Centro MCS 28 and Controlled EntitiesDirectors' report

30 June 2012(continued)

Principal activitiesThe principal activity of CMCS 28 Group during the course of the year was investment in retail property.

There was no significant change in the nature of this activity during the year.

Review of operationsCMCS 28 Group

CMCS 28 Group recorded a net profit of $2.099 million for the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: $21.589 million profit).

The movement in net profit for the year compared to the corresponding year is largely due to:

• Lower share of net profits from investments accounted for using the equity method due to lower revaluation gain in theunderlying property valuation of the Group's interest in equity accounted investments;

• Recognition of higher other Responsible Entity fees relating to the recognition of provision for performance feespayable to the manager, as a result of the Net Asset Backing ("NAB") now being higher than the fee threshold asprescribed per the Trust's Constitution;

• Higher financing costs and amortisation of upfront borrowing costs in relation to debt refinancing; and• The net loss on derivative financial instruments due to the early termination of the interest rate swap contract during

the year.

Distributions and return of capital attributable to unitholdersCMCS 28 GroupDistributions paid/payable to unitholders are in line with an expected annual rate of 2.00% (2011: 2.00%).

Final distribution of 0.50 cents per unit have been paid for the quarter ended 30 June 2012. Distributions paid or payableto unitholders for the year, including capital distributions, totalled $9.971 million (2011: $1.899 million). Distributions paidor to be paid in respect of the current financial year ended 30 June 2012 are as follows:

Significant changes in the state of affairsDuring the year the following significant changes in the state of affairs occurred:

Major Restructure Developments

On 9 August 2011, Centro Properties Group (“CNP”) announced that it had entered into an agreement (“ImplementationAgreement”) with a majority of its senior lenders and certain CNP managed funds to aggregate Australian assets andinterests held by CNP, Centro Retail Trust and certain CNP managed funds (excluding Centro MCS Syndicates) to form anew listed entity, CRF (“Aggregation”).

The unitholders of all the entities forming this aggregation voted in favour of the restructure. Accordingly, upon satisfyingall regulatory and other conditions, on 1 December 2011, court approval was obtained for the formation of CRF, withAggregation occurring on 14 December 2011.

Amongst other terms, the Implementation Agreement contained the following provisions:

• The transfer of ownership and control of Centro MCS Manager Limited, the former Responsible Entity of CMCS28 Group, from CNP to CRF, whereby it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRF; and

• The transfer of the CMCS 28 related party loan from CNP to CRF on the same terms and conditions.

Centro MCS 28 and Controlled EntitiesDirectors' report

30 June 2012(continued)

Significant changes in the state of affairs (continued)Subsequent to Aggregation, Centro MCS Manager Limited was replaced by Retail Responsible Entity Limited as theResponsible Entity of CMCS 28 Group on 10 May 2012.

Following Aggregation CNP changed its name to CNPR Group on 23 December 2011.

Disposal of investment in unlisted unit trust

CMCS 28 Group owns 100% of the units in CMCS 28 Centro City Perth Holding Trust, the principal underlying asset ofwhich was 50% ownership in the Perth City Central Shopping Centre. Perth City Central Shopping Centre (100% interest)was sold on 24 January 2012 for a consideration of $57.000 million. The Group's share of the net proceeds from this salewas largely used to pay-down the Group's debt of $15.900 million on the same date and pay a special distribution of 8.50cents per unit of $8.072 million to the Group investors and Equity noteholders on 10 February 2012.

Refinance of secured borrowings

The Group's external debt facility of $171.900 million matured on 15 December 2011, of which $15.900 million of thefacility was extended with the same lender for a period of one year with maturity date of 17 December 2012. As notedabove this portion of the loan was fully repaid on 24 January 2012 from the Group's share of the net proceeds from thesale of Perth City Central.

The facility of $156.000 million was repaid through a refinance with a new lender for the same amount for a period of twoyears with maturity date of 13 December 2013. On 30 January 2012, the Group drew down its unused portion of itsborrowing facility amounting to $1.500 million, to be progressively spent on capital works at Centro Bankstown. Refer tonote 10. This new debt facility was refinance through Centro Bankstown Sub Trust No.1, which is 100% owned by CMCS28.

Removal of CNPR Limited (“CNPR”) as the counterparty under the Flexible Exit Mechanism and replacing it with CentroRetail Limited (“CRL”)

As a result of the successful restructure and creation of CRF, unitholders in the Group were asked to approve a proposedResolution to amend the Flexible Exit Mechanism provisions in the Constitution of the Group to remove CPL as thecounterparty under the Flexible Exit Mechanism and replace it with CRL (which is the corporate entity within the stapledvehicles that make up CRF and which agreed to replace CNPR).

On 7 February 2012, unitholders voted in favour of this proposed change and consequently, CRL is now the counterpartyunder the existing Flexible Exit Mechanism provisions.

Events occurring after the reporting periodPut Option Notice under the Flexible Exit Mechanism

As previously reported the Group reached the end of its investment term on 30 June 2012. On 10 August 2012, theResponsible Entity of the Group, Retail Responsible Entity Limited, issued a Put Option Notice under the Flexible ExitMechanism to all CMCS 28 unitholders.

Unitholders who elect to exit the Group under the Put Option will have all (but not part) of their units acquired by CRL.Unitholders had until 7 September 2012 to elect whether to exit under this Put Option.

CRL has the right to "call (or buy)" all investors units under the Flexible Exit Mechanism, and has until 21 September 2012,to exercise this "call". CRL has advised that it intends to "call" (or buy) all investor's units.

Unitholders who exit the Group via the Flexible Exit Mechanism would be expected to receive an amount which isequivalent to the estimated Net Asset Backing (“NAB”) of $0.915 per unit with value date on approximately 5 October2012. This NAB takes into account the performance fee payable to the Responsible Entity which has been calculated inaccordance with the Group's constitution and the original prospectus issued for the Group.

In the event CRL doesn't call all units the Group will continue with remaining investors for a further term of three years until30 June 2015 or the Responsible Entity may still decide that the Group's investment property should be sold.

Except for the matters discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen in the interval between 30 June 2012and the date hereof that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:(a) the Group's operations in future financial years;(b) the results of those operations in future financial years; or(c) the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

• On rollover or following a "call" of all units under the Flexible Exit Mechanism provisions, where the Responsible Entitywould have considered and satisfied itself how the fees are to be funded.

As previously reported the Group reached the end of its investment term on 30 June 2012. On 10 August 2012, theResponsible Entity of the Group, Retail Responsible Entity Limited, issued a Put Option Notice under the Flexible ExitMechanism to existing unitholders.

Unitholders who elect to exit the Group under the Put Option will have all (but not part) of their units acquired by CentroRetail Limited (“CRL”). Unitholders had until 7 September 2012 to elect whether to exit under this Put Option.

CRL has the right to "call (or buy)" all investors units under the Flexible Exit Mechanism, and has until 21 September 2012,to exercise this "call". CRL has advised that it intends to "call" (or buy) all investor's units.

In the event CRL doesn't call all units the Group will continue with remaining investors for a further term of three years until30 June 2015.

After taking into account all available information, the Directors have concluded that the loans payable by CMCS 28 Groupto Centro Retail Australia and the end of the syndicate term will not cause significant uncertainty as to the going concern ofCMCS 28 Group and there are reasonable grounds to believe that the basis of preparation of financial report on a goingconcern basis is appropriate.

The Directors have formed this view based on a number of factors including:

• The Group's net asset position of $89.743 million; and

• The underlying performance of the Group's investment portfolio, including the forecast cash flows.

Centro MCS 28 and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements

30 June 2012(continued)

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)Historical cost conventionThese financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale financial assets,certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) and investment property which have all beenrecognised at fair value.

Significant accounting estimates, judgements and assumptionsThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certaincritical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying theGroup's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas whereassumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

(c) Principles of consolidation

These financial statements comprise the consolidated accounts of CMCS 28 and its controlled entities.

Controlled entities are those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies ofthe entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, itsresults are included in the Group's income statement from the date on which control commences. Where control of anentity ceases during a financial year its results are included for that part of the year during which control existed.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The effects of alltransactions between entities in the Group are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of controlled entities are shown separately in the income statement andbalance sheet respectively.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that the futureeconomic benefits will flow to the Group and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as describedbelow. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the revenuehave been resolved.

(i) Property ownership revenueAs the owner of a shopping centre, the Group derives rental revenue from the leasing of this property. Lease income isrecognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rental revenue is recognised on an accrual basis asearned.

(ii) Distribution revenueDistribution revenue is recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.

(iii) Interest revenueInterest revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(e) Income tax

Under current income tax legislation no income tax is payable by the Group provided the taxable income is fully distributedto unitholders or the unitholders become presently entitled to all the taxable income.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highlyliquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cashand which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown withininterest bearing liabilities in current liabilities.

(g) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using theeffective interest method, less a provision for impairment.

30 June 2012(continued)

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)Collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectibleare written off when identified. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there isobjective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of thereceivables.

(h) Investments in associates and joint ventures

Investments in associates are accounted for in the Group’s financial statements using the equity method or at fair valuethrough profit or loss in accordance with the Group’s election under the exemption in AASB 128 Investments inAssociates. Under the equity method, the CMCS 28 Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates isrecognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment. Associates are those entitiesover which the Group exercises significant influence, but not control.

Associates are those entities over which the Group exercises significant influence, but not control. Investments in jointventures are those entities in which the Group has a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control over theeconomic activities of the entity.

Investments in associates are accounted for in the Group’s financial statements using the equity method. Under the equitymethod, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in the consolidated IncomeStatement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves. Thecumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment.

Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements.

(i) Financial assets

The Group classifies its investments in financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value throughprofit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. Theclassification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss These include financial assets that are held for trading purposes which may be sold.

Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception, are those that are managed and theirperformance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Group's documented investment strategy. TheGroup's policy is for the Responsible Entity to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basistogether with other related financial information.

(ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in anactive market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention ofselling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months afterthe end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets and will be discounted to present value. Loansand receivables are included in receivables in the balance sheet.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturitiesthat the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable securities, are non-derivatives that are eitherdesignated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.

Recognition and derecognition Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date - the date on which the Group commits to purchase orsell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets notcarried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows fromthe financial assets have expired or has been transferred and the Group have transferred substantially all the risks andrewards of ownership.

Centro MCS 28 and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements

30 June 2012(continued)

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)Subsequent measurement Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fairvalue. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fairvalue through profit or loss' category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Unrealisedgains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale arerecognised directly in equity in the available-for-sale investments revaluation reserve. When securities classified asavailable-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments deferred in equity are recycled to theincome statement.

If the market for a financial asset is not active (as for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by usingvaluation techniques. These include reference to the fair values of recent arm's length transactions, involving the sameinstruments or other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing modelsrefined to reflect the issuer's specific circumstances.

Impairment The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financialassets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in thefair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidenceexists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition costand the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – isremoved from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement onequity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

(j) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year andwhich are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and not discounted due to their short term nature.

(k) Interest bearing liabilities

Interest bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Interest bearing liabilitiesare subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and theredemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interestmethod.

Interest bearing liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlementof the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

(l) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that isrequired to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed asincurred.

(m) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it isprobable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, thereimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle thepresent obligation at the end of the reporting period using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to theprovision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free government bond rate relative to the expected life of theprovision is used as a discount rate.

Centro MCS 28 and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements

30 June 2012(continued)

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects thetime value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of timeis recognised in finance costs.

(n) Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequentlyremeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The method of recognising the resulting gain or lossdepends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

The Group designates certain derivatives as either:

• hedges of fair valued assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or • hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items,as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group alsodocuments its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used inhedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows ofhedged items.

(i) Fair value hedgeChanges in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the incomestatement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedge asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

(ii) Cash flow hedgeThe effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges isrecognised in equity in the hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediatelyin the income statement.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item will affect profitor loss (for instance when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place).

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedgeaccounting or when a hedge designation is cancelled, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains inequity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecasttransaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediatelytransferred to the income statement.

(iii) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accountingCertain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. A change in the fair value of any derivative instrumentthat does not qualify for hedge accounting is immediately recognised in the income statement. No derivative financialinstruments were designated into a hedging relationship and therefore all movements in fair value have been taken to theincome statement.

(o) Other financial liabilities

(i) Performance fee contracts Performance fees are recognised as a financial liability in accordance with the Constitution. The liability is initiallymeasured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method in accordancewith AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, based on the intrinsic value of the performance feethat is, the fee that would be payable based on the conditions prevailing at the end of the reporting period.

(ii) Deferred management feesDeferred management fees are recognised as a financial liability. The Group’s Constitution and Product DisclosureStatement provides for the subsequent recovery of any prior year management fees at the end of the syndicate’s term oron wind up of the Group.

The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod in accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, based on the intrinsic valueof the deferred management fee that is, the fee that would be payable based on the conditions prevailing at the end of thereporting period.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(p) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period without anydeduction for estimated future selling costs. Financial assets are valued at bid prices, while financial liabilities are valuedat asking prices.

If a quoted market price is not available on a recognised stock exchange or from a broker / dealer for non-exchange-tradedfinancial instruments, the fair value of the instrument is estimated using valuation techniques, including use of recent arm’slength market transactions, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same,discounted cash flow techniques, or any other valuation technique that provides a reliable estimate of prices obtained inactual market transactions.

Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated future cash flows are based on management's best estimatesand the discount rate used is a market rate at the end of the reporting period applicable for an instrument with similarterms and conditions. Where other pricing models are used, inputs are based on market data at the end of the reportingperiod.

The fair value of derivatives that are not exchange traded is estimated at the amount that the Group would receive or payto terminate the contract at the end of the reporting period taking into account current market conditions (e.g. appropriateyield curve) and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Specifically, the fair value of a forward exchangecontract is determined as a net present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at appropriate market rates on thevaluation date. The fair value of interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps is the estimated amount thatthe entity would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the end of the reporting period taking into account current interestrates, foreign exchange rates and the current creditworthiness of swap counterparties.

Investments in other unlisted funds are recorded at the exit price as reported by the managers of the funds.

(q) Contributed equity

Ordinary units are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new units are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from theproceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new units for the acquisition of a business are not includedin the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

(r) Net tangible asset backing per unit

(i) Basic net tangible asset backing per unitBasic net tangible asset backing per unit is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to unitholders (excludingintangible assets) by the number of units outstanding at balance date.

(ii) Adjusted net tangible asset backing per unitAdjusted net tangible asset backing per unit adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic net tangible assetbacking per unit by taking into account the equity notes (where applicable).

(s) Distributions and return of capital

A provision is made for the amount of any distribution announced or to which the unitholders became presently entitled onor before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

(t) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets of Australian entities are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amountof the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised aspart of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority is included in other receivables or payables inthe balance sheet.

Cashflows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financingactivities which are recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cashflow.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(u) Changes in accounting policy

From 1 July 2011 the Group has adopted the following Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations:

• AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

• AASB 2010-4 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual ImprovementsProject

• AASB 2010-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

• AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets

• AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (Amendment)

Adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any material effect on the financial position orperformance of the Group. The amending standards which introduce the changes to these standards have also beenadopted from 1 July 2011 and 1 July 2010 as necessary.

(v) Australian Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective

Certain new Australian Accounting Standards have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2012 reportingperiods. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new Australian Accounting Standards is set out below.

(i) AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9AASB 2010-7 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 and is available for earlyadoption. The amendment addresses the current measurement models of financial liabilities in AASB 139 FinancialInstruments: Recognition and Measurement. Under the revised model, financial liabilities which are designated at FairValue through Profit or Loss are required to have any credit value adjustments pass through other comprehensive incomeand there is no recycling of these adjustments to profit or loss on extinguishment.

The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

(ii) AASB 2010-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Datesfor First-time adoptersAASB 2010-9 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and is available for earlyadoption. The amendment provides relief for first-time adopters of Australian Accounting Standards from having toreconstruct transactions that occurred before their date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards. The amendmentsin respect of severe hyperinflation provide guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation either to resumepresenting Australian Accounting Standards financial statements or to present Australian Accounting Standards financialstatements for the first time.

The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group as it will not be a firsttime adopter as a result of operating in a severe hyperinflation environment.

(iii) AASB 2011-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergenceproject - Reduced disclosure regime This Standard makes amendments to the application of the revised disclosures to Tier 2 entities, that are applying AASB1053, and is applicable from 1 January 2013.

The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the net results or net assets of the Group.

(iv) AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management PersonnelDisclosure RequirementsAASB 2011-4 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013 and is not available for earlyadoption. The amendment deletes from AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures, individual key management personneldisclosure requirements for disclosing entities that are not companies.

The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the net results or the net assets of the Group.

(v) AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Presentation of Other Comprehensive IncomeAASB 2011-9 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012 and is available for earlyadoption. The amendment requires entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income on the basis ofwhether they might be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and those that will not.

30 June 2012(continued)

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the net results or net assets of the Group.

(vi) AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising fromAASB 9 AASB 9 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 and is available for early adoption.AASB 9 addresses the current classification and measurement models of financial assets in AASB 139 FinancialInstruments: Recognition and Measurement with a new model. Under this new model, financial assets that are debtinstruments with certain characteristics are measured at amortised cost. All other financial assets are measured at fairvalue. For equity instruments, an option is available to recognise all fair value changes in other comprehensive income.

These changes may impact the classification and measurement of financial assets held by the parent and the Group. TheGroup is still assessing the impacts of this standard.

(vii) AASB 10 Consolidated Financial StatementsAASB 10 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, and is available for earlyadoption under certain circumstances. AASB 10 replaces both AASB 127 Consolidated Financial Statements and AASBInterpretation 112 Special Purpose Entities. The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is consideredto be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including whenacting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority votingrights may give control.

Based on preliminary analysis, the adoption of AASB 10 will not have any impact on the net assets or net results of theGroup.

(viii) AASB 11 Joint ArrangementsAASB 11 replaces the recognition and measurement requirements of AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures. The standardis applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, and is available for early adoption undercertain circumstances. AASB 11 clarifies the distinction between joint operations and joint ventures, and eliminates theoption to use proportionate consolidation in accounting for joint ventures. Joint operations that give the joint venture partiesa right to the underlying assets and obligations are accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations.

Based on preliminary analysis, the adoption of AASB 11 will not have any impact on the net assets or net results of theGroup.

(ix) AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other EntitiesAASB 12 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, and is available for earlyadoption under certain circumstances. AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity's interests in subsidiaries,joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgementsmade by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about jointarrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.

Based on preliminary analysis, the adoption of AASB 12 will not have any impact on the net assets or net results of theGroup.

(x) AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and is available for earlyadoption. The amendment does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather establishes a singlesource of guidance on how fair value is determined when fair value is required or permitted. AASB 13 also expands thedisclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities recognised at fair value, including where disclosures of assets at fairvalue are required. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of thoseassumptions on the fair value determined.

Based on preliminary analysis, other than additional disclosures on how fair value is determined, the adoption of AASB 13is not expected to impact net assets or net results of the Group as the existing fair value methods used by the Group areconsistent with the guidance under AASB 13.

(xi) AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting StandardsAASB 1053 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013 and is available for early adoption.AASB 1053 introduces a differential reporting framework with Tier 1 and Tier 2 reporting requirements for preparinggeneral purpose financial statements. Whilst the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements will remainunchanged under the second tier, there will be substantially reduced disclosures in relation to these requirements forentities that do not have public accountability (as defined by the standard). The Group is still assessing theappropriateness of application of Tier 2 reporting requirements and the impacts of this standard.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)(xii) AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures This standard is as a consequence of phase 1 of the joint Trans-Tasman Convergence project of the AASB and FRSB.This standard relocates all Australian specific disclosures from other standards to one place and revises disclosures in thefollowing areas:

(a) Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards(b) The statutory basis or reporting framework for financial statements(c) Whether the financial statements are general purpose or special purpose(d) Audit fees(e) Imputation credits

The amendment will be applied from 1 July 2012, and is not expected to have a material impact on the net results or netassets of the Group.

(xiii) Annual improvements to IFRS – 2009-2011 CycleThis standard is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and is available for earlyadoption. The standard sets out amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and the relatedbases for conclusions and guidance made during the International Accounting Standards Board’s Annual Improvementsprocess. These amendments have not yet been adopted by the AASB.

The Group is still assessing the impacts of this standard

(w) Rounding of amounts

The Group is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, 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 inaccordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000), or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

2 Significant accounting estimates, judgements and assumptionsThe preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions concerning the application of accountingpolicies to be made by the Group. Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and otherfactors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Theestimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assetsand liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in theperiod in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Investment property valuesInvestment properties are carried at their fair value. Valuations are either based on an independent valuation or on aDirectors' valuation which is supported by the extrapolation of independent valuations on similar properties. Valuations aredetermined based on assessments and estimates of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns in propertymarkets and availability of similar properties, vacancy rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates.

At 30 June 2012, the carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method held by the Group is $285.000million (30 June 2011: $305.850 million). Refer to note 8 for the reconciliation of the movements in investments accountedfor using the equity method.

Fair value of mark to market derivatives and other financial instrumentsManagement uses their judgement in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments not quoted inan active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For mark to market derivativefinancial instruments, assumptions are made based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of theinstrument. Other financial instruments are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis based on assumptionssupported, where possible, by observable market prices or rates.

Collectability of trade receivablesCollectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. An allowance account (provision for impairment oftrade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts dueaccording to the original terms of the receivables.

The Responsible Entity estimates the amount to be provided for based on knowledge of individual retailer's circumstances,customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends. The amount of the allowance is continually reassessed followingany changes in individual retailer's circumstances, such as bankruptcy, with a complete review undertaken every sixmonths.

The other classes within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on thecredit history of these other classes, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due. The Group does nothold any collateral in relation to these receivables.

10 Interest bearing liabilities (continued)

(a) Secured borrowings

The secured borrowings are provided under an Australian dollar facility. The Group's external debt facility of $171.900million matured on 15 December 2011, of which $15.900 million of the facility was extended with the same lender. Theextension was for a period of 1 year with maturity date of 17 December 2012 and was fully repaid on 24 January 2012.The facility of $156.000 million was repaid through a refinance with a new lender for the same amount. The new facility isfor a period of 2 years with maturity date of 13 December 2013 and have fixed interest rates. On 30 January 2012, theGroup drew down its unused capital expenditure borrowing facility amounting to $1.500 million, to be progressively spenton capital works at Centro Bankstown.

The secured borrowings of CMCS 28 Group are secured by a first ranking fixed and floating charge over all assets andundertakings of the Group, in addition to mortgages over its equity accounted investment properties, Centro Bankstownand previously Perth City Central Shopping Centre. Perth City Central Shopping Centre was sold on 24 January 2012 andthe proceeds were used to repay the secured borrowings of $15.900 million.

(b) Equity notes

The equity notes were issued at $1.00 per note. Equity note holders are entitled to interest at a margin of 0.25% perannum above the distribution yield paid on units. The interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The equity notes arerepayable on 31 December 2013 having been extended from 30 June 2012 for a further one and half year period. On 10February 2012, the Group made a capital distribution of 8.50 cents per note. The equity notes now have a face value of91.50 cents per note. Each equity note may be converted into units:(i) in lieu of repayment at 31 December 2013; or(ii) if an accelerated repayment/conversion is triggered as described in the original Group Prospectus at the election of theequity note holder.

The conversion options are that of the equity notes holders and they have no voting rights at the meetings of unitholders.

(c) Related party loans

Centro Retail Australia provided an at-call loan of $0.900 million (30 June 2011: $0.900 million provided by CNPR Groupformerly Centro Properties Group) to Bankstown Sub Trust No.1 in order to meet its obligations. This related party loanwas entered into at arm's length and incurs a variable market interest rate.

(d) Financing arrangements

The Group did not have any unused loan facilities as at the current or prior period reporting date.

(e) Fair values

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or fordisclosure purposes.

The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non interest bearing monetary financial assets and liabilities of CMCS28 Group approximates their carrying amounts. The net fair value of interest bearing liabilities at amortised costsapproximates their carrying amounts. The net fair value of other monetary financial assets and liabilities is based uponmarket prices where a market exists or is determined by discounting the expected future cashflows by the current interestrates for assets and liabilities with similar risk profiles.

18 Financial risk managementThis note details the requirements of AASB 7 Financial Instrument Disclosures, which mandates disclosures regardingonly financial assets and financial liabilities. As a result, these disclosures, in particular the sensitivity analysis, do not takeinto account movements in non-financial assets such as investment property and investments accounted for using theequity method.

The Group's activities may expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk),credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financialmarkets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. To the extent thatthey are able to access them, the Group uses derivative financial instruments sourced from Major Trading Banks, such asinterest rate swaps, to manage its exposures to interest rate risk.

Risk management is carried out by Funds Management ("Management") under policies approved by the Board andsubject to periodic review. Management identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks and report to the Boardperiodically on the Group's derivative and debt positions and compliance with policy.

CMCS 28 Group holds the following financial instruments:

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and unit prices, will affect future cash flows orthe fair value of financial instruments.

(i) Price riskThe Group is not exposed to any significant concentrations of price risk.

(ii) Interest rate riskThe Group's interest rate risk arises from borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flowinterest rate risk and borrowings issued at fixed rates that are measured at fair value expose the Group to fair valueinterest rate risk.

There are a number of factors taken into consideration when deciding how to manage interest rate risk amongst whichinclude, the current variable interest rate debt, any pre-existing interest rate hedges, the remaining term of the Group andany potential current asset sales within the Group which may result in repayment of debt.

Following the risk assessment for the Group, the Group's operating unit decided not to hedge its variable rate debt for theyear ending 30 June 2012. In view of the short remaining term to maturity and potential asset sales, it is unlikely that anyhedging will be undertaken. However, Management will revisit its hedging strategy as part of its debt renegotiations withfinanciers.

Sensitivity analysisWhile interest rates can move up or down, having regard to the forward interest rate curve for BBSW at 30 June 2012, thetables below disclose the impact that a 25 basis point (bps) (i.e. -0.25% / +0.25%) (2011: -20bps / +50bps) shift in theinterest rates would have on the Group’s post-tax profits and other comprehensive income ("OCI"). The sensitivities havebeen reassessed by Group Treasury during the financial year in light of the current interest rate curve. This should not beconsidered a projection.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to theGroup. These counterparties include, but are not limited to, entities within Centro Retail Australia, banks and tenants atrental properties. Procedures have been established to ensure that the Group deals only with approved counterpartiesand the risk of loss is mitigated.

Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to theGroup, after allowing for appropriate set offs which are legally enforceable.

Tenant risk assessments are performed taking into consideration the financial background of the tenant and the amount ofany guarantee provided under their lease. Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit qualityfinancial institutions.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance date is the carrying amount of the Group's financial assets.

Details of assets that have been impaired can be found in the trade and other receivables note.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Typically the Groupensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including theservicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably bepredicted, such as natural disasters.

Prudent liquidity risk management involves monitoring the forecast cash flow position, maintaining sufficient cash, theavailability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities (subject to availability) and the ability toclose-out market positions.

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cashflows and where possible matchingthe maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group holds a large portion of its investments in direct propertywhere there is not an immediate liquid market, however the underlying investment properties of these funds are stable(with a high occupancy rate and a weighted average lease term by income greater than the debt facility term) andtherefore management expects that sufficient cash flows will continue to be generated and available to meet cash outflowliabilities arising from the day to day operations of the Group.

Maturities of financial liabilitiesThe tables below analyse the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining term atthe reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscountedcash flows. For variable debt the cash flows have been estimated using forward interest rates applicable at the balancedate.

(d) Fair value estimation

The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group approximate their carrying value.

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods used comprise thefollowing inputs:• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets;

• Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly or indirectly; or

• Level 3 - inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The classification of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are summarised below.

CMCS 28 Group - as at 30 June 2012 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3$'000 $'000 $'000

LiabilitiesDerivatives used for hedging - - -Total liabilities - - -

LiabilitiesDerivatives used for hedging - 2,573 -Total liabilities - 2,573 -

The Group's derivative financial instruments were not traded in active markets, hence they are considered to include Level2 inputs. Fair values are estimated using valuation techniques, including use of recent arm's length market transactions,reference to current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same or discounted cash flow techniques.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements during the current or previousfinancial year.

(e) Hedge accounting

The following table indicates the hedge effectiveness of CMCS 28 Group cash flow hedges.

The interest rate swap contract held by CMCS 28 Group was terminated on 24 January 2012.

Hedge reserve – cash flow hedges

The hedge reserve is used to record gains or losses on a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge that are recogniseddirectly in equity. Amounts are recognised in the Income statement when the associated hedged transaction affects profitand loss.

Management has cancelled the hedge designation effective 1 January 2010 as hedge accounting was no longerconsidered to be beneficial to the Group.

All movement in the mark to market derivatives since 1 January 2010 have been recognised directly in profit or loss.Amounts previously recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve which remained in the reserve until the original hedgedtransaction affected profit or loss have now been fully reclassified to profit or loss, upon the termination of interest rateswap contracts.

19 Capital risk managementManagement's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it cancontinue to provide returns for unitholders and benefits for other stakeholders and, wherever possible, to maintain anoptimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of distributions paid to unitholders,return capital to unitholders, issue new units (subject to investor approval) or sell assets.

Consistent with other direct retail property schemes in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearingratio.

The gearing ratio has been calculated in accordance with ASIC RG 46 (issued on 2 September 2008) which is calculatedusing the following formula:

Gearing Ratio = Total interest bearing liabilities (excluding equity notes) ÷ Total assets

Total interest bearing liabilities excludes equity notes which are deemed payable to certain unitholders at the end of thesyndicate term, or may be converted into ordinary units (under certain circumstances).

The gearing ratio at 30 June 2012 and 2011 were as follows:
