Responsible Entity Maple-Brown Abbott Limited is the Responsible Entity (AFSL No. 237296). The Responsible Entity is the investment manager of the Trust. The names of the directors of the Responsible Entity are disclosed in note 6(b) to the financial statements. The registered office and principal place of business of the Responsible Entity and the Trust is Level 31, 259 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. Principal activities The Trust invests in equity markets in the Australian and Asia region, excluding Japan and in accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Constitution. The Trust did not have any employees during the year. There have been no significant changes in the nature of those activities during the year. Results of operations The Responsible Entity’s objective for the Trust is to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Index (Total Returns) over rolling four year periods. The Trust achieved a rolling four year annualised return of 10.1% p.a. (2015: 10.9% p.a.) after fees versus the relevant Benchmark return of 11.1% p.a. (2015: 8.8% p.a.). A summary of the Trust’s annual performance after fees to 30 June is set out below: Total return* S&P/ASX 300 Index (Total Returns) 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 % % % % % (8.1) 6.0 16.1 29.9 (5.4) 0.9 5.6 17.3 21.9 (7.0) * Total return is based on the movement in net asset value per unit plus distributions and is before tax and after all fees and charges.

Likely developments The Trust will continue with its principal activities as detailed earlier in this report. Events subsequent to balance date As the investments are measured at their 30 June 2016 fair values in the financial report, any change in values subsequent to the end of the reporting period is not reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or the Statement of Financial Position. However the change in the value of investments is reflected in the current unit price. No significant events have occurred since the end of the reporting period which would impact on the financial position of the Trust disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2016 or on the results and cash flows of the Trust for the year ended on that date.

The Trust was constituted on 30 November 2005 and commenced operations on 20 December 2005. The Trust will terminate 80 years (less one day) from the date of commencement or at such earlier time as provided by the Trust’s Constitution or by the law. Maple-Brown Abbott Limited is the Responsible Entity. The registered office and principal place of business of the Responsible Entity is Level 31, 259 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. This annual financial report covers the Trust as an individual entity. The Annual Financial Report was authorised for issue by the directors on 8 September 2016. The directors of the Responsible Entity have the power to amend and reissue the financial report. (a) Statement of compliance The Annual Financial Report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Trust’s Constitution (as amended) and Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The Annual Financial Report of the Trust also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. (b) Basis of preparation The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. The financial report is prepared on the basis of fair value measurement of assets and liabilities, except where otherwise stated. Changes in accounting policies The following standards were available for early adoption but have not been applied in the financial statements: o AASB 9 Financial Instruments and applicable amendments (effective from 1 January 2018) was available for early adoption but has not been applied in the financial statements. AASB 9 replaces existing guidance on classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces additions relating to the classification and measurement of financial liabilities (as part of the project to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement). It has also introduced new hedge accounting requirements and revised certain requirements for impairment of financial assets. AASB 9 becomes mandatory for the Trust’s 30 June 2019 financial statements. Retrospective application is required. The Responsible Entity has not yet determined the potential effect of the standard. 9 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (b) Basis of preparation (continued) o AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (effective from 1 January 2018) the AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The Trust’s main sources of income are interest, dividends and gains on financial instruments held at fair value. All of these are outside the scope of the new revenue standard. As a consequence, the directors do not expect the adoption of the new revenue recognition rules to have a significant impact on the Trust's accounting policies or the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in the Annual Financial Report. (c) Financial instruments Specific instruments: Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, short term deposits held at call with banks and bank bills of exchange and are valued at cost. Derivatives Derivative financial instruments are held for trading and accounted for on a fair value basis using the most recent verifiable source of market prices. Fair values are obtained using quoted market prices or determined through the use of valuation techniques. All derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. The Trust does not designate any derivatives as hedges in a hedging relationship. Other Financial instruments Financial assets Financial assets of the Trust are classified either as “fair value through profit or loss” or as “loans and receivables”. Fair value through profit or loss Financial assets which are classified as “fair value through profit or loss” are recognised or derecognised by the Responsible Entity as such at trade date. They are initially recognised at fair value, excluding transaction costs, which are expensed as incurred. Thereafter they are re-measured at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised immediately as revenue in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 10 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Financial instruments (continued) Financial assets’ fair values are determined as follows: Overseas-listed equities These securities are valued at their quoted bid price on the exchange on which such securities are traded as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. Australian-listed equities These securities are valued at their quoted bid price on the Australian Securities Exchange as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. Australian-listed equities held via unlisted unit trusts Listed equities may be held via units in unlisted unit trusts which are valued at redemption price as reported by the manager of the trust as at close of business on the day the trusts are being valued. Loans and Receivables Financial assets classified as “loans and receivables” include balances due from brokers, dividends and distributions receivable and other income receivable. These financial assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment losses if any. Loans and receivables are of a short term nature and hence their carrying value approximates fair value. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities of the Trust are either measured at “fair value through profit or loss” or at “amortised cost” using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities other than those at “fair value through profit or loss” include distributions payable, balances due to brokers, redemptions payable and sundry creditors and accruals which are carried at “amortised cost” using the effective interest method. These financial liabilities are of a short term nature and hence their carrying value approximates fair value. Financial liabilities arising from the issue of redeemable units in the Trust are carried at the redemption amount representing the unitholders’ rights to a residual interest in the Trust’s assets at reporting date which approximates fair value. Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 11 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (d) Foreign currency translation Transactions during the year denominated in foreign currency have been translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Overseas investments and currency, together with any accrued income, are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Unrealised exchange gains and losses arising on the revaluation of investments are included in investment income, as part of the net change in the fair value of investments. All other material foreign currency exchange differences relating to monetary items, including cash and cash equivalents are presented separately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. (e) Revenue and expenses Dividends are recognised as revenue on the date the shares are quoted ex-dividend. Distributions from unlisted unit trusts are recognised as at the date the unit value is quoted ex-distribution. Where a present entitlement to a distribution exists at year end, it is derived for tax purposes. Interest on cash deposits is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognised as revenue in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis. Net change in the fair value of financial instruments held at fair value through profit and loss is determined as the difference between the fair value at year end or consideration received (if sold during the year) and the fair value as at the prior year end or acquisition (if the investment was acquired during the year). Transaction costs incurred in the acquisition and disposal of assets are expensed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis. Expenses, including Responsible Entity fees, are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis. (f) Finance costs Distributions paid and payable are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as finance costs. Distributions paid are included in the Statement of Cash Flows as cash flows from operating activities. (g) Change in net assets attributable to unitholders Unrealised gains and losses arising from movements in the fair value of assets are held within net assets attributable to unitholders. The taxable and concessionally taxed portions of realised capital gains on the disposal of investments are distributed to unitholders in the period for which they are assessable for tax purposes. (h) Taxation Under current legislation the Trust is not subject to income tax as the taxable income (including net realised capital gains) is distributed in full to the unitholders in the period in which they are assessable for taxation purposes. The price of a unit is based on the fair values of underlying assets and thus may include a share of unrealised taxable capital gains/losses. Should a net gain be realised, that portion of the gain that is subject to capital gains tax in the hands of the unitholders will be included in any future distributions made by the Trust. 12 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (h) Taxation (continued) Any balance of realised capital losses is not distributed to unitholders but is carried forward to be offset against any future realised capital gains. If realised capital gains exceed realised capital losses, the excess is distributed to the unitholders. (i) Net assets attributable to unitholders In accordance with AASB 132, the units issued by the Trust give rise to a financial liability as: (j) o all units issued by the Trust provide unitholders with the right to redeem their units at the unitholders’ option. The fair value of redeemable units is measured at the redemption price that is payable at the Statement of Financial Position date. As the Trust’s redemption price is based on different valuation principles to that applied in financial reporting, a valuation difference exists, which has been treated as a separate component of net assets attributable to unitholders; o distributions of the Trust’s distributable income is mandatory as prescribed by the Constitution; and o the Trust has a fixed life of 80 years. Determination of redemption price for units in the Trust The redemption price is determined in accordance with the Constitution and is calculated as the value of the assets of the Trust less its liabilities, adjusted for estimated transaction costs, divided by the number of units on issue. (k) Goods and services tax (GST) The Responsible Entity fees and other expenses are recognised net of the amount of GST recoverable as a reduced input tax credit (RITC). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. 2 Net assets attributable to unitholders Opening balance Applications Redemptions 2016 2015 $ $ 31,917,607 29,243,705 278,297 2,127,099 - Change in net assets attributable to unitholders (3,815,350) Closing balance 28,380,554 546,803 31,917,607 The Responsible Entity considers net assets attributable to unitholders as capital. This capital is invested in accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Constitution. The Responsible Entity may make additional investments in the case of net applications, or realise investments in the case of net redemptions, depending on the desired level of liquidity in the Trust. Under the Trust's Constitution, the Responsible Entity may suspend applications or redemptions if it is considered to be in the best interests of unitholders. 13 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 3 Other expenses 2016 2015 $ $ Total audit expense* 4,820 4,508 Bank charges & other expenses 1,688 397 Total other expenses 6,508 4,905 2016 2015 $ $ 15,273 14,965 * The total audit fee paid by the Trust is partly subsidised by the Responsible Entity. 4 Auditor’s remuneration Audit services – KPMG*: Audit of the Annual Financial Report * Represents the agreed fees (net of RITC) for the audit of the Annual Financial Report and Compliance plan. 5 Distributions paid and payable 2016 2015 $ per $ per $ unit $ unit Distribution paid – September quarter 518,984 0.0180 410,648 0.0144 Distribution paid – December quarter 333,135 0.0115 401,034 0.0140 Distribution paid – March quarter Distribution payable – June quarter Total 66,698 0.0023 215,711 0.0075 273,777 0.0095 218,842 0.0076 1,192,594 0.0413 1,246,235 0.0435 Unrealised capital gains/(losses) and realised capital losses carried forward 2016 2015 $ $ 73,376 2,314,714 Balances at 30 June Net unrealised capital gains for tax Net realised capital losses for tax (59,595) (733,547) Unrealised capital gains and realised capital losses carried forward have been calculated in accordance with the relevant tax legislation and have not been reported in the financial statements, refer note 1(h). 14 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 6 Related parties (a) Responsible Entity and Key Management Personnel Maple-Brown Abbott Limited (ABN 73 001 208 564) is the Responsible Entity of the Trust.

The Responsible Entity seeks to minimise the Trust’s financial risks through a variety of activities, including diversification of the investment portfolio and the selection of liquid investments in accordance with the specific investment policies and restrictions set out in the Product Disclosure Statement. The key element in the Trust’s investment philosophy is to seek to buy investments that offer relatively good long term value. The investment philosophy can also be described as contrarian and conservative, which helps to minimise its finance risks described above. The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding at the balance date and the risk management policies employed by the Trust are discussed below together with the specific investment objectives and policies applicable to the Trust. (a) Market risk Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will change as a result of exposure to market price changes, interest rate changes and currency movements. Price risk The Trust’s market price risk is managed on a daily basis in accordance with the following specific investment policies and restrictions: Investment policies The Responsible Entity will invest at least 70% of the portfolio in Australian-listed equity securities of companies and may invest up to a maximum of 20% in Asian-listed equities. Investment restrictions The main guideline in relation to portfolio composition is that individual stock weightings will be limited to 5% of the total portfolio. Also, there is a limit of the total portfolio up to 10% that applies to stocks of any one country outside Australia and up to 5% of the market value of the Trust may be invested in the Maple-Brown Abbott Small Companies Trust. 18 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 8 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) Market exposures As at 30 June the market exposures were as follows: 2016 2015 $ $ Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Overseas-listed equities 5,259,867 5,787,374 Australian-listed equities 21,348,222 23,857,830 1,159,770 942,955 27,767,859 30,588,159 Australian-listed equities held via unlisted unit trust Total Carrying amounts versus fair values The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying amounts in the Statement of Financial Position.

The fair value hierarchy is comprised of the following levels: o Level 1 – fair values measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments; o Level 2 – fair values measured using directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1; and o Level 3 – fair values measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) 19 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 8 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) At 30 June the financial instruments carried at fair value split by valuation method is summarised below: 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $ $ $ $ Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Overseas-listed equities 5,259,867 Australian-listed equities 21,348,222 1,159,770 27,767,859 Overseas-listed equities 5,787,374 Australian-listed equities 23,857,830 942,955 30,588,159 - Australian-listed equities held via unlisted unit trust Total - - 5,259,867 - - 21,348,222 - - 1,159,770 - - 27,767,859 - - 5,787,374 - - 23,857,830 - - 942,955 - 30,588,159 2015 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Australian-listed equities held via unlisted unit trust Total Transfers between levels The Trust’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. There were also no changes made to any of the valuation techniques applied as of 30 June 2016. There have been no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy at the end of 30 June 2016.

On the 2 February 2015 Chaoda Modern Agriculture relisted on the Hong Kong exchange and was sold on the same day for $54,239. 20 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 8 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) Fair value measurement Fair value in an active market (level 1) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on bid prices at the end of the reporting period without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. For the majority of financial assets and liabilities, information provided by the quoted market independent pricing services is relied upon for valuation. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. An active market is a market in which transactions for the financial asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The investments in unlisted trusts included as level 1 in the above table relate to investments in registered managed investment schemes managed by the Responsible Entity. Further details of these investments are disclosed in Note 6(b). These investments are valued at their quoted redemption price at balance date in accordance with Note 1(c). Fair value in an inactive or unquoted market (level 2 and 3) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for debt securities held. The Trust may use a variety of valuation methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Valuation techniques used for non-standardised financial instruments, such as over-the-counter derivatives, include the use of comparable arm's length transactions, reference to the current fair value of a substantially similar other instrument or any other valuation technique that is commonly used by market participants which maximises the use of market inputs and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. For other pricing models, inputs are based on market data at the end of the reporting period. The output of a model is always an estimate or approximation of a value that cannot be determined with certainty, and valuation techniques employed may not fully reflect all factors relevant to the positions held. Valuations are therefore adjusted, where appropriate, to allow for additional factors including liquidity risk and counterparty risk. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) The Trust did not hold any financial instruments with fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs during the year ended 30 June 2016. For the year ended 30 June 2015 the level 3 holding related to the Trust’s shareholding in Chaoda Modern Agriculture. On 27 September 2011 Chaoda was suspended from trading on the Hong Kong Exchange. The Responsible Entity, on the 5 August 2014, determined that the carrying value of Chaoda Modern Agriculture was to be written down to zero as the short term prospects of resolution were significantly impaired. On the 2 February 2015 Chaoda Modern Agriculture relisted on the Hong Kong exchange and was sold on the same day for HKD 60.19c per share totalling $54,239. 21 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 8 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) Financial instruments not measured at fair value The carrying value less impairment provision of other receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. Interest rate risk The majority of the Trust's financial assets and liabilities are non-interest bearing. As a result, the Trust is not subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on interest bearing financial assets and liabilities. Any excess cash and cash equivalents are invested at short term market interest rates. The Responsible Entity monitors the overall exposure to cash and consequently interest rate sensitivity on a daily basis. At 30 June the Trust’s exposure to interest rate risk is set out below: Floating interest Fixed interest rate rate Total $ $ $ Cash and cash equivalents 646,517 - 646,517 Total 646,517 - 646,517 Cash and cash equivalents 1,336,381 - 1,336,381 Total 1,336,381 - 1,336,381 2016 2015 Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates for financial instruments denominated in currencies other than the functional currency (AUD) of the Trust. The Trust holds investments in a number of countries. If the currencies of those countries change in value relative to the base currency (AUD Dollar), the value of the financial instruments will change and this is reflected in the fair value of the investments on the Statement of Financial Position. The Investment Manager does not consider currency levels when determining country exposure; however currency forecasts are taken into account when making investments at the stock level. The risks in relation to country exposure are set out above under price risks. The Investment Manager’s normal position with regard to foreign exchange exposure is to remain unhedged. 22 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 8 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) The table below shows the currency exposure of the Trust’s financial assets. The Trust has no material exposure to net monetary financial assets designated in foreign currency. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis has been disclosed. The exposure to movements in the fair value of the investments (which includes foreign currency exposure) is included in the price sensitivity analysis.

Liquidity risk is minimised through the Trust maintaining sufficient cash and selecting liquid investments traded on a recognised reputable stock exchange and holding investments in unlisted unit trusts which hold investments traded on a recognised reputable stock exchange.

(c) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that the Trust may incur a loss if other parties fail to perform their obligations under the financial instruments which comprise the Trust’s investment portfolio. Any non-equity investments generally incorporate credit assessments in investment valuations and the risk of loss is implicitly provided for in the determination of the fair value of such investments. The Trust also has a credit risk exposure in relation to its undertaking transactions with counterparties such as brokers, banks and other financial intermediaries. The Trust minimises concentrations of credit risk by transacting through a number of brokers all of whom operate on recognised and reputable exchanges. The credit risk exposure to any one counterparty is low. Total credit risk for the Trust arising from recognised financial instruments is limited to the value of the Trust’s investments and receivables shown in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash and cash equivalents are held with banks with a rating of BBB+ or higher (as determined by Standard & Poor’s). (d) Operational risk Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss to the Trust associated with the Responsible Entity’s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external forces (other than credit, market and liquidity risks) such as those arising from changes to legal and regulatory requirements. The objective of the Responsible Entity in managing operational risk is to mitigate as much as possible the risk of financial losses and damage to reputation, commensurate with overall cost effectiveness. The Responsible Entity is responsible for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk. This responsibility is supported by the development of an overall control framework implemented to manage operational risk, key aspects of which include: o appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorisation of transactions; o cash and securities positions are completely and accurately recorded and reconciled to third party data; o monitoring the performance of external service providers, including financial information received from them; o documentation of controls and procedures; o periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy of controls and procedures to address the risks identified; o reporting of operational losses and proposed remedial action, with appropriate follow-up; o assessment and mitigation of cyber risks and development of contingency business continuity, including disaster recovery, plans; o training and professional development; o ethical and business standards; and o risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective. 24 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 9 Interests in unconsolidated structured entities At 30 June the unconsolidated structured entities held by the Trust is set out below: Asset class Statement of Financial Position reference 2016 Exposure Fair value % $ Australian equities Australian-listed equities held via unlisted unit trust 100 1,159,770 Australian equities Australian-listed equities held via unlisted unit trust 100 942,955 2015 The fair value represents the maximum exposure to loss for each unconsolidated structured entity. The fair value of the exposure will change daily and in subsequent periods will cease once the investments are disposed of. The investment manager of each unconsolidated structured entity is responsible for implementing and monitoring the entity’s investment objective and strategy. The investment decisions are based on the analysis conducted by the underlying investment manager. The return of the Trust is exposed to the variability of the performance of the underlying structured entity. 10 Events subsequent to balance date As the investments are measured at their 30 June 2016 fair values in the financial report, any change in values subsequent to the end of the reporting period is not reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or the Statement of Financial Position. However the change in the value of investments is reflected in the current unit price. No significant events have occurred since the end of the reporting period which would impact on the financial position of the Trust disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2016 or on the results and cash flows of the Trust for the year ended on that date. 25
