2 Folkestone Real Estate Income Fund at Sydney Olympic Park Annual Report 2013/14
CHAIRMAN AND HEAD OF FUNDS MANAGEMENT REPORT
We are pleased to provide the results of
the Folkestone Real Estate Income Fund
at Sydney Olympic Park (“the Fund”) for
the year ended 30 June 2014.
The Fund is a single asset, closed end
unlisted real estate fund with a term of
five years. The Fund owns 7 Murray Rose
Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park, a 5,931
sqm commercial building comprising five
levels of office space and ground floor
retail and two levels of basement parking.
KEY FINANCIAL ACHIEVEMENTS
The key financial achievements during
FY14 include:
an annualised distribution of 8.3 per
cent per unit, in line with the
upgraded forecast announced in
August 2013 and 6.4 per cent above
the Product Disclosure Statement
forecast for FY14 of 7.80 per cent;
the asset was independently
revalued by JLL at 30 June 2014,
achieving a 4.2 per cent increase in
value to $31.0 million – the valuation
was undertaken on a capitalisation
rate of 7.75 per cent, a 25 basis
point reduction on the previous rate
of 8.0 per cent;
increase in Net Tangible Asset from
$0.97 as at 30 June 2013 to $1.01
per unit as at 30 June 2014;
Fund gearing reduced from 47.1 per
cent as at 30 June 2013 to 45.7 per
cent as at 30 June 2014; and
the term facility of $14.625 million,
which was drawn in December 2012
for a period of three years, was
extended through to the end of the
initial Fund term (December 2017).
As part of the extended facility
agreement, the margin was reduced
resulting in the interest rate
(including margin) being fixed at
5.01 per cent p.a. until December
2015, down from 5.56 per cent p.a.
Also, for the balance of the term
facility (December 2015 to
December 2017) the interest rate
(including margin) has been fixed at
5.95 per cent p.a. providing certainty
in regard to the Fund's borrowing
costs.
KEY PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
The key portfolio highlights during FY14
include:
the remaining retail vacancies
(representing a combined 204 sqm
or 3.4 per cent of the total lettable
area) were occupied in October
2013 with a therapeutic wellness
centre leasing 85 sqm and a
medical/dental practice leasing 119
sqm, both on five year terms;
Thales Australia continue to lease
100 per cent of the commercial
space in the building under a ten
year lease due to expire in
November 2022 (with two five year
options); and
property outgoings were marginally
higher than budgeted in FY14,
following the recent electricity price
rises increasing electricity costs of
the common areas.
PROPERTY SUMMARY
As at 30 June 2014, there was no
vacancy in the building with 100 per cent
of the office space leased to Thales
Australia and 100 per cent of the retail
space leased to five tenants - including a
bike shop (231 sqm), a Vietnamese
restaurant (155 sqm), a café (69 sqm), a
therapeutic wellness centre (85 sqm) and
a medical/dental practice (119 sqm). The
last two tenant's leases commenced on 1
October 2013 for five years at a rent of
$440 per sqm (including incentives) which
is below the $550 per sqm forecast in the
PDS, however this did not affect the FY14
distribution as the shortfall was made up
through retained earnings from the land
access fee, paid to the Fund by the
Developer, that was not paid out during
the construction phase.
The property continues to perform well
with regard to energy usage with
management to receive official
confirmation of the NABERS energy
efficiency rating in August 2014. Current
figures indicate the building is operating
at between a 4.5 and 5 star NABERS
energy efficiency rating, in line with the
expectations at the time of acquisition.
Folkestone Real Estate Income Fund at Sydney Olympic Park Annual Report 2013/14 3
MARKET OVERVIEW
Sydney Olympic Park is now firmly
established as one of Sydney’s leading
suburban office markets and has
continued to grow strongly in recent
years. The office market is considered
attractive given the ability to offer
buildings with large floor plates within a
campus style environment and the quality
of the public amenity at the park is very
appealing to tenants.
According to Colliers, Sydney Olympic
Park has one of the tightest vacancy
rates of any of the Sydney metropolitan
markets at less than 5.0 per cent.
During the year, 10 Herb Elliot Avenue,
comprising 8,800 sqm of office space was
completed but has yet to secure a tenant.
A second building comprising 12,900 sqm
of office space at 3 Murray Rose Avenue
has been pre-leased to Samsung and is
due to for completion in mid-2015.
Sydney Olympic Park also continues to
evolve into an active suburb with a mix of
commercial, cultural, sporting and now
high density residential development.
Australia Towers was the first residential
development in Sydney Olympic Park and
is just 100 metres from the Fund’s
property at 7 Murray Rose Avenue.
Australia Towers 1 (AT1) was completed
in early 2012, consisting of two towers of
24 and 16 levels, housing 216
apartments. Australia Towers 2 (AT2)
comprising 267 residential apartments is
currently under construction and due for
completion in late 2014. One Australia
Avenue, with 320 apartments, is the final
stage of the Australia Towers project and
is currently under construction with an
expected completion date of mid-2015. In
early July, Bates Smart won a design
competition for a new 378 apartment
residential tower, at Sydney Olympic Park
alongside the Australia Towers.
Marketing of these apartments is
expected to begin in late 2014.
12 MONTH OUTLOOK
The forecast distribution yield for FY15 is
8.5 per cent p.a. compared to the FY14
yield of 8.3 per cent p.a. The distribution
is forecast to be 68.0 per cent tax
deferred in FY15.
During FY15 management will continue to
work closely with tenants and the building
manager to ensure the property continues
to perform to a high standard. We will
also be working to support the retail
tenants and to investigate marketing
initiatives to further promote the retail
offering. Retail within the Sydney
Olympic Park market is expected to
benefit from the continuation of
development activity within the area,
increasing foot-traffic and creating a more
vibrant commercial hub in the immediate
vicinity of the Fund's building.

NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Reporting Period
The Fund was established on 15 June
2012 however did not commence
operations until 19 September 2012 when
the leasehold property was acquired and
the units were allotted to unitholders.
Therefore, the comparative balances in
the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income and Statement of
Cash Flows are for the period from 15
June 2012 to 30 June 2013.
b) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial
statements have been prepared in
accordance with the Australian
Accounting Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting
Standards Board, the Corporations Act
2001 and the requirements of the Fund
Constitution dated 1 June 2012 (as
amended).
The financial statements are prepared on
the basis of cost measurement of assets
and liabilities except where otherwise
stated. The Fund is a for profit entity.
Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
The financial statements of the Fund also
comply with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards
Board.
New and Amended Standards Adopted by the Fund
The Fund has applied the following
standards for the first time for their annual
reporting year commencing 1 July 2013:
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement
and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards
arising from AASB 13
AASB 13 establishes a single source of
guidance for fair value measurements
and disclosures about fair value
measurements. The scope of AASB 13 is
broad; the fair value measurement
requirements of AASB 13 apply to both
financial instrument items and non-
financial instrument items for which other
AASBs require or permit fair value
measurements and disclosures about fair
value measurements, except for share-
based payment transactions that are
within the scope of AASB 2 ‘Share-based
Payment’, leasing transactions that are
within the scope of AASB 117 ‘Leases’,
and measurements that have some
similarities to fair value but are not fair
value (e.g. net realisable value for the
purposes of measuring inventories or
value in use for impairment assessment
purposes).
AASB 13 defines fair value as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction in the principal (or most
advantageous) market at the
measurement date under current market
conditions. Fair value under AASB 13 is
an exit price regardless of whether that
price is directly observable or estimated
using another valuation technique. Also,
AASB 13 includes extensive disclosure
requirements.
AASB 13 requires prospective
application from 1 July 2013. In addition,
specific transitional provisions were given
to entities such that they need not apply
the disclosure requirements set out in the
Standard in comparative information
provided for periods before the initial
application of the Standard. In
accordance with these transitional
provisions, the Fund has not made any
new disclosures required by AASB 13 for
the 2013 comparative period (please see
note 7 for the 2014 disclosures). Other
than the additional disclosures, the
application of AASB 13 does not have
any material impact on the amounts
recognised in the consolidated financial
statements.
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements, AASB 11 Joint
Arrangements, AASB 12 Disclosure
of Interests in Other Entities, AASB
128 Investments in Associates and
Joint Ventures, AASB 127 Separate
Financial Statements and AASB
2011-7 Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising from
the Consolidated and Joint
Arrangements Standards.
AASB 2012-10 Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards –
Transition Guidance and other
Amendments which provides an
exemption from the requirement to
disclose the impact of the change in
accounting policy on the current year,
and
AASB 2012-2 Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards –
Disclosures – Offsetting Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities.
The Fund does not expect any of the
other standards mentioned above to have
any material impact on the financial
statements.
Early Adoption of Standards
The Fund has not elected to apply any
pronouncements before their operative
date in the financial year beginning 1 July
2013.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgement in
the process of applying the Fund’s
accounting policies. The areas involving a
higher degree of judgement or
complexity, or areas where assumptions
and estimates are significant to the
financial statements are disclosed in note
1(p).
c) Revenue and Expenditure Recognition
The Fund recognises revenue when the
amount of revenue can be reliably
measured, it is probable that future
economic benefits will flow to the entity
and specific criteria have been met for
each of the entity’s activities as described
below.
Expenses including rates, taxes and other
outgoings are brought to account on an
accruals basis and any related payables
are carried at cost.
Folkestone Real Estate Income Fund at Sydney Olympic Park Annual Report 2013/14 17
Revenue is recognised for the major
business activities as follows:
Lease Income
Rent income due but not received at
balance date is reflected in the Statement
of Financial Position as a receivable.
For leases where the revenue is
determined with reference to market
reviews, inflationary measures or other
variables, revenue is recognised in
accordance with the lease terms
applicable for the year.
Fixed Rent Reviews
For leases with rent reviews based on a
fixed rate, lease income arising on
investment properties is recognised on a
straight line basis over the lease term.
Adjustments to lease income are also
reflected in the Statement of Financial
Position as a Straight Line Rental asset.
Interest Income
Interest is brought to account on a time
proportion basis using the effective
interest when earned and if not received
at balance date, is reflected in the
Statement of Financial Position as a
receivable.
Responsible Entity Fees
Fees payable to the responsible entity are
recognised in the Statement of Profit or
Loss and other comprehensive income on
an accruals basis. Fees relating to
specific events or transactions are
charged upon completion or occurrence
of the relevant service or event. Under
the Fund’s Constitution, the Responsible
Entity is entitled to a management fee of
1.3 per cent of the value of net assets of
the Fund.
d) Income Tax
Under current legislation, the Fund is not
liable for income tax, provided that the
taxable income and taxable realised
gains are fully distributed to Unitholders
each year. Tax allowances for building
and plant and equipment depreciation are
distributed to Unitholders in the form of a
tax deferred component of the
distribution.
e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the
statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand,
deposits held at call with financial
institutions, other short-term, highly liquid
investments with original maturities of
three months or less from the date of
acquisition that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value, and bank overdrafts.
f) Investment Property
The investment property comprises
leasehold interests in land and buildings
(including integral plant and equipment)
held for the purpose of letting to produce
rental income.
Investment properties acquired are
initially recorded at the date of
acquisition, being the fair value of the
consideration provided plus incidental
costs directly attributable to the
acquisition.
Valuations:
After initial recognition, investment
properties are measured at fair value at
each reporting date. The Fund’s
Constitution requires the Responsible
Entity to have the Fund’s property
investments independently valued at
regular intervals. An independent
valuation of a property is carried out at
least once every year. The valuation is
considered by the Directors of the
Responsible Entity when determining fair
value. When assessing fair value, the
Directors will also consider the
discounted cash flow of the property, the
highest and best use of the property and
sales of similar properties.
Fair value is based on the price, at which
a property might reasonably be expected
to be sold at the date of valuation,
assuming:
a willing, but not anxious, buyer and
seller on an arm’s length basis;
a reasonable period in which to
negotiate the sale, having regard to
the nature and situation of the
property and the state of the market
for property of the same kind;
that no account is taken of the value
or other advantage or benefit,
additional to market value, to the
buyer incidental to ownership of the
property being valued; and
it only takes into account instructions
given by the Responsible Entity and is
based on all the information that the
valuer needs for the purposes of the
valuation being made available by or
on behalf of the Responsible Entity.
Under AASB 140: Investment Property,
adjustments to fair value are to be
recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income.
g) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised at fair
value, less provision for impairment.
Trade receivables are due as specified
within the individual property’s lease.
Collectability of trade receivables is
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts
which are known to be uncollectible are
written off by reducing the carrying
amount directly. An allowance account
(provision for impairment of trade
receivables) is used when there is
objective evidence that the Fund will not
be able to collect all amounts due
according to the original terms of the
receivables. Significant financial
difficulties of the debtor, probability that
the debtor will enter bankruptcy or
financial reorganisation, and default or
delinquency in payments (more than 30
days overdue) are considered indicators
that the trade receivable is impaired. The
amount of the impairment allowance is
the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows, discounted
at the original effective interest rate. Cash
flows relating to short-term receivables
are not discounted if the effect of
discounting is immaterial.
The amount of the impairment loss is
recognised in the Statement of Profit or
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income
within other expenses. When a trade
receivable for which an impairment
allowance had been recognised becomes
uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is
written off against the allowance account.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT.
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONT.
g) Trade and Other Receivables Cont.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts
previously written off are credited against
other expenses in the Statement of Profit
or Loss and Other Comprehensive
Income.
h) Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for
goods or services provided to the Fund
prior to the end of financial year which are
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and
are usually paid within 30 days of
recognition.
i) Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are
recognised at amortised cost, comprising
original debt less principal payments and
amortisation.
Bank Loans
Interest-bearing borrowings are
recognised initially at fair value less
attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-
bearing debt is stated at amortised cost
with any difference between proceeds
and redemption value being recognised in
the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income over the period
of the debt on an effective interest basis.
j) Derivatives
The Fund uses derivative financial
instruments (comprising of interest rate
swaps) to swap its risk associated with
interest rate fluctuations.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair
value on the date a derivative contract is
entered into and are subsequently
remeasured to their fair value at the end
of each reporting period. The Fund's
derivatives do not qualify for hedge
accounting and therefore changes in the
fair value of any derivative instrument are
recognised immediately in the Statement
of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income.
k) Distributions Payable
Distributions payable are recognised as a
liability when they have been declared
and are due and payable at reporting
date.
l) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Fund reviews
the carrying values of its tangible assets
to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have been
impaired. If such an indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset, being
the higher of the assets’ fair value less
costs to sell and value in use, is
compared to the assets’ carrying value.
Any excess of the assets carrying value
over its recoverable amount is expensed
to the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the
recoverable amount of an individual
asset, the Fund estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset
belongs.
m) Contributed Equity
Ordinary units are classified as equity in
accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards.
Incremental costs directly attributable to
the issue of new units are shown in equity
as a deduction, net of tax, from the
proceeds.
n) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are
recognised net of the amount of goods
and services tax (GST), unless the GST
incurred is not recoverable from the
taxation authority. In this case it is
recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of the
expense.
Receivables and payables are stated
inclusive of the amount of GST receivable
or payable. The net amount of GST
recoverable from, or payable to, the
taxation authority is included with other
receivables or payables to the statement
of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross
basis. The GST components of cash
flows arising from investing or financing
activities which are recoverable from, or
payable to the taxation authority, are
presented as operating cash flows.
(o) Rounding of Amounts
The Fund is a registered scheme of a
kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100,
issued by the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission, relating to the
"rounding off" of amounts in the financial
report. Amounts in the financial report
have been rounded off in accordance with
that Class Order to the nearest thousand
dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest
dollar.
p) Critical Accounting Estimates and
Judgements
The Directors evaluate estimates and
judgements incorporated into the financial
report based upon historical knowledge
and best available current information.
Estimates assume a reasonable
expectation of future events and are
based upon current trends and economic
data, obtained both externally and within
the Fund.
Key estimates — Valuation of Investment
Properties
Independent valuations are prepared
using both the capitalisation of net
income and discounted cashflow analysis
method which are consistent with the
requirements of the relevant Accounting
Standards.
q) Earnings Per Unit (EPU)
Basic Earnings per Unit
Basic earnings per unit is calculated by
dividing:
the profit attributable to the
Unitholders, excluding any costs of
servicing equity other than ordinary
units; by
the weighted average number of
ordinary units outstanding during the
financial year.
Folkestone Real Estate Income Fund at Sydney Olympic Park Annual Report 2013/14 19
Diluted Earnings per Unit
Diluted earnings per unit adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per unit to take into account:
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary units; and
the weighted average number of additional ordinary units that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary units.
r) Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
s) Standards and interpretations in issue not yet adopted
At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective.

(a) The investment property is carried at fair value. The determination of fair value is based on an independent valuation where
appropriate. Total acquisition costs include incidental costs of acquisition such as stamp duty and legal fees.
(b) An independent valuation of the property is carried out at least annually. The independent valuation has been prepared using
both the capitalisation of net income and discounted cashflow method. The key inputs used by the valuer included passing rent
of $2.4 million and a capitalisation rate of 7.75 per cent. The property was valued by CBRE as at 30 June 2014 at $31.0 million.
CBRE have appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the valuation of properties in the relevant location.
There was a $1.25 million increase in the value of the property from the carrying value at 30 June 2013. The $1.25 million
increase is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as a net property revaluation
increment.
(c) In addition, straight line rental adjustments of $0.3 million have decreased the value of investment property (net property
revaluation decrement) with a corresponding increase in straight line rental asset (refer note 8).

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Financial Risk Management Policies
The Fund’s financial instruments consist of deposits with banks, accounts payable, and borrowings.
The Responsible Entity manages the Fund's exposure to key financial risks in accordance with its Risk Management Plan. The
objective of the plan is to support the delivery of the Fund's financial targets, whilst protecting future financial security.
The Fund has a Risk Management Program which complies with the requirements of the Australian Standard on Risk Management
(AS/NZ ISO 31000) and a Compliance Program which meets the Australian Standard for Compliance Programs (AS/NZ 3806). The
Board is committed to identifying, monitoring and mitigating risks as well as capturing opportunities. Day to day responsibility for risk
management has been delegated to executive management, with review at Board level.
The Responsible Entity reviews and implements policies for managing each risk as summarised below.
(b) Risk Exposures and Responses
Market Risk
The Fund is exposed to interest rate, liquidity and credit risks. There are no known exposures to other risks that are material to the
financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
The Fund has the following classes of financial assets and financial liabilities that are exposed to interest rate risk:
2014 2013 $000 $000
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents 819 997
Term deposit - 150
819 1,147
Financial liabilities
Interest bearing liabilities (net of fixed interest rate swaps) - -
- -
Net exposure 819 1,147
The weighted average interest rates relating to the above financial assets were as follows:
2014 2013
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents 2.80% 2.25%
Folkestone Real Estate Income Fund at Sydney Olympic Park Annual Report 2013/14 31
Financial assets are not hedged and are exposed to variable interest rate risk. The Responsible Entity believes that this exposure is
relatively low and does not pose a material risk to the Fund.
The Fund entered into a fixed rate bill until 3 December 2015 with the BOM for $14.6 million at an interest rate of 5.56 per cent p.a.
(inclusive of margin). As part of the extended facility agreement, the facility margin was reduced resulting in the interest rate
(including margin) being fixed at 5.01 per cent p.a. until December 2015, down from 5.56 per cent p.a.
Consistent with the extension to the facility term, the Fund has entered into an interest rate swap for the period from December 2015
to December 2017 for the full debt amount of $14.625 million at a rate of 4.35 per cent p.a. (exclusive of margin).
The Fund’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at face value. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in AASB 7,
since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Fund has no exposure to foreign currency movements as it does not transact or hold assets in foreign currency.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is managed by adhering to restrictions under the Fund's investment strategy from entering into contractual
arrangements that produce an exposure not covered by sufficient liquid assets or a total investment exposure in excess of total
Unitholders' funds. Further, the Responsible Entity ensures that sufficient cash and cash equivalents are maintained to meet the
needs of the Fund through cash flow monitoring and forecasting.

The table below reflects a maturity analysis of financial assets and financial liabilities based on Management's expectations.
Apparent shortfalls in cash are due to the maturity of debt facilities at various points in time. Prior to the maturity of these facilities,
the Fund will either negotiate to extend the term of these facilities or arrange new facilities on terms appropriate at that time.

Folkestone Real Estate Income Fund at Sydney Olympic Park Annual Report 2013/14 33
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Fund, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.
The Fund'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. Receivables are received within the terms of the individual property lease. Exposure at balance date is
addressed in each applicable Note.
The Fund does not have any receivables as at 30 June 2014.
The Fund does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Fund's exposure to bad debts is not
significant.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure
purposes.
AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures which requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value
measurement hierarchy:
a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);
b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or
indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and
c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The following table presents the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2014 and 30 June
2013.

The fair value of interest rate swaps are calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The Fund uses the latest
information available in the market. These instruments are included in level 2. There were no transfers between the levels during the
year.
The carrying amounts of bank deposits, receivables, other debtors, accounts payable, bank loans and distributions payable
approximate net fair value.
