(a) the combined entity's operations in future financial years, or

(b) the results of those operations in future financial years, or

(c) the combined entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the opinion of the directors, it would prejudice the interests of the combined entity to provide additional information relating to likely developments in the operations of the combined entity, and the expected results of those operations in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2003.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

The combined entity is subject to significant environmental legislation and associated requiritions and Acts, Mirvan 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

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 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) which examines and controls all aspects of development. Each SEE or EIS includes a project specific Environmental Management Plan which guides 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 stomwater run off and archaeology, as relevant.

Continual monitoring and compliance 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 measured, compared and targeted. The audit system is now being expanded to include additional Mirvac hotel properties.

DIRECTORS' STATEMENT (continued)

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS (continued)

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.

Milwar'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 facades 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES $\blacktriangleleft$

"The Mirvac Group" - Stapling of Securities

The Mirvac Group was initially formed by the stapling of the securities of three listed entities comprising Mirvac Limited. Mirvac Commercial Trust and Mirvao Property Trust.

ģ,

On 1 November 2001, the Mirvac Group Stapled Securityholders approved resolutions to simplify the structure of the Mirvac Group, subject to certain conditions, which were subsequently satisfied.

The simplification resulted in the acquisition of all of the units in Mirvac Commercial Trust by Mirvac Property Trust.

On 13 September 2002, the existing stapled structure was de-stapled and re-stapled in the simplified structure.

Mirvac Group Stapled Securities, quoted and traded together on the Australian Stock Exchange, now comprise one Consolidated Mirvac Limited share and one Consolidated Mirvac Property Trust unit.

The stanled securities cannot be traded or deall with senarately

With the establishment of The Mirvac Group and its common investors, the combined group has common directors and common business objectives, and operates as a combined entity with three core businesses:

  • property investment and management
  • property development
  • hotel management

The entities forming the stapled group entered into a Deed of Co-Operation which provided that the members consider the interests of The Mirvac Group as a whole, when entering into any agreement or arrangement, or carrying out any act. This Deed of Co-operation means that members of the stapled group, where permitted by taw, will carry out activities with other members on a cost recovery basis, thereby maintaining the best interests of the group as a whole.

The two Mirvac entities comprising the stapled group, remain separate legal entities in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. and are each required to comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards and the Corporations Requiations 2001.

The Stapled Security structure will cease to operate on the first to occur of:

  • any of Mirvao Limited or Mirvac Property Trust resolving by special resolution in general meeting and in
  • accordance with its constitution to terminate the Stapling provisions; or
  • the commencement of the winding up of Mirvac Limited or Mirvac Property Trust.

The Australian Stock Exchange reserves the right (but without limiting its absolute discretion) to remove one or more entities with stapled securities from the official list if any of their securities cease to be 'stapled' together, or any equity securities of the same class are issued by one entity which are not stapled to equivalent securities in the other entity or entities.

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of The Mirvac Group consist of the aggregated financial statements of the combined entity comprising Mirvac Limited and its controlled entities and Mirvac Property Trust and its controlled entities.

None of the entities whose securities are stapled is a parent of the other entities and the entitles do not have a common parent.

The financial statements are a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared to satisfy the requirements of the Urgent Issues Group Consensus View 13, * The Presentation of the Financial Report of Entities Whose Securities are Stapled". This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views.

The Mirvac Property Trust was originally constituted on 9 April 1987 and will terminate on 8 April 2067 unless terminated earlier under the provisions of the Trust Constitution.

The accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial statements have been consistently applied by the individual entities comprising the combined financial statements except as otherwise indicated.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets which as noted, are stated at valuation (see note 1(f)). Comparative information is reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability.

(a) Principles of Aggregation

The combined financial statements have been prepared on an aggregated basis in recognition of the fact that the securities issued by Mirvac Limited and Mirvac Property Trust are stapled into parcels, and cannot be traded separately. The aggregated financial statements incorporate an elimination of inter-entity transactions and balances and other adjustments

necessary to present the financial statements on a combined basis Outside equity interests in the results and equity of controlled entities are shown separately in the combined 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 combined statement of financial performance 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.

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

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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b) Income Tax

Tax effect accounting procedures are followed whereby the incorne tax expense in the statement of financial performance is matched with the accounting 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 cumulative timing differences is set aside to the deferred income tax or the future income tax benefit accounts, at the rates which are expected to apply when those fiming differences reverse.

Under current income tax legislation Mirvac Property Trust is not liable for income tax, provided its taxable income is fully distributed to unltholders each financial year. The trust is liable for tax on capital gains to the extent that these are not fully distributed to the unitholders.

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

(i) Foreign Controlled Entity

As a foreign controlled entity of Mirvac Limited 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 of Miryac Limited consider that it is appropriate to treat the controlled entity as self-sustaining.

(d) Receivables and Revenue Recognition

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

Development projects - where a pre-completion exchanged contract exists and the outcome of the project can be reliably estimated, 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 group 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 sates is received on completion of the project.

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

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 Mirvac Group 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:

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.

Hotel 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.

(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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 1.

(e) Inventories

Inventories comprise development projects, construction contracts and hotel stock.

(i) Davelopment 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.

(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.

Where 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.

Revaluation 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.

All the investment properties of Mirvac Property Trust 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 revaluation, are reviewed annually by the directors and if materially different from the carrying value, are either externally valued or adjusted to fair value.

All other properties are carried at external valuation plus capital expenditure incurred since the date of external valuation.

Where a contract has been entered into for the sale of a property investment, the property has been valued at the lower of net realisable value or the latest external valuation.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) $\ddagger$ .

(g) Investments

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

.
Information determined in accordance with the equity method of accounting is set out in note 32 in respect of Investments in associated entities (joint venture entities). Associated entities are those entities, other than controlled entities, over which the combined entity exercises significant influence, but not control.

(b) 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: 3 to 15 years Plant and equipment

(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 combined entity, whichever is the shorter. Leasehold 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(s)).

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 llability 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 combined 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 years.

(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 longer probable.

(I) Trade and Other Creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the combined 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.

(m) Interest bearing ilabilities

Commercial notes, 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,

(n) Dividends / Distributions

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

(o) Interest Rate Agreements

The combined 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 in accordance with the terms of the contract. 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 hold for speculative purposes.

(p) Joint Ventures

(I) Joint Venture Operations

The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of unincorporated joint venture operations have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint ventures are set out in note 32.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003

$\mathbf{1}$ . SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(p) Joint Ventures (continued)

(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 entitles are set out in note 32.

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

(a) Employee entitiements

(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 uppaid 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 fiability for long service leave is recognised, and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect 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.

(r) 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.

(s) Operating Leases

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.

(t) Earnings per Security

(i) Basic Earnings per Security

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

(ii) Diluted Eamings per Security

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

(u) 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).

(v) 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 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

Mirvac Limited and Mirvac Property Trust are entities of the kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities & 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003

The Mirvac Group
2003 2002

(a) Income tax expense
The income tax expense for the financial year differs from the amount
calculated on the profit. The differences are reconciled as follows:
Profit from ordinary activities before income tax expense 263,522 203,148
Income tax calculated at 30% (2002: 30%) 79,057 60,944
Tax effect of permanent differences:
Non-deductible and non-assessable items 851 2,409
Capital profit on sale of property o 1,233
Trust net income (36, 453) (31, 810)
income tax adjusted for permanent differences 43,455 32,776
Over provision in previous year (3,271) (336)
Net adjustment to deferred income tax liabilities and assets
to reflect the decrease in company tax rate to 30% ٥ 653
Aggregate income tax expense 40,184 33,093
Aggregate income tax expense comprises:
Current tax provision 31,573 11,178
Deferred income tax provision 10,564 18,059
Future income tax benefit 1,318 4,192
Over provision in prior year (3,271) 336
40,184 33,093

The amount of Future Income Tax Benefit at note 15 attributable to tax losses

(b) Tax losses

The benefit of the tax losses will only be obtained if:

(i) the combined entity derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised, or

the losses are transferred to an eligible entity in the combined entity, and 備 (iii) the combined entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility

imposed by tax legislation, and no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the combined entity in realising the $(W)$

benefit from the deductions for the losses.

(c) Tax consolidation legislation

Mirvac 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 batances 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.

Security for Borrowings

Commercial Notes (Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities)

Commercial notes rated AAA, AA and A, on issue and repayable on 5 June 2006 total \$690,000,000.

Interest is payable in arrears, quarterly on floating rates of interest and semi-annually on fixed rates of interest.

Series 2003 - 1 year Commercial Notes were issued by a controlled entity of Mirvac Limited for a total of \$161,000,000 on 28 May 2003, as \$137,000,000 Class 1 and \$24,000,000 Class 2 floating rate notes.

The notes have a scheduled maturity date for repayment on 28 November 2003. Interest is payable monthly in arrears.

The Commercial notes due for repayment on 28 November 2003 will be replaced with longer term notes which will extend beyond 30 June 2004. The information memorandum to the capital markets is presently under negotiation and is expected to be released in September 2003.

The notes are secured by a first ranking real property mortgage over specific investment properties of the combined entity and by a fixed and floating charge over some of the assets of the combined entity.

Other bank borrowings

The combined 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 and 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 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

(a) Employee Share Scheme Issues

During the financial year 4,129,535 ordinary stapled securities were issued to employees of Mirvac Limited and its controlled entities (2002) 3.917.478 ordinary stapled securities). The securities were issued at market price.

The total of ordinary stapled securities issued to employees under the Employee Incentive Scheme at 30 June 2003 is 17,163,366 (2002: 16,319,676). The market price per ordinary stapled security at 30 June 2003 was \$4.44 (2002: \$4.18). Information relating to the employee share schemes is set out in Note 40.

(b) Distribution Reinvestment Plan

.
The Mirvac Group distribution reinvestment plan commenced operation from the March 2000 quarterly distribution. Under the distribution reinvestment plan, holders of ordinary securities, up to a maximum 30,000 securities, may elect to have all or part of their distribution entitlements satisfied by the issue of new ordinary securities rather than being paid in cash. Securities issued under the plan are issued at a 2% discount to the market price.

(c) Security placement with institutions

On 18 February 2003, The Mirvac Group issued 49,751,244 stapled securities as an institutional placement. The placement securities were issued at a price of \$4.02 per security, which represented a 2.2% discount. The funds raised from the private placement were used to refire debt and to fund investment acquisitions and growth opportunities.

(d) Acquisition of Mirvac Commercial Trust by Mirvac Property Trust

On 1 November 2001, the Mirvac Group Stapled Securityholders approved resolutions to simplify the structure of The Mirvac Group. The simplification resulted in the acquisition on 13 September 2002, of all of the units in Mirvac Commercial Trust by Mirvac Property Trust by way of issue of 1 Mirvac Property Trust unit for 1 Mirvac Commercial Trust unit. The units issued by Mirvac Property Trust to Mirvac Commercial Trust unitholders were consolidated on a 2 : 1 basis, so that the Mirvac Property Trust units on issue prior to the acquisition did not alter.

Franking credits at 30 June 2002 for the combined entity of \$49,848,000 based on after tax profits. were converted so that the opening balances on 1 July 2002 reflected tax paid amounts of \$21,364,000 which are shown as the comparative amount above.

30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Derivative Instruments

The entities of the combined group are parties to derivative instruments in the normal course of business in order to limit exposures 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.

Interest Rate Contracts

The combined 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 combined entity has entered into interest rate contracts where it is obliged to pay floating rates and receive fixed rates, to manage exposure to fixed 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 notional principal amounts and periods of expiry of the loans subject to interest rate swaps are as follows:

2003 2002
\$000 \$000
Less than 1 year ٥ 0
2 to 3 years 150,000 50,000
3 to 5 years 150,000 450,000
5 to 10 years 400,000 0
700.000 500.000

As these contracts fix exposure to future interest rate movements, any unrealised gains and losses 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 combined 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).

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 combined entity's debt.

Implementation of tax consolidation legislation

Mirvac Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have decided to implement the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003. Refer to note 4 (c) for further information.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the stapled security holders of The Mirvac Group. 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 Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of The Mirvac Group's financial position and 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 the directors or management.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements.
