DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comments on the operations and the results of those operations are set out below:

(a) Property Development

A change in accounting policy as a result of the issue of Urgent Issues Group Abstract 53, which requires the revenues. expenses and profits on pre-sold development projects to be brought to account on a percentage complete basis, resulted in additional revenues of \$331,506 million and profits before tax of \$35.063 million. Excluding the effects of the change in accounting policy, divisional sales revenue to external customers remained fairly consistent with the prior period, although this did not reflect the significant revenue attributed to joint venture profits. Profit before tax (excluding \$35.063 million from the change in accounting policy) increased by 12.6% to \$109.718 million, reflecting the higher profit yielding projects, and higher contributions from joint venture projects, in particular Walsh Bay and Newington.

While the market in general has shown a slow down in demand from investors for residential apartments, sales in the division remain strong particularly in the housing market, with strong pre-sales from owner-occupiers continuing on projects released during the year.

(b) Property Investment and Management

The division provides property management services to the consolidated entity and the stapled trusts at cost. Total sales revenue increased by 8.5 % mainly from car parking operations. Prior year profits before tax included revenue and profits from the sale of an investment asset. The purchase of an investment asset in May 2003, will contribute a full years rental income in the subsequent financial year.

Hotels

Profits after tax increased by 7.8% to \$5.991 million. The result was achieved by an increase in occupancy rates from 72 % to 75%, while the average room rate marginally decreased to \$162, as a result of the change in mix of hotel types, The division continues to focus on increasing domestic corporate and leisure business while maintaining room night demand from Europe and North America, and performed credibly given the external influences of international terrorism, the Middle East War and SARS, which affected the travel industry worldwide.

INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS

As part of the Board's overall risk management policy, the consolidated entity has entered into interest rate contracts to protect its finance facilities from exposure to increasing interest rates. The average rate of maturity of these contracts is 5 years.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year were as follows:

(a) Increase in Contributed Equity from \$398.815 million to \$458.743 million as a result of: Stapled security
price

Issue of 340,901 fully paid ordinary shares of \$1.0778 each under the distribution reinvestment plan \$4.07 367
Net increase in Contributed Equity 59.928

(b) Issue of Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities

Series 2003 - 1 year Commercial Notes were issued for a total of \$161.000 million on 28 May 2003, as \$137.000 million Class 1 and \$24.000 million Class 2 floating rate notes.

The notes have a scheduled maturity date for repayment on 28 November 2003, at which date it is the intention of the consolidated entity to issue notes for a longer term maturity. Interest is payable monthly in arrears.

The issue of the notes replaced bank-funded debt and will provide longer-term maturity under the Group's borrowing program.

The issue has assisted with reducing the cost of the consolidated entity's debt.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

In July 2003, the Group established a AA Rated Multi-option Pre-sale Securitisation program totalling \$500 million, of which \$225 million was drawn down on 22 July 2003, as \$60 million fixed rate notes and \$165 million floating rate notes, \$125 million of the notes drawn down have a scheduled maturity date for repayment on 15 July 2004, and \$100 million a scheduled maturity date for repayment on 15 June 2005. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears for floating rate notes and semi-annually for fixed rate notes. The issue of the notes replaced bank-funded debt and will provide longer-term maturity under the Group's borrowing program. The issue has assisted with reducing the cost of the consolidated entity's debt.

At the date of this report, there is no other matter or circumstance which has arisen since 30 June 2003 that has significantly affected or may significantly affect:

  • (a) the consolidated entity's operations in future financial years, or
  • (b) the results of those operations in future financial vears, or
  • (c) the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the coinion of the directors, if would orejudice the interests of the consolidated entity to provide additional information relating to likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity, and the expected results of those operations in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2003.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

The consolidated entity is subject to significant environmental legislation and associated regulations and Acts. Mirvac is committed to the implementation of responsible and practical management procedures to minimise environmental impacts and provide compliance under the government regulations applicable to all areas within the Group.

Property Development and Construction

Luxedia.
All projects are subject to consents, approvals and licenses which control the development of land. Each project is undertaken
with the guidance of a project specific Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE) or En examines and controls all aspects of development, Each SEE or EIS includes a project specific Environmental Management Plan which quides the construction activities on-site, including handling of waste, materials re-use and recycling, traffic movements, site logistics, hazard protection measures, pollution mitigation (noise, dust, run off), retention of flora & fauna, biodiversity systems for the control of stormwater run off and archaeology, as relevant.

Continual monitoring and compilance with these controls is undertaken within each project as part of Mirvac's Environmental Management System.

During the year, there were some environmental breaches which were of a minor nature resulting in small fines. Breaches were rectified promptly. Mirvac, as standard policy, advises sub-contractors of its environmental policy and monitors each sub-contractor's responsibilities and performance.

Hotel Operations

Mirvac Hotels has undertaken an internal audit for eco efficiency benchmarking for ten of its hotels in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. A range of useful conclusions has arisen from the benchmarking study, which give direction to on-going ecological management strategies. Issues such as impact of hotel occupancy on energy consumption, water use and waste production, impact of efficient water fittings on water usage and impact of individual air conditioners on energy usage have now been neasured, compared and targeted. The audit system is now being expanded to include additional Mirvac hotel properties.

Asset Management

Mirvac has for some years been a partner in the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Energy Smart Business Program and is committed to reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Mirvac's on-going commitment to reducing energy consumption within the investment portfolio has realised a saving equivalent to reducing total greenhouse gas emissions by 9,856 tonnes, the equivalent of taking 2,166 cars off the road.

An action plan for further savings is in place, which targets maintenance, risk control, operational procedures, control of legionella, air quality, waste management, chemical stock control and noise pollution.

Recycling

All activities within the Group implement recycling of work materials and waste minimisation strategies. All new developments include provision for recycling by purchasers, future owners or tenants.

Mirvac's approach to recycling is to minimise waste where possible, re-use when able and recycle as necessary. Several current projects have turned re-use of existing materials into character features, with Walsh Bay as a premier example, Items of industrial heritage and existing tacades have been retained and adaptively re-used within the new buildings and on the foreshore promenade, and sandstone from the site has been laid out as paving and landscape features along Pottinger Street. Recycling of building materials on-site during construction is undertaken as a matter of course, with several recent projects achieving approximately 95% recycling of specific demolished building materials such as concrete, steel, copper and iron.

DIRECTORS' AND EXECUTIVES' EMOLUMENTS

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee, consisting of non-executive directors, advises the Board on remuneration policies and practices generally, and makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages, incentives and other terms of employment for executive directors, other senior executives and non-executive directors.

During the year, the Board reviewed its Board Committees, including the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. In August 2003, the Board established a separate Nomination Committee, and approved a new Charter for the Remuneration Committee and the new Nomination Committee. Both Committees have three members, all of whom are non-executive, Independent directors. The functions of the new Nomination Committee were previously undertaken by the Remuneration Committee.

Executive remuneration, incentives and other terms of employment are reviewed annually having regard to performance against goals set at the start of the year, relevant comparative information and independent expert advice, where required. As well as a base salary, remuneration packages include superannuation, retirement and termination entitiements, performance-related bonuses and fringe benefits. Executives are also eligible to participate in the Mirvac Employee Ihare Schemes

Remuneration packages are set at levels that are intended to attract and retain executives capable of managing the consolidated entity's diverse operations. Performance related bonuses are available to senior executives and executive directors based on achieving set goals during the year.

Through the Nomination Committee, the Board exercised discretion in the granting of bonuses, with the Committee reviewing the extent to which senior executives, including the executive directors, had met their key performance indicators (KPIs). KPIs include Total Shareholder Return exceeding the industry sector as well as specifically targeted financial and operational targets.

Remuneration of non-executive directors is determined by the Board on advice from the remuneration committee within the maximum amount approved by the shareholders from time to time.

Details of the nature and amount of each element of the emoluments of each director of Mirvac Limited and each of the five officers of the company and the consolidated entity receiving the highest emoluments are set out in the following tables:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ₫.

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, and the Corporations Act 2001. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those adopted in the previous vear. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are stated at valuations. Comparative information is reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Mirvac Limited ("company" or "parent entity") as at 30 June 2003 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Mirvac Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated in full. Outside equity interests in the results and equity of controlled entities are shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial performance and statement of financial position respectively.

Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statement of financial position from the date on which control commences. .
Where control of an entity ceases during the year its results are included for that part of the year during which control existed.

estments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Under this method. ne consolidated entity's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised as revenue in the consolidated statement of financial performance, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves. Associates are those entities over which the consolidated entity exercises significant influence, but not control.

(b) Income Tax

Tax effect accounting procedures are followed whereby the income tax expense in the statement of financial performance is matched with the operating profit after allowing for permanent differences.

The future tax benefit relating to tax losses is not carried forward as an asset unless the benefit is virtually certain of realisation. Income tax on timing differences is transferred to non-current income tax provision accounts at the rates which are expected to apply when those timing differences reverse.

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

(i) Foreign Controlled Entity

As the foreign controlled entity is self sustaining, its assets and liabilities are translated into Australian currency at rates of exchange current at balance date, while its revenues and expenses are translated at the average of rates ruling during the year. The foreign controlled entity is based in New Zealand. The directors consider that it is appropriate to treat the controlled entity se colf-eustaining.

(d) Receivables and Revenue Recognition

(i) Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

levelopment projects - where a pre-completion exchanged contract exists and the outcome of the project can be reliably isstimated, revenue is recognised by applying the percentage completion method to that proportion of the project represented by the pre-sold exchanged contracts. The threshold for the recognition of profits on pre-sold development projects is generally set at 50% of completion. Each project is assessed to determine whether the different risks and levels of uncertainty associated specifically to the project, require the threshold to be re-assessed so that uncertainties are reduced and the project revenues and expenses can be reliably estimated.

When the outcome of a project cannot be reliably estimated, costs are recognised as an expense as incurred, and where it is probable that the costs will be recovered, revenue is recognised to the extent of costs incurred.

Where it is probable that a loss will arise, the excess of costs over revenue is recognised as an expense immediately.

For development projects, or that part of the project, where no pre-sold exchanged contracts exist, revenue is recognised on settlement of contract of sale. (Refer to note 1(e)).

For certain projects, a securitisation programme enables the consolidated entity to receive a percentage of payment for sales on which contracts have been exchanged, but which have not been completed. In these cases, the proportion of revenue and profit or loss that is recognised depends on the proportion of the development which has been completed when the group receives payment and on the proportion of the sale price received from the financier.

The balance of the payment for sales is received on completion of the project.

The programme which helps the consolidated entity manage its capital effectively, transfers the risk on these contracts to the programme's financier and there is no recourse to the consolidated entity.

(d) Receivables and Revenue Recognition (continued)

(I) Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows (continued):

Change in Accounting Policy for the Recognition of Revenue and Expenses from Development Projects.

In April 2003, the Urgent Issues Group issued Abstract 53 "Pre-Completion Contracts for the Sale of Residential Development Properties", which became applicable for reporting periods ending on or after 18 March 2003. To comply with UIG Abstract 53, the consolidated entity has changed its accounting policy for the measurement of revenues, expenses and profits on development projects, to recognise revenues and expenses in accordance with the percentage of completion method, for that part of the development project for which pre-completion sales contracts have been exchanged. Until 30 June 2002, the revenue and expenses on development projects were not brought to account until settlement. Where revenues and expenses can be reliably estimated, the threshold for recognition of profits on pre-sold development projects is set at 50% of completion.

The change in accounting policy resulted in an increase in revenues and expenses brought to account on development projects and an increase in the carrying value of inventories as follows: Concolidated

Construction contracts - revenue and expenses are recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method unless the outcome of the contract cannot be reliably estimated. Where it is probable that a loss will arise from a construction contract, the excess of total costs over revenue is recognised as an expense immediately.

When the outcome of a contract cannot be reliably estimated, contract costs are recognised as an expense as incurred, and where it is probable that the costs will be recovered, revenue is recognised to the extent of costs incurred.

ri-lotel and other trade debtors - revenue is recognised when goods and services have been provided to the customer,

Investment properties - revenue is recognised when rental income is due and receivable.

(d) Receivables and Revenue Recognition (continued)

(ii) Receivables

All trade debtors are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due for settlement no more than 30 days from date of recognition. Collectibility of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised where some doubt as to collection exists and in any event where the debt is more than 90 days overdue.

(e) Inventories

Inventories comprise development projects, construction contracts and hotel stock.

(i) Development Projects

Development projects are valued at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.

Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development, borrowing costs, plus recognised profits and foreign exchange differences during development, and is after crediting, where applicable, rental income relating to such projects during the development period. After development is completed, borrowing costs, foreign exchange differences and other holding charges are expensed as incurred. Where a pre-completion exchanged contract exists and the outcome of the project can be reliably estimated, profits are brought to account by applying the percentage completion method to that proportion of the project represented by the pre-sold exchanged contracts. For development projects, or that part of the project, where no pre-sold exchanged contracts exist, profit is recognised on settlement of contract of sale

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(e) Inventories (continued)

(ii) Construction Contracts

Construction work in progress is stated at the aggregate of contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses and progress billings. If there are contracts where progress billings exceed the aggregate costs incurred plus profits less losses, the net amounts are presented under payables.

Contract costs include all costs directly related to specific contracts, and costs that are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract (as determined for development projects). The stage of completion is measured as a percentage complete of the construction contract, conditional upon the receipt of the first progress claim under the contract.

(f) Non-Current Assets

(i) Recoverable Amount of Non-Current Assets

The recoverable amount of an asset is the net amount expected to be recovered through net cash inflows arising from its continued use and subsequent disposal.

$\hat{\mathcal{A}}$ here the carrying amount of a non-current asset is greater than its recoverable amount the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Where net cash inflows are derived from a group of assets working together, recoverable amount is determined on the basis of the relevant group of assets. The decrement in the carrying amount is recognised as an expense in net profit or loss in the reporting period in which the recoverable amount write-down occurs.

The expected net cash flows included in determining recoverable amounts of non-current assets are discounted to their present values using a Board-determined, risk adjusted discount rate. The discount rate used was 10% (2002; 10%),

(ii) Revaluation of Non-Current Assets

Subsequent to initial recognition as assets, property, plant and equipment are measured at fair value being the amounts for which the assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from its fair value at the reporting date.

In respect of the regular revaluations of property, plant and equipment to assess fair market value, the revaluation adjustments are treated as follows: -

Revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, unless they are reversing a previous decrement recognised as an expense in net profit or loss, in which case the increment is recognised as revenue in net profit or loss.

Revaluation decrements are recognised as expenses in net profit or loss, unless they are reversing revaluation increments 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 they are debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.

avaluation increments and decrements are offset against one another within a class of non-current assets.

Potential capital gains tax is not taken into account in determining revaluation amounts unless it is expected that a liability for such tax will crystallise.

Investment Properties

Investment properties comprise investment interests in land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) held for the purpose of letting to produce rental income, and include hotels and integral plant and equipment.

Investment properties (excluding hotels and integral plant and equipment) of Mirvac Limited and its controlled entities are revalued by external valuers on the basis of one third of the portfolio being valued annually, investment properties in the reporting period, which are not due for external valuation, are reviewed annually by the directors and if materially different from the carrying value, are either externally valued or adjusted to fair value.

Where a property is acquired during the financial year and not revalued externally at balance date, the costs of acquisition are capitalised and included in the carrying value of the property. Where an unconditional contract has been entered into for the purchase of an investment property, the purchase price including stamp duty is included in the carrying value of the property,

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1.

(g) Investments

Investments are recorded at the lower of cost or net realisable value and income is recognised in the statement of financial performance when received

Information determined in accordance with the equity method of accounting is set out in note 31 in respect of investments in associated entities (joint venture partnerships). Associated entities are those entities, other than controlled entities, over which the consolidated entity exercises significant influence, but not control.

(h) Depreciation of Plant and Equipment

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over its expected useful life. The expected useful lives are as follows:

Plant and equipment 3 to 15 years

(i) Leasehold Improvements

The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties for office premises, is amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement to the consolidated entity, whichever is the shorter. easehold improvements held at the reporting date are being amortised over periods to 10 years.

(i) Leased Non-Current Assets

A distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets (finance leases), and operating leases under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits (note 1(t)).

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the interest expense.

The lease asset is amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, or where it is likely that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset. Lease assets held at the reporting date are being amortised over periods ranging up to 4 vears.

(k) Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Where an entity or operation is acquired, the identifiable net assets acquired are measured at fair value. The excess of the fair value of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is brought to account as goodwill. Goodwill is amortised using the straight line method, over periods not exceeding twenty years, being the period during which the future benefits are expected to arise.

The unamortised balance of goodwill is reviewed at each balance date, and written off to the statement of financial performance to the extent that the future benefits are no ionoer probable.

(I) Acquisition of Assets

The purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their market price as at the acquisition date. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Goodwill is brought to account on the basis described in note 1(k).

(m) Trade and Other Creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition.

(n) Interest Bearing Liabilities

Commercial notes, debentures, bills of exchange and bank overdrafts, are carried at their principal amounts. Interest is accrued over the period it becomes due and is recorded as other debtors, where prepaid, or other creditors, where payable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES $\frac{1}{4}$

(o) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividends declared, determined or publicly recommended by the directors of Mirvac Limited, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.

(p) Interest Rate Agreements

The consolidated entity has entered into interest rate cap/collar option settlements, and interest rate swap agreements, in order to fix exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

The net amount receivable or payable under interest rate swap agreements is progressively brought to account over the period to settlement. The amount recognised is accounted for as an adjustment to interest and finance charges during the period and are included in other debtors or other creditors at each reporting date.

Where an interest rate swap is terminated early and the underlying contracted transactions are no longer expected to occur as designated, the gains or losses arising on the swap upon its early termination are recognised in the statement of financial performance as at the date of the termination.

These financial instruments are not held for speculative purposes.

J Joint Ventures

(i) Joint Venture Operations

The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of unincorporated joint venture operations have been included in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint ventures are set out in note 31.

(ii) Joint Venture Entities

Interests in joint venture entities are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method the share of the profits or losses of the entities are recognised in the statement of financial performance, and the share of movements in reserves in the statement of financial position. Details relating to the entities are set out in note 31.

Transactions with the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the consolidated entity's ownership interest until such time as they are realised by the joint venture entities on consumption or sale.

(r) Employee entitlements

(i) Wages and Salaries and Annual Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave are recognised, and are measured at the amount unpaid at the reporting date at pay rates expected to be paid in respect of employees' services up to that date.

(ii) Long Service Leave

A liability for long service leave is recognised, and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in spect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates attaching, as at the reporting date, to national government guaranteed securities with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash flows.

(iii) Bonuses

A liability for bonuses payable is recognised in other creditors when there is no realistic alternative but to settle the liability and at least one of the following conditions is met:

  • there are formal terms for determining the amount of the benefit
  • the amounts to be paid are determined before the time of completion of the financial report, or
  • past practice gives clear evidence of the amount of the obligation.

Liabilities for bonuses are expected to be settled within twelve months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled.

(iv) Employee Benefit on-costs

Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities and costs when the employee benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities.

(s) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except as stated in note 1 (e)(i). Borrowing costs include:

  • interest on bank overdrafts and short term and long-term borrowings
  • amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings
  • amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings
  • certain exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1.

(t) Operating Leases

$\cdot$

Operating leases are leases under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased assets. Operating lease payments are charged to the statement of financial performance in the periods in which they are incurred.

(u) Earnings per Share

(i) Basic Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net profit after income tax attributable to the members of Mirvac Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares, if any, issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted Earnings per Share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to the dilutive potential ordinary shares.

d Web site costs

.
Costs in relation to feasibility studies during the planning phase of a web site, and ongoing costs of maintenance during the operating phase are considered to be expenses. Costs incurred in building or enhancing a web site, to the extent that they represent probable future economic benefits that can be reliably measured, are capitalised as an asset and amortised over the period of the expected benefits, which approximates 3 years.

(w) Rounding of Amounts

The company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the "rounding off" of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

(iv) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

:) Tax consolidation fegislation

virvac Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have decided to implement the tax consolidation legislation from 1 July 2003. The Australian Taxation Office has not yet been notified of this decision.

The entities also intend to enter into a tax sharing agreement, but details of this agreement are yet to be finalised.

As a consequence, Mirvac Limited, as the head entity in the tax consolidated group, will recognise current and deferred tax amounts relating to transactions, events and balances of the wholly-owned Australian controlled group in future financial statements as if those transactions, events and balances were its own, in addition to the current and deferred tax balances arising in relation to its own transactions, events and balances. Amounts receivable or payable under the tax sharing agreement will be recognised separately by Mirvac Limited as tax-related amounts receivable or payable.

The impact on the income tax expense and results of Mirvac Limited is unlikely to be material because of the tax sharing agreement. This is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated assets and liabilities and results.

The financial effect of the implementation of the legislation has not been recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2003.

The notes are secured by a first ranking real property mortgage over specific investment properties of Mirvac Property Trust and Mirvac Commercial Trust, members of the stapled Mirvac Group, and by a fixed and floating charge over some of the assets of the consolidated entity.

Mirvac Funds Limited, as the responsible entity of Mirvac Property Trust and Mirvac Commercial Trust, has a joint and several liability for the notes, and has guaranteed the obligations of Mirvac Limited to the notes issues.

Other bank borrowings

The consolidated entity has syndicated multi-option borrowing facilities totalling \$505,000,000 (2002 - \$505,000,000), and a securitisation facility of \$300,000,000 (2002 - \$300,000,000).

The multi-option facility totalling \$505,000,000 (2002; \$505,000,000) is secured by a floating charge and an equitable charge over the assets and undertakings of Mirvac Limited and its controlled entities.

Subject to the terms of the bank facility agreements, bills of exchange may be drawn at any time. Interest rates are variable and are adjusted on the drawdown of bills of exchange. The weighted average discount rate for bills of exchange (excluding margin ind hedging) over the period was 4.88% (2002 - 4.66%), and the weighted average interest rate for the overdraft facility over the period was 8.00% (2002 - 8.02%).

The securitisation facility may be drawn at any time, interest rates on the facility are variable and are determined at the date of the securitisation.

The facility is expected to extend beyond its current termination date of October 2003, with indicative approvals to extend the period of the facility beyond 30 June 2004.

The Mirvac Limited securitisation facility of \$300,000,000 is secured by a specific charge over the assets securitised. The facility is a 364 day facility which expires on 25 June 2004.

Lease Liabilities

Lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased asset revert to the lessor in the event of default.

29. EINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Derivative Instruments

Mirvac Limited and certain of its controlled entities are parties to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business. in order to limit exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

Under the terms of the Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities issues, Mirvac Limited and a controlled entity of Mirvac Limited were required to enter into fixed interest rate agreements, whereby the controlled entity is obliged to pay a fixed interest rate of 9.25% If interest rates rise above 9.25%, for the period from 5 June 2006 to 5 December 2007. Mirvac Limited has sold an identical contract where it would receive 9,25% if interest rates rise above 9.25% for the period from 5 June 2006 to 5 December 2007.

1terest Rate Contracts

The consolidated entity has entered into fixed interest rate contracts under which it is obliged to pay interest at fixed rates, to protect that part of the borrowing facilities subject to floating rates of interest, from exposure to increasing interest rates. .
The contracts are settled on a net basis, with amounts receivable or payable settled immediately.

Contracts currently in place cover over 67% (2002 - 93.8%) of the debt outstanding. The fixed interest rates range between 5.75% and 5.99% (2002: 6.11% and 6.38%). One contract of \$50.000 million, commencing on 5 June 2005, will revert to floating rates if the 90 day Bill rate exceeds 7.5% for the 90 day period. Other contracts allow the variable interest rate to float between a minimum of 4.25% and a maximum of 5.50%

At 30 June 2003, the principal amounts and periods of expiry of the loans subject to interest rate swaps are as follows:

۰. 2003

As these contracts fix exposure to future interest rate movements, any unrealised gains and losses on the contracts,

are deferred and will be recognised in the measurement of the underlying transaction.

The net payment, which represents the present value of the difference between the consolidated entity's fixed interest commitment over the term of the contracts and the current cash rate, which would have occurred if the contracts were terminated at 30 June 2003 was \$18,638,000 (2002: Payment of \$3,080,000).

(c) Credit Risk Exposure

The credit risk on financial assets of the consolidated entity which have been recognised on the statement of financial position is the carrying amount net of any provisions for doubtful debts. The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.

(d) Net Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents and other non-interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated entity approximates to their carrying value.

Commercial notes have a net fair value equal to their face value of \$851,000,000.

The net fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities arising from interest rate swap agreements has been determined as the carrying amount, which represents the amount currently receivable or payable at the reporting date.

Establishment of \$500 million AA Rated Securitisation Program

In July 2003, the Group established a AA Rated Multi-option Pre-sale Securitisation program totalling \$500 million, of which \$225 million was drawn down on 22 July 2003, as \$60 million fixed rate notes and \$165 million floating rate notes. \$125 million of the notes drawn down have a scheduled maturity date for repayment on 15 July 2004, and \$100 million a scheduled maturity date for repayment on 15 June 2005. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears for floating rate notes and semi-annually for fixed rate notes. The issue of the notes replaced bank-funded debt and will provide longer-term maturity under the Group's borrowing program. The issue has assisted with reducing the cost of the consolidated entity's debt.

  • is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Requlations 2001.

This opinion must be read in conjunction with the rest of our audit report.

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for both Mirvac Limited (the company) and the Mirvac Limited Group (the consolidated entity), for the year ended 30 June 2003. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit Approach

We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

  • examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and
  • assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

When this audit report is included in a document containing the directors' report, our procedures include reading the directors' report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

Independence

In conductiing our audit, we followed applicable Independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Coroorations Act 2001.
