1 Executive Summary
The purpose of this report is to:
+ Provide an update since my last report dated 18 November 2010 on the status of:
- The liquidation of WML in its own right; and
- The winding up of trusts and managed investment schemes for which WML is either the trustee or responsible entity.
+ Provide details of the liquidators’ fees incurred since the last meeting of WML’s creditors and details of the liquidators’ future fees.
A summary of the status of WML and each of its trusts and managed investment schemes is as follows:
Entity Section Status WML 3 WML has a net asset shortfall of approximately $46 million and there is
unlikely to be a return to WML’s creditors. WIF 5.1 Lanepoint was placed in liquidation which decision was stayed by the WA
Supreme Court on appeal. The ASIC subsequently appealed successfully to the High Court of Australia. I am seeking to conclude the matters in dispute with the liquidator of Lanepoint.
PCS 5.2 All matters pertaining to the claims by CRST were settled. The finalisation of the taxation returns for the PCS is the only matter outstanding.
PAT 5.3 I continue to await the outcome of the ING receivership. Murray Street Trust 5.4 I continue to await the outcome of the ING receivership. Market Street Trust 5.5 I continue to wait for the Perpetual receivership to be completed.
I am convening a meeting of WML’s creditors to be held at 12.00 pm on 30 August 2011 at Level 17, 37 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA to:
+ Provide creditors with an update on the progress and conduct of the liquidation; and
+ Seek approval of the Liquidators’ fees of $130,908 plus GST for the period 13 November 2010 to 29 July 2011 and future fees in the sum of $267,500 plus GST. These fees relate to the various entities which WML is trustee and responsible entity of, and will be payable from the assets of the relevant trusts and managed investment schemes to the extent that those assets are sufficient. Full details of the Liquidators’ fees are included in section 6 and Appendices 1 and 2.

2 Introduction
The purpose of this report is to:
+ Provide an update since my last report dated 18 November 2010 on the status of:
- The liquidation of WML in its own right; and
- The winding up of trusts and managed investment schemes for which WML is either the trustee or responsible entity;
+ Provide details of the liquidators’ fees incurred since the last meeting of WML’s creditors.
+ Provide details of the liquidator’s estimated future fees to complete the winding up of WML and the various entities WML is either trustee or the responsible entity of.

3 WML’s financial position
Table 1 summarises WML’s estimated financial position at 29 July 2011, which indicates a deficiency of approximately $46 million.
1
My comments on WML’s estimated financial position since my last report to creditors are as follows:
+ I have not realised any further debtors during the liquidation.
+ As advised previously, WML’s term deposit was subject to a Deed of Set-off in favour of St George Bank which secured funds advanced to other Westpoint Group entities. St George Bank has applied the funds from the term deposit against their debt. We are seeking to claim rights of subrogation against the debtor whose debt the deposit was applied against.
+ Other assets comprise an apartment owned by WML which was also subject to the security in favour of St George. I have been advised that the Receivers and Managers appointed by St George Bank have retired but will not release the security on the apartment until they receive a release from Mr Norm Carey. In the meantime, the apartment is in the possession of the Receiver and Manager.
The realisable value of WML’s assets is unlikely to cover the cost of the liquidation; therefore, there is unlikely to be a return to WML’s creditors.
My ongoing role for WML is to:
+ Attend to all statutory lodgements;
+ Complete the winding up of each of the trusts and MISs; and
+ Sell the apartment after the security held by the St George Bank has been released.

The Liquidators’ fees which relate to the various entities of which WML is trustee or responsible entity will be payable from the assets of the relevant trusts and managed investment schemes, to the extent that those assets are sufficient. Some of the trusts may not have sufficient assets to pay the Liquidators’ fees. Accordingly, those fees will be payable by WML.
4.2 Liquidators’ disbursements
Liquidators’ disbursements incurred, but not yet paid, to date are $23,608 [Table 4].
4.3 Legal fees
To date, legal fees of $279,958 have been paid, including fees paid by the litigation funder in the CFAL litigation matter.

5 Summary of trusts and MISs
WML is trustee or responsible entity of the following trusts and managed investment schemes:
+ Westpoint Income Fund
+ Paragon Commercial Syndicate
+ Paragon Apartments Trust
+ 297 Murray Street Trust
+ 60 Market Street Trust
A summary of the status of each trust and MIS is provided below.
I have been reporting separately to the members of these trusts and schemes.
5.1 Westpoint Income Fund (“WIF”)
I am continuing the process of collecting WIF’s loan assets for the benefit of its creditors and investors. The following table provides a summary of the status of the loan assets [Table 6].
Table 6 – WIF loans Entity Balance4 Comments
Goldtag $2.0m There is no surplus available to WIF from the sale of the property owned by Goldtag to meet the purported debt of $2.0million owed to WIF. LM have provided evidence of cross-guarantees which exceeded the application of sale proceeds that I had been querying. Subject to the resolution of the debt owed by Lanepoint, I intend to seek a declaration from the Court to set aside the transaction that gave rise to this debt
Kingdream $6.5m I understand that LM has sold the property owned by Kingdream. I have requested an accounting of the sale proceeds from LM, but this has not yet been received. There is no surplus available to WIF from this loan to meet the purported increase of $2.2million in debt owed by Kingdream. This debt was guaranteed by a number of entities within the Westpoint Group, of which one, Earlmist Pty Ltd, may come into funds. I have issued a letter of demand against Earlmist pursuant to the guarantee. Subject to the resolution of the debt owed by Lanepoint, I intend to seek a declaration from the Court to set aside the transaction that gave rise to this debt.
Lanepoint $2.3M The amount of WIF’s loan to Lanepoint is disputed due to the transfers of debt to Goldtag and Kingdream Lanepoint was placed into liquidation in May 2009 upon the presentation of an application by ASIC. Lanepoint appealed this judgement and was successful in having the liquidation stayed, pending determination of the amount of the debt owed to WIF. The ASIC were granted leave to appeal this decision to the High Court and were successful. I am discussing the resolution of the matters in dispute with the liquidator of Lanepoint. I expect that the issues will be resolved by way of seeking a declaration from the Court. This debt was also guaranteed by Earlmist but I have not yet issued a formal demand.
4 This is the book value according to WIF’s accounts at the date of my appointment. All loan balances are disputed.
Page 8
My ongoing role for WIF is to:
+ Finalise the discussions with the liquidator of Lanepoint;
+ Progress the letters of demand against Earlmist;
+ Prepare the documentation supporting these legal matters; and
+ Distribute the remaining surplus funds (if any) to WIF’s investors.
5.2 Paragon Commercial Syndicate (“PCS”)
As background, Westpoint Management (Centreways) Pty Ltd as trustee for the Centreways Refurbishment Syndicate Trust (“CRST”) lodged proofs of debt relating to principal and interest due on a loan owed by PCS to it. These proofs of debt were rejected and CRST commenced proceedings to have the decision overturned.
All legal proceedings relating to CRST were settled and investors in the fund have been separately advised of that outcome.
The ultimate distribution to investors will be determined by the finalisation of the taxation issues within the fund.
My continuing role for PCS is to:
+ Finalise the taxation matters; and
+ Distribute any remaining surplus funds to investors.
5.3 Paragon Apartments Trust (“PAT”)
I am awaiting the outcome of the ING receivership as PAT’s property assets were pledged to secure the debts of other Westpoint entities to ING.
Once the ING receivership is completed, I will:
+ Adjudicate and pay PAT’s unsecured creditor claims; and
+ Complete the winding up of the trust.
5.4 Murray Street Trust
I am awaiting the outcome of the ING receivership. It is my view that this Trust has been the largest contributor to the repayment of the debt owed to ING.
Once the ING receivership is completed, I will:
+ Review the Receivers and Managers’ calculation for any claims of contribution, subrogation and indemnity to protect the Murray Street Trust’s interests;
+ Realise the remaining properties (if any); and
+ Complete the winding up of the trust.
5.5 Market Street Trust
I am awaiting the outcome of the Receivership of the Market Street development.
Once the Perpetual receivership is completed, I will complete the winding up of the trust.
