Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
On 30 September 2004, DB RREEF Diversified Trust and its subsidiaries ("the Group" or "the Stapled Entity") was formed by the stapling together of DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO ("the Trusts"). In accordance with AASB Interpretation 1002: Post-Date-of-Transition Stapling Arrangements, the Stapled Entity reflects a consolidated group. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the trusts is DDF. The consolidated results reflect the performance of the parent, DDF, from 1 July 2004 and the additions of DIT, DOT and DRO from the date of consolidation, being 1 October 2004. Equity attributable to other stapled entities is a form of minority interest in accordance with AASB 1002 and in the DDF consolidated column, represents the equity of DIT, DOT and DRO. Other minority interests represents the equity attributable to parties external to the Stapled Entity.
The combined financial reports have been prepared under ASIC Class Order CO 05/642: Combining Financial Reports of Stapled Security Issuers, which allows issuers of stapled securities to include their financial statements and the consolidated or combined financial statements of the stapled group in adjacent columns in one financial report.
The DDF Consolidated column represents the consolidated financial report of DDF, which comprises DDF and its controlled entities, DIT and its controlled entities, DOT and its controlled entities and DRO and its controlled entities.
DB RREEF Trust stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange under the code DRT and comprise of one unit in each of the Trust, DIT, DOT and DRO. Each entity forming part of DRT continues as a separate legal entity in its own right under the Corporations Act 2001 and is therefore required to comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards.
This general purpose interim financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2005 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Trusts' Constitutions, AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, and the Corporations Act 2001.
This half-year financial report is prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with historical cost conventions and has not been adjusted to take account of either changes in the general purchasing power of the dollar or changes in the values of specific assets, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments (refer notes 1(f), 1(n), 1(o), $1(r)$ and $1(u)$ ).
The financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual financial reports of the stapled entity and each of the Trusts for the year ended 30 June 2005 and any public pronouncements made by the Stapled Entity during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements of the Stapled Entity for the year ended 30 June 2005 were prepared in accordance with previous Australian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("AGAAP").
This is the first half-year financial report prepared in accordance with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS"). The Stapled Entity changed its accounting policies on 1 July 2005 to comply with AIFRS. The transition to AIFRS has been accounted for in accordance with AASB 1: First Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, with 1 July 2004 as the date of transition. Reconciliations and descriptions of the effects of transition from previous AGAAP to AIFRS are provided in note 15.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2005. With the exception of financial instruments, the comparative information presented in these financial statements has been restated to reflect these adjustments. The Stapled Entity has taken the exemption available under AASB 1 to only apply AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement from 1 July 2005.
The Stapled Entity has elected not to apply AASB 3: Business Combinations, retrospectively to business combinations that occurred prior to the transition date of 1 July 2004.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Principles of consolidation
Controlled entities
The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis in recognition of the fact that while the securities issued by the Trusts are stapled into one trading security and cannot be traded separately, the financial statements must be presented on a consolidated basis. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the Trusts is DDF.
On 30 September 2004, DDF was deemed to have acquired the other trusts and as a result, the underlying assets and liabilities of the other trusts were adjusted to fair value as at this date. Information from the financial statements of the subsidiaries has been included from 1 October 2004. It should be noted that investors in DRT have been entitled to the returns from the underlying Trusts from 1 July 2004. The accounting policies of the subsidiary trusts are consistent with the parent.
The financial statements incorporate an elimination of inter-entity transactions and balances to present the financial statements on a consolidated basis.
Net profit and equity in controlled entities, which is attributable to the unitholdings of minority interests, is shown separately in the Income Statement and Balance Sheet respectively.
Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the Income Statement from the date on which control is gained.
Partnerships and joint ventures
Where assets are held in a partnership or joint venture with another entity directly, the Stapled Entity's share of the results and assets of this partnership or joint venture is consolidated into the income statement and balance sheet of the Stapled Entity. Where assets are jointly controlled via ownership of units in single purpose unlisted unit trusts or shares in companies, the Stapled Entity applies equity accounting to record the operations of these investments (refer note 1(r)).
(c) Revenue recognition
Rent
Rental income is brought to account on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with fixed rent review clauses. In all other circumstances rental income is brought to account on an accruals basis. If not received at balance date, rental income is reflected in the Balance Sheet as a receivable. Recoverability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be not collectable are written off.
Income support
Rental income support is brought to account on an accruals basis in accordance with the relevant contractual arrangements.
Interest income
Interest income is brought to account on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method and, if not received at the balance date, is reflected in the Balance Sheet as a receivable.
(d) Dividends and distribution income
Income from dividends and distributions are recognised when declared. Amounts not received at balance date are included as a receivable in the Balance Sheet.
(e) Expenses
Expenses are brought to account on an accruals basis and, if not paid at the balance date, are reflected in the Balance Sheet as a payable.
Property expenses
Property expenses include rates, taxes and other property outgoings incurred in relation to investment properties where such expenses are the responsibility of the Trusts.
(e) Expenses (continued)
Financing costs to financial institutions
Financing costs include interest expense and other costs incurred in respect of obtaining finance. Other transaction costs incurred including loan establishment fees in respect of obtaining finance are applied against the related financings with the amortisation of such costs being recognised through the effective interest rate on the financing over the term of the respective agreement.
Financing costs are expensed unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset, the amount of financing costs capitalised are those incurred in relation to that financing, net of any interest earned on those financings. Where funds are borrowed generally, financing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate.
(f) Derivatives and other financial instruments
The Stapled Entity has adopted the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005. Therefore, the Stapled Entity has applied superseded AGAAP in the comparative information on financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139. For further information on previous AGAAP refer to the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2005. The accounting policies set out below are applicable from 1 July 2005.
Derivatives $\langle i \rangle$
The Stapled Entity's activities expose it to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Accordingly, the Stapled Entity enters into various derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to the movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. There are policies and limits approved by the board of directors of the Responsible Entity in respect of the usage of derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge those cash flows and earnings which are subject to interest rate risks and foreign currency risk respectively. In conjunction with its advisers, the Responsible Entity continually reviews the Stapled Entity's exposures and updates its treasury policies and procedures. The Stapfed Entity does not trade in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
Even though the derivatives entered into aim to provide an economic hedge to interest rate and foreign currency risks, the Stapled Entity has elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly, derivatives including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts, are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognised immediately in the Income Statement.
(ii) Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the Income Statement.
(iii) Debt and equity instruments issued by the Stapled Entity
Financial instruments issued by the Stapled Entity are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements. Accordingly, ordinary units issued to DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO are classified as equity.
Interest and distributions are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the balance sheet classification of the related debt or equity instruments.
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity (net of tax) as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.
(iv) Loans and receivables
Loans and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment. Loan notes receivable are classified as loans and receivables and are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
$(q)$ GST
Revenues, expenses and capital assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ("GST"), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office ("ATO"). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from or payable to the ATO is classified as operating cash flows.
(h) Taxation
Under current Australian income tax legislation DDF, DIT and DOT, are not liable for income tax provided they satisfy the requirements of the ATO. However, DRO is liable for tax on income relating to its funds management business which is accounted for as follows:
- The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on a tax rate of 30% adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses.
- Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax base of those items. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax assets or liabilities. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability (where they do not arise as a result of a business combination and did not affect either accounting profit/loss or taxable profit/loss).
- Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
- Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
- Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
Withholding tax payable on distributions received by the Stapled Entity from DB RREEF Industrial Properties Inc ("US REIT") are recognised as an expense as incurred. In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of US assets and liabilities in the Trust (held by US REIT) and their accounting carrying value at balance date. Any deferred tax liability or asset is calculated using a blend of the current withholding tax rate applicable to income distributions and the applicable US federal and state taxes.
Under current Australian income tax legislation, the security holders will be generally entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for US withholding tax deducted from dividends paid by the US REIT.
(i) Distributions
In accordance with the Trust's Constitution, the Trust distributes its distributable income to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. Distributions are provided for when they are declared.
(j) Repairs and maintenance
Plant is required to be overhauled on a regular basis and is managed as part of an ongoing major cyclical maintenance program. The costs of this maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the replaced component will be derecognised and the replacement costs capitalised in accordance with note 1(o). Other routine operating maintenance, repair costs and minor renewals are also charged as expenses as incurred.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(I) Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, which is based on the invoiced amount less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an on-going basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Stapled Entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
(m) Inventories
Properties undergoing or having completed construction or development for ultimate sale are classified as inventory and are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is assigned by specific identification and includes the cost of acquisition, and development and finance costs during development. When development is completed, finance costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred.
(n) Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Land and freehold buildings are accounted for using the cost method. Construction in progress is subsequently recognised at fair value in the financial statements.
Revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, unless they are reversing a previous decrement charged as an expense in the Income Statement, in which case they are credited directly to the Income Statement.
Revaluation decrements are recognised directly as an expense in the Income Statement, unless they are reversing a revaluation increment previously credited to, and still included in the balance of the asset revaluation reserve, in which case they are debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.
(o) Investment properties
Investment properties consist of properties held for long term rental yields, capital appreciation or both. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Investment properties are subsequently recognised at fair value in the financial statements.
The basis of valuations of investment properties is fair value being the amounts for which the assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar leases. Where this is not available, an appropriate valuation method is used, which may include the discounted cashflow and the capitalisation method.
External valuations of the individual investments are carried out in accordance with the Trusts' Constitutions, or may be earlier where the Responsible Entity believes there is a potential for a material change in the fair value of the property.
Changes in fair values are recorded in the Income Statement. The gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the date of disposal and the net proceeds from disposal and is included in the Income Statement in the year of disposal.
Subsequent redevelopment and refurbishment costs (other than repairs and maintenance) are capitalised to the investment property where they result in an enhancement in the future economic benefits of the property. Repairs and maintenance are accounted for in accordance with note 1(i).
(i) Held for sale investment properties
Investment properties intended for sale are separately disclosed on the Balance Sheet as "Held for sale investment properties". Such properties are measured using the same methodology as investment properties.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(p) Leasing fees
Leasing fees incurred are capitalised and amortised over the lease periods to which they relate.
(q) Lease incentives
Prospective lessees may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into operating leases. These incentives may take various forms including cash payments, rent free periods, or a contribution to certain lessee costs such as fit out costs or relocation costs.
The costs of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis from the earlier of the date which the tenant has effective use of the premises or the lease commencement date to the end of the lease term. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties.
(r) Investments accounted for using the equity method
Some property investments are held through the ownership of units in single purpose unlisted trusts or shares in unlisted companies where the Stapled Entity exerts significant influence or joint control but does not have a controlling interest. These investments are considered to be associates and the equity method of accounting is applied in the consolidated financial statements.
Under this method, the entity's share of the post-acquisition profits of associates is recognised as revenue in the Income Statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity's income Statement, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Stapled Entity's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate (including any unsecured receivables) the Stapled Entity does not recognise any further losses unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
(s) Acquisition of assets
The purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions including business combinations. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer note 1(t)). If the cost is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the Income Statement.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange discounted at the entity's incremental financing rate.
(t) Goodwill
Where an operation or entity is acquired, the identifiable net assets acquired are measured at fair value. The excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets is brought to account as goodwill in the Balance Sheet. The carrying value of the goodwill is tested for impairment at each reporting date with any decrement in value taken to the Income Statement as an expense.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(u) Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilites
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and available for sale securities) is based on quoted market price at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Stapled Entity is the current bid price, the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques including dealer quotes for similar instruments and discounted cash flows. In particular, the fair value of interest-rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows and the fair value of forward exchange rate contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date.
(v) Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for amounts owing by the Trusts at balance date which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(w) Interest bearing liabilities
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement.
(x) Earnings per stapled security
Basic and diluted earnings per stapled security is determined by dividing the net profit attributable to security holders of the Stapled Entity by the weighted average number of ordinary stapled securities outstanding during the half-year.
(y) Foreign currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Stapled Entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (" the functional currency"). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Stapled Entity's functional and presentation currency of each of DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO.
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statement.
(ii) Foreign operations
Foreign operations are located in the United States of America ("US") and New Zealand ("NZ"). These operations have a functional currency of US Dollars and NZ Dollars respectively, which are translated into the presentation currency.
The assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly. Exchange differences arising, are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation on or after the date of transition to AIFRS are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(z) Segment reporting
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing services within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.
(aa) Rounding of amounts
The Stapled Entity is the kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, relating to the rounding off of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(c) Reconciliation of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for DDF Consolidated
The adoption of AIFRS has not resulted in any material adjustments to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
(d) Notes to the recondiliation for DDF Consolidated
(i) Rental revenue
Under AGAAP, the amount of rental revenue recognised in each reporting period was determined according to the contracted amount owed by each tenant for that reporting period.
AASB 117: Leases, requires rental revenues from leases with fixed rent review clauses to be straightlined over the life of the lease. This will result in changes to rental revenue recognised in each reporting period, and the recognition of a straightlining asset, which will be included as part of the book value of the property to which it relates. However, these will be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to income and to investment properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit and net assets of the Stapled Entity.
The effect is:
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 Rental revenue increased by \$1,727,000, and increment on revaluation of investments decreased by \$1,727,000.
For the year ended 30 June 2005
Rental revenue increased by \$5,744,000 and increment on revaluation of investments decreased by \$5,744,000.
(ii) Revenue disclosures in relation to the sale of non-current assets
Under AGAAP, gross proceeds from the sale of non-current assets were recognised as income and the carrying amount of the assets sold was recognised as an expense. Under AIFRS, the revenue recognised in relation to the sale is the net gain on sale.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004
Proceeds from sale of investment properties of \$282,492,000, and book value of property investments sold of \$262,922,000 is no longer shown in the Consolidated Income Statement, with the net amount of \$19,570,000 being shown instead as net gain on sale of investment properties.
For the year ended 30 June 2005
Proceeds from sale of investment properties of \$504,750,000, and book value of property investments sold of \$479,043,000 is no longer shown in the Consolidated Income Statement, with the net amount of \$25,707,000 being shown instead as net gain on sale of investment properties.
(iii) Tax expense
Previously, under AGAAP, depreciation allowances for tax purposes, revaluations of investment properties held in the US REIT and the revaluation of derivatives did not impact on the tax expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. A liability was only recognised if management intended to dispose of an investment property, without acquiring a replacement asset, within the permitted time frame.
Under AASB 112: Income Taxes, deferred tax balances are determined using the balance sheet method. A deferred tax fiability is recognised for depreciation aflowances for tax purposes, revaluations of investment properties held in the US REIT and the revaluation of derivatives associated with this operation. This change does not impact on Australian assets owned by trusts classed as flow through vehicles under Australian Taxation Law.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004 There is no effect on the Trust.
At 31 December 2004 There is no effect on the Trust.
At 30 June 2005 Deferred tax liabilities increased by \$23,637,000 and foreign currency translation reserve has increased by \$123,000.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 There is no effect on the Trust.
For the year ended 30 June 2005 Withholding tax expense has increased by \$23,514.000.
Note 15. Explanation of transition to Australian Equivalents to IFRS (continued)
(d) Notes to the reconciliation for DDF Consolidated (continued)
(iv) Lease incentives
Under AGAAP, the policy of the Stapled Entity was to capitalise rent free incentives and leasing fees and amortise these over the life of the lease with the amortisation expense being shown as part of property expenses. The amortised balances of these incentives was shown as an asset separate to the properties to which they related. Fitout and cash incentives owned by the lessor were capitalised into the book values of the properties to which they related.
Under AASB117: Leases, and UIG 115: Operating Leases - Incentives, all lease incentives are required to be capitalised and amortised against property revenue over the life of lease to which they relate. All incentives will now be incorporated into the property book values. Amortisation recorded on these incentives will be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to the Consolidated Income Statement and to investment properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit of the Stapled Entity.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004
Other assets - current decreased by \$607,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$941,000 and undistributed income decreased by \$1,548.000.
At 31 December 2004
Other assets - current decreased by \$870,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$4,918,000 and investment properties increased by \$5,788,000. \$278,000 of the increase in investment properties has been adjusted through revaluations since the transition date.
At 30 June 2005
Other assets - current decreased by \$2.412.000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$16,090,000 and investment properties increased by \$18,502,000. \$11,732,000 of the increase in investment properties has been adjusted through revaluations since the transition date.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004
Property expenses decreased by \$271,000, property revenue decreased by \$3,006,000 and increment on revaluation of investments increased by \$1,593,000 with the remainder being taken to investment properties.
For the year ended 30 June 2005
Property expenses decreased by \$1,492,000, property revenue decreased by \$9,658,000 and increment on revaluation of investments increased by \$147,000 with the remainder being taken to investment properties.
(v) Investment property
Under AGAAP, revaluation increments and decrements on investment properties were recognised in the asset revaluation reserve. Under AASB 140: Investment Property, such revaluation increments and decrements are recognised through the Consolidated Income Statement.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the batance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004
The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$153,961,000 and undistributed income increased by \$153,961,000.
At 31 December 2004
The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$235,066,000 and undistributed income increased by \$218,816,000 with the remainder being taken to the Consolidated Income Statement.
At 30 June 2005
The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$425,217,000, undistributed income increased by \$218,816,000 and minority interest decreased by \$1,294,000 with the remainder being taken to the consolidated income statement.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004
The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$20,732,000 and net profit attributable to minority interest has increased by \$4,482,000.
For the year ended 30 June 2005
The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$267,138,000 and net profit attributable to minority interest has increased by \$59,111,000.
Note 15. Explanation of transition to Australian Equivalents to IFRS (continued)
(d) Notes to the reconciliation for DDF Consolidated (continued)
(vi) Investments accounted for using the equity method
All investments accounted for using the equity method held by the Stapled Entity now apply the AIFRS standards. Under AASB 140: Investment Property, revaluation increments and decrements are now shown in the Consolidated income Statement. Also, under AASB 112: Income Taxes, a deferred tax expense is recognised for tax depreciation allowances and revaluations of investment properties held in the US REIT.
As a result, these adjustments are now reflected in the share of net profits of associates using the equity method on the Consolidated income Statement, and the investments accounted for using the equity method on the Balance Sheet.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004 There is no effect on the Trust.
At 31 December 2004 Investments accounted for using the equity method decreased by \$242,000 with the adjustment taken to undistributed income.
At 30 June 2005 Investments accounted for using the equity method decreased by \$242,000 with the adjustment taken to undistributed income.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 There is no effect on the Trust.
For the year ended 30 June 2005 There is no effect on the Trust.
(vii) Derivatives
Under previous AGAAP, derivatives were not recorded on balance sheet but disclosed in the notes to the accounts. The Trust has elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB139: Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly, derivatives including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value through the Income Statement and recognised on the Balance Sheet. However, the Stapled Entity has adopted the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005. Therefore the Trust has applied previous AGAAP in the comparative information on financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139.
At 1 July 2005:
- A derivative financial asset of \$15,672,000 and a derivative financial liability of \$18,521,000 were recorded to recognise the fair value of interest rate swaps, \$3,127,000 being taken to undistributed income with the balance of \$278,000 being taken to minority interest.
- A derivative financial asset of \$5,716,000 and a derivative financial liability of \$115,000 were recorded to recognise the fair
- value of foreign exchange contracts, with the net of \$5,601,000 being taken to undistributed income. An additional deferred tax asset of \$689,000 was recorded to recognise the tax impact of the value of derivative
- financial instruments, with the adjustment taken to undistributed income.
(ix) Valuation of sub-trust
Under previous AGAAP, DOT's sub-trust, DB RREEF RENTS Trust recorded its investment in DOT Commercial Trust at cost. On 1 July 2005, DOT applied AASB 132 and AASB 139, and the basis of valuation of this investment was changed to fair value. The impact of this change at 1 July 2005 was to increase other minority interest by \$6.368.000 with a corresponding decrease in undistributed income.
(x) Impairment
Goodwill was generated upon acquisition of the US REIT. Goodwill has been tested for impairment based on the underlying property values and at 30 June 2005, the asset had not been impaired.
(xi) Equity
The effect on equity of the changes set out above are as follows:

(c) Reconciliation of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for DIT Consolidated
The adoption of AIFRS has not resulted in any material adjustments to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
(d) Notes to the recondiliation for DIT Consolidated
(i) Rental revenue
Under AGAAP, the amount of rental revenue recognised in each reporting period was determined according to the contracted amount owed by each tenant for that reporting period.
AASB 117: Leases, requires rental revenues from leases with fixed rent review clauses to be straightlined over the life of the lease. This will result in changes to rental revenue recognised in each reporting period, and the recognition of a straightlining asset, which will be included as part of the book value of the property to which it relates. However, these will be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to income and to investment properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit and net assets of DIT
The effect is:
For the half-vear ended 31 December 2004 There is no effect on DIT.
For the year ended 30 June 2005 There is no effect on DIT.
(ii) Revenue disclosures in relation to the sale of non-current assets
Under AGAAP, gross proceeds from the sale of non-current assets were recognised as income and the carrying amount of the assets sold was recognised as an expense. Under AIFRS, the revenue recognised in relation to the sale is the net gain on sale.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004
Proceeds from sale of investment properties of \$4,200,000 and book value of property investments sold of \$4,387,000 is no longer shown in the Consolidated Income Statement, with the net amount of \$187,000 being shown instead as net loss on sale of investment properties.
For the year ended 30 June 2005
Proceeds from sale of investment properties of \$26,200,000, and book value of property investments sold of \$25,221,000 is no longer shown in the Consolidated Income Statement, with the net amount of \$979,000 being shown instead as net gain on sale of investment properties.
(iii) Lease incentives
Under AGAAP, the policy of DIT was to capitalise rent free incentives and leasing fees and amortise these over the life of the lease with the amortisation expense being shown as part of property expenses. The amortised balances of these incentives was shown as an asset separate to the properties to which they related. Fitout and cash incentives owned by the lessor were capitalised into the book values of the properties to which they related.
Under AASB 117: Leases, and UIG 115: Operating Leases - Incentives, all lease incentives are required to be capitalised and amortised against property revenue over the life of lease to which they relate. All incentives will now be incorporated into the property book values. Amortisation recorded on these incentives will be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to the Consolidated Income Statement and to investment properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit of DIT.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004
Other assets - current decreased by \$2,624,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$9,139,000 and undistributed income decreased by \$11,763,000.
At 31 December 2004
Other assets - current decreased by \$361,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$1,297,000, investment properties increased by \$36,000 and undistributed income decreased by \$1,622,000. \$152,000 of the increase in investment properties has been adjusted through revaluations since the transition date.
At 30 June 2005
Other assets - current decreased by \$653,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$3,442,000, investment properties increased by \$2,473,000 and undistributed income decreased by \$1,622,000. \$369,000 of the increase in investment properties has been adjusted through revaluations since the transition date.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004
Property expenses decreased by \$224,000, property revenue decreased by \$380,000 and increment on revaluation of investments increased by \$307,000 with the remainder being taken to investment properties.
For the year ended 30 June 2005
Property expenses decreased by \$620,000, property revenue decreased by \$1,148,000 and increment on revaluation of investments increased by \$898,000 with the remainder being taken to investment properties.
Note 15. Explanation of transition to Australian Equivalents to IFRS (continued)
(d) Notes to the reconciliation for DIT Consolidated (continued)
(iv) Investment property
Under AGAAP, revaluation increments and decrements on investment properties were recognised in the asset revaluation reserve. Under AASB 140: Investment Property, such revaluation increments and decrements are recognised through the Consolidated Income Statement.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004 The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$50,261,000 and undistributed income increased by \$50,261,000.
At 31 December 2004 The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$42,715,000 and undistributed income increased by \$33,012,000 with the remainder being taken to the Consolidated Income Statement.
At 30 June 2005 The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$52,520,000 and undistributed income increased by \$25,832,000 with the remainder being taken to the Consolidated Income Statement.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$9,704,000.
For the year ended 30 June 2005 The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$26,688,000.
(v) Property, plant and equipment
Under AGAAP, properties under construction were included in, and accounted for, as investment properties. Under AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment, properties under construction have been reclassified in the balance sheet as property, plant and equipment.
At 1 July 2004 Investment properties decreased by \$23,700,000 and property, plant and equipment increased by \$23,700,000.
At 31 December 2004 There is no effect on DIT.
At 30 June 2005 There is no effect on DIT.
(vi) Investments accounted for using the equity method
All investments accounted for using the equity method held by the Stapled Entity now apply the AIFRS standards. Under AASB 140: investment Property, revaluation increments and decrements are now shown in the Consolidated income Statement. Also, under AASB 112: Income Taxes, a deferred tax expense is recognised for tax depreciation allowances and revaluations of investment properties held in the US REIT.
As a result, these adjustments are now reflected in the share of net profits of associates using the equity method on the Consolidated Income Statement, and the investments accounted for using the equity method on the Balance Sheet.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the batance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004 There is no effect on DIT.
At 31 December 2004 There is no effect on DIT.
At 30 June 2005 The asset revaluation reserve decreased by \$45,982,000, investments accounted for using the equity method decreased by \$14,538,000 with the adjustment taken to the Consolidated Income Statement.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 There is no effect on DIT.
For the year ended 30 June 2005 Share of net profits of associates accounted for using the equity method has increased by \$31,443,000.
Note 15. Explanation of transition to Australian Equivalents to IFRS (continued)
(d) Notes to the reconciliation for DIT Consolidated (continued)
(vii) Derivatives
Under previous AGAAP, derivatives were not recorded on balance sheet but disclosed in the notes to the accounts. DIT has elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB139: Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly, derivatives including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value through the Income Statement and recognised on the Balance Sheet. However, DIT has adopted the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005. Therefore DIT has applied previous AGAAP in the comparative information on financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139.
At 1 July 2005:
- A derivative financial asset of \$3,717,000 and a derivative financial liability of \$6,732,000 was recorded to recognise the fair value of interest rate swaps, with the net of \$3,015,000 being taken to undistributed income.
- A derivative financial asset of \$2,858,000 and a derivative financial fiability of \$23,000 was recorded to recognised the fair value of foreign exchange contracts, with the net of \$2,835,000 being taken to undistributed income.
- Investments accounted for using the equity method increased by \$652,000 to record a derivative financial asset, and undistributed income increased by \$652,000.
- Investments accounted for using the equity method increased by \$247,000 to record a deferred tax asset which arose upon the recognition of a derivative financial asset, and undistributed income increased by \$247,000.

(c) Reconciliation of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for DOT Consolidated
The adoption of AIFRS has not resulted in any material adjustments to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
(d) Notes to the reconciliation for DOT Consolidated
(i) Rental revenue
Under AGAAP, the amount of rental revenue recognised in each reporting period was determined according to the contracted amount owed by each tenant for that reporting period.
AASB 117: Leases, requires rental revenues from leases with fixed rent review clauses to be straightlined over the life of the lease. This will result in changes to rental revenue recognised in each reporting period, and the recognition of a straightlining asset, which will be included as part of the book value of the property to which it relates. However, these will be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to income and to investment properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit and net assets of DOT.
The effect is:
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 Rental revenue increased by \$3,354,000, and increment on revaluation of investments decreased by \$3,354,000.
For the year ended 30 June 2005 Rental revenue increased by \$7,370,000, and increment on revaluation of investments decreased by \$7,370,000.
(ii) Revenue disclosures in relation to the sale of non-current assets
Under AGAAP, gross proceeds from the sale of non-current assets were recognised as income and the carrying amount of the assets sold was recognised as an expense. Under AIFRS, the revenue recognised in relation to the sale is the net gain on sale.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 There is no effect on DOT.
For the year ended 30 June 2005 There is no effect on DOT.
(iii) Lease incentives
Under AGAAP, the policy of DOT was to capitalise rent free incentives and leasing fees and amortise these over the life of the lease with the amortisation expense being shown as part of property expenses. The amortised balances of these incentives was shown as an asset separate to the properties to which they related. Fitout and cash incentives owned by the lessor were capitalised into the book values of the properties to which they related.
Under AASB117: Leases, and UIG 115: Operating Leases - Incentives, all lease incentives are required to be capitalised and amortised against property revenue over the life of lease to which they relate. All incentives will now be incorporated into the property book values. Amortisation recorded on these incentives will be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to the Consolidated Income Statement and to investment properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit of DOT.
The effect is:
At 1.July 2004
Other assets - current decreased by \$2,790,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$14,864,000 and undistributed income decreased by \$17,654,000.
At 31 December 2004
Other assets - current decreased by \$920,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$3,224,000, investment properties increased by \$3,799,000 and undistributed income decreased by \$345,000. \$591,000 of the increase in investment properties has been adjusted through revaluation since the transition date.
At 30 June 2005
Other assets - current decreased by \$1,673,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$6,353,000, investment properties increased by \$8,346,000 and undistributed income increases by \$320,000. \$6,105,000 of the increase in investment properties has been adjusted through revaluation since the transition date.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004
Property expenses decreased by \$200,000, property revenue decreased by \$3,221,000 and increment on revaluation of investments increased by \$2,128,000 with the remainder being taken to investment properties.
For the year ended 30 June 2005
Property expenses decreased by \$863,000, property revenue decreased by \$7,796,000 and increment on revaluation of investments increased by \$3,059,000 with the remainder being taken to investment properties.
Note 15. Explanation of transition to Australian Equivalents to IFRS (continued)
(d) Notes to the reconciliation for DOT Consolidated (continued)
(iv) Investment property
Under AGAAP, revaluation increments and decrements on investment properties were recognised in the asset revaluation reserve. Under AASB 140: Investment Property, such revaluation increments and decrements are recognised through the Consolidated Income Statement.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004
The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$30,539,000 and undistributed income increased by \$30,539,000.
At 31 December 2004
The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$27,288.000 and undistributed income increased by \$157,000 with the remainder being taken to the Consolidated Income Statement.
At 30 June 2005
The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$91,818,000, undistributed income increased by \$157,000 with the remainder being taken to the Consolidated Income Statement.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$22,635,000.
For the year ended 30 June 2005 The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$85,302,000.
(v) Investments accounted for using the equity method
All investments accounted for using the equity method held by the Stapled Entity now apply the AIFRS standards. Under AASB 140: Investment Property, revaluation increments and decrements are now shown in the Consolidated Income Statement.
As a result, these adjustments are now reflected in the share of net profits of associates using the equity method on the Consolidated Income Statement, and the investments accounted for using the equity method on the Balance Sheet.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
The effect is:
At 1 July 2004
The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$2,000,000 and undistributed income increased by \$2,000,000.
At 31 December 2004
Investments accounted for using the equity method decreased by \$243,000 with the adjustment taken to the Consolidated Income Statement.
At 30 June 2005
Investments accounted for using the equity method decreased by \$243,000 with the adjustment taken to the Consolidated Income Statement.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2004 The share of net losses of associates accounted for using the equity method has increased by \$4,113,000 and the increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$3,870,000.
For the year ended 30 June 2005
The share of net losses of associates accounted for using the equity method has increased by \$4,113,000 and the increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$3,870,000.
(vi) Derivatives
Under previous AGAAP, derivatives were not recorded on balance sheet but disclosed in the notes to the accounts. DOT has elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB139: Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly, derivatives including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value through the Income Statement and recognised on the Balance Sheet. However, DOT has adopted the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005. Therefore DOT has applied previous AGAAP in the comparative information on financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139.
At 1 July 2005:
- A derivative financial asset of \$5,590,000 and a derivative financial liability of \$7,652,000 was recorded to recognise the fair value of interest rate swaps with the net of \$2,062,000 being taken to undistributed income.
- A derivative financial liability of \$66,000 was recorded to recognise the fair value of foreign exchange contracts, with the net of \$66,000 being taken to undistributed income.
(vii) Valuation of sub-trust
Under previous AGAAP, DOT's sub-trust, DB RREEF RENTS Trust recorded its investment in DOT Commercial Trust at cost. On 1 July 2005, DOT applied AASB 132 and AASB 139, and the basis of valuation of this investment was changed to fair value. The impact of this change at 1 July 2005 was to increase other minority interest by \$6,368,000 with a corresponding decrease in undistributed income.

If users of this report are concerned with the inherent risks arising from electronic data communications they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the audited financial report to confirm the information included in the audited financial report presented on this web site.
Audit opinion
In our opinion, the financial report of DB RREEF Diversified Group:
- gives a true and fair view, as required by the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia, of the financial position of the DB RREEF Diversified Group (defined below) as at 31 December 2005 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and
- is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standard AASB ٠ 134: Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
This opinion must be read in conjunction with the rest of our audit report.
Scope
The financial report and directors' responsibility
The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for the DB RREEF Diversified Group (the consolidated entity), for the half-year ended 31 December 2005. The consolidated entity comprises both DB RREEF Diversified Trust (the trust) and the entities it controlled during that half-year, including DB RREEF Office Trust, DB RREEF Industrial Trust, DB RREEF Operations Trust, and the entities they controlled during that half year.
The directors of DB RREEF Funds Management Limited, the responsible entity, are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach
We conducted an independent audit in order for the consolidated entity to lodge the financial report with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. For further explanation of an audit, visit our website http://www.pwc.com/au/financialstatementaudit.
We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the consolidated entity's financial position, and its performance as represented by the results of its operations, changes in equity and cash flows.
We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:
- examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and $\bullet$ disclosures in the financial report, and
- assessing the appropriateness of accounting policies and disclosures used and the $\bullet$ reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.
Our procedures include reading the other information included with the financial report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.
While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

Matters relating to the electronic presentation of the audited financial report
This audit report relates to the financial report of DB RREEF Office Group (the consolidated entity) for the half-year ended 31 December 2005 included on DB RREEF Office Group's web site. The directors of DB RREEF Funds Management Limited are responsible for the integrity of the DB RREEF Office Group web site. We have not been engaged to report on the integrity of this web site. The audit report refers only to the financial report identified below. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial report. If users of this report are concerned with the inherent risks arising from electronic data communications they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the audited financial report to confirm the information included in the audited financial report presented on this web site.
Audit opinion
In our opinion, the financial report of DB RREEF Office Group:
- gives a true and fair view, as required by the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia, of the financial position of the DB RREEF Office Group (defined below) as at 31 December 2005 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and
- is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
This opinion must be read in conjunction with the rest of our audit report.
Scope
The financial report and directors' responsibility
The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for the DB RREEF Office Group (the consolidated entity), for the half-year ended 31 December 2005. The consolidated entity comprises both DB RREEF Office Trust (the trust) and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
The directors of DB RREEF Funds Management Limited, the responsible entity, are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach
We conducted an independent audit in order for the consolidated entity to lodge the financial report with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. For further explanation of an audit, visit our website http://www.pwc.com/au/financialstatementaudit.
We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the consolidated entity's financial position, and its performance as represented by the results of its operations, changes in equity and cash flows.
We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:
- examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and $\bullet$ disclosures in the financial report, and
- assessing the appropriateness of accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.
Our procedures include reading the other information included with the financial report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.
While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.
