EXHIBIT (c)(iii)
Queensland Treasury Corporation Half-Yearly Report
for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2006
Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) is the State’s corporate treasury services provider, with responsibility to:
• | | provide financial and risk management advice and services to our customers |
• | | source and manage the debt funding to finance Queensland’s infrastructure requirements in the most cost-effective manner, and |
• | | invest the State’s short- to medium-term cash surpluses, maximising returns to our customers through a conservative risk management framework. |
QTC does not formulate Government policy, but works within the policy frameworks developed by the Government and Queensland Treasury. While QTC’s role is not to take direct equity in projects, we may, at the direction of the Government, invest equity in special purpose vehicles established to achieve a specific outcome for the State.
FINANCIAL ADVISORY AND RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES
QTC works closely with its public sector customers to assist them to manage risk in their financial transactions and achieve the best financial solutions for their organisations and for Queensland. In assisting customers, QTC does not provide advice that is contrary to the interests of the State.
We encourage our customers and Queensland Treasury, our major stakeholder, to use our organisation as an extension of their resources, by:
• | | providing them with access, on a cost-recovery basis, to professional skills and resources to ensure that their financial risks are identified and managed on a consistent basis |
• | | acting as a central store of knowledge and expertise on financial structures and transactions, and the risks and benefits that they encompass |
• | | providing Queensland Treasury with advice on matters of financial and commercial policy and risk relating to the State and its entities, and |
• | | working as a conduit between the Government and the private sector, using our economies of scale and scope to ensure that the best possible solutions are obtained. |
DEBT FUNDING AND MANAGEMENT
QTC borrows funds in the domestic and international markets in a manner that minimises the State’s, and QTC’s, liquidity and refinancing risk. We then lend these funds to our customers, or use them to manage our customers’ debt or to refinance maturing debt.
With responsibility for virtually all of the State’s debt raisings, QTC is able to capture significant economies of scale and scope in the issuance, management and administration of debt.
These economies, together with our AAA credit rating (from the State of Queensland’s guarantee of our securities), result in a low cost of debt for Queensland’s public sector. This funding is used to provide tailored financial solutions for our customers.
SHORT- TO MEDIUM-TERM INVESTMENTS
QTC uses its financial markets expertise, developed through strong relationships with the domestic and international markets, together with its understanding of debt management and the management of financial risk, to provide customers with investment solutions that achieve a high return within a conservative risk environment.
Customers can choose from an overnight facility, a managed short-term fund, or fixed-term facilities. Alternatively, we can assist them to source appropriate solutions from the marketplace.
Vision
Efficient and effective financial risk management practices across our customers and the State.
Mission
To provide corporate treasury services to our customers and the State, by striving to understand our customers’ current and future needs and delivering solutions to meet those needs.
Values
Open communication, respect for the individual, integrity and honesty in all our dealings, good corporate citizenship, strong commitment and valuable contributions.
Stakeholder
Queensland Treasury Corporation was established by the Queensland Treasury Corporation Act 1988, as a Corporation Sole, constituted by the Under Treasurer of Queensland. QTC has delegated its powers to the QTC Capital Markets Board. QTC and the Board have agreed the terms and administrative arrangements that govern the exercise of those powers and the reports by the Board to QTC.
Customers
QTC provides financial advice and financial risk management services, debt funding, and short- to medium-term investment options to Queensland’s public sector organisations—the State Government, its departments and agencies, statutory authorities and government owned corporations, and local governments and their entities.

2006 HALF YEARLY REPORT 3
Chairman’s Report
IN THIS EXCITING PERIOD OF GROWTH IN QUEENSLAND, I AM CONFIDENT THAT QTC WILL MAINTAIN ITS STRONG POSITION AS AN ISSUER OF A$ DENOMINATED BONDS IN BOTH THE DOMESTIC AND OFFSHORE MARKETS.
In the six months to December 2006, Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) has maintained its strong position as an issuer of Australian dollar denominated bonds, and achieved total savings for customers, from portfolio management and borrowing margins, of $41.9 million. Corporately, QTC also performed well, achieving an operating surplus of $21.3 million for the half year period.
Global growth set to continue
Economic developments, which have characterised the global economy over the past six months, indicate that the longest run of global growth in excess of 4% annually since 1968–73 seems set to continue. While economic growth in the United States (US) moderated, owing largely to a downturn in US housing market activity, strong economic conditions are generally prevailing in other parts of the world. Indeed, according to the International Monetary Fund, the world economy is likely to expand by just under 5% in 2007 and 2008, after exceeding growth of 5% in 2006.
Against this backdrop of strong global growth, there has been an increase in the demand for commodities, which has put significant upward pressure on a wide range of resource prices. These high levels of commodity prices have been vital to the Australian and Queensland economies, boosting our terms-of-trade by more than 30% over the past three years. In turn, this large increase in our national income has contributed significantly to the tightness in the domestic labour market. Largely as result of this, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) characterised underlying inflationary pressures in a manner that it believed justified the official cash rate being raised by 0.75 percentage points over the past nine months to a six-year high of 6.25%.
Growth keeps State buoyant
For Queensland, these global and domestic economic backdrops have some important implications. Firstly, some of the most-sought after commodities globally are those we export the most of. As a result, business investment has driven a large part of the growth in the export-oriented sectors of the State economy over the past few years. Secondly, while these drivers look set to keep pushing growth in these sectors for the foreseeable future, past monetary policy tightening by the RBA has significantly slowed the non export-oriented and personal sectors of the Queensland economy. As a consequence, Queensland’s forecast growth rate for 2006–07 of 4.75% per annum, remains broadly in line with its growth rates of the past five, ten and fifteen years.
QTC’s borrowing requirements expected to increase
Queensland’s total estimated funding requirement for 2006–07 is $7.9 billion, including new borrowings of $4.4 billion (ie, $5.4 billion less $1 billion raised in 2005–06), against a total State capital expenditure of more than $10 billion. This estimated funding requirement includes $2.1 billion for our customers who want to lock-in funding costs for future capital expenditure, and $1.4 billion to refinance maturing debt (see Appendix C for more details).
As Queensland’s economy continues to expand at a rate greater than the national average, the Government’s program of increasing capital expenditure through the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan is expected to increase QTC’s borrowing requirements in the foreseeable future. Any increases in the borrowing program, however, are expected to be moderated by projected growth in revenues, due to the continued, although more moderate, growth of the State’s economy.
Strong domestic and international investor interest in QTC’s A$ denominated benchmark bonds has continued over the past six months. Approximately 95% of our total funding is now generated by this program. In November, we successfully launched our September 2017 Domestic Benchmark Bond, which was followed in December with the launch of the interest withholding tax exempt Global tranche. Strong investor demand was evident with total bids tendered being significantly more than the amount allotted.

Financial Markets relationships bolster QTC’s competitive edge
QTC’s commitment to its proactive domestic and international investor relationship program continued over the period, with regular contact with distribution group members, major global institutional investors and Asian central banks maintained.
With more than half of Queensland’s funding raised offshore, Queensland’s Deputy Premier and Treasurer, the Hon. Anna Bligh, joined QTC and Queensland Treasury Department representatives in October 2006 for a series of well-received meetings with global institutional investors and distribution group members, in Beijing, Tokyo, Zurich, Frankfurt, London and New York.
Building customer franchise to add real value to the State
Over the half year to December 2006, QTC has continued its commitment to work closely with customers to add real value to their businesses, completing significant financial advisory, risk management and modelling assignments that have strengthened our relationships with customers.
We have added significant value to the State and its entities through the contributions of our seconded staff to a number of significant State projects, as well as providing advice and support to most of the public sector’s major projects.
Our work with local government has increased, with the expected completion of some 120 financial sustainability reviews of individual councils on track for the end of this financial year. Also within this sector, the LG Infrastructure Services, a joint venture with the Local Government Association of Queensland, has continued to mature and grow, delivering projects with a capital value of more than $100 million, and providing advice on strategic approaches to procurement of projects with a capital value of more than $2 billion.
Looking ahead: opportunities and challenges
As our customers strive to implement the Government’s accelerated South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan, we expect to see continued growth in the volume and scope of our customer advisory work, as well as additional demand for QTC employees to assist by way of secondment to these projects. In our role as Queensland’s financial and risk management adviser, we also look forward to an increased involvement in assisting the Government with its assessment of alternative and innovative approaches for the accelerated delivery of this infrastructure.
In this exciting period of growth in Queensland, I am confident that QTC will maintain its strong position as an issuer of A$ denominated bonds in both the domestic and offshore markets.
I am also confident that QTC’s employees will build on the very strong organisational performance of the past six months to ensure QTC adds significant real value to the State this year.
Acknowledgements
In May 2006, we responded positively to a request from the Government to second QTC’s Chief Executive, Stephen Rochester, to the role of Chief Executive of Energex’s retail arm, Sun Retail, in preparation for its sale in late 2006. During this time, Stephen maintained a strategic involvement in QTC’s operations and resumed his fulltime role with QTC in February 2007.
On behalf of the Board, I thank QTC’s management team and employees for their efforts of the past six months in delivering financial services and solutions that meet or exceed our customers’ expectations and maintain the financial integrity of Queensland. We look forward to working together to meet the challenges of the year ahead.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
For the half-year ended 31 December 2006
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Queensland Treasury Corporation is constituted under the Queensland Treasury Corporation Act 1988 (the Act), with the Under Treasurer designated as the corporation sole under section 5(2) of the Act.
QTC is the State’s central financing authority and corporate treasury services provider, with responsibility for providing debt funding, liability management, cash management and financial risk management advice to public sector customers. These services are undertaken on a cost recovery basis with QTC lending at an interest rate based on its cost of funds and with the benefits/costs of liability and asset management being passed on to its customers being Queensland public sector entities.
The majority of QTC’s profits are generated as a result of interest earned from the investment of QTC’s equity. QTC ensures that in undertaking its activities it has adequate capital to manage its risks.
Although there is no statutory requirement for the preparation of half-year financial statements, in order to better meet the needs of users of QTC’s financial information, a general purpose interim financial report has been prepared.
The interim financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the entity as the full financial report. It should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of Queensland Treasury Corporation as at 30 June 2006.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION
These general purpose financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2006 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Management Standard 1997 issued pursuant to the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977, and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. They have been prepared in accordance with and comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which include all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AeIFRS) issued and effective as at the time of preparing these statements.
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current period.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss and all derivative contracts.
(B) SEGMENT REPORTING
QTC operates predominantly in the finance and investment industry through liability and fund management activities. Liability management activities relate to the borrowing of funds to finance the capital works programs of the State and the management of these borrowings so as to achieve the lowest cost to borrowers. The fund management activities of QTC relate to the investment of the short term surpluses of these bodies in order to achieve the highest possible return for a given level of risk.
QTC operates in Queensland, Australia.
(C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Foreign currency transactions are initially translated into Australian dollars at the rate of exchange applying at the date of the transaction. At balance date, amounts payable to and by QTC in foreign currencies have been valued using current exchange rates after taking into account interest rates and accrued interest.
Exchange gains/losses are brought to account in the Income Statement.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
For the half-year ended 31 December 2006 (continued)
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(D) INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
The recognition of investment income and borrowing costs includes net realised gains/losses from the sale of investments (interest income) and the preredemption of borrowings (interest expense) together with the net unrealised gains/losses arising from holding investments and certain onlendings (interest income) and net unrealised gains/losses from borrowings (interest expense). These unrealised gains/losses are a result of revaluing to market daily.
The majority of onlendings are provided to customers on a pooled basis. Interest costs are allocated to customers based on the daily movement in the market value of the pool.
(E) FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Balance Sheet when QTC becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and no longer controlled by QTC.
A financial liability is removed from the Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value by reference to quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated on the basis of pricing models, or other recognised valuation techniques.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
QTC uses mid market rates as a basis for establishing fair values of quoted financial instruments with offsetting risk positions. In general, the risk characteristics of funds borrowed together with the financial derivatives used to manage interest rate and foreign currency risks closely match those of funds on lent. In all other cases, the bid-offer spread is applied where material.
Classification
Management classifies its financial instruments on initial recognition into the following categories:
| • | | Derivative financial instruments |
| • | | Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and |
| • | | Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. |
QTC’s accounting policies for significant financial assets and financial liabilities are listed below.
Onlendings
Onlendings, with the exception of loans to cooperative housing societies, are included in the Balance Sheet at their redemption value which is representative of market value. Loans to cooperative housing societies are based on the balance of each housing society’s loans to its members adjusted where necessary for a specific provision for impairment.
Derivative financial instruments
QTC uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate, foreign currency and credit risks as part of asset and liability management activities. In addition they may be used, to deliver long term floating rate or long term fixed rate exposure. In accordance with its treasury policy, QTC does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.
15 QUEENSLAND TREASURY CORPORATION
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss consist of all other investments including money market deposits, discount securities, semi-government bonds and floating rate notes. Unrealised gains and losses are brought to account in the Income Statement.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include interest bearing liabilities and deposits. Unrealised gains and losses are brought to account in the Income Statement.
| - | Interest bearing liabilities at fair value through profit or loss |
Interest bearing liabilities mainly consist of Australian and overseas bonds. Australian bonds include QTC’s domestic, capital indexed and public bonds. Overseas bonds include global bonds and Eurobonds. Global bonds are Australian dollar denominated bonds issued overseas.
| - | Deposits at fair value through profit or loss |
Deposits are accepted to either the Working Capital Facility (11AM Fund) or the Cash Fund for portfolio management. Income derived from the investment of these deposits accrues to depositors daily. The amount shown in the Balance Sheet represents the market value of deposits held at balance date.
Securities which are sold under agreements to repurchase at an agreed price remain as an investment whilst the obligation to repurchase is disclosed as a deposit.
(F) PAYMENT IN LIEU OF INCOME TAX
QTC is exempt from the payment of income tax under section 50-25 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (as amended).
QTC makes a payment in lieu of income tax to the Queensland Government’s Consolidated Fund. The calculation of the income tax liability is based on the income of certain activities controlled by QTC.
In calculating the payment in lieu of income tax, tax effect accounting principles are adopted for income received and expenses paid in relation to the management and administration of clients’ borrowings and deposits as well as for advisory services and structured finance transactions. For all other QTC operations on which a payment in lieu of income tax is made, tax effect accounting principles are not applied.
QTC’s controlled and jointly controlled entities are defined as State and Territory bodies under section 24AO of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 and as a consequence are exempt from Commonwealth tax under section 24AM of this Act.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences arising from prepayments of expenditure. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences arising from accruals of expenditure, employee benefits and depreciation charged on property, plant and equipment.
Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
(G) ROUNDING
Amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars except for Note 15 which is rounded to the nearest million dollars.

(1) | QTC’s Cash Fund is capital guaranteed. To reduce the impact of a credit failure on its retained earnings, QTC sets aside a certain portion of its fees earned from the Cash Fund to the Credit Risk Reserve together with interest accumulated on the reserves. The Reserve will be utilised if a credit event results in there being a shortfall between the guaranteed capital and the investments of the Cash Fund. |
(2) | The Basis Risk Reserve has been created to provide for the probability of loss as a result of basis risk where QTC has borrowed in excess of its loans to clients. The excess borrowings are required to enable QTC to manage its customer debt portfolios and liquidity, and are hedged through the purchase of high credit quality and highly liquid financial assets. Gains/losses may occur due to interest yields on borrowings not moving in exactly the same manner as interest yields on the asset hedges. Basis risk has been measured using value at risk methodology. QTC is confident at the 99% level that the accumulated losses as a result of basis risk on surplus fixed rate funding over a 10 business day period will be no greater than the value of the reserve for surplus fixed rate funding. Further at 99% confidence, the accumulated loss as a result of basis risk on surplus floating rate funding over a 20 business day period will be no greater than the value of the reserve for surplus floating rate funding. |
The remaining reserves are maintained for general purposes.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
For the half-year ended 31 December 2006 (continued)
13. CASH FLOWS PRESENTED ON A NET BASIS
Cash flows arising from the following activities are presented on a net basis in the Cash Flow Statement:
• | | loan advances to and redemptions from clients (onlendings) |
• | | sales and purchases of other financial assets |
• | | receipt and withdrawal of client deposits, and |
• | | interest bearing liabilities. |
14. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The following contingent liabilities existed at balance date:
• | | A total of $847 million (30 June 2006 $666 million) of Queensland Treasury Corporation inscribed stock was lent to various financial institutions. QTC lends stock on the basis that there is a simultaneous commitment by the other party to return the stock on an agreed date. These loans are made to support the liquidity of QTC bonds in the financial markets and form part of QTC’s total exposure to these financial institutions. Historically, the likelihood of a loss being incurred through default by a counterparty has been remote. |
• | | With regard to certain cross border lease transactions, QTC has assumed responsibility for a significant portion of the transaction risk. If certain events occur, QTC could be liable to make additional payments under the transactions. However external advice and history to date indicate the likelihood of these events occurring is remote. In addition, QTC has provided certain guarantees and indemnities to various participants in the cross border lease transactions. Expert external advisors consider, that unless exceptional and extreme circumstances arise, QTC will not be required to make a significant payment under these guarantees and indemnities. |
• | | To facilitate the merger of the former State owned financial institutions, Suncorp and QIDC with Metway Bank Ltd, QTC provided guarantees relating to certain obligations of the Queensland Government and Suncorp General Insurance Ltd. These guarantees are supported by counter indemnities from the Treasurer on behalf of the State of Queensland. |
• | | QTC has provided guarantees relating to the trading activities of subsidiaries of Ergon Energy, Energex and CS Energy (Queensland Government owned corporations) in the national electricity market to the value of $343 million (30 June 2006 $342.9 million) which are supported by counter indemnities from these Queensland Government owned corporations. |
• | | QTC has provided guarantees to the value of $126.8 million (30 June 2006 $123.4 million) to support the commercial activities of various Queensland public sector entities. In each case, a counter indemnity has been obtained by QTC from the appropriate public sector entity. |
• | | To provide support in relation to the sale by Tarong Energy Corporation Ltd of a 50% share in the Tarong North Power Station, QTC provided a guarantee of certain payment obligations of Tarong Energy Corporation Ltd under the transaction together with providing an irrevocable put option for 50% of the power station exercisable by the option holder under certain circumstances. This guarantee and put option are supported by an indemnity from Tarong Energy Corporation Ltd and an indemnity from the Treasurer for and on behalf of the State of Queensland. |

2006 HALF YEARLY REPORT 23
Independent Review Report to Queensland Treasury Corporation
Matters Relating to the Electronic Presentation of the Reviewed Financial Statements
The review report relates to the financial statements of Queensland Treasury Corporation for the half year ended 31 December 2006 included on Queensland Treasury Corporation’s web site. The corporation is responsible for the integrity of the Queensland Treasury Corporation’s web site. We have not been engaged to report on the integrity of Queensland Treasury Corporation’s web site. The review report refers only to the statements named below. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from these statements. If users of the financial statements are concerned with inherent risks arising from electronic data communications they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the reviewed financial statements, available from Queensland Treasury Corporation, to confirm the information included in the reviewed financial statements presented on this web site.
These matters also relate to the presentation of the reviewed financial statements in other electronic media including CD Rom.
Scope
The financial statements
The financial statements of Queensland Treasury Corporation consist of the interim income statement, interim balance sheet, interim statement of changes in equity, interim cash flow statement, notes to and forming part of the financial statements and certificates given by the Chief Executive and Under Treasurer, Queensland Treasury, as the corporation sole, for the half-year ended 31 December 2006.
The corporation sole’s responsibility
The corporation sole is responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial statements, the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial statements.
Audit approach
The financial statements have been prepared for the information of management and the Corporation. I disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this review report or on the financial statements to which it relates to any person other than management and the Corporation.
My review has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Corporation personnel and analytical procedures applied to the financial data, and other procedures as considered necessary. These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than that given in an audit. I have not performed an audit and, accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
The Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977 promotes the independence of the Auditor-General and QAO authorised auditors.
The Auditor-General is the auditor of all public sector entities and can only be removed by Parliament.
The Auditor-General may conduct a review in any way considered appropriate and is not subject to direction by any person about the way in which powers are to be exercised.
The Auditor-General has for the purposes of conducting a review, access to all documents and property and can report to Parliament matters which in the Auditor-General’s opinion are significant.
Statement
Based on my review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the financial statements of Queensland Treasury Corporation for the half-year ended 31 December 2006 do not present fairly the transactions of the Queensland Treasury Corporation and the financial position of the Queensland Treasury Corporation for the period then ended in accordance with prescribed accounting standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.
