See b. above.

The Treasury Committee, a committee nominated by the board, approves cash flow estimates at leastevery three months.

The assumptions used to monitor liquidity are stressed tested on a regular basis via sensitivity analysis that is provided to the Treasury Committee.

Benchmark 3: Loan Portfolio and Diversification

Trilogy does not meet the benchmark

For a pooled mortgage scheme:

All loans made by the Trust are secured by first mortgages over real property.All loans made by the scheme are secured by first mortgages over real property (including registered leasehold title).

The responsible entity does not lend to related parties of the responsible entity or to the scheme’s investment manager.

Trilogy does not lend to related parties of the responsible entity and does not engage an investment manager.

Benchmark 4: Related Party Transactions Trilogy meets the benchmark

Benchmark 2: Scheme Borrowing Trilogy meets the BenchmarkThe Trust does not have current borrowings and Trilogy does not intend to borrow on behalf of the Trust.The responsible entity does not have current

borrowing and does not intend to borrow on behalf of the scheme.

B. For all other property, on an‘as is’ basis: and

ii. Within two months after the directorsform a view that there is a likelihood that a decrease in the value of securityproperty may have caused a materialbreach of loan covenant.

45.50 In relation to valuations for the scheme’s mortgage assets and their security property, the board of the responsible entity requires:

Trilogy’s valuation policy meets each aspect of this benchmark other than, as explained in section 2.2 of the PDS and below, Trilogy does not invariably obtain a new valuation on a renewal of a loan.

Trilogy does not invariably obtain a new valuation on the renewal of a loan because the terms of the renewal may not warrant the cost of the valuation, if, for instance the term is merely increased by a number of months and there is no reason to believe that the loan will not be repaid in full. In determining whether a new valuation should be obtained in any particular case, the Lending Committee will take into account a number of factors, including those referred to at 45.81 below.

Further details of Trilogy’s Valuation Policy are provided below at Disclosure principle 5: Valuation Policy.

Benchmark 5: Valuation Policy Trilogy does not meet the benchmark

a. Where the loan relates to propertydevelopment – funds are provided to theborrower in stages based on independentevidence of the progress of thedevelopment;

a.

b. Where the loan relates to propertydevelopment – the scheme does not lendmore than 70% on the basis of the latest‘as if complete’ valuation of propertyover which security is provided; and

c. In all other cases – the scheme does notlend more than 80% on the basis of thelatest market valuation of property overwhich security is provided.

c.

i. Money in an account or ondeposit with a bank and is available forwithdrawal immediately, or otherwise onexpiry of a fixed term not exceeding 90days, during the normal business hours ofthe bank; or

• the disclosure principle; and • the relevant disclosures of Trilogy.

a. the current and future prospects of liquidity of the scheme;

a.

Trilogy permits members to withdraw at times other than those stated in the benchmark. Even though all cash of the Trust is held on deposit with a bank and is available for immediate withdrawal, the Mortgage Investments of the Trust are not assets that Trilogy can reasonably expect to realise for their market value within 10 business days. At any one time more than 20% of the Trust’s assets will be in Mortgage Investments that are not expected to fall due for repayment with that time period.

Nevertheless, Trilogy only permits members to withdraw when the Trust is ‘liquid’ within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001. See Section 3.12 of the PDS for an explanation as to when a scheme is ‘liquid’.

For non-liquid schemes, the responsible entity intends to make withdrawal offers to investors at least quarterly.

Trilogy has a ‘Liquidity Policy’ which requires the tabling of a report to the Treasury Committee andExecutive Committee on a regular basis and is presented to the Board monthly.

The report uses the following assumptions to monitor liquidity (these assumptions may change fromtime-to-time as reviewed) and balance the maturity of assets and the maturity of liabilities:

c. For borrowings due after five years – the total debts due;

- Forecast investor redemptions are based on the larger of:

Any significant risk factors that may affect the liquidity of the scheme; and

Trilogy has no reason to believe that it will not have sufficient cash or cash equivalents to meet its projected cash needs over the next 12 months or that it will not continue to do so going forward.

Some significant risks that may affect the liquidity of the Trust could be:- A large number of redemptions of an amount more than the available liquidity of the Trust.

- Forecast inflow of funds have been based on estimates by the Trilogy Sales and MarketingDepartment; and

- Borrower defaults.

o Known pending redemptions from withdrawals received; or

- Forecast draw downs have been based on the latest Trilogy Lending Department individual loanforecasts noting all scheduled inflows and outflows for individual mortgages.

The assumptions used to monitor liquidity are stress tested on a regular basis via sensitivity analysis that is provided to the Treasury Committee.

The policy of the trust is to balance the maturity of assets and the maturity of liabilities. This is doneas part of the process of producing 12 month cash flows and is managed and monitored by the TreasuryCommittee.

As at 31 December 2013 total Trust assets were $12,588,551, comprised of 76.14% mortgage loans ($9,584,486), 23.06% cash and cash equivalents ($2,902,977) and 0.80% other receivables ($101,088). Unallocated and Allocated cash is held by the custodian, The Trust Company (Australia) Limited, with both Westpac Bank and the Bank of Queensland. The balance of the accounts were $10,806 for Unallocated cash and $2,892,171 for Allocated cash.

The scheme’s diversification policy and how the assets correlate with that policy. In principle the objective of the Trust is to have a target of 5 – 10% liquidity. This target is currently

not being met due to the fact that several loans have repaid in full recently. This has resulted in a higher current level of liquidity. However, it is expected that recent loan approvals will reduce this liquidity figure in the upcoming months. The Trust’s liquidity level is monitored continuously and reviewed regularly by the Treasury Committee.

A targeted indicative spread objective of security locations is:

The following are Trilogy guidelines for the class of activity sector spread of the portfolio. Theguidelines reflect Trilogy’s experience and accumulated skills in lending on construction projectspredominantly in the residential sector, as well as commercial and industrial sectors. Additionally,Trilogy has experience in lending on land development projects and consequently it is acknowledgedthat construction and development projects will be featured in the sector spread. These percentagesare a guide only and the sector spread will be reviewed by the Lending Committee on an ongoing basis. There are 6 loans in the portfolio as at 31 December 2013. With a smaller loan portfolio, maintainingdiversity can prove challenging to achieve. Obviously these percentages outlined in Trilogy’s LendingPolicy are a guide only.

The primary security for each Mortgage Investment held by the Trust is a registered first mortgage over real estate situated within specified states and territories in Australia. Additional types of security may be taken including company charges and personal guarantees to support the first mortgage security.

The security does not need to be income producing.

As part of the Trust’s portfolio diversification, the Trust may also invest in other registered managed investment schemes which invest in registered first mortgages.

To date this has not occurred. If this does occur, the registered managed investment schemes into which the Trust makes an investment will be required to address the benchmarks and apply the disclosure principles.

45.81$5,000,000

A strict process is used by Trilogy to evaluate each loan proposal that is submitted to us by applicantborrowers and for monitoring any loan that is subsequently made. This process reflects therequirements contained within Trilogy’s Lending Policy.

Where interest is capitalised in respect of a development or construction loan, Trilogy will assess thefeasibility of the project. It will also consider an appropriate amount to be reserved for capitalisedinterest before determining the loan advance and ultimate LVR.

Trilogy has procedures in relation to loan renewals. The Lending Committee will make a determination if a new valuation is required prior to a renewal.

The Lending Committee bases its determination on a number of factors including the borrower’s loan history, the amount of the loan outstanding and the duration of the extension and other information such as recent sales and settlements, local agents and valuers.

Disclose if the scheme invests in, or may invest in, other unlisted mortgages schemes (whether registered or unregistered) and the policy on investing in those schemes, including the extent to which there is a requirement for those schemes to meet the benchmarks and apply the disclosure principles.

The arrangement was entered into before the establishment of the Trust and no Unit Holder approval was sought.

The risks associated with any related party arrangements are outlined in Section 5 of the PDS. Further, the engagement of a related party to provide services may be more difficult to enforce than where those services are provided by external parties.

Investors should be aware that the fees and costs paid by borrowers form part of the assets of the Trust but are paid to Trilogy. Trilogy Capital Services Pty Ltd (TCS) and Sirius Property Services Pty Ltd ATF Sirus Mortgage Management Services Unit Trust (Sirius) are reimbursed by Trilogy from the assets of the Trust, for costs and expenses incurred in providing services to the Trust. However, this will be limited to 0.24% of the gross value of the Mortgage Investments and Allocated cash held in the Trust. The financial benefit paid to TCS and Sirius by Trilogy for costs and expenses varies from month to month, according to the costs and expenses incurred in the period.

TCS and Sirius may also receive fees from borrowers for services provided directly to them. These are not services of the nature set out in Section 4.2 of the PDS and may relate to matters such as the provision of sales and marketing assistance. They are incurred and paid in accordance with the arrangements between the borrower and TCS and Sirius.

TCS is the holding company of Trilogy and Sirius.The arrangement between Trilogy, TCS and Sirius is on an arm’s length commercial basis and is reflected in a management agreement between them.

Trilogy has a strict policy of no related party lending. Since inception the Trust has not engaged in any related party lending.

Trilogy Wholesale First Mortgage Income Trust invests solely in the Trust.

Trilogy will not enter into any related party transaction in relation to the Trust except those noted above. In accordance with both the Compliance Plan for the Trust and its related party policy, compliance with these policies and procedures, including the entering into and approval of any related party transaction, is monitored by Trilogy’s compliance officer, the managing director and the Board. In addition, the Compliance Committee members may obtain such independent advice on related party transactions as they and the Board determine is reasonably necessary. A register of related parties is maintained by Trilogy and is monitored by its compliance officer.

The valuation policy is available on the Trilogy website.

Trilogy directors rely on independent valuations to form a view on the value of the security property.

All security must be valued prior to loan approval and at the discretion of the Lending Committee when the following occurs:

- A material change in the terms of the loan, including as to the amount, duration, or interest rate on renewal

- Delay in any construction or development proposal;

- Within two months after the directors form a view that there is a likelihood that a decrease in the value of security property may have caused a material breach of loan covenant; and

The source for distributions differs between Cash units and Allocated units.(i) Cash units:Once Application monies are received by the Trust, they are first held as Unallocated cash until they are converted into Allocated cash. Trilogy at its discretion may convert Cash units into Allocated units. Current distributions on Unallocated cash consist of interest earned on the Short Term Investment Account for the period in which Unallocated cash remains unallocated. Distribution rates on Cash units are based on the current interest rate payable by the bank on the Trust’s Short Term Investment Account. This may change from time to time.

Unallocated cash consists of Application Monies received by the Trust, interest received from the Short Term Investment Account (with respect to Unallocated cash) and any reinvested distributions paid with respect to Allocated units (in accordance with a reinvestment direction from the Investor).

(ii) Allocated units:Allocated cash can also be held by the Trust and arises where loans have been repaid (in full or in part) by borrowers, from interest paid by borrowers (where interest is not capitalised), from interest received from deposits of Allocated cash and from any fees that have been waived by Trilogy.

The cash for current distributions with respect to Allocated units is sourced from Allocated cash and consists of the following:

- where interest is capitalised, cash that is advanced to the borrower (from Allocated or Unallocated cash) to enable the borrower to make the interest payments due under and in accordance with the relevant loan agreement,

Disclosure Principle 7: Distribution Practices Trilogy’s disclosure

Disclose:The source of the current and forecast distributions (e.g. from income earned in the relevant distribution period, operating cash flow, financing facility, capital, application money);

- where interest is not capitalised, cash that is interest paid by borrowers (and is held in Allocated cash),

- cash that constitutes repayments of loans by borrowers, or - cash that is interest received from the deposits of Allocated cash.For further information see Section 3.11 of the PDS.

b. Not applicable.

Distributions rates for both Cash and Allocated units may vary from time to time. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance (see Section 5.2b of the PDS).

Distributions may be reduced in the event of losses, so as to maintain the unit price at $1.00. No distributions will be made for Cash units and Allocated units in the event of negative income (see Section 5.9d of the PDS).

Interest charged to a borrower is typically capitalised in a development or construction loan (see Section 2.4 of the PDS). In this case, distributions will be paid from the cash component of the Trust. There is a risk that cash held by the Trust will be insufficient to enable distributions to be paid in any one or more months. See Sections 5.4b and 5.6 of the PDS.

Trilogy does not forecast distributions.45.101

If the scheme promotes a particular return on investments, disclose details of the circumstances in which a lower return may be payable, together with details of how that lower return will be determined.

No particular rate of return is promoted in the PDS, via the website or in any promotional material.

Although distributions for Allocated units are not solely sourced from income received in the relevant distribution period, Trilogy considers that distributions on the above basis are sustainable over the next 12 months.

Distributions are generally paid by the 8th business day following the end of each month.

Withdrawal policy is as follows:- Four months’ notice is required to withdraw units in the Trust. Withdrawal requests will normally be processed in the month following the expiry of the four month notice period and will be paid within the first seven days of the month thereafter.

- No application for withdrawal will be accepted within the first two months of initially investing in the Trust.

- If the withdrawal is of Allocated units, Trilogy may treat these as Cash units during the notice period and the distributions received on these units will be at the same rate as for Cash units.

- The minimum balance in the Trust remaining after the withdrawal must be at least $1,000.Redemptions are allowed from the Trust when it is a liquid scheme. Refer to Benchmark 8: Withdrawal arrangements and Section 3.12 of the PDS.

If the Trust were to become an illiquid scheme no redemptions would be permitted under the liquid scheme arrangements provided by section 610KA of the Corporations Act (and the Constitution of the Trust) on which withdrawals as described in (a) are based. All redemptions would be on the basis provided in section 601KB of the Corporations Act. Under this Trilogy may (but is not obliged to) offer all Investors to withdraw, wholly or partly, their units (Cash and Allocated) from the Trust to the extent that particular Trust assets are available to be able to be converted by Trilogy in time to satisfy the withdrawal requests made by the Investors in response to the offer. If the amount made available is insufficient to meet all requests, then the requests will be satisfied on a pro rata basis. The Trust would be an illiquid scheme if less than 80% of the assets of the Trust were not able to be realised within the period specified in the Constitution for satisfying withdrawal requests. That period is stated to be 500 days.

The ability for an investor to redeem their units from the Trust is dependent upon its liquidity. The Trust’s liquidity is influenced by additional investments into the Trust and draw-downs required on approved loans.

The policy of the scheme on balancing the maturity of its assets with the maturity of its liabilities and the ability of its members to withdraw (e.g. if a scheme has a policy of ensuring that sufficient assets are held in readily realizable investments to meet future withdrawal requests, the Responsible Entity should state this in the PDS, provide details of the source of the realizable investment and report against this in its ongoing disclosure).

j.

Not applicable

Not applicable as there is no external funding facility.

According to the Constitution, Trilogy has a maximum of 500 days to meet redemptions if the Trust is liquid scheme.

Trilogy must suspend redemptions if the Trust ceases to be a liquid scheme. Further, Trilogy may suspend redemptions if at the date of receiving redemption, Trilogy determines that the Unit Value is less than Redemption Price and it is required to make a ‘Compulsory Redemption of Units’ under clause 28. After this ‘Compulsory Redemption of Units’ takes place, the redemption may then take place.

Liquidity in the Trust is managed by the Treasury Committee as described in 45.34 of this document.

a. The grounds (which must be verifiable) for the statement;

b. The supporting assumptions (which must not be hypothetical only) for the statement;

c. The basis for the statement (which must not be based only on an opinion of the directors of the Responsible Entity if there are no objective grounds to support that opinion); and

d. Any specific risk factors that mean that withdrawal requests might not be satisfied within the expected period.

45.105 These are set out in the PDS. See section 3.12 of the PDS.

Specific risk factors are referred to in Sections 5.6 and 5.9d of the PDS.

If the PDS contains a statement to the effect that, historically, withdrawal requests have been satisfied within a particular period, this may suggest a link between historical withdrawal periods and withdrawal periods that are likely to apply in the future. The Responsible Entity should ensure the statement clarifies that investors should not conclude that there is such a link between the historical availability of withdrawal and their future availability.

Not applicable, there is no such statement in the PDS.

If the Responsible Entity makes representations to investors that they can withdraw from the scheme, disclose:

45.107 Yes. The Trust’s Constitution has a mechanism for compulsory redemption of Cash and Allocated units. Where the responsible entity finds that the unit price is less than the redemption price, Trilogy will redeem sufficient Cash and Allocated units to bring the unit price of each of the Unallocated and Allocated units back to equal the redemption price.

This is achieved by redeeming an amount of capital from the Trust equal to the number of whole dollars of the amount by which the unit value less than the redemption price of the units.

Following a compulsory redemption of units, Investors are provided with an exit statement detailing the number and value of the reduction in their unit holding. The annual periodic statement from the Trust will provide details of the balances on the number of units held in the Trust, including those redeemed. Both the exit statement and period statement can be used by Investors to determine any capital gain (or loss) that may arise on redemption of units made during the period. The Trust does not issue a separate capital gains statement if the Investor disposes or redeems unit in the Trust. However, if units are compulsorily redeemed, Trilogy will create a separate capital loss statement for investors which will disclose the value of their investment which has been redeemed at nil value per unit. Tax liabilities are the responsibility of each individual investor and professional advice should be obtained from a tax adviser.

If the scheme promotes a fixed redemption unit price for investments (e.g. $1 per unit), the Responsible Entity must clearly disclose details of the circumstances in which a lower amount may be payable, details of how that amount will be determined and the impact of a default under the scheme’s mortgage assets on investors (e.g. on investor distributions and the unit price).
