2 Appointed to the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee on 23 May 2007.

3. directors’ interests

Details of the Board’s policy on insider trading and trading in DB RREEF Trust securities or securities in any of the funds managed by DB RREEF by Director and employee are set out in section 3.2 of the Corporate Governance Statements in the DB RREEF Trust Annual Report.

While the trading policy described in the Corporate Governance Statement applies to Directors and Senior Executives, the Board has determined that Directors will not trade in any security managed by DB RREEF.

Directors have made this decision because the Boards of DB RREEF have responsibility for DB RREEF Trust as well as the third party businesses. Directors are obliged to act in the best interest of each group of investors independently of each other. Therefore, to minimise the appearance of conflict that may arise by being a director of multiple funds, the Directors have determined that they will not invest in any fund managed by DB RREEF including DRT. While this decision may fail to achieve the desired alignment of interests between investors and the Board, the Directors consider it to be of greater importance to demonstrate that they are not motivated to act in the interests of any one fund over another. This position is periodically reviewed by the Board.

As a direct result of DB RREEF’s policy regarding Directors holding DRT securities, or securities in any of the funds managed by DB RREEF, as at the date of this Directors’ Report no Director or Alternate Director directly or indirectly held:

n securities in DB RREEF Trust; or

n options over, or any other contractual interest in, securities in DB RREEF Trust; or

  • n

  • an interest in any other fund managed by DRFM or any other entity that forms part of DB RREEF Trust.

16.2 non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid to the Auditor, which include amounts paid for non-audit services are set out in note 8 of the Notes to the financial statements.

The Board Audit Committee is satisfied that the provision of nonaudit services provided during the year by the Auditor (or by another person or firm on the Auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 .

The reasons for the Directors being satisfied are:

  • n Board Audit Committee has determined that the external auditor will not provide services that have the potential to impair the independence of its audit role, including:

  • participating in activities that are normally undertaken by management; and

  • being remunerated on a “success fee” basis.

  • n Board Audit Committee has determined that the Auditor will not provide services where the Auditor may be required to review or audit its own work, including:

  • the preparation of accounting records;

  • the design and implementation of information technology systems;

  • conducting valuation, actuarial or legal services;

  • promoting, dealing in or underwriting securities; or

  • providing internal audit services.

  • n Board Audit Committee regularly reviews the performance and independence of the Auditor and whether the independence of this function has been maintained having regard to the provision of non-audit services. The Auditor has provided a written declaration to the Board regarding its independence at each reporting period and Board Audit Committee approval is required before the engagement of the Auditor to perform any non-audit service for a fee in excess of $100,000.

The above Directors’ statements are in accordance with the advice received from the Board Audit Committee.

16.3 audit independence declaration

A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out in the Financial Statements and forms part of this Directors’ Report.

17. corporate governance

DRFM’s Corporate Governance Statement is set out in the DB RREEF Trust Annual Report.

18. combined financial statements

The Trust has applied Class Order 06/441 issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission which allows the financial statements of different registered schemes with a common Responsible Entity to be presented in adjacent columns in a single financial report.

19. rounding of amounts and currency

The Trust is a registered scheme of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in this Directors’ Report and the Financial Statements. Amounts in this Directors’ Report and Financial Statements have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. All figures in this Directors’ Report and the Financial Statements, except where otherwise stated, are expressed in Australian dollars.

20. management representation

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, the person who effectively holds the role of Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed the Trust’s financial reporting processes, policies and procedures together with its risk management and internal control and compliance policies and procedures. Following that review it is their opinion that the Trust’s financial records for the financial year have been properly maintained in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Financial Statements and their notes comply with the accounting standards and give a true and fair view.

21. directors’ authorisation

This Directors’ Report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

3. directors’ interests

Details of the Board’s policy on insider trading and trading in DB RREEF Trust securities or securities in any of the funds managed by DB RREEF by Directors and employees are set out in section 3.2 of the Corporate Governance Statements in the DB RREEF Trust Annual Report.

While the trading policy described in the Corporate Governance Statement applies to Directors and Senior Executives, the Board has determined that Directors will not trade in any security managed by DB RREEF.

Directors have made this decision because the Boards of DB RREEF have responsibility for DB RREEF Trust as well as the third party businesses. Directors are obliged to act in the best interest of each group of investors independently of each other. Therefore, to minimise the appearance of conflict that may arise by being a director of multiple funds, the Directors have determined that they will not invest in any fund managed by DB RREEF including DRT. While this decision may fail to achieve the desired alignment of interests between investors and the Board, the Directors consider it to be of greater importance to demonstrate that they are not motivated to act in the interests of any one fund over another. This position is periodically reviewed by the Board.

As a direct result of DB RREEF’s policy regarding Directors holding DRT securities, or securities in any of the funds managed by DB RREEF, as at the date of this Directors’ Report no Director or Alternate Director directly or indirectly held:

n securities in DB RREEF Trust; or

n options over, or any other contractual interest in, securities in DB RREEF Trust; or

  • n

  • an interest in any other fund managed by DRFM or any other entity that forms part of DB RREEF Trust.

DB RREEF Trust Combined Financial Statements 2007 23

notes to the financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

note 1. summary of significant accounting policies

(a) basis of preparation

DB RREEF Trust stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange under the code “DRT” and comprise one unit in each of DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO. Each entity forming part of DRT continues as a separate legal entity in its own right under the Corporations Act 2001 and is therefore required to comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards.

DB RREEF Funds Management Limited as Responsible Entity for each of the Trusts may only unstaple the Trusts if approval is obtained by special resolution of the stapled security holders.

This general purpose financial report for the year ended 30 June 2007 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Trusts’ Constitutions, the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the consolidated Financial Statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Trusts changed their accounting policies on 1 July 2005 to comply with AIFRS.

This financial report is prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with historical cost conventions and has not been adjusted to take account of either changes in the general purchasing power of the dollar or changes in the values of specific assets, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments (refer notes 1(g), 1(o), 1(q) and 1(s)).

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

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with AIFRS may require the use of certain critical accounting estimates and management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Trusts’ accounting policies. Other than the estimation of fair values described in notes 1(g) and 1(q), no key assumptions concerning the future or other estimation of uncertainty at the reporting date have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the Financial Statements in the next annual reporting period.

(b) principles of consolidation

Controlled entities

The Financial Statements incorporate an elimination of inter-entity transactions and balances to present the Financial Statements on a consolidated basis.

Net profit and equity in controlled entities, which is attributable to the unitholdings of minority interests, are shown separately in the Income Statements and Balance Sheets respectively.

Partnerships and joint ventures

Where assets are held in a partnership or joint venture with another entity directly, the Trusts’ share of the results and assets of this partnership or joint venture are consolidated into the Income Statements and Balance Sheets of the Trusts. Where assets are jointly controlled via ownership of units in single purpose unlisted unit trusts or shares in companies, the Trusts apply equity accounting to record the operations of these investments (refer note 1(t)).

(c) other financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Interests held by DIT and DOT in controlled entities and associates are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised immediately in the Income Statements.

(d) other financial assets

Interests held by DRO in controlled entities are measured at cost. The carrying amount of these investments are reviewed annually to ensure they are not in excess of the recoverable amount of the investments.

(e) revenue recognition

Rent

Rental income is brought to account on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with fixed rent review clauses. In all other circumstances rental income is brought to account on an accruals basis. If not received at balance date, rental income is reflected in the Balance Sheets as a receivable. Recoverability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be not collectable are written off.

Interest income

Interest income is brought to account on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method and, if not received at the balance date, is reflected in the Balance Sheets as a receivable.

Dividends and distribution income

Income from dividends and distributions are recognised when declared. Amounts not received at balance date are included as a receivable in the Balance Sheets.

(f) expenses

Expenses are brought to account on an accruals basis and, if not paid at the balance date, are reflected in the Balance Sheets as a payable.

Property expenses

Property expenses include rates, taxes and other property outgoings incurred in relation to investment properties and property plant and equipment where such expenses are the responsibility of the Trusts.

Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the Income Statements from the date on which control is gained.

The Financial Statements incorporate all the assets, liabilities and results of the parent and its controlled entities.

24 DB RREEF Trust Combined Financial Statements 2007

Financing costs to financial institutions

Financing costs include interest expense and other costs incurred in respect of obtaining finance. Other transaction costs incurred including loan establishment fees in respect of obtaining finance are applied against the related financings with the amortisation of such costs being recognised through the effective interest rate on the financing over the term of the respective agreement.

Financing costs are expensed unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset, financing costs capitalised are those incurred in relation to that financing, net of any interest earned on those financings. Where funds are borrowed generally, financing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate.

(g) derivatives and other financial instruments

(i) Derivatives

The Trusts’ activities expose them to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Accordingly, the Trusts enter into various derivative financial instruments to manage their exposure to the movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Policies and limits are approved by the Board of Directors of the Responsible Entity in respect of the usage of derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge those cash flows and earnings which are subject to interest rate risks and foreign currency risks respectively. In conjunction with its advisers, the Responsible Entity continually reviews the Trusts’ exposures and updates their treasury policies and procedures. The Trusts do not trade in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Even though the derivatives entered into aim to provide an economic hedge to interest rate and foreign currency risks, the Trusts have elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB 139: Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement . Accordingly, derivatives including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts, are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognised immediately in the Income Statements.

(ii) Embedded derivatives

Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the Income Statements.

(iii) Debt and equity instruments issued by the Trusts

Financial instruments issued by the Trusts are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements. Accordingly, ordinary units issued by DIT, DOT and DRO are classified as equity.

Further securities issued by RENTS, a controlled entity, are classified as equity and are treated as minority interest.

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity (net of tax) as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.

(iv) Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate.

The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in the net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations.

Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries or associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

Change in accounting policy

The policy of recognising financial guarantee contracts as financial liabilities was adopted for the first time in the current financial year. In previous reporting periods, a liability for financial guarantee contracts was only recognised if it was probable that the debtor would default and a payment would be required under the contract.

The change in policy was necessary following the change to AASB 139: Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement . The new policy has been applied retrospectively. There were no adjustments to current and prior period numbers as the fair value calculated by management was not material.

(v) Other financial assets

Loans and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment.

(h) goods and services tax/value added tax

Revenues, expenses and capital assets are recognised net of any amount of Australian/New Zealand goods and services tax (GST) or French and German value added tax (VAT), except where the amount of GST/VAT incurred is not recoverable. In these circumstances the GST/VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statements on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from or payable to the Australian Taxation Office is classified as operating cash flows.

Interest and distributions are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the balance sheet classification of the related debt or equity instruments.

note 1. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) taxation

Under current Australian income tax legislation DIT and DOT, are not liable for income tax provided they satisfy certain legislative requirements. These Trusts may be liable for income tax in jurisdictions where foreign property is held (i.e. USA, France, Germany, New Zealand).

DRO is a trading trust and is subject to Australian income tax as follows:

  • n the income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on a tax rate of 30 percent adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses;

  • n deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax base of those items. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax assets or liabilities. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability (where they do not arise as a result of a business combination and did not affect either accounting profit/loss or taxable profit/loss);

  • n deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses;

  • n deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  • n current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Withholding tax payable on distributions received from DB RREEF Industrial Properties Inc (US REIT) and DB RREEF Properties Inc (US REIT II) are recognised as an expense when tax is withheld.

In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of US assets and liabilities in the Trusts (held by US REIT and US REIT II) and their accounting carrying values at balance date. Any deferred tax liability or asset is calculated using a blend of the current withholding tax rate applicable to income distributions and the applicable US federal and state taxes.

Under current Australian income tax legislation, the security holders will generally be entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for US withholding tax deducted from distributions paid by the US REIT and US REIT II.

DIT France Logistique SAS (DIT France), a wholly owned sub-trust of DIT, is liable for French corporation tax on its taxable income at the rate of 34.43 percent. In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the French assets and their accounting carrying value at balance date.

DB RREEF GLOG Trust, a wholly owned Australian sub-trust of DIT, is liable for German income tax on its German taxable income at the rate of 26.375 percent (note that this rate is reduced to 15 percent from 1 January 2008). In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the German real estate assets and their accounting carrying value at balance date.

DOT NZ Sub-Trust No. 1, a wholly owned Australian sub-trust of DOT, is liable for New Zealand corporate tax on its New Zealand taxable income at the rate of 33 percent. In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the New Zealand real estate assets and their accounting carrying value at balance date.

(j) distributions

In accordance with the Trusts’ Constitution, the Trusts distribute their distributable income to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. Distributions are provided for when they are approved by the Board of Directors and declared.

(k) repairs and maintenance

Plant is required to be overhauled on a regular basis and is managed as part of an ongoing major cyclical maintenance program. The costs of this maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the replaced component will be derecognised and the replacement costs capitalised in accordance with note 1(q). Other routine operating maintenance, repair costs and minor renewals are also charged as expenses as incurred.

(l) cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(m) receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, which is based on the invoiced amount less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Trusts will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

26 DB RREEF Trust Combined Financial Statements 2007

(n) inventories

Properties undergoing or having completed construction or development for ultimate sale are classified as inventory and are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is assigned by specific identification and includes the cost of acquisition, development and finance costs during development. When development is completed, finance costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred.

(o) property plant and equipment

All property plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Land and freehold buildings are accounted for using the cost method. Construction in progress is subsequently recognised at fair value in the Financial Statements.

Revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, unless they are reversing a previous decrement charged as an expense in the Income Statements, in which case they are credited directly to the Income Statements.

Revaluation decrements are recognised directly as an expense in the Income Statements, unless they are reversing a revaluation increment previously credited to, and still included in the balance of the asset revaluation reserve, in which case they are debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.

(p) depreciation of property plant and equipment

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on buildings (including fit-out) is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost of each non-current asset over its expected useful life. Buildings (including fit-out) have estimated useful lives of between five and fifty years. Estimates for useful lives are reviewed on a regular basis.

(q) investment properties

Investment properties consist of properties held for long-term rental yields, capital appreciation or both. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Investment properties are subsequently recognised at fair value in the Financial Statements.

The basis of valuations of investment properties is fair value being the amounts for which the assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar leases. Where this is not available, an appropriate valuation method is used, which may include the discounted cashflow and the capitalisation method. Discount rates and capitalisation rates are determined based on industry expertise and knowledge, and where possible a direct comparison to third party rates for similar assets in a comparable location. Rental income from current leases and assumptions about future leases, as well as any expected operational cash outflows in relation to the property, are also reflected in fair value.

Changes in fair values are recorded in the Income Statements. The gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the date of disposal and the net proceeds from disposal and is included in the Income Statements in the year of disposal.

Subsequent redevelopment and refurbishment costs (other than repairs and maintenance) are capitalised to the investment property where they result in an enhancement in the future economic benefits of the property. Repairs and maintenance are accounted for in accordance with note 1(k).

Held for sale investment properties

Investment properties intended for sale are separately disclosed on the Balance Sheets as “Held for sale investment properties”. Such properties are measured using the same methodology as investment properties.

(r) leasing fees

Leasing fees incurred are capitalised and amortised over the lease periods to which they relate.

(s) lease incentives

Prospective lessees may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into operating leases. These incentives may take various forms including cash payments, rent free periods, or a contribution to certain lessee costs such as fit-out costs or relocation costs.

The costs of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis from the earlier of the date which the tenant has effective use of the premises or the lease commencement date to the end of the lease term. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties.

(t) investments accounted for using the equity method

Some property investments are held through the ownership of units in single purpose unlisted trusts or shares in unlisted companies where the Trusts exert significant influence or joint control but do not have a controlling interest. These investments are considered to be associates and the equity method of accounting is applied in the consolidated Financial Statements.

Under this method, the entity’s share of the post-acquisition profits of associates is recognised as revenue in the Consolidated Income Statements. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends or distributions receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s Income Statements, while in the consolidated Financial Statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Trusts’ share of losses in an associate equal or exceed its interest in the associate (including any unsecured receivables) the Trusts do not recognise any further losses unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

External valuations of the individual investments are carried out in accordance with the Trusts’ Constitutions, or may be earlier where the Responsible Entity believes there is a potential for a material change in the fair value of the property.

DB RREEF Trust Combined Financial Statements 2007 27

notes to the financial statements (continued)

note 1. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(u) acquisition of assets

The purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions including business combinations. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the Income Statements.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange at the entity’s incremental financing rate.

(v) fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilities

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement and for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and available for sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Trusts is the current bid price. The appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques including dealer quotes for similar instruments and discounted cash flows. In particular, the fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows and the fair value of forward exchange rate contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date.

(y) earnings per unit

Basic and diluted earnings per unit are determined by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent entity by the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding during the year.

(z) foreign currency

Items included in the Financial Statements of the Trusts are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Trusts.

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statements.

(ii) Foreign operations

Foreign operations are located in the United States of America, New Zealand, France and Germany. These operations have a functional currency of US Dollars, NZ Dollars and Euros respectively, which are translated into the presentation currency.

The assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly. Exchange differences arising, are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation on or after the date of transition to AIFRS are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.

(aa) segment reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing services within a particular geographic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other geographic environments.

(w) payables

These amounts represent liabilities for amounts owing at balance date. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(x) interest bearing liabilities

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on settlement.

(ab) combined financial statements

The Trust has applied Class Order 06/441 issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission which allows the Financial Statements of different registered schemes with a common Responsible Entity to be presented in adjacent columns in a single financial report.

(ac) rounding of amounts

The Trusts are the kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, relating to the rounding off of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

28 DB RREEF Trust Combined Financial Statements 2007

(ad) new accounting standards and UIG interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and UIG interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2007 reporting period. Our assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

(i) AASB 7: Financial Instruments Disclosure and AASB 2005-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 132, AASB 101, AASB 114, AASB 117, AASB 133, AASB 139, AASB 1, AASB 4, AASB 1023 and AASB 1038).

AASB 7 and AASB 2005-10 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. AASB 7 requires qualitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specific minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Trust has elected not to adopt the standard early. Application of this standard will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements.

(ii) AASB 8: Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 (AASB 5, AASB 6, AASB 102, AASB 107, AASB 119, AASB 127, AASB 134, AASB 136, AASB 1023 and AASB 1038), are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. It requires segment information disclosure based on segments monitored by the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing their performance rather than on a business/geographical basis. This will require more qualitative disclosure for single segment entities. Application of this standard will not affect the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements.

notes to the financial statements (continued)

note 32. financial risk management

DB RREEF Industrial Trust

The Trust’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Trust’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Trust.

Accordingly, the Trust enters into various derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to the movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. There are policies and limits approved by the Board of Directors of the Responsible Entity in respect of the usage of derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge those cash flows and earnings which are subject to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk respectively. In conjunction with its advisers, the Responsible Entity continually reviews the Trust’s exposures and updates its treasury policies and procedures. The Trust does not trade in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by:

  • n ensuring tenants, together with the respective credit limits, are approved and ensuring that leases are undertaken with a large number of tenants; and

  • n ensuring derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. The Trust has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Credit risk is further minimised by spreading transactions amongst approved counterparties.

As such, the Trust does not have a concentration of credit risk that arises from an exposure to a single tenant or financial institution. Furthermore, the Trust does not have a material exposure to a group of counterparties which are expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic or other conditions.

On-balance sheet financial instruments

The Trust’s exposure to credit risk on its financial assets is the carrying amount of its financial assets, as recognised in the Balance Sheets.

(b) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that movements in exchange rates used to convert foreign currency revenues, expenses, assets, or liabilities to the Trust functional currency will have an adverse affect on DRT.

Exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimised by the way the Trust manages its borrowing arrangements. The Trust matches the currency of its investment with the currency of its debt where practical. Residual foreign exchange risk is managed by the use of forward foreign exchange contracts.

(ii) Fair value interest rate risk

Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of an adverse change in the net fair (or market) value of an asset or liability due to movements in interest rates. Refer to (d) below.

(iii) Price risk

This is the risk that the value of the Trust’s investment portfolio will fluctuate as a result of changes in valuations. This risk is managed by ensuring that all activities are transacted in accordance with mandates, overall investment strategy and within approved limits. Market risk analysis is conducted regularly on a total portfolio basis.

On-balance sheet financial instruments

The net fair value of cash and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and liabilities is approximated by the carrying value of that asset or liability, as recognised in the Balance Sheets.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficient funds to satisfy commitments. The risk management guidelines adopted are designed to minimise liquidity risk through maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

(d) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

Interest rate risk for the Trust mainly arises from its borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Trust to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Trust to fair value interest rate risk.

Generally, fair value risk on borrowings issued at fixed rates is mitigated by entering into swaps for equivalent notional amounts and maturity dates that convert the fixed interest rate obligation on the borrowing into a variable rate obligation (i.e. fair value risk is converted to cash flow risk).

Cash flow interest rate risk on borrowings is managed by the use of interest rate swaps. Under the terms of these interest rate swaps, the Trust agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (mainly quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.

The Trust’s interest rate swaps and the weighted average effective interest rate (for each class of financial asset and financial liability, and each maturity bracket including floating rate financial assets and liabilities) are set out in the following table.

The Trusts operate internationally with investments in the United States, New Zealand, France and Germany and are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures in US dollars, NZ dollars and Euros.

directors’ and executive remuneration

The Directors of DRFM as Responsible Entity of the Trusts and their consolidated entities and DB RREEF Holdings Pty Limited (DRH) present the Remuneration Report. This Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2007 has been prepared by the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee and adopted by the Board in accordance with AASB 124: Related Party Disclosures which has been audited.

Please note that a reference to remuneration in this report has the same meaning as compensation for the purposes of AASB 124.

1 Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee oversees the remuneration of Directors and Senior Executives. The role and membership of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee is set out in the Corporate Governance Statement in this Annual Report. The terms of reference of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee can be found on the web page www.dbrreef.com/governance

2 Non-Executive Director remuneration

The disclosures in this section of the report relate to the Non-Executive Directors of DRFM who held office during the year ended 30 June 2007.

2.1 Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration framework

The objective of the Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration framework is to ensure Non-Executive Directors’ fees reflect the responsibilities of Directors and the demands which are made of them, as well as ensuring they are in line with market.

Non-Executive Directors’ fees are reviewed annually by the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee also obtains advice from independent remuneration consultants from time to time. Non-Executive Directors, other than the Chair, receive a base fee plus an additional fee for membership of a Board Committee. The Chair receives no Board Committee fees. Taking into account the greater time commitment required, the Chair receives a higher fee than other Directors, which is benchmarked to market. The Chair is not present during any discussion relating to the determination of his own fees.

Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are paid from a remuneration pool of $1,250,000 per annum, which was approved by DB RREEF Trust investors at the Annual General Meeting held on 25 November 2005.

3 DB RREEF remuneration framework

The objective of DRFM’s remuneration framework is to ensure remuneration for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns each employee’s remuneration with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for investors, and conforms to market best practice.

The remuneration framework is designed to attract and retain talented and motivated employees and to encourage enhanced performance.

The remuneration framework provides employees with a remuneration structure that encourages capability and performance by:

  • n providing clear performance objectives;

  • n delivering competitive remuneration for contributing to the creation of value; and

  • n providing recognition for contribution.

DRFM’s annual performance management program incorporates the establishment of specific, measurable, financial and non-financial objectives for all employees, which are then monitored throughout the year. Each of these individual objectives contributes to the achievement of DB RREEF’s overall plans and objectives. At each year end the degree of an employee’s achievement against the objectives is assessed and the results reflected in their “at risk” performance incentive allocation.

Employee remuneration structure is a mix of:

  • n fixed salary subject to annual review; and

  • n variable “at risk” pay through short-term and long-term performance incentive plans.

The balance of an employee’s remuneration between these components changes to reflect the employee’s accountability and responsibility for results. As an employee’s accountability and responsibility increases the lower will be the fixed component and the greater the “at risk” incentive component of their remuneration.

No employee receives DB RREEF Trust securities or securities in any other DB RREEF product as part of their remuneration package. This is in line with DB RREEF’s trading policy as outlined in the Corporate Governance Statement. The Board has made this decision because DRFM has responsibility for DB RREEF Trust as well as a number of third party funds and mandates. To minimise any appearance of conflict that may arise by being a manager of multiple funds, the Directors have determined that they will not invest in any fund managed by DB RREEF including DRT. This action ensures that the Directors are not motivated to act in the interests of any one group of investors over another.

Recognising the need to achieve an alignment of interest with all DB RREEF’s investors and the contribution DB RREEF’s managed funds make to DB RREEF Trust’s performance, the Board has implemented a long-term incentive scheme based on the combined performance of DB RREEF Trust and each fund managed by DB RREEF. A detailed description of the long-term incentive plan is outlined below.

Fixed remuneration

To ensure that the fixed component of an employee’s remuneration is competitive, external remuneration consultants are retained to provide analysis and advice regarding market remuneration for comparable roles, responsibility and accountability. The fixed pay for all employees is reviewed annually. However, there are no guaranteed fixed pay increases for any employee.

Performance incentive pool

All short-term incentive payments and long-term incentive allocations are taken from a single performance incentive pool. The size of the performance incentive pool in any year is determined after reference to the Group’s performance against certain financial and non-financial targets determined by the Board. Should these predetermined performance targets be achieved, an incentive pool, approved by the Board following the recommendation of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee, is made available for allocation to all employees, including Senior Executives and the Chief Executive Officer, for the financial year.

Short-term performance incentive

At the end of each year, performance against set targets is assessed and the results reflected in the short-term performance incentive allocation from the incentive pool to each employee. The performance assessment is weighted to non-financial measures that vary between positions but include matters such as achieving delivery of projects, operational improvements, performance enhancements, leadership and team work.

Where performance falls below minimum threshold levels, no short-term performance incentive is paid. Short-term performance incentives are payable in cash in August/September each year.

Long term incentive scheme

In 2005 the Board implemented a long-term incentive scheme, which has operated without change. The scheme is designed to achieve the following outcomes:

  • n to more closely align participants’ interests with those of investors;

  • n to give participants an incentive to create long-term, sustainable value for investors by enabling them to benefit from the long-term success of DB RREEF activities; and

  • n to assist in attracting and retaining high quality executives.

76 DB RREEF Trust Combined Financial Statements 2007

At the end of each year, performance against set targets is assessed and the results reflected in the long-term performance incentive allocation from the incentive pool to each participant. The performance assessment is weighted to financial measures that vary between positions but include matters such as DRT’s total return, earnings and distribution growth, net tangible asset backing and third party fund performance. No long-term performance incentive allocation is granted for less than satisfactory performance. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee recommends to the Board the employees, including executives, who will be eligible to participate in the long-term incentive scheme and the amount of long-term incentive that should be allocated to that participant.

In 2007, the Board has determined that all employees who were employed as at 30 June 2007 will have a minimum participation of $1,000 each.

The long-term incentive scheme employs the following concepts:

  • n the “Composite Total Return” is 50 percent of the total return of DB RREEF Trust, plus 50 percent of the combined asset weighted total return of DB RREEF’s unlisted funds and mandates; and

  • n the “Performance Benchmark” is 50 percent of the S&P/ASX 200 Property Accumulation Index for DB RREEF Trust and 50 percent of the Mercers Unlisted Property Fund Index for the unlisted funds and mandates.

DRFM’s long-term incentive scheme operates as follows:

  • n each year the Board, following a recommendation from the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee, allocates participants a longterm incentive value. The long-term incentive value allocated varies depending on the role of the participant and the participant’s performance against key performance indicators;

  • n the long-term incentive value is held by DRH until the end of the three year vesting period, and is notionally reinvested during the vesting period in DB RREEF Trust (50 percent of long-term incentive value) and DB RREEF’s other unlisted funds and mandates (50 percent of long-term incentive value). This means that the “banked value” of the long-term incentive fluctuates up and down in line with changes in the Composite Total Return;

  • n at the end of the three year vesting period the final long-term incentive payment is determined by grossing up the final “banked value” by the Performance Multiplier;

  • n the relevant Performance Multiplier is determined by comparing the Composite Total Return over the three year vesting period against the Benchmark. The table below sets out the appropriate Performance Multiplier based on the comparison of Composite Total Return against the relevant Benchmark performance groups:

Performance hurdle
Less than 95%
of benchmark
Up to 100%
of benchmark
Up to 115%
of benchmark
Up to 130%
of benchmark
Greater than 130%
of benchmark
Performance Multiplier
100%
110%
120%
140%
150%

n and consequently, the long-term incentive payment made to each participant at the end of the vesting period reflects the overall return received by DB RREEF investors, with performance exceeding the benchmark being recognised by a greater long-term incentive payment.

In determining the construction of the Composite Total Return the DRFM Board considered the obligations participants have to investors in DB RREEF Trust and the unlisted funds and mandates. Following due consideration the Board determined that the appropriate measure for DB RREEF Trust and the unlisted funds and mandates should be the total return of each fund. The Board further determined that the Performance Benchmark should be the S&P/ASX 200 Property Accumulation Index for DRT and the Mercers Unlisted Property Fund Index for unlisted funds and mandates.

Participants in the long-term incentive scheme will only receive cash payments. In addition, if a participant terminates their employment during the vesting period their long-term incentive grant is forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Performance indicators

Key performance indicators are typically a combination of financial and non-financial indicators which reflect the employee’s role, seniority, accountability and responsibility and their personal objectives, and may include one or more of the following measures:

Performance indicators Reason for use
Financial performance indicators
Total return to ensure focus on an improving security price and delivering income to investors
Earnings growth to ensure focus on improving earnings
Distributions growth to ensure focus on investor distributions
Net tangible asset growth to ensure the value of assets is maintained and improved
Third party funds performance to ensure focus on achieving each fund’s objectives
Property performance indicators
Net property income per property to ensure focus on target income returns to investors
Percentage of vacant space per property to ensure focus on target income returns to investors
Expenses against budget to ensure focus on appropriate cost model
Non-financial indicators
Project delivery to ensure focus on achievement of non-financial drivers of performance
Team work to ensure focus on achievement of non-financial drivers of performance

4.1 Senior Executive remuneration framework

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee, in consultation with external remuneration consultants, has implemented a specific framework for Senior Executive remuneration (including the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer) that is market competitive and is in line with DB RREEF’s overall remuneration framework.

The framework for Senior Executive remuneration is based on the following key criteria:

  • n transparency, competitiveness and reasonableness;

  • n linked to performance;

  • n the ability to attract and retain high quality executives; and

  • n aligns executives and investor interests.

Alignment to investors’ interests is achieved by a substantial proportion of Senior Executive remuneration being dependent upon performance. This ensures that remuneration for Senior Executives, including the Chief Executive Officer, is closely linked to:

  • n delivery of forecast returns; and

  • n achievement of key non-financial value drivers.

4.2 Components of Senior Executive remuneration

Each Senior Executive’s remuneration package comprises the following components:

  • n fixed remuneration;

  • n short-term performance incentives; and

  • n long-term performance incentives.

Subsequent to DRFM’s corporate restructure in September 2004 and following consideration of guidance from external advisors, the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee commissioned the development of a long-term incentive scheme and revised the target remuneration mix for the Chief Executive Officer and other Senior Executives to more closely reflect the remuneration structure of DRFM’s peer group.

Application of the target mix to the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and new Senior Executives was effected immediately. The target mix for other Senior Executives is being progressively introduced and will be fully implemented by 2008.

DRFM’s target remuneration mix between fixed, short-term and long-term incentives for the Chief Executive Officer and other Senior Executives is outlined below:

Name and title Commencement date Term Termination provisions/benefits
Victor P Hoog Antink 1 October 2005 Unlimited in term In the event of early termination, DRFM is required to give twelve
Chief Executive Officer months notice and may elect to pay out all or part of this notice period.
The provision of this payment constitutes full satisfaction of DRFM’s
obligations in respect of notice of termination.
Other Senior Executives Various Unlimited in term In the event of early termination, DRFM is required to give three
months notice and may elect to pay out all or part of this notice period.
----- End of picture text -----

All other DRH and DB RREEF Property Services Pty Limited (DRPS) employees have a standard service contract with DRH. These agreements are unlimited in term and provide for one month notice of termination by either party. However, no notice period is required if termination is for misconduct or serious or persistent breach of the agreement.

Where termination is outside the control of the executive, including Senior Executives, or the executive is made redundant, the termination payment will vary between executives. Where a termination payment is to be made it will be determined:

  • n in the case of Senior Executives, by the Board on the recommendation of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee; and

  • n in the case of all other executives, by the Chief Executive Officer on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.

In both situations the payment will take into account the seniority of the executive, the length of service, the performance of the executive, the reasons for termination and the statutory and other rights (if any) of the executive and DRH.
