Australian Infrastructure Fund Appendix 4E Report for the year ended 30 June 2007
B. Commentary on the results
AIX has today announced a record annual Net Profit after Tax of $168.2 million for the year to 30 June 2007. This represents an increase of 54 percent over the financial year ended 30 June 2006.
Total revenue increased by 42 percent to $185.9 million. Dividends, distributions and interest generated by the asset portfolio increased by 17 percent to $57.8 million, whilst unrealised gains in the portfolio increased by 59 percent to $130.1 million.
Net cash flows from operating activities increased by 41 percent to $45.5 million, and the book value (NTA) of the portfolio increased by 12 percent to $2.65.
AIX Chairman, Mr Paul Espie, noted “The Directors of AIX are delighted to have reported such a strong profit result today. It reflects the quality of the assets within the portfolio, and the benefits of AIX’s approach over recent years of continuing to invest in growth opportunities within the existing portfolio.
In line with the strong performance of the portfolio, Directors declared a distribution of 8.0 cents per stapled security. The distribution will be paid on 30 August 2007, bringing distributions to a total of 15.5 cents for the 2007 financial year, up from 14.5 cents for the 2006 financial year. Consistent with AIX’s distribution policy, these distributions were fully funded from portfolio cashflows, after payment of fund expenses.”
AIX Chief Operating Officer, Peter McGregor, added “AIX’s portfolio of assets performed strongly during 2007. The gross return generated by the portfolio for the year was 23.7 percent, comprising unrealised gains, cash flow and tax credits. This is above the long-term annualised return of 19.5 percent generated by the current portfolio of assets over the period of AIX ownership, highlighting the strong performance during the year.
The four core airport assets in the portfolio - Perth Airport, HOCHTIEF AirPort Capital (HTAC), APAC[1] and Queensland Airports (QAL) – were again the key contributors to portfolio performance, collectively accounting for 83.6 percent of total returns for the year.
During the year, a total of 115.1 million passengers passed through airports in which AIX holds an investment. This represents an increase of 7.1 percent over the previous corresponding period. This level of passenger growth exceeds the long-term growth industry trend both domestically and internationally, and highlights the benefits of quality and diversity within the portfolio.”
Key highlights for the year ended 30 June 2007
-
Strong total cash flow (including both operating cash flow and capital returns) from the asset portfolio of $74.8 million, an increase of 9.1 percent over the financial year ended 30 June 2006. Key contributors included HTAC ($17.6 million), QAL ($13.8 million), Perth Airport ($13.1 million) and APAC ($8.4 million).
-
Improved passenger numbers across the airport portfolio, with Perth (up 13.4 percent), NT Airports (up 12.2 percent) and Athens (up 9.2 percent) particularly strong.
-
Completion of a number of key development projects including the Gold Coast Airport runway extension, the Port of Portland mineral sands facility and the Darwin Airport Bunnings Warehouse project, together with a substantial pipeline of announced new growth initiatives within the portfolio.
-
Continued development of AIX portfolio companies’ substantial land holdings on behalf of commercial and industrial tenants.
Outlook
AIX remains well placed to continue to deliver growth and value to investors. Expectations of a positive environment for airport passenger movements, combined with a range of development options within the existing asset base, and a conservative capital structure (that will allow for further funding of growth initiatives and active capital management) should underpin longer term growth and value for investors.
1 APAC comprises Melbourne and Launceston Airports.

AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Likely developments and expected results
AIX expects the 2008 financial year and beyond, notwithstanding market competition, to continue to provide opportunities of which the fund is well positioned to take advantage.
The key focus of AIX to deliver growth and value to investors will include:
-
Ongoing management of portfolio assets , with a focus on maximising returns to AIX from existing operations. There are also significant opportunities to develop additional revenue streams across the airport portfolio, most notably in terms of retail, car parking and property development.
-
Active capital management , with a focus on reducing AIX’s cost of capital and providing funding for expansionary capital expenditure.
-
New acquisition opportunities for the fund. AIX will continue to seek value for securityholders through increased scale and diversity but these considerations will remain secondary to considerations of asset quality and transaction value. AIX’s pre-emptive rights and strategic industry partnerships are expected to provide significant sources of new opportunities within Australia and internationally.
Business strategies and prospects
Information on AIX’s business strategies and its prospects for future financial years is included in the AIX Annual Report. In the opinion of the directors, further information on AIX’s business strategies and its prospects for future financial years would, if included in this report, be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to AIX and has accordingly been omitted.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PricewaterhouseCoopers was appointed auditor of the Company at the Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2006. The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments in addition to their statutory audit duties, where the auditor’s expertise and experience are important. However, since appointment, PricewaterhouseCoopers has not been engaged for any non-audit services.
The predecessor auditor, Ernst & Young, was engaged for non-audit services and details of the amounts paid to the auditor for audit and non-audit services provided are set out below for comparative purposes.
The directors have considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit Committee, are satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services was compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act. The directors are satisfied that the nature of scope of non-audit services by the auditors, as set out below, did not compromise the auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act for the following reasons:
-
all non-audit services have been reviewed by either the Audit Committee or the Board to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in a management or a decision making capacity for AIX, acting as advocate for AIX or jointly sharing economic risk and rewards.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act is set out on page 11.
REMUNERATION REPORT
The directors of the Company present the Remuneration Report prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act for the year ended 30 June 2007. This remuneration report forms part of the Directors’ Report.
Non-executive directors’ remuneration
Board policy on remuneration
The Board of directors of AIFL is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors of the Company.
The fees paid to directors are set at levels that reflect both the responsibilities of, and the time commitments required from, the directors to discharge their duties. In order to maintain their independence and impartiality, the remuneration of the non-executive directors is not linked to the performance of either the Company or the Trust. In setting fee levels, the Board, takes into account:
-
independent professional advice;
-
fees paid by comparable companies;
-
the general time commitment required from directors and the risks associated with discharging the duties attaching to the role of director; and
-
the level of remuneration necessary to attract and retain directors of a suitable calibre.
The Board will continue to review its approach to non-executive director remuneration to ensure it remains in line with general industry practice and best practice principles of corporate governance.
Remuneration structure
Non-executive directors’ fees, including committee fees, are set by the Board within the maximum aggregate amount of $800,000 approved by securityholders in 2005. Directors’ fees paid for the financial year ended 30 June 2007 total $658,331. A retirement benefit of $187,211 was also paid to Barry Capp during the year following his retirement from the Board.
The Chairman, taking into account the time commitment required, received a fee of $225,000 for the financial year less an allowance of $24,525 for the value of his retirement benefit. This value was determined by a consulting actuary. The Board elected in April 2003 to phase out the retirement benefit and Directors who joined the Board after that date are not entitled to a retirement benefit. The non-executive directors received a fee of $90,000 for the financial year.
Directors who sit on the Board’s Audit Committee received a fee of $10,000 for the financial year and the Chairman of the Audit Committee received $20,000 for the financial year. The Chairman of the Board declined his fee for membership of the Audit Committee.
In addition, superannuation contributions are also made on behalf of the non-executive directors in accordance with the Company’s statutory superannuation obligations.
In accordance with rule 37 of the Constitution, directors are also permitted to be paid additional fees for special duties. Such fees are included in the aggregate remuneration cap approved by securityholders. Directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for all business related expenses, including travel on AIX business, as may be incurred in the discharge of their duties.

REMUNERATION REPORT
Relationship with the Manager – Hastings Funds Management Limited
As the Company has contracted with Hastings to manage its administration and investments, the Company employs no staff.
Hastings is paid a fee to provide a range of services and as part of that arrangement Hastings is required to provide appropriately qualified employees and resources to undertake those services, including the Hastings’ Managing Director and company secretarial service. Hastings determines the remuneration of its executives and the Company has no involvement in determining the remuneration of those executives.
Fees to the Responsible Entity
The Responsible Entity is entitled to a management fee calculated at the rate of one percent per annum of the net asset value of AIX. The Responsible Entity is also entitled to be reimbursed for expenses incurred for the management of AIX and a performance fee. No performance fee has been paid for the financial year. For the year ended 30 June 2007, Hastings was entitled to Responsible Entity fees in respect of AIX of $9,335,000 (2006 – $8,365,000). Hastings was also reimbursed $564,000 (2006 – $623,000) for costs incurred on behalf of AIX. These fees were paid by the Trust. Expenses incurred by the Company, including directors’ fees, are also paid by the Trust.

Distributions
A final AIX distribution of $29,983,000 (8.0 cents per stapled security) was declared for the six months ended 30 June 2007 and is payable on 30 August 2007.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
During the year, there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the Trust other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Events after the end of the financial year
There has not been any matter or circumstance, other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto, that has arisen since the end of the financial year, that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Trust, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Trust in future financial years.
Likely developments and expected results
The Trust expects the 2008 financial year and beyond, notwithstanding market competition, to continue to provide opportunities which the Trust is well positioned to take advantage of.
The key focus of the Trust to deliver growth and value to investors will include:
-
Ongoing management of portfolio assets , with a focus on maximising returns to AIX from existing operations. There are also significant opportunities to develop additional revenue streams across the airport portfolio, most notably in terms of retail, car parking and property development.
-
Active capital management , with a focus on reducing the Trust’s cost of capital and providing funding for expansionary capital expenditure.
-
New acquisition opportunities for the Trust. The Trust will continue to seek value for securityholders through increased scale and diversity but these considerations will remain secondary to considerations of asset quality and transaction value. The Trust’s pre-emptive rights and strategic industry partnerships are expected to provide significant sources of new opportunities within Australia and internationally.
Environmental regulation
The operations of the Trust are not subject to any particular significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory. There have been no known significant breaches of any other environmental requirements applicable to the Trust. However, there may be environmental regulations that relate to each of the assets owned by the Trust. Compliance with these regulations is the responsibility of the investee Company Boards rather than the Trust.

AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND LIMITED AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Structure of financial report
The ordinary shares issued by Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited (AIFL) are stapled to the units issued by Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust (AIFT). The combined entity of AIFL and AIFT is known as the Australian Infrastructure Fund (AIX). On 6 March 1997, the stapled securities were listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and have the ASX code AIX.
The units and shares will only be unstapled in accordance with the determination of the Responsible Entity of AIFT
and the Board of AIFL if:
-
the unitholders of AIFT have approved the unstapling by special resolution;
-
the members of AIFL have approved the unstapling by special resolution; and
-
the unstapling period commences within three months after the later of the dates on which the approval of unitholders and members is obtained.
Hastings Funds Management Limited (Hastings) is the manager of AIFL and the Responsible Entity of AIFT.
For the purpose of preparing a consolidated financial report that combines the assets and liabilities of AIFL and AIFT, AIFL is identified as the parent entity.
The financial report includes:
-
Consolidated AIFL or AIX: Represents the entire AIX group, being AIFL and the consolidated financial statements of AIFT.
-
AIFL: Represents the stand alone financial statements of AIFL;
-
Consolidated AIFT: Represents the consolidated financial statements of AIFT and its controlled entities; and
-
AIFT: Represents the stand alone financial statement of AIFT.
The above financial statements are presented in adjacent columns in a single financial report in accordance with the option available under ASIC Class Order 05/642.
(b) UIG Interpretation 1013 “Consolidated Financial Reports in Relation to Pre-Date-of-Transition Stapling Arrangements”
The stapling arrangement between AIFL and AIFT was effected prior to the date of transition to Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS), therefore UIG Interpretation 1013 applies. In accordance with this interpretation, for the purpose of preparing a consolidated financial report that combines the assets and liabilities of AIFL and AIFT, AIFL is identified as the parent entity.

AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND LIMITED AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of AIFT’s Constitution, the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for unlisted securities that have been measured at fair value.
The Balance Sheet is presented on a liquidity basis. Assets and liabilities are presented in decreasing order of liquidity and are not distinguished between current and non-current. Additional information regarding this are included in the relevant notes.
The financial report of AIX for the year ended 30 June 2007 was authorised for issuance in accordance with a resolution of directors on 28 August 2007.
The functional and presentation currency of AIX is Australian Dollars.
(d) Statement of compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Certain Australian Accounting Standards have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by AIX for the full year reporting period ended 30 June 2007. The assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations (to the extent relevant) is set out below:
(i) AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures 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 & AASB 1038)
AASB 7 and AASB 2005-10 are applicable to reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2007. AASB 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces AASB 130 Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial Institutions and the disclosure requirements in AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation . It is applicable to all reporting entities. The amendment to AASB 101 introduces disclosures about the level of an entity’s capital and how it manages capital. AIX has not adopted the standards early. Application of the standards will not affect any of the amounts recognized in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the AIX’s financial instruments.
(ii) AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2207-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8
AASB 8 and AASB 2007-3 are effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. AASB 8 requires adoption of a “management approach” to reporting on the financial performance. The information being reported will be based on what key decision-makers use internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments. Application of AASB 8 may result in different segments, segment results and different type of information being reported in the segment note. However, it will not affect any of the amounts recognized in the statements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Statement of compliance (continued)
(iii) Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements
A revised AASB 101 was issued in October 2006 and is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. AIX has not adopted the standard early. Application of the revised standard will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed.
(iv) AASB 2007-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from ED 151 and Other Amendments
AASB 2007-4 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007. The amendments introduce a number of options that existed under IFRS but had not been included in the original AIFRS and remove many of the additional Australian disclosure requirements. In particular, Australian entities are now permitted to use the proportionate consolidation method for interests in joint venture entities and the indirect method for presenting cash flow statements, to recognize government grants of non-monetary assets at nominal amounts and to present assets and expenses net of related government grants. Furthermore, some intermediate parent entities may no longer have to prepare consolidated financial reports. AIX will adopt the amendments arising from AASB 2007-4 for the financial year ended 30 June 2008. Application of the revised standards will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but it may remove some of the disclosures that are currently required.
(e) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial report of AIFL combines the assets and liabilities of AIFL and AIFT and the entity AIFT controls. These entities are referred to in the financial report as Consolidated AIFL or AIX. The effects of all transactions between entities in the AIFL consolidated group are eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial report of AIFT incorporates the assets and liabilities of AIFT and the entity it controls, being Australian Infrastructure Fund International 1 Trust and its controlled entities as at 30 June 2007. The effects of all transactions between entities in the AIFT consolidated group are eliminated in full.
Where control of an entity is obtained during the period, its results are included in the consolidated Income Statement from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a period its results are included for that part of the period during which control existed.
The financial reports of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full.

AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND LIMITED AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(f) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In applying AIX’s accounting policies, management and directors continually evaluates judgements, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the entity. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates, and assumptions. Significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions are outlined below:
Valuation of unlisted securities
Fair values of unlisted securities are determined by an appropriately qualified independent valuer, KPMG Corporate Finance, by projecting future cash flows and then discounting these cash flows back to their present value using a post-tax risk adjusted discount rate. Where applicable, foreign currency discounted cash flows are translated back to the local functional currency using the spot foreign exchange rate. Further details are provided in note 1(j). The carrying amount of unlisted securities held by AIX at 30 June 2007 was $955,754,000 and the carrying amount of unlisted securities held by Consolidated AIFT at 30 June 2007 was $821,264,000.
Provision for directors’ retirement
Non-executive directors who were appointed prior to 16 April 2003 retain a contractual entitlement to a retirement benefit. Further details on the calculation of this provision are provided in note 1(l). Non-executive directors appointed after 16 April 2003 have no entitlement to a retirement benefit.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash includes cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(h) Trade and other receivables
Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are initially recognised at fair value and then carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(i) Investment in associates
Associates are entities over which AIX have significant influence but not control. Investments in associates have been accounted for in the financial statements using the fair value method in accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement detailed in note 1(j).

AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND LIMITED AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(j) Unlisted securities
Movements in investments in unlisted securities, including investments in associates and investments in subsidiaries, are at fair value through the Income Statement. Gains or losses arising from movements in the fair value of unlisted securities are recognised through the Income Statement.
Unlisted securities comprise ordinary shares, ordinary units, preference shares, shareholder loans and accrued interest income.
All such unlisted securities are initially recognised at fair value, being the amount of consideration given between parties in an arm’s length transaction. After initial recognition, unlisted securities are measured at fair value consistent with AIX’s investment strategy. AIX’s strategy is to invest in unlisted securities with a view to profit from income return in the form of distribution and interest receipts and capital growth through the changes in the fair value of these assets over the period they are held.
Fair values of unlisted securities are determined by an appropriately qualified independent valuer, KPMG Corporate Finance, by projecting future cash flows and then discounting these cash flows back to their present value using a post-tax risk adjusted discount rate. Where applicable, the present value of foreign currency discounted cash flows are translated back to the local functional currency using the spot foreign exchange rate. Discount rates used are developed on an individual unlisted security basis as determined by the independent valuer.
The post-tax risk adjusted discount rate (otherwise known as the cost of equity or Ke) applied by KPMG Corporate Finance in determining the fair value of each unlisted security (with the exception Metro Transport Sydney which was valued using an alternative valuation methodology) as at 30 June 2007 is detailed below:
| Valuation | Ke | Valuation | Ke | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlisted Security Name | 2007 | 2007 | 2006 | 2006 |
| $'000 | % | $'000 | % | |
| Perth Airport | 233,400 | 13.55 | 202,000 | 14.00 |
| Airport Development Group | 46,000 | 15.40 | 36,800 | 15.50 |

| Port of Portland | 47,000 | 12.30 | 49,099 | 12.00 |
| Queensland Airports | 161,700 | 16.40 | 110,100 | 17.50 |
| HOCHTIEF AirPort Capital Group | 227,579 | 13.00 | 232,175 | 12.60 |

| SPV1 Unit Trust(DP World Adelaide) | 0 | 0.00 | 2,604 | 20.00 |
Purchases and sales of unlisted securities that require delivery of securities within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that AIX commits to purchase or sell the securities.

(k) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value being the consideration received 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. Gains and losses are recognised in the Income Statement when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.
(l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when AIX has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provision for directors’ retirement
Non-executive directors who were appointed prior to 16 April 2003 retain their contractual entitlement to a retirement benefit. The benefit provided by the retirement plan (where the director has had three or more years of service) is a lump sum equal to:
A + [ A x ( B – 36 ) / 24 ]
where:
-
A is the average of the directors fees for the three years immediately prior to retirement (taken as the total fees of the three years divided by three); and
-
B is the number of whole months that the individual has been a director, up to a maximum of 84 months (7 years).
(m) Issued financial instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of such financial instruments are recognised as a reduction of the proceeds received.
As units issued by AIFT are classified as financial liabilities, any amounts payable to securityholders are recorded as an expense and presented in the Income Statement for the year as ‘other finance costs’.

(n) Foreign currency translation
- (i) Functional and presentation currency
The functional and presentation currency of AIFL and AIFT and its subsidiaries is Australian dollars.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
All exchange differences in the financial report are taken to the Income Statement.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined.
(o) Distributions
AIFT’s Constitution requires that the Responsible Entity distribute to each securityholder an amount representing the distributable income entitlement of each securityholder in respect of a distribution period. Distributable income means either the taxable income of AIFT or the net accounting income of AIFT as determined by the Responsible Entity. Taxable income is fully distributed to securityholders. Distribution periods are 31 December and 30 June.
Where distribution income is determined by reference to the taxable income of AIFT, distributable income includes capital gains arising from the disposal of unlisted securities. Unrealised net gains or losses on unlisted securities are transferred to net assets attributable to securityholders and are not distributable and assessable until realised. Capital losses are not distributed to securityholders but are retained to be offset against any future realised capital gains.

(p) Income and expense recognition
Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to AIX and the income can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before income or expenses are recognised:
Interest income
Income is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Dividend and distribution income
Dividend and distribution income is recognised when there is control over the right to receive the dividend or distribution payment.
Gain/(loss) on unlisted securities - unrealised
Unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of unlisted securities are calculated as the difference between the fair value at year end and the fair value at the previous valuation point.
Gain/(loss) on unlisted securities - realised
Realised gains or losses are recognised upon sale of unlisted securities and are calculated as the difference between the sale price or settlement and the fair value at the previous valuation point.
Other expenses
Expenses are recognised in the Income Statement when AIFL or AIFT has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event that can be reliably measured. Expenses are recognised in the Income Statement if expenditure does not produce future economic benefits that qualify for recognition in the Balance Sheet.
Other income
Other income includes director fees received from investments. Director fees are recognised as income on an accrual basis.
Responsible Entity Fee
For the year ended 30 June 2007, in accordance with the Constitution and the AIFL management agreement, the Responsible Entity received a total fee of 1% of the net asset value of AIX (2006 – 1%).
The Responsible Entity is entitled under the Constitution and the AIFL management agreement to be reimbursed for certain expenses incurred in administering AIX. The basis on which the expenses are reimbursed is defined in AIX’s Constitution.

(q) Income tax
AIFT
Under current legislation, AIFT is not subject to income tax provided the securityholders are presently entitled to the income of AIFT.
AIX, AIFL, AIFT Consolidated
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
-
except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:
-
except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in reserves are recognised in reserves and not in the Income Statement.

(r) Other taxes
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Reduced input tax credits recoverable by AIFL or AIFT from the Australian Taxation Office are recognised as receivables in the Balance Sheet.
Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(s) Rounding
The amounts contained in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest thousand where rounding is applicable.
(t) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies
AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits, investments in unlisted securities and interest-bearing loans and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to generate a return on the investment made by securityholders. AIX and Consolidated AIFT have various other financial instruments such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from their operations.
AIX and Consolidated AIFT do not enter into or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The main risks arising from AIX’s and Consolidated AIFT’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk. The directors of AIFL and the directors of the Responsible Entity of AIFT review and agree policies for managing each of these risks.
53
AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND LIMITED AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause AIX or Consolidated AIFT to incur a financial loss.
With respect to credit risk arising from the financial assets of AIX or Consolidated AIFT, the exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
Credit risk is minimised by AIX and Consolidated AIFT only undertaking transactions with major reputable counterparties or on recognised exchanges and the aggregate value of transactions are spread amongst those counterparties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those financial assets, net of any allowances for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements.
Concentration of credit risk
AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s credit exposures are detailed in the following notes:
Trade and other receivables Note 7 Unlisted securities Note 10
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value may fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates on those financial assets and financial liabilities.
The following tables set out AIX’s, AIFL’s, Consolidated AIFT’s and AIFT’s exposure to interest rate risk, including the maturity dates and the effective weighted average interest rate by category of financial instrument.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
(d) Fair values
The carrying values of AIX’s and Consolidated AIFT’s financial assets and liabilities recognised in the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements approximate their fair values.
The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments
Carrying amounts approximate fair values because of their short term to maturity.
Receivables and payables
Carrying amounts approximate fair values because of their short term to cash receipt or payment.
Unlisted securities
For unlisted securities where there is no quoted market bid price, fair value is determined by an appropriately qualified independent valuer by projecting future cash flows and then discounting these cash flows back to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects a risk adjusted discount rate. Where applicable, foreign currency discounted cash flows are translated back to the local functional currency using the spot foreign exchange rate.
(e) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not AIX’s or Consolidated AIFT’s functional currency.
AIX and Consolidated AIFT have unlisted securities denominated in Euro. As a result, the Balance Sheet and Income Statement can be affected significantly by movements in the respective Euro/AUD foreign exchange rate.
The current policy of AIX and Consolidated AIFT is not to enter into derivatives or other currency cover to hedge foreign exchange risk post-completion of unlisted security acquisitions.
(f) Liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that AIX and Consolidated AIFT will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows on a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
To control liquidity and cash flow interest rate risk, AIX and Consolidated AIFT hold adequate liquid financial instruments. In addition, AIX and Consolidated AIFT invest within established limits to ensure there is no concentration of risk. Furthermore, due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, AIX and Consolidated AIFT aim at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

- (b) Compensation policy for key management personnel (continued)
(ii) Compensation policy for key management personnel of AIFL
Non-executive directors’ remuneration
Board policy on remuneration
The Board of directors of AIFL is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors of AIFL.
The fees paid to directors are set at levels that reflect both the responsibilities of, and the time commitments required from, the directors to discharge their duties. In order to maintain their independence and impartiality, the remuneration of the non-executive directors is not linked to the performance of either AIFL or AIFT. In setting fee levels, the Board takes into account:
-
independent professional advice;
-
fees paid by comparable companies;
-
the general time commitment required from directors and the risks associated with discharging the duties attaching to the role of director; and
-
the level of remuneration necessary to attract and retain directors of a suitable calibre.
The Board will continue to review its approach to non-executive director remuneration to ensure it remains in line with general industry practice and best practice principles of corporate governance.
Remuneration structure
Non-executive directors’ fees, including committee fees, are set by the Board within the maximum aggregate amount of $800,000 approved by securityholders in 2005. Directors’ fees paid for the financial year ending 30 June 2007 total $658,331. A retirement payment of $187,211 to Barry Capp has also been included in Directors’ fees.
The Chairman, taking into account the time commitment required, received a fee of $225,000 for the financial year less an allowance of $24,525 for the value of his retirement benefit. This value was determined by a consulting actuary. The board elected at an earlier date to phase out the retirement benefit and Directors who joined the Board after April 2003 are therefore not entitled to the retirement benefit. The directors received a fee of $90,000 for the financial year.
In addition, directors who sit on the Board’s Audit Committee received a fee of $10,000 for the financial year and the Chairman of the Audit Committee received $20,000 for the financial year. The Chairman of the Board received no fee for his membership of the Audit Committee.
Superannuation contributions are also made on behalf of the non-executive directors in accordance with the AIFL’s statutory superannuation obligations.
In accordance with rule 37 of the AIFL Constitution, directors are also permitted to be paid additional fees for special duties. Such fees are included in the aggregate remuneration cap approved by securityholders. Directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for all business related expenses, including travel on AIX business, as may be incurred in the discharge of their duties.
Remuneration paid to other officeholders
Neither the Managing Director, the AIX Chief Operating Officer, nor the Company Secretaries were remunerated by AIX.

22. EARNINGS PER SECURITY
Net assets attributable to securityholders are classified as equity in AIFL’s Balance Sheet. Consequently, earnings per security when calculated in accordance with AASB 133 Earnings per Share, is 5.82 cents per security (2006 – 2.28 cents) for AIX and AIFL .
Net assets attributable to securityholders are classified as liabilities in AIFT’s Balance Sheet. Consequently, earnings per security calculated in accordance with AASB 133 Earnings per Share, is nil cents per security (2006 – nil cents) for Consolidated AIFT and AIFT.
The directors believe it is useful to calculate and disclose earnings per security based on ‘profit after income tax attributable to securityholders’ and ‘number of issued securities’.
Basic earnings per security under this method is calculated as ‘profit after income tax attributable to securityholders’, divided by the weighted average number of securities on issue, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted ‘profit after income tax attributable to securityholders’ per security is not materially different from basic ‘profit after income tax attributable to securityholders’ per security.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The directors of AIFL and the directors of Hastings Funds Management Limited as Responsible Entity for AIFT are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
Our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual Report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.
