This is because the exercise price of the rights issue was less than the fair value of the securities and so includes a bonus element. The number of ordinary securities for both periods prior to the rights issue is multiplied by the fair value per share immediately before the exercise of rights divided by the theoretical ex-rights fair value per share.

Outlook
The focus for MIM is to continue to support and source capital for the Group’s core divisions - Investment and Development - through the establishment of investment partnerships with wholesale institutional investors.
Development Division
The Group’s Development Division conducts residential and commercial development across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.
For the year ended 30 June 2010, the Division’s statutory net profit before tax was $19.6 million and operating profit before tax was $20.1 million.
Residential
Mirvac’s residential product offering includes house and land packages, masterplanned communities, small lot homes and apartments. The Division continued to deliver quality residential product resulting in the settlement of 1,805 lots at 30 June 2010 (including Mirvac share of joint venture interest and Mirvac managed funds).
State based settlements by product for the year ended 30 June 2010 were:
| House/land (%) | Apartments (%) | Total (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSW | 33.9 | 17.0 | 50.8 |
| VIC | 9.2 | 0.1 | 9.3 |
| QLD | 5.8 | 9.5 | 15.3 |
| WA | 15.9 | 8.8 | 24.7 |
| Total | 64.8 | 35.2 | 100.0 |
Mirvac’s position as Australia’s pre-eminent residential developer was evidenced by $802.4 million[1 ] of exchanged residential pre-sales contracts. Key projects included Parkbridge, Middleton Grange in NSW (208 lots); Laureate, Melbourne, VIC (28 lots); Waverley Park, Mulgrave, VIC (73), Waterfront, Newstead, QLD (55 lots) and Beachside Leighton, Leighton Beach, WA (56 lots).
Commercial
Mirvac’s commercial development pipeline covers the office, retail, industrial and hotel sectors. Completed projects may be incorporated into MPT’s property portfolio or sold to third parties. Consistent with the recent improvement in market conditions in the commercial sector across Australia, Mirvac is in various stages of commencing 10 strategic development projects.
During the year Mirvac secured a major pre-commitment on a significant industrial development project, Hoxton Distribution Park at Hoxton Park, Sydney, NSW. Hoxton Distribution Park will be one of the largest industrial development projects undertaken in Australia. The new facility is 100 per cent pre-let to Woolworths Limited covering approximately 140,000 square metres of industrial space that will house major distribution centres for BIG W and Dick Smith, with terms agreed for a 25 year lease and 20 year lease respectively.
Outlook
The Division’s strategy is to build on its extensive in-house experience and proven track record to continue to deliver Australia’s pre-eminent residential developments and focus on large-scale, generational, masterplanned residential communities. The Division will continue to advance its commercial development projects in prime locations.

FY11 guidance & market outlook
Mirvac is forecasting strong growth for FY11 of between 9.7 to 14 per cent representing an FY11 EPS guidance range of 10.2 to 10.6 cents per stapled security. DPS guidance is forecast to be 8.0 to 9.0 cents per stapled security.
The Australian economy continues to perform well and has recovered from a relatively mild downturn. The labour market continues to improve and housing investment is set to accelerate over the remainder of the calendar year. Australia remains well placed to absorb any global downside impacts as a result of its relatively low public debt and sound banking system. Australia however is truly part of the global economy and is substantially impacted by overseas events in Europe and North America and the strength of our largest resource trading partner, China. As a result Mirvac remains cautious about predicting the level of future growth in markets in which it participates. A global tightening of credit and, or, a reduction in demand for Australia’s resources will quickly lead to higher real interest rates and loss of consumer confidence.
Overall, Mirvac believes the outlook for well positioned and priced residential property remains sound. In the commercial market, conditions have been less buoyant however, asset values appear to have stabilised and a shortage of new supply in all sectors may see a return to rental growth in the year ahead. In these uncertain times Mirvac will continue to focus on its major competitive strength of large-scale, pre-eminent residential developments and the proactive management of Australian investment grade assets.
