Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
In accordance with AASB Interpretation 1002: Post-Date-of-Transition Stapling Arrangements, the Group must be consolidated. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the Trusts is DDF.
The combined Financial Statements have been prepared under ASIC Class Order CO 05/642: Combining Financial Statements 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 result 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. Equity attributable to other trusts stapled to DDF 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 Group.
DB RREEF Trust stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange under the code 'DRT' and comprise one unit in each of DDF, 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.
DB RREEF Funds Management Limited as Responsible Entity for each of the Trusts may only unstaple the Trusts if approval is obtained by special resolution of the stapled security holders.
This general purpose interim financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2006 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(d), 1(g), and 1(k)).
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 Group and each of the Trusts for the year ended 30 June 2006 and any public pronouncements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
(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. The accounting policies of the subsidiary trusts are consistent with those of 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, are shown separately in the Income Statements and Balance Sheets respectively.
Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial period, its results are included in the Income Statements 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 Group's share of the results and assets of the partnership or joint venture are consolidated into the Income Statements and Balance Sheets of the Group. Where assets are jointly controlled via ownership of units in single purpose unlisted unit trusts or shares in companies, the Group applies equity accounting to record the operations of these investments.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(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) Derivatives and other financial instruments
(i) Derivatives
The Group's activities expose it to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Accordingly, the Group enters into various derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to the movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Policies and limits are 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 risks respectively. In conjunction with its advisers, the Responsible Entity continually reviews the Group's exposures and updates its treasury policies and procedures. The Group 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 Group has elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly, derivatives including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts, are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognised immediately in the Income Statements.
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 Statements.
(iii) Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group
Financial instruments issued by the Group are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements. Accordingly, ordinary units issued by 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) Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial Guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate.
The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in the net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations.
Where quarantees in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries or associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.
Change in accounting policy
The policy of recognising financial guarantee contracts as financial liabilities was adopted for the first time in the current financial year. In previous reporting periods, a liability for financial guarantee contracts was only recognised if it was probable that the debtor would default and a payment would be required under the contract.
The change in policy was necessary following the change to AASB 139 Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement. The new policy has been applied retrospectively. There were no adjustments to current and prior period numbers as the fair value calculated by management was not material.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(e) Taxation
Under current Australian income tax legislation DDF, DIT and DOT are not liable for income tax provided they satisfy the requirements of the Australian Taxation Office. However, DRO as a trading trust, is liable for tax 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 Group from DB RREEF Industrial Properties Inc ("US REIT") is 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 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.
DIT France Logistique SAS ("DIT France"), a wholly owned sub trust of DIT, is liable for French corporation tax on its taxable income at the rate of 34.43%. In addition a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense / benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the French assets and their accounting carrying value at balance date.
DB RREEF GLOG Trust, a wholly owned Australian sub trust of DIT, is liable for German income tax on its German-sourced income at the rate of 26.375%. In addition a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense / benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the German assets and their accounting carrying value at balance date.
(f) Distributions
In accordance with the Trusts' Constitutions, the Trusts distribute their distributable income to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. Distributions are provided for when they are approved by the Board of Directors and declared.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(g) 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 valuation of investment properties is fair value being the amount 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. Discount rates and capitalisation rates are determined based on industry expertise and knowledge, and where possible a direct comparison to third party rates for similar assets in a comparable location. Rental income from current leases and assumptions about future leases, as well as any expected operational cash outflows in relation to the property, are also reflected in fair value.
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 Statements. 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 Statements 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.
Held for sale investment properties
Investment properties intended for sale are separately disclosed on the Balance Sheets as "Held for sale investment properties". Such properties are measured using the same methodology as investment properties.
(h) 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 Group 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 Financial Statements.
Under this method, the entity's share of the post-acquisition profits of associates is recognised as income in the Income Statements. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends or distributions receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity's Income Statements, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate (including any unsecured receivables) the Group does not recognise any further losses unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
(i) 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(j)). If the cost is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the Income Statements.
Where settlement of any part of the 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.
(i) Goodwill
Where a business 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 Sheets. The carrying value of the goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it may be impaired, with any decrement in value taken to the Income Statements as an expense.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilites
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are 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 prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the bid price. The appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the 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.
(I) 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.
(m) Earnings per unit
Basic and diluted earnings per unit are determined by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent entity (DDF) by the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding during the period.
(n) Foreign currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Group 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 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 Statements.
(ii) Foreign operations
Foreign operations are located in the United States of America ("US"), France, Germany and New Zealand ("NZ"). These operations have functional currencies of US Dollars, Euro and NZ Dollars, 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.
(o) 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 geographic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other geographic environments.
(p) Rounding of amounts
The Group is of a 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.

PRICEWATERHOUSE COPERS IS
The directors of DB RREEF Funds Management Limited 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 trust 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 € disclosures in the financial report, and
- assessing the appropriateness of accounting policies and disclosures used and the 發 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.
