SECTION 5<br />

FINANCIAL INFORMATION<br />

124<br />

Post-IPO Shareholders should be aware that as a consequence of the method by which the Group is<br />

endeavouring to provide a minimum level of after tax earnings for the last quarter of the 2004 year as set out<br />

above, in the circumstances where the actual after tax earnings of the Group during that period exceed that<br />

minimum, a portion of that excess will be paid to the pre-IPO owners in accordance with the formula above.<br />

At or about the time of the release of its statutory financial results for the period to 31 December 2004, Babcock<br />

& Brown will also release the pro-forma statement of financial performance for the restructured Group for the<br />

year ending 31 December 2004 which is used to determine the pro-forma net profit before tax referred to in<br />

item a(ii) of the above formula.<br />

The cash balance in the pro-forma statement of financial position as at 31 December 2003 is net of the pre-IPO<br />

distribution of approximately $128 million to the pre-IPO owners.This distribution was sized to allow every<br />

Executive Stakeholder to meet its liability for tax arising from the Restructure.This distribution plus the<br />

$60 million payment referred to above will, in part, be met from the Executive Stakeholder loan repayments<br />

referred to in Section 8.3.3 and may, to the extent that the cash balance has been invested since the balance date,<br />

be met from the IPO proceeds.<br />

5.4 AUSTRALIAN IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION<br />

5.4.1 Adoption of International Accounting Standards<br />

For reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005, Babcock & Brown will be required to comply with<br />

Australian equivalent International Financial Reporting Standards (Australian IFRS) as issued by the Australian<br />

Accounting Standards Board (AASB).<br />

The financial information presented in this document that is referred to as being presented on an Australian IFRS<br />

basis reflects the series of standards adopted by the AASB in July 2004.<br />

To provide an indication of the impact of Australian IFRS on the performance and position of the Group, the<br />

Group has prepared a pro-forma statement of financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2003,<br />

pro-forma forecasts of financial performance for the years ending 31 December 2004 and 2005 and a pro-forma<br />

statement of financial position as at 31 December 2003 under Australian IFRS on a basis otherwise consistent<br />

with the equivalent AGAAP Financial Information in Section 5.3.This information is presented below with a<br />

summary of some of the key differences between AGAAP and Australian IFRS set out in Section 5.4.4. Detailed<br />

reconciliations between the historical financial information prepared under AGAAP and under Australian IFRS<br />

are set out in notes 5 and 6 of Appendix A.<br />

As outlined in note (a) in Section 5.4.4, the accounting for the Restructure under Australian IFRS is significantly<br />

different than under AGAAP.<br />

Investors are advised to review the Australian IFRS pro-forma Forecasts in conjunction with the description of<br />

the basis of preparation of the AGAAP pro-forma Forecasts set out in Section 5.3.2.<br />

The Australian IFRS pro-forma Forecast set out in Section 5.4.2 has been presented before:<br />

• The Australian IFRS accounting implications for the Restructure<br />

• Income tax in relation to 2004<br />

• Outside equity interest relating to interests of the pre-IPO US Executive Stakeholders held directly in<br />

BBIPL under the new structure in relation to 2004<br />

• Currency gains, losses or costs<br />

but after the:<br />

• Offer Proceeds net of IPO and capital raising costs of $523 million<br />

• Transaction costs associated with the Restructure that, for Australian IFRS accounting purposes, are required<br />

to be expensed rather than offset against the proceeds of the capital raising<br />

Babcock & Brown will present actual results for 2005 under Australian IFRS. Comparative Australian IFRS<br />

information will also be presented with the actual results for 2005.
