Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) reported its financial results for

the six months ended 31 December 2017 today, with net operating income, which adjusts for

a number of non-cash items, of $38.2 million or 3.15 cents per share (cps), consistent with the

previous comparable period (2017: $38.8 million or 3.20 cps). Net profit after tax (NPAT) of

$17.7 million compares with $39.1 million for the same period last year, with the difference

mainly attributable to the fair value movement of 10 Brandon Street in Wellington and

movement in financial instruments this period.

Scott Pritchard, Precinct’s CEO, said “It has been an active six-month period. We have

continued to focus on our long-term strategy as city centre specialists and have achieved

strong rental growth across our investment portfolio”.

“We have advanced our developments with construction progressed at Commercial Bay in

Auckland and Bowen Campus in Wellington. Bowen Campus continues to track well with the

project benefitting from further office leasing while remaining on budget and on programme.

Commercial Bay has also progressed with retail leasing advancing to 60% and office pre-

leasing maintained at 66%. Enquiry levels for both retail and office remain elevated and the

company is buoyed by the interest from potential occupiers in this development.

The recent completion of Wynyard Quarter Stage One and high occupancy levels across our

portfolio have both contributed positively to our increased revenues, with our Wellington

corporate assets achieving particularly strong growth during the period.

As projects advanced during the year we reduced our risk profile, and continued to diversify

our funding sources which remains a core component of Precinct's capital management

strategy,” he said.

During the period, Precinct further improved its capital structure through a number of capital

management initiatives including a successful convertible notes offer and bond issue, totalling

$250 million.

Interim results

The completion of Wynyard Quarter Stage One, higher occupancy levels and improved

rental growth have contributed to an increase in net property income by 3.7% to $47.6 million

(31 December 2016: $45.9 million).

After adjusting for Wynyard Quarter Stage One, foregone income associated with

development projects and 10 Brandon Street, like for like income was 3.1% higher than the

previous comparable period. The Auckland portfolio saw an increase of 2.5% while in

Wellington the corporate assets saw NPI increase by an impressive 12.4%. This was due to

occupancy increasing by around 10%.

The fall in the New Zealand interest rate swap curve during the period was the primary reason

for the fair value loss in financial instruments of $6.9 million. This loss compared with a $15.3

million gain for the same period last year.

Current tax expense increased by $2.1 million to $2.7 million. This was a result of a higher level

of deductibles in the prior period due to the disposal of depreciable assets at Bowen Campus

in October 2016.

An internal review of the 30 June 2017 property valuations undertaken at 31 December 2017

indicated no material value movement in the period for all the assets apart from 10 Brandon

Street in Wellington.

With a number of options for 10 Brandon Street having been assessed to date, we have now

completed our options analysis and tested the market for the asset to be sold. Following an

independent valuation at 31 December 2017, a further valuation write down of $14.7 million

to $7.0 million (30 June 2017: $20.2 million) has occurred at this property. Whilst not imminent,

the most likely option for this asset is for it to be strengthened and repositioned.

The value of net tangible assets per share at interim balance date was $1.23 (30 June 2017:

$1.24). Further financial information can be found within the 2018 Interim Report. You can find

Investment portfolio performance

Leasing progress has continued over the last six months with overall portfolio occupancy

remaining in excess of 99% (30 June 2017: 100%) and WALT increased to 8.8 years (30 June

2017: 8.7 years).

In addition, 57 rent reviews were settled over the 6 months to 31 December 2017, resulting in

a 4.1% increase on valuation rents at 30 June 2017. Market rent reviews across the investment

portfolio provided a 3.0% uplift.

With good levels of leasing enquiry in both Auckland and Wellington, we expect to reduce

the remaining vacant office space in the portfolio and to see further organic growth

achieved.

Precinct’s 50% owned co-working space provider, Generator successfully launched its new

innovation focused co-working space at GridAKL in Wynyard Quarter. Occupancy is sitting

well ahead of expectations and contributing to the emerging vibrancy of the new

commercial precinct. Generator now manages 12,000 square metres across three locations.

Generator House at 11 Britomart Place, Takutai Square will be the newest site to join

Generator’s co-working offering. Located across three upper levels, this new executive space

will be available for occupation from May 2018.

Capital management

In September 2017, we successfully raised $150 million of four-year, fixed-rate subordinated

convertible notes. Precinct considers this to be a capital management solution which is well

suited to its current strategy and opportunities. It is a flexible funding option that gives Precinct

the capital available to match development commitments while ensuring that earnings are

not diluted in the short term.

Also in the period, Precinct issued a $100 million senior secured seven year bonds with the

proceeds used to repay bank debt. Both issues have further strengthened Precinct’s capital

management position.

At balance date Precinct has total borrowings (including convertible notes) of $600.4 million

(30 June 2017: $452.1 million) and total assets of $2.2 billion (30 June 2017: $2.1 billion). Gearing

as measured under borrower covenants, which disregards subordinated debt, has

consequently decreased during the period to 23.0% (30 June 2017: 25.1%).

Consistent with Precinct’s capital recycling strategy and ongoing capital management, we

are seeking to progress the sale of a 50% interest of ANZ Centre in Auckland. Real estate

agency firm Colliers International has been appointed to market the asset for sale.

Development update

Commercial Bay

As strong retail leasing progress has been achieved over the last six months, we have also

achieved a pleasing level of success with securing the key retailers who will define our unique

retail mix at Commercial Bay. This includes renowned food and beverage operators Mimi

Gilmour, Al Brown and Josh Emett who will each have a concept in Commercial Bay

alongside legendary New York restaurant Saxon + Parole, as well as a number of leading local

and international fashion retailers who remain confidential at this stage.

In August 2017, Harbour Eats, the communal dining offer at Commercial Bay was also

launched. Located on level 2, the 700-seat eatery is designed by one of the world’s leading

hospitality design firms, New York-based, AvroKO and will offer a food destination unlike

anywhere else in the world.

In the period we were also excited to share a taste of Commercial Bay with the release of a

tower lobby fly-through and a 360 degree retail experience.

As outlined at the full year FY17 results, Precinct received independent advice that the

completion of the retail centre will likely be delayed beyond its contracted date of November

2018, potentially to late Q1 2019. Our contractor has recently advised that their programmed

date for retail completion is December 2018. Our updated independent advice remains that

the contractor’s December 2018 programme date is unlikely to be achieved. With

construction still at an early stage we continue to closely monitor progress on site.

The contractor’s programme date for the completion of the office tower remains mid 2019

(July). Independent programme advice has also been sought for the office tower. This advice

shows that there is some risk to achieving the programme completion date, but that this will

depend on the rate of façade installation, a workstream which has just commenced and will

be closely monitored. Precinct notes that these reviews are independent of the contractor

and have been sought by Precinct so that we can inform lessees of likely occupation dates.

Precinct remains comfortable with the provisions of its construction contract and the

provisions which protect Precinct from losses due to contractor delay.

Precinct continues to forecast a profit on cost of over $200 million and a yield on cost of 7.5%.

Bowen Campus

Construction works remain on programme and on budget with 100% of the office space at

Bowen Campus pre-committed.

During the period, the lease to the New Zealand Defence Force at Bowen State was

extended to 18 years. The WALT across Bowen Campus has increased to almost 17.0 years (30

June 2017: 15.0 years).

The previously announced lease to the Crown across the top four floors totalling 4,700 square

metres at Bowen State building also became unconditional during the period.

Dividend payment

Precinct shareholders will receive a second-quarter dividend of 1.45 cents per share plus

imputation credits of 0.0936 cents per share. Offshore investors will receive an additional

supplementary dividend of 0.042494 cents per share to offset non-resident withholding tax.

The record date is 12 March 2018 with payment to be made on 23 March 2018.

Outlook and guidance

Precinct has a clear strategy of city centre specialisation which is expected to provide long

term outperformance. We remain comfortable with our earnings pathway into the future.

With supportive capital markets and both occupier and investment markets remaining strong,

Precinct is well positioned to advance our city centre strategy and increase shareholder value

in 2018 and beyond.

Full year operating earnings after tax for the 2018 financial year are expected to be

approximately 6.30 cents per share, before performance fees. Dividend guidance also

remains unchanged at 5.80 cents per share, representing a 3.6% increase in dividends to

shareholders.

RESULTS OVERVIEW

It has been an active six-month period since

Net operating income

INTERIM RESULTS

Precinct has delivered another good operating

performance for the first half of its 2018 financial

year.

Net operating income, which adjusts for a

number of non-cash items, was $38.2 million or

3.15 cents per share (cps), and was consistent

with the previous comparable period

(31 December 2016: $38.8 million).

A further valuation write down at 10 Brandon

Street in Wellington, movement in financial

instruments and a higher current tax expense this

period contributed to net profit after tax of

$17.7 million for the six months ended

31 December 2017 (31 December 2016:

$39.1 million).

Dividends attributable to shareholders for the six

months ending 31 December 2017 totalled 2.90

cps (31 December 2016: 2.80 cps) representing

an increase of 3.6%.

The completion of Wynyard Quarter Stage One,

higher occupancy levels and improved rental

growth have contributed to an increase in net

property income by 3.7% to $47.6 million

(31 December 2016: $45.9 million).

After adjusting for Wynyard Quarter Stage One,

foregone income associated with development

projects and 10 Brandon Street, like for like

income was 3.1% higher than the previous

comparable period. The Auckland portfolio saw

an increase of 2.5% while in Wellington the

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Leasing progress has continued over the last six

months with overall portfolio occupancy

remaining in excess of 99% (30 June 2017: 100%)

and WALT increased to 8.8 years (30 June 2017:

8.7 years).

In addition, 57 rent reviews were settled over the

6 months to 31 December 2017, resulting in a

4.1% increase on valuation rents at 30 June 2017.

Market rent reviews across the investment

portfolio provided a 3.0% uplift.

With good levels of leasing enquiry in both

Auckland and Wellington, we expect to reduce

the remaining vacant office space in the

portfolio and to see further organic growth

achieved.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS

Commercial Bay

As strong retail leasing progress has been

achieved over the last six months, we have also

achieved a pleasing level of success with

securing the key retailers who will define our

unique retail mix at Commercial Bay. This

includes renowned food and beverage

operators Mimi Gilmour, Al Brown and Josh Emett

who will each have a concept in Commercial

Bay alongside legendary New York restaurant

Saxon + Parole, as well as a number of leading

local and international fashion retailers who

remain confidential at this stage.

In August 2017, Harbour Eats, the communal

dining offer at Commercial Bay was also

launched. Located on level 2, the 700-seat

eatery is designed by one of the world’s leading

hospitality design firms, New York-based, AvroKO

and will offer a food destination unlike anywhere

else in the world.

In the period we were also excited to share a

taste of Commercial Bay with the release of a

tower lobby fly-through and a 360 degree retail

experience. These can be viewed at

www.commercialbay.co.nz.

As outlined at the full year FY17 results, Precinct

received independent advice that the

completion of the retail centre will likely be

delayed beyond its contracted date of

November 2018, potentially to late Q1 2019. Our

contractor has recently advised that their

programmed date for retail completion is

December 2018. Our updated independent

advice remains that the contractor’s December

2018 programme date is unlikely to be achieved.

With construction still at an early stage we

continue to closely monitor progress on site.

The contractor’s programme date for

completion of the office tower remains mid 2019

(July).

ARTISTS IMPRESSION OF HARBOUR EATS

CHAIRMAN'S AND CEO'S REPORT

Independent programme advice has also been

sought for the office tower. This advice shows

that there is some risk to achieving the

programme completion date, but that this will

depend on the rate of façade installation, a

workstream which has just commenced and will

be closely monitored. Precinct notes that these

reviews are independent of the contractor and

have been sought by Precinct so that we can

inform lessees of likely occupation dates.

Precinct remains comfortable with the provisions

of its construction contract and the provisions

which protect Precinct from losses due to

contractor delay.

Precinct continues to forecast a profit on cost of

over $200 million and a yield on cost of 7.5%.

Bowen Campus

Construction works remain on programme and

on budget with 100% of the office space at

Bowen Campus pre-committed.

During the period, the lease to the New Zealand

Defence Force at Bowen State was extended to

18 years. The WALT across Bowen Campus has

increased to almost 17.0 years (June 2017: 15.0

years).

The previously announced lease to the Crown

across the top four floors totalling 4,700 square

metres at Bowen State building also became

unconditional during the period.

FUTURE OPPORTUNITES

Wynyard Quarter Stage Two

Following on from the successful completion of

Wynyard Quarter Stage One, we are continuing

to advance Stage Two, being one of the

remaining three sites available for future

development. Negotiations are taking place with

occupiers for Stage Two and we remain on

target to commit to developing another 8,000

square metre office building.

1 Queen Street

As a second stage of the Commercial Bay

project, we are continuing to assess our

development options at 1 Queen Street. We

have identified the most feasible option to be a

mixed use development, comprising hotel with

office above. Negotiations are on-going with a

preferred hotel operator and we believe this

offering will further support the Commercial Bay

retail precinct, particularly food and beverage.

Bowen balance land

The remaining development land at Bowen

Campus is currently being designed to

accommodate up to 20,000 square metres of

commercial office space. This space is

considered suitable for both Crown and

corporate occupiers. The existing 3,800 square

metre Annex building is currently being

demolised to allow for future development.

CHAIRMAN'S AND CEO'S REPORT

MARKET UPDATE

The overall Auckland CBD office vacancy rate

was recorded at 5.9% or approximately 86,100

square metres of vacant space as at December

2017, a slight uplift compared to the 5.7% or

81,700 square metres reported by Colliers

International as at June 2017. The Prime CBD

office vacancy rate also increased over the past

six months to 4.3% or approximately 26,200

square metres of vacant space (June 2017:

3.8%).

Consistent with recent market trends, the current

low prime grade vacancy rate remains driven by

elevated demand from commercial occupiers.

Taking into consideration the limited supply

pipeline with no new prime grade building

expected to be completed prior to the new PwC

Tower at Commercial Bay in 2019, prime

vacancy rates are not forecast to significantly

increase in the short term.

The Wellington CBD office market has in recent

months experienced a flurry of activity with many

commercial occupiers forced to quickly relocate

to alternative premises due to their buildings

being withdrawn temporarily and in some cases

permanently, from the market following the

November 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. According

to the latest Colliers International research the

overall Wellington CBD office vacancy rate

further decreased from 7.8% or 107,500 square

metres in June 2017 to 7.4% or 103,400 square

metres as at December 2017 (December 2016:

10.5% or 154,500 square metres).

The increased demand for seismically strong

buildings have accordingly resulted in the prime

vacancy rate falling throughout the post-quake

months, with the latest survey results sourced

from Colliers indicating the prime vacancy rate

in Wellington is at a historic low of 0.1% or 283

square metres as at December 2017 (June 2017:

0.1% and December 2016: 2.0%). Looking ahead,

whilst a significant increase in prime inventory is

forecast from 2018 onwards, the prime vacancy

rate in Wellington is anticipated to remain

subdued over the short term due to strong

occupier demand and high levels of pre-

commitment across the Wellington

Accommodation Project (WAP 2) assets and

other projects such as 20 Customhouse Quay

and PwC Centre.

OUTLOOK

Precinct has a clear strategy of city centre

specialisation which is expected to provide long

term outperformance. We remain comfortable

with our earnings pathway into the future.

With supportive capital markets and both

occupier and investment markets remaining

strong, Precinct is well positioned to advance our

city centre strategy and increase shareholder

value in 2018 and beyond.

Full year operating earnings after tax for the 2018

financial year are expected to be approximately

6.30 cents per share, before performance fees.

Dividend guidance also remains unchanged at

5.80 cents per share, representing a 3.6%

increase in dividends to shareholders.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended 31 December 2017

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) is incorporated in New Zealand and is registered

under the New Zealand Companies Act 1993.

Precinct is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

These interim financial statements are those of Precinct, its two 100% owned subsidiaries and its joint

venture (the Group). Precinct's investment in Generator New Zealand Limited is accounted for using

the equity method.

The Group's principal activity is investment in predominantly prime CBD properties in New Zealand.

Precinct is managed by AMP Haumi Management Limited (the manager).

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 Interim

Financial Reporting.

The financial statements have been prepared:

• On a historical basis except for financial instruments, US private placement notes, investment and

development properties which are measured at fair value.

• Using the New Zealand Dollar functional and reporting currency.

• On a GST exclusive basis, except for receivables and payables that are stated inclusive of GST.

All financial information has been presented in millions, unless otherwise stated.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and

related notes included in Precinct's Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2017.

Precinct has elected to include additional comparative periods to assist users of the financial

statements.

3. FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION

Precinct classifies its fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance

of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or

liability, either directly (by price) or indirectly (derived from prices).

• Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable

inputs).

bond, convertible note and US private placement.

All lenders have the benefit of security over certain assets of the Group. The Group has given a

negative pledge which provides that it will not permit any security interest in favour of a party other

than the lenders to exist over more than 15% of the value of its properties.

To substantially remove currency risk, US private placement proceeds have been fully swapped back

to New Zealand dollars.

Accounting Policy

Interest bearing liabilities

The US private placement is recognised at fair value including translation to NZD with any gains or

losses recognised in the profit or loss as they arise. This fair value is determined using swap models

and present value techniques with observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-currency

curves. This measurement falls into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accounting Policy

Derivative financial instruments

Precinct uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate and cross currency swaps) to manage

its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks arising from operational, financing and

investment activities.

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently re-measured

and carried at fair value. They are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and liabilities

when the fair value is negative. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised

directly in profit or loss.

The fair value is the estimated amount that Precinct would receive or pay to terminate the swap

at the balance date, taking into account current rates and creditworthiness of the swap

counterparties. This is determined using swap models and present value techniques with

observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-currency curves. The fair value of derivatives fall

into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

11. RECONCILIATION OF NET PROFIT AFTER TAX TO NET OPERATING INCOME

Net operating income is net profit after tax, before revaluations on investment and development

properties, revaluations of derivative financial instruments, realised gain or loss on sale of investment

property, tax on disposal of depreciable assets and deferred tax.

2.7(0.1)

a) Base management services fee

The base management services fee structure is as follows:

• 0.55% of the value of the investment properties to the extent that the value of the investment

properties is less than or equal to $1 billion; plus

• 0.45% of the value of the investment properties to the extent that the value of the investment

properties is between $1 billion and $1.5 billion; plus

• 0.35% of the value of the investment properties to the extent that the value of the investment

properties exceeds $1.5 billion.

These fees are expensed through indirect other expenses in the year in which they arise.

b) Performance fee

The performance fee is based on Precinct's quarterly adjusted equity total returns relative to its peers

in the NZ listed property sector as measured by the NZX listed property index. The performance fee is

calculated as 10% of Precinct's quarterly performance in excess of a benchmark index, subject to an

outperformance cap of 1.25% per quarter and after taking into account any brought forward

surpluses or deficits from prior quarters.

Any Initial Amount credited to the Carrying Account which is not used up in paying Performance Fees

or in offsetting subsequent Deficits will effectively expire 2 years after it is credited to the Carrying

Account. Similarly, any Deficit debited against the Carrying Account which is not used up in off-setting

subsequent Initial Amounts will also effectively expire 2 years after it is debited against the Carrying

Account.

No performance fee is payable in quarters where equity total returns are negative. As at

31 December 2017 there is a notional performance fee deficit of $1,113,039 to be carried forward to

the calculation of performance fees in future quarters (June 2017: $11,388,088 deficit; December 2016:

$10,777,024 deficit).

These fees are expensed through indirect other expenses in the year in which they arise.

25
c) Leasing fees

Precinct pays the Manager leasing fees where the manager has negotiated leases instead of or

alongside a real estate agent.

Leasing fees are capitalised to the respective investment or development property in the Statement

of Financial Position and amortised over the term certain life of the lease.

d) Development manager fees

Precinct pays development manager fees where the manager acts as development manager on

Precinct developments.

These fees are capitalised to the respective investment or development property in the Statement of

Financial Position.

e) Acquisition and disposal fees

Precinct pays fees to the manager for managing the sale or purchase of properties instead of or

alongside a real estate agent.

Acquisition fees are capitalised to the respective investment or development property in the

Statement of Financial Position.

Disposal fees are expensed through net realised gain or loss on sale of investement properties in the

year in which they arise.

f) Property and facilities management fee

Precinct pays a property and facilities management fee on a cost recovery basis to the manager.

These fees are expensed through direct operating expenses in the year in which they arise.

g) Other transactions with the manager

Precinct does not employ personnel in its own right. Under the terms of the Management Services

Agreement, the manager is appointed to manage and administer Precinct. The manager is

responsible for the remuneration of personnel providing management services to Precinct. Precinct's

Directors are considered to be the key management personnel and received Directors' fees for the

period ended 31 December 2017 of $222,860 (June 2017: $443,813; December 2016: $220,000).

Precinct received rental income from AMP Haumi Management Limited, AMP Capital Investors (New

Zealand) Limited, National Mutual Life Association of Australasia Ltd and AMP Services (NZ) Limited,

being the Manager or companies related to the Manager for premises leased in PWC Tower, AMP

Centre and 157 Lambton Quay. Total rent received by Precinct from these parties during the period

ended 31 December 2017 was $1,342,995 (June 2017: $3,223,101 December 2016 $1,532,479). As at

31 December 2017 an amount of $213 (June 2017: $208; December 2016: $1,548) was owing to

Precinct from these related parties.

h) Related party debts

No related party debts have been written off or forgiven during the year (June 2017: $nil; December

2016: $nil).

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

REVIEW REPORT

27
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW

ZEALAND LIMITED

We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited ("the

company") and its subsidiaries (together "the group") on pages 13 to 25, which comprise the

statement of financial position of the group as at 31 December 2017, and the statement of

comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows of the group for

the six month period ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other

explanatory information.

This report is made solely to the company's shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken

so that we might state to the company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them

in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept

or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's shareholders as a

body, for our review work, for this report, or for our findings.

Directors' Responsibilities

The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial statements

which comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial

Reporting

and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the

preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Reviewer's Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410

Review of Financial Statements Performed

by the Independent Auditor of the Entity

. NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has

come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are

not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting

. As the auditor of the group, NZ SRE 2410 requires

that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.

Basis of Statement

A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance

engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review

procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit

conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we

do not express an audit opinion on those financial statements.

Ernst & Young provides other assurance services to the group including the statutory audit of the

group's year-end financial statements and provides limited assurance opinions in respect of individual

property expenses. We provide an agreed upon procedures engagement recalculating the

performance fee paid to the group's manager. We also provide reporting to the trustee of the group's

secured fixed rate bonds in relation to our audit. Other than the provision of those services and in our

capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interest in, the company or any of its subsidiaries.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

INTERIM REPORT 2018

Partners and employees of our firm may deal with the group on normal terms within the ordinary

course of trading activities of the business of the group.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the

accompanying interim financial statements, set out on pages 13 to 25, do not present fairly, in all

material respects, the financial position of the group as at 31 December 2017 and its financial

performance and cash flows for the six month period ended on that date in accordance with New

Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting

.

Our review was completed on 27 February 2018 and our findings are expressed as at that date.

Auckland CBD office market

OccupierDemand

According to Colliers research, total Auckland CBD

vacancy has not exceeded 6.0% since the middle of 2015.

The recent rise to 5.9% stems from vacancy arising in both

Viaduct Harbourand Victoria Quarter. Premium grade

vacancy remains low at 1.8%.

Supply

With premium vacancy rates remaining low, evidence of

over-occupancy driven by lack of available space, and

minimal supply in the market, the 60,000 sqm of new supply

due to be completed over the next two years is expected

to be comfortably absorbed by the market.

OccupierDemand

With the loss of nearly 100,000sqm of office space,

vacancy has hit record lows, indicating continued strong

demand for office space.

Supply

The completion of several new buildings has done little to

meet the demand, with most of the developments being

near 100% pre-committed, resulting in an undersupply of

CBD office space.
