The Directors of BlackWall Property Funds Limited ("BlackWall" or "the Company") and its controlled entities ("the Group") present their report for the half-year ended 31 December 2012.
Principal Activities
The Group is a vertically integrated property funds management business earning fee and investment income from a portfolio of income producing real estate.
Review of Operations
The net result from continuing operations for the Group for the half-year ended 31 December 2012 was a profit after tax of \$401,000 (2011: \$328,000) with total Comprehensive Income (that is including movements in reserves) of \$258,000 (2011: Loss \$3,606,000). The significant change in Comprehensive Income is due to marking to market of the Group's investment in P-REIT (ASX Code: PXT) at 31 December 2011. P-REIT ("the Trust") is a real estate investment trust for which the Group acts as manager /Responsible Entity which listed on the ASX in October 2011.
Since listing the P-REIT unit price has traded well below its Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and was \$0.115 at 31 December 2012.
The Trust is involved in court proceedings initiated by the MacarthurCook Property Securities Fund (ASX Code: MPS). The proceedings relate to a series of transactions entered into before BlackWall's businesses assumed management of the Trust. On 10 August 2012 Justice Hammerschlag handed down a judgment ("Judgment") in favour of MPS. The Judgment is for \$17,764,204 including Judgment court interest (to the date of Judgment) but excluding costs. The Responsible Entity has estimated costs and interest to be in the order of \$1.7 million bringing the total provision for the Judgment to \$19,500,000. The Responsible Entity has subsequently lodged an appeal. The appeal is set down for hearing in early April 2013. Given the Judgment the Directors resolved to impair the value of the Trust's investment in P-REIT at 30 June 2012 to its trading price of 9 cents per unit. Movements since that impairment are shown as an unrealised gain in Other Comprehensive Income.
Further commentary on the operations and the results are set out in the ASX announcement accompanying the financial statements.
Significant Changes in Affairs
There were no significant changes to the state of affairs of the Group during the financial period.
Dividends
A fully franked dividend of 0.5 cents per fully paid share was paid on 31 October 2012 (2011: nil). In addition, Directors have declared an interim fully franked ordinary dividend of 0.5 cents per fully paid share, to be paid on 28 March 2013.
Events Subsequent to Reporting Date and Likely Developments
In January 2013, the Group entered into an agreement to sell its investments in Bakehouse Cellars Pty Ltd for consideration of \$400,000. This results in a profit of \$120,000. \$200,000 cash was received in January 2013 and the remaining \$200,000 is due on 31 March 2013. On 30 January 2013, \$50,000 of borrowings was repaid to the Group's lender (refer to Note 6).

Events Subsequent to Reporting Date and Likely Developments (continued)
To the best knowledge of the Directors, there have been no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the period that have materially affected or may materially affect the Group's operations in future financial years, the results of those operations or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.
Contingencies
The Group in its capacity as investment manager of the BlackWall Storage Fund ("BSF") is entitled to a performance fee based on the uplift in BSF's underlying properties. The fee is payable on expiry of BSF in October 2013. Current property valuations will result in a performance fee of around \$1 million payable to BlackWall and its subsidiaries. Approximately \$250,000 of this fee will be attributable to outside equity interests.
Going Concern
The financial statements have 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 ordinary course of business

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Half-vear Ended 31 December 2012
$\mathbf{1}$ . Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements cover the economic entity of BlackWall Property Funds Ltd ("BlackWall" or "the Company") and its Controlled Entities ("the Group"). BlackWall Property Funds Ltd is a publicly listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The financial statements for the Group for the half-year ended 31 December 2012 were authorised for issue in accordance with the resolution $\alpha$ f the Directors $\alpha$ 22 February 2013.
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements are general purpose financial reports which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The financial statements do not include notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. It is recommended that the financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period. Any change of presentation has been made in order to make the financial statements more relevant and useful to the user.
The Group is a group of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the Directors' Report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
Going concern
The financial statements have 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 ordinary course of business.
$2.$ Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
ABN 37 146 935 131
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Half-vear Ended 31 December 2012
$2.$ Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Key estimates - Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets.
Key estimates - Available-for-sale financial assets
Financial asset provisions have been raised with reference to the prevailing prices at 31 December 2012 of available-for-sale assets measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. The fair value of the unlisted securities is determined by reference to the net assets of the underlying entities. The fair value of the listed securities is based on the closing price from the Australian Securities Exchange as at the reporting date. The fair value of the Bakehouse Bonds is measured by its face value adjusted for CPI movements.
$\mathbf{R}$ Segment Information
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The Group's primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments. The business segments are determined based on the Group management and internal reporting structure. There is only one geographical segment being Australasia.
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets.
The Group has adopted three reporting segments, Fund and Property Management, Investments and Unallocated. Following the acquisition of funds management operations, the Group's fee earning activities are primarily derived from property assets held within funds or held on balance sheet. As such the Group's operations and reporting lines are better represented by consolidating all of the fee earning, operating property businesses within the Fund and Property Management segment and returns derived by holding investments in property securities under the segment referred to as Investments.
The Fund and Property Management segment engages in funds and asset management as well as property services that include property management, leasing and general property consultancy. Management treats these operations as one "fee earning" operating segment.

The Group holds an investment in P-REIT which was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 28 October 2011 (ASX code: PXT). TFML Limited (a subsidiary of the Group) acts as the responsible entity for P-REIT. Since listing the P-REIT unit price has traded well below its Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and was \$0.115 at 31 December 2012. TFML (as P-REIT's responsible entity) is a defendant in a Supreme Court action initiated by the MacarthurCook Property Securities Fund. The proceedings relate to a series of transactions entered into before BlackWall's businesses assumed management of the trust. On 10 August 2012 Justice Hammerschlag handed down a judgment ("Judgment") in favour of MPS. The Judgment is for \$17,764,204 including Judgment court interest (to the date of Judgment) but excluding costs. The Responsible Entity has estimated costs and interest to be in the order of \$1.7 million bringing the total provision for the Judgment to \$19,500,000. The Responsible Entity has subsequently lodged an appeal. The appeal is set down for hearing in early April 2013.
The Bakehouse Bonds are CPI linked debt instruments against a large scale mixed use property known as the Bakehouse Quarter in North Strathfield, Sydney. The Bonds' face value of \$5 million is indexed to CPI and the current value is \$5.06 million. The Bonds will mature on 30 June 2020. In addition, a coupon of 5.5% per annum is paid quarterly in arrears.
All other available-for-sale assets are investments in various managed investment schemes for which members of the Group act as responsible entity or investment manager.

Independent Review Report to the Investors of Blackwall Property Funds Limited and Controlled Entities
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Blackwall Property Funds Limited and Controlled Entities ("the Group"), which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The Directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2012 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Blackwall Property Funds Limited and Controlled Entities, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enguiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the Directors of Blackwall Property Funds Limited and Controlled Entities, would be in the same terms if given to the Directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
Independent Review Report to the Investors of Blackwall Property Funds Ltd and Consolidated Entities
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Blackwall Property Funds Limited and Controlled Entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- $(a)$ giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2012 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations $(b)$ Regulations 2001.
