  1. On 1 July 2014, the Group adopted the Property Council of Australia definition of FFO. Comparative information has been adjusted to reflect this change. The Directors consider FFO to be a measure that reflects the underlying performance of the Group. FFO comprises net profit/loss after tax attributable to stapled security holders calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and adjusted for: property revaluations, impairments, derivative and FX mark-to-market impacts, fair value movements of interest bearing liabilities, amortisation of tenant incentives, gain/loss on sale of certain assets, straight line rent adjustments, deferred tax expense/benefit, rental guarantees, coupon income and distribution income net of funding costs.

  2. On 29 October 2014, the Group announced a one-for-six consolidation of DEXUS Property Group stapled securities. The consolidation was completed on 14 November 2014. Where the number of securities held by a security holder following the consolidation resulted in a fraction of a security, the fraction was rounded up to the nearest whole number.

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

    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.
    1. The distribution for the period 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2014 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 2015, will provide details of the components of DXS's distributions.

2 Review of results and operations

The Group's financial performance for the six months to 31 December 2014 is summarised below. To fully understand the results, please refer to the full Financial Statements included in this Financial Report.

A focus on driving portfolio performance and income generation for both security holders and third party clients contributed to a solid financial result. DEXUS delivered a net profit after tax of \$257.8 million and achieved Funds from Operations1 (FFO) per security growth2 of 7.4%, to 28.54 cents. Distributions per security2 grew by 6.8% to 19.68 cents.

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, net profit includes a number of non-cash adjustments including fair value movements in asset and liability values. FFO is a global financial measure of real estate operating performance after finance costs and taxes, and is adjusted for certain non-cash items.

The Directors consider FFO to be a measure that reflects the underlying performance of the Group. The following table reconciles between profit attributable to stapled security holders, FFO and distributions paid to stapled security holders.

1 FFO is in line with the Property Council of Australia definition and comprises net profit/loss after tax attributable to stapled security holders calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and adjusted for: property revaluations, impairments, derivative and FX mark to market impacts, fair value movements of interest bearing liabilities, amortisation of tenant incentives, gain/loss on sale of certain assets, straight line rent adjustments, deferred tax expense/benefit, rental guarantees, coupon income and distribution income net of funding costs.

2 All HY14 per security figures in this report are restated to reflect the one-for-six security consolidation completed on 14 November 2014.

Net profit after tax was \$257.8 million or 28.47 cents per security, a decrease of \$19.4 million from the previous corresponding period (HY14: \$277.2 million). The key drivers of this movement included:

  • Net fair value losses of \$51.8 million as a result of mark to market losses on derivatives and interest bearing liabilities, primarily to account for lower market interest rates, were \$57.6 million higher than the corresponding period (HY14: gain of \$5.8 million), partially offset by:
  • Core operational earnings, or FFO, increased by \$52.4 million.
  • Net revaluation gains of investment properties of \$109.3 million, representing a 1.2% uplift across the portfolio, were \$2.7 million higher than the prior corresponding period gains.

Revaluation gains achieved in our office portfolio primarily drove an 11 cent increase in NTA per security to \$6.47, reflecting the contribution of leasing success on capital values and capitalisation rate compression at properties with strong tenant covenants.

3 Including DEXUS's share of equity accounted investments.

4 Including cash, rent free and fit out incentives amortisation.

5 DEXUS's distribution policy is to distribute free cash flow. The payout ratio equated to 69% of FFO in HY15 and HY14.

The following table provides a summary of the key components of FFO based on the information provided in note 13 included in this Financial Report.

31 Dec 2014 31 Dec 2013
\$m \$m
Office Property FFO 262.8 201.7
Industrial Property FFO 52.0 61.5
Total Property FFO 314.8 263.2
Management operations 19.2 12.7
Development and trading 18.3 (0.3)
Group corporate (14.8) (12.9)
Finance costs (78.6) (61.3)
Other (0.5) 4.6
Total FFO6 258.4 206.0
Maintenance capex, lease incentives and leasing costs paid (69.7) (55.9)
Total AFFO6 188.7 150.1

Operationally, FFO increased 25.4% to \$258.4 million (HY14: \$206.0 million).

The key drivers of the \$52.4 million increase included:

  • Office Property FFO increased by \$61.1 million to \$262.8 million, driven by additional property income from DEXUS Office Trust Australia (DEXUS Office Partnership). This was partially offset by a \$9.5 million reduction in Industrial Property FFO to \$52.0 million as a result of divestments and lower occupancy at Auburn, Gladesville and Rosebery
  • Management operations income increased by \$6.5 million to \$19.2 million, driven by the DEXUS Office Partnership and growth in other third party Funds Under Management (FUM)
  • Development and trading income increased by \$18.6 million to \$18.3 million after tax, predominantly as a result of \$18.1 million of trading profits net of tax being realised in the period
  • Group corporate costs increased by \$1.9 million despite the significant increase in revenues and FUM, demonstrating the scalability of DEXUS's business
  • Finance costs net of interest revenue increased by \$17.3 million to \$78.6 million, due to an increase in debt to fund the CPA transaction, partially offset by lower interest costs.

On a per security basis, FFO increased 7.4% to 28.54 cents. The per security result takes into account the scrip issued in April 2014 as part of the CPA transaction, explaining the difference in growth rates between the aggregate total dollar value of FFO and FFO per security.

Distributions per security for the six months to 31 December 2014 were 19.68 cents per security, up 6.8% on the previous corresponding period (HY14: 18.42 cents). The distribution payout for the six months to 31 December 2014 was in line with free cash flow, in accordance with DEXUS's distribution policy.

6 FFO and AFFO are in line with the Property Council of Australia definitions.

Valuations

Recent leasing success, the weight of capital seeking quality Australian office property and strong tenant covenants all contributed to a \$105.8 million or 1.4% increase in valuations on prior book values across the office portfolio. The weighted average capitalisation rate for the DEXUS office portfolio tightened eight basis points from 6.87%7 at 30 June 2014 to 6.79% at 31 December 2014. A 3.8% increase in valuations on prior book values was achieved across the DEXUS Office Partnership properties.

The limited supply of prime quality facilities aligned to key transport corridors combined with less speculative development in core precincts contributed to a 25 basis point tightening of capitalisation rates in the DEXUS industrial portfolio from 8.32% at 30 June 2014 to 8.07% at 31 December 2014, resulting in a marginal uplift in valuations of \$3.5 million or 0.2% increase on prior book values.

Third Party Funds Management

The third party funds management business continued to deliver on the investment objectives of its clients and is set up for strong organic growth with a committed development pipeline of \$2.2 billion over the next few years.

Third party funds under management increased by 6.3% compared to 30 June 2014 through a number of transactions including the acquisition of three sub-regional shopping centres for DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund (DWPF) and a further three properties for DEXUS Industrial Trust Australia (DEXUS Industrial Partnership).

The potential end value (on completion of development projects) of the DEXUS Industrial Partnership, established in June 2014, increased to \$360 million following the acquisition of three industrial properties. The partnership exchanged contracts to acquire 112 Cullen Avenue, Eagle Farm in Queensland in in late December 2014. This strategically located property introduces the first income producing asset to the partnership's portfolio and follows the acquisition of two development sites in Queensland over the period.

In DWPF, four development projects were approved in the period, boosting activity and increasing the number of committed projects underway to eight. These developments provide an opportunity to improve the quality of DWPF's property portfolio.

Capital management

  • Cost of debt 5.2%
  • Duration of debt 5.9 years
  • Gearing (look through)8 32.0%
  • S&P/Moody's credit rating: A-/A3

DEXUS maintained the strength of its balance sheet with gearing8 at 32.0%, securing new debt at competitive margins and extending the duration of its debt to 5.9 years. DEXUS has minimal short term refinancing requirements and will continue to take advantage of its improved credit ratings to secure new debt funding.

DEXUS implemented a one-for-six security consolidation which has reduced the total number of securities on issue.

DEXUS remains within all of its debt covenant limits and target ranges.

On market securities buy-back

On 14 October 2014, as a result of share market volatility, DEXUS announced a new on-market securities buy-back of up to 5% of DEXUS securities on issue, which is yet to be utilised. The buy-back provides the flexibility for DEXUS to acquire securities on market should conditions permit, with a focus on enhancing returns for investors.

8 Adjusted for cash and for debt in equity accounted investments. Pro-forma gearing is 33.0% post the acquisition of Lakes Business Park, Botany which settled on 16 January 2015.

Office portfolio

Portfolio value: \$7.6 billion
Area leased during the period: 102,593 square metres9
Like-for-like income growth 0.0%
Occupancy by income 95.0%
Weighted average lease expiry by income 4.4 years

Positive momentum in office leasing enquiry in Sydney and Melbourne resulted in increased activity in the DEXUS office portfolio. A broader improvement in tenant demand for well-located, quality office space in these markets is supporting more leasing and increased occupancy to 95%.

Average incentives have reduced from June 2014, supporting the strategy to hold or pull back on incentives in those properties that have good momentum and high occupancy.

The leasing enquiry and activity from corporates in the financial services sector continues, with many having briefs in the market, which is expected to translate into additional leasing and a further improvement in net absorption in the Sydney market.

A key highlight for the period was securing Challenger as a tenant at the development project underway at 5 Martin Place, Sydney, which has increased the office space committed to 72%.

Office FFO increased by \$61.1 million to \$262.8 million underpinned by the additional income from the DEXUS Office Partnership properties. Office like-for-like income growth was flat.

During the period, DEXUS leased 102,593 square metres9 across 131 transactions on average lease terms of 5.2 years. Office portfolio occupancy by income improved from 94.6% at 30 June 2014 to 95.0%, and importantly DEXUS's FY15 office lease expiry risk reduced from 8.2% to 2.7%. Portfolio weighted average lease expiry (WALE) was 4.4 years and tenant retention was maintained at 61%. New rents increased by 0.7% on average compared with prior rents, with average incentives across all office leasing reducing from 18.6% at 30 June 2014 to 16.1%.

The DEXUS Office Partnership properties acquired in April 2014 have also performed well and are on track to deliver a total return10 of 12% for the 12 months ending 31 March 2015. Key achievements since acquisition include: 73,710 square metres of space leased; occupancy increasing from 92.2% 11 to 94.6%; property values increasing by \$125.3 million12; and the DEXUS Office Partnership portfolio weighted average capitalisation rate tightening from circa 7.24% 13 to 7.06%.

During the period, DEXUS settled on a number of property divestments including Lumley Centre, Auckland, sold for NZ\$146 million, 201 Kent Street, Sydney, sold for \$173 million12, and 50 Carrington Street, Sydney, sold for \$88 million. Sale proceeds were used to repay debt.

Operations (continued)

Industrial portfolio

Portfolio value: \$1.5 billion
Area leased during the period: 97,968 square metres9
Like-for-like income growth 0.0%
Occupancy by income 92.8%
Weighted average lease expiry by income 4.0 years

Increased demand from third party logistics service providers supporting general merchandise retail has driven leasing activity across DEXUS's industrial portfolio.

During the period, DEXUS leased 97,968 square metres9 of industrial space across 43 transactions.

Industrial portfolio occupancy by income reduced marginally from 93.0% at 30 June 2014 to 92.8% primarily due to the departure of QLS at Pound Road West, Dandenong and Salmat at 2-4 Military Road, Matraville.

Portfolio WALE remained steady at 4.0 years and tenant retention increased to 52%. New rents reduced 4.2% on average compared with prior rents, with average incentives across all industrial leasing reducing from 11.0% at 30 June 2014 to 9.6%.

The acquisition of Lakes Business Park, Botany, for \$153.5 million which comprises a northern site of 48,946 square metres and southern site of 29,769 square metres was announced in December 2014 and settled on 16 January 2015. DEXUS's intention is to utilise its industrial capabilities to actively manage the northern site which comprises 40 tenants and has a WALE of 3.7 years and is located adjacent to DWPF's Sir Joseph Banks Corporate Park, as well as progress works on the potential for residential rezoning for the southern site in the medium term.

Development

DEXUS progressed the Group's \$3.5 billion development pipeline in the period which includes \$1.3 billion in the DEXUS portfolio allocated to high quality industrial and office developments, trading and repositioning opportunities and development fund-through investments.

Construction works were progressed with key milestones being reached at 5 Martin Place, Sydney14 and at both of DEXUS and DWPF's fund-through developments at 480 Queen Street, Brisbane and Kings Square, Perth.

At Quarrywest in Greystanes, Boral is ahead of schedule on the landform works to deliver serviced and benched land to enable the development to commence in mid-2015. Planning approval and concept design processes, as well as pre-lease marketing, have now commenced.

Trading

During the period trading profits of \$18.1 million15 net of tax were generated through the sale of 30 Distribution Drive, Laverton North and 50 Carrington Street, Sydney. DEXUS also contracted on the sale of 40 Market Street, Melbourne and Rothschild Avenue and Rosebery Avenue, Rosebery which will contribute to the FY15 trading profit forecast of approximately \$40 million. The initial payment for Rosebery, net of tax, contributes to trading profits in both the first and second half of FY15.

Capital works, as part of the new 15 year lease renewal secured with Powercor at 40 Market Street, Melbourne are progressing on plan to achieve a practical completion later in FY15. The property is expected to settle ten days post practical completion of the works.

14 5 Martin Place, Sydney is co-owned by DEXUS Office Partnership (50%) and Cbus Property (50%).

15 Trading profits generated less FFO tax expense recognised for Rosebery in the period.

Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, 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 and represents the equity of DIT, DOT and DXO. The amount of non-controlling interest attributable to stapled security holders is disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position. DDF is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing Financial Statements.

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 (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 interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 31 December 2014 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 2014 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.

The Group has unutilised facilities of \$645.0 million (June 2014: \$462.3 million) (refer note 7) and sufficient working capital and cash flows in order to fund all requirements arising from the net current asset deficiency of \$72.8 million (June 2014: \$99.1 million).

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, taxation, inventories, investment properties, intangible assets and security-based payments, no key assumptions concerning the future or other estimation of uncertainty at the end of each reporting period could 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, a wholly owned subsidiary of DXO, 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 \$4.9 million (June 2014: \$5.1 million)) are measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated remaining useful lives of 18 years. Management rights that are deemed to have an indefinite life are held at a value of \$286.0 million (June 2014: \$286.0 million).

As at 31 December 2014, management had not identified any events or circumstances that would indicate an impairment of the carrying amount of management rights associated with indefinite life trusts.

1 Carrying value is equal to the value of the financial instruments on the Statement of Financial Position.

2Fair value is the price that would be received to transfer the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where there is a difference between the carrying amount and fair value, the difference is not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

The fair value of interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments has been determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using observable market inputs (interest rates, exchange rates, and basis) and applying a credit or debit value adjustment based on the current credit worthiness of counterparties and the Group.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The Group uses methods in the determination and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. These methods comprise:

Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2: the fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable data.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities measured and recognised as at fair value at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2014.

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 (the Trust), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, 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 DEXUS Diversified Trust (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises 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 internal 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 Australian Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a 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 2014 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of DEXUS Diversified Trust is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date;
  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Summary of significant accounting policies

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 interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 31 December 2014 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 2014 and any public pronouncements made by DXS during the half year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The Trust is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing Financial Statements.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

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 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 could have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the Financial Statements in the next reporting period.

Fair value of financial instruments

As at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2014, the carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets and liabilities are shown as follows:

1 Carrying value is equal to the value of the financial instruments on the Statement of Financial Position.

2 Fair value is the price that would be received to transfer the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where there is a difference between the carrying amount and fair value, the difference is not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The fair value of interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments has been determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using observable market inputs (interest rates, exchange rates, and basis) and applying a credit or debit value adjustment based on the current credit worthiness of counterparties and the Trust.

The Trust uses methods in the determination and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. These methods comprise:

Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2: the fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable data.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities measured and recognised as at fair value at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2014.

During the year, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements.

Contingent liabilities

The Trust together with DDF, DXO and DOT is a guarantor of a A\$1,250.0 million of bank bilateral facilities, A\$570.0 million of syndicated bank debt facilities, A\$415.0 million of medium term notes, a total of US\$802.0 million (A\$978.0 million) of privately placed notes, and a total of US\$250.0 million (A\$304.1 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 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 9

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.

Note 10

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 the 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 This comprises office space with any associated retail space; as well as car
parks and office developments in Australia and New Zealand.
Industrial This comprises domestic industrial properties, industrial estates and
industrial developments.
Property management This comprises property management services for third party clients and
owned assets.
Development and trading This comprises revenue earned and costs incurred by the Group on
developments and inventory.
Funds management This comprises funds management of third party client assets.
All other segments This comprises corporate expenses associated with maintaining and
operating the Group. This segment also includes the treasury function of
the Group which is managed through a centralised treasury department.

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 (the Trust), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, 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 DEXUS Industrial Trust (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises 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 internal 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 Australian Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a 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 2014 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of DEXUS Industrial Trust is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date;
  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 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 2014 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 2014 and any public pronouncements made by DXS during the half year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The Trust is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing Financial Statements.

As at 31 December 2014, the Trust had a net current asset deficiency of \$185.1 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.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

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 could have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the Financial Statements in the next reporting period.

2 Grosvenor Place Holding Trust owns 50% of Grosvenor Place, 225 George Street, Sydney, NSW. The Group's economic interest in this property is therefore 37.5%

The above entities were formed in Australia and their principal activity is office property investment.

1 Carrying value is equal to the value of the financial instruments in the Statement of Financial Position.

2 Fair value is the price that would be received to transfer the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where there is a difference between the carrying amount and fair value, the difference is not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

The fair value of interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments has been determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using observable market inputs (interest rates, exchange rates, and basis) and applying a credit or debit value adjustment based on the current credit worthiness of counterparties and the Trust.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The Trust uses methods in the determination and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. These methods comprise:

Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2: the fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable data.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities measured and recognised as at fair value at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2014.

During the period, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements.

Contingent liabilities

The Trust together with DDF, DIT and DXO is also a guarantor of a total of A\$1,250.0 million of bank bilateral facilities, A\$570.0 million of syndicated bank debt facilities, A\$415.0 million of medium term notes, a total of US\$802.0 million (A\$978.0 million) of privately placed notes, and a total of US\$250.0 million (A\$304.1 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 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 the Group and to appropriately allocate resources. Refer to the table below for a brief description of the Group's operating segments.

Office This comprises office space with any associated retail space; as well as
car parks and office developments in Australia and New Zealand.
Industrial This comprises domestic industrial properties, industrial estates and
industrial developments.
Property management This comprises property management services for third party clients and
owned assets.
Development and trading This comprises revenue earned and costs incurred by the Group on
developments and inventory.
Funds management This comprises funds management of third party client assets.
All other segments This comprises corporate expenses associated with maintaining and
operating the Group. This segment also includes the treasury function of
the Group which is managed through a centralised treasury department.

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 (the Trust), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, 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 DEXUS Office Trust (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises 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 internal 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 Australian Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a 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 2014 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.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, ABN 52 780 433 757 Darling Park Tower 2, 201 Sussex Street, GPO BOX 2650, SYDNEY NSW 1171 T: +61 2 8266 0000, F: +61 2 8266 9999, www.pwc.com.au

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of DEXUS Office Trust is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date;
  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 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 (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 interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 31 December 2014 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 2014 and any public pronouncements made by DXS during the half year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The Trust is a for-profit entity for the purpose of reporting financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

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 certain derivatives and other financial instruments, investment properties, intangible assets and security-based payments, 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 wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust, which entitle it to management fee revenue from both finite and indefinite life trusts. Those rights that are deemed to have a finite useful life (held at a value of \$4,889,975 (Jun 2014: \$5,054,806)) are measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated remaining useful lives of 18 years. Management rights that are deemed to have an indefinite life are held at a value of \$286,022,841 (Jun 2014: \$286,022,841).

As at 31 December 2014, 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.

1 Carrying value is equal to the value of the financial instruments on the Statement of Financial Position.

2 Fair value is the price that would be received to transfer the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where there is a difference between the carrying amount and fair value, the difference is not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

The fair value of interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments has been determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using observable market inputs (interest rates, exchange rates, and basis) and applying a credit or debit value adjustment based on the current credit worthiness of counterparties and the Trust.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The Trust uses methods in the determination and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. These methods comprise:

Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2: the fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable data.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities measured and recognised as at fair value at 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2014.

Note 11 Contingent liabilities

Details and estimates of maximum amounts of contingent liabilities are as follows:

\$'000 \$'000
Bank guarantees by the Trust in respect of variations and other financial
risks associated with the development of:

Quarry, Greystanes NSW 413 413
Contingent liabilities in respect of developments 652 945

The Trust together with DDF, DIT and DOT is also a guarantor of a total of A\$1,250.0 million of bank bilateral facilities, A\$570.0 million of syndicated bank debt facilities, A\$415.0 million of medium term notes, US\$802.0 million (A\$978.0 million) of privately placed notes and US\$250.0 million (A\$304.1 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 has bank guarantees of \$20.2 million held on behalf of DEXUS Funds Management Limited, DEXUS Wholesale Property Limited and DEXUS Wholesale Management Limited to comply with the terms of their Australian Financial Services Licences (AFSL).

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.

Note 12

Events occurring after reporting date

On 16 January 2015, settlement occurred on the acquisition of Lakes Business Park, 2-13 Lord Street, Botany, for \$153.5 million excluding acquisition costs.

Since the end of the half year, other than the matters disclosed above, 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 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 This comprises office space with any associated retail space; as well as car
parks and office developments in Australia and New Zealand.
Industrial This comprises domestic industrial properties, industrial estates and industrial
developments.
Property management This comprises property management services for third party clients and owned
assets.
Development and trading This comprises revenue earned and costs incurred by the Group on
developments and inventory.
Funds management This comprises funds management of third party client assets.
All other segments This comprises corporate expenses associated with maintaining and operating
the Group. This segment also includes the treasury function of the Group which
is managed through a centralised treasury department.

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 (the Trust), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, 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 DEXUS Operations Trust (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises 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 internal 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 Australian Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a 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 2014 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of DEXUS Operations Trust is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date;
  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
