Refer to the attached media release for a commentary on the results of the Group.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

As announced on 13 December 2010, the DRP has been suspended until further notice. As a consequence, the DRP will not operate for this distribution payment.

Notes

Note 1: For the purposes of statutory reporting, the stapled entity, known as DXS, must be accounted for as a consolidated group. Accordingly, one of the stapled entities must be the "deemed acquirer" of all other entities in the group. DEXUS Diversified Trust has been chosen as the deemed acquirer of the balance of the DXS stapled entities, comprising DEXUS Industrial Trust, DEXUS Office Trust and DEXUS Operations Trust.

Note 2: The distribution for the period 1 July 2011 to 31 December 2011 is the aggregate of the distributions from DEXUS Diversified Trust and DEXUS Office Trust (DEXUS Operations Trust and DEXUS Industrial Trust did not pay a distribution during the period). The Annual Tax Statement, issued as at 30 June 2012, will provide details of the components of DXS' distributions.

2 Review of results and operations

Financial Summary

DEXUS Property Group"s financial performance for the six months to 31 December 2011 is outlined below. To fully understand our results, please refer to the full Financial Statements in this Interim Report.

Total revenue from ordinary activities for the six months to 31 December 2011 increased by \$28.1 million to \$371.4 million (2010: \$343.3 million). The key drivers include:

  • A 5.1% increase in like-for-like property income from the Australian office portfolio.
  • Rental income commencing at recently completed developments including 123 Albert Street, Brisbane and completed developments at the Greystanes industrial estate.
  • The proceeds from the sale of inventory totalling \$21.8 million (2010: nil).
  • An appreciation in the average US dollar currency rate.

Net profit attributable to stapled security holders is \$145.7 million or 3.01 cents per security, a decrease of \$148.7 million from the prior corresponding period (2010: \$294.4 million). The key drivers are:

  • Unrealised net fair value losses on derivatives totalling \$74.6 million (2010: gain of \$53.5 million) primarily as a result of lower market interest rates.
  • Deferred tax expense of \$12.3 million (2010: \$1.2 million) associated primarily with the positive revaluation of our North American property assets.

Details of the operational result are set out on the following page.

2 Review of results and operations (continued)

Operational Result

DEXUS Property Group uses Funds from Operations (FFO1 ) which is often used as a measure of real estate operating performance after finance costs and taxes.

DEXUS Property Group"s FFO for the six months to 31 December 2011 is \$184.3 million, an increase of 3.0% on the prior corresponding period. FFO per security is 3.81 cents (31 December 2010: 3.70 cents per security). The key drivers impacting FFO are:

  • The Australian and New Zealand office portfolio"s net operating income of \$141.0 million increased by \$13.9 million (10.9%) driven by strong like-for-like growth of 5.1% and the commencement of rent following the completion of developments at 1 Bligh Street, Sydney and 123 Albert Street, Brisbane. Occupancy2 for the Australian Office portfolio remains high at 97.2% (2010: 96.5%). The retention rate at the end of the period was 73%.
  • The Australian industrial portfolio"s net operating income of \$58.4 million increased by \$1.6 million largely as a result of the completion of three developments at Greystanes during 2010 and 2011, valued at \$95.3 million. The industrial portfolio ended the period with occupancy2 at 96.1% (2010: 97.4%) and a tenant retention rate of 77%.
  • The US industrial portfolio"s net operating income of \$37.6 million decreased by \$4.0 million, predominantly as a result of translation of stable underlying portfolio income at higher exchange rates and property transactions. The internalisation of portfolio management for the central-east portfolio has contributed to strong leasing success helping to lift total US occupancy2 to 90.2% (2010: 86.4%). The retention rate at the end of the period was 50%.
  • Financing costs for distributable earnings increased by \$8.9 million primarily driven by the completion of office developments at 1 Bligh Street, Sydney, 123 Albert Street, Brisbane and our industrial portfolio developments.
  • Management business EBIT increased by \$2.0 million including \$2.7 million of industrial trading profits and one off costs.

Based on our current distribution policy of 70% of Funds from Operations, the distribution payable for the 6 months to 31 December 2011 is 2.67 cents per security (2010: 2.59 cents per security).

Set out below is a reconciliation of profit attributable to stapled security holders to FFO and how the Group"s distribution has been calculated.

Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

In accordance with AASB Interpretation 1002 Post-Date-of-Transition Stapling Arrangements, the entities within the Group must be consolidated. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of DIT, DOT and DXO is DDF. These Financial Statements represent the consolidated results of DDF, which comprises DDF and its controlled entities, DIT and its controlled entities, DOT and its controlled entities, and DXO and its controlled entities. Equity attributable to other trusts stapled to DDF is a form of non-controlling interest in accordance with AASB 1002 and represents the equity of DIT, DOT and DXO. Other non-controlling interests represent the equity attributable to parties external to the Group.

DEXUS Property Group stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange under the "DXS" code and comprise one unit in each of DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO. Each entity forming part of the Group 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.

DEXUS Funds Management Limited as Responsible Entity for DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO may only unstaple the Group if approval is obtained by a special resolution of the stapled security holders.

These general purpose interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 31 December 2011 have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

These Financial Statements do not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly these Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 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.

As at 31 December 2011, the Group had a net current asset deficiency of \$72.3 million (June 2011: \$371.6 million). These Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis as the Group has sufficient working capital and cash flow due to the existence of unutilised facilities of \$565.8 million and a \$200.0 million new facility as set out in note 9.

(b) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group"s accounting policies. Other than the estimation of fair values relating to derivatives and other financial instruments, investment properties and intangible assets, no key assumptions concerning the future or other estimation of uncertainty at the end of each reporting period have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the Financial Statements in the next reporting period.

Uncertainty around property valuations

The fair value of our investment properties in the United States and Europe have been adjusted to reflect market conditions at the end of the reporting period. While this represents the best estimates of fair value as at the end of the reporting period, the current uncertainty in these markets means that if investment property is sold in the future, the price achieved may be higher or lower than the most recent valuation, or higher or lower than the fair value recorded in the Financial Statements.

Non-current assets – investment properties (continued)

(a) Properties (continued)

Valuation basis

The basis of valuation 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. In relation to development properties under construction for future use as investment property, fair value is determined based on the market value of the property on the assumption it had already been completed at the valuation date less costs still required to complete the project, including an appropriate adjustment for profit and risk. Properties independently valued in the last 12 months were based on independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property Institute, the New Zealand Institute of Valuers, the Appraisal Institute in the United States of America, the French Real Estate Valuation Institution or the Society of Property Researchers, Germany.

  • On 6 July 2011, 6711 Valley View Street, La Palma, California was acquired for US\$18.3 million (A\$17.1 million), excluding acquisition costs.

1 Bank guarantee held in relation to an equity accounted investment (refer note 7).

DDF together with DIT, DOT and DXO is a guarantor of a total of A\$1,397.5 million and US\$223.5 million (A\$220.1 million) of bank bilateral facilities, a total of A\$340.0 million of medium term notes, a total of US\$233.0 million (A\$229.4 million) of privately placed notes, and a total of US\$550.0 million (A\$541.6 million) public 144A senior notes, which have all been negotiated to finance the Group and other entities within DXS. The guarantees have been given in support of debt outstanding and drawn against these facilities, and may be called upon in the event that a borrowing entity has not complied with certain requirements such as failure to pay interest or repay a borrowing, whichever is earlier. During the period no guarantees were called.

DDF together with DIT, DOT and DXO is also a guarantor, on a subordinated basis, of RENTS (Real-estate perpetual ExchaNgeable sTep-up Securities). The guarantee has been given in support of payments that become due and payable to the RENTS holders and ranks ahead of the Group"s distribution payments, but subordinated to the claims of the senior creditors.

The guarantees are issued in respect of the Group and do not constitute an additional liability to those already existing in interest bearing liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.

The Directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any other contingent liabilities in relation to the Group, other than those disclosed in the Financial Statements, which should be brought to the attention of security holders as at the date of completion of this report.

Events occurring after reporting date

Since the end of the period, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in their Directors' Report or the Financial Statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or state of the Group"s affairs in future financial periods.

Operating segments

(a) Description of segments

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has been identified as the Board of Directors as they are responsible for the strategic decision making within the Group. DXS management has identified the Group"s operating segments based on the sectors analysed within the management reports reviewed by the CODM in order to monitor performance across the Group and to appropriately allocate resources. Refer to the table below for a brief description of the Group"s operating segments.

Office – Australia and New Zealand This comprises office space with any associated retail space; as well as car
parks and office developments in Australia and New Zealand.
Industrial - Australia This comprises domestic industrial properties, industrial estates and industrial
developments.
Industrial - North America This comprises industrial properties, industrial estates and industrial
developments in the United States as well as one industrial asset in Canada1
Management Business The domestic and US based management businesses are responsible for asset,
property and development management of Office, Industrial and Retail
properties for the Group and the third party funds management business.
Financial Services The treasury function of the Group is managed through a centralised treasury
department. As a result, all treasury related financial information relating to
borrowings, finance costs as well as fair value movements in derivatives, are
prepared and monitored separately.
All other segments This comprises the European industrial portfolio. This operating segment does
not meet the quantitative thresholds set out in AASB 8 Operating Segments due
to its relatively small scale. As a result this non-core operating segment has
been included in "all other segments" in the operating segment information.

1 The Canadian asset was sold on 24 June 2011.

The Board assesses the performance of each operating sector based on a measure of NOI, which is determined as property revenue less attributable property expenses. The performance indicator predominantly used as a measure of the management business performance is the Management Business EBIT, which comprises management fee revenue less compensation related expenses and other management operating expenses. Both the property NOI and the management business" EBIT exclude the effects of finance costs, taxation and non-cash items, such as unrealised fair value adjustments, which are monitored by management separately.

Independent auditor's review report to the stapled security holders of DEXUS Diversified Trust

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of DEXUS Diversified Trust, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for the DEXUS Property Group (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises both DEXUS Diversified Trust (the Trust) and the entities it controlled during that half-year.

Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of DEXUS Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of DEXUS Diversified Trust, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

DEXUS Property Group stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange under the "DXS" code and comprise one unit in each of DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO. Each entity forming part of DXS 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.

DEXUS Funds Management Limited (DXFM) as Responsible Entity for DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO may only unstaple the Group if approval is obtained by a special resolution of the stapled security holders.

These general purpose interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 31 December 2011 have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

These Financial Statements do not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly these Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public pronouncements made by DXS 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) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Trust"s accounting policies. Other than the estimation of fair values relating to derivatives and other financial instruments and investment properties, no key assumptions concerning the future or other estimation of uncertainty at the end of each reporting period have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the Financial Statements in the next reporting period.

Uncertainty around property valuations

The fair value of our investment properties in the United States and Europe have been adjusted to reflect market conditions at the end of the reporting period. While this represents the best estimates of fair value as at the end of the reporting period, the current uncertainty in these markets means that if investment property is sold in the future, the price achieved may be higher or lower than the most recent valuation, or higher or lower than the fair value recorded in the Financial Statements.

Capital contribution

In December 2011, DXS implemented the Capital Reallocation Proposal approved by security holders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting held on 31 October 2011. Under the Capital Reallocation Proposal, DOT and DDF made capital payments to security holders of 3.616 cents for each DOT and DDF unit which was then compulsorily applied as a capital contribution to DIT and DXO units. Security holders did not receive any cash as part of the Capital Reallocation Proposal.

Contingent liabilities

The Trust together with DDF, DXO and DOT is a guarantor of a total of A\$1,397.5 million and US\$223.5 million (A\$220.1 million) of bank bilateral facilities, a total of A\$340.0 million of medium term notes, a total of US\$233.0 million (A\$229.4 million) of privately placed notes, and a total of US\$550.0 million (A\$541.6 million) public 144A senior notes, which have all been negotiated to finance the Trust and other entities within DXS.

The guarantees have been given in support of debt outstanding and drawn against these facilities, and may be called upon in the event that a borrowing entity has not complied with certain requirements such as failure to pay interest or repay a borrowing, whichever is earlier. During the period no guarantees were called.

The Trust together with DDF, DOT and DXO is also a guarantor, on a subordinated basis, of RENTS (Real-estate perpetual ExchaNgeable sTep-up Securities). The guarantee has been given in support of payments that become due and payable to the RENTS holders and ranks ahead of the DXS"s distribution payments, but subordinated to the claims of the senior creditors.

The guarantees are issued in respect of the Trust and do not constitute an additional liability to those already existing in interest bearing liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.

The Directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any other contingent liabilities in relation to the Trust, other than those disclosed in the Financial Statements, which should be brought to the attention of unitholders as at the date of completion of this report.

Note 11

Events occurring after reporting date

Since the end of the period, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in their Directors' Report or the Financial Statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the Trust, the results of those operations, or state of the Trust"s affairs in future financial periods.

Operating segments

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has been identified as the Board of Directors as they are responsible for the strategic decision making within the Group. DXS management has identified DXS"s operating segments based on the sectors analysed within the management reports reviewed by the CODM in order to monitor performance across DXS and to appropriately allocate resources. Refer to the table below for a brief description of DXS"s operating segments.

Office – Australia and New Zealand This comprises office space with any associated retail space; as well as car-parks
and office developments in Australia and New Zealand.
Industrial – Australia This comprises domestic industrial properties, industrial estates and industrial
developments.
Industrial - North America This comprises industrial properties, industrial estates and industrial
developments in the United States as well as one industrial asset in Canada1
Management Business The domestic and US based management businesses are responsible for asset,
property and development management of Office, Industrial and Retail
properties for DXS and the third party funds management business.
Financial Services The treasury function of DXS is managed through a centralised treasury
department. As a result, all treasury related financial information relating to
borrowings, finance costs as well as fair value movements in derivatives, are
prepared and monitored separately.
All other segments This comprises the European industrial portfolio. This operating segment does
not meet the quantitative thresholds set out in AASB 8 Operating Segments due to
its relatively small scale. As a result this non-core operating segment has been
included in "all other segments" in the operating segment information.

1The Canadian asset was sold on 24 June 2011.

Consistent with how the CODM manages the business, the operating segments within DXS are reviewed on a consolidated basis and are not monitored at an individual trust level. The results of the individual trusts are not limited to any one of the segments described above.

Disclosures concerning DXS"s operating segments, as well as the operating segments" key financial information provided to the CODM, are presented in the DEXUS Property Group Financial Statements.

Independent auditor's review report to the unitholders of DEXUS Industrial Trust

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of DEXUS Industrial Trust, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for the DEXUS Industrial Trust Group (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises both DEXUS Industrial Trust (the Trust) and the entities it controlled during that half-year.

Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of DEXUS Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of DEXUS Industrial Trust, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

DEXUS Property Group stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange under the "DXS" code and comprise one unit in each of DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO. Each entity forming part of DXS 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 the Australian Accounting Standards.

DEXUS Funds Management Limited (DXFM) as Responsible Entity for DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO may only unstaple the Group if approval is obtained by a special resolution of the stapled security holders.

These general purpose interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 31 December 2011 have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

These Financial Statements do not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly these Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public pronouncements made by DXS 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 previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

As at 31 December 2011, the Trust had a net current asset deficiency of \$147.7 million (June 2011: \$393.0 million). The DXS group has in place both external and internal funding arrangements to support the cashflow requirements of the Trust. The Trust is a going concern and the Financial Statements have been prepared on that basis.

(b) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Trust's accounting policies. Other than the estimation of fair values relating to certain derivatives and other financial instruments and investment properties, no key assumptions concerning the future or other estimation of uncertainty at the end of each reporting period have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the Financial Statements in the next reporting period.

The average capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is 7.99% (2010: 7.83%).

Capital payment

In December 2011, DXS implemented the Capital Reallocation Proposal approved by security holders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting held on 31 October 2011. Under the Capital Reallocation Proposal, DOT and DDF made capital payments to security holders of 3.616 cents for each DOT and DDF unit which was then compulsorily applied as a capital contribution to DIT and DXO units. Security holders did not receive any cash as part of the Capital Reallocation Proposal.

The Trust together with DDF, DIT and DXO is a guarantor of a total of A\$1,397.5 million and US\$223.5 million (A\$220.1 million) of bank bilateral facilities, a total of A\$340.0 million of medium term notes, a total of US\$233.0 million (A\$229.4 million) of privately placed notes, and a total of US\$550.0 million (A\$541.6million) public 144A senior notes, which have all been negotiated to finance the Trust and other entities within DXS. The guarantees have been given in support of debt outstanding and drawn against these facilities, and may be called upon in the event that a borrowing entity has not complied with certain requirements such as failure to pay interest or repay a borrowing, whichever is earlier. During the period no guarantees were called.

The Trust together with DDF, DIT and DXO is also a guarantor, on a subordinated basis, of RENTS (Real-estate perpetual ExchaNgeable sTep-up Securities). The guarantee has been given in support of payments that become due and payable to the RENTS holders and ranks ahead of DXS's distribution payments, but subordinated to the claims of senior creditors.

The guarantees are issued in respect of the Trust and do not constitute an additional liability to those already existing in interest bearing liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.

The Directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any other contingent liabilities in relation to the Trust, other than those disclosed in the Financial Statements, which should be brought to the attention of unitholders as at the date of completion of this report.

Note 10

Events occurring after reporting date

Since the end of the period, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in their Directors' Report or the Financial Statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the Trust, the results of those operations, or state of the Trust's affairs in future financial periods.

Operating segments

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has been identified as the Board of Directors as they are responsible for the strategic decision making within the Group. DXS management has identified DXS's operating segments based on the sectors analysed within the management reports reviewed by the CODM in order to monitor performance across DXS and to appropriately allocate resources. Refer to the table below for a brief description of DXS's operating segments.

Office – Australia and New Zealand This comprises office space with any associated retail space; as well as car
parks and office developments in Australia and New Zealand.
Industrial – Australia This comprises domestic industrial properties, industrial estates and industrial
developments.
Industrial - North America This comprises industrial properties, industrial estates and industrial
developments in the United States as well as one industrial asset in Canada1
Management Business The domestic and US based management businesses are responsible for asset,
property and development management of Office, Industrial and Retail
properties for DXS and the third party funds management business.
Financial Services The treasury function of DXS is managed through a centralised treasury
department. As a result, all treasury related financial information relating to
borrowings, finance costs as well as fair value movements in derivatives, are
prepared and monitored separately.
All other segments This comprises the European industrial portfolio. This operating segment does
not meet the quantitative thresholds set out in AASB 8 Operating Segments due
to its relatively small scale. As a result this non-core operating segment has
been included in 'all other segments' in the operating segment information.

1 The Canadian asset was sold on 24 June 2011.

Consistent with how the CODM manages the business, the operating segments within DXS are reviewed on a consolidated basis and are not monitored at an individual trust level. The results of the individual trusts are not limited to any one of the segments described above.

Disclosures concerning DXS's operating segments as well as the operating segments' key financial information provided to the CODM are presented in the DEXUS Property Group Financial Statements.

Independent auditor's review report to the unitholders of DEXUS Office Trust

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of DEXUS Office Trust, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for the DEXUS Office Trust Group (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises both DEXUS Office Trust (the Trust) and the entities it controlled during that half-year.

Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of DEXUS Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of DEXUS Office Trust, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

DEXUS Property Group stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange under the "DXS" code and comprise one unit in each of DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO. Each entity forming part of DXS continues as a separate legal entity in its own right under the Corporations Act 2001 and is therefore required to comply with reporting and disclosure requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards.

DEXUS Funds Management Limited as Responsible Entity for DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO may only unstaple the Group if approval is obtained by a special resolution of the stapled security holders.

These general purpose interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 31 December 2011 have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

These Financial Statements do not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly these Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public pronouncements made by DXS 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 previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

(b) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Trust's accounting policies. Other than the estimation of fair values relating to certain derivatives and other financial instruments, investment properties and intangible assets, no key assumptions concerning the future or other estimation of uncertainty at the end of each reporting period have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the Financial Statements in the next reporting period.

Management rights represent the asset management rights owned by DEXUS Holdings Pty Limited (DXH), a whollyowned subsidiary of the Trust, which entitle it to management fee revenue from both finite life trusts and indefinite life trusts. Those rights that are deemed to have a finite useful life (held at a value of \$7,556,350) are measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 21 years. Management rights that are deemed to have an indefinite life are held at a value of \$214,584,150.

As at 31 December 2011, management had not identified any events or circumstances that would indicate an impairment of the carrying value of management rights associated with indefinite life trusts.

Contingent liabilities

The Trust together with DDF, DIT and DOT is a guarantor of a total of A\$1,397.5 million and US\$223.5 million (A\$220.1 million) of bank bilateral facilities, a total of A\$340.0 million of medium term notes, a total of US\$233.0 million (A\$229.4 million) of privately placed notes, and a total of US\$550.0 million (A\$541.6 million) public 144A senior notes, which have all been negotiated to finance the Trust and other entities within DXS. The guarantees have been given in support of debt outstanding and drawn against these facilities, and may be called upon in the event that a borrowing entity has not complied with certain requirements such as failure to pay interest or repay a borrowing, whichever is earlier. During the period no guarantees were called.

The Trust together with DIT, DOT and DDF is also a guarantor, on a subordinated basis, of RENTS (Real-estate perpetual ExchaNgable sTep-up Securities). The guarantee has been given in support of payments that become due and payable to the RENTS holders and ranks ahead of DXS's distribution payments, but subordinated to the claims of senior creditors.

The guarantees are issued in respect of the Trust and do not constitute an additional liability to those already existing in interest bearing liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.

The Directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any other contingent liabilities in relation to the Trust, other than those disclosed in the Financial Statements, which should be brought to the attention of unitholders as at the day of completion of this report.

Events occurring after the reporting date

Since the end of the period, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in their Directors' Report or the Financial Statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the Trust, the results of those operations, or state of the Trust's affairs in future financial periods.

Note 12

Operating segments

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has been identified as the Board of Directors as they are responsible for the strategic decision making within the Group. DXS management has identified DXS's operating segments based on the sectors analysed within the management reports reviewed by the CODM in order to monitor performance across the Group and to appropriately allocate resources. Refer to the table below for a brief description of the Group's operating segments.

Office – Australia and New Zealand This operating segment comprises office space with any associated retail space;
as well as car-parks and office developments in Australia and New Zealand.
Industrial – Australia This operating segment comprises domestic industrial properties, industrial
estates and industrial developments.
Industrial - North America This comprises industrial properties, industrial estates and industrial
developments in the United States as well as one industrial asset in Canada1
Management Business The domestic and US based management businesses are responsible for asset,
property and development management of Office, Industrial and Retail
properties for DXS and the third party funds management business.
Financial Services The treasury function of DXS is managed through a centralised treasury
department. As a result, all treasury related financial information relating to
borrowings, finance costs as well as fair value movements in derivatives, are
prepared and monitored separately.
All other segments This comprises the European industrial portfolio. This operating segment does
not meet the quantitative thresholds set out in AASB 8 Operating Segments due to
its relatively small scale. As a result this non-core operating segment has been
included in 'all other segments' in the operating segment information.

1 The Canadian asset was sold on 24 June 2011.

Consistent with how the CODM manages the business, the operating segments within DXS are reviewed on a consolidated basis and are not monitored at an individual trust level. The results of the individual trusts are not limited to any one of the segments described above.

Disclosures concerning DXS's operating segments as well as the operating segments' key financial information provided to the CODM are presented in the DEXUS Property Group Financial Statements.

Independent auditor's review report to the unitholders of DEXUS Operations Trust

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of DEXUS Operations Trust, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for the DEXUS Operations Trust Group (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises both DEXUS Operations Trust (the Trust) and the entities it controlled during that half-year.

Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of DEXUS Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of DEXUS Operations Trust, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
