1. Distributable income is a key financial measure used by management to assess the performance of CFX. Distributable income equals profit excluding: net gains on revaluations of investment properties, associates and derivatives; the effect of straight-lining fixed rental increases; the movement in fair-value of unrealised performance fees; non-cash convertible notes interest expense; adjustments for convertible notes buy-back expense; and adjustments for project and other items.

2. Excluding the capital distribution of 0.2 cents per unit, or $5.7m, reinvested in CFS Retail Property Trust 2, as approved by investors on 28 May 2012. This distribution enabled the initial capitalisation of CFX2.

3. Excluding flowback.4. Adjusted for changes in ownership of properties in either of the 12-month periods, excluding development impacted centres and significant

one-off Queensland land tax refunds.

• Demand continues from international casual and luxury retailers in larger centres

• Mid-level apparel retailers continue to experience difficulty, particularly in smaller centres

• Discretionary categories such as food catering, and new technology e.g. mobile phones and tablet devices are keeping demand strong

CFX outcomes

• Despite challenges, healthy leasing deal rate and occupancy maintained

• Achieved a 3.0% increase on retail specialty store re-leasing (renewals and replacements) with standard 5% fixed annual increases

• Actively replacing underperforming retailers
