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.
- 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.
- 2 The Directors consider the Property Council of Australia definition of AFFO and FFO to be measures that reflect 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, transaction costs, amortisation of intangible assets, rental guarantees and coupon income.
- 3 Underlying FFO excludes trading profits (net of tax).
- 4 The distribution for the period 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2018 is the aggregate of the distributions from Dexus Diversified Trust, Dexus Office Trust, Dexus Operations Trust and Dexus Industrial Trust. The Attribution Management Investment Trust Annual Member Statement will provide details of the components of DXS's distributions.

HY19 Operating and Financial Review
The Group's financial performance for the six months ended 31 December 2018 is summarised in the following section. In order to fully understand the results, the interim Financial Statements included in this Interim Report should be referred to.
Review of Operations
Dexus has adopted Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) as its primary earnings measure which has been defined in accordance with the guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia (PCA) for its reporting with effect from 1 July 2014, including the recent PCA publication effective from 1 July 2018.
In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, net profit includes a number of non-cash items including fair value movements in asset and liability values. AFFO is a financial measure of real estate operating performance and is determined by adjusting net profit after finance costs and taxes for certain items which are non-cash, unrealised or capital in nature and deducting the cost of maintenance capex and leasing incentives (including rent free income).
The Directors consider AFFO to be a measure that reflects the performance of the Group and returns to Security holders.
The following table reconciles between profit attributable to stapled security holders, AFFO and distributions paid to Security holders.

Operating result
Group
Dexus's net profit after tax was \$726.4 million or 71.4 cents per security, a decrease of \$270.7 million from the previous corresponding period (HY18: \$997.1 million). The key drivers of this movement included:
- Net revaluation gains of investment properties of \$456.5 million, representing a 3.4% uplift across the total portfolio, were \$273.7 million lower than the HY18 gains.
- The above impact was partially offset by a \$20.4 million increase in trading profits (net of tax) to \$34.7 million and an \$8.4 million increase in Total Property FFO to \$372.4 million compared to the previous corresponding period
At 31 December 2018, 107 of Dexus's 111 office and industrial assets were externally valued, including 45 office properties and 62 industrial properties. Valuation gains across the total property portfolio since 30 June 2018, were the primary driver of a 43 cent increase in NTA per security to \$10.07 at 31 December 2018.
Most of the valuation uplift across the office portfolio was due to further capitalisation rate compression and increasing market rents, particularly in Sydney. Revaluation increases across the industrial portfolio were driven by continued tightening in capitalisation rates at properties across the key Eastern seaboard markets.
The following table provides a summary of the key components of AFFO based on the information provided in the Group Performance and Property Portfolio assets sections included in this Financial Report.
| 31 December 2018 | 31 December 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| \$m | \$m | |
| Office Property FFO | 303.8 | 299.4 |
| Industrial Property FFO | 68.6 | 64.6 |
| Total Property FFO | 372.4 | 364.0 |
| Management operations3 | 27.5 | 25.1 |
| Group corporate | (14.2) | (13.6) |
| Net finance costs | (63.2) | (63.3) |
| Other (including tax)4 | (3.9) | (4.7) |
| Underlying FFO | 318.6 | 307.5 |
| Trading profits (net of tax) | 34.7 | 14.3 |
| Total FFO | 353.3 | 321.8 |
| Maintenance capex, lease incentives and leasing costs paid | (71.3) | (75.5) |
| Total AFFO | 282.0 | 246.3 |
Operationally, AFFO increased 14.5% to \$282.0 million (HY18: \$246.3 million)
The key drivers of the \$35.7 million increase include:
- An increase in Total Property FFO of \$8.4 million compared to the previous corresponding period primarily as a result of fixed rental increases across the portfolio, recently completed industrial developments and the acquisition of 570-586 Wickham Street, Fortitude Valley, partially offset by divestment of the second tranche of Southgate Complex, Melbourne and 11 Waymouth Street, Adelaide.
- Additional \$20.4 million of trading profits (net of tax) recognised compared to the previous corresponding period. Trading profits of \$34.7 million (net of tax) have been recognised in HY19 from the settlement on the sale of 32 Flinders Street, Melbourne.
- Maintenance capex, lease incentives and leasing costs paid being \$4.2 million lower than the previous corresponding period.

The distribution will be paid to Dexus Security holders on Thursday, 28 February 2019.

Sustainability
Supporting Dexus's New Energy, New Opportunities strategy to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030, Dexus announced that terms had been agreed for one of Australia's first supply-linked renewable Energy Supply Agreements, which will purchase renewable energy off-site to power the base building services of more than 40 buildings across its New South Wales group property portfolio. This will be achieved through the procurement of renewable energy generation and presents a new lever for Dexus to achieve its 2030 target.
Dexus has made progress towards the group's target of having one million square metres of the office portfolio at a 5-star or above NABERS Energy rating by 2020, with 904,500 square metres now at this position.

, with settlement expected to occur in July 2019. Further details on these acquisitions is provided in the Development section.
In November 2018, Dexus announced the establishment of a new circa \$2 billion unlisted trust that will invest in Australian logistics properties, known as Dexus Australian Logistics Trust ("DALT"). DALT was seeded with assets from Dexus's existing industrial portfolio comprising \$1.4 billion of core logistics properties which settled into DALT in December 2018, as well as ownership interests in a \$138 million development landbank. DALT's foundation investor, GIC, has taken an initial 25% investment in the core portfolio, with put and call rights to acquire an additional 24% by June 2020. GIC will own a 49% interest in the development landbank and fund its share of development spend.
Dexus originally announced the acquisition of the development landbank referred to above in August 2018. The development landbank is located in South Granville (settled September 2018), Ravenhall (settled in December 2018) and Richlands (expected to settle in February 2019). Further detail on DALT is provided in the Funds Management section.

Dexus performance
The following sections review the HY19 performance of the Group's key financial drivers: Property portfolio, Funds management and Trading.
Property portfolio
Dexus remains focused on maximising the performance of its property portfolio through leasing and asset management activities, with the property portfolio contributing to 86% of FFO in HY19.
The size of Dexus's direct portfolio increased \$0.6 billion since 30 June 2018 to \$13.9 billion at 31 December 2018 primarily as a result of development spend, acquisitions and valuation uplifts, partially offset by the divestment of an effective 25% interest in the properties that form the DALT core portfolio.

| Total area: | 1,504,943 square metres |

Dexus's office portfolio achieved a total return of 13.0%, driven both by valuation uplifts and leasing. Occupancy increased to 97.3% from 96% at 30 June 2018, driven by leasing in Sydney, our largest core market.

. Dexus will capitalise on improving fundamentals in the local economy over the next 12 months as the property is repositioned.
In Sydney, office leasing spreads of +18% were achieved, driven by continued strength in tenant demand.
Leasing also progressed at 100 Mount Street, North Sydney with the development now 84% committed.
Other notable activity during the period included securing Heads of Agreement for a substantial portion of 2 and 4 Dawn Fraser Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park, with 59.4% of the total space across both buildings now committed.
The office portfolio achieved like-for-like income growth of 1.7%, which was affected by the vacancy at Sydney Olympic Park, however this is expected to normalise to 4-5% for FY19, consistent with the previously stated target.

| Portfolio value: | \$2.2 billion |

| Total area: | 1,432,620 square metres |
| Area leased during the period: | 136,400 square metres8 |
| Key metrics | 31 December 2018 | 30 June 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Occupancy by income | 96.8% | 98.3% |
| Occupancy by area | 97.8% | 98.8% |

| Total return – 1 year | 15.5% | 13.6% |
The industrial portfolio continues to benefit from an uptick in logistics and e-commerce demand, however occupancy decreased to 96.8% as a result of expiries within the portfolio.
Dexus sees further opportunities within the logistics sector as businesses seek to drive supply chain efficiencies and preferences for online retail continue to rise.
Development
Dexus enhances future investor returns through the Group's \$5.2 billion development pipeline, of which \$2.8 billion sits within the Dexus portfolio and \$2.4 billion within third party funds.
During the period, Dexus secured a prime office development site in the Melbourne CBD, through entering into agreements to acquire adjoining properties at 60 and 52 Collins Street which, along with the development at 140 George Street, Parramatta, increased Dexus's development pipeline to \$2.8 billion.
The Melbourne acquisitions provide Dexus with a presence in the tightly held 'Paris end' of Collins Street in the CBD. They also present a unique opportunity to undertake an office development creating long term value for investors in the next supply cycle, in a prime location where Dexus receives significant enquiry from its existing customer base.
Development works commenced at 240 St Georges Terrace in Perth which is due for completion in late 2020, one year earlier than previously stated due to the leasing success achieved over the past six months.
Construction topped out at 100 Mount Street in North Sydney, with the development expected to complete in May 2019. Works continue to progress at 180 Flinders Street in Melbourne and at 12 Creek Street – The Annex in Brisbane.
Construction continues at four industrial properties across 83,600 square metres with three at Dexus Industrial Estate in Truganina, Victoria, two of which are pre-leased, and one at Greystanes which is also pre-leased.
Funds management
Dexus now manages \$15.0 billion of funds on behalf of 73 third party clients after securing new investors during the period.
GIC is the foundation investor in DALT, a circa \$2 billion unlisted trust that invests in Australian logistics properties. DALT has been seeded with assets from Dexus's existing industrial portfolio comprising \$1.4 billion of core logistics properties and a \$138 million development landbank (circa \$0.5 billion on completion).
The establishment of this new unlisted logistics vehicle unlocks the growth potential of the Dexus industrial platform, broadening Dexus's relationships and providing a stable long-term source of capital to invest alongside through the cycle.
During the period, Dexus also secured M&G Real Estate as a new investor in the Dexus Industrial Partnership. Since its establishment in June 2014, Dexus has achieved an unlevered IRR of 15.2% on its investment in the Partnership (including fees) and will continue to deliver on the Partnership's growth mandate through acquisitions and active management.

to acquire an interest in Heathley Limited, the external manager of the Heathley Healthcare REIT, a new stapled vehicle proposed to list on the Australian Securities Exchange and in which Dexus would take a 10% cornerstone investment upon its listing. In December 2018, the proposed initial public offering was put on hold and discussions continue with the management of Heathley Limited.
All funds delivered strong performance, with DWPF achieving a one-year total return of 12.54%, outperforming its benchmark over one, three, five, seven and ten years. The Dexus Office Partnership delivered a one-year unlevered total property return of 12.09% and an annualised unlevered total property return of 14.59% since inception.
Dexus continued to progress the \$2.4 billion third party development pipeline which provides the opportunity to improve the quality of its clients' property portfolios and enhance future returns.
Trading
Trading involves acquiring properties to reposition through development and leasing or unlocking the highest and best use of existing properties and realising value through divestment. Since 2010, Dexus has been undertaking trading activities and recognising trading profits in its FFO. Over the past five years Dexus has established a track record of consistently delivering trading profits.
During the period, Dexus settled on the sale of an identified trading asset at 32 Flinders Street, Melbourne, which realised \$34.7 million of FY19 trading profits (net of tax).
A further five projects diversified across sectors and trading strategies have been earmarked to deliver trading profits of \$210-\$270 million pre-tax in future years, including 201 Elizabeth Street, Sydney where the hotel stratum is currently being marketed.
Construction is now underway at the North Shore Health Hub at 12 Frederick Street in St Leonards, with the facility now 51% leased ahead of expected completion in late 2020. The multi-tenanted facility will be located adjacent to the North Shore hospital precincts, offering occupants a new benchmark in medical workspace.

In October 2018, Dexus conditionally agreed that it would acquire an initial 28.5% interest in Heathley for \$11.3 million, with an option to acquire a further 21.5% interest in the future. Dexus would take a 10% cornerstone investment in the Healthcare REIT at the proposed issue price of \$2.00 per stapled security for consideration of \$37.3 million. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions including approval by Heathley shareholders and unitholders investing in existing Heathley-managed funds that are to become part of Healthcare REIT, key management personnel signing up to new employment contracts, successful completion of the IPO and no material adverse change in the PDS prepared with respect to the offer.
Outlook
Heading into 2019, Dexus is cautious as a result of local and global uncertainty however is well positioned to continue to add value for its investors.
In this environment, Dexus is supported by positive office fundamentals in key markets driving high portfolio occupancy, a significant pipeline of development projects creating future value, and quality unlisted partners to invest alongside through the cycle. All of this is underpinned by a strong balance sheet.

This section sets out the basis upon which the Group's Financial Statements are prepared.
Basis of preparation
These interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Constitutions of the entities within the Group, the Corporations Act 2001, AASB's issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standard Board.
Unless otherwise stated the financial statements have been prepared using consistent accounting policies in line with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. Refer to note 14 for changes in accounting policies.
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, with all values rounded in the nearest tenth of a million dollars in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis using historical cost conventions, except for investment properties, investment properties within the equity accounted investments, derivative financial instruments, and other financial assets and liabilities which are stated at their fair value. Refer to specific accounting policies within the notes to the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 for the basis of valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Dexus 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. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the entities within the Group must be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. DDF is the parent entity and deemed acquirer of DIT, DOT and DXO. These Financial Statements therefore represent the consolidated results of DDF and include DDF and its controlled entities, DIT and its controlled entities, DOT and its controlled entities, and DXO and its controlled entities. All entities within the Group are for-profit 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.
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 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 2018 and any public pronouncements made by the Group during the half year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Working capital deficiency
The Group has unutilised facilities of \$929.7 million (June 2018: \$886.6 million) (refer to note 9) and sufficient working capital and cash flows in order to fund all requirements arising from the net current asset deficiency as at 31 December 2018 of \$308.8 million (June 2018: \$450.2 million). The deficiency is largely driven by the provision for distribution due to be paid in February 2019.
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 estimates and assumptions used for the measurement of items measured at fair value such as certain financial instruments, investment properties, and security-based payments, and the assumptions for intangible assets and the net realisable value for inventories, 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.

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 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 2018 and any public pronouncements made by the Group during the half year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Working capital deficiency
The Group has unutilised facilities of \$929.7 million (June 2018: \$886.6 million) (refer to note 9) and sufficient working capital and cash flows in order to fund all requirements arising from the net current asset deficiency as at 31 December 2018 of \$308.8 million (June 2018: \$450.2 million). The deficiency is largely driven by the provision for distribution due to be paid in February 2019.
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 estimates and assumptions used for the measurement of items measured at fair value such as certain financial instruments, investment properties, and security-based payments, and the assumptions for intangible assets and the net realisable value for inventories, 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.

Note 2 Finance costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation or ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and net fair value movements of interest rate swaps. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets.
A qualifying asset is an asset under development where the works being carried out to bring to its intended use or sale is expected to exceed six months in duration. Finance costs incurred for the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised to the cost of the asset for the period of time that is required to complete the asset. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally to fund development, the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised to qualifying assets must be determined by using an appropriate capitalisation rate.

|---|---|---|
| \$m | \$m | |
| Interest paid/payable | 61.5 | 56.6 |

ssification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The following areas have specifically been considered.
Impairment of financial assets
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.
The previous impairment assessment model was an 'incurred loss' model requiring the Group to consider whether or not the financial asset was impaired at the date of performing the assessment. Under AASB 9 this model has changed to an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The Group has therefore considered the historical actual write off rates for a type of financial asset, and forward looking indicators that might impact the recoverability of similar financial assets currently recognised. This rate has been applied to the Group's trade debtors to calculate impairment under the ECL model. The change has had an immaterial impact to the Group.
Hedging
The new hedging rules align hedge accounting more closely with the reporting entity's risk management practices. AASB 9 requires updated hedge documentation to reflect the new requirements of AASB 9. Existing hedge relationships will continue to qualify as effective hedge relationships upon adoption of the new standard.
Other disclosures (continued)
Note 14 Changes in accounting policies (continued)
Hedging (continued)
The Group uses interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps to manage interest rate and foreign currency risk exposures arising from external debt obligations. By applying AASB 9 hedge accounting, changes in foreign currency basis spreads are recognised in a separate cost of hedging reserve within equity. There has been no remeasurement of the Group's derivatives.
Debt modifications
The implementation of AASB 9 requires a gain or loss arising on modification of a financial liability that does not result in derecognition to be immediately recognised in profit or loss. The Group has assessed the impact and on application of AASB 9 the Group has an adjustment of \$1.8 million to retained earnings, resulting in an increase to interest bearing liabilities. Refer below for a reconciliation of retained earnings and the impacts on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Classification of financial assets
The Group has assessed the classification of significant asset classes summarised in the table below:
| Financial Assets | AASB 139 Classification | AASB 9 Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Rent receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Distributions receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |

Note 8 Non-current assets classified as held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and a sale is considered highly probable.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. Noncurrent assets classified as held for sale relate to investment properties and are measured at fair value.
As at 31 December 2018, the held for sale balance related to land lots at Dexus Industrial Estate, Truganina.

ompanying half-year financial report (the financial report) of Dexus Diversified Trust (the Trust), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected other explanatory notes and the directors declaration of Dexus Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) in respect of the Trust and its consolidated entities (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the Trust and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
Directors responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the Responsible Entity (the Directors) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 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 2018 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 the 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.

Note 10 Contingencies
DDF, together with DIT, DOT and DXO, is a guarantor of A\$4,571.7 million of debt facilities. 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 Group has bank guarantees of \$44.3 million, comprising \$43.1 million held to comply with the terms of the Australian Financial Services Licences (AFSL) and \$1.2 million largely in respect of developments.
The above guarantees are issued in respect of the Group and constitute an additional liability to those already existing in interest bearing liabilities on the Consolidated 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.

Note 12 Intangible assets
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 \$3.6 million (June 2018: \$3.7 million)) are measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated remaining useful lives of 15 years. Management rights that are deemed to have an indefinite life are held at a value of \$286.0 million (June 2018: \$286.0 million).
Software is measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, expected to be three to five years.

Note 13 Fair value of financial instruments
As at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018, the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities are held at fair value excluding interesting bearing liabilities which have a carrying amount of \$3,568.9 million (June 2018: \$3,371.1 million) and a fair value of \$3,687.1 million (June 2018: \$3,587.3 million). The Group uses the following methods in the determination and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments:
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 no based on observable data.
All financial instruments, excluding cash, were measured at Level 2 for the periods presented in this report. During the half year, there were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurements.

Note 14 Changes in accounting policies
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments were adopted by the Group on 1 July 2018. As the Group has adopted the modified retrospective approach upon implementation of these standards, comparatives have not been restated, however the Group has disclosed below the restatement of the 1 July 2018 opening retained earnings balance and respective balance sheet positions impacted as a result of this change.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 provides new guidance for determining when the Group should recognise revenue. The new revenue recognition model is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer - either at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract–based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. The Group's revenue is largely comprised of income under leases (see below), sales of inventory, management fees and development services.
The following specific revenue streams have been assessed:
Income under leases
Within its lease arrangements, the Group provides certain services to tenants (such as utilities, cleaning, maintenance and certain parking arrangements) which are accounted for within AASB 15. A portion of the consideration within the lease arrangements are therefore allocated to revenue for the provision of services. The service revenue is recognised over time as the services are provided and as such, the timing of recognition of income is not affected. Such revenue has, however, been disclosed separately in Note 1 Operating segments.
Investment management and property management fees
Where the Group earns investment and property management fees, the fees continue to be recognised monthly over the duration of the agreements. Management have determined that there are no impacts of the new guidance on investment and property management contracts.
Sales of inventory and development services
AASB 15 provides an expedient whereby contracts that are completed as of the date of transition (1 July 2018) are not required to be re-assessed. Management have chosen to apply this expedient. There is no impact on transition as the Group had no uncompleted inventory or development contracts at 1 July 2018 which required re-assessment.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The following areas have specifically been considered.
Impairment of financial assets
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.
The previous impairment assessment model was an 'incurred loss' model requiring the Group to consider whether or not the financial asset was impaired at the date of performing the assessment. Under AASB 9 this model has changed to an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The Group has therefore considered the historical actual write off rates for a type of financial asset, and forward looking indicators that might impact the recoverability of similar financial assets currently recognised. This rate has been applied to the Group's trade debtors to calculate impairment under the ECL model. The change has had an immaterial impact to the Group.
Hedging
The new hedging rules align hedge accounting more closely with the reporting entity's risk management practices. AASB 9 requires updated hedge documentation to reflect the new requirements of AASB 9. Existing hedge relationships will continue to qualify as effective hedge relationships upon adoption of the new standard.
Other disclosures (continued)
Note 14 Changes in accounting policies (continued)
Hedging (continued)
The Group uses interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps to manage interest rate and foreign currency risk exposures arising from external debt obligations. By applying AASB 9 hedge accounting, changes in foreign currency basis spreads are recognised in a separate cost of hedging reserve within equity. There has been no remeasurement of the Group's derivatives.
Debt modifications
The implementation of AASB 9 requires a gain or loss arising on modification of a financial liability that does not result in derecognition to be immediately recognised in profit or loss. The Group has assessed the impact and on application of AASB 9 the Group has an adjustment of \$1.8 million to retained earnings, resulting in an increase to interest bearing liabilities. Refer below for a reconciliation of retained earnings and the impacts on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Classification of financial assets
The Group has assessed the classification of significant asset classes summarised in the table below:
| Financial Assets | AASB 139 Classification | AASB 9 Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Rent receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Distributions receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Fees receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Other receivables | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Derivative assets | Fair value through profit and loss1 | Fair value through profit and loss1 |
| Other financial assets | Other financial assets at FVTPL | Other financial assets at FVTPL |

Independent auditor's review report to the securityholders of Dexus Diversified Trust
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report (the financial report) of Dexus Diversified Trust (the Trust), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected other explanatory notes and the directors declaration of Dexus Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) in respect of the Trust and its consolidated entities (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the Trust and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
Directors responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the Responsible Entity (the Directors) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 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 2018 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 the 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 financial report of the Trust 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 2018 and of 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.

About This Report
In this section
This section sets out the basis upon which the Trust's Financial Statements are prepared.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared;
- for a for-profit entity,
- in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution of the entities within the Group, the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
- in Australian dollars with all values rounded in the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise stated.
- on a going concern basis,
- using historical cost conventions except for investment properties, derivative financial instruments and other financial liabilities which are stated at their fair value. Refer to the specific accounting policies within the notes to the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 for the basis of valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and
- using consistent accounting policies in line with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
Dexus 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.
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 2018 and any public pronouncements made by DXS during the half year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Working capital deficiency
As at 31 December 2018, the Trust had a net current asset deficiency of \$98.0 million (June 2018: \$22.7 million). This is primarily due to the provision for distribution of \$85.5 million (June 2018: \$16.0 million).
The capital risk management is not managed at the Trust level, but rather holistically as part of the Group. This is done through a centralised treasury function which ensures that entities within the Group (including DIT) will be able to continue as a going concern. The Group has in place both external and internal funding arrangements to support the cash flow requirements of the Trust, including undrawn facilities of \$929.7 million (refer to note 9 Interest bearing liabilities in the Dexus Interim Report).
In the event that the entity requires additional funding to meet current liabilities in the 12 months succeeding the date of this financial report, the Group will make adequate funds available to the Trust.
In determining the basis of preparation of the financial report, the directors of the responsible entity of the Trust have taken into consideration the unutilised facilities available to the Group. As such the Trust is a going concern and the Financial Statements have been prepared on that basis.
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 estimates and assumptions used for the measurement of items measured at fair value such as certain 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.
sponsible Entity (the Directors) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 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 2018 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 the 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.

Note 2 Property revenue and expenses
The Trust's main revenue stream is property rental revenue and is derived from holding properties as investment properties and earning rental yields over time. Rental revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with fixed rent review clauses.
Prospective tenants may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into operating leases. The costs of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the end of the lease term. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties.
Property revenue is recognised as the service is delivered, in accordance with the terms of the relevant contracts.

Note 5 Contingencies
The Trust, together with DXO and DOT and DDF, is a guarantor of A\$4,571.7 million of interest bearing liabilities (refer to note 9 of the Dexus Interim Report). 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 above guarantees are issued in respect of the Trust and constitute an additional contingent liability to those already existing in interest bearing liabilities on the Consolidated 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 unit holders as at the date of completion of this report.

As at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018, the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities are held at fair value. The Trust uses the following methods in the determination and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments:
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.
All financial instruments were measured at Level 2 for the periods presented in this report. During the half year, there were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurements.

Note 8 Changes in accounting policies
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments were adopted by the Trust on 1 July 2018. As the Trust has adopted the modified retrospective approach upon implementation of these standards, comparatives have not been restated. The adoption of the new accounting standards does not have a material impact on the Trust. The changes and considerations are detailed below.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 provides new guidance for determining when the Trust should recognise revenue. The new revenue recognition model is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer - either at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract–based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. The Trust's revenue is largely comprised of income under leases.
The following specific revenue stream has been assessed:
Income under leases
Within its lease arrangements, the Trust provides certain services to tenants (such as utilities, cleaning, maintenance and certain parking arrangements) which are accounted for within AASB 15. A portion of the consideration within the lease arrangements are therefore allocated to revenue for the provision of services. The service revenue is recognised over time as the services are provided and as such, the timing of recognition of income is not affected.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The following areas have specifically been considered.
Impairment of financial assets
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.
The previous impairment assessment model was an 'incurred loss' model requiring the Trust to consider whether or not the financial asset was impaired at the date of performing the assessment. Under AASB 9 this model has changed to an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The Trust has therefore considered the historical actual write off rates for a type of financial asset, and forward looking indicators that might impact the recoverability of similar financial assets currently recognised. This rate has been applied to the Trust's trade debtors to calculate impairment under the ECL model. The change has had an immaterial impact to the Trust.
Note 8 Changes in accounting policies (continued)
Classification of financial assets
The Trust has assessed the classification of significant asset classes summarised in the table below:
| Financial Assets | AASB 139 Classification | AASB 9 Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Rent receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Distributions receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Other receivables | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Derivative assets | Fair value through profit and loss1 | Fair value through profit and loss1 |
1 Excluding where hedge accounting is applied.
The following table reconciles the changes in retained earnings upon implementation of the new accounting standards.
| 31 Dec 2018 | |
|---|---|

| Closing retained earnings balance as at 30 Jun 2018 - AASB 139 | (196,230) |

Note 9 Subsequent events
Since the end of the period, 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.

Independent auditor's review report to the securityholders of Dexus Industrial Trust
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report (the financial report) of Dexus Industrial Trust (the Trust), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected other explanatory notes and the directors declaration of Dexus Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) in respect of the Trust and its consolidated entities (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the Trust and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
Directors of the Responsible Entity's responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the Responsible Entity (the Directors) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 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 2018 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 the 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.

About this Report
In this section
This section sets out the basis upon which the Trust's Financial Statements are prepared.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose Financial Statements have been prepared;
- for a for-profit entity,
- in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution of the entities within the Group, the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
- in Australian dollars with all values rounded in the nearest tenth of a million dollars in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise stated.
- on a going concern basis,
- using historical cost conventions except for investment properties, investment properties within equity accounted investments, derivative financial instruments and other financial liabilities which are stated at their fair value. Refer to the specific accounting policies within the notes to the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 for the basis of valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and
- using consistent accounting policies in line with those of the previous financial period and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
Dexus 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.
Working capital deficiency
As at 31 December 2018, the Trust had a net current asset deficiency of \$121.6 million (June 2018: \$166.5 million). This is primarily due to the provision for distribution of \$111.3 million (June 2018: \$149.9 million).
The capital risk management is not managed at the Trust level, but rather holistically as part of the Group. This is done through a centralised treasury function which ensures that entities within the Group (including DOT) will be able to continue as a going concern. The Group has in place both external and internal funding arrangements to support the cash flow requirements of the Trust, including undrawn facilities of \$929.7 million (refer to note 9 Interest bearing liabilities in the Dexus Interim Report).
In the event that the entity requires additional funding to meet current liabilities in the 12 months succeeding the date of this financial report, the Group will make adequate funds available to the Trust.
In determining the basis of preparation of the financial report, the directors of the responsible entity of the Trust, have taken into consideration the unutilised facilities available to the Group. As such the Trust is a going concern and the Financial Statements have been prepared on that basis.
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 estimates and assumptions used for the measurement of items measured at fair value such as certain 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.
assessment model was an 'incurred loss' model requiring the Trust to consider whether or not the financial asset was impaired at the date of performing the assessment. Under AASB 9 this model has changed to an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The Trust has therefore considered the historical actual write off rates for a type of financial asset, and forward looking indicators that might impact the recoverability of similar financial assets currently recognised. This rate has been applied to the Trust's trade debtors to calculate impairment under the ECL model. The change has had an immaterial impact to the Trust.
Hedging
The new hedging rules align hedge accounting more closely with the reporting entity's risk management practices. AASB 9 requires updated hedge documentation to reflect the new requirements of AASB 9. Existing hedge relationships will continue to qualify as effective hedge relationships upon adoption of the new standard. The Group uses interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps to manage interest rate and foreign currency risk exposures arising from external debt obligations. By applying AASB 9 hedge accounting, changes in foreign currency basis spreads are recognised in a separate cost of hedging reserve within equity. There has been no remeasurement of the Group's derivatives.
Note 9 Changes in accounting policies (continued)
Classification of financial assets
The Trust has assessed the classification of significant asset classes summarised in the table below:
| Financial Assets | AASB 139 Classification | AASB 9 Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Rent receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Distributions receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Other receivables | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Derivative assets | Fair value through profit and loss1 | Fair value through profit and loss1 |

Independent auditor's review report to the securityholders of Dexus Office Trust
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report (the financial report) of Dexus Office Trust (the Trust), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected other explanatory notes and the directors declaration of Dexus Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) in respect of the Trust and its consolidated entities (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the Trust and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
Directors of the Responsible Entity's responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the Responsible Entity (the Directors) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 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 2018 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 the 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 financial report of the Trust 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 2018 and of 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.

The Trust is an entity to which the Instrument applies. All figures in this Directors' Report and the Financial Statements, except where otherwise stated, are expressed in Australian dollars.
Note 2 Property revenue and expenses
The Trust's main revenue stream is property rental revenue and is derived from holding properties as investment properties and earning rental yields over time. Property rental revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with fixed rent review clauses.
Prospective tenants may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into operating leases. The costs of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the end of the lease term. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties.
Property revenue is recognised as the service is delivered, in accordance with the terms of the relevant contracts.

Note 3 Finance costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation or ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and net fair value movements of interest rate swaps. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets.
Note 3 Finance costs (continued)
A qualifying asset is an asset under development which takes a substantial period of time, where the works being carried out to bring to its intended use or sale is expected to exceed 12 months in duration. Finance costs incurred for the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised to the cost of the asset for the period of time that is required to complete the asset. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally to fund development, the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised to qualifying assets must be determined by using an appropriate capitalisation rate.

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 above guarantees are issued in respect of the Trust and constitute an additional contingent liability to those already existing in interest bearing liabilities on the Consolidated 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 unit holders as at the date of completion of this report.
of the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the review; and
- (b) no contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the review.

Note 8 Fair value of financial instruments
As at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities held at fair value were determined using the following methods:
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.
All financial instruments carried at fair value were measured at Level 2 for the periods presented in this report. During the period, there were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurements.

Note 9 Changes in accounting policies
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments were adopted by the Trust on 1 July 2018. As the Trust has adopted the modified retrospective approach upon implementation of these standards, comparatives have not been restated. The adoption of the new accounting standards does not have a material impact on the Trust.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 provides new guidance for determining when the Trust should recognise revenue. The new revenue recognition model is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer - either at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract–based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. The Trust's revenue is largely comprised of income under leases.
The following specific revenue stream has been assessed:
Income under leases
Within its lease arrangements, the Trust provides certain services to tenants (such as utilities, cleaning, maintenance and certain parking arrangements) which are accounted for within AASB 15. A portion of the consideration within the lease arrangements is therefore allocated to revenue for the provision of services. The service revenue is recognised over time as the services are provided and as such, the timing of recognition of income is not affected.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The following areas have specifically been considered.
Impairment of financial assets
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.
The previous impairment assessment model was an 'incurred loss' model requiring the Trust to consider whether or not the financial asset was impaired at the date of performing the assessment. Under AASB 9 this model has changed to an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The Trust has therefore considered the historical actual write off rates for a type of financial asset, and forward looking indicators that might impact the recoverability of similar financial assets currently recognised. This rate has been applied to the Trust's trade debtors to calculate impairment under the ECL model. The change has had an immaterial impact to the Trust.
Hedging
The new hedging rules align hedge accounting more closely with the reporting entity's risk management practices. AASB 9 requires updated hedge documentation to reflect the new requirements of AASB 9. Existing hedge relationships will continue to qualify as effective hedge relationships upon adoption of the new standard. The Group uses interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps to manage interest rate and foreign currency risk exposures arising from external debt obligations. By applying AASB 9 hedge accounting, changes in foreign currency basis spreads are recognised in a separate cost of hedging reserve within equity. There has been no remeasurement of the Group's derivatives.
Note 9 Changes in accounting policies (continued)
Classification of financial assets
The Trust has assessed the classification of significant asset classes summarised in the table below:
| Financial Assets | AASB 139 Classification | AASB 9 Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Rent receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Distributions receivable | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Other receivables | Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Derivative assets | Fair value through profit and loss1 | Fair value through profit and loss1 |

Note 10 Subsequent events
Since the end of the period, 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.

Independent auditor's review report to the securityholders of Dexus Office Trust
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report (the financial report) of Dexus Office Trust (the Trust), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected other explanatory notes and the directors declaration of Dexus Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) in respect of the Trust and its consolidated entities (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the Trust and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
Directors of the Responsible Entity's responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the Responsible Entity (the Directors) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 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 2018 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 the 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 financial report of the Trust 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 2018 and of 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.

venue and expenses**
Property rental revenue is derived from holding properties as investment properties and earning rental yields over time. Rental revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with fixed rent review clauses.
Prospective tenants may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into operating leases. The costs of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the end of the lease term. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties.
Property, development and fund management fee revenue is recognised as the service is delivered, in accordance with the terms of the relevant contracts.

>About This Report
In this section
This section sets out the basis upon which the Trust's Financial Statements are prepared.
Basis of preparation
These interim Financial Statements have been prepared:
- for a for-profit entity;
- in accordance with the requirements of the Constitutions of the entities within the Trust, the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS);
- in Australian dollars with all values rounded in the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise stated;
- on a going concern basis;
- using historical cost conventions except for investment properties, security based payments and other financial assets which are stated at their fair value; and
- using consistent accounting policies in line with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
Dexus 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.
The capital risk management is not managed at the Trust level, but rather holistically as part of the Group. This is done through a centralised treasury function which ensures that entities within the Group (including DXO) will be able to continue as a going concern.
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 2018 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 financial reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
The Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars.
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 estimates and assumptions used for the measurement of items measured at fair value such as certain financial instruments, investment properties and security-based payments, and the assumptions for intangible assets and the net realisable value for inventories, 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.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes are organised into the following sections:
| Trust performance | Property portfolio assets |
Capital management and other assets |

|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Operating segments | 7. Investment properties | 9. Contingencies | 13. Changes in accounting policies |

Trust performance
In this section
This section explains the results and performance of the Trust.
It provides additional information about those individual line items in the Financial Statements that the Directors consider most relevant in the context of the operations of the Trust, including: operating segments, management fee revenue, property revenue and expenses and finance costs.
Note 1 Operating segments
Description of segments
The Group's operating segments have been identified based on the sectors analysed within the management reports reviewed in order to monitor performance across the Group and to appropriately allocate resources.
The operating segments within DXS are reviewed on a consolidated basis and are not monitored at an individual trust level.
Disclosures concerning DXS's operating segments are presented in the Dexus Interim Report.

Note 3 Property revenue and expenses
Property rental revenue is derived from holding properties as investment properties and earning rental yields over time. Rental revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with fixed rent review clauses.
Prospective tenants may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into operating leases. The costs of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the end of the lease term. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties.
Property, development and fund management fee revenue is recognised as the service is delivered, in accordance with the terms of the relevant contracts.

1 The Trust applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts on 1 July 2018. A portion of the consideration within lease arrangements has been allocated to service revenue which has previously been disclosed as part of property lease revenue. Refer to Note 13 Changes in accounting policies.
Property expenses of \$4.5 million includes rates, taxes and other property outgoings incurred in relation to investment properties.
>Note 4 Finance costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation or ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and net fair value movements of interest rate swaps. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets.
A qualifying asset is an asset under development which takes a substantial period of time, where the works being carried out to bring to its intended use or sale is expected to exceed 12 months in duration. Finance costs incurred for the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised to the cost of the asset for the period of time that is required to complete the asset. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally to fund development, the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised to qualifying assets must be determined by using an appropriate capitalisation rate.

|---|---|---|
| \$'000 | \$'000 | |
| Interest paid to related parties | 9,820 | 7,596 |
| Amount capitalised | (734) | (2,202) |
| Other finance costs | 149 | 96 |
| Total finance costs | 9,235 | 5,490 |
The average capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is 5.25%.
assification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The following areas have specifically been considered.
Impairment of financial assets
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.
The previous impairment assessment model was an 'incurred loss' model requiring the Trust to consider whether or not the financial asset was impaired at the date of performing the assessment. Under AASB 9 this model has changed to an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The Trust has therefore considered the historical actual write off rates for a type of financial asset, and forward looking indicators that might impact the recoverability of similar financial assets currently recognised. This rate has been applied to the Trust's trade debtors to calculate impairment under the ECL model. The change has had an immaterial impact to the Trust.

Capital management and other assets
In this section
The board determines the appropriate capital structure of the Group, how much is borrowed from financial institutions and capital markets (debt), and how much is raised from shareholders (equity) in order to finance the Trust's activities both now and in the future. This capital structure is detailed in the following notes:
- Debt: Contingencies in note 9;
- Equity: Contributed equity in note 10.
Note 9 Contingencies
DDF, together with DIT, DOT and DXO, is a guarantor of A\$4,571.7 million of debt facilities. 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 Group has bank guarantees of \$44.3 million, comprising \$43.1 million held to comply with the terms of the Australian Financial Services Licences (AFSL) and \$1.2 million largely in respect of developments.
The above guarantees are issued in respect of the Group and constitute an additional liability to those already existing in interest bearing liabilities on the Consolidated Statements 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 unit holders as at the date of completion of this report.

Note 11 Intangible assets
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 \$3.6 million (June 2018: \$3.7 million)) are measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated remaining useful lives of 15 years. Management rights that are deemed to have an indefinite life are held at a value of \$286.0 million (June 2018: \$286.0 million).
Software is measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, expected to be three to five years.

Note 12 Fair value of financial instruments
As at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities held at fair value were determined using the following methods:
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.
All financial instruments carried at fair value were measured at Level 2 for the periods presented in this report. During the period, there were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurements.
Other disclosures
In this section
This section includes other information that must be disclosed to comply with the Accounting Standards, the Corporations Act 2001 or the Corporations Regulations, but which are not considered critical in understanding the financial performance or position of the Trust.
Note 13 Changes in accounting policies
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments were adopted by the Trust on 1 July 2018. As the Trust has adopted the modified retrospective approach upon implementation of these standards, comparatives have not been restated. The adoption of the new accounting standards does not have a material impact on the Trust.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 provides new guidance for determining when the Trust should recognise revenue. The new revenue recognition model is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer - either at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract–based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. The Trust's revenue is largely comprised of income under leases.
The following specific revenue stream has been assessed:
Income under leases
Within its lease arrangements, the Trust provides certain services to tenants (such as utilities, cleaning, maintenance and certain parking arrangements) which are accounted for within AASB 15. A portion of the consideration within the lease arrangements are therefore allocated to revenue for the provision of services. The service revenue is recognised over time as the services are provided and as such, the timing of recognition of income is not affected.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The following areas have specifically been considered.
Impairment of financial assets
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.
The previous impairment assessment model was an 'incurred loss' model requiring the Trust to consider whether or not the financial asset was impaired at the date of performing the assessment. Under AASB 9 this model has changed to an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The Trust has therefore considered the historical actual write off rates for a type of financial asset, and forward looking indicators that might impact the recoverability of similar financial assets currently recognised. This rate has been applied to the Trust's trade debtors to calculate impairment under the ECL model. The change has had an immaterial impact to the Trust.

Classification of financial assets
The Trust has assessed the classification of significant asset classes summarised in the table below:
| AASB 139 Classification | AASB 9 Classification |
|---|---|
| Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Loans and receivables | Financial assets at amortised cost |
| Available for sale | Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income |
| Fair value through profit and loss1 | Fair value through profit and loss1 |

Since the end of the period, 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.

Independent auditor's review report to the securityholders of Dexus Operations Trust
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report (the financial report) of Dexus Operations Trust (the Trust), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected other explanatory notes and the directors declaration of Dexus Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity) in respect of the Trust and its consolidated entities (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the Trust and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
Directors of the Responsible Entity's responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the Responsible Entity (the Directors) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 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 2018 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 the 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 financial report of the Trust 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 2018 and of 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.
