Responsible Entity of Gunns Plantations Walnut Project No.2 (“the Project”),

present their report together with the financial report of the Project, for the year

ended 30 June 2011 and the auditor’s report thereon.

Gunns Plantations Ltd was the Responsible Entity from the commencement of the Project on 26 April 2007 to 2 June 2011. AGW Funds Management Ltd was appointed Responsible Entity of the Project on 3 June 2011. The registered office and principal place of business of the current Responsible Entity and the Project is 349 Forth Road, Forth, in Tasmania.

The directors and officers of each of the Responsible Entity’s at any time during or since the end of the financial year are:

Gunns Plantations Ltd (resigned 3 June 2011) Paul D Teisseire - Chairman (appointed 3 June 2010 – resigned 3 June 2011) Leslie R Baker (appointed 21 February 2000 - resigned 13 August 2010) Rodney J Loone (appointed 21 February 2000 – resigned 3 June 2011) Patrick J Sullivan (appointed 21 February 2000 - resigned 9 August 2010) Robert H Graham (appointed 4 April 2008 – resigned 3 June 2011) Robin T Gray (appointed 24 February 2009 – resigned 3 February 2011) David J Lindh (appointed 4 February 2011 – resigned 3 June 2011

Although Messrs Teisseire, Loone, Graham, and Lindh were still directors of Gunns Plantations Ltd as at the date of this report, it is noted that Gunns Plantations Ltd resigned from the role of Responsible Entity on 3 June 2011.

AGW Funds Management Ltd Roderick J Roberts – Chairman (appointed 3 June 2011) Dr Simon J L Stone (appointed 3 June 2011) Ernest H Eves (appointed 3 June 2011)

2 Gunns Plantation Limited Walnut Project No. 2

Operations undertaken during the year ended 30 June 2011 encompassed orchard rental and walnut lot maintenance. The net profit for the period was $nil. (2010: $nil)

Distributions payable by the Responsible Entity in respect of the financial year were a final distribution of $1,303,177 (2010:$120,578)

As disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report, Gunns Limited, the parent entity of the then Responsible Entity, Gunns Plantations Ltd, signalled its intention to divest itself of its walnut orchards and related assets in NSW. The sales process resulted in Gunns Limited and Gunns Plantations Ltd entering into agreements with Webster Limited and Walnuts Australia Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Webster Limited) for the sale of the walnuts orchards and related assets, and a facilitation deed for the transfer of the Responsible Entity. In accordance with the deed Webster Limited nominated AGW Funds Management Ltd as a suitable replacement Responsible Entity and on 2 June 2011 a meeting of growers was held to vote on a resolution to change the Responsible Entity. The resolution was passed by the required majority. The change in Responsible Entity has not affected the rights of or agreements with growers, nor have there been any changes to fees payable by growers.

In the opinion of the Responsible Entity, and to the best of the Responsible Entity’s knowledge and understanding, other than discussed in this report there were no further significant changes in the state of affairs of the Project that occurred during the financial period under review.

There are no likely developments in the operations of the Project other than the maintenance and tending of orchards until harvest.

The Project’s operations are subject to environmental regulations under Commonwealth, State and Local government regulations. Compliance with environmental regulations is monitored by management through internal control systems. The directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any significant breaches during the period covered by this report.

No matters or circumstances have arisen since 30 June 2011 that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect the operations of the results of the operation s of the Project in future financial years.

The number of interests in the Project held at the end of the financial year was 2,789 walnut lots. There were no withdrawals.

The current Responsible Entity held no walnut lots in the Project at period end. Associates of the current Responsible Entity held 3 walnut lots in the Project at year end.

The following monies were paid or payable to the Responsible Entity as project manager out of Project property during the financial year:

Gunns Plantation Limited Walnut Project No. 2 9

Walnut Project No. 2

Notes to the financial statementsGunns Plantations Walnut Project No.2 (“the Project”) is a registered managed investment scheme under the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report of the Project is for the year ended 30 June 2011.

The Project was constituted on 26 April 2007 and will terminate on 26 April 2087 unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.

(a) Statement of Compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report of the Project complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Responsible Entity on 30 September 2011.

(b) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Project’s functional currency and the functional currency of the Responsible Entity.

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied.

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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

(d) Information provided from the former Responsible Entity

AGW Funds Management Ltd was registered as Responsible Entity of the Project on 3 June 2011, and was not the Responsible Entity of the Project at any time prior to that date. Accordingly the board of AGW Funds Management Ltd did not have oversight or control over the Project’s financial reporting systems, risk management systems or internal control systems prior to 3 June 2011.

Subsequent to being appointed as Responsible Entity, AGW Funds Management Ltd reconciled the financial records provided by the former Responsible Entity to relevant supporting information. This process, together with activities undertaken by AGW Funds Management Ltd since 3 June 2011, form the basis upon which this financial report has been prepared.

10 Gunns Plantation Limited Walnut Project No. 2

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

(a) Financial instruments

The Project recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the date it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets classified as loans and receivables relate to amounts due from growers and are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses, if any. The Project derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expires. Financial liabilities relate to amounts payable to the project manager and are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate. The Project derecognises a financial liability when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

(b) Income

Income from Operating and orchard right fees are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Project Manager.

Gross Proceeds Entitlement are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when pervasive evidence exists that for the sale of harvested produce, significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer.

(c) Expenses

Expenditure pursuant to the Project’s Constitution is brought to account on an accruals basis.

(d) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Where applicable, GST is included in the revenue and expenses included in the income statement on the basis that the Responsible Entity is the party registered for GST. Receivables and payables are stated in the balance sheet with the amount of GST included. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.

(e) Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Project that is engaged in either a business segment or based on the Project’s asset classes within a particular geographical segment based on the geographical location of the assets, which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.

g) Net assets attributable to growers

The Project considers its capital to be Grower’s Funds. The Project manages its net assets attributable to Growers as capital, notwithstanding net assets attributable to Growers will be classified as liabilities.

The objective of the Project is to provide the Growers with returns in accordance with the Product Disclosure Statement (“PDS”). The Project aims to deliver this objective through delivering the requisite services in accordance with the limitations set by the PDS.

(h) Distribution and taxation

Under current legislation the Project is not subject to income tax as its taxable income (including assessable realised capital gains) is distributed in full to growers. The Project fully distributes its distributable income, calculated in accordance with the Project Constitution and applicable taxation legislation, to the growers who are presently entitled to the income under the Constitution.

Walnut Project No. 2 Notes to the financial statements

(i) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments to standard and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the Project in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2011, but have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the project to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 will become mandatory for the Project’s 30 June 2014 financial statements. Retrospective application is generally required, although there are exceptions, particularly if the entity adopts the standard for the year ended 30 June 2012 or earlier. Potential effects have not yet been determined.

AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (revised December 2009), simplifies and clarifies the intended meaning of the definition of a related party. The amendments, which will become mandatory for the Project’s 30 June 2012 financial statements, are not expected to have any impact on the financial statements.

AASB 2010-4 Annual Improvements Project (2010) and AASB 2010-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards, affect various AASBs resulting in minor changes for presentation, disclosure, recognition and measurement purposes. The amendments which become mandatory for the year ended 30 June 2012 are not expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements.

Key management personnel - remuneration

The Project does not employ personnel in its own right. However it is required to have an incorporated Responsible Entity to manage the activities of the Project and this is considered the key management personnel.

The directors of the former Responsible Entity are key management personnel of that entity and their names are PD Teisseire, LR Baker, RJ Loone, PJ Sullivan, RH Graham, RT Gray and DJ Lindh. In addition, the following specified executives of the former Responsible Entity are key management personnel of that entity:- WL Chapman and RG Wood (Company Secretaries) and I Blanden (Chief Executive Officer).

Given the number and variety of projects operated by the former Responsible Entity, the directors of the former Responsible Entity did not consider that there is any discernible connection between the level of remuneration provided to the directors and specific executives of the former Responsible Entity and the fees paid by the Project to the former Responsible Entity in accordance with the Project Constitution and Product Disclosure Statements. In addition, no compensation was paid to the directors of the former Responsible Entity directly by the Project.

The directors of the current Responsible Entity are key management personnel of that entity and their names are RJ Roberts, SL Stone and EH Eves. In addition, the following specified executives of the Responsible Entity are key management personnel of that entity:- SJ Stegmann (Company Secretary) and LF Titmus (General Manager).

Directors of the current Responsible Entity do not consider that there is any discernible connection between the level of remuneration provided to the directors and specific executives of the current Responsible Entity and the fees paid by the Project to the current Responsible Entity in accordance with the Project Constitution and Product Disclosure Statements. In addition, no compensation is paid to the directors of the Responsible Entity directly by the Project.

Key management personnel - loans

The Project has not made, guaranteed or secured, directly or indirectly, any loans to the key management personnel or their personally- related entities at any time during the reporting period.

Other transactions within the Project

From time to time, directors and specified directors or their personally- related entities may invest in the Project. These investments are in the same terms and conditions as those entered into by other Project investors.

Apart from those details disclosed in this note, no director or specified executive has entered into a contract for services with the Project since the end of the previous financial year and there were no contracts involving directors or specific executives subsisting at year end.

No matters or circumstances have arisen since 30 June 2011 that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect the operations of the results of the operations of the Project in future financial years.

Overview

The Project’s assets principally consist of financial instruments which comprise cash, cash equivalents and loans and receivables. The directors of the Responsible Entity have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Project’s risk management framework.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Project. Management has a credit policy in place and exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis. At balance sheet date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Project’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk embodies the potential for both loss and gains.

The Project has no exposure to currency risk in that it does not enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than its functional currency.

In addition, as the majority of the Project’s financial assets are non interest bearing, the Project does not have any significant exposure to interest rate risk. Derivative financial instruments are not used by the Project.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Project will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Project’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Project’s reputation.

The contractual maturity of financial liabilities (being amounts due to the project manager) in both the current and prior period is within the next 12 months.

Estimation of fair values

At 30 June 2011, the carrying amounts of loans and receivables and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost approximated their fair values.

There are no contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010.

The orchard right asset (being the right to access the walnut lot for the business of growing walnuts and entitlement to the resulting revenue from the future sale of walnuts) is leased by the Growers for the duration of the Project. The Project is under management by the Responsible Entity and commenced in 2007, with duration of approximately 25 years. Accordingly, the Project has approximately 22 years to run.

The recognition of assets on the balance sheet of a Managed Investment Scheme (of which the Project is) is an area of continuing interpretation and will be reassessed in future accounting periods having regard to developments in the relevant Accounting Standards. If recognised on balance sheet, the orchard right assets would be measured at their fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs, and be offset by a corresponding liability to the growers of the Project and the Project Manager.

AGW Fund Management is economically dependent on its parent company, Webster Limited, to assist in providing funding for its continuing administrative operations.
