Nic Lyons, Chief Executive Officer herioni, Insegnant MRI

We are pleased to report an increased level of performance for GPT this year. GPT delivered a distribution of 20.4 cents per unit for the 2002 calendar year, representing a 3.6% increase. in earnings per unit and a 3.5% increase in distributions per unit. This level of earnings growth exceeds the target of 3% set by the Board and management last year.

GPT's total return for the year to December 2002 (12.8%) was also pleasing, exceeding that of the Listed Property Trust Index.

Whilst we look to the long-term performance of the Trust, it is pleasing to see that the initiatives put in place over the last three years are having a positive effect, without significantly increasing the level of risk. These initiatives include:

  • entry into the bulky goods retail sector with the acquisition of a portfolio of Homemaker centres in November 2001;
  • earnings enhancing acquisitions across each of our portfolios, including a 50% interest in the Citigroup Centre. in December 2001;
  • the commencement of significant redevelopments at Erina Pair, Ploreat Porum and Melbourne Central's retail component, and the progression of masterplanning for future development works across the Retail Portfolio; and
  • the sale of assets that were not expected to achieve the required level of earnings growth in future years.

GPT has a diverse portfolio of quality assets that are performing well -- they are highly capitalised and well managed, positioning us to optimise the earnings growth potential of the portfolio. We do, however, remain focussed on identifying and pursuing opportunities that will continue the evolution of GPT in line with the changing demands of investors.

Consistent with the continuing focus on performance, Lend Lease has varied the management fee, reducing the base fee (from 0.55% to 0.40% (per annum) of gross assets), and introducing a performance component. This further aligns the interests of unitholders and Lend Lease on long-term out-performance of the Trust. Lend Lease, through GPT Management Limited, remains responsible for the majority of the costs of management of the Trust.

Bill Cairns will be retiring from the Board after the next meeting of unitholders. Bill has been on the Board (and its predecessor, the Supervisory Board) for ten years and has made a significant contribution with his considerable experience in investment property.

The management team was increased in 2002, with the appointment of Michael O'Brien as Fund Manager. Michael was previously a Retail Portfolio Manager for GPT for several years, prior to leading Lend Lease's Retail Group. His retail and fund management experience provides strong supportfor the existing management team. Together, the team has continued to focus on increasing returns and is responsible for the improvement in the results this year.

The focus of the Board and the management team is to continue to improve the returns from GPT for its investors by intensively managing the existing quality assets of the Trust and accessing additional growth-enhancing opportunities.

We look forward to meeting you at the Annual Meeting of Unitholders to be held on 29 April 2003 and to continuing to report on improved performance in the coming year.

The focus of the Board and the management team is to continue to improve the returns from GPT for its investors by intensively managing the existing quality assets of the Trust and accessing additional growth-enhancing opportunities.

"GPT's vision is to be the highest quality diversified trust in the Australian Listed Property Trust sector, providing investors with exposure to a diverse range of quality assets and delivering superior total returns.

GPT will invest in real estate sectors in which we have core skills, providing management with the opportunity to enhance performance for investors."

GPT's vision is one that we believe will add value for investors. and will deliver secure long-term returns with a relatively low. level of risk.

GPT's strategy focuses on delivering this vision through intensive management of all aspects of the Trust. This involves:

  • consistently improving the quality of GPT's portfolio of assets:
  • providing diversity in earnings through exposure to quality assets across a range of real estate sectors:
  • leveraging the core skills within the Lend Lease Group to enhance performance for investors; and
  • accessing capital cost-effectively.

As Australia's largest diversified property trust, GPT's returns are derived from a diverse range of properties in each of the major markets and sectors. This provides stable returns for unitholders through economic cycles, and has been particularly apparent in the current environment, with the Trust delivering increased distributions for 2002 despite the impact of a subdued world economy, and retaining a positive outlook for continued growth in 2003.

An increase in earnings per unit of 3.6% was achieved in 2002, continuing a trend in growth in earnings per unit for each of the past five years.

As earnings per unit represent the property portfolio's principal measure of performance and is therefore a driver of value, this is an important achievement.

GPT's total return for 2002 (of 12.8%) was also positively impacted by the increase in GPT's unit price (which rose from \$2.83 at 31 December 2001 to \$2.97 at 31 December 2002).

At the closing price of \$2.97 on 31 December 2002, GPT's distribution vield was 6.9%.

Going forward, our key objective remains to provide investors with secure and growing earnings with a relatively low level of risk. We believe that GPT's current core portfolio of quality assets is well positioned to continue to achieve earnings. growth. At the same time, we have significant capacity to access future growth-enhancing opportunities.

Implementing GPT's Strategy

Major achievements contributing to the performance of GPT and progress in relation to the Trust's strategy in 2002 follows.

Investment Performance

Net Operating Income

GPT's total property income for the year to 2002, of \$636.9. million, represented an increase of almost 12% on the previous corresponding period. Importantly, net operating income also increased, and was up 6% on the previous year. as a result of:

  • increased income from each of the Trust's four property portfolios;
  • acquisitions made over the past 18 months, including the acquisition of a portfolio of bulky goods (Homemaker) retail assets and a 50% interest in the Citioroup Centre in Sydney; and
  • the termination of the ground lease at Penrith Plaza, which provided GPT with entitlement to all income from this shopping centre and facilitates the future expansion. of this asset.

Distribution and Underlying Earnings

The distribution for 2002, of 20.4 cents per unit, represented a 3.5% increase on the distribution for 2001 of 19.7 cents per unit. The increase in earnings per unit represented 3.6% on the previous vear and exceeded the growth target of 3% set in 2001.

1998. 1999 2000 2001 2002.
Distribution (cents per unit) $\approx$ 19.1 = 19.1 = 19.3 19.7 20 4
Capital component -6.7 82. ΛA 66 oο
Earnings (cents per unit) 18.40 18.86 19.30 19.70 20.41
Earnings growth 22% 25% 23% 21% 36%

As the table above shows, earnings per unit improved over each of the last five years. There has been no payment of capital in the last three years, and future distributions are expected to be comprised purely of earnings.

The fundamentals that underpin and drive GPT's earnings remain secure.

Δ.

Total Robert

GPT's accumulation return for the 12 months ended 31 December 2002 was 12.8% (compared to the S&P/ASX Property 200 Accumulation Index return of 11.8%). This return compares very favourably with the All Ordinaries Index return for the period, of -8.1%.

Net Tanoible Assets (NTA)

GPT's NTA per unit is currently \$2.60, an increase of 2 cents. on the NTA of \$2.58 at the close of 2001.

Fee Structure

On 30 January 2003, a new fee structure was announced by GPT Management Limited. The decision follows a detailed review of the fee structure undertaken by GPT's management, in conjunction with Lend Lease.

Effective 1 January 2003, the base management fee payable by GPT will be reduced (from 0.55% to 0.40% (per annum). of gross assets) and a performance component will be introduced. Each six months the performance fee component will be 5% of GPT's out-performance compared to the S&P/ASX Property 200 Accumulation Index. The total fee payable each six months is capped at 0.275% of the gross assets of the Trust. GPT Management Limited remains responsible for the costs of managing the Trust.

This new fee structure strengthens the alignment between investors and GPT Management Limited and reflects changes. in the market over the past 12 months.

Improving Portfolio Quality and Earnings Diversity

During 2002, we continued to improve the quality of the Trust's property portfolio, disposing of non-core or low growth properties and acquiring assets that can enhance returns for investors. Overall, GPT's property assets increased during 2002, from \$6.2 billion to \$6.6 billion, largely as a result of earnings positive acquisitions and developments.

Recent acquisitions and developments ephanced the diversity of the Trust's income streams, improved the quality of the portfolio and will contribute to future earnings growth. The portfolio is positioned well to deliver a consistent level of income growth into the future.

During 2002, major activities included:

  • The original portfolio of Homemaker centres, acquired in November 2001, delivered their first full year of income. This sector represents a 'higher growth' retail sector and has performed well - exceeding acquisition forecasts and providing a first year yield of 9.5%. Exposure to this sector was increased during 2002 with the acquisition of the Fortitude Valley Homemaker Centre (Brisbane) and the Moorabbin Homemaker Centre (Melbourne). Both assets were acquired whilst still under construction and have traded well since opening in mid 2002.
  • The acquisition of a 50% interest in the Citigroup Centre, located at 2 Park Street in Sydney, in December 2001 also contributed to income growth. The asset, acquired at a total cost of \$264 million, represented a rare opportunity to acquire high quality office property in the Sydney CBD. Significant leasing efforts resulted in a decrease in vacancy

from 11% at acquisition, to only 2% at December 2002, securing increased income from the asset ahead of original assumptions.

  • In the Hotel/Tourism Portfolio, a group of resort assets at Cape Tribulation, a unique natural environment adiacent to two world heritage listed areas (the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and Daintree National Park) was acquired for \$11.5 million in March 2002. The Resorts, which were acquired with low occupancy and limited market presence, are currently undergoing a refurbishment and market repositioning program, utilising the experience of Voyages Hotels & Resorts, the lessee of Ayers Rock Resort. The enhancement program will substantially improve the Resorts' market presence and allow them to grow future revenues.
  • In May 2002, the Samsung Building and adjacent land was acquired for \$16.1 million. Located at 7 Parkview Drive. Homebush Bay, the building, which is adjacent to GPT's Quad site, is fully leased to Samsung for six years.
  • The Joint Venture Investment Arrangement (JVIA) at Penrith Plaza was successfully concluded in October 2002, with the termination of the ground lease to the ANZ. The cost, of \$120 million, is expected to provide a yield of 9.5%, and gives GPT full entitlement to all income from the Centre as well as the opportunity to benefit from the future expansion of one of the most highly productive shopping centres in Australia.
  • A number of small, strategic acquisitions were made in the Retail Portfolio. The acquisition of assets adjacent to Penrith Plaza, Charlestown Square, Erina Fair and the Castle Hill Homemaker Centre will all provide opportunities for long-term expansion and an improvement in the growth potential of these assets.

In addition to these acquisitions, GPT sold its 50% interest in Bankstown Square, a shopping centre asset located in NSW. Bankstown Square, which GPT held an interest in for almost 30 years, is testament to the active asset management approach taken by GPT. Throughout the Trust's ownership, the asset was progressively expanded and repositioned which strengthened market share and resulted in continued strong. earnings growth. The market, however, had matured and increased competition was resulting in declining sales and market share. The asset was sold because we did not believe it had the ability to meet the Trust's earnings growth targets. The sale price reflected an internal rate of return of over 17% and was a fantastic result for unitholders.

Leveraging Core Skills

GPT also utilised the asset management and property design. and development expertise available within the Lend Lease Group throughout the year, proceeding with \$620 million in developments at a number of assets and masterplanning for a potential future development program of \$500 million across. the Retail Portfolio.

A key driver of future growth will be the delivery of a number of developments across the portfolio. In a highly securitised market in which assets are increasingly scarce and more competitively sought, the opportunity to increase the quality of, and returns from, existing assets, is an attractive

e de la componentación

investment proposition. Across GPT's portfolios a number of developments and expansions of existing assets will contribute to growth in the short to medium term and will also improve the overall quality of the portfolio and contribute to earnings diversity. Illustrating GPT's active approach to managing assets, a number of developments of existing assets were progressed during 2002. These included:

  • In the Hotel/Tourism Portfolio, work was completed on a \$60 million expansion and refurbishment program at Ayers Rock Resort, including the creation of the Resort's new luxury wilderness camping facility (Longitude 131°). The refurbishment of over 80% of the rooms at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel was also completed during the year. These works have assisted in increasing revenue from both assets this year and position the hotels for future growth.
  • At Sunshine Plaza in Queensland, construction of a new supermarket at Plaza Parade and the extension of the existing cinemas and creation of a new restaurant precinct along the Riverwalk. The development was completed in December 2002 and is expected to provide a Year 1 yield. of 9.5% on the \$20 million (GPT's 50% share) spent.
  • The construction of two assets in the Industrial/Business Park Portfolio. Quad 2, the second stage of the Quad Business Park at Homebush Bay, was completed in March 2002. Construction on the office and warehouse facility for Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API) at 11 Grand Avenue. Camellía was completed on time and to budget in October and is now occupied by API. A vield of 9% will be achieved on the cost of \$23.9 million.
  • New corporate headquarters for National Australia Bank (The National) are well underway at the Victoria Harbour precinct of Melbourne. The two campus-style buildings will be ready for tenancy by The National in 2003 and 2004 respectively. The total cost of the buildings is expected to be \$242 million and The National will lease the buildings. for 12 years each from completion, providing a yield of 8% on cost and removing any risk of vacancy on completion. of the project.
  • At Ploreat Porum in Perth, the Centre is being significantly refurbished and an outdoor restaurant precinct created at a cost of \$46 million. Stage 1 was completed in December 2002 and Stage 2 is due for completion in mid 2003.
  • At Erina Fair, on the NSW Central Coast, a major expansion of the Centre is being undertaken. On completion, in-November 2003, the centre will include a new leisure and homewares precinct, community facilities and an ice-skating rink. The forecast cost is \$105 million (GPT's 50% share).

The major redevelopment of Melbourne Central's retail centre is now underway, following the achievement of conditions. precedent that included agreement of terms to acquire land on the railway concourse and leasing to major and key specialty retailers. The project will cost \$226.5 million and has a targeted completion date of November 2004.

The developments above represent opportunities to achieve a higher level of return for unitholders, while taking a measured and prudent approach to risk, through the use of experienced 'in-house' teams and conditions precedent. which set minimum criteria that must be met before a development proceeds.

Opportunities to grow the Trust's earnings will continue to be reviewed in relation to GPT's long-term strategy and the ability to improve long-term risk-adjusted returns for unitholders. As the market continues to be competitive in terms of acquisition opportunities, identifying new opportunities for increased growth and generating growth from the Trust's existing assets will continue to be a focus of GPT's activities.

Accessing Capital Cost-Effectively

As property trusts do not retain income, they are required to regularly raise capital in order to maintain existing assets to meet tenant and customer needs, optimise investment returns and finance new acquisitions. Therefore, the strength of GPT's balance sheet and its strong credit rating are critical to the long-term investment performance of the Trust.

GPT concluded 2002 with slightly increased borrowings of \$1,361 million, or 20.3% of total assets. This level remains below the maximum borrowing limit of 40% approved by unitholders in April 2002, and is at the lower end of the Board's adopted policy range of 20 - 30% of total assets. This level is also significantly below the LPT sector average of over 30%. A low level of gearing gives GPT the ability to increase gearing to access appropriate acquisition. opportunities and to fund the expansion of existing properties and other capital works.

Following the sale of GPT's interest in Bankstown Square, the Distribution Reinvestment Plans (DRPs) of GPT and GPT Spilt Trust were terminated in December 2002. This decision was made with reference to GPT's current level of gearing and the Trust's ongoing capital requirements. The discontinuation of the Plans will be accretive to earnings and will allow GPT to take advantage of the Trust's relatively low cost of debt for ongoing financing requirements.

New plans for GPT and GPT Split Trust, which allow a limited level of participation, will be introduced in the first half of 2003.

During 2002, GPT maintained its A+ long-term and A-1 shortterm local-currency credit rating from Standard & Poor's. These ratings remain the highest of any Australian listed property trust and are reflected in the weighted average interest rate of current borrowings, at 6.16%. A strong credit rating allows GPT to borrow at competitive margins and for longer durations.

GPT Management remains committed to an active financing strategy to maximise the strength of the Trust's balance sheet and manage risk, particularly interest rate exposure. At 31 December 2002 only 8% of the Trust's borrowings were exposed to floating interest rates. Maintaining a prudent level of debt with a spread of maturity dates is important to preserve GPT's funding flexibility. Swap arrangements are in place to protect the Trust against adverse interest rate movements.

Improving Disclosure and Communication

GPT's website, at www.gpt.com.au, was launched in early 1999 and has become a popular means of communicating with investors. A 'new look' site, which retains all the features of the previous site, but with an enhanced design, was launched in January 2003.

Visitors to the site are able to register to receive email notification of Stock Exchange announcements and other undates available in the News section of the website. The site also includes information about each of the Trust's assets, GPT's investment performance, quarterly distributions. and GPT's unit price. Copies of GPT's most recent reports can be downloaded from the site.

GPT is committed to maintaining a high level of disclosure and constantly reviews all methods of communication to ensure unitholders are kept informed of all aspects of their investment.

The LPT Sector and GPT

The LPT sector in Australia continued its remarkable evolution during 2002, demonstrating strong returns in uncertain economic conditions. The sector expanded over the year to control over \$68 billion of assets, representing approximately 7% of the All Ordinaries Index.

The LPT sector in Australia clearly demonstrated its value as a defensive holding in 2002, generally providing solid positive returns. The relative security from investing in LPTs is expected to remain relevant in the short term, given continued uncertainty regarding global political and economic conditions.

As the sector has continued to evolve, so has GPT. The Trustentered the hotel/tourism sector in 1997 and the bulky goods. sector in 2001 - both opportunities to further enhance the diversity and growth profile of GPT. The returns from these acquisitions have been enhanced with the application of intensive management utilising the core skills available within the Lend Lease Group. Over 2003 we will continue to focus on utilising our core skills to identify growth opportunities. GPT's strong balance sheet and low debt level position it well to take advantage of any acquisition or development. opportunities that arise.

GPT is the third largest Australian listed property trust. offering a truly diversified property exposure. The Trust remains in a strong position to continue the growth trendestablished over the last five vears and to improve both. earnings and distributions for investors.

Retail Portfolio Classification of Retail Assets (by value)

GPT's \$3.3 billion Retail Portfolio consists of 745,000m2 of regional, sub-regional and community shopping centres and 180,000m2 of Homemaker centres. During 2002, 144.5 million customer visits were recorded at GPT's shopping centres, and sales totalled \$3.6 billion, slightly up on the previous year.

GPT's Retail Portfolio is over 99% occupied, demonstrating the strong demand for space in GPT's centres. The Portfolio of shopping centres benefits from a reasonable level of occupancy costs, providing a sound basis for rental growth.

During 2002 the Retail Portfolio implemented a number of initiatives to position the Portfolio for sustainable long-term. earnings growth. Major works commenced and planning for the next phase of development continued at a number of existing shopping centres across the Portfolio. Significant developments complete at Sunshine Plaza (Qid) and underway at Melbourne Central (Vic), Floreat Forum (WA) and Erina Fair (NSW) will generate additional market share and provide stronger growth potential from these assets.

Comprehensive information about each of GPT's retail and Homemaker assets is contained on pages 16 to 21.

Performance

Income

During 2002 the Portfolio increased income by 12%, up \$26.6 million.

Key contributors to this increased income were:

  • increases in rents across GPT's retail and Homemaker centres; the strong income performance of the Homemaker centres which contributed income above acquisition forecasts - the majority of assets were acquired in November 2001 and anadditional two assets were acquired in mid 2002; and
  • the unwinding of the Joint Venture Investment Arrangement at Penrith Plaza in October which gave GPT full entitlement to all income from the Centre and significantly increased income from this Centre in the latter part of 2002. The \$120 million capital required to terminate the arrangement is anticipated to provide a year 1 yield of 9.5%.

Retail Sales

Across GPT's shopping centres, total centre sales per square metre were up 3%, and specialty sales per square metre were up 3.3% in the 12 months to December 2002. This represented ongoing growth in sales over the past 18 months. As shown in the graphs on the next page, almost all of GPT's shopping centres have productivity above industry averages and below average occupancy costs (retailers' cost of rent as a percentage of their sales), indicating potential for future rental growth.

Valuations

Valuations across the Retail Portfolio contributed a net \$50.3 million to reserves. Major increases came from Carlingford-Court (up \$14.0 million after a major redevelopment) and Erina Fair (up \$13.4 million).

Key Activities

Significant opportunities exist to improve the growth profile of the Retail Portfolio, through an ongoing focus on the management and development of existing assets and through the acquisition and divestment of assets to ensure that the Portfolio retains high quality assets that can meet the growth objectives of the Portfolio.

oronica ician

During 2002, GPT acquired two new Homemaker assets and a number of smaller assets adjacent to Penrith Plaza, Erina Pair and Charlestown Square, securing future income growth opportunities for the Portfolio. Also during 2002, GPT sold the Trust's 50% interest in Bankstown Square for \$176.0 million. The Centre was not expected to meet the Portfolio's long-term growth requirements and the sale realised a strong internal rate of return of over 17% over GPT's almost 30 year ownership.

Currently the Portfolio has close to \$400 million in developments underway. These developments, which are forecast to positively impact earnings per unit, include:

  • A \$226.5 million redevelopment of Melbourne Central's retail centre. Construction began in December 2002, afteragreements were reached with tenants to lease 27% of the total space. The full leasing campaign will begin in February 2003 and the expected completion date is November 2004.
  • At Erina Fair, on the NSW Central Coast, a major expansion is being undertaken. On completion, in November 2003, the centre will include a new specialty food precinct anchored. by a Coles Supermarket, a new leisure and homewares. precinct, community facilities and a Town Square surrounded by an ice-skating rink, cinemas and restaurants. The total cost is \$210 million (GPT's share \$105 million).
  • A \$46 million redevelopment of Floreat Forum in Perth. commenced in August 2001. Stage 1 is now complete and Stage 2, which includes the creation of a town centre and restaurant precinct, is due to be complete in mid 2003.

Retail Portfolio

These developments build on previous successful developments in recent years, including:

  • A \$40 million (GPT's share \$20 million) development of Plaza Parade and expansion of the Riverwalk at Sunshine Plaza, which was opened in December 2002. The project incorporates additional cinemas and a restaurant precinct. and has enhanced the Centre's reflection of the outdoor lifestyle of the Sunshine Coast.
  • A major reformulation of Carlingford Court in NSW, which was completed in December 2000. Since the reformulation the Centre has consistently achieved sales growth, and unitholders have also benefited from a significant increase in the Centre's value.
  • A \$4.0 million padsite retail outlet at Woden Plaza in ACT, housing a Dick Smith Powerhouse, completed in May 2002.

GPT has high quality retail assets. The vast majority of the assets are not only trading strongly, they are also the principal retail facilities in strongly growing trade areas. Opportunities to expand assets to take advantage of unserviced demand therefore exist throughout the Portfolio. Research and planning for the future evolution of Penrith Plaza, Macarthur Square, Wollongong Central and Charlestown Square is currently underway. The acquisition of assets strategically located adjacent to Penrith Plaza, Charlestown Square, Erina Fair and the Castle Hill Homemaker Centre in 2002, will assist in realising optimal returns from each of these centres through future development.

Outlook

We expect the current high level of retail turnover growth to slow in 2003, reflecting an expected softening in the housing sector, which should temper demand for household durables. and historically low household saving ratios which limit further spending growth. However, the slowing in turnover growth is not expected to be severe with a strong domestic economy, high level of employment, real wage growth and relatively lowinterest rates all providing a positive influence.

Although rental growth in the short term for the market generally is likely to be subdued, the low level of occupancy costs across GPT's shopping centres compared to industry benchmarks provides opportunity for the Portfolio. The Retail Portfolio will also benefit from the first full year of income from the Moorabbin and Fortítude Valley Homemaker assets, the full income from Penrith Plaza and the recently completed development at Sunshine Plaza. The significant development program underway, planned future developments and opportunities in the Homemaker Portfolio will underpin further earnings growth for the Trust.

Office Portfollo

Office Portfollo Value by state

Office Portfolio Lease Expiry by Area

GPT's Office Portfolio is spread across four capital cities and comprises over 420,000m2 of office space and over 20,000m2 of associated retail space. With a value of over \$2.5 billion, GPT's office property portfolio is the largest of any listed property trust in Australia.

Comprehensive information about each of the office assets is contained on pages 24 to 27.

Performance

Income

During 2002 the Portfolio increased income by 13.7%, up-\$22.7 million. Key contributors to this increased income were:

  • significant leasing across the Portfolio, with 12.3% of the Portfolío leased or renewed over 2002;
  • an increase in income from the Citigroup Centre at 2 Park. Street in Sydney, which was acquired with a vacancy of 11% in December 2001 and progressively leased over 2002, to close the year 98% leased;
  • leasing successes at the Riverside Centre (Brisbane), resulting in a reduction in vacancy over 2002 - from 7% to only 2%; and
  • increases in rents across a number of assets. Major increases were achieved at 530 Collins Street (Melbourne), the Riverside Centre (Brisbane) and the MLC Centre (Sydney).

Valuations

Australia Square, the Riverside Centre, Black Ink House and Brisbane Transit Centre were revalued during 2002. Whilst Australia Square's valuation increased by \$10.4 million. reduced valuations for the Riverside Centre, Black Ink House and Brisbane Transit Centre, due to increased incentive levels across the Brisbane office market, resulted in a net reduction in reserves (of \$21.5 million).

Rent Reviews

During 2002, GPT achieved reviews generally in line with forecasts, despite the softening in the office markets. This softening is likely to moderate rental growth in the short term, however GPT's Portfolio retains good opportunities for growth, with 23% of the Portfolio subject to predetermined. rental increases.

Leasing

Leasing was active in 2002, with 75,000m2 leased or renewed in the 12 months to December 2002. This is an impressive result, given the relatively flat leasing market for most of the year. GPT's Office Portfolio ended the year with only 13,000m2. representing 3% of the office space, vacant. The majority of this space is in the Trust's preferred market of Sydney, which has a stronger growth outlook.

Key Activities

During 2002, GPT continued its focus on intensive management of the Portfolio to maintain high levels of occupancy, a balanced expiry profile and diversity and security of income.

Significant leasing successes were achieved across the Portfolio. In particular, major leases were signed with Freehills. at the MLC Centre, securing their 17,300m2 tenure until 2013. and Fairfax at Darling Park, securing income over 17,200m2 until 2017. The resulting average period to expiry of 5.3 years, high occupancy (of 97%) and limited expiry over the medium term, positions the Portfolio for stable and secure income.

Construction began on the new corporate headquarters for Global Wealth Management, a division of the National Australia Bank (The National) at Victoria Harbour in Melbourne. The construction of two high-technology campus-style buildings. is scheduled for completion in 2003 and 2004 respectively and is anticipated to cost \$242 million. The National will take a 12-year lease over each building on completion, ensuring there is no vacancy risk and providing an initial yield of 8%.

Opportunities have been progressed to maintain the attractiveness to tenants of the Office Portfolio's assets, including:

  • Planning for approximately \$5.5 million (GPT's 50% share) of upgrading at Australia Square (Sydney), including the exterior of the Plaza Building, the finishes of the Plaza and surrounding areas and the Tower lobby in preparation for a major leasing campaign for Lend Lease's current space, the majority of which will become vacant at the end of 2003.
  • Works have also been approved at Melbourne Central -where, in conjunction with a major redevelopment of the retail complex, \$5.5 million will be spent enhancing the lobby and street presence of the office building and improving the connection to the retail component of the building.
  • Longer term, GPT retains the ability to develop a new office tower above the Lonsdale Street retail at Melbourne-Central. The development, which would only be undertaken with an appropriate pre-commitment, provides an attractive opportunity to develop a high quality asset at a very competitive cost.

GPT's Office Portfolio has occupancy of 97% and is let to a wide range of blue chip tenants. The Portfolio has a weighted average unexpired lease term of 5.3 years and weighted average age of building services of 7.6 years. The long unexpired lease term indicates the security of the income stream from this Portfolio, while a low average age of building services means a limited. requirement for capital expenditure across the Portfolio.

Outkode

The outlook for office markets remains subdued in the short term with tenant demand for office space expected to gather momentum towards the end of 2003. Improving business confidence domestically and an expected recovery in the international economic climate will assist office market fundamentals in the medium term.

The current development phase across each market will determine the extent to which investors benefit from a recovery in demand, with markets such as the Melbourne-CBD at greater risk of excess supply, whilst new supply inthe Sydney CBD is likely to be more restrained. Further downward pressure on market rents could be evident in the form of rising lease incentives in markets that experience supply in excess of demand.

GPT's Office Portfolio however, remains well positioned. with the opportunity to capture rental growth through predetermined increases under structured leases acrossapproximately 23% of the Portfolio and limited vacancy and short-term expiry (largely located in the Sydney market).

AUSTRALIA SQUARE

One of Sydney's most enduring prime CBD office properties. Australia Square is situated in the heart of Sydney's financial district. The complex comprises a 48-level circular Tower and the smaller 13-fevel Plaza Building. The external Plaza courtyard is a feature of this landmark building.

Hotel/Tourism Portfolio

The Hotel/Tourism Portfolio's mission is to "Enhance investor returns through the ownership of quality hotel assets located in growth markets
and which have a distinct competitive advantage."

Rest of World

ueder Other Asia

International Visitor Arrivals to Australia

GPT's Hotel/Tourism Portfolio is fundamentally a very sound one. The major assets have now been significantly refurbished and are positioned well within their individual markets. Whilst international tourism has continued to be subdued over 2002, signs of recovery are beginning to be evident and we remain confident that markets will ultimately recover and provide solid growth prospects.

We continue to look for investment opportunities in the hotel sector, which will add value for investors and complement the existing Portfolio. Our main investment focus is on core investments that represent quality hotels in major business. or tourism destinations and smaller scale eco-tourism investments that demonstrate 'unique' environmental attributes and can leverage off the scale and success of GPT's major eco-tourism asset, Ayers Rock Resort.

Performance

Income

During 2002 the Portfolio increased income by 10.5%, up-\$4.4 million. Key contributors to this increased income were:

  • an increase in income from Avers Rock Resort up 8%. reflecting increased revenues from the asset (up \$7.5 millíon) and an increase in base rent;
  • improved income from the Pour Points by Sheraton Hotel $\overline{a}$ Svanev, which increased income by 17%, due mainly to enhanced revenue (up almost \$3.3 million); and
  • the addition of the Cape Tribulation Resorts in March 2002.

Valuations

The Four Points by Sheraton Hotel and Holiday Inn Brisbane were valued during the year. A small reduction in value of both assets resulted in a net reduction in reserves (\$0.9 million).

Occupancy and Room Rates

Despite the disruption to world travel over the last 15 months, Ayers Rock Resort continued to trade well in 2002. This illustrates the strong appeal of both the Resort and Central Australia as unique tourist destinations. Overall room nights sold fell slightly during 2002 (down 2%), and occupancy also decreased slightly, adjusting for the increased room stock. Room rates, however, increased compared to 2001 (up 9%).

The Four Points by Sheraton increased its room nights sold. and its occupancy level rose to 76% (up 11%). The average room rate, due to competitive pressures, fell marginally from 2001, to \$139.

At the Holiday Inn, Brisbane occupancy was slightly downon last year due to the absence of previous one-off events, but room rate increased.

The Cape Tribulation Resorts, acquired in March 2002, are yet to be refurbished and both occupancy and room rates remain steady, at 39% and \$145 respectively.

Kev Activities

Key activities across the Portfolio included:

  • A \$60 million refurbishment and expansion at Ayers Rock. Resort was completed in August 2002. The works have revitalised the Resort's accommodation, allowing it to cater to growing demand and positioning it for further incomegrowth. A highlight of the expansion was the creation of Longitude 131", a high quality wildemess camp. This is a new experiential tourist product in Australia modelled on similar successful products in southern Africa. The campcomprises 15 stand-alone 'tents', each with unobstructed views of Uluru. The camp is an exciting new addition and enhances what is already a unique tourism experience.
  • The Four Points by Sheraton Hotel has continued its room. refurbishment and 80% of the rooms are now complete. The Hotel is progressively building its reputation (due to refurbishment and rebranding) and is in a position to fully. capitalise on the market's recovery.
  • GPT acquired Coconut Beach Rainforest Resort, Ferntree Rainforest Resort, the Jungle Lodge (backpackers and campground) and associated facilities at Cape Tribulation in March 2002. The assets are located on almost 100 hectares of scarce freehold and perpetual leasehold land at Cape Tribulation, 140 kilometres north of Caims. The acquisition seeks to leverage the benefits of also owning Avers Rock Resort by utilising the marketing synergies available through Voyages Hotels & Resorts, the operator of both Avers Rock Resort and the Cape Tribulation Resorts. The assets, which were trading at low levels of occupancy when acquired, provide an excellent opportunity to significantly. improve performance and income. An upgrade of the accommodation (at a cost of approximately \$6 million) is underway and due to be complete in April 2003.

Outlook

The tourism sector faces a challenging environment in the near term. Political and economic conditions internationally have seen inbound tourism numbers to Australia reduce in 2002 and continued uncertainty regarding conflict with fraqand the perceived security risks in the region may delay further recovery in the short term.

The Tourism Porecasting Council reduced its long-term. forecasts for inbound tourism growth in December 2002, from 7% to 5% a year over the next ten years (as shown in the graph on page 28). Despite the recent market dynamics. Australia has a unique tourist product in the world market; it has an incredible number of attractive destinations and is well. priced, safe and effectively promoted. These factors should underpin a return to growth in inbound tourism over the medium term.

In the longer term, the fundamentals of the tourism markets in which GPT's hotel/tourism assets are located and the quality of GPT's assets, as well as future investment opportunities, should underpin strong long-term prospects for the Portfolio.

AYERS ROCK RESORT

Ayers Rock Resort was the Trust's first major investment in the tourism property sector. The Resort is unique due to its extraordinary location adiacent to the world heritage listed Uluru-Kata Tista National Park and some 18 kilometres north-west of Ultim. It is the only resort within several hundred kilometres of this tourism icon.

The Resort, located on 94 square kitometres of freehold land, provides a complete range of tourist accommodation from deluxe hotels through to campground facilities. A major refurbishment and expansion program, which included the construction of 15 Laxury Wilderness Camp Tents was completed in July 2002, further enhancing and diversifying the accommodation product on offer. The Resort also includes a visitors centre, a shopping square and the Uluru Meeting Place, a wellequipped conference centre with a 300-seat capacity.

Alice Springs Resort, the leasehold interest in Ayers Rock Airport and a loan to Voyages Hotels and Resorts Pty Limited also form part of this asset.

HOLLAND IN SACTION AND LANDING

Industrial/Business Park Portfolio Value by State

Industrial/Business Park Portfolio Lease Expiry by Area

GPT again expanded its Industrial/Business Park Portfolio during 2002, increasing the value of the Portfolio to \$204 million. The Portfolio now consists of: the Citiwest Industrial Estate in Melbourne; and in Sydney, a warehouse and distribution facility at Kings Park; 11 Grand Avenue, Camellia; two warehouse and office facilities at Berry Street, Granville; and the Quad and Samsung Buildings at Homebush Bay.

GPT is focussed on owning and developing industrial and business park assets that are:

  • modern and focated near major transport nodes;
  • adaptable, with good technical services; $\ddot{\phantom{0}}$
  • leased to good quality tenants; and $\overline{a}$
  • have a multitude of uses (and hence possible tenants).

This strategy increases the Portfolio's income security, as the assets are not specialised and are suitable for a large number of tenant types.

Performance

Despite a slowing economy, the Industrial/Business Park Portfolio achieved earnings growth in 2002. Portfolio income increased by over 22% over the past 12 months (to \$13.3 million).

Key contributors included:

  • the Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd's warehouse and office facility at 11 Grand Avenue, Camellía, completed in October 2002:
  • Quad 2 at Homebush Bay, completed in March 2002 and now 93% leased: and
  • the Samsung Building at 7 Parkview Drive, acquired in May 2002 on a first year yield of 9% (after acquisition costs).

Rent Reviews

During 2002, GPT achieved rents generally in line with forecasts. Although moderate rental growth is anticipated in the short term, GPT's Portfolio retains good opportunities for growth, with 90% of the Portfolio subject to predetermined. rental increases.

Leasino

No major lease expiries occurred during 2002, and 4,800m2 was leased at Quad 2 in the 12 months to December 2002.

The Portfolio retains high occupancy (of 95%) and a long average lease term of 5.6 years.

Key Activities

During 2002 the Portfolio was expanded with:

  • The completion of Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd's 29,500m2 warehouse and office facility at 11 Grand Avenue, Camellía, Construction, which began in October 2001, was completed in October 2002, and API are nowoccupying the facility.
  • The acquisition of Quad 2 at Homebush Bay, the second stage of a four-stage integrated Business Park development. The building consists of 5,000m2 of office space over three levels and was completed in March 2002. The building is now 93% occupied.

The acquisition of 7 Parkview Drive at Homebush Bay in Svdney. The asset, which adioins GPT's Quad site in the Olympic Park precinct, is a modern high-tech office and warehouse facility, which is fully leased to Samsung Electronics Australia Pty Ltd, GPT acquired the asset, which includes approximately one hectare of surplus land, for \$16.1 million (including acquisition costs) on an initial vield of 9% (excluding the value of the surplus (and). The acquisition, together with the development potential of the Quad sites, gives GPT the ability to create a \$100 million business park in the growing Homebush Bay precinct.

Stage 2 of 11 Grand Avenue, Camellía was commenced in December 2002. The building, which is already 43% leased, is due to be complete in September 2003.

Outlook

Strong investor demand for industrial property is expected to see yields remain tight across most markets in the short to medium term despite recent weakness in tenant demand. Rental growth is likely to remain subdued in the short term prior. to an expected pick up in demand towards the end of 2003. Sydney remains the most attractive market within the Industrial and Business Park sector due to its size and diversity of tenants.

Although demand for industrial space has eased in line with a slowing economy, the Portfolio has a long average lease term to expiry of 5.6 years and strong tenant covenants. Structured rent reviews across 90% of the Portfolio and the first full year. of income from Australian Pharmaceuticals' facility at Camellia and Quad 2 and the Samsung Building at Homebush Bay will contribute to future performance.

Top 10 Tenants by Gross Property Income
(represents 23% of GPT's Total Gross Property Income)

GPT aims to keep unitholders informed about environmental initiatives in each of its portfolios and is committed to ensuring that its assets are managed in a responsible manner that is sensitive to the environment. Within each property portfolio, property managers are required to have a program
for managing environmental risk. The programs are tailored to each sector and require defined objectives and targets, reports on current initiatives and planned initiatives and monitoring via regular external audits.

This Report provides examples of some of the initiatives being undertaken across each of GPT's property portfolios.

Retail Portfolio Initiatives

The Lend Lease Retail Group manages the GPT portfolio of shopping centres, in the Retail Portfolio each centre has contínued to focus on waste recycling programs, however this year a major focus has been on Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) initiatives in developments underway at Floreat Forum in Perth and Erina Fair on the NSW Central Coast.

The redevelopment of Floreat Forum incorporates the use of a simple ventilation method. Perth has a hot dry summer, with low humidity, so there was an opportunity to provide cooling in the common areas of the shopping centre with the introduction of 'Shower Towers'. Shower Towers use simple evaporative cooling principles, and provide:

  • increased fresh air movement and thermal comfort for customers;
  • increased energy efficiency; and
  • cost-efficiency. j,

We believe this method, which was developed in the US a number of years ago, has been used in Australia only once before and this is the first time it has been applied to a retail environment.

At Erina Fair, the higher level of humidity meant that 'Shower Towers' were not an optimal solution, however displacement ventilation, another environmentally friendly cooling method, has been applied in the design of the Eatery. The method involves introducing fresh air at floor level and as the air gets warmer, it rises. Whilst this simple solution provides a comfortable temperature most of the time, on the hottest days it is supplemented by a cooling coil under the floor. This conventional element was achieved with a relatively small capital cost and is expected to be required only on a dozen days in any typical year. Like the 'Shower Tower' concept, this form of ventilation will generate significant reductions in energy use.

Another simple concept that has been refined for use in the Eatery at Erina Fair, is a shading system that maximises the use of natural light. This system complements and optimises the use of natural ventifation. The concept allows for natural light, but to avoid too much light and heat, a carefully designed fixed shading system allows more sun to enter the roof structure at different times of the day. This optimises the sunlight in the morning and afternoon, whilst limiting sunlight in the hottest part of the day.

Office Portfolio Initiatives

GPT's office assets are managed by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL). JLL has participated in an internally managed Greenhouse Gas reduction program with some of GPT's major office buildings. since 1999 and have delivered significant and measurable results. The bar graph below indicates the reduction in the level of Greenhouse Gas Emission against the target for each period. For 2002 the buildings achieved a 16.3% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions against a reduction target of 10% (by July 2002). Since our last report. GPT and JLL have submitted a final report to the Greenhouse Office to develop an ongoing greenhouse gas reduction program across GPT's office properties.

Office Greenhouse Gas Emissions

As indicated in last year's Environmental Report, most buildings are recycling paper and cardboard, and Australia Square in particular has a very active program. JLL are currently developing a program to rollout the initiatives from Australia Square to other properties in the Portfolio.

The Australia Square Waste Minimisation Project has resulted in tenants now recycling 94% of the total paper they discard and the building has achieved BEST PRACTICE IN THE SYDNEY CBD (Waste Audit Consultancy Services (NSW) Pty Ltd - June 2002). Since Australia Square's last waste audit in December 2000 the amount of paper recycled has increased by 89.35 kilograms per day. As it takes approximately one tree to manufacture 84 kilograms of paper, one extra tree a day survives. At Australia Square non-recyclable waste has also been reduced by 10.3% in 2002 compared to an 8% reduction in 2001. As new systems and contractors are introduced to increase recycling, the downward trend should accelerate. JLL recently finalised a contract with Visy Industries for the removal of all recyclable product from Australia Square; le Visy will take glass, plastic milk cartons, cans as well as paper, at no charge, which will reduce the waste to landfill even more.

Another environmental initiative for the Office Portfolio has been the continued work with SEDA, the Sustainable Energy Development Authority, SEDA has developed a Building Greenhouse Rating Scheme to rate the energy efficiency of office buildings. GPT, through JLL, had the Sydney office. assets assessed and rated when the scheme was first introduced. Since then, SEDA has extended the program to other capital cities and the relevant GPT office assets in these cities have now been assessed and rated.

Building Greenhouse Ratings are on a star basis as follows:

1 star Poor: Poor energy management or
outdated systems
2 stars ** Good: Average building performance
3 stars $\star \star \star$ Very Good: Current market best practice
4 stars $\star \star \star \star$ Excellent: Strong performance
5 stars . ★★★★★ Exceptional: Best building performance

The assessment of the office space component of each asset is very detailed and involves analysis of all forms of energy used, the structure and services of the asset, and the patterns of use of the asset by the tenants. GPT's office assets are rated as follows:

Office Asset SEDA Rating
Australia Square Tower ***
Australia Square Plaza ****
HSBC Centre ***
Darling Park Tower 1 ****
Dading Park Tower 2 ***
Melbourne Central Tower **
530 Collins Street **
Riverside Centre ***
10 Mort Street ***
12 Mort Street ****

The MLC Centre, Brisbane Transit Centre and 179 Elizabeth Street could not be rated under the SEDA scheme as they are either mixed-use assets or have shared services. In many cases the patterns of use by tenants, such as extended hours. of operation and supply of chilled water after hours materially impacted on the rating.

The findings from the processes involved in determining the ratings has been used to identify issues which need to be further investigated and resolved so that the ratings for several properties can be improved over the next 12 to 24 months.

The construction of the National at Victoria Harbour is targeting a SEDA rating of 4 stars as part of the design specification.

Industrial/Business Park Portfolio Initiatives

Broad based environmental programs are difficult to implement across the Industrial/Business Park Portfolio, as daily operations such as cleaning, waste removal and electricity consumption. are controlled by tenants, not JLL or GPT.

During 2002, construction of the first stage of 11 Grand Avenue Camellia was completed. Environmental initiatives adopted included:

  • during construction, a total of some 15,000 cubic metres of demolition material was reused in the earthworks and roadworks components of the development and a further 1,500 cubic metres of general building waste was separated for recycling (represents a recycling rate of approximately 80% of all waste materials).
  • sedimentation controls, runoff collection ponds and remediation procedures were initiated to protect the adjoining Parramatta River and mangroves from any adverse impacts. All runoff water collected in the special containment ponds was subsequently reused in onsite dust suppression operations.

Hotel/Tourism Portfolio Initiatives

In the GPT Hotel/Tourism Portfolio, the major asset, Ayers Rock Resort, plays an integral part in environmental initiatives.

Avers Rock Resort is located adjacent to the unique World Heritage listed Uluru-Kata Tiuta National Park. The Resort is managed by Voyages Hotels and Resorts, which has a detailed and expanding Environmental Management Plan in place to minimise environmental impacts.

In 2002, construction of the luxury wilderness camp tents, known as Longitude 131", was completed in accordance with the approval conditions set by Environment Australia under the

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. This was the first Resort development to be approved under this Act. To achieve the conditions of the approval the construction site, roads and paths were completely fenced off and all work was contained to this area. Construction workers were inducted on the strict requirements to stay within the restricted area in order to minimise disturbance to land and vegetation. The overall design is sympathetic to the environmentally sensitive design of Avers Rock Resort and includes:

  • solar water heating;
  • pre-fabricated construction techniques;
  • thermal insulation:
  • minimal landscaping (with native species);
  • tent positioning to reduced thermal loads; and
  • cold storage of refuse and recycling of some waste streams.

Other initiatives across the Resort include:

  • A study being conducted on the Dune Plains Aquifer, which provides all water to the Resort, to determine the capacity, recharge and sustainability of this water supply. Supported by Ultriu-Kata Tiuta National Park, Power and Water Corporation and Avers Rock Resort, the independent study will be completed in early 2003.
  • Recycling programs are continually expanding at the Resort and the volume of glass recycled increased by 18% in 2002. (to 102 tonnes), with cardboard recycling increasing by 8% (to 71 tonnes). A further 10% increase is targeted for 2003.
  • Eleven square kilometres of Resort land been set aside as a Mulgara Conservation Zone. This area provides a protected environment for rare and endangered species.

Many of these guidelines now form part of the CLERP 9 reforms to the Corporations Act.

The GPT Split Trust was established in 1984 for the benefit of unitholders who wanted to invest in units with either an incomeor growth orientation. The underlying investment of the Split-Trust is GPT Units and thus the investment in a broad portfolio. of significant Australian retail, office, industrial/business park and hotel/tourism properties. For each GPT Unit held by the Split Trust there is one Income Unit and one Growth Unit. The distributions for the Split Trust units are based on those of GPT Units. The Income Units and Growth Units of the Split Trust are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Distributions

The Income Unit receives the first nine cents of the GPT unit's distribution for each six monthly distribution, plus 25% of the excess. For 2002, Income Units received a distribution of 18.60 cents per unit, an increase on the previous year's distribution of 18,425 cents. The price of an Income Unit increased, from \$2.45 at the end of December 2001 to \$2.52. at the close of 2002.

The Growth Unit receives 75% of the amount of the GPT Unit's six-monthly distribution above nine cents. It can be seen from the table below that when the income for GPT Units is greater, Growth Units receive a greater percentage of the distribution, ie, they benefit from growth in distributions. Conversely, when the distribution from GPT Units is lower, the Growth Units receive a smaller percentage.

For 2002. Growth Units received a distribution of 1.80 cents. per unit, an increase on the previous vear's distribution of 1.275 cents and their price increased from 36.5 cents at 31 December 2001 to 37.5 cents at 31 December 2002.

Performance

The GPT Split Trust was created at a time when there was demand to split income from growth during the period of higher inflation in the 1980's. There was a desire on the part of a number of unitholders to defer tax in favour of accumulation in capital values. However, since that time, there has been a dramatic change in economic and market conditions. The decline in rental growth and the significant reduction in the value of office property in the early 1990's reduced distributions. to Growth Units by a greater proportion than it did to Income-Units. The changes in the economy and market, particularly the advent of a low inflation environment, also dampened the expectations of future distribution growth for Growth Units.

1. Summary of accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation This general purpose financial report for the financial year ended 31. December 2002 has been prepared in accordance with the Trust Constitution, Accounting Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia. It is prepared on the basis of the going concern and 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 to the extent that General Property Trust property investments have been revalued. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year unless otherwise specified. Comparative information has been reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated Financial Statements incorporate all the assets, liabilities and net operating results of the controlled entities. General Property Trust ('GPT') and its controlled entities together are referred to in this Financial Report as, the Trust. The effects of all transactions between controlled entities in the Trust have been eliminated in full.

Certain property investments are held via joint ownership arrangements (refer Note 23). These joint ownership arrangements include the ownership of units in single purpose unlisted trusts over which GPT exercises significant influence but does not control ('Associates').

The Trust has adopted the equity method of accounting for its property investments held via Associates in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 1016: Accounting for Investments in Associates. The Responsible Entity believes that including this information in the Trust Investment Properties note (Note 6) appropriately reflects the nature and substance of the Trust's operations.

(c) Accounting for acquisitions

On the acquisition of property trusts, the fair value of the consideration is compared with the fair value of the assets acquired. Any discount or goodwill arising on acquisition is accounted for in accordance with AASB 1013; Accounting for Goodwill.

(d) Investment properties

The Trust Compliance Plan requires that all Trust property investments be valued at intervals of not more than three years and that such valuations be reflected in the Financial Report of the Trust. It is the policy of the Responsible Entity to review the carrying value of each property every six months. Independent valuations of the individual investments are carried out each three years in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Trust Constitution, or earlier where the Responsible Entity believes there may be a material change in the carrying value of the property.

A revaluation increment is credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, unless it is reversing a previous decrement charged as an expense in the Statements of Financial Performance in respect of that same class of assets, in which case the increment is credited to the Statements of Financial Performance.

A revaluation decrement is recognised as an expense in the Statements of Financial Performance, unless it is reversing a revaluation increment previously credited to, and still included in the balance of, the asset revaluation reserve in respect of that same class of assets, in which case it is debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.

Some property investments are held through the ownership of units in single purpose unlisted trusts where GPT exerts significant influence but does not have a controlling interest. The Trust has adopted the equity method for these Associates (refer Note 1(b)). The property and other property related net assets of the Associates have been disclosed separately in Note 6.

Interests held by GPT in controlled trusts and associated trusts are brought to account at valuation based on the net tangible asset backing at the end of each quarter.

Land and buildings have the function of an investment and are regarded as a composite asset. The applicable Accounting Standards do not require that investment properties be depreciated. Accordingly, the buildings and any component thereof (including plant and equipment) are not depreciated.

Expenses capitalised to properties may include the cost of acquisition, additions, refurbishments, redevelopments, borrowing costs and fees incurred.

$\Box$ Summary of accounting policies (Continued) $\Box$
(e) Financial instruments
Bank bill and money market investments are reported at historic cost. As it is the intention to hold these instruments
to maturity they are not revalued to market. Interest accrued at balance date is included in the accounts as a receivable.
Interest rate swaps may be entered into to protect the Trust from variable interest rates. These transactions are accounted
for on an accruals basis over the life of the facility that they are hedging. The Trust has classified as current liabilities short
term note borrowings and medium term notes expiring within one year, notwithstanding that the Trust may hedge the
interest rate exposure beyond one year and the fact that the Trust maintains stand-by facilities to provide liquidity backup
-for the short term/medium term note programme as described in Note 20.
وأيهود وأربعه وأريب ومحا
(f) Revenue
secondary and the second
Revenue from rents and interest is brought to account on an accruals basis. Revenue not received at balance date is
included in the accounts as a receivable. The Trust's proportionate share of net operating results of Associates is included
in the net income available for distribution when earned. Such income has been separately disclosed in the Statements
-of Financial Performance
(g) Expenditure
Expenditure, including rates, taxes, interest and other outgoings is brought to account on an accruais basis.
{h} Income tax …
Under current tax legislation the Trust is not liable for income tax, provided its taxable income and taxable realised gains
are fully distributed to Unitholders each year.

The Financial Report of the Trust has been prepared in accordance with Class Order 98/0100 issued by the Australian
Securities & Investments Commission, relating to the 'rounding off' of amounts in the Financial Report to the nearest
itenth of a million dollars, unless otherwise stated. Amounts have been rounded off in the Financial Report in accordance
with that Class Order.

Independent audit report to the unitholders of General Property Trust

Matters relating to the electronic presentation of the audited financial report

This audit report relates to the financial report of General Property Trust ("the Trust") for the financial year ended 31 December 2002 included on General Property Trust's web site. The directors of GPT Management Limited (the :Responsible Entity') are responsible for the integrity of the General Property Trust web site. We have not been engaged to report on the integrity of this web site. The audit report refers only to the financial report identified below. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyperlinked

to/from the financial report. If users of this report are concerned with the inherent risks arising from electronic data communications they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the audited financial report to confirm the information included in the audited financial report presented on this web site.

Audit opinion

In our opinion, the financial report, set out on pages $51$ to $77$ :

  • presents a true and fair view, as required by the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia, of the financial position of General Property Trust and the General Property Trust Group (defined below) as at 31 December 2002 and of their performance for the year ended on that date
  • is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory
  • professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

This opinion must be read in conjunction with the following explanation of the scope and summary of our role as auditor.

Scope and summary of our role

The financial report - responsibility and content The preparation of the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2002 is the responsibility of the directors of GPT Management Limited (the 'Responsible Entity'). It includes the financial statements for General Property Trust ('the Trust') and for the General Property Trust Group ('the Group'), which incorporates General Property Trust and the entities it controlled during the year ended 31 December 2002.

The auditor's role and work

We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the Unitholders of the Trust. Our role was to conduct the audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by the directors or management.

In conducting the audit, we carried out a number of procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly a view in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001, which is consistent with our understanding of the Trust's and the Group's financial position, and their performance as represented by the results of their operations and eash flows. The procedures included:

  • selecting and examining evidence, on a test basis, to support amounts and disclosures in the financial report. This included testing, as required by auditing standards, certain internal controls, transactions and individual items. We did not examine every item of available evidence (signal)
  • evaluating the accounting policies applied and significant accounting estimates made by the directors in their preparation of the financial report
  • obtaining written confirmation regarding material representations made to us in connection with the audit
  • reviewing the overall presentation of information in the financial report.

Our audit opinion was formed on the basis of these procedures.

Independence

As auditor, we are required to be independent of the Group and free of interests which could be incompatible with integrity and objectivity. In respect of this engagement, we followed the independence requirements set out by The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, the Corporations Act 2001 and the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. In addition to our statutory audit work, we were engaged to undertake other services for the Group. These services are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements. In our opinion the provision of these services has not impaired our independence.
