Following stapled securityholders' approval on 15 November 2012, the Company has reallocated capital to the Trust by reducing the Company's share capital by A\$500,300,000 and applying that amount as additional capital to the Trust. This capital reallocation did not affect the number of shares on issue nor the number of units held by each securityholder and did not result in any cash distribution to members.

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Rule 12 of the Constitution also permits the Responsible Entity to purchase and maintain insurance or pay or agree to pay a premium for insurance for Officers against any liability incurred as an officer of the Company or of a related body corporate.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Lend Lease Trust ('the Trust') is domiciled in Australia.

Lend Lease Corporation Limited ('the Company') acquired 100% of the Trust on 2 October 2009. Following shareholders' approval on 12 November 2009, the units in the Trust were distributed as an 'in specie' dividend to the shareholders. The shares of the Company and the units in the Trust were combined as stapled securities and from 13 November 2009 have been traded as one security under the name of Lend Lease Group on the Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX').

Following stapled securityholders' approval on 15 November 2012, the Company has reallocated capital to the Trust by reducing the Company's share capital by A\$500,300,000 and applying that amount as additional capital to the Trust. This capital reallocation did not affect the number of shares on issue nor the number of units held by each securityholder and did not result in any cash distribution to members.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 23 August 2013.

1.1 Statement of Compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

1.2 Basis of Preparation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and is prepared under the historical cost basis.

The preparation of a financial report that complies with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all financial years.

1.3 Impact of New/Revised Accounting Standards

New and Revised Accounting Standards

From 1 July 2012 the Group has adopted AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income.

The change relates only to disclosures and had no impact on earnings per unit or net profit. The changes have been applied retrospectively and require the Trust to separately present those items of other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that will never be reclassified to profit or loss.

From 1 July 2012 the Trust has also adopted AASB 2010- 8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets. The changes had no significant impact on the Group's assessment of deferred taxes.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 but are available for early adoption and have not been applied in preparing this report.

The potential effect of these is outlined below:

− AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (September 2012).

These standards address the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The potential effect of this standard is yet to be determined.

  • AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements introduces a new definition of control and addresses whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company.
  • AASB 11 Joint Arrangements establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement.

The Trust's assessment of the impact of AASB 10 and AASB 11 indicates that the application of these standards is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Trust's financial position and performance.

– AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities relates to disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Application of this standard will not affect amounts recognised in the financial statements, however it will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the Trust's investments.

1. Significant Accounting Policies continued

1.3 Impact of New/Revised Accounting Standards continued

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted continued

  • AASB 13 Fair Value Measurements and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 introduce new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements when fair value is permitted by accounting standards. Application of this standard will not affect amounts recognised in the financial statements, however it will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the fair value hierarchy.

The standards above become mandatory for the June 2014 financial year, with the exception of AASB 9 which will apply to the June 2016 financial year. With the exception of AASB 13, which applies prospectively, the standards are to be applied retrospectively.

1.4 Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when the amount can be reliably measured and future economic benefits will flow to the Trust.

Finance Revenue

Finance revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

1.5 Income Tax

Under current Australian income tax legislation the Trust is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, to the extent that unitholders are presently entitled to the taxable income of the Trust.

1.6 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, bank overdrafts and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash within three months and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts (if applicable) are shown as a current liability on the Statement Financial Position and are shown as a reduction to the cash balance in the Statement of Cash Flows.

1.7 Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Trust will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and fair value, which is estimated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

1.8 Equity Accounted Investments (Associates and Joint Venture Entities)

Investments in associates and joint venture entities are accounted for using the equity method. Associates (including partnerships) are entities in which the Trust, as a result of its voting rights, has significant influence, but not control, over financial and operating policies. A joint venture entity is an entity which has a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to joint control.

The financial statements include the Trust's share of the total recognised gains or losses of associates and joint venture entities on an equity accounted basis. For associates, this is from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases, and for joint venture entities, this is from the date joint control commences until the date joint control ceases. Other movements in associates' and joint venture entities' reserves are recognised directly in reserves. Investments in associates and joint venture entities are carried at the lower of the equity accounted carrying amount and the recoverable amount.

When the Trust's share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the equity accounted investment (including assets that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture entity), the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Trust has recourse to obligations in respect of the associate or joint venture entity. Dividends from associates and joint venture entities represent a return on the Trust's investment and as such are applied as a reduction to the carrying value of the investment. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investments are eliminated against the investment in the associate or joint venture entity to the extent of the Trust's interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

1.9 Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Trust. Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost or at cost when the impact of discounting would be immaterial.

Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless there is an unconditional contractual right for the Trust to defer payment for at least 12 months from the reporting date.

1.10 Issued Capital

Ordinary units are classified as equity. When issued capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a change in equity. Distributions are recognised as a liability in the financial year in which they are declared.

1. Significant Accounting Policies continued

1.11 Earnings Per Unit

Basic earnings per unit ('EPU') is determined by dividing profit/(loss) after tax attributable to the unitholders of the Trust, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary units, by the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary units issued during the financial year.

Diluted EPU is determined by adjusting the profit/(loss) after tax attributable to the unitholders of the Trust and the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary units.

1.12 Goods and Services Tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ('GST'), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office ('ATO') is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

2. Distributions

The total distributions for the year ended 30 June 2013 were A\$6,588,864 (June 2012: A\$nil). Distributions of A\$886,990 were paid on 27 March 2013. The remaining distributions of A\$5,701,874 were provided for as at 30 June 2013 and will be paid on 27 September 2013.

Issuance of Securities

Following stapled securityholders' approval on 15 November 2012, the Company has reallocated capital to the Trust by reducing the Company's share capital by A\$500,300,000 and applying that amount as additional capital to the Trust. This capital reallocation did not affect the number of shares on issue nor the number of units held by each securityholder in Lend Lease Group and did not result in any cash distribution to members.

Security Accumulation Plans

The Distribution Reinvestment Plan ('DRP') was reactivated in February 2011. The last date for receipt of an election notice for participation in the DRP is 11 September 2013. The issue price is the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of Lend Lease stapled securities traded (on the Australian Securities Exchange) for the period of seven consecutive business days immediately following the record date for determining entitlements to distribution. If that price is less than 50 cents, the issue price will be 50 cents. Stapled securities issued under the DRP rank equally with all other stapled securities on issue.

Terms and Conditions

A stapled security represents one share in the Company stapled to one unit in the Trust.

Stapled securityholders have the right to receive declared dividends from the Company and distributions from the Trust and are entitled to one vote per stapled security at securityholders' meetings. Ordinary stapled securityholders rank after all creditors in repayment of capital.

Sensitivity Analysis

At 30 June 2013 it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in interest rates would have increased the Trust's profit before tax by approximately A\$1,832,018 (June 2012: A\$385). A one percentage decrease would have an equal and opposite effect on equity and profit or loss. The increase or decrease in interest income/expense is proportional to the increase or decrease in interest rates.

The Trust's exposure to interest rate risk on financial instruments is set out below, the Trust has no fixed rate instruments.

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Lend Lease Trust (the Trust), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, notes 1 to 13 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of Lend Lease Responsible Entity Limited (the Responsible Entity of the Trust) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In note 1, the directors of the Responsible Entity also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply 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.

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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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.

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Trust's financial position and of its performance.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
