1. General Information These financial statements cover MacarthurCook Office Property Trust as an individual entity domiciled in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors 19 September 2013. 2. Basis of preparation A) Going concern basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared on a going concerns basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the reasons described below, there is material uncertainty whether the Trust will continue as a going concern. At balance date, the Trust has net current liabilities of approximately $2,808,000. The ability of the Trust to pay its debts is dependent on the renewal of the loan as disclosed in Note 11. Management is currently in discussions with the provider in relation to a renewal plan. The debt providers have not provided an opinion at this time, and intend to perform a detailed review on the facility closer to the expiry date in June 2014. Management will be working closely with the debt providers in achieving a positive outcome for all unitholders. At the date of this report and having considered the above factors, the directors of the Responsible Entity believe that the Trust will be able to continue as a going concern. B) Statement of compliance The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). C) Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical cost with the exception of financial assets and property investment assets, which are measured at fair value. D) Functional and presentation currency The Financial Report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Trust s functional currency. The Trust is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998, as amended, and in accordance with that Class order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. E) Use of estimates and judgements In the application of the Trust s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Accounting policies which are subject to significant accounting estimates and judgements at the reporting date and have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the financial statements in the next annual reporting period include estimate of fair values of investment properties. 11

3. Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied in the preparation of the financial statements. A) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position consist of cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. The Trust considers a short-term deposit to have a maturity of three months or less and be subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and at bank, short-term deposits (as outlined above) net of any bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included within interest bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities. B) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at an operating unit level. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectable are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Trust may not be able to collect the receivable. Financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments or debts more than 60 days overdue are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the receivable carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The amount of impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised before it becomes uncollectable in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against doubtful debt expense in the statement of comprehensive income. C) Financial instruments (i) Classification The Trust s investments are classified as loans and receivables, and financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. They comprise: Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those that are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Trust s documented investment strategy. The Trust s policy is for the responsible entity to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables and receivables in the statement of financial position. 12

3. Significant accounting policies (cont.) (ii) Recognition/derecognition The Trust recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the date it becomes party to the contractual agreement (trade date) and recognises changes in fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities from this date. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss is initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Investments are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Trust has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. (iii) Measurement Financial assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss are measured initially and subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Loans and receivables Loan assets are measured initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently amortised using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses if any. Such assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If evidence of impairment exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the 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 writedown, the write-down is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. (iv) Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 13

3. Significant accounting policies (cont.) D) Investment property Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including, any acquisition costs, in accordance with AASB 140. Investment properties are subsequently stated at fair value at each balance date with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investment properties are comprised of land and buildings and plant and equipment held for the purpose of letting to produce rental income and for potential capital appreciation. Investment property is derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year of retirement or disposal. Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by ending of owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale. E) Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, but not the legal ownership, to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. (i) Trust as lessor Leases in which the Trust retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, unless another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished. (ii) Lease incentives Incentives such as cash, rent free periods or contributions towards lessee or lessor owned fit outs, may be provided to lessees to enter into an operating lease. These incentives are capitalised and amortised over the term of the lease as a reduction in rental income on a straight line basis. F) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost due to their short term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Trust prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Trust becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 14

3. Significant accounting policies (cont.) G) Interest bearing loans and borrowings All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that are yield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Trust has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or finance cost. (i) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, except to the extent that they are incurred in the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs directly associated with this asset would be capitalised (including any other associated costs directly attributable to the borrowing and temporary investment income earned on the borrowing). H) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Trust has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Trust expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free government bond rate relative to the expected life of the provision is used as a discount rate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs. 15

3. Significant accounting policies (cont.) I) Investment income Income is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Trust and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (i) Interest income Income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. (ii) Rental income Rental income from investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rental income is recognised as income in the periods in which it is earned. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income. J) Income tax and other taxes (i) Income Taxes Under current income tax legislation the Trust is not liable to pay income tax provided that the taxable income and taxable realised gains are fully distributed to unitholders each year. (ii) Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and receivables and payables which are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part of operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority. K) Applications and Redemptions Applications received for units in the Trust are recorded net of any entry fees payable prior to the issue of units in the Trust. Redemptions from the Trust are recorded gross of any exit fees payable after the cancellation of the units redeemed. The application and redemption prices are based on unit price accounting outlined in the Trust's constitution and product disclosure statement. This may differ from the accounting principles adopted in this Financial Report in the areas of fair value of investments and investment properties, treatment of borrowing costs and the timing of rental income. 16

L) Distributions In accordance with the Trust s constitution, the Trust distributes income adjusted for amounts determined by the Responsible Entity, to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. M) New accounting standards and interpretations Standards and Interpretations affecting the reported results of financial position There are no new and revised Standards and interpretations adopted in these financial statements affecting the reported results or financial position. Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective Australian Accounting Standards that have recently been issued or amended, and may be applicable to, but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Trust for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2013, are outlined in the table below. The Trust does not intend to early adopt these standards and none of these is expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Trust.

13. Financial risk management and financial instruments Overview The Trust s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans, cash and derivatives. The Trust has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: Credit risk Liquidity risk Market risk Financial risk and risk management network The board of directors of the Responsible Entity has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Trust s risk management network. The Trust s risk management policies, including those related to its investment activities is developed and monitored by an Audit and Risk Committee. In addition to the policies adopted by the Audit and Risk Committee, the Responsible Entity has in place compliance plan which outlines the processes that will ensure both Trust and Responsible Entity comply with the requirements of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counter-party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Trust. The Trust s management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Trust, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and derivative instruments. The Trust s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter-party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is addressed in each applicable note. Regarding trade receivables, subject to a tenant s financial standing most tenants, at the commencement of a lease, are required to provide security via means of a cash deposit or bank guarantee. This security is maintained in the Trust s control for the duration of the tenancy and reverts to the Trust in the event of default. To date the Trust has not incurred any losses due to the nonrecoverability of its receivables. The Trust does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Trust 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, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Trust s reputation. The following is the contractual maturity of financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Trust can be required to pay. 22
