Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
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') and the New Zealand Stock Exchange ('NZX').
The half year financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 20 February 2012.
1.1 Statement of Compliance
The half year financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001. The half year financial report of the Trust also complies with the recognition and measurement requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The half year financial report should be read in conjunction with the 30 June 2011 annual financial report and any public announcements by the Trust during the half year in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001. The half year financial report does not include all of the information required for a full financial report.
1.2 Basis of Preparation
The half year financial report is presented in Australian Dollars and is prepared under the historical cost basis.
The preparation of an interim report that complies with AASB 134 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 are consistent with those applied in the 30 June 2011 annual financial report.
2. Distributions
No distributions were paid or declared during the period to December 2011 or up to the date of this report.

Independent auditor's review report to the members of Lend Lease Trust
Report on the financial report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Lend Lease Trust (the Trust), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 3 I December 20 II, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, notes I to 6 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.
Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of Lend Lease Responsible Entity Limited, the Responsible Entity for the Lend Lease Trust (the Trust), are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor 's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review ofa Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor ofthe Entity. in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Trust's financial position as at 31 December 20 II and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of Lend Lease Trust, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Lend Lease Trust is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of the Trust's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1341nterim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
