Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) reported its financial results for
the six months ended 31 December 2018 today. Total comprehensive income after tax of
$25.5 million compares with $17.7 million for the same period last year, with the difference
mainly attributable to the prior period fair value movement of 10 Brandon Street in Wellington
and movement in financial instruments this period. Net operating income, which adjusts for a
number of non-cash items, of $37.7 million remains consistent with the previous comparable
period (1H18: $38.2 million), despite the sale of a 50% interest in the ANZ Centre.
Scott Pritchard, Precinct’s CEO, said “The first half of the 2019 financial year has been another
period of immense activity for our business. As we continue to advance our long-term strategy
and take an active management approach with both our investment and development
portfolio’s, we remain focused on delivering strong results across our business this year”.
“We are achieving continued growth for our shareholders and enhancing our business by
transforming the portfolio into a higher quality set of assets. Achieving occupancy of 100%
across our investment portfolio in both Auckland and Wellington reflects the quality of the
portfolio, leasing transactions completed during the last six months and strong demand for
premium inner-city office space”.
“We continue to advance our active developments and are pleased with the achievements
in the period which include the progress made on the retail and office commitments at
Commercial Bay and completing the Charles Ferguson Building in Wellington. As the
development stages of these projects are coming to an end, we are looking ahead to our
recently committed developments of both One Queen Street and Wynyard Quarter Stage
Two”.
“Precinct’s announcement to raise $150 million of equity through an underwritten Placement
and Retail Offer will allow Precinct to repay bank debt and further supports our future
development opportunities by providing additional funding capacity”.
Interim results
Continued strength in our occupier markets, strong leasing and ongoing market rental growth
have contributed to NPI in the period of $47.3 million (1H18: $47.6 million).
The completion of H&M at Commercial Bay and the Charles Fergusson Building in Wellington
led to an increase in NPI in the period. This increase was largely offset by the sale of a 50%

interest in the ANZ Centre and the sale of 10 Brandon Street. After adjusting for assets under
development and the sales, like for like NPI was 1. 0% higher than the previous comparable
period. On a like for like basis, Auckland NPI was 1.8% higher.
Dividends attributable to shareholders for the six months ending 31 December 2018 totalled
3.00 cps (31 December 2017: 2.90 cps) representing an increase of 3.4%.
Net interest expense of $1.5 million was consistent to the comparable period (31 December
2017: $1.6 million) due to interest relating to developments being capitalised.
Excluding performance fees, other expenses increased by $0.5 million. Precinct outperformed
the benchmark New Zealand-listed property sector return (excluding Precinct) resulting in a
performance fee of $2.1 million being payable in the first half.
Current tax expense fell to $0.4 million (31 December 2017: $2.7 million). This was a result of the
significant amount of leasing achieved across the development portfolio and the disposal of
depreciable assets.
The fall in the NZD interest rate swap curve led to a fair value loss in interest rate swaps. This
loss combined with a fair value loss in the convertible note option due to Precinct’s share price
increasing to $1.48 (June 2018: $1.35), led to an overall loss in financial instruments of $11.4
million (31 December 2017: $6.9 million loss).
Generator recorded a loss for the period, Precinct’s 50% share was $0.8 million (31 December
2017: $0.5 million). This loss was primarily a result of continued business growth, with the business
opening around 3,000 square metres of additional coworking space at Britomart Place in the
period. Importantly the business continues to meet expectations and is expected to report a
profit in the 2020 financial year.
Included within the Commercial Bay construction contract is the right to liquidated damages
if certain milestones are not met. As at 31 December 2018, $15.4 million of liquidated damages
have been withheld from the contractor. The amounts withheld have been recognised as
part of current liabilities and a contingent asset has been identified as ultimate recovery is not
able to be considered virtually certain since Precinct's right to retain these liquidated
damages could be disputed.
An internal review of the 30 June 2018 property valuations undertaken at 31 December 2018
indicated no material value movement in the period for all the assets. The fair value loss in

financial instruments was the primary reason for the value of net tangible assets per share at
interim balance date falling to $1.39 (30 June 2018: $1.40).
Investment portfolio performance
Strong leasing continues across our investment portfolio with overall portfolio occupancy
increasing to 100% at 31 December 2018 (30 June 2018: 99%) and WALT being maintained at
8.5 years (30 June 2018: 8.7 years).
With over 12,000 square metres of space leased over the last 6 months to 31 December 2018,
positive leasing momentum continues in both Auckland and Wellington. These leasing
transactions have been completed 11.3% above previous contract rent. In addition, 32 rent
reviews have occurred during the period resulting in a 4. 5% uplift on valuation rents.
Leasing all the remaining vacant space at AON Centre at 21% above previous passing rental
has been a significant achievement in first half of the 2019 financial year. The Medical Council
of New Zealand have committed to 1,875 square metres which includes 800 square metres of
new mezzanine space that is now being fitted out for occupation in May 2019.
Terms agreed with a large NZ based occupier at No.1 The Terrace over 7,900 square metres is
another positive result. It will remove all pending vacancy from the Government WAP 2
process. Once confirmed, the lease will commence in January 2020 following a full base build
refurbishment of No.1 The Terrace tower floors and includes a seismic upgrade to 100%.
Generator acquisition
Announcing Precinct’s acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Generator New Zealand
Limited today, is consistent with our strategic focus on building client relationships, increasing
our service levels and creating workspaces that meet the requirements of today’s businesses.
Having exposure to this developing market since 2017 has given us the opportunity to be at
the forefront of this evolving office market. With an expanded footprint providing
approximately 1,245 desks across 12,600 square metres, Generator has seen strong and
consistent growth since it was established in 2011. Committed occupancy levels are around
80% and the business is now operating on a sustainable basis. Successfully growing its business,
Generator now has a significant presence in the CBD and Wynyard precincts, making up over
half of the Auckland city centre coworking/flexible market.

A 100% interest in Generator represents a unique offering for Precinct to meet the growth in
demand for those office occupiers now considering flexible solutions. It further expands
Precinct’s traditional client base by accessing a portion of the occupier market that we
wouldn’t otherwise serve; small and medium-sized enterprises. As this sector moves ahead in
2019, this is an area of investment for Precinct where we expect to see further consistent
growth and returns.
Capital management
In October 2018, we successfully settled the sale of a 50% interest in the ANZ Centre in
Auckland for $181 million, to a fund controlled by Invesco. This sale was in line with our business
strategy and enabled us to recycle capital into higher yielding development opportunities. In
addition, we also progressed the sale of 10 Brandon Street in Wellington which has now
settled. These two sales total $191 million of assets sold in the first half of the 2019 financial year.
In the period, Precinct also refinanced its $4 60 million bank debt facility which was due to
expire in November 2020. The refinance extended the tenor of the existing facilities and
reduced refinancing risk to our business.
At balance date Precinct has total borrowings (including convertible notes) of $710.4 million
(30 June 2018: $751.4 million) and total assets of $2.5 billion (30 June 2018: $2.5 billion). Gearing
as measured under borrower covenants, which disregards subordinated debt, has decreased
during the period to 24.3% (30 June 2018: 25.0%).
Development update
Wynyard Quarter
Committing to the development of Wynyard Quarter Stage Two during the period reflects an
important step forward in the development of the wider Innovation Precinct and the next
stage of the project’s evolution. We announced the development of the second stage of
Wynyard, 10 Madden Street, in November 2018 on an uncommitted basis and were pleased
to lease 4,760 square metres to Media Design School (MDS). Being in a location which is in
close proximity to global technology companies and other New Zealand start-up businesses
was a key attraction for MDS to be located in the Innovation Precinct.

Commercial Bay
Continued demand at Commercial Bay has resulted in retail commitments lifting to 84% and
office commitments to 80%. With leasing transactions being consistent with feasibility, the
expected profit on completion of this project remains forecast to be around $280 million,
representing a development profit of more than 40%.
Progress continues on site with minor slippage of around one month observed to the
construction programme which may impact the previously disclosed completion dates of
September 2019 for the retail centre and December 2019 for the new PwC Tower. We will
continue to closely monitor this development with the next two months being critical in
progressing the project. Following some minor value accretive scope changes, the total
project cost is now forecast to be $690 million (30 June 2018: $685 million).
Having a diverse offering available to consumers at the precinct has been a key priority
throughout the project. During the period, we are pleased to have welcomed New Zealand’s
leading digital services provider, Spark to Commercial Bay. Spark will open its three-level
flagship store within the precinct and will be located on Customs Street and Little Queen
Street. Spark will use this premium location to redefine the experience of visiting a Spark store
providing its customers with a unique offering.
We also continue to advance our unique retail mix at Commercial Bay with several well-
known food and beverage operators who remain confidential at this stage. We look forward
to sharing more details in the coming weeks.
One Queen Street
Construction of the $298 million redevelopment at One Queen Street (currently HSBC House)
remains on schedule to commence in the first half of 2020 with the hotel expected to open in
mid 2022. Similarly, the commercial office and hospitality space are due to open during 2022.
Securing leading law firm Bell Gully during the period, three years ahead of practical
completion reinforces the quality of the Commercial Bay precinct and demand for premium
office space located at this unrivalled waterfront destination in Auckland’s city centre.
The project is now 76% pre-committed following the previously announced commitment by
InterContinental Hotels Group to 11 levels of the building.

Bowen Campus
In Wellington, we are pleased to have now completed the Charles Ferguson Building.
Construction works remain on programme at the Bowen State Building. We also continue to
advance the design of Bowen Campus Stage Two having been granted a resource consent
in the period for a further two commercial office buildings on site. We continue to progress
discussions with a number of potential occupiers.
Equity Offer
We are announcing today that we are raising $150 million of new equity via a Placement and
Retail Offer.
The Placement of $130 million is fully underwritten at a floor price of $1.45 per new share. A
bookbuild will be conducted today by the Joint Lead Managers, First NZ Capital and Credit
Suisse while Precinct is in trading halt. All New Zealand resident shareholders will be able to
subscribe for up to $50,000 of new shares via a Retail Offer of $20 million (underwritten) with
the ability to accept oversubscriptions of up to $10 million, at the same final price as the
placement (to be determined by bookbuild today).
The net proceeds of the equity raising, together with the proceeds of asset sales will reduce
Precinct’s gearing providing additional funding capacity to assist with our future
development opportunities.
Our equity raising structure is fair for all of our existing shareholders. All shareholders (unless
restricted due to legal constraints) will be able to participate fairly (through either the
Placement or Retail Share Offer) and should scaling be required, it will be done in reference
to existing shareholder holdings.
Haumi, our largest shareholder (~18.8%) will not be participating. Haumi remains very
supportive of Precinct, the growth story and this equity raising and has no intentions to either
sell down or divest the management contract. Following completion of the equity issue
Haumi’s holding will reduce to around 17.3%.

Retail Offer Allotment date 11 March 2019
Dividend (second Quarter) Payment Date 27 March 2019
Dividend payment
Precinct shareholders will receive a second-quarter dividend of 1.50 cps (plus imputation
credits). Offshore investors will receive an additional supplementary dividend to offset non-
resident withholding tax (see note 2). The record date is 13 March 2019 with payment to be
made on 27 March 2019.
All shares issued pursuant to the equity offer will qualify for this dividend.
Outlook and guidance
As we continue on our growth path in 2019 to maximise our value potential and transform the
cities and communities we operate in, widening our investment into other city centre real
estate to include retail, hotels and coworking/flexible space, is offering greater opportunity
for Precinct to increase shareholder value.
We believe our well performing investment portfolio, the acquisition of the remaining 50%
interest in Generator and our active development pipeline all support Precinct’s strong
market position and we remain well positioned to deliver on our long-term strategy.
Full year operating earnings after tax for the 2019 financial year are expected to be
approximately 6.60 cps, before performance fees. Dividend guidance also remains
unchanged at 6.00 cps, representing a 3.4% increase in dividends to shareholders.

Note 1
Net operating income is an alternative performance measure which adjusts net profit after tax for a number of non-
cash items as detailed in the reconciliation below. Precinct’s Dividend Policy is based upon net operating income. This
alternative performance measure is provided to assist investors in assessing Precinct’s performance for the year.
Reconciliation of net operating income
Amounts in millions 2019 2018
Net profit after taxation 24.6 17.7
Unrealised net (gain) / loss in value of investment and development properties - 14.7
Unrealised net (gain) / loss on financial instruments 12.6 6.9
Net realised (gain) / loss on sale of investment properties 1.9 -
Depreciation recovered on sale 10.7 -
Deferred tax (benefit) / expense (12.9) (1.6)
Share of (profit) / loss of joint ventures 0.8 0.5
Net operating income 37.7 38.2
Note 2
A supplementary dividend is paid to non-resident shareholders to offset the amount of non-resident withholding tax
(“NRWT”) that New Zealand companies are required to deduct from dividends paid to non-resident shareholders. A
supplementary dividend is paid to ensure equitable treatment between non-resident shareholders and resident
shareholders (whose dividends are not subject to NRWT).
There’s no disadvantage to Precinct or our shareholders, and non-resident shareholders don’t get a larger cash
dividend than an equivalent New Zealand resident shareholder.

Transaction rationale
■Building on the success of Precincts 2020 vision to date, Precinct sees further
opportunity to progress its $300+ million internal development pipeline:
–Wynyard Quarter Stages Three & Four
–Bowen Campus Stage Two
■Consistent with previous guidance, project targets will include:
–Yield on cost of +7.0%
–Targeted profit of 15%
–Project commitment anticipated in 6 to 12 months’ time
–Risk mitigation through pre-committed leasing and prudent builder selection
■A $150 million equity issue will reduce committed gearing to 32% positioning the
business to fund these projects
■Precinct expects to meet the balance of its project funding requirements
through a combination of asset sales and utilisation of its significant debt
headroom post the equity raise

Equity Raising Structure
■Structured to be fair for all of our existing shareholders. All shareholders (unless
restricted due to legal constraints) will be able to participate fairly (through either
the Placement or Retail Share Offer) and should scaling be required, it will be
done in reference to existing shareholder holdings
■This structure of offer provides Precinct greater execution certainty and reduced
transaction costs vs a rights offer
■Haumi, our largest shareholder (~18.8%) will not be participating. Following the
$150 million offer, Haumi’s holding would reduce to around 17.3%.
–Haumi remains very supportive of Precinct, the growth story and this equity
raising and has no intentions to either sell down or divest the management
contract

Notes to the financial statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2018
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
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 three 100% owned subsidiaries and its joint
venture (the Group). Precinct's investment in the joint venture, 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.
Precinct has elected to include additional comparative periods to assist users of the financial
statements.
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 2018.
From 1 July 2018 Precinct has adopted NZ IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and NZ IFRS 15 - Revenue from
Contracts with Customers which are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2018.
NZ IFRS 9 requires Precinct to present in other comprehensive income the fair value gains and losses
attributable to changes in Precinct's own credit risk for financial liabilities designated and measured
at fair value through profit or loss. Comparatives have not been restated in accordance with the
transition requirements. The credit risk adjustment presented in other comprehensive income for the
period ended 31 December 2018 was $0.9 million (after tax).
NZ IFRS 9 requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model to determine impairment
provisioning on trade receivables. Precinct has concluded that the impact of the expected credit
loss model is not material for the interim financial statements.
NZ IFRS 15 is based on the principal that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service
transfers to a customer. This standard is not applicable to rental income which makes up the majority
of Precinct's revenue, however it does apply to operating expense recovery income. Precinct has
separately identified the significant performance obligations and revenue streams within gross
property income from rentals and gross property income from expense recoveries. Precinct has
determined that the impact of this standard is not material, hence, no cumulative opening balance
adjustment is required for the interim financial statements.
08
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the six months ended 31 December 2018
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Precinct has chosen not to early adopt the following standards that have been issued but are not yet
effective:
NZ IFRS 16 - Leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
Lessor reporting
Precinct has assesed the impact of this standard on the group and no significant changes for
reporting as a lessor (i.e. the owner of buildings) compared with existing accounting policies will
occur.
Lessee reporting
Whilst the majority of Precinct's buildings are freehold, Precinct is a lessee under an occupational
ground lease in relation to the basement walkway at AON Centre. NZ IFRS 16 requires lessee's to
recognise a 'right-of-use' asset representing the fair value of the occupational ground lease and a
lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments for the occupational ground lease.
Precinct has assessed the financial impact of this change and it is not expected to be material. There
will be no change to the cash flows recognised as a result of the adoption of the new standard.
Precinct has elected to apply a modified retrospective method in adopting NZ IFRS 16.
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).
4. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In preparing Precinct’s interim financial statements, management continually make judgements,
estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future
events that may have an impact on Precinct.
All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most
current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the
judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management.
The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these interim
financial statements are in relation to:
i. Investment and development properties
ii. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
iii. Cross currency interest rate swaps and USPP notes
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial
statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements.

Precinct has committed funding of $1,182.9 million (June 2018: $1,182.9 million) including the NZ senior
secured bonds, 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 future cash flows have been fully
swapped back to New Zealand dollars.
13
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Accounting policy - interest bearing liabilities
Bank loans and the NZ senior secured bonds are recognised initially at fair value less any
attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are stated at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. 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.
The convertible note embedded financial derivative is recognised at fair value with any gains or
losses recognised in the profit or loss as they arise. This fair value is determined using the black-
scholes model with observable inputs such as Precinct's share price and it's historic standard
deviation, the convertible note strike price and the risk free rate. The movement in fair value
attributable to changes in Precinct's own credit risk is calculated by determining the changes in
credit spreads above observable market interest rates and is recognised in other comprehensive
income. This measurement falls into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the six months ended 31 December 2018
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
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.
12. 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, deferred tax and share of profit or loss of joint
ventures.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
13. Capital commitments
Precinct has $361.4 million of capital commitments as at 31 December 2018 (June 2018: $233.6 million;
December 2017: $303.8 million) relating to construction contracts.
14. Contingencies
a) Contingent liabilities
There are no contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2018 (June 2018: $nil; December 2017: $nil).
b) Contingent assets
Included within the Fletcher Construction Company Limited (FCC) construction contract for
Commercial Bay is the right to liquidated damages if certain milestones are not met. To date Precinct
has withheld $15.4 million from payments to FCC for liquidated damages. The amounts withheld have
been recognised as part of current liabilities (refer note 9) as ultimate recovery is not able to be
considered virtually certain due to the fact that Precinct's right to retain these liquidated damages
could be disputed by FCC.
Additional future costs expected to be incurred by Precinct due to delays in Commercial Bay are
expected to be covered by liquidated damages.
There are no other significant contingencies as at 31 December 2018 (June 2018: $nil; December
2017: $nil).

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the six months ended 31 December 2018
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
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 2018 there is a notional performance fee deficit of $1,965,171 to be carried forward to
the calculation of performance fees in future quarters (June 2018: $918,083 deficit; December 2017:
$1,113,039 deficit).
These fees are expensed through indirect other expenses in the year in which they arise.
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

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.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Ernst & Young provides other assurance services to the group including the statutory audit of the
group's year-end financial statements and audit of individual property operating expense statements.
We provide an agreed upon procedures engagement recalculating the performance fee paid or
payable to the group's manager. We also provide reporting to the trustee of the group's secured
fixed rate bonds and convertible notes 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. 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 02 to 17, do not present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the group as at 31 December 2018 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 18 February 2019 and our findings are expressed as at that date.
