3 Directors report Directors report The directors of ( APN or the Group ) present herewith their report for the six months ended 31 December. The names of the directors of the company during or since the end of the period are: Christopher Aylward Executive Chairman Timothy Slattery Appointed Executive Director on 12 September Clive Appleton Non-Executive Director Howard Brenchley transitioned from Executive Director to Non-Executive Director on 1 July Review of Results and Operations Summary APN has reported a statutory net profit after tax of $8.5 million for the six-months ended 31 December, up 101% when compared to the prior comparable period (pcp). Diluted statutory earnings per share from continuing and discontinued operations increased 57% from 2.57 cents to 4.03 cents. Total Funds under Management (FuM) increased 5% and 19% from 30 June and 31 December 2013 respectively to $2.1 billion as at 31 December. The Group s balance sheet remains strong with net assets totalling $64.8 million, including cash of $11.1 million and co-investments in the Group s managed funds of $48.6 million. Debt, currently maturing in August 2015, remains modest at $5.0 million. Operating earnings (before tax) increased to $5.4 million, up $0.2 million versus pcp. On a cents per share basis, operating earnings before tax were 2.55 cents per share, down 0.59 cents reflecting a reduction in transaction and performance fees and an expanded capital base following the equity raising completed in December An analysis of the components of operating earnings before tax is as follows: Dec- Dec-2013 Fund management fees 5,861 4,885 Performance and transaction fees 3,671 6,154 Asset and project management fees Registry and other fees 1,165 1,252 Total net funds management income 11,602 12,938 Co-investment income 1, Total net income 13,130 13,450 Employment costs (4,655) (4,735) Occupancy costs (566) (595) Other costs (1,421) (1,503) Depreciation & amortisation (34) (68) Finance income / (expense) 1 (19) 145 Minority interest (MI) share of operating earnings (before tax) (1,054) (1,526) Operating earnings before tax 2 5,381 5,168 Other non-operating items, including income tax 3,129 (941) Statutory profit after tax 8,510 4,227 1: Previously disclosed as part a non-operating item 2: Operating earnings before tax is an unaudited measurement used by management as the key performance measurement of underlying performance of the Group. It excludes certain items recorded in the income statement including income tax, discontinued operations (Europe) and the fair value movements on the Group s co-investments. Total net income for the 6 months to 31 December declined marginally to $13.1 million from $13.5 million following a $2.5 million reduction in performance and transaction fees. Significantly APN reported strong growth in funds management fees and co-investment income, increasing 20% and 198% respectively, attributable to the continued growth in Funds under Management (FuM), the establishment of Industria REIT in December 2013 and APN s significant co-investment stakes in both Industria REIT and Generation Healthcare REIT. Current period net performance and transaction fees included project initiation fees of $0.8 million from the Newmark APN Auburn Property Fund, performance and disposal fees of $0.8 million following the successful conclusion of the APN 541 St Kilda Road Property Fund and $2.0 million in performance fees from Generation Healthcare REIT following its significant outperformance for investors compared to the S&P/ASX 300 AREIT Accumulation Index. 1

4 Directors report The Group has continued with its focus on optimising its operating costs and leveraging its funds management platform, delivering a reduction of $0.2 million to $6.7 million for the period ended 31 December. Other non-operating items totalled $3.1m for the period compared to a loss of $0.9m in the pcp and included coinvestment mark to market gains of $4.7 million, net income tax expense of $1.1 million (partially offset by the recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses totalling $2.4 million) and a $0.3 million loss on continued wind up of APN s legacy European funds (discontinued operations). Real Estate Securities Funds under Management totalled $1.15 billion as at 31 December, up from $1.0 billion at 30 June, reflecting net inflows of approximately $30 million across the product suite and favourable AREIT market movements. The APN AREIT Fund continues to lead APN s Real Estate Securities product suite with net inflows averaging almost $20 million per month for the period. The Fund s market awareness and availability continues to improve and we are pleased to have been advised of its recent addition to the approved product list for ANZ Wealth. The re-opening of the APN Property for Income Funds to daily applications and redemptions from July has resulted in net outflows of approximately $66 million for the period. After its initial peak, redemption levels have continued to progressively reduce over the remaining period. Generation Healthcare REIT Generation Healthcare REIT reported another strong financial result for the half year ended 31 December. Underlying net operating income was up 78% to $8.4 million compared to pcp, with a total return (unit price movements, assuming the reinvestment of distributions) of 18.7% for the period, substantially outperforming the S&P/ASX AREIT Accumulation Index return by 6.0%. FY2015 forecast earnings and distribution guidance has been upgraded by 4.3% to 9.60 cents per unit and 2.0% to 8.58 cents per unit. Funds under Management totalled $341 million, up from $325 million at 30 June. The Fund s organic growth opportunities continues to be an area of focus, with significant efforts expended on activating / converting the Healthscope anchored expansion of the Frankston Private facility and the St John of God Healthcare memorandum of understanding for Casey Stage 2. Committed projects now stand at $45 million, with an identified work in progress pipeline (Casey Stage 2) totalling approximately $50 million. Industria REIT Industria REIT s Funds under Management totalled $405 million at the period end, broadly consistent with 30 June. Active portfolio management has maintained occupancy in a difficult leasing market and improved the property portfolio s weighted average lease term to 5.1 years at 31 December. An interim distribution of 8.36 cents per security has been declared, in line with PDS forecasts. A continuation of subdued leasing conditions, particularly in the Brisbane office market, has resulted in updated full year distribution guidance of cents per security. At a portfolio level, management continues its focus on asset recycling initiatives. In December, 53 Brandl Street, Brisbane was sold for a $10.25 million, a profit compared to its book value. Management s focus remains on intensive asset management to reduce vacancy and improve portfolio WALE, whilst exploring further asset recycling opportunities to improve sector diversification. Direct Funds Funds under Management totalled $231 million at 31 December compared to $252 million at 30 June, following the successful conclusion of the APN 541 St Kilda Road Fund. Development activities have shown good progress for the Newmark APN Auburn Property Fund and subsequent to 31 December the Group has accepted an unsolicited offer from an institutional investor to acquire the asset on its expected completion in early FY2016 resulting in a forecast return ahead of initial expectations. The APN Coburg North Retail Fund was successfully launched during the period (settled in February 2015), capitalising on investor s appetite for quality assets with the potential to deliver sustainable income yields and capital growth over time. The Neighbourhood shopping centre is anchored by a high quality tenant in Woolworths Limited and has a long weighted average lease expiry of 13.9 years. Assets possessing these characteristics have strong appeal to our investor base and are actively being sought for new unlisted fund opportunities. Outlook The transaction market for commercial property remains strong for quality real estate, with demand for investment grade property particularly strong. Capitalisation rates continue to tighten as the low interest rate environment continues to drive investor demand for sustainable and transparent property income yields. However the leasing market remains subdued, reflecting poor consumer sentiment and political uncertainty. Western Australia and Queensland are most affected with both forecast to experience weakness as their economies deal with the conclusion of the mining investment boom and lower commodity prices. 2

5 Directors report The recent move by the Reserve Bank to cut interest rates by a further 0.25% has been required to stimulate the economy and, from a property funds management perspective, further enhance the appeal of strong cash back property yields that are supported by long term leases to quality tenants. Earnings Guidance APN remains well positioned to grow its business in the current economic environment, with its focus on investor products that demonstrate transparent cashflows and sustainable income yields. Operating earnings before tax has been upgraded to 3.30 to 3.60 cents per share for FY2015 following the continued strength in the underlying businesses and a number of successful transactions completed during the period including the establishment of the APN Coburg North Retail Fund and the strong outperformance of Generation Healthcare REIT versus its benchmarks. The upgraded operating earnings before tax guidance remain subject to the continuation of the current economic and regulatory environments. Subsequent events On 9 February 2015, APN Property Group announced that it had completed the acquisition of the Coburg Hill Shopping Centre for the APN Coburg North Retail Fund. The APN Coburg North Retail Fund is a new 7 year unlisted property syndicate that is forecast to deliver investors with a 7.40% distribution yield in FY2015 increasing to 7.60% in FY2016 which will be at least 90% tax deferred. On 20 February 2015, APN Funds Management Limited, the responsible entity of the Newmark APN Auburn Property Fund announced that it had executed a conditional contract of sale and development agreement for The Marketplace, Auburn. Subject to the completion of the redevelopment works on time and budget, investor returns are forecast to be 50% - 60% on their initial investment. APN holds a 5.4% co-investment stake in this fund and is also entitled to a performance fee, based on the projects actual gross profit on completion, currently estimated at approximately $1.1 $1.2 million before tax (~$0.8 million after tax) in FY2016. Dividend Directors have declared an interim dividend of 1.25 cents per share. The dividend will be fully franked and paid on 14 April 2015 to investors registered on 27 March Except as outlined above, the directors have not become aware of any other significant matter or circumstances that has arisen since 31 December, that has affected or may affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent years, which has not been covered in this report.

21 Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements 8. Fair value of financial instruments (cont d) Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered active but where values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within level 2. Classified within level 3 are investments in unlisted funds whose primary investments are direct property assets. The fair value of these investments is determined using the latest available prices (net tangible asset values) provided by the product issuer. These prices may have been calculated using models with unobservable inputs and assumptions that may not necessarily be supported by prices from observable current market transactions. In particular, in recent times the liquidity of both unlisted funds and their underlying investments has decreased thereby limiting the availability of observable market transactions for similar financial instrument. Accordingly, the valuation of these investments is subject to greater uncertainty and requires greater judgement than would be the case for level 1 and 2 financial instruments. 9. Contingent assets and liabilities There is no change to contingent assets and liabilities during the period. 10.
