secure passive income to the <strong>Group</strong>, with key areas of<br />
focus including:<br />

sales and new development product;<br />
— remaining strategically overweight in the office sector; and<br />
— focusing on prime sub-regional shopping centres located<br />
in growth markets.<br />
hotel Management<br />
The <strong>Group</strong> completed the sale of its hotel Management<br />
business to Accor on 22 May <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

a suite of four core brands comprising Sea Temple<br />

and Citigate (four star hotels).<br />
For the period up to settlement (22 May <strong>2012</strong>), the business<br />
unit achieved a statutory profit before tax of $15.5m and<br />
an operating profit before tax of $17.2m.<br />
investment Management<br />
MIM comprises two business activities for segment reporting<br />
purposes: third party, listed and unlisted funds management;<br />
and property asset management.<br />
For the year ended 30 June <strong>2012</strong>, MIM recorded a statutory<br />
loss before tax of $9.0m and an operating loss before tax<br />
of $6.7m.<br />
At 30 June <strong>2012</strong>, MIM remained responsible for the<br />
management of four wholesale funds: <strong>Mirvac</strong> wholesale<br />
Residential Development Partnership; Travelodge <strong>Group</strong>;<br />
JF Infrastructure yield Fund; and, Australian Sustainable<br />
Forestry Investors. MIM also managed the ASX listed<br />
<strong>Mirvac</strong> Industrial Trust and two unlisted residential<br />
development funds.<br />
MIM continued to rationalise activities considered non-core<br />
to <strong>Mirvac</strong>’s strategy as demonstrated by the exit from<br />
the following:<br />
— 25.0 per cent interest in the <strong>Mirvac</strong> City Regeneration<br />
Partnership;<br />
— investment in the RedZed residential mortgage warehouse; and<br />
— roles as investment manager and responsible entity for:<br />
— New Zealand Sustainable Forestry Investors; and<br />
— <strong>Mirvac</strong> wholesale hotel Fund (as part of the <strong>Group</strong>’s exit<br />
from its hotel management business).<br />
MAM provides asset management services for the Investment<br />
Division’s portfolio. MAM currently manages 78 properties<br />
principally located in metropolitan locations on the east coast<br />
of Australia.<br />
outlook<br />
MIM will continue to seek to exit its responsible entity,<br />
trustee and investment manager responsibilities as the<br />
opportunities arise. MAM will seek to continue to expand<br />
its asset management services in accordance with growth<br />
in the Investment Division’s portfolio.<br />
