11 Notes to the Financial Statements 1 General information This financial report covers (the "Trust") as an individual entity. The Trust was constituted on 25 February The Trust is expected to terminate on 31 December 2022 or at a later date, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Constitution. The Trust is a registered managed investment scheme domiciled in Australia. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. The Responsible Entity of the Trust is Macquarie Financial Products Management Limited (the "Responsible Entity''). The Responsible Entity s registered office is No. 50 Martin Place, Sydney, NSW The Trust issued units at 1 per unit (GST free) in order to purchase the land on which the forestry plantations are situated. Land owned by the Trust is used for forestry plantation purposes by the investors of the Macquarie Eucalypt Project The Macquarie Eucalypt Project 2011 is a managed investment scheme and its Responsible Entity is Macquarie Alternative Assets Management Limited ("MAAML"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited ("MGL"). The Trust has leased the plantable land to MAAML and is entitled to receive annual lease rental income at the rate of 669 per hectare (2017: 649 per hectare) of plantable land (escalating each year by 3%). Deferred rent equal to 4.95% of net harvest proceeds (or insurance proceeds) will also be receivable from MAAML during the harvest period. The Trust will continue to be managed in accordance with the investment objective and strategy set out in the Trust s offer document and in accordance with the Trust Constitution. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 25 September The directors of the Responsible Entity have the power to amend and reissue the financial report. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated in the following text. (a) Basis of preparation This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia. The financial report is prepared on the basis of fair value measurement of assets and liabilities except where otherwise stated. The statement of financial position is presented on a liquidity basis. Assets and liabilities are presented in decreasing order of liquidity and do not distinguish between current and non-current. All balances are expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months, except for land and net assets attributable to unitholders. The amount expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months after the end of each reporting period cannot be reliably determined. Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to be consistent with current period disclosures. Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 9

12 Notes to the Financial Statements 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (b) Net assets attributable to unitholders Units are redeemable at the end of the Trust's finite life and are therefore classified as financial liabilities. The fair value of redeemable units is measured at the redemption amount that would be received if units were redeemed at the reporting date. (c) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and deposits held at call with financial institutions. Cash equivalents include other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. Bank overdrafts, if any, are shown separately on the statement of financial position. (d) Land Land is initially recognised at acquisition cost. The Responsible Entity assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that the carrying value of the land may be impaired. Impairment exists if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events, which have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the land that can be reliably estimated. When such instances occur, the land is written down to its recoverable amount and the decrement recognised as impairment losses in the statement of comprehensive income in the financial year in which the recoverable amount write-down occurs. The recoverable amount of the land is measured at the higher of the land's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows including expected lease rental income are discounted to their present value. As the lease rolls off in future years, this may impact the assessment of value in use and the recoverable amount. An impairment is generally reversed if the recoverable amount of an investment is more than its carrying value and that can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses were recognised. The previously recognised impairment losses are reversed in the statement of comprehensive income. (e) Loan The loan is recognised at fair value initially and is subsequently carried at amortised cost. (f) Investment income Lease rental income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on an accruals basis. (g) Expenses All expenses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on an accruals basis. (h) Income tax Under current legislation, the Trust is not subject to income tax as unitholders are presently entitled to the income of the Trust. 10

13 Notes to the Financial Statements 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (i) Distributions to unitholders In accordance with the Trust Constitution, the Trust fully distributes its distributable income, and any other amounts determined by the Responsible Entity, to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. Reinvested distributions will be utilised for the repayment of the loan from Macquarie Bank Limited ("MBL"). The distributions to unitholders are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as finance costs attributable to unitholders. (j) Movement in net assets attributable to unitholders Income and expenses that are not included in distributable income and not distributed to unitholders are included in net assets attributable to unitholders. Movements in net assets attributable to unitholders are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as finance costs attributable to unitholders. (k) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the Trust s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the functional currency ). This is the Australian dollar, which reflects the currency of the economy in which the Trust competes for funds and is regulated. The Australian dollar is also the Trust s presentation currency. (l) Receivables Receivables include assets and accrued income owing to the Trust which have not been received as at the statement of financial position date and may include such items as lease rental income and Reduced Input Tax Credits ("RITC"). (m) Payables Payables include liabilities, accrued expenses and Goods and Services Tax ("GST") owing by the Trust which are unpaid as at the statement of financial position date. (n) GST Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST to the extent that the GST is recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO"). Where GST is not recoverable, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. Receivables and payables are recognised inclusive of GST. RITC recoverable by the Trust from the ATO are recognised as receivables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are disclosed in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and cash flows relating to GST, recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are included as cash flows from operating activities. (o) Use of estimates The Trust may make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 11

14 Notes to the Financial Statements 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (p) New accounting standards and interpretations Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2018 reporting period. The Responsible Entity s assessment of the impact of these new standards (to the extent relevant to the Trust) and interpretations is set out below: (i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments and consequential amendments AASB 9 Financial Instruments applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and will therefore apply to the Trust from 1 July AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The current four categories of financial assets, stipulated in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, will be replaced with three classification categories: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss. The application of the Standard does not have a significant impact on the recognition, classification and measurement of the Trust's financial instruments. (ii) AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and will therefore apply to the Trust from 1 July AASB 15 replaces all current guidance on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. It requires identification of discrete performance obligations within a transaction and an associated transaction price allocation to these obligations. Revenue is recognised upon satisfaction of these performance obligations, which occur when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer. The application of the requirements of AASB 15 are consistent with the Trust's accounting policies. Consequently, the application of the standard will not have a significant effect on the financial position, performance or financial report disclosures of the Trust. (iii) AASB 16 Leases AASB 16 Leases applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and will therefore apply to the Trust from 1 July AASB 16 Leases requires recognition of a right of use asset along with the associated lease liability where the entity is a lessee. Interest expense will be recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method, and the right of use asset will be depreciated. Lessor accounting will largely remain unchanged. The Trust is continuing to assess the full impact of adopting AASB 16 Leases. Standards and interpretations that are not expected to have material impact on the Trust have not been included. (q) Rounding of amounts In accordance with Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors Reports) Instrument 2016/191, amounts in the directors report and the financial report have been rounded off to the nearest Australian dollar, unless otherwise indicated. 12

15 Notes to the Financial Statements 3 Financial risk management (a) Strategy in using financial instruments The Trust's activities expose it to interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Responsible Entity s overall risk management programme focuses on ensuring compliance with the Trust s Product Disclosure Statement and seeks to maximise the returns derived for the level of risk to which the Trust is exposed. The Responsible Entity reviews any identified high and medium severity exceptions to internal risk policies and procedures on a quarterly basis. (b) Interest rate risk The Trust is not subject to significant amounts of interest rate risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. The Trust holds a loan from MBL. There is no interest rate risk in relation to the loan balance as it carries a fixed interest rate of 7.65% per annum. (c) Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, unsettled receipts and other financial assets. None of these assets are impaired nor past due but not impaired. The exposure to credit risk is managed by only holding bank accounts with MBL which has an investment grade credit rating (2017: investment grade credit rating) as determined by Standard and Poor's rating agency. (d) Liquidity risk The Trust is subject to liquidity risk in relation to the financial liabilities it holds. The Trust is required to pay the net assets attributable to unitholders on termination of the Trust, which is expected to occur on 31 December 2022 or at a later date, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Constitution. The table below analyses the Trust s financial liabilities (excluding net assets attributable to unitholders) into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period to the earliest possible contractual maturity date at 30 June 2018 and 30 June The amounts in the table are contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Trust s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Trust to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
