Notes to the financial statementsfor the period ended 31 March 2011
Note 1. Trust Information
The Trust is registered and domiciled in Australia. The address of the Trust's registered office is Perpetual Limited, Level 12Angel Place, 123 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
i) Basis of preparation
The execution date of the Trust is 2 September 2010. These financial statements reflect its first period of operations with thefirst mortgages being originated in September 2010. However, the financial statements have been prepared for a period of 7months from the date of execution.
The Trust is not a reporting entity because, in the Directors' opinion, it is unlikely that users exist who are unable tocommand the preparation of reports tailored so as to satisfy, specificaliy, all of their information needs.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this Financial Report are set out below.
This special purpose Financial Report has been prepared in compliance with the Trust Deed to prepare and distribute afinancial report. The Directors have determined that Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and practices are adopted asdeemed appropriate by the Trust Manager to meet the needs of the members. Disclosure requirements have not beenadopted with the exception of the following:
AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements. AASB 107: Cash Flow Statements. AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. AASB 1031: Materiality. AASB 1048: Interpretation and Application of Standards
The Directors have determined that the Trust need not comply with AASB 7 "Financial Instruments Disclosure" or AASB 139"Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement".
Historical cost convention
This Financial Report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment
securities available for sale and other certain assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value.
Critical accounting estimates and significant judgements
The preparation of the Financial Report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain criticalaccounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the accountingpolicies. In preparation of these financial statements there were no areas involving a higher degree of judgement orcomplexity.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, includingreasonable expectations of future events. Management believes the estimates used in preparing the Financial Report arereasonable. Actual results in the future may differ from those reported and therefore it is reasonably possible, on the basis of
existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial year that are different from our assumptions and estimates could
require an adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities reported.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)for the period ended 31 March 2011
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
i) Basis of preparation (continued)
New Accounting Standards, amendments to Accounting Standards and Interpretations that are not yeteffective
When a new Accounting Standard is first adopted, any change in accounting policy is accounted for in accordance with thespecific transitional provisions (if any), otherwise retrospectively.The Trust's assessment of the impact of the key new Accounting Standards, amendments to Accounting Standards andInterpretations is set out below:
AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 201 0)
In December 2010, the AASB re-issued AASB 9 Financial Instruments, which is effective for annual reporting periodsbeginning on or after 1 January 2013. Early adoption is permitted if all the requirements are applíed at the same time. Therevised AASB 9 includes the classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities, and the recognition andderecognition requirements for financial instruments, in addition to the classification and measurement requirements forfinancial assets that appeared in the December 2009 version of the Standard.
In respect of financial liabilities, the change in fair value (for financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss)
due to changes in an entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income, unless such presentationwould create an accounting mismatch. If a mismatch is created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes infair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss. All other key requirements forclassification and measurement of financial liabilities have been carried forward unamended from AASB 139 FinancialInstruments: Recognition and Measurement. The recognition and derecognition requirements in AASB 139 have also beenretained and relocated to the revised AASB 9 unamended. The entity will first apply AASB 9 in the financial year beginning 1
April 2013. The impact of AASB 9 on the entity's financial statements on initial application has not yet been assessed.
ii) Foreign currency translations
Functional and presentation currency
The Trust's financial statements are presented in Australian dollars (presentation currency), which is the Trust's functionalcurrency.
iii) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised for the majorbusiness activities as follows:
Interest incomeInterest received as part of the interest premium that varies over the life of a stated income loan and deferred establishment
fees has been brought to account on an accruals basis. All other interest income arising from ioans and deposits is broughtto account using the effective interest method. The effective interest method calculates the amortised cost of a financialinstrument and allocates the interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is that rate thatexactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when
appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.
Originator fees charged by the Trust Manager over the life of the ioan, are recognised as interest income using the effective
interest method.
Fee and commission incomeFee and commission income Is brought to account on an accruals basis.
iv) Distributions
In accordance with the Trust Deed, the Trust distributes its distributable (taxable) income, and any other amountsdetermined by the Manager, to unitholders in cash. The distributions are recognised in the Income statement asdistributions to unitholders.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
v) Income tax
Under current income tax legislation, the Trust is not liable for income tax provided its taxable income is fully distributed tothe beneficiary.
vi) Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments entered into by the Trust include interest rate swaps. These derivative instruments are principally used
for the risk management of existing financial assets and liabilities.
All derivatives, including those used for statement of financial position hedging purposes, are recognised on the statement of
financial position and are disclosed as an asset where they have a positive fair value at balance date or as a liability wherethe fair value at balance date is negative.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured
to their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets, including recent markettransactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and option pricing models, as appropriate.Movements in the carrying amounts of derivatives are recognised in the income statement, unless the derivative meets therequirements for hedge accounting.
The best evidence of a derivative's fair value at initial recognition is the transaction price, unless its fair value is evidenced by
comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation techniquewhose variables include only data from observable markets. Where such evidence exists, the Trust recognises profitsimmediately when the derivative is recognised.
vii) Investments and other financial assets
With the exception of derivatives which are classified separately in the statement of financial position, the remaininginvestments in financial assets are classified as loan assets held at amortised cost. The classification depends on thepurpose for which the investment was acquired, which is determined at initial recognition and, except for fair value thoughprofit or loss, is re-evaluated at each reporting date.
Loan assets held at amortised cost
Loan assets held at amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are notquoted in an active market.
viii) Impairment
Loan assets held at amortised cost
Loan assets are subject to regular review and assessment for possible impairment. Provisions for impairment on loan assets
are recognised based on an incurred loss model and re-assessed at each reporting date. A provision for impairment isrecognised when there is objective evidence of impairment, and is caiculated based on the present value of expected futurecash flows, discounted using the original effective interest rate.
Specific provisions for impairment are recognised where impairment of individual loans is identified. The Trust makesjudgements as to whether there is any observable data indicating that there is a significant decrease in the estimated future
cash flows from a portfolio of loans before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio. Thisevidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of theborrowers in a group, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group.Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objectiveevidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows. The methodology andassumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce anydifferences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. Changes in assumptions used for estimating future cashflows could result in a change in the estimated provisions for impairment on loan assets at reporting date.

viii) Impairment (continued)
Loan assets held at amortised cost (continued)
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment losses decrease and the decrease can be related objectively to anevent occurring after the impairment losses were recognised, the previously recognised impairment losses are reversedthrough the income statement to the extent of what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not beenrecognised.
Bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified.
ix) Financial liabilties
The Trust has on issue debt securities and instruments which are initially recognised at fair value net of transaction costsincurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs)and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effectiveinterest method.
x) Other assets
Other assets may include amounts for interest and accrued income. Interest is accrued at the reporting date from the timeof last payment in accordance with the policy set out in note 2(iii) above.
xi) Other liabilties
Other liabilities include liabilities and accrued expenses owing by the Trust which are unpaid as at balance date. Thedistribution amount payable to unitholders as at the reporting date is recognised separately on the statement of financialposition when unitholders are presently entitied to the distributable income under the Trust Deed.
xii) Net assets/liabilities attributable to unitholders
The unitholders are entitled to the net assets/liabilities of the Trust following payment of Trust expenses, Manager fee,payments to swap providers or liquidity facility providers and interest expenses of the Trust. This net income payment mayfurther be subordinated to make good any principal shortfalls. Following all payments being made under the cash flowwaterfall, the income unitholders are entitled to any residual and this is classified as net assets/liabilities to unitholders.
Income not distributed is included in net assets/liabilities attributable to unitholders. Movements in net assets/liabilitiesattributable to unitholders are recognised in the income statement.
Where net liabilities exist these relate to swaps and this position is expected to reverse in the future.
xiii) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances with central banks, short-term amounts included in due from financial
institutions, bank accepted bills and negotiable certificates of deposits issued by a bank, with an original maturity of lessthan three months, included in Investment securities available for sale.
xiv) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported on the statement of financial position when there is a
legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise thefinancial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously.
xv) Rounding of amounts
Amounts in the Financial Report have been rounded off to the nearest dollar unless otherwise indicated.

Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report, ofPUMA MASTERFUND P-16 (the "trust"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at31 March 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in net assetsattributable to unitholders and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, a summary ofsignificant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the trustees' declaration.
The responsibility of the directors of the manager for the financial report
The directors of the manager of the trust, Macquarie Securitisation Limited, are responsible for thepreparation and fair presentation of the. financial report and have determined that the accountingpolicies described in Note 1 to the financial statements, which form part of the financial report, areappropriate to meet the requirements of the trust deed dated 21 December 2007. The responsibilityof the directors of the manager also includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevantto the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting
policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor's responsibilty
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. No opinion isexpressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate tomeet the needs of the unitholders. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian AuditingStandards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirementsrelating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts anddisclosures in the financial report.
