The Target Fund invests globally in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), REITs type securities and real estate securities and is managed by DBS Asset Management Ltd (”DBSAM”) as the “Target Fund Manager”.. The Fund endeavours to distribute income, if any, on a quarterly basis. Benchmark The benchmark used by the Manager in measuring the performance of the Fund is the UBS Warburg Global Real Estate Investors Index (the “Benchmark”), a sub-index of EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index. (source: AMP Capital Investors Limited, UBS, Bloomberg) Performance of the Fund (1 September 2010 to 31 August 2011) 1 The Fund was launched on 19 April 2006, but for purposes of performance calculation, the commencement date was taken to be 11 May 2006, the date when the Fund commenced investing. For the period 1 September 2010 to 31 August 2011, the Fund registered a 8.54% return. The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per Unit of the Fund as at 31 August 2010 was RM0.2323 while the NAV per Unit as at 31 August 2011 was RM0.2423. The Fund has declared a gross income distribution of RM1.01 per Unit during the period under review. The Fund underperformed the Benchmark by 4.61% as the Benchmark returned 13.15% for the same period. (See Table 1 for performance of the Fund and Figure 1 for movement of the Fund versus the Benchmark respectively). On a total NAV basis, the Fund’s NAV increased from RM72.87million to RM73.78million for the period under review. For the period under review, the Fund had made two dividend payments to investors. As such, the Manager believes that the Fund’s objective of achieving consistent capital appreciation over the medium to long term has been met. For details on the average total return and annual total return of the Fund, see Table 2 and Table 3 below respectively.

The Target Fund Manager also maintained the portfolio’s exposure to senior housing in Canada. In Europe, the Target Fund Manager continued to be wary of problems in Southern Europe and remained focused on Northern Europe and Scandinavia, participating in equity offerings in the region. In the UK, the portfolio was held an overweight exposure to London vis-à-vis the rest of the country and added to its positions in London-focused majors. The Target Fund Manager continued to be positive on selective niche firms in the UK on their long-term potential. In Japan, the Target Fund Manager initially increased the portfolio’s exposure to Japanese REITs (“JREITs”) in the first half of the period under review on expectations that the exposure will benefit from the Bank of Japan’s asset purchase program. In the first quarter of 2011, the Target Fund Manager began to shift its focus towards developers with a domestic focus and increased the portfolio’s exposure to developers on expectations that they will benefit from the post-earthquake reconstruction efforts ahead of J-REITs. 3 During the period under review, the Target Fund Manager remained overweight on its exposure into the Asia-Pacific (ex-Japan) region backed by its healthier economic growth expectations as compared to the major developed markets. The portfolio’s largest overweight was tilted towards Singapore, where the portfolio’s exposure was focused on Singapore office and hotel owners. The Target Fund Manager increased the portfolio’s exposure to Global Logistic Properties, a Singapore-listed industrial developer in China and Japan. The portfolio was also overweight on its exposure into Hong Kong, where exposure was focused on Hong Kong office and retail landlords. The Target Fund Manager maintained its overweight stance on Malaysia, and added an overweight position in Thailand during the period under review. In Australia, the Target Fund Manager kept to its underweight in the Australian REITs (A-REITs) sector, with selective exposure to industrial and office asset owners. Asset Allocation From 1 September 2010 to 31 August 2011, the Fund’s exposure to the GPSF ranged from 91.59% to 99.57% of the Fund’s NAV, while the balance was held in cash. For a snapshot of the Fund’s significant changes in the asset mix, see Table 4 below. Table 4: Summary of Asset Allocation as at 31 August 2011 Asset Allocation 31 Aug 2011 31 Aug 2010 31 Aug 2009 DBS Global Property Securities Fund 99.57% 91.59% 98.39% Cash 0.43% 8.41% 1.61% Total 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% The portfolio's exposure into the Target Fund increased from the previous period under review as it maintained its exposure of 95% to 99.8% into the Target Fund. Review of Market (1 September 2010 to 31 August 2011) North America In the twelve months to August 2011, global property stocks gained 9.8% in US Dollar (USD) terms according to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index. The sector underperformed global equities, with the MSCI All Country World Index gaining 8.3%. During the period under review, U.S. property stocks gained 13.5% in USD terms according to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT U.S. Index. Generally healthy macro data and the second quantitative easing (QE2) program initiated by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Feds) in November 2010 provided a boost to property stocks during the first half of the review period. Generally weaker domestic macro data and heightened global uncertainties in the second half of the review period weighed on positive performance. The U.S. Consumer Confidence index slumped to a two-year low of 44.5 in August 2011 from 59.2 in July 2011, as Americans worried about employment and incomes. The Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook Survey for August fell to negative 30.7 which was much lower than expected, and initial jobless claims continued to be stubbornly high. The sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone and the debate surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling heavily dampened investor sentiment in August, with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT U.S. Index down 6.1% for the month. Despite the negative backdrop, strong corporates continued to be able to raise equity, with AvalonBay raising USD 630 million in a secondary offering, RLJ Lodging Trust’s USD 600 million initial public offering (IPO) and Allied Properties issuing Canadian Dollar (CND) 90 million to fund three previously-announced acquisitions. Australia During the period under review, A-REITs underperformed their global peers with the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index recording a negative return of 8.5% in Australian Dollar (AUD) terms. In USD terms however, the index gained 10.0%, largely due to the strengthening of the AUD against the USD. In the Target Fund Manager’s view, this reflects the A-REITs returning to a low-beta nature in an environment of rising stock prices, a stronger AUD impacting REITs with overseas assets, and the effect of several large equity issuances in the sector. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) raised its cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.75% in November, and left it unchanged at its meetings in February and August. In the first quarter of 2011, Australian gross domestic product (GDP) shrank 0.9% on a quarter-to-quarter basis, the largest decline in 20 years as extensive flooding hit commodity exports. Growth recovered in the second quarter with the GDP expanding 4 by 1.2%, boosted by strong manufacturing and transport growth. In corporate news, the Westfield Group (WDC) announced a restructuring plan in November 2010 which will see it spin off a 50% interest in its Australian and New Zealand assets. WDC will attempt to raise AUD 3.5 billion in new equity, with AUD 1.75 million completed in November. Towards the end of the period under review, WDC entered the Brazilian market with the acquisition of a 50% stake in Almeida Junior Shopping Centers for AUD 440 million. Other corporate developments included Commonwealth Property raising AUD 274 million to fund new acquisitions, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s acquisition of 50% of Northland Shopping Centre from CFS Retail Property Trust, the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation’s purchase of a portfolio of industrial assets from Australand, and an agreement by the Blackstone Group to purchase the Valad Property Group in a deal which values the Australian owner of office and industrial assets at AUD 208 million. Europe European stocks were the best performing among the major regions, with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Eurozone Index jumping 17.4% in USD terms over the period under review. Most of the gains came in the first six months of the period under review as concerns surrounding the sovereign debt crises in various Eurozone countries remained in their infancy. During this period, the European Central Bank (ECB) maintained its accommodative policy and successfully dealt with the sovereign crises as they occurred. Market conditions turned south during the second half of the period under review as the likelihood of a sovereign default intensified and investor sentiment in the region turned negative. Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal all saw their cost of borrowing increase given concerns over their sovereign debt. Apart from southern Europe, economic growth continued to improve and had a positive impacting the property space. In major company news, Unibail-Rodamco announced a plan to sell EUR 2.5 billion worth of assets, taking advantage of improving market conditions, and Carrefour decided to delay the IPO of its property assets, expected to be worth approximately EUR 10 billion amidst market uncertainty. In the UK, property stocks generally did well for the period under review, with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT UK Index gaining 17.2% in USD terms. Positive performance was however, dragged down by civil unrest which occurred in early August, where several London boroughs and many towns across England suffered widespread rioting, looting and arson. Given the large-scale disturbances, equity markets reacted negatively with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT UK Index down 11.7% for the month in USD terms. In corporate news, Hansteen and Capital & Counties issued British Pounds (GBP) 250 million worth of new equity, RBS agreed to sell GBP 1.4 billion of commercial property loans to private equity group Blackstone, and Capital and Counties submitted planning applications for its GBP 8 billion Earl’s Court development, one of the largest ever undertaken in Central London. Asia During the period under review, the Japanese property stocks underperformed their regional peers and were virtually unchanged in Japanese Yen (JPY) terms, according to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Japan Index. In USD terms however, the index gained 9.8%. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced an asset purchase program explicitly aimed at bringing down risk premiums in order to enhance monetary easing. REITs were included in the list of targeted investments along with exchange traded funds (ETF), Japanese government bonds, commercial paper and corporate bonds. This news provided support to the J-REITs which rallied and outperformed the developers for this period. The earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 affected property stocks heavily with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Japan Index dipped 16.7% in USD terms in March. Subsequently, generally healthy macro data showed improving signs of recovery for the domestic economy. In real estate news, Japan Retail Fund raised nearly JPY 20 billion and BLife Investment Corp raised nearly JPY 13 billion in secondary equity issues. Orix REIT and United Urban raised close to JPY 75 billion in May through equity offerings. Tokyo office vacancy for August improved to 8.65% from 8.76% a month ago. In Hong Kong, property stocks fell 0.5% in USD terms during the period under review, as measured by the Hang Seng Property Index. Over the twelve months through August, Hong Kong home prices gained 17.2% according to the Centa-City Leading Index, despite the tight policies in effect. In November 2011, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced lower loan-to-value ratios, and a Special Stamp Duty on residential properties resold within 24 months. The Financial Secretary’s Budget Speech on 23 February 2011 revealed no new demand-side cooling policies for the residential market led to an increase in activity for new launches. In June, the government announced that eight sites, potentially yielding 6,000 residential units, would be auctioned in the third quarter of 2011. The government also further lowered mortgage loan-to-value ratio limits by 10 percentage points across the board, and imposed a further reduction of 10 percentage points for buyers without proof of income in Hong Kong. In corporate news, National Electronic sold a 8,302 square feet (sqf) house at the Peak for a record price of Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) 800 million or HKD 96,362 per square foot (psf). In August 2011, a consortium consisting of Kerry Properties, Sino Land and Manhattan Group won an auction for a residential site in Shatin for HKD 5.5 billion, below the expected HKD 7.2 - 9.3 5 billion. The consortium was the only bidder and the purchase price was its opening bid. Cheung Kong won the tender for a residential site at Oil Street for HKD 6.3 billion, lower than initial expected HKD 8.0 - 9.1 billion. In the month of August, Wheelock Properties also won the tender for a commercial site in Hung Hom through a bid of HKD 4.0 billion, exceeding the expected range of HKD 3.0 -3.4 billion. Chinese property stocks ended mostly lower during the period under review. Several rounds of tightening measures were implemented by the Chinese Government over the year, including higher down payments for first-home buyers, administrative purchase restrictions for homes in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, a ban on mortgages for buyers of third homes or more, and for non-local buyers without a one-year local tax or social security payment record. Cities which implemented home purchase restrictions as per the government’s tightening measures saw lower sales. Conversely, sales were strong in certain cities which had yet to implement the restrictions. Home purchase restrictions have been implemented in more than 30 cities, according to JP Morgan. Singapore property stocks lagged the region as measured by the FTSE ST Real Estate Index which underperformed by 4.9% in USD terms for the twelve months through August, a result of the numerous tightening measures imposed by the Government. Just as in Hong Kong and China, policy tightening for the property space in Singapore included higher loan-to-value ratios, restrictive mortgage terms for second home loans, higher stamp duties, higher supply of Housing Development Board (HDB) flats, a longer minimum ownership period for HDB flats, and a ban on owning private homes during this minimum holding period. In April, the Urban Redevelopment Authority reported private residential prices rose 2.2% on a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis in the first quarter of 2011 (1Q11), slower than the 2.7% increase in the forth quarter of 2010 (4Q10). Office rents grew 5.4% on QoQ terms in 1Q11, up from 4.7% in 4Q10. Retail rents edged up 0.8%, from 1.7% in 4Q10. Industrial rents, whereas rose 6.3%, faster than the 5.0% in 4Q11. In June, the government announced that it will release land which can yield a total of 8,115 units under the Confirmed List for the second half of 2011. This equals the 8,100 units released in the first half of 2011. Land for an additional 6,080 units were included for sale under the Reserve List, lower than the 6,185 units in the first half of 2011. In major transactions, CapitaMall Trust also announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Iluma, a mall in the Bugis Street area, for Singapore Dollar (SGD) 295 million and CDL Hospitality Trusts acquired Studio M Hotel from its sponsor, Millennium & Copthorne Hotels, for SGD 154 million. CapitaMalls Asia acquired an additional 50% stake in two Shanghai malls, paying a total of SGD 950 million, and Capitaland bought a prime residential site in Hangzhou for SGD 215 million. More corporate news for the first quarter - Mapletree Commercial Trust’s IPO raised SGD 893 million, and an apartment at the SC Global project - The Marq was reportedly sold for SGD 5,842 psf, a new record for Singapore. Investment Outlook & Portfolio Strategy North America In the U.S., the Target Fund Manager expects the Federal Reserve to continue with its accommodative monetary policy in the near term. Given the weakness in non-farm payroll numbers the Target Fund Manager continues to be skeptical about the strength of the recovery in the U.S, however the base scenario remains one of slow growth and not a recession. Political uncertainty continues to be a concern given that focus will soon shift to the 2012 presidential elections. The Target Fund Manager expects defensive sectors to continue to do well given current weaknesses in the broader economy. Positive fundamentals continue to be visible in western Canada backed by the region’s oil-driven economy. Europe In Europe, the Target Fund Manager believes that further financial dislocation is a material possibility given the unresolved sovereign debt issues. It is expected that the European Central Bank will continue taking measures to prevent further contagion of the debt crisis, which threatens to drag the world into another recession. The portfolio has had a negative bias to Southern Europe over the last few months which the Target Fund Manager will maintain. In particular, austerity measures are expected in the peripheral European Union (EU) economies to continue to be a drag on consumption in Southern Europe. Northern Europe continues to do well but might suffer from contagion through its banking system. 6 Asia In recent months the outlook for the global economy has become more uncertain in view of the unfolding sovereign debt situation in the Eurozone and U.S. The Target Fund Manager views the economies of the Asia-Pacific ex-Japan region, while not immune to a slowdown in the major developed nations, should continue to grow at a relatively healthy pace. The Target Fund Manager continues to believe that this should be broadly supportive of commercial real estate values and rents. The Target Fund Manager remains cautious on the residential markets in Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, but maintains its view that policy tightening may be at an end in China’s residential sector. The Target Fund Manager continues to be positive on selected developer names in Malaysia, and is now more positive on Thai developers, given the imminent announcement of policy incentives for homebuyers. In Japan, the Target Fund Manager continues to expect industrial production to recover to pre-earthquake levels as more industries come back online. The expansion of the BoJ’s asset purchase program as well as the loose monetary policy adopted by the central bank should remain supportive to property stocks. The Target Fund Manager continues to expect rents in Tokyo to be weak but believe vacancy should drop as tenants move to Grade A buildings to take advantage of the low rents. It is expected that suburban retail sales will recover to pre-quake levels and also expect more J-REIT secondary offerings.

A BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Fund have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise indicated, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards in Malaysia. The significant accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied in the audited financial statements for the period ended 31 August 2010, except for the adoption of new and revised FRSs which are effective for financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2010. Except as discussed below, these new and revised FRSs do not give rise to any significant effects on the financial statements of the Fund. • FRS 8 "Operating Segments" (effective from 1 July 2009) replaces FRS 1142004 Segment Reporting. The new standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The Fund has adopted FRS 8 retrospectively. • The improvement to FRS 8 (effective from 1 January 2010) clarifies that entities that do not provide information about segment assets to the chief operating decision-maker will no longer need to report this information. Prior year comparatives must be restated. • FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (effective for accounting period on or after 1 January 2010). The new standard supersedes the disclosure part of FRS 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and Disclosures and introduces new disclosures relating to financial instruments. This standard does not have any impact on the classification and valuation of the Fund’s financial instruments. • The revised FRS 101 “Presentation of financial statements” (effective from 1 January 2010) prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, 'non-owner changes in equity') in the statement of changes in equity. 'Non-owner changes in equity' are to be presented separately from owner changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity will be required to be shown in a performance statement, but entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the statement of comprehensive income and statement of comprehensive income). The Fund has elected to present this statement as one single statement. Where entities restate or reclassify comparative information, they will be required to present a restated balance sheet as at the beginning comparative period in addition to the current requirement to present balance sheets at the end of the current period and comparative period. The revised FRS 101 was adopted retrospectively by the Fund. • FRS 107 “Statement of cash flows” (effective from 1 January 2010) clarifies that only expenditure resulting in a recognised asset can be categorised as a cash flow from investing activities. 15 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 (CONTINUED) A BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) • FRS 110 “Events after the balance sheet date” (effective from 1 January 2010) reinforces existing guidance that a dividend declared after the reporting date is not a liability of an entity at that date given that there is no obligation at that time. • FRS 118 “Revenue” (effective from 1 January 2010) provides more guidance when determining whether an entity is acting as a ‘principal’ or as an ‘agent’. This standard does not have material impact on the classification and valuation of the Fund's financial statements. • The amendments to FRS 132 “Financial instruments: Presentation” and FRS 101(revised) “Presentation of financial statements” - “Puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on liquidation” (effective from 1 January 2010) require entities to classify puttable financial instruments and instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a prorata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation as equity, if they have particular features and meet specific conditions. • FRS 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (effective from 1 January 2010) GN3 establishes principles for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy and sell non-financial items. Hedge accounting is permitted under strict circumstances. The amendments to FRS 139 provides further guidance on eligible hedged items. The amendment provides guidance for two situations. On the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, the amendment concludes that a purchased option designated in its entirety as the hedging instrument of a one-sided risk will not be perfectly effective. The designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion is not permitted unless in particular situations. The improvement to FRS 139 clarifies that the scope exemption in FRS 139 only applies to forward contracts but not options for business combinations that are firmly committed to being completed within a reasonable timeframe. In respect of FRS 7 and FRS 139, the Fund has applied the transitional provision in the respective standards which exempts entities from disclosing the possible impact arising from the initial application of the standard on the financial statements of the Fund. A summary of the impact of the new accounting standards and amendments to published standards on the financial statements of the Fund is set out in Note 18. The new standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards which are relevant to the Fund and have not been early adopted are: • Amendments to FRS 7 "Financial instruments: Disclosures" and FRS 1 "First-time adoption of financial reporting standards" (effective from 1 January 2011) require enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of a fair value measurement hierarchy. The Fund will apply this standard when effective. • IC Interpretation 17 "Distribution of non-cash assets to owners" (effective from 1 July 2010) provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends. FRS 5 has also been amended to require that assets are classified as held for distribution only when they are available for distribution in their present condition and the distribution is highly probable. 16 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 (CONTINUED) B INCOME RECOGNITION Interest income from short term deposits with a licensed financial institution is recognised on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recognised on the ex-date, when the right to receive the dividend has been established. Realised gain and loss on sale of investment are accounted for as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment, determined on a weighted average cost basis. C DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION The proposed distributions to Unitholders are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income upon approval by the Manager. D TAXATION Current tax expense is determined according to the Malaysian tax laws and includes all taxes based upon the taxable profits. Tax on dividend income from foreign collective investment scheme is based on the tax regime of the respective country that the Fund is invested. E FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Fund’s functional and presentation currency. F FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Foreign currency transactions in the Fund are accounted for at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing as at the date of the statement of financial position. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are included in the statement of comprehensive income. Gains or losses from the changes in fair value of the investments including the effects of currency translation are presented in the statement of comprehensive income in the financial period in which they arise. The principal closing rate used in the translation of foreign currency amount is as follows: Foreign currency 1 Singapore Dollar 17 2011 RM 2010 RM 2.474 ═════════ 2.322 ═════════ SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 (CONTINUED) G FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS (i) Classification The Fund designates its investment in equity securities as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss when they are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis. (ii) Recognition and measurement Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date – the date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. 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 ‘net gain/(loss) on financial assets at fair value through profit and loss ’ in the period in which they arise, any unrealised gains however are not distributable. Investment in collective investment scheme is valued at the last published NAV per unit at the date of the statement of financial position. H OTHER ASSETS Trade receivables and other financial assets are carried at amortised cost. The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. 18 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 (CONTINUED) H OTHER ASSETS (CONTINUED) If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in statement of comprehensive income. I FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability. Financial liabilities, within the scope of FRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities. The Fund’s financial liabilities which include trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Gains and losses are recognised in statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. J AMOUNT DUE FROM/TO BROKERS Amounts due from and to brokers represent receivables for securities sold and payables for securities purchased that have been contracted for but not yet settled or delivered on the statement of financial position date respectively. These amounts are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment for amounts due from brokers. A provision for impairment of amounts due from brokers is established when there is objective evidence that the Fund will not be able to collect all amounts due from the relevant broker. Significant financial difficulties of the broker, probability that the broker will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default in payments are considered indicators that the amount due from brokers is impaired. Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. K CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances, and deposits held in highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 19 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 (CONTINUED) L CREATION AND CANCELLATION OF UNITS The Fund issues cancellable units, which are cancelled at the holder’s option and are classified as equity. Cancellable units can be put back to the Fund at any time for cash equal to a proportionate share of the Fund’s NAV. The outstanding units are carried at the redemption amount that is payable as at the date of the statement of financial position if the holder exercises the right to put the unit back to the Fund. Units are created and cancelled at the holder’s option at prices based on the Fund’s NAV per unit at the time of creation or cancellation. The Fund’s NAV is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to Unitholders with the total number of outstanding units. M PROCEEDS AND PAYMENTS ON CREATION AND CANCELLATION OF UNITS The NAV per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are created or cancelled is calculated by reference to the NAV per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day. Units in the Fund are classified as equity in the statement of financial position and are stated at fair value representing the price at which Unitholders can redeem the units from the Fund. N SEGMENT REPORTING A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the strategic asset allocation committee of the Manager that makes strategic decisions. 20 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 (CONTINUED) O FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is the amount at which a financial asset could be exchanged or a financial liability settled, between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The information presented herein represents the estimates of fair values as at the statement of financial position date. Where available, quoted and observable market prices are used as the measure of fair values. Where such quoted and observable market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on a range of methodologies and assumptions regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash flows and other factors. Changes in the uncertainties and assumptions could materially affect these estimates and the resulting fair value estimates. A range of methodologies and assumptions had been used in deriving the fair values of the Fund’s financial instruments as at the statement of financial position date. The total fair value of each financial instrument is not materially different from the total carrying value. P CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the Financial Reporting Standards in Malaysia requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial period. Although these estimates are based on the Manager’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the Manager and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Fund makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain key variables that are anticipated to have material impact to the Fund’s results and financial position are tested for sensitivity to changes in the underlying parameters. The Fund uses significant judgement in determining whether an investment is impaired. The Fund evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than its initial cost of investment, and the financial health and near-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, macroeconomic factors and speculation. 21 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 1 INFORMATION ON THE FUND The unit trust fund was constituted under the name HwangDBS Global Property Fund (the “Fund”) pursuant to the execution of a Master Deed dated 20 March 2006, Second Supplemental Master Deed dated 18 June 2007 and Third Supplemental Master Deed dated 28 August 2008 (the “Deeds”) between HwangDBS Investment Management Berhad (the “Manager”) and HSBC (Malaysia) Trustee Berhad (the “Trustee”). The Fund commenced operations on 11 May 2006 and will continue its operations until terminated by the Trustee as provided under Clause 12.1 of the Master Deed. The Fund may invest in collective investment schemes, liquid assets, and any other investments not otherwise prohibited by the SC from time to time for a feeder fund. All investments will be subjected to the SC’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds, the Deeds and the objective of the Fund. The main objective of the Fund, a feeder fund, is to provide investors with regular income distributions and medium to long-term capital appreciation during the investment period by investing in a single collective investment scheme that invest globally in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), REITs type securities and real estate securities. The Manager is a company incorporated in Malaysia. The principal activities of the Manager are establishment and management of unit trust funds. 2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks which include market risk (including price risk, interest risk, credit risk), liquidity risk, currency risk, country risk and risk on changes in property regulation.

It represents the potential loss the Fund might suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements. The Manager manages the risk of unfavourable changes in prices by continuous monitoring of the performance and risk profile of the investment portfolio. The table below shows the financial assets of the Fund as at 31 August 2011 which is exposed to price risk. 2011 RM Quoted Investment Collective investment scheme designated at fair value 73,462,343 ═════════ The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Fund’s investments to price risk movements as at 31 August 2011. The analysis is based on the assumptions that the market price increased by 5% and decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant and that fair value of the Fund’s investment moved according to the historical correlation of the index. Disclosures below are shown in absolute terms, changes and impacts could be positive or negative. Change in price % Impact on profit before tax RM Impact on net asset value RM 3,673,117 ════════ 3,673,117 ════════ 2011 Collective investment scheme designated at fair value (b) 5 Interest rate risk The Fund’s exposure to the interest rate risk is mainly confined to short term placement with a financial institution. The Manager overcomes this exposure by way of maintaining deposits on short term basis. 23 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 (CONTINUED) 2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (b) Interest rate risk (continued) The effective weighted average interest rate of deposits placement with a licensed financial institution and unquoted fixed income securities per annum as at the date of the statement of financial position are as follows: 2010 2011 % % Short term deposits with a licensed financial institution ═════════ 2.65 ═════════ The deposits have an average maturity of less than 1 year. (c) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer or counterparty to make timely payments of interest, principals and proceeds from realisation of investment. The Manager manages the credit risk by undertaking credit evaluation to minimise such risk. Credit risk arising from placements on deposits in licensed financial institutions is managed by ensuring that the Fund will only place deposits in reputable licensed financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk before any credit enhancements is the carrying amount of the financial assets as set out below: Collective investment scheme foreign RM Cash balance and deposits RM Other assets RM Total RM 73,462,343 ──────── 73,462,343 ════════ 180,606 ──────── 180,606 ════════ 310,607 ──────── 310,607 ════════ 73,462,343 180,606 310,607 ──────── 73,953,556 ════════ As at 31 August 2011 DBS Global Property Securities Fund Finance Others 24 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011 (CONTINUED) 2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (c) Credit risk (continued) Collective investment scheme foreign RM Cash balance and deposits RM Other assets RM Total RM 66,745,494 ──────── 66,745,494 ════════ 6,319,865 ──────── 6,319,865 ════════ 128 ──────── 128 ════════ 66,745,494 6,319,865 128 ──────── 73,065,487 ════════ As at 31 August 2010 DBS Global Property Securities Fund Finance Others Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that investments cannot be readily sold at or near its actual value without taking a significant discount. This will result in lower NAV of the Fund. The Manager manages this risk by maintaining sufficient level of liquid assets to meet anticipated payment and cancellations of unit by Unitholders, liquid assets comprise cash, deposits with licensed financial institutions and other instruments, which are capable of being converted into cash within 7 days.

As such, the foreign currency risks may have a significant impact on the returns of the Fund. The Manager will evaluate the likely directions of the foreign currency versus Ringgit Malaysia based on considerations of economic fundamentals such as interest rate differentials, balance of payments position, debt levels, and technical chart considerations. The following table sets out the foreign currency risk concentrations and counterparties of the Fund: Collective investment scheme foreign RM Cash balance and deposits RM Other assets RM Total RM 73,462,343 ──────── 73,462,343 ════════ 180,606 ──────── 180,606 ════════ 309,683 924 ──────── 310,607 ════════ 73,772,026 181,530 ──────── 73,953,556 ════════ As at 31 August 2011 Singapore Malaysia The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Fund's investments fair value to changes in foreign exchange movements as at 31 August 2011. The analysis is based on the assumption that the foreign exchange rate changes by 5%, with all other variables remain assumption that the foreign exchange rate changes by 5%, with all other variables remain constants. This represents management's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the constants. This represents management's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the foreign exchange rate, having regard to historical volatility of this rate. Any increase/decrease in foreign exchange rate will result in a corresponding decrease/increase in the net assets attributable to unit holders by approximately 5%.

This would imply that the feeder fund takes all the risk associated with the target fund since an adverse effect on the target fund would similarly cause an adverse effect to the feeder fund. However, by virtue of the target fund investing in a diversified portfolio of equities primarily in the United States, Australia, the European Union and Asia, the exposure to a particular country is mitigated. Risk on changes in property regulation Any material changes in rent regulation and an increase in the property taxes in respective countries would cause an adverse impact on the income of investments, thus, affecting the value of the Fund. 3 NET FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE LOSSES Realised foreign currency exchange gains Unrealised foreign currency exchange losses 4 2011 RM 2010 RM ──────── ════════ 123,502 (5,883,735) ──────── (5,760,233) ════════ MANAGEMENT FEE In accordance with the Master Deed, the Manager is entitled to a management fee at a rate not exceeding 3.00% per annum on the NAV of the Fund calculated on daily basis.

However, the FRS 132 (amendment), 'Financial instruments: Presentation', and FRS 101 (amendment), 'Presentation of financial statements' - 'Puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on liquidation' (effective from 1 January 2010) (the 'amendment') requires puttable financial instruments that meet the definition of a financial liability to be classified as equity where certain strict criteria are met. Those criteria include: (i) the puttable instruments must entitle the holder to a pro-rata share of net assets; (ii) the puttable instruments must be the most subordinated class and that class's features must be identical; (iii) there must be no contractual obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset other than the obligation on the issuer to repurchase; and (iv) the total expected cash flows from the puttable instrument over its life must be based substantially on the profit or loss of the issuer. As a result, the prior year financial statements are restated from amounts previously reported to conform with the amendment. The amendment has been applied retrospectively. The Unitholders’ equity has the features and meets the conditions for classification as equity instruments. Consequently, upon adoption of the amendments to FRS 132, unitholders’ equity amounting to RM73,776,841 (31.8.2010: RM72,872,194, 31.8.2009: RM66,775,882) is reclassified from financial liabilities to equity. Distributions made by the Fund are recognised as dividends in equity in the period in which they are declared.

However, the FRS 139 (new standard) ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ (effective 1 January 2010) (the ‘standard’) requires the Fund to recognise all investments in its statement of financial position as assets and shall measure them at fair value (except for a derivative that is linked to and that must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument whose fair value cannot be measured reliably) at the beginning of the financial period in which this standard is initially applied. The unrealised gains or losses transferred to the fair value reserve in the previous financial year shall be recognised as an adjustment of the balance of retained earnings at the beginning of the financial year in which this Standard is initially applied (other than for a derivative that is a designated hedging instrument).

For HSBC (Malaysia) Trustee Berhad Tan Bee Nie Head, Trust Operations Kuala Lumpur 24 October 2011 43 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE UNITHOLDERS OF HWANGDBS GLOBAL PROPERTY FUND REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We have audited the financial statements of HwangDBS Global Property Fund, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 August 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the financial year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 10 to 41. Manager’s and Trustee’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Manager of the Fund is responsible for the preparation financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) in Malaysia, and for such internal control as the Manager determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Fund’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Manager’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Manager, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 44 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE UNITHOLDERS OF HWANGDBS GLOBAL PROPERTY FUND (CONTINUED) REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Fund as of 31 August 2011 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended.
