Directors report The Directors of Real Estate Capital Partners Managed Investments Limited ( Responsible Entity ), the Responsible Entity for the Real Estate Capital Partners USA Property Trust ( Trust ) (ASX: RCU) present their report together with the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 and the auditor s report thereon. The Consolidated Entity comprises the Trust and the entities it controlled during the financial year. The Trust became a registered managed investment scheme under the Corporations Act 2001 on 26 May 2005. Responsible entity and Investment Manager The Responsible Entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Trust Company Limited (ASX: TRU) whose registered office and principal place of business is Level 15, 20 Bond Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. Real Estate Capital Partners Management Pty Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Real Estate Capital Partners Pty Limited, is the Investment Manager ( Investment Manager ) of the Trust resulting in a separation between the investment management and the corporate governance functions in relation to the Trust. Directors The Directors of the Responsible Entity during or since the end of the financial year are: John Atkin David Grbin Michael Britton Sally Ascroft (Alternate Director for David Grbin for the period 24 June 2010 to 1 August 2010) (Alternate Director for Michael Britton for the period 31 March 2011 to 24 June 2011) Vicki Allen (Resigned 18 March 2011) Principal activities The Trust is a registered managed investment scheme domiciled in Australia. The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year were property investment in the United States of America. There were no significant changes in the nature of the Consolidated Entity s activities during the year. The Trust and the Consolidated Entity did not have any employees during the year. Results The Consolidated Entity incurred a loss from operations after tax for the current year of $17,273,000 (2010: $6,174,000 loss). This loss was principally due to a decline in the fair value of investment properties owned by the Trust of $15,020,000 (2010: $7,135,000 loss) and the decline in the fair value of the Montgomery, New York property which is held for sale by $2,682,000 (2010: $Nil). Rental income from investment properties decreased during the year to $21,071,000 (2010: $28,196,000) and recoverable outgoings also decreased to $5,112,000 (2010: $5,533,000). The reduction in revenue was largely attributable to the strong appreciation of the Australian Dollar against the US Dollar and the sale of the Derry Meadows property during the financial year. 1

Directors report (continued) Distributions Distributions paid or payable in respect of the financial year were: 2011 2010 $ 000 Cents per unit $ 000 Cents per unit Interim distributions paid - - 6,591 2.40 Final distribution payable - - 1,814 0.60 - - 8,405 3.00 The Investment Manager advised unitholders in September 2010 that it was aligning the Trust s distribution policy from quarterly to half-yearly distributions, and deferring distributions to preserve capital pending completion of the Record Realty Holdings (US) Trust transaction (see below). The Directors of the Responsible Entity do not recommend the payment of a distribution. Review of operations Continuing operations The Trust holds a portfolio of 6 (2010: 7) properties in the United States through holding all the common stock (ordinary shares) in a private United States investment trust company, Mariner American Property Income REIT Limited ( US REIT ). The US REIT in turn holds 6 (2010: 7) special purpose entities which each hold a property. Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements sets out more fully this ownership structure. Operationally, the Consolidated Entity entered into 5 lease renewals during the period, comprising a total of 21,800 square feet. Leasing highlights included significant renewal activity at both of the properties in Chicago, Illinois, resulting in a high tenant retention rate at those properties. Since the end of the financial year, a further 2 lease renewals have been executed for the Chicago, Illinois properties, comprising 8,403 square feet. Portfolio occupancy has remained steady over the period and was 88.8% as at 30 June 2011, with a weighted average lease expiry of 5.7 years. The Investment Manager continues to actively seek new tenants to increase portfolio occupancy and income, and is presently engaged in a range of lease negotiations across the portfolio. The Investment Manager has re-commenced a sales program to dispose of the investment property at Montgomery, New York. The latest marketing campaign for this asset commenced in July 2011. If the sale of the property is concluded, proceeds will be applied to repay debt. Sale of retail property On 8 February 2011 the investment property at Derry Meadows was sold, with the net proceeds of $20.436 million used to repay the loan secured by the property. Capital management On 6 August 2010 the short-term loans for Bedford Woods, Pfingsten and Montgomery were refinanced by new loans from Commonwealth Bank of Australia Limited ( CBA ) and Pearlmark Real Estate Partners (formerly Transwestern Realty Partners) for a term expiring on 6 August 2012. The funds from these new facilities were used to repay part of the original CBA loans. The Investment Manager has already commenced work on refinancing this debt and has appointed specialist US debt advisors to assist with sourcing new loans. 2

Directors report (continued) Review of operations (continued) Capital management (continued) The Parsippany loan of US$44.0 million expired on 11 January 2011 and is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet as at 30 June 2011. Subsequent to the expiry, the Consolidated Entity made a US$5.75 million principal repayment on the loan. The Investment Manager is working with the lender to agree the terms of a forbearance agreement implementing an extension until 30 April 2012. During the year to 30 June 2011, a total of A$40.2 million was successfully raised through an A$3.2 million placement in December 2010 and a A$37.0 million unit entitlement offer in March 2011. Subsequent to the capital raising, a 20-for-1 unit consolidation was completed in May 2011. Record Realty Holdings (US) Trust ( RRT ) Investment The Trust has an investment of 35% in the US portfolio of the formerly listed Record Realty ( RRT portfolio ) which comprises 21 commercial properties primarily leased to the US Government via the United States General Services Administration ( GSA ). The GSA portfolio is divided between Pool A of 12 properties with a gross value of US$258.51 million and Pool B of 9 properties with a gross value of US$238.53 million. Prior to 30 June 2010, the Trust entered into a unit sale deed with the receivers of Record Realty to acquire 100% of the units in the Record Realty Holdings (US) Trust, being the entity through which the RRT portfolio was held, and a note purchase agreement with UBS in respect of the subordinated debt which financed the RRT portfolio. Prior to 30 June 2010, the Trust paid non-refundable deposits of A$3 million and US$7.5 million (A$8.655 million) to the receivers of Record Realty and UBS in respect of the unit sale deed and note purchase agreement respectively. Additionally, refundable deposits of A$0.464 million and A$0.682 million of transaction costs were capitalised as at 30 June 2010. These amounts, totalling A$12.801 million, were disclosed as non-current other assets as at 30 June 2010 (Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements). The Investment Manager intended to fund the acquisition in part by a capital raising involving a placement to Saban Capital Group ( Saban ) and an underwritten rights issue. However, as a consequence of potentially adverse United States taxation implications for Saban, the unit sale deed was re-structured as set out in the ASX announcement dated 13 December 2010 and by 31 December 2010 the Trust had attained an underlying 14.5% interest in the transaction (being the deposits paid to date), with an option to increase its interest to 35%. During March 2011 A$37.0 million was raised by the Trust via a fully underwritten entitlements offer, of which A$16.2 million was paid to exercise its option to increase its economic interest of the underlying transaction to 35%. Whilst the property transfers to SGSA II (being the joint venture entity in which the Trust will have a 35% interest) required to crystallise the ownership structure of the Pool A assets of the RRT portfolio have not yet occurred, the Investment Manager believes that the transfers will occur before 26 November 2011, being the date by which the transfers are required to take place under the unit sale deed. 3

Directors report (continued) Review of operations (continued) Record Realty Holdings (US) Trust ( RRT ) Investment (continued) The Pool B assets do not contribute to the value of the RRT investment as the portfolio s debt of US$284.04 million exceeds its value of US$238.5 million, and there is no recourse on the debt. An additional US$1.05M was paid in support of an indemnity granted to the receivers. This latter amount is refundable to the Trust if no claim is made on the indemnity within 3 months of completion of the agreement with the receivers of Record Realty. The Trust s investment in the RRT property portfolio is consistent with the Investment Manager s objective of providing stable distributions and achieving growth through capturing the recovery in the USA property market combined with an active management programme. Going concern The consolidated financial report of the Trust has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Parsippany property loan As at 30 June 2011 the Consolidated Entity had a deficiency of net current assets of $31,466,000 (2010: $114,070,000). The principal reason for the deficiency of net current assets is the classification of the expired non-recourse Parsippany property loan of $35,674,000 as a current liability. Funds held in escrow in respect of this loan as at 30 June 2011, and classified as a non-current asset (and not offset against the current liability) amounted to $856,000. The fair value of the Parsippany property at 30 June 2011, also classified as a non-current asset, is $41,970,000 (2010: $65,176,000). The Investment Manager is presently negotiating the terms of a forbearance agreement and loan extension with the loan servicer. The Investment Manager is simultaneously seeking to re-finance the Parsippany loan on a long-term basis together with loans in respect of the Bedford Woods, Pfingsten and Montgomery properties which all mature in August 2012. Whilst there are no assurances that the Trust will be able to obtain an extension to or re-finance the Parsippany property loan, the sale of the property at fair value would be likely to realise sufficient funds to extinguish the loan. It is noted that the loan is recourse only to the Parsippany property and does not impact upon the other continuing operations of the Consolidated Entity. If the Parsippany property is unable to be sold or re-financed in the ordinary course of business, and the current financier sells the property under the limited recourse security arrangements, the property may not realise the amounts included in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011. Working capital The Consolidated statement of cash flows discloses that the Consolidated Entity used $3,512,000 in operations (2010: $3,675,000 generated by operations). Furthermore, as at 30 June 2011 the Consolidated Entity had a deficiency of working capital (being the amount of payables in excess of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables) of $3,321,000 (2010: $3,061,000). Included in payables are amounts relating to tenant security deposits of $137,000 (2010: $242,000), rent received in advance of $1,437,000 (2010: $2,079,000), accrued real estate taxes of $1,331,000 (2010: $1,786,000) and accrued interest payable of $1,380,000 (2010: $205,000). These amounts, which total $4,285,000 (2010: $4,312,000) are not immediately payable or refundable to tenants, and accordingly, once excluded from the calculation, the Consolidated Entity would have a surplus of working capital of $126,000 (2010: $729,000). 4

Directors report (continued) Going concern (continued) Working capital (continued) The Investment Manager has prepared cashflow budgets through to December 2012 which indicates that, upon normalisation of operating cashflow following completion of the RRT acquisition, the Consolidated Entity will generate sufficient funds to meet its working capital and financing requirements. The cashflow budgets have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Investment Manager s business plans for the Consolidated Entity. Conclusion The Directors of the Responsible Entity believe that, because: if the Parsippany property is unable to be sold or re-financed in the ordinary course of business, and the current financier sells the property under the limited recourse security arrangements, those arrangements do not impact upon the continuing operations of the Consolidated Entity; the cashflow budgets prepared by the Investment Manager indicate that the Consolidated Entity will generate sufficient funds to meet its working capital and financing requirements; and good progress has been made and there are reasonable grounds to believe, all the transfers of the RRT portfolio will be achieved; there are reasonable grounds to consider that the Consolidated Entity will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and have determined that the preparation of the financial report on a going concern basis to be appropriate. However, if the Parsippany loan is unable to be re-negotiated or operating cashflows do not remain in line with forecasts there is significant uncertainty surrounding the Trust s ability to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due and as such the Trust may be required to realise the Parsippany investment property at an amount lower than that stated in the financial statements. Significant changes in the state of affairs In the opinion of the Directors of the Responsible Entity there have been no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Trust which occurred during the financial year not otherwise disclosed in this Directors Report or the attached financial report. Interest of the Responsible Entity The Responsible Entity and its associates have not held any units in the Trust during the financial year. Responsible Entity fees, related party fees and other transactions Except as disclosed in this report or in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, no Director of the Responsible Entity has received or become entitled to receive any benefit because of a contract made by the Responsible Entity or a related entity with a Director or with a firm of which a Director is a member or with an entity of which a Director of the Responsible Entity has a substantial interest. All transactions with related parties are conducted on commercial terms and conditions. 5

A prepayment of $73,476 was paid to the Responsible Entity for management fees bringing the total paid for the year to $238,896. The Responsible Entity fees have been included in Responsible Entity fees in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. By agreement between the Investment Manager and the Responsible Entity, the Responsible Entity retains a fee based on 0.08% of the gross assets (plus expenses properly incurred) and the balance of the Responsible Entity fees, asset management fees and expense recovery fees are paid to the Investment Manager). ii Asset management and administration fees are calculated on 2.0% (1.0% of gross assets after 1 January 2011) of the net and 3.0% of the gross income of the USA REIT respectively, and are included in asset management fees in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. iii Management expense recovery fees have been included in other operating costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. iv Expenses paid in respect of the Record Realty (US) Trust acquisition are included in acquisition costs; see Note 6 for further details. v Capitalised to issue costs; refer Note 19. vii This fee was paid for the management and co-ordination of the re-financing of 3 US properties and was calculated in accordance with the Constitution at 0.5% of the amount re-financed. These fees are included within borrowing costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. vii This was paid to the US Asset Manager for the sale of the Derry Meadows property. The fee is included in the determination of the loss on sale of investment property costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Director of the Investment Manager transactions During the financial year the Trust entered into and repaid a subordinated loan agreement with a Director of Real Estate Capital Partners Management Pty Limited, the Investment Manager of the Trust for $1,466,000 (US$1,500,000) at an interest rate of 12% per annum to assist in the closing of the RRT transaction. An establishment fee of $293,000 (US$300,000) was paid upon repayment of the loan. The establishment fee is equal to the Director s costs of obtaining a loan which was on-lent to the Trust and for which the Director provided a personal guarantee. The Director did not receive any profit from the lending transaction, the expenses, interest and fees paid by the Trust equalling the expenses, fees and interest paid by the Director. 7

Directors report (continued) Likely developments The focus of management is on leasing vacant space in the portfolio, with a number of active negotiations advanced. In addition, the refinancing of the debt that matures prior to August 2012 is in progress, with advisers appointed to place the debt. The management team is focussed on actively managing both the leasing and refinance processes. Events subsequent to the end of the reporting period There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Responsible Entity, to affect significantly the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity, in future financial years. Indemnification and insurance of officers and auditors Indemnification Under the Trust s Constitution, the Responsible Entity, including its officers and employees, is indemnified out of the Trust s assets for any loss, damage, expense or other liability incurred by it in properly performing or exercising any of its powers, duties or rights in relation to the Trust. The Trust has not indemnified or made a relevant agreement for indemnifying against a liability any person who is or has been auditor of the Trust. Insurance premiums As part of its insurance arrangements, Real Estate Capital Partners Pty Limited paid insurance premiums in respect of Directors and officers liability insurance contracts covering Directors and officers of the Responsible Entity until 31 May 2010 when the sale of the Responsible Entity to The Trust Company (RE Services) Limited was completed. From 1 June 2010, the Responsible Entity is covered under The Trust Company Limited group insurance policy. In addition, the Directors and officers of the Responsible Entity have runoff insurance cover in relation to the period prior to its acquisition by The Trust Company Limited group. 8

1. Reporting entity Real Estate Capital Partners USA Property Trust (the Trust ), is a registered managed investment scheme under the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial report of the Trust as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011 comprises the Trust and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Consolidated Entity and individually as Group entities ). The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year were the derivation of rental income from the following investment properties located in the United States of America ( USA ): Derry Meadows Shoppes, Derry, New Hampshire ( Derry Meadows ); Route 10, Parsippany, New Jersey ( Parsippany ); 191 Neelytown Rd, Montgomery, New York ( Montgomery ); Middlesex Turnpike, Bedford Woods, Massachusetts ( Bedford Woods ); Pfingsten Road, Deerfield, Illinois ( Pfingsten ); Centennial Avenue, Piscataway, New Jersey ( One Centennial ); and Higgins Road, Des Plains, Illinois ( Higgins ). 2. Basis of preparation (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ( AASBs ) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ). The financial statements were authorised for issue Directors of the Responsible Entity on 31 August 2011. (b) Going concern The consolidated financial report of the Trust has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Parsippany property loan As at 30 June 2011 the Consolidated Entity had a deficiency of net current assets of $31,466,000 (2010: $114,070,000). The principal reason for the deficiency of net current assets is the classification of the expired non-recourse Parsippany property loan of $35,674,000 as a current liability. Funds held in escrow in respect of this loan as at 30 June 2011, and classified as a non-current asset (and not offset against the current liability) amounted to $856,000. The fair value of the Parsippany property at 30 June 2011, also classified as a non-current asset, is $41,970,000 (2010: $65,176,000). The Investment Manager is presently negotiating the terms of a forebearance agreement and loan extension with the loan servicer. The Investment Manager is simultaneously seeking to re-finance the Parsippany loan on a long-term basis together with loans in respect of the Bedford Woods, Pfingsten and Montgomery properties which all mature in August 2012. Whilst there are no assurances that the Trust will be able to obtain an extension to or re-finance the Parsippany property loan, the sale of the property at fair value would be likely to realise sufficient funds to extinguish the loan. It is noted that the loan is recourse only to the Parsippany property and does not impact upon the other continuing operations of the Consolidated Entity. 16

Basis of preparation (continued) (b) Going concern (continued) If the Parsippany property is unable to be sold or re-financed in the ordinary course of business, and the current financier sells the property under the limited recourse security arrangements, the property may not realise the amounts included in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011. Working capital The Consolidated statement of cash flows discloses that the Consolidated Entity used $3,512,000 in operations (2010: $3,675,000 generated by operations). Furthermore, as at 30 June 2011 the Consolidated Entity had a deficiency of working capital (being the amount of payables in excess of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables) of $3,321,000 (2010: $3,061,000). Included in payables are amounts relating to tenant security deposits of $137,000 (2010: $242,000), rent received in advance of $1,437,000 (2010: $2,079,000), accrued real estate taxes of $1,331,000 (2010: $1,786,000) and accrued interest payable of $1,380,000 (2010: $205,000). These amounts, which total $4,285,000 (2010: $4,312,000) are not immediately payable or refundable to tenants, and accordingly, once excluded from the calculation, the Consolidated Entity would have a surplus of working capital of $126,000 (2010: $729,000). The Investment Manager has prepared cashflow budgets through to December 2012 which indicates that, upon normalisation of operating cashflow following completion of the RRT acquisition, the Consolidated Entity will generate sufficient funds to meet its working capital and financing requirements. The cashflow budgets have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Investment Manager s business plans for the Consolidated Entity. Conclusion The Directors of the Responsible Entity believe that, because: if the Parsippany property is unable to be sold or re-financed in the ordinary course of business, and the current financier sells the property under the limited recourse security arrangements, those arrangements do not impact upon the continuing operations of the Consolidated Entity; the cashflow budgets prepared by the Investment Manager indicate that the Consolidated Entity will generate sufficient funds to meet its working capital and financing requirements; and good progress has been made and there are reasonable grounds to believe, all the transfers of the RRT portfolio will be achieved; there are reasonable grounds to consider that the Consolidated Entity will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and have determined that the preparation of the financial report on a going concern basis to be appropriate. However, if the Parsippany loan is unable to be re-negotiated or operating cashflows do not remain in line with forecasts there is significant uncertainty surrounding the Trust s ability to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due and as such the Trust may be required to realise the Parsippany investment property at an amount lower than that stated in the financial statements. (c) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following: derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value; investment properties are measured at fair value; financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in Notes 3(c), 3(h) and 3(j). 17

2. Basis of preparation (continued) (d) Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars ( A$ ), which is the Trust s presentation currency. The Trust s functional currency is Australian dollars; however, the Consolidated Entity is predominantly comprised of operations located in the USA. The functional currency of the controlled entities that hold these operations is United States dollars ( US$ ). The Trust and Consolidated Entity are of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated. (e) Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are outlined below: Investment properties Valuation Investment properties are valued each reporting date to reflect their fair value according to the Trust s policy on valuing property. Other investments Valuation The Trust s investment in the Record Realty Holdings (US) Trust ( RRT ) acquisition has been valued by reference to the Trust s underlying interest in the net assets of RRT. In determining the net assets of RRT, the Trust has commissioned external valuations of RRT s investment properties consistent with the Trust s own policy for valuing investment property. Financial instruments Valuation The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined by reference to market values. 3. Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. (a) Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Consolidated Entity. Control exists when the Consolidated Entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing whether control exists, potential voting rights that are presently exercisable are considered. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. A schedule of subsidiaries is set out in 18

3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries (continued) Note 24 to these consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Trust using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to align any dissimilar accounting policies which may exist. In the Trust s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, less impairment. Transactions eliminated on consolidation All inter-entity balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. (b) Foreign currency Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign currency exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign currency closing exchange rate ruling at the end of the reporting period. Foreign currency exchange differences arising on translation and realised gains and losses on disposals or settlements of monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign currency closing exchange rates ruling at the dates that the values were determined. Foreign currency exchange differences relating to investments at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments are included in gains and losses on investments and net gain/loss on derivatives, respectively. All other foreign currency exchange differences relating to monetary items, including cash and cash equivalents, are presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at the exchange rate at reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at the average exchange rate for the year. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve ( Translation reserve ) in equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control or significant influence is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Consolidated Entity disposes of only part of: its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation whilst retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests; and its investment in an associate that includes a foreign operation whilst retaining significant influence, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is re-classified to profit or loss. 19

3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Financial instruments (i) Classification The Consolidated Entity s financial instruments comprise: the category of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprising of interest rate options and its investment in RRT; financial instruments that are classified as loans and receivables including trade and other receivables and related party loans receivable; financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss including trade and other payables and loans and borrowings; and cash and cash equivalents. (ii) Recognition The Consolidated Entity recognises financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss on the date it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Other financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the date they originated. Financial liabilities are not recognised unless one of the parties has performed or the contract is a derivative contract not exempted from the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. (iii) Measurement Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value ( transaction price ) plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are expensed immediately, while on other financial instruments they are amortised. Subsequent to initial recognition, all instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial instruments classified as loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses, if any. Financial liabilities, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate. (iv) Derecognition The Trust derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. 20

3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Financial instruments (continued) (v) Fair value measurement principles The fair value of financial instruments is based on valuation techniques. Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated future cash flows are based on management s best estimates and the discount rate used is a market rate at the end of the reporting period applicable for an instrument with similar terms and conditions. Where other pricing models are used, inputs are based on market data at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of derivatives that are not exchange-traded is estimated at the amount that the Consolidated Entity would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the end of the reporting period taking into account current market conditions (volatility, appropriate yield curve) and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Specifically, the fair value of a forward contract is determined as a net present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at appropriate market rates on the valuation date. (vi) Impairment Financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such indication exists, impairment testing is carried out and an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss recognised on a financial asset carried at amortised cost decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the write-down, the write-down is reversed through profit or loss. (vii) Specific instruments Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises current deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, 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. Derivative financial instruments The Trust and Consolidated Entity use derivative financial instruments to partially hedge their exposure to interest rate risks arising from investment activities. In accordance with its investment strategy, the Trust and Consolidated Entity do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. 21

3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) Interest income and expense Interest income and expense is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as it accrues, using the effective interest method of the instrument calculated at the acquisition or origination date. Interest income and expense includes the amortisation of any discount or premium, transaction costs or other differences between the initial carrying amount of an interest-bearing instrument and its amount at maturity calculated on an effective interest rate basis. (e) Expenses All expenses, including Responsible Entity, Asset management fees and Custodian fees, are recognised in profit or loss on an accruals basis. (f) Distribution and taxation Distributions from the US REIT Distributions of earnings and profits made by the Trust s subsidiary, Mariner American Property Income REIT, Limited (the US REIT ) for the financial year are not taxable. Distributions that are in excess of its earnings and profits are treated as non-taxable returns of capital to the Trust to the extent of the Trust s adjusted tax basis in the units of the US REIT. Distributions made by the US REIT which are attributable to capital gains from disposal of the US properties are subject to US tax at a special rate of 35%. The Consolidated Entity recognises a deferred tax liability at 35% on the difference between the fair value of the properties and their tax cost base under the US tax regulation. The deferred tax liability is adjusted to reflect the movement in the fair value of the properties and their tax cost base. To the extent that the fair value is lower than the tax cost base no deferred tax asset is recognised. Distributions to unitholders Distributions from the Trust to unitholders are from available cashflows and not directly related to the accounting profit. Distributions can be a mixture of tax deferred distributions as well as taxable income distributions. Under current legislation the Trust is not subject to income tax as its taxable income (including assessable realised capital gains) is distributed in full to the unitholders. The Trust fully distributes its distributable income, calculated in accordance with the Trust Constitution and applicable taxation legislation, to the unitholders who are presently entitled to the income under the Constitution. Financial instruments held at fair value may include unrealised capital gains. Should such a gain be realised, that portion of the gain that is subject to capital gains tax will be distributed so that the Trust is not subject to capital gains tax. Realised capital losses are not distributed to unitholders but are retained in the Trust to be offset against any future realised capital gains. If realised capital gains exceed realised capital losses the excess is distributed to the unitholders. (g) Goods and services tax Management fees, custody fees and other expenses are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ( GST ) recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office ( ATO ) as a reduced input tax credit ( RITC ). Payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from the ATO is included in receivables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statements as cash flows on a gross basis. 22

3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (h) 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 or for capital appreciation or for both. Land and buildings comprising the investment properties are considered composite assets and are disclosed as such in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. Investment properties acquired are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where the contracts of purchase include a deferred payment arrangement, amounts payable are recorded at their present value, discounted at the rate applicable to the Trust if a similar borrowing were obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Investment properties are subsequently stated at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. (i) Property valuations Valuations are undertaken internally by knowledgeable property professionals of the Investment Manager each reporting period and external, independent valuations are obtained annually or more frequently if Directors of the Responsible Entity are of the opinion that the market has moved materially. The valuations are prepared by considering the aggregate of the net annual rents receivable from the properties and where relevant, associated costs. A yield which reflects the specific risks inherent in the net cash flows is then applied to the net annual rentals to arrive at the property valuation. Valuations reflect, where appropriate; the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting of vacant accommodation and the market s general perception of their credit-worthiness; the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between lessor and lessee; and the remaining economic life of the property. It has been assumed that whenever rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated reversionary increases, all notices and where appropriate counter notices have been served validly and within the appropriate time. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. (j) Other investments The Trust s investment in other debt and equity securities is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date, or if unquoted determined using an appropriate valuation technique. The fair value of the Trust s investment in the Record Realty Holdings (US) Trust ( RRT ) has been valued by reference to the Trust s underlying interest in the net assets of RRT. In determining the net assets of RRT, the Trust has commissioned external valuations of RRT s investment properties consistent with the Trust s own policy for valuing investment property. 23

3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (k) Rental income Rental income from investment properties is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term. Rental income not received at reporting date is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable or if paid in advance within payables, as rent in advance. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of lease income. Lease incentives provided by the Consolidated Entity to lessees, and rental guarantees which may be received from third parties (arising on the acquisition of investment property) are excluded from the measurement of fair value of investment property and are treated as separate assets as presented in Note 13. Such assets are amortised over the respective periods to which the lease incentives and rental guarantees apply, either using a straight line basis, or a basis which is representative of the pattern of benefits. Contingent rents based on the future amount of a factor that changes other than with the passage of time including turnover rents and CPI linked rental increases are only recognised when contractually due. (l) Deferred leasing and tenancy costs Expenditure on direct leasing and tenancy costs is capitalised and written off over the lease term in proportion to the rental revenue recognised in each financial year. (m) Assets held for sale Assets that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before applying the classification as held for sale, the measurement of the assets is brought up to date in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Investment properties which are classified as held for sale are carried at fair value as the measurement provisions of AASB 5 Non current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinuing Operations do not apply to investment properties. (n) Acquisition costs Transaction costs relating to the Trust s investment in the Record Realty Holdings (US) Trust ( RRT ) have been expensed to profit or loss as incurred (Refer Note 6). Non-refundable deposits paid in respect of the unit sale deed and note purchase agreement have been recorded as non-current assets on the statement of financial position (Refer Note 11). (o) Operating segments As of 1 July 2009 the Consolidated Entity determines and presents operating segments based on the information provided to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Investment Manager, who is the Consolidated Entity s chief operating decision maker. (p) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted There are a number of standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011 which may impact the consolidated entity in the period of initial application. None of these are expected to have a significant financial effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Trust.

Acquisition costs Prior to 30 June 2010, the Trust entered into a unit sale deed with the receivers of Record Realty to acquire an interest in the Record Realty Holdings (US) Trust ( RRT ), being the entity through which the RRT portfolio was held, and a note purchase agreement with UBS in respect of the subordinated debt which financed the RRT portfolio. During the current financial year the Trust acquired a 35% interest in the transaction. RRT is an unlisted Australian property trust that owns a portfolio of commercial properties leased primarily to the US Government via the United States General Services Administration ( GSA ). Acquisition costs relating to the acquisition and re-structuring of the agreements have been expensed to the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

7. Taxation The Trust is subject to 35% capital gains tax on the future disposal of its investment properties. In previous years, the Trust recognised a deferred tax liability being 35% of the difference between the fair value in US dollars compared to the tax cost base in US dollars, translated to Australian dollars. However, due to the diminution in value of the investment properties, the fair value is now less than the tax cost base and as a result, no capital gains tax liability would arise. As at the reporting date, the fair value of the investment properties remains less than the tax cost base and no capital gains tax liability subsists. The Trust has not recognised a deferred tax asset of $1,883,000 (2010: $2,103,000) as it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the Trust can utilise the benefit. 8.

Amounts are presented in both A$ and US$ for comparative purposes. 2011 2010 2011 2010 US$ 000 US$ 000 A$ 000 A$ 000 Property Bedford Woods 90,897 93,563 84,776 111,279 Pfingsten 16,587 17,164 15,470 20,414 Parsippany 45,000 54,800 41,970 65,176 One Centennial 28,672 30,894 26,741 36,744 Higgins 16,126 15,376 15,040 18,287 197,282 211,797 183,997 251,900 Determination of fair value Investment properties are measured at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. The Trust has an internal valuation process for determining the fair value at each reporting date. An independent valuer, having an appropriate professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued, values individual properties annually or more regularly if considered appropriate and as determined by the Investment Manager in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Responsible Entity. These external valuations are taken into consideration when determining the fair values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties have each acted knowledgably, prudently and without compulsion. 29

13. Investment properties (continued) Independent valuations Independent valuations of the One Centennial and Bedford Woods properties were conducted as at 30 June 2011 by Integra Realty Resources and CB Richard Ellis respectively. All other properties were valued as at 30 June 2011 by Colliers International. The valuations were prepared by considering and utilising one or more of the following established valuation techniques: discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalisation such as EBITDA multiple analysis, direct comparison of valuation of similar investments, reference to recent sales transactions of the same or similar securities, and other methods as determined by the Investment Manager to arrive at the property valuation. The key weighted average assumptions used in the independent valuations adopted by the Trust were as follows: 30 June 2011 30 June 2010 Capitalisation rate 7.78% 7.87% Terminal yield 7.5% - 8.5% 7.5% - 8.5% Weighted average lease expiry 5.7 years 6.78 years Valuations reflect, where appropriate, the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting of vacant accommodation and the market s general perception of their credit worthiness, the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between lessor and lessee, and the remaining economic life of the property. Leases as lessor The Consolidated Entity leases out investment property under operating leases. The average lease term across the investment properties is 5.7 years. The future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable leases are as follows: Consolidated 2011 2010 Leases as lessor $ 000 $ 000 Less than one year 18,229 24,702 Between one and five years 71,711 104,114 More than five years 17,326 60,810 107,266 189,626 30

The Bedford Woods, Pfingsten and Montgomery facilities are financed by loans from CBA and Pearlmark Real Estate Partners (formerly Transwestern Realty Partners) which expire on 6 August 2012. The loans have a combined maximum loan to value ratio of 60% and minimum interest cover ratios of 1.75 times; each ratio is tested across the Bedford Woods, Pfingsten and Montgomery properties. In addition the three properties must maintain a weighted average lease expiry of 4.5 years or more, and are also cross-collateralised. The debt maturity profile is as follows: Property Loan maturity date Rate LVR $'000 Current liabilities Parsippany 11 January 2011 Fixed 8.35% - 35,674 Montgomery 6 August 2012* Floating 4.7458% 54% 10,259 Mezzanine debt 6 August 2012* Fixed 13.00% - 3,438 49,371 Non-current liabilities Bedford Woods 6 August 2012 Floating 4.7458% 54% 49,021 Pfingsten 6 August 2012 Floating 4.7458% 54% 8,804 Mezzanine debt 6 August 2012 Fixed 13.00% - 10,329 One Centennial 1 May 2015 Fixed 5.36% - 24,960 Higgins 1 March 2017 Fixed 6.25% - 15,855 108,969 The above facilities are fully drawn. 158,340 * - classified as current liability as related property held for sale and classified as current asset (Refer Note 12). 32

16. Loans and borrowings (continued) Loan breaches and defaults The Derry Meadows loan matured on 1 October 2010 and went into default. Although the loan term was subsequently extended to 1 April 2011, the property was sold on 8 February 2011 and the loan extinguished. The Parsippany loan matured on 11 January 2011. The Investment Manager is presently negotiating the terms of a forebearance agreement and loan extension with the loan servicer. The Investment Manager is simultaneously seeking to re-finance the Parsippany loan on a long-term basis together with loans in respect of the Bedford Woods, Pfingsten and Montgomery properties which all mature in August 2012. Whilst there are no assurances that the Trust will be able to obtain an extension to or re-finance the Parsippany property loan, the sale of the property at fair value would be likely to realise sufficient funds to extinguish the loan. It is noted that the loan is recourse only to the Parsippany property and does not impact upon other operations of the Trust. During the financial year, the Consolidated Entity breached the interest cover ratio for the combined CBA facilities (Bedford Woods, Pfingsten and Montgomery) for the reporting period to 31 December 2010 and the covenant to provide audited financial statements for the relevant entities. The Consolidated Entity was granted a waiver from CBA in relation to these breaches. Other than the breaches and defaults noted above, there have been no breaches of loan covenants. 17.

The Directors of the Responsible Entity do not recommend the payment of a distribution. 18. Financial liabilities - derivatives Consolidated 2011 2010 $ 000 $ 000 Interest rate swaps - cash flow hedge - 1,784 The interest rate swaps expired during the financial year and have a value of $Nil. - 1,784 33

19. Capital and reserves Capital management The objective of the Trust is to provide unitholders with returns in accordance with the Product Disclosure Statement ( PDS ) and subsequent market announcements, including the announcement made on 1 March 2011 in connection with the $37 million capital raising ( Subsequent announcements ). The Investment Manager aims to deliver this objective mainly through investing in a diversified portfolio in accordance with the limitations set by the PDS. The Investment Manager will also use derivatives to partially hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks (see Note 20). Funds have been raised in prior years via loans and equity in order to raise investible funds. The Investment Manager strives to invest in products that meet the Trust s investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholders obligations. The Responsible Entity has focused on creating a stable platform that can restore working capital and deliver future growth. As part of this stabilisation process, the Trust raised $3,173,000 via a placement to institutional and sophisticated private investors in December 2010, and $37,000,000 through an entitlements offer in March 2011. Issued capital The movement in the Trust s issued capital during the year is shown below: 2011 2010 No. of units $ 000 No. of units $ 000 Opening balance 302,256,791 201,658 203,530,545 188,173 Units issued placement 45,328,570 3,173 28,974,997 4,346 Units issued entitlements offer 672,727,273 37,000 - - Units issued unit purchase plan - - 69,751,249 10,407 Issue costs paid - (3,964) - (1,268) 20:1 consolidation (969,296,040) - - - Closing balance 51,016,594 237,867 302,256,791 201,658 Translation reserve The translation reserve comprises all foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations. The balance of the translation reserve at 30 June 2011 was ($25,977,000) (30 June 2010: ($8,865,000)). Hedging reserve The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments related to hedged interest rate risk. The balance of the hedging reserve at 30 June 2011 was ($305,000) (30 June 2010: ($1,784,000)). 20. Financial instruments The Consolidated Entity s investing activities expose it to various types of risk that are associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The most important types of financial risks to which the Trust is exposed are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Asset allocation is determined by the Trust s Investment Manager who manages the distribution of the assets to achieve the investment objectives. Divergence from target asset allocations and the composition of the 34

20. Financial instruments (continued) portfolio is monitored by the Trust s Investment Manager. The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding at the end of the reporting period and the risk management policies employed by the Consolidated Entity are discussed below. Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Consolidated Entity s income or value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters. The strategy on the management of investment risk is driven by the Trust s investment objective. The market risk is managed on a daily basis by the Investment Manager in accordance with the investment guidelines as outlined in the Trust s PDS and subsequent announcements. Currency risk The Trust is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on its investments in the United States, since its US investment is denominated in AUD. The US REIT invests in properties in the US acquired with USD loans which provide a natural hedge. As at the reporting date, the Trust s total gross exposure to financial assets and liabilities which are held in foreign currency exchange rates at the end of the reporting period was as follows: Consolidated 2011 2010 AUD USD* AUD USD* Financial assets and liabilities $ 000 $ 000 $ 000 $ 000 Cash and cash equivalents 16 2,119 795 2,555 Receivables and other assets 661 46,190 3,113 16,309 Payables (1,237) (5,058) (625) (6,308) Loans and borrowings - (157,408) - (234,031) Interest rate swaps, at fair value - 13 - (1,784) Distribution payable - - (1,814) - Currency options - - 1,370 - Gross statement of financial position exposure (560) (114,144) 2,839 (223,259) * These amounts are expressed in AUD but represent financial instruments that are denominated in USD and converted to AUD on consolidation. 35

20. Financial instruments (continued) Sensitivity analysis A 10% strengthening of the AUD against the USD at 30 June 2011 would have increased/ (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amount shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. A similar analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010. 30 June 2011 USD Consolidated Profit or Equity loss $ 000 $ 000 (8,821) 1,487 30 June 2010 USD 20,353 502 A 10% weakening of the AUD against the USD at 30 June 2011 would have had the following effect on the basis that all other variables remain constant. Consolidated Profit or Equity loss $ 000 $ 000 30 June 2011 USD 10,782 (1,818) 30 June 2010 USD (24,895) (632) Interest rate risk The US REIT has floating rate mortgage loans of A$68,084,000 that mature in 2012. Of the balance of the Trust s total loans of $157,408,000, $89,324,000 are fixed interest rate loans. 36

20. Financial instruments (continued) Interest rate risk (continued) Exposures arise predominantly from assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates. The Consolidated Entity s exposure to interest rate risk is set out in the following table. For interest rates applicable to each class of asset or liability refer to individual notes to the financial statements. As at the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Consolidated Entity s interest bearing instruments was: Consolidated Carrying amount 2011 2010 $ 000 $ 000 Variable rate instruments Cash and cash equivalents 2,135 3,350 Interest rate swaps, at fair value - (1,784) Floating rate loans and borrowings (68,084) (104,977) Interest rate option, at fair value 13 - Interest rate swaps, notional amounts - 113,291 (65,936) 9,880 Fixed rate instruments Loans and borrowings (89,324) (130,127) Sensitivity analysis Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Consolidated Entity does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would have a nil impact on profit or loss and equity. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss before tax by the amounts shown below. Profit or loss Equity 100bp increase 100bp decrease 100bp increase 100bp decrease $ 000 $ 000 $ 000 $ 000 2011 Variable rate financial instruments Cash and cash equivalents 21 (21) - - Loans and borrowings (681) 681 - - Cash flows sensitivity (net) (660) 660 - - 2010 Variable rate financial instruments Cash and cash equivalents 33 (33) - - Loans and borrowings (1,050) 1,050 - - Interest rate swaps, notional amounts 1,133 (1,133) 347 (438) Cash flows sensitivity (net) 116 (116) 347 (438) 37

20. Financial instruments (continued) Price risk As the Consolidated Entity does not hold any openly marketed equity investments at the reporting date, market price is not applicable. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Consolidated Entity s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Consolidated Entity s reputation. The Consolidated Entity s liquidity risk is monitored on a monthly basis by the Investment Manager. 38

20. Financial instruments (continued) Liquidity risk (continued) The table below presents cash flows on financial liabilities payable by the Consolidated Entity by remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period. The amounts disclosed are the contractual, undiscounted cash flows: Maturity More Carrying amount Contractual cashflow 6 months or less 6-12 months 12-24 months than 24 months $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 2011 Financial liabilities Payables (6,294) (6,294) (6,294) - - - Loans and borrowings (157,408) (174,642) (39,379) (3,665) (84,689) (46,909) (163,702) (180,936) (45,673) (3,665) (84,689) (46,909) 2010 Financial liabilities Payables (6,933) (6,933) (6,933) - - - Loans and borrowings (234,031) (256,005) (168,828) (1,874) (21,712) (63,591) Derivative liabilities (1,784) (2,054) (1,832) (222) - - Distribution payable (1,814) (1,814) (1,814) - - - (244,562) (266,806) (179,407) (2,096) (21,712) (63,591) The tables below indicate the periods in which the cash flows associated with derivatives that are cash flow hedges are expected to occur and to impact profit or loss: Maturity More Carrying amount Contractual cashflow 6 months or less 6-12 months 12-24 months than 24 months $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 2011 Derivative liabilities (net) - - - - - - - - - - - - 2010 Derivative liabilities (net) (1,784) (2,054) (1,832) (222) - - (1,784) (2,054) (1,832) (222) - - Refer to Note 2(b) Going concern for further discussion on liquidity risk. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the end of the reporting period. There were no significant concentrations of credit risk to counterparties at 30 June 2011. There are no financial assets that are past due or impaired which are considered to have significant credit risk. 39

20. Financial instruments (continued) Estimation of fair value The major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments are disclosed in Note 3(c). The fair value of the following financial instruments determined using valuation techniques are as follows: Consolidated 2011 2010 Carrying amount Fair value Carrying Fair value amount $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 Derivative assets 13 13 204 204 Derivative liabilities - - (1,784) (1,784) Fixed loans and borrowing (89,324) (94,613) (130,127) (134,412) (89,311) (94,600) (131,707) (135,992) The carrying amount of all financial assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 were considered to approximate their fair value, except for fixed rate loans as shown above. Interest rates used for determining fair value The interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows are based on the government yield curve at the reporting date plus an appropriate credit spread, and were as follows: Consolidated 2011 2010 % % Derivatives 0.25% 0.55% Loans and borrowings 3.69% 3.76% Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: Level 1 fair value measurements are those instruments carried at fair value based on quoted prices in the active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 fair value measurements are those instruments valued based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 fair value measurements are those instruments valued based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. Consolidated Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $ 000 $ 000 $ 000 $ 000 30 June 2011 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: - - 39,413 39,413 Derivatives financial instruments - 13-13 - 13 39,413 39,426 42

21. Earnings per unit The calculation of basic loss per unit at 30 June 2011 was based on the loss attributable to unitholders of the Trust of $17,273,000 (2010 loss: $6,174,000) and a weighted average number of units outstanding of 24,303,850 (2010: 13,760.872), calculated as follows: 2011 2010 $ $ Net loss attributable to unitholders of the Trust (17,273,000) (6,174,000) 2011 2010 Weighted average number of units (basic) In units Issued units at 1 July 15,112,840 10,176,527 Effect of units issued 9,191,010 3,584,345 Weighted average number of units at 30 June 24,303,850 13,760,872 Diluted earnings per unit As there are no diluting factors in the year and comparative years, the diluted loss per unit is equal to the basic. Comparative figures Comparative figures on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income have been adjusted to retrospectively apply the 20:1 consolidation on 10 May 2011 in accordance with the requirements of AASB 133: Earnings per share. 22. Operating segments The main business of the Consolidated Entity is investment in property which is leased to third parties. The property investments are located in various states in the United States of America. The Consolidated Entity has two reportable segments, based on the geographical location of each segment. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit or loss after income tax as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) of the Investment Manager. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. The amounts set out on the following page are expressed in AUD but represent amounts that are denominated in USD and converted to AUD on consolidation. 43

The operations of the Trust are governed by the: The Constitution; Corporations Act 2001; ASX Listing Rules ; Compliance Plan; Relevant services agreements; and General law. The Responsible Entity is responsible for the Trust s overall operation and administrative functions including the: preparation of financial statements, notices and reports; and monitoring of the Trust s service providers including registry, asset management and custody.

ASX Corporate Governance Principles As a listed entity and a managed investment scheme, the Trust is also required to comply with the ASX Listing Rules and provide a statement in its annual report disclosing the extent to which the Responsible Entity has complied with the ASX Corporate Governance Council recommendations. Below, the Responsible Entity addresses each of the eight principles for the year to 30 June 2011. Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Role of the board and management The structure and role of the boards of the Responsible Entity and of any of the relevant appointed service providers are designed to provide maximum value to investors in terms of ensuring appropriate oversight of their relevant activities. 53

Corporate governance statement (continued) Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight (continued) Role of the board and management (continued) The Responsible Entity has a constitution which sets out, amongst other things, the appointment and removal procedures for Directors, board meeting requirements and remuneration policies. Internal procedures have been developed for: monitoring business risk; appropriate oversight of business units; compliance with regulatory requirements, scheme compliance plan and constitution; and monitoring of third party service providers. The Responsible Entity s Directors, along with management, have the role of ensuring that the Responsible Entity complies with its obligations as Responsible Entity for the Trust. The board ( Board ) meets monthly to consider client activities of the Responsible Entity and any relevant compliance matters. The Responsible Entity s management elevates relevant compliance matters to its Audit, Risk & Compliance Committee ( ARCC ). The Responsible Entity is accountable to unitholders. In addition, The Responsible Entity is responsible for the Trust s overall operation, its regulatory and compliance obligations, and its administrative functions. The Responsible Entity regularly reviews and monitors the performance of the Trust s affairs and activities so that they are conducted in the best interest of unitholders. These functions include: maintaining high ethical and business standards; ensuring the preparation, review and approval of annual and half yearly financial statements, preparation of notices and reports to unitholders, ASX and other regulators; consultation with the Investment Manager; monitoring and responsibility for certain specialist external service providers to assist the Responsible Entity from time to time in the proper, efficient and timely delivery of services; compliance with a constitution that sets out amongst other things the appointment and removal procedures for the Directors, meeting rules and requirements and disclosure procedures; maintaining internal procedures for monitoring business risk and ensuring appropriate oversight of the Trust s compliance plan and constitution; empowering management of the Responsible Entity to report compliance matters relating to the Trust to the Board and ARCC; The Trust Company as the parent of the Responsible Entity, providing Executive Directors, responsible managers and company secretarial functions for the Responsible Entity. Those Directors along with internal management have the ongoing task of ensuring the Responsible Entity complies with its obligations as Responsible Entity for The Trust; and ensuring all available relevant information in connection with the Trust is discussed at meetings of the Board. Principle 2: Structure the board to add value Both the Responsible Entity and the Investment Manager add value through being completely independent of each other with no common Directors and no related party interests between the two entities. This ensures no conflicts of interest when discretionary decisions are required of either entity. The Responsible Entity currently has three Executive Directors which meet monthly to consider the operational activities, and financial performance of the Responsible Entity s business. The Directors are provided by the Responsible Entity s ultimate parent, The Trust Company. 54

Corporate governance statement (continued) Principle 2: Structure the board to add value (continued) The procedures for selecting a Chairman, powers of the Board, appointment, removal and remuneration of Directors, Board meeting requirements and other related matters are set out in the Responsible Entity's constitution. New Directors are fully briefed on the terms and conditions of their appointment by The Trust Company executives and undertake an induction program to familiarise themselves with the Responsible Entity and its business operations. As each Director of the Responsible Entity is an executive of The Trust Company, the ARCC is comprised of a majority of external members (non-executives of The Trust Company) and has been established to meet the requirements of Chapter 5C of the Corporations Act 2001. In addition, the independence of the external members meets the requirements of section 601JA (2) of the Corporations Act 2001. The Trust Company has structured itself so that the Responsible Entity s role as Responsible Entity for the Trust adds real value through its focus on compliance with the regulatory requirements and its overarching responsibility to act in the best interests of unitholders. Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making The Responsible Entity is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity with respect to its role as the Responsible Entity and seeks to ensure all its activities in regard to the Trust are undertaken with efficiency, honesty and fairness. The Responsible Entity has various policies and procedures in addition to a Code of Conduct and Share Trading Policy that apply to all Directors and employees without exception. All codes and policies are designed to promote integrity, responsibility, accountability and adherence to relevant legislation. They apply to the Directors and officers of the Responsible Entity as a member of The Trust Company group and Responsible Entity for the Trust. Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting The Responsible Entity has engaged the Investment Manager to assist in the preparation of the half year and annual financial statements for the Trust. These financial statements are audited or reviewed by an external auditor whose report is provided to the Responsible Entity s Board. The current auditor is KPMG. The Responsible Entity meets with the Investment Manager and the external auditor to discuss the audit plan and scope prior to each financial year end. The financial statements and audit report are tabled for the Board s consideration and approval. The Responsible Entity reviews the financial statements and provides formal statements to the Board confirming that the Trust s financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material aspects, of the Trust s financial condition, and that operational results are in accordance with the Trust s constitution and relevant accounting standards. In addition, it confirms that the statements are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements policies adopted by the Board. Principal 5: Make timely balanced disclosure The Responsible Entity has continuous disclosure procedures to ensure the Trust s compliance with ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. Service providers to the Trust under outsourcing arrangements are required to adhere to the ASX Listing Rules in terms of continuous disclosure requirements and must report to the Responsible Entity instances where a disclosure obligation is required. The Responsible Entity has procedures in place to monitor the compliance of service providers with these requirements. The Company Secretary of the Responsible Entity is responsible for disclosures to the ASX in relation to the continuous disclosure obligations of the Trust. 55

Corporate governance statement (continued) Principle 6: Respect the rights of unitholders The Responsible Entity is committed to providing timely and accurate information concerning the Trust to its unitholders. The Trust s compliance plan and constitution further set out the Responsible Entity s obligations and the rights of unitholders in this regard. The Annual Report of the Trust comprising the financial statements, Directors report, Directors declaration and independent auditor s report is sent to unitholders each year. The Annual Report includes the ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and although registered schemes are not required to hold meetings of unitholders, the constitution of the Trust provides for such meetings if and when required. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Manager is required to ensure any actions or decisions it makes does not breach the terms of the Trust s constitution or any relevant law or transaction document in relation to the Trust which could adversely affect rights of unitholders. Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk Under the Investment Management Agreement the Investment Manager is required to: ensure that it regularly and adequately trains its representatives and agents so that they have the necessary competencies to deliver the services required; establish and maintain adequate risk management systems; use its best endeavours to ensure that it complies with any legislative requirements directly applicable to the Investment Manager and its activities; and notify the Responsible Entity in writing immediately regarding any event which may trigger the enhanced disclosure provisions of the Corporations Act. The Responsible Entity values the importance of robust risk management systems and, in conjunction with its parent The Trust Company, has established an ARCC to support the compliance obligations of the Trust with respect to its corporate governance and risk responsibilities. The ARCC is comprised of a majority of external members skilled in the areas of audit (financial reporting), risk and compliance. The ARCC is responsible for the oversight of risk management and internal control systems for the Responsible Entity. It reviews internal and external audit processes and monitors the Responsible Entity s compliance with laws and regulations. The ARCC meets regularly with The Trust Company s Executive Team, senior management and external advisers, and reports directly to The Trust Company and Responsible Entity s Boards. The Responsible Entity has a formal risk management program in place which has been adopted from its parent entity, The Trust Company. It is based on Standards Australia AS/NZS4360:2004-Risk Management Standard and includes policies and procedures to identify and address material financial and non-financial risks. The Trust Company also maintains an independent internal audit function which reports directly to ARCC and the Responsible Entity s Board if necessary. Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly Remuneration policies are in place to maintain and attract talented and motivated Directors and employees. The policies are designed to improve the performance of The Trust Company and its controlled entities. As The Trust Company is the ultimate parent of the Responsible Entity it provides Executive Directors and internal management to the Responsible Entity. Directors and internal management of the Responsible Entity are remunerated by The Trust Company and not by the Trust. 56

Corporate governance statement (continued) Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly (continued) The Responsible Entity s fees are set out in the constitution of the Trust. Both the Responsible Entity and the Investment Manager monitor all fees and expenses paid from the Trust to ensure they are appropriate and allowable under the Trust s documentation. 57
