Results for announcement to the Market

As a result of unitholder approval granted at the extraordinary general meeting on 23 March 2016 for the proposed sale of the Japanese property portfolio and the subsequent distribution of net equity proceeds to unitholders and the winding up of the Trust, it has been determined that, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate and the financial statements have therefore been prepared on a liquidation basis. Under the liquidation basis of preparation all assets and liabilities are measured at net realisable value. In addition, the equity of the Trust has been reclassified from equity to liabilities on 23 March 2016, being the approval date.

Explanation and discussion of the above results Galileo Japan Trust Appendix 4E 30 June 2016

A$1 =¥95.55), partially offset by additional costs recorded as a result of the proposed winding up of the Trust as discussed above.
