$\ddagger$ Summary of significant accounting policies

"The Mirvac Group" - Stapled Securities

One Mirvac Property Trust unit is stapled to one Mirvac Limited share to form a Mirvac Group Stapled Security. The stapled securities are quoted and traded together on the Australian Stock Exchange and cannot be traded or dealt with separately.

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 law, will carry out activities with other members on a cost recovery basis, thereby maintaining the best interests of the Mirvac Group as a whole.

The two Mirvac Group 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 Act 2001.

The stapled security structure will cease to operate on the first to occur of:

  • any of Mirvac 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.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

$(a)$ Basis of preparation of financial report

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRSs), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRSs

Australian Accounting Standards include AIFRSs. Compliance with AIFRSs ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of the Mirvac Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The parent entity financial statements and notes also comply with IFRSs except that it has elected to apply the relief provided to parent entities in respect of certain disclosure requirements contained in AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and Disclosure.

Application of AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS)

This financial report is the first consolidated entity full year financial report to be prepared in accordance with AIFRSs. AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards has been applied in preparing these financial statements.

Financial statements of the consolidated entity until 30 June 2005 had been prepared in accordance with previous Australian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (AGAAP). AGAAP differs in certain respects from AIFRS. When preparing the consolidated entity financial report for the year ended 30 June 2006, management has amended certain accounting, valuation and consolidation methods applied in the previous AGAAP financial statements to comply with AIFRS. With the exception of financial instruments, the comparative figures in respect of 2005 were restated to reflect these adjustments. The consolidated entity has taken the exemption available under AASB 1 to only apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) $\mathbf{1}$ .

$(a)$ Basis of preparation of financial report (continued)

Reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of transition from previous AGAAP to AIFRS are given in note 35.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

$(b)$ Principles of consolidation

$(i)$ Controlled entities

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Mirvac Property Trust as at 30 June 2006 and the results of all subsidiaries for the financial year then ended.

Controlled entities are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Trust has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a unitholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Trust controls another entity.

Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Trust. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Trust (refer to note $1(e)$ ).

Intercompany transactions and balances between Trust entities are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Trust.

Minority interests in the results and equity of controlled entities are shown separately in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet respectively.

Investments in controlled entities are accounted for at cost in the individual statements of Mirvac Property Trust (parent entity).

$(ii)$ Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Trust has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. Investments in associates are accounted for in the Trust's financial statements using the cost method. The Trust's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) $\ddagger$ .

$(b)$ Principles of consolidation (continued)

The Trust's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Distributions receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investments.

When the Trust's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Trust does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Trust and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Trust's interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Trust.

$(iii)$ Joint ventures

Joint venture entities

The interest in a joint venture partnership is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method and is carried at cost by the Trust. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the partnership is recognised in the income statement, and the share of movements in reserves is recognised in reserves in the balance sheet.

Profits or losses on transactions establishing the joint venture partnership and transactions with the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Trust's ownership interest until such time as they are realised by the joint venture partnership on consumption or sale, unless they relate to an unrealised loss that provides evidence of the impairment of an asset transferred.

$(c)$ Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency $(i)$

Items included in the financial statements of each of the consolidated entity's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Mirvac Property Trust's functional and presentation currency.

$(ii)$ Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

$\mathbf{1}$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(d)$ Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

$\left( i\right)$ Rental income

Rental revenue for operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, except when an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of service rendered through the provision of the leased premises. Lease incentives offered under operating leases are amortised on a straight-line basis and offset against rental income.

$(ii)$ Recoverable outgoings

Recovery of outgoings as specified in lease agreements is accrued on an estimated basis and adjusted when the actual amounts are invoiced to the respective tenants.

$(iii)$ Interest

Interest revenue is brought to account when earned, taking inter account the effective yield on the financial asset.

Business combinations $(e)$

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, units issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Trust's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as aoodwill (refer to note 1(p)). If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the controlled entity acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

$(f)$ Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangibles that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

$\mathbf{1}$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(g)$ Cash and cash equivalents

For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liguid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

$(h)$ Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised costs, less provision for doubtful debts.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Trust will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

Non-current assets held for sale $(i)$

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of de-recognition.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.

$\ddagger$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(i)$ Investments and other financial assets

From 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005

The consolidated entity has taken the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 only from 1 July 2005. The consolidated entity has applied previous AGAAP to the comparative information on financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139. Under previous AGAAP, interests in listed and unlisted securities, other than subsidiaries and associates, are brought to account at cost and distribution income is recognised in the income statement when receivable.

From 1 July 2005

The consolidated entity classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss $\left( n\right)$

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss with the intention of making a profit are financial assets held for trading which are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

Loans and receivables $(ii)$

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the consolidated entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the balance sheet.

$(iii)$ Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date being the date on which the consolidated entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the consolidated entity establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include reference to the fair values of recent arm's length transactions, involving the same instruments or other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer's specific circumstances.

The consolidated entity assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a unit below its costs is considered in determining whether the unit is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value) less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss and is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

$\mathbf{1}$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(k)$ Derivatives

From 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005

The consolidated entity has taken the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005. The consolidated entity has applied previous AGAAP in the comparative information on financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139.

The following sets out how derivatives were accounted for under previous AGAAP.

Interest rate swaps

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

Where an interest rate swap was terminated early and the underlying hedged transaction was:

  • $(a)$ still expected to occur as designated: the gains or losses arising on the swap upon its early termination continued to be deferred and were progressively brought to account over the period during which the hedged transactions were recognised
  • $(b)$ no longer expected to occur as designated: the gains or losses arising on the swap upon its early termination were recognised in the income statement at the date of termination.

Adjustments on transition date: 1 July 2005

The nature of the main adjustments to make this information comply with AASB 132 and AASB 139 are that derivatives are measured on a fair value basis. Changes in fair value are either taken to the income statement or an equity reserve (refer below). At the date of transition (1 July 2005) changes in the carrying amounts of derivatives are taken to retained earnings or reserves, depending on whether the criteria for hedge accounting are satisfied at the transition date.

From 1 July 2005

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The consolidated entity designates certain derivatives as either: (1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or (2) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

The consolidated entity documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The consolidated entity also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

$\mathbf{1}$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(k)$ Derivatives (continued)

Cash flow hedge $(ii)$

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in equity in the hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss (for instance when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory) or a nonfinancial liability, the

gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial cost or carrying amount of the asset or liability.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting $(ii)$

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement.

$(1)$ Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the consolidated entity is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. The consolidated entity uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. The fair value of interest-rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows.

The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the consolidated entity for similar financial instruments.

Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amounts of the financial instruments.

$(m)$ Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment comprises investment properties under construction.

Property under construction is carried at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) $\mathbf{1}$ .

$(m)$ Property, plant and equipment (continued)

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimate recoverable amount (note 1(i)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement on a net basis when the risks and rewards pass to the purchaser. When revalued assets are sold, it is consolidated entity policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

Investment property $(n)$

$\langle i \rangle$ Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held for long-term rental vields and for capital appreciation.

Investment properties are carried at fair value, representing open market value determined at each balance date, with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised in the income statement in the period.

Investment properties are revalued by external valuers on a rotation basis with one-half of the portfolio being valued annually. Investment properties which are not subject to an external valuation at the reporting date are fair valued internally by management.

The carrying amount of the investment properties recorded in the balance sheet includes components relating to lease incentives.

Investment properties under development $(ii)$

Existing investment properties being redeveloped for continued future use are carried at fair value.

$(o)$ Lease incentives

Lease incentives provided under an operating lease are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis against rental income. As these incentives are repaid out of future lease payments, they are recognised as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of the carrying amount of investment properties and amortised over the lease period.

Where the investment property is supported by a valuation that incorporates the value of fit-outs, the investment property is revalued back to the valuation amount after the lease incentive amortisation has been charged as an expense.

$(p)$ Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Trust's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired controlled entity/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of controlled entities is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

$\mathbf{1}$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(a)$ Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Trust prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Payables whose settlement is deferred, are measured at amortised cost.

$(r)$ Borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the consolidated entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

Contributed equity $(s)$

Ordinary securities are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new units or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new units or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

In accordance with AASB 2:" Share Based Payments", securities issued as part of the Mirvac Group EIS are not classified as ordinary units, until such time as the employee loans are fully repaid or they leave the Mirvac Group.

$(t)$ Distributions

Provision is made for the amount of any distribution declared on or before the end of the year but not distributed at balance date.

$(u)$ Earnings per unit

Basic earnings per unit $(i)$

Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to unitholders of the trust by the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per unit $(ii)$

Diluted earnings per unit adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per unit to take into account of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary units and the weighted average number of units assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary units.

$(v)$ Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

$\mathbf{1}$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(w)$ Comparative information

Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current financial year amounts and other disclosures.

Rounding of amounts $(x)$

The consolidated entity 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, the nearest dollar.

$(v)$ Net current liabilities

The consolidated entity has classified \$1,200.0 million in interest bearing bridge facilities as current liabilities as a result of these facilities maturing within the next twelve months, these facilities will be refinanced in the normal course of business.

New accounting standards and UIG interpretations $(z)$

Certain new accounting standards and UIG interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2006 reporting periods. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

$(i)$ UIG 4 Determining whether an Asset Contains a Lease

UIG 4 is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006. The consolidated entity has not elected to adopt UIG 4 early. It will apply UIG 4 in its 2007 financial statements and the UIG 4 transition provisions. The consolidated entity will therefore apply UIG 4 on the basis of facts and circumstances that existed as of 1 July 2006. Implementation of UIG 4 is not expected to change the accounting for any of the consolidated entity's current arrangements.

AASB 2005-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 4, AASB 1023, AASB 139 & AASB $(ii)$ 1321

AASB 2005-9 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006. The amendments relate to the accounting for financial guarantee contracts. The consolidated entity does not hold any financial quarantee contracts. AASB 2005-9 will therefore have no impact on the Trust's financial statements.

$(iii)$ AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and AASB 2005-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 132, AASB 101, AASB 114, AASB 117, AASB 133, AASB 139, AASB 1, AASB 4, AASB 1023 & AASB 1038]

AASB 7 and AASB 2005-10 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. The consolidated entity has not adopted the standards early. Application of the standards will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the consolidated entity's financial instruments.

$(iv)$ AASB 2005-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 121]

AASB 2005-6 is applicable to annual reporting periods ending on or after 31 December 2006. The amendment relates to monetary items that form part of a reporting entity's net investment in a foreign operation. It removes the requirement that such monetary items had to be denominated either in the functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation. The amendment to AASB 121 will not impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.

$2.$ Financial risk management

The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures.

Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved by the board of Directors. Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as mitigating foreign exchange, interest rate and credit risks, use of derivative financial instruments and investing excess liquidity.

$(a)$ Market risk

Foreian exchange risk $\left( i\right)$

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.

An associate of the consolidated entity operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to the US dollar.

Forward contracts, are used to manage foreign exchange risk. Group Treasury is responsible for managing exposures in foreign currency by using external forward currency contracts.

$(ii)$ Price risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the consolidated entity and classified on the balance sheet as fair value through profit or loss.

$(b)$ Credit risk

The consolidated entity has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. The consolidated entity has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.

$(c)$ Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close-out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses. Group Treasury aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping a committed credit line available.

$(d)$ Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The consolidated entity's interest-rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the consolidated entity to cash flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the consolidated entity to fair value interest-rate risk. The Trust targets to have 70% of borrowings subject to fixed or capped interest rates. This policy has been complied with at the year end.

The Trust manages its cash flow interest-rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate derivatives. Such interest rate derivatives have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed or capped rates. Generally, the Trust raises long term borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are lower than those available if the Trust borrowed at fixed rates directly. Under the interest-rate swaps, the Trust agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (mainly quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.

$3.$ Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors. including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The consolidated entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Estimated impairment of goodwill $\left( n\right)$

The consolidated entity tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1(p). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions. Refer to note 16(b) for details of these assumptions and the potential impact of changes to the assumptions.

Fair value of investments not traded in active markets $(ii)$

The fair value investments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The consolidated entity uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. The consolidated entity has used discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of investments in unlisted companies.

The carrying value of investments not traded in an active market is determined using the above estimates and assumptions is \$22,890 and are disclosed as assets through profit or loss (note 8).

Transition to AASB 132 and AASB 139 $(a)$

The consolidated entity has taken the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement from 1 July 2005. For the consolidated entity, at the date of transition to these standards at 1 July 2005, a net adjustment of \$130,000 decrease in net assets was recognised representing a loss of \$130,000 on the re-measurement of interest rate swap contracts to fair value.

$(b)$ Instruments used by the consolidated entity

The consolidated entity is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business in order to limit exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

$(i)$ Interest rate derivative contracts - fair value

Bank loans of the consolidated entity currently bear an average variable interest rate of 6.18%. It is policy to protect part of the loans from exposure to increasing interest rates. Accordingly, the consolidated entity has entered into interest rate derivative contracts under which it is obliged to receive interest at variable rates and to pay interest at fixed rates.

Derivatives currently in place cover approximately $44\%$ ( $2005 - 11\%$ ) of the loan principal outstanding. The fixed interest rates range between $5.65\%$ and $6.12\%$ (2005 $-5.65\%$ ).

At 30 June 2006, the notional principal amounts and periods of expiry of the interest rate derivative contracts are as follows:

2006 2005
\$'000 \$'000
Less than 1 year $\bullet$ $\mathbf{r}$
$1 - 2$ years ٠ $\mathbf{r}$
$2 - 3$ years 100,000
$3 - 4$ years 100,000 ÷
$4 - 5$ years 175,000 75,000
Greater than 5 years 350,000
725.000 75,000

The contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable each reset date (generally 90 days). The settlement dates generally coincide with the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. The contracts are settled on a net basis.

The gain or loss from remeasuring the contracts at fair value is immediately recognised in the income statement. In the vear ended 30 June 2006 \$6,646,000 was transferred to profit and loss.

At balance date for the consolidated entity, and the Trust, these contracts were assets with fair value of \$6,516,000 (2005 - \$nil). In the year ended 30 June 2006 there was on the date of transition to AASB 132 and AASB 139 on 1 July 2005 a loss of \$130,000 on re-measurement to fair value; and a profit from the increase in fair value of \$6,646,000 during the year.

$(a)$ Impairment tests for goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the consolidated entities cash-generating units (CGU's) identified according to business segment. The consolidated entity is considered a single cash generating unit. The recoverable amount of goodwill is determined based on a value-in-use calculation. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. The growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for in which the business operates.

** Weighted average post-tax growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period

Management determined budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its expectations for the future. The weighted average growth rates used re consistent with forecasts included in industry reports. The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which they operate.

$(c)$ Impairment charge

No impairment charge has been calculated for the year ending 30 June 2006 (2005: \$0).

(d) Fair value (continued)

Other than those classes of borrowings denoted as "traded", none of the classes are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

The fair values for payables less than 6 months is deemed to equal the carrying amounts. All other payables are discounted if the effect of discounting is material.

On-balance sheet $(i)$

The fair value of borrowings is based upon market prices where a market exists or by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current interest rates for liabilities with similar risk profiles.

$(ii)$ Off-balance sheet

The Trust and certain controlled entities have potential financial liabilities which may arise from certain contingencies disclosed in note 28. As explained in those notes, no material losses are anticipated in respect of any of those contingencies and the fair value disclosed below is the directors' estimate of amounts which would be payable by the consolidated entity as consideration for the assumption of those contingencies by another party.

$(3)$ Reconciliation of cash flow statement for the year ended 30 June 2005

The adoption of AIFRS's has not resulted in any material adjustments to the cash flow statement.

$(4)$ Notes to the reconciliation

$(i)$ Investment Properties

Under AASB 140 Investment Property, the consolidated entity has elected to measure investment properties at fair value, with any gain or loss arising from changes in fair value, net of applicable tax, recognised through the income statement.

This has resulted in a change to the previous accounting policy under which changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in the asset revaluation reserve, with no provision recognised for tax unless it is expected that a liability for tax will crystallise.

In addition the carrying value of investment properties recorded in the balance sheet is inclusive of components relating to lease incentives. Under AGAAP rent free incentives were separately categorised on the balance sheet (i.e. in addition to the carrying value).

On transition to AIFRS, fair value adjustments for investment properties recorded in the asset revaluation reserve have been reclassified to retained earnings.

Property intended for sale in the ordinary course of business are not classified as investment properties but are classified as non-current assets held for sale. Investment properties in the process of construction and land held for development at cost are classified as property plant and equipment.

35. Explanation of transition to Australian equivalents to IFRSs (continued)

$(ii)$ Intangible Assets - Goodwill

Under AASB 3 Business Combinations, amortisation of goodwill is prohibited, and has been replaced by annual impairment testing focusing on the cash flows of the related cash generating unit or groups of cash generating units. This has resulted in a change to the previous AGAAP accounting policy, under which goodwill was amortised on a straight line basis over the period during which the benefits were expected to arise and not exceeding 20 years.

The consolidated entity has applied the exemption available in AASB 1, allowing it not to apply AASB 3 retrospectively and hence, prior years amortisation has not been written back at the date of transition, however amortisation from transition date to 30 June 2005 has been added back.

$(iii)$ Financial Instruments

The consolidated entity has taken advantage of the exemption available under AASB 1: First-time adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 only from 1 July 2005. This allows the consolidated entity to apply previous AGAAP to the comparative information of financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139 for the half year ending 31 December 2005 and full year ending 30 June 2006 financial statements.

Under AIFRS financial instruments will generally be recognised at fair value in the balance sheet. Derivatives taken out to reduce exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates may be accounted for as cash flow hedges provided that the hedge designation, documentation and effectiveness tests can be met. If these tests are satisfied the derivative is measured at fair value and gains and losses are reflected directly in equity until the hedged transaction occurs, when they are released to the income statement. To the extent that the hedges do not satisfy the above tests, then a corresponding portion of the gain or loss is reflected in the income statement directly.

On adoption of AASB 139 as at 1 July 2005, an adjustment to decrease retained earnings of \$130,000 has been recognised as the consolidated entity has assessed hedges not to be effective.

At the date of transition to these standards at 1 July 2005, equity securities with a carrying value of \$20,955 that were classified in the balance sheet under previous AGAAP as non-current other financial assets, were designated and re-classified as other financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

$(iv)$ Equity-based Compensation Benefits

Equity issued under the Employee Incentive Scheme that are non-recourse and held in trust have been derecognised on entry into AIFRS.

$(v)$ Lease incentives

Under AIFRS, all lease incentives provided under an operating lease are required to be recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis against rental income and are recognised as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of the carrying amount of investment properties.

This differs from the previous accounting policy, under which rent free incentives were separately classified as a receivable and amortised, and fitout incentives were capitalised as part of investment properties but were not amortised.

The amortisation of lease incentives has been offset by an adjustment to income from the revaluation of investment properties in order to maintain the fair value of investment properties. Such treatment results in no net impact on total equity at 1 July 2004, nor net profit for the year ended 30 June 2005.

Independent audit report to the unitholders of Mirvac Property Trust

Audit opinion

In our opinion, the financial report of Mirvac Property Trust:

  • gives a true and fair view, as required by the Corporations $Act 2001$ in Australia, of the financial position of Mirvac Property Trust and Mirvac Property Trust Group (defined below) as at 30 June 2006, and of their performance for the year ended on that date, and
  • $\bullet$ is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, statements of changes in equity, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for both Mirvac Property Trust (the trust) and the Mirvac Property Trust Group (the consolidated entity), for the year ended 30 June 2006. The consolidated entity comprises both the trust and the entities it controlled during the year.

The directors of the Mirvac Funds Limited, the responsible entity of the trust, 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 unitholders of the trust. 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. For further explanation of an audit, visit our website http://www.pwc.com/au/financialstatementaudit.

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, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the trust's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented

PRICEWATERHOUSE COPERS

by the results of their operations, changes in equity 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.

Our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual 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 conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.
