Wilshire Australia Private Markets Pooled Superannuation Trust Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2015 (continued)

1 Reporting entity These financial statements cover Wilshire Australia Private Markets Pooled Superannuation Trust (the ‘PST’) as an individual entity. The PST was constituted on 28 February 2001. The PST will terminate on 27 February 2081 unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed. The Trustee of the PST is The Trust Company (Superannuation) Limited (the ‘Trustee’). The Trustee's registered office is Level 20, 357 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria. The Trustee holds RSE Licence No. L0000635 issued by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) authorising it to act as the Trustee of public offer superannuation entities including the PST. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. The PST provides an opportunity for Australian superannuation funds to invest in a diverse portfolio of private equity funds, primarily in the United States (US) and Europe. The PST aims to produce long term returns that significantly exceed those available through a widely diversified portfolio of public listed securities such as the S&P500 index and the MSCI Europe Index. 2 Basis of preparation (a) Statement of compliance The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 and Regulations in Australia. The financial statements of the PST also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The PST is a for-profit trust for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial statements are prepared on the basis of fair value measurement of assets and liabilities except where otherwise stated. The balance sheet is presented on a liquidity basis. Assets and liabilities are presented in decreasing order of liquidity and are not distinguished between current and non-current. All balances are expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months, except for investments in financial assets and net assets attributable to unitholders. The amount expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months after each reporting period cannot be reliably determined. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of the Trustee on 27 October 2015. The directors of the Trustee have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. (b) Functional and presentation currency The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the PST. Amounts disclosed within the financial statements have not been rounded. (c) Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of asset and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and any future period affected. The PST makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the financial year. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and any future period affected. Further details on the use of estimates are disclosed in note 4(d).

3 Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. (a) Financial assets (i) Classification The PST’s investments are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which is comprised of investments in limited liability partnerships. (ii) Recognition/derecognition The PST recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the date it becomes party to the contractual agreement (trade date) and recognises changes in fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities from this date. Investments are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the PST has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. (iii) Measurement Details on how the fair values of financial instruments are determined are disclosed in note 4(d). (b) Net assets attributable to unitholders The PST is governed by a Trust Deed which stipulates that it will terminate after a period of 80 years (unless terminated earlier). There are 11 classes of units issued to the unitholders and the terms of issue for each class are different. The unitholder funds are therefore classified as a financial liability. The units are not redeemable at the unitholders' option and cannot be put back to the PST at any time for cash equal to a proportionate share of the PST's net asset value. The units are measured at the fair value of total assets less the fair value of total liabilities (excluding unitholders funds) at reporting date. (c) Operational Risk Reserve Under APRA Prudential Standard SPS 114: Operational Risk Financial Requirement (ORFR), the PST is required to establish and maintain an operational risk reserve, at a minimum, of at least 0.25% of funds under management (FUM). Funds are allowed a three year transition period through to 30 June 2016 to reach the target amount. The operational risk reserve is operated in accordance with the Trustee’s capital risk management policy as disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements. The operational risk reserve may be used in certain circumstances to address operational risk events or claims against the PST arising from an operational risk event. (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand, cash at bank and short term deposits. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known cash amounts which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (e) Revenue recognition Interest income Interest income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset. Interest revenue not received at reporting date is reflected in the balance sheet as a receivable. Distributions Distributions from limited partnerships are recognised on a present entitlement basis. Movements in fair value of investments Changes in the fair value of investments are recognised as income and are determined as the difference between the fair value at year-end or consideration received (if sold during the year) and the fair value as at the prior year-end or cost (if the investment was acquired during the period). (f) Expenses All expenses, including Trustee fees, are recognised in profit or loss on an accruals basis. (g) Income tax Income tax for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted on reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation of the asset or settlement of the liability, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. The measure of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the PST expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The PST currently incurs withholding tax on investment income imposed by certain countries. Such income is recorded net of withholding tax in the statement of comprehensive income.

Wilshire Australia Private Markets Pooled Superannuation Trust Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2015 (continued)

3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (g) Income tax (continued) Current and deferred tax for the period Income tax has been provided in the current year at the rate of 15% (2014: 15%) as it is the expectation of the Trustee that the PST will be treated as a complying Pooled Superannuation Trust. (h) Distributions The PST does not distribute income to its unitholders on a year-by-year basis, only upon disposal of long term investments. In accordance with the Trust Deed, the PST distributes, as determined by the Trustee and the manager of the PST, its distributable income to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. In accordance with Clause 8.3 of the Trust Constitution, the distributable amount is determined by reference to the income of the PST and the income tax payable thereon. The distributions are recognised in profit or loss as finance costs attributable to unitholders. (i) Increase/decrease in net assets attributable to unitholders Non-distributable income is included in net assets attributable to unitholders and may consist of unrealised changes in the fair value of financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments, accrued income not yet assessable, expenses provided or accrued for which are not yet deductible, net capital losses and tax free or tax deferred income. Net capital gains on the realisation of any financial instruments (including any adjustments for tax deferred income previously taken directly to net assets attributable to unitholders) and accrued income not yet assessable will be included in the determination of distributable income in the same year in which it becomes assessable for tax. (j) Foreign currency translation Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translations at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported in the statement of comprehensive income on a net basis within net gain on financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss. (k) Receivables Receivables include such items as reduced input tax credits (RITC) and application monies receivable from unitholders. Amounts are generally received within 30 days of being recorded as receivables. (l) Payables Payables include amounts owed to limited partnerships and accrued expenses owing by the PST which are unpaid as at the end of the reporting period. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of being recorded as payables. (m) Applications and redemptions Applications received for units in the PST are recorded net of any entry fees payable prior to the issue of units in the PST.

Wilshire Australia Private Markets Pooled Superannuation Trust Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2015 (continued)

3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (n) Goods and services tax Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of amounts of goods and services tax (GST) recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as a RITC. In circumstances where GST is not recoverable, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are recoverable from, or payable to the ATO, are classified as operating cash flows. (o) New accounting standards and interpretations A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 30 June 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the PST are set out below. The PST does not plan to adopt these standards early. AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective 1 January 2018) AASB 9 addresses classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. This standard applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the recognition and measurement of the PST’s financial instruments as they are carried at fair value through profit or loss. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective 1 January 2018) The AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This standard applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. It will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The PST's main sources of income are interest, distributions and net gains on financial instruments held at fair value. All of these are outside the scope of the new revenue standard. As consequence, it is not expected that the adoption of the new revenue recognition rules will have a significant impact on the PST's accounting policies or the amounts recognised in the financial statements. There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the PST in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. (p) Segment reporting A geographical segment is identified when products or services are provided within a particular economic environment subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

Wilshire Australia Private Markets Pooled Superannuation Trust Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2015 (continued)

4 Financial risk management The PST's activities expose it to the following risks from its investments in financial instruments:   

market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk and other market price risk); credit risk; and liquidity risk.

The PST's overall risk management program, as approved by the Trustee, focuses on ensuring compliance with the Trust Deed and seeks to maximise the returns derived for the level of risk to which the PST is exposed. Financial risk management is carried out by the Investment Manager, Wilshire Global Advisors Limited. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the Trustee to ensure that there is an effective risk management control framework in place. Consistent with regulatory requirements the Trustee has the function of overseeing the establishment and maintenance of risk based systems and controls for the PST. The Trustee has developed, implemented and maintains a Risk Management Framework (RMF). The RMF identifies the Trustee’s policies and procedures, processes and controls that comprise its risk management and control systems. These systems address all material risks, financial and non-financial, likely to be faced by the PST. Annually, the Trustee is required to certify to APRA whether adequate strategies have been put in place to monitor those risks, that the Trustee has systems in place to ensure compliance with legislative and prudential requirements and that the Trustee has satisfied itself as to the compliance with the RMF. All investments present a risk of loss of capital. The maximum risk resulting from these financial instruments is determined by the fair value of the financial instruments. The Investment Manager uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods are explained below. (a) Market risk Market risk is the risk that the value of the PST's investment portfolio and investment income will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. There has been no change to the PST’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. (i) Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the net market value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. As a significant proportion of the PST's investments are denominated in foreign currencies other than the Australian dollar, the PST is exposed to currency risk. The currency risk disclosures have been prepared on the basis of the PST’s direct investments and not on a look through basis for investments held indirectly by underlying limited partnerships. Consequently the disclosure of currency risk in the note may not represent the true risk profile of the PST, where the PST has investments which also have exposure to foreign money markets. The PST does not hedge its foreign currency exposure.

4 Financial risk management (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) Foreign exchange risk sensitivity In 2015 a foreign exchange rate movement of 25% in the US dollar and 10% in the EURO against the Australian dollar is considered prudent in assessing sensitivity to foreign exchange movements. In 2014 a foreign exchange rate movement of 10% in the US dollar and 10% in the EURO against the Australian dollar was considered prudent in assessing sensitivity to foreign exchange movements. At 30 June 2015, had the Australian dollar weakened by the above currency movements against the US dollar and EURO, with all other variables being constant, the increase in net assets attributable to unitholders would amount to approximately $73 million (2014: $36 million) respectively. Had the Australian dollar strengthened by the above currency movements against the US dollar and EURO, with all other variables held constant, the decrease in net assets attributable to unitholders would amount to approximately $55 million (2014: $35 million). (ii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Given the nature of the financial instruments held by the PST, there is no significant direct interest rate risk in the PST. The majority of the PST’s financial instruments are non-interest bearing with only cash being subjected to interest rate risk. The interest rate disclosures have been prepared on the basis of the PSTs direct investment and not on a look-through basis for investments held indirectly through limited partnerships. Consequently, the disclosure of interest rate risk in this note may not represent the true interest rate risk profile of the PST where the PST has significant investments in unit trusts which also have exposure to the interest rate markets. Interest rate risk sensitivity At 30 June 2015, should interest rates have lowered by 100 basis points (2014: 100 basis points) with all other variables held constant, the decrease in net assets attributable to unitholders (and in net profit after tax) for the period would amount to approximately $99,000 (2014: $95,000). If interest rates had risen by 100 basis points (2014: 100 basis points) with all other variables held constant, the increase in net assets attributable to unitholders (and in net profit after tax) would amount to approximately $84,000 (2014: $81,000). These increases/decreases in net assets attributable to unitholders are calculated on an undiscounted basis. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2014. (iii) Other market price risk Other market risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The PST invests in foreign private equity limited partnerships. These limited partnerships are funds of funds that are ultimately exposed to unlisted investments that are not traded in an organised public market. The price risk arises from these investments as their values in the future are uncertain and the funds in which the PST may invest are limited. The investment in foreign private equity funds is presented on the balance sheet as financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss.

Wilshire Australia Private Markets Pooled Superannuation Trust Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2015 (continued)

4 Financial risk management (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) Price risk is managed by ensuring that all activities are transacted in accordance with mandates; overall investment strategy and within approved limits. The funds of funds structure of the investments aims to minimise price risk as it leads to greater diversification of investments across a range of sectors, industries and manager style. The PST does not use derivatives to manage price risk. Other market price risk sensitivity At 30 June 2015, if the market price had increased by 15% (2014: 20%) with all other variables held constant, this would have increased net assets attributable to unitholders by approximately $40 million (2014: $50 million). Conversely, if the market price had decreased by 15% (2014: 20%) with all other variables held constant, this would have decreased net assets attributable to unitholders by approximately $47 million (2014: $61 million). (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the PST. Credit risk to the PST primarily arises from deposits with financial institutions and the failure of a unitholder to meet its commitment to the PST. Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by ensuring that counterparties, together with the respective credit limits are approved and ensuring that all transactions are undertaken in accordance with Investment Management Agreements and the Trust Deed. The risk of a unitholder failing to meet its commitment to the PST is managed in that unitholders must be APRA regulated superannuation funds. The exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is low as all counterparties have a rating of A2 (as determined by Standard & Poor's) or higher. The Trustee and Investment Manager monitor the PST's credit position on a daily basis. (c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the PST will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficient funds to satisfy commitments associated with financial instruments. The PST invests in overseas private equity limited partnerships. These funds ultimately invest in unlisted investments generally for a period of several years and whose values in the future are uncertain. As a consequence, the financial instruments held by the PST are regarded as highly illiquid investments. Liquidity risk is mitigated to a certain extent by the funds of funds structure of the investments which results in funds being ultimately invested across a range of sectors, industries and manager style. In subscribing to units in the PST, unitholders agree to pay a capital commitment. Capital commitments are payable in instalment to the PST by a date specified in notices issued by the Manager. Unitholders of the PST must be regulated superannuation funds. (d) Estimation of fair value 

The PST’s financial assets and liabilities included in the balance sheet are carried at their approximate fair value. The PST measures its financial instruments at fair value, by valuation using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurement: Level 1 net market value measures are those instruments valued based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments.



Level 2 net market value measurements are those instruments valued based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using quoted: quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques for which significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.

4 Financial risk management (continued) (d) Estimation of fair value (continued) 

Level 3 net market value measurements are those instruments valued based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobserved inputs) and the unobservable inputs have significant effect on the instrument’s valuation. This category includes instruments that are value based on quoted prices for similar instruments for which significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.

The PST’s investments are in limited partnerships which are funds of funds. The investments are carried at fair value, representing either cost or a reasonable current value provided by the underlying investment manager where the manager considers such value to be appropriate. A substantial portion of the investments held by the limited partnerships in which the PST invests are valued in good faith by the General Partners of those partnerships in the absence of readily determinable market values. The limited partnerships frequently invest in companies that are closely held, either not publicly traded or traded with certain restrictions and are in various stages of development. For the majority of the PST's investments, the General Partners apply the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines in determining the fair values of their portfolios. These Guidelines set out best practice methodologies for determining the fair value of private equity investments such as: price of recent investment; earnings multiple; discounted cash flows or earnings of the underlying business; discounted cash flows from the investment and industry valuation benchmarks. The PST holds investments primarily in closely held private partnerships for which no ready market exists. The PST invests directly in limited partnerships which in turn invest in limited partnerships that fall into the following major categories: 

Buyouts - private equity partnerships that acquire the equity of a mature private business and are investing in companies with the United Kingdom (U.K.), Western & Eastern Europe and the US.



Venture - private equity partnerships that acquire the equity or equity like capital of a new or a relatively new private business and are investing in companies with the U.K., Western & Eastern Europe and the US.



Co-investments - direct investments in portfolio companies that are sourced through co-investment opportunities offered by primary funds or secondary funds.

The PST's investments are in private equity funds that are structured as closed-end, commitment-based investment funds where the PST commits a specified amount of capital upon inception of the fund (i.e. committed capital) which is then drawn down over a specified period of the fund's life. Such funds generally do not provide redemption options for investors and, subsequent to final closing, do not permit subscriptions by new or existing investors. Rather, the nature of the investments is that the distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the investment partnerships. Accordingly all of the PST's investments have been classified as within level 3 as they have unobservable inputs and are infrequently traded or not traded at all.

5 Capital risk management The Trustee is required under the conditions of its RSE License issued by APRA to maintain an approved guarantee of at least $5,000,000 at all times during the reporting period. The approved guarantee amount is a part of the Trustee’s capital risk management plan. Annually the Trustee is required to certify to APRA that the approved guarantee amount is met. The Trustee has established an operational risk reserve to provide funding for incidents where material losses may arise from an operational risk event (as opposed to investment risk) relating to the PST. The level of reserve is determined by the Trustee based on an assessment of the risks faced by the PST. The operational risk reserve policy includes an investment strategy to manage assets held in the operating risk reserve. 6 Auditors remuneration 30 June 2015 $
