PART 1
INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE
WSM incorporates by reference its periodic filings of Form 6-K, which
contain all financial information relating to the Trust relevant to the
holders of the Notes (the "Noteholders").
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
This Annual Report on Form 20-F is filed with respect to the Trust by
WSM, as Trust Manager (the "Trust Manager") for the Series 1998-1G WST
Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust Manager of the Trust was appointed as such
pursuant to a Master Trust Deed, (the "MTD"). The MTD is governed by the
laws of New South Wales, Australia. The MTD, provides inter alia for the
creation of trusts. The trusts are created to purchase inter alia
residential housing loan portfolios ("Housing Loans") which have been
originated by Westpac Banking Corporation ("Westpac"), such as the Housing
Loans in the Trust.
WSM is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Westpac and its
principal office is located at Level 4, 60 Martin Place, Sydney, New South
Wales 2000, Australia.
PROPERTY
WSM, under an office sharing arrangement with Westpac, occupies its
principal and only office at Level 4, 60 Martin Place in Sydney, New South
Wales 2000, Australia.
A Statement of Compliance, executed by a director of WSM is filed
herewith as Exhibit 1. Such statement certifies that WSM, as Trust Manager,
has complied with all conditions and covenants under the transaction
documents (the "Transaction Documents") for the issuance of the Notes by
the Trust.
Pursuant to Section 11.1(j) of the Note Trust Deed dated as of June 10,
1998 (the "Deed"), between Westpac Securities Administration Limited,
as Trustee (the "Issuer Trustee"); WSM, as Trust Manager; Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, London Office, as Note Trustee; and Morgan
Guaranty Trust Company of New York, London Office, as Principal Payment
Agent, the Issuer Trustee must deliver, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Trust, a Statement of Compliance (the "Compliance
Statement"). The Compliance Statement must inter alia, comply with Section
314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and certify that the Issuer
Trustee has complied with all conditions and covenants under the
Transaction Documents or if there has been a default in the compliance of
any such condition or covenant, specify each such default and its status.
The fiscal year end of the Trust is June 30th.
Pursuant to Section 11.1(j) of the Deed the obligation to deliver the
Compliance Statement commences with the end of the fiscal year June 30,
1999.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None
CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
"Control" as such term is normally defined is not applicable with
respect to WSM on the Trust. WSM is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
Westpac. Except in certain limited circumstances, the Noteholders have no
voting rights with respect to the operation or existence of the Trust. Such
limited circumstances are more fully described in the registration
1
<PAGE>
statement (the "Statement") filed in connection with the sale of the Notes,
Deed, MTD and Security Trust Deed, respectively, which deeds are attached as
exhibits to the Statement.
The Notes are currently represented by certificates registered in the
name of Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company.
Accordingly, Cede & Co. is the sole holder of record of the Notes, which it
held on behalf of approximately 21 brokers, dealers, banks and other direct
participants in the DTC system on December 22, 1998.
MARKET PRICE INFORMATION
The Notes are not traded on any nationally recognized exchange in the
United States.
EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS AFFECTING SECURITY HOLDERS
Under temporary Australian foreign exchange controls, payments to, or
on behalf of the:
1) Government of Iraq or to its agencies or nationals;
2) Authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and
Montenegro); or
3) Government of Libya or any public authority or controlled entity of
the Government of Libya or a public authority thereof,
may only be made with the approval of the Reserve Bank of Australia.
TAXATION
UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX
The following is a general discussion of the anticipated material
United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership and
disposition of Notes by a Noteholder who is subject to United States
federal income tax. The summary is based on laws, regulations, rulings and
decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change (possibly with
retroactive effect) or to different interpretation. The summary does not
purport to address federal income tax consequences applicable to particular
categories of investors, some of which (for example, insurance companies,
dealers in securities, financial institutions or foreign investors) may be
subject to special rules. In addition, this summary is generally limited to
Noteholders who hold the Notes as "capital assets" (generally, property
held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code"). Noteholders are urged to
consult their own tax advisors with regard to the application of the tax
considerations discussed below to their particular situations, as well as
the consequences to them under, state, local, non-United States and any
other tax law of the ownership and disposition of Notes, including the
advisability of making any election discussed below. The Issuer Trustee
will not be indemnified for any United States federal income taxes that may
be imposed upon it, and the imposition of any such taxes on the Trust could
result in a reduction in the amounts available for distribution to the
holders of Notes.
General
Each Noteholder is required to report on its federal income tax
return interest income on Notes held by it in accordance with such holder's
method of accounting.
2
<PAGE>
Sales of Notes
The tax basis of a Noteholder is equal to the cost of the Note,
reduced by any amortized premium (as described below) and any payments
other than interest made on the Note and increased by any market discount
or original issue discount included in such holder's income. A Noteholder
that sells a Note will recognize gain or loss (in the aggregate) in an
amount equal to the difference between its adjusted tax basis in the Note
and the amount realized on the sale (except to the extent attributable to
accrued interest, which should be taxable as interest income). Subject to
the market discount provisions of the Code (described below), any such gain
or loss will be capital gain or loss if the Note was held as a capital
asset and, if the Note was held for more than one year, will be long-term
capital gain or loss. In the case of an individual taxpayer, any capital
gain on the sale of a Note will be taxed at a maximum rate of 39.6% if the
Note is held for not more than 12 months and at 20% if the Note is held for
more than 12 months. Any capital losses realized will be deductible by a
corporate taxpayer only to the extent of capital gains and by an individual
taxpayer only to the extent of capital gains plus U.S. $3,000 of other
income.
Market Discount
A purchaser of a Note is considered to have acquired the Note at
a "market discount" to the extent the remaining principal amount of such
Note exceeds the holder's tax basis in such Note, unless the excess does
not exceed a prescribed de minimis amount. In the event such excess exceeds
the de minimis amount, the Noteholder will be subject to the market discount
rules of Sections 1276 and 1278 of the Code with regard to such Note.
In the case of a sale or other disposition of a Note subject to the
market discount rules, Section 1276 of the Code requires that gain, if any,
from such sale or disposition be treated as ordinary income to the extent
such gain represents market discount that has accrued during the period in
which the Note was held by such holder.
Generally, market discount accrues under a straight-line method, or, at
the election of the taxpayer, under a constant interest rate method.
However, in the case of bonds the principal of which may be paid in two or
more installments (such as the Notes), the manner in which market discount
is to be accrued will be described in Treasury regulations that have yet to
be issued. Until such Treasury regulations are issued, the explanatory
conference committee Report to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the " Conference
Report") indicates that holders of such obligations may elect to accrue
market discount either on the basis of a constant interest rate or as
follows: (1) for those obligations that have original issue discount
("OID"), market discount shall be deemed to accrue in proportion to the
accrual of OID for any accrual period, and (2) for those obligations which
do not have OID, the amount of market discount that is deemed to accrue is
the amount of market discount that bears the same ratio to the total amount
of remaining market discount that the amount of stated interest paid in the
accrual period bears to the total amount of stated interest remaining to be
paid on the obligation as of the beginning of such period.
Under Section 1277 of the Code, if in any taxable year interest paid or
accrued by a holder on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or
carry a Note subject to the market discount rules exceeds the interest
(including OID) currently includible in income with respect to such Note,
deductions of such interest must be deferred to extent of the market
discount allowable to the taxable year. The deferred portion of any
interest expense will generally be deductible when such market discount is
included in income upon the sale or other disposition (including repayment)
of the indebtedness.
Section 1278 of the Code allows a taxpayer to make an election to
include market discount in its gross income currently. If such election is
made, the rules of Sections 1276 and 1277 of the Code (described above)
will not apply to the taxpayer.
DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE MARKET DISCOUNT RULES, NOTEHOLDERS ARE
URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE APPLICABILITY AND OPERATION
OF THE MARKET DISCOUNT RULES.
Premium
A Noteholder will generally be considered to have acquired a Note at a
premium to the extent the Noteholder's tax basis in such Note exceeds the
remaining principal amount of such Note. In that event, a Noteholder who holds
a Note as a capital asset may amortize the premium as an offset to interest
income under Section 171 of the Code, with corresponding reductions in the
3
<PAGE>
holder's tax basis in the Note if an election under Section 171 of the Code
is or has been made with respect to all debt instruments held by the
taxpayer (including the Notes).
Backup Withholding
A Noteholder may be subject, under certain circumstances, to backup
withholding at a 31% rate with respect to "reportable payments" on the
Notes. This withholding generally applies only if the holder (i) fails to
provide the Noteholder's social security or other taxpayer identification
number ("TIN"); (ii) furnishes an incorrect TIN; (iii) is notified by the
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS" or the "Service") that the Noteholder
has failed to report properly payments of interest and dividends and the
Service has notified the Issuer Trustee that the Noteholder is subject to
backup withholding; or (iv) fails, under certain circumstances, to provide
a certified statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that the TIN
provided is the Noteholder's correct number and that the Noteholder is not
subject to backup withholding. Any amount withheld from payment to a holder
under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a credit against such
Noteholder's federal income tax liability, provided that the required
information is furnished to the Service. Certain Noteholders (including,
among others, corporations and foreign individuals who comply with certain
certification requirements) are not subject to backup withholding.
Noteholders should consult their tax advisors as to their qualifications
for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such
an exemption.
Australian Taxation
Payments of Principal, Premiums and Interest. Under existing Australian
tax law, non-resident Noteholders or holders of interests in any Note
(other than persons holding such securities or interest as part of a
business carried on, at or through a permanent establishment in Australia
(an "Australian Establishment")) are not subject to Australian income tax
on payments of interest or amounts in the nature of interest, including,
subject to the fulfillment of all conditions required by section 128F of
the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (the "Tax Act") as set forth
below, interest rate witholding tax. Under Article 11 of the 1983 United
States-Australia Tax Treaty, the maximum Australian withholding rate on
interest paid to United States residents who are entitled to the benefit of
such Treaty is 10%. Under Australian law, the withholding rates for
payments to other jurisdictions is currently 10% on interest or amounts in
the nature of interest paid on the Notes. A premium on redemption would
generally be treated as an amount in the nature of interest for this
purpose.
Pursuant to section 128F of the Tax Act, an exemption from Australian
interest withholding tax applies provided all prescribed conditions are
met. Such conditions include the issue of the Notes in a way that satisfies
an objective public offer test. The Issuer Trustee will seek to issue the
Notes in a way that will satisfy such test and otherwise meet the
requirements of section 128F including by listing the Notes.
The test will not be satisfied if the Issuer Trustee knew, or had
reasonable grounds to suspect, that the Notes were being or would later be
acquired either directly or indirectly by:
(1) a resident of Australia for the purpose of section 128F of the
Tax Act; or
(2) an associate of the Issuer Trustee within the meaning of section 128F
of the Tax Act, other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or
underwriter in relation to the placement of an Note.
The exemption from Australian withholding tax will also not apply to
interest paid by the Issuer Trustee to an associate of the Issuer Trustee
within the meaning of section 128F if, at the time of the payment, the
Issuer Trustee knows, or has reasonable grounds to suspect, that the person
is an associate.
However it should be noted that legislation has recently been
introduced into Parliament which should allow Australian residents to
acquire the Notes without breaching the public offer test for section 128F
of the Tax Act.
4
<PAGE>
Profit on Sale. Under current Australian law, non-resident holders of
Notes will not be subject to Australian income tax on profits derived from
the sale or disposal of Notes (but see below for discussion of Australia's
capital gains provisions):
(1) if the profits do not have an Australian source; or
(2) where the profits do have an Australian source, if the holder is
resident in a country with which Australia has entered into a double tax
treaty, is entitled to the benefit of that treaty and the profits are
business profits for the purposes of the treaty which are not attributable
to a business carried on through an Australian Establishment.
The source of any profit on the disposal of Notes will depend on the
factual circumstances of the actual disposal. Where the Notes are acquired
and disposed of pursuant to contractual arrangements entered into and
concluded outside Australia, and the seller and the purchaser are
non-residents of Australia and do not have an Australian Establishment, the
profit should not have an Australian source. There are, however, specific
withholding tax rules that can apply to treat a portion of the sale price
of Notes as interest for withholding tax purposes (and which amounts are
not covered by the exemption conditions in section 128F). These rules can
apply when:
(1) Notes are sold for an amount in excess of their issue price prior
to maturity; or
(2) Notes are sold to an Australian resident in connection with a
"washing arrangement" (as defined in the Tax Act).
Under provisions for the taxation of capital gains, non-resident
holders of Notes would be subject to Australian tax on profits derived from
the sale or disposal of Notes if the Notes were at any time prior to the
sale or disposal held as part of a business carried on through an
Australian Establishment.
Other Taxes. No stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes are
payable in Australia in connection with the issue of the Notes.
Furthermore, a transfer of, or agreement to transfer, Notes executed
outside of Australia will not be subject to Australian stamp duty.
SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
WSM incorporates by reference the following quarterly Noteholders
Reports, filed on Form 6-K, which include all financial information
relating to the Trust that is relevant to Noteholders:
Noteholders Report for the July 20, 1998 Payment Date
Noteholders Report for the October 19, 1998 Payment Date
MARKET RISKS
Risks of Currency Exchange Controls
Interest and principal payments to holders of Notes are paid in United
States dollars ("U.S. dollars"). However payments on the Housing Loans are
received by the Issuer Trustee, in Australian dollars, in Australia (the
"Collections"). Pursuant to certain swap agreements (the "Swap Agreements")
the Issuer Trustee is required to pay a portion of the Collections to
certain swap counterpartys (the "Currency Swap Providers") who in turn pays
("Swap Currency Exchange"), at the direction of the Issuer Trustee, U.S.
dollars to the Noteholders, (the "Currency Swap") It is possible that in
the future Australia may impose exchange controls that affect the
availability of Australian dollar payments for making payments under the
Currency Swap. The holders of the Notes will bear the risk of the
imposition of foreign exchange controls by the Australian government that
impact upon the Issuer Trustee's ability to exchange the Collections for
U.S. dollars. The Issuer Trustee has no control over such risk, which will
generally be affected by economic and political events in Australia. If the
Issuer Trustee does not pay some or all the amount in Australian dollars
which it is required to pay the Currency Swap Provider under the Currency
Swap, the Currency Swap Provider is only required to pay the U.S. dollar
equivalent of the amounts it actually receives. In such event, it is
unlikely that the Trust would have sufficient U.S. dollars to make the
payments due on the Notes.
5
<PAGE>
Risks Related to a Termination of the Swap Agreements
By entering into the Swap Agreements, the Trust has transferred to an
Interest Rate Swap Counterparty, (the "Interest Rate Swap Provider") and
the Currency Swap Providers, as applicable, the risks set forth below that
the Trust would otherwise have with respect to the Notes and the Housing
Loans.
(a) Currency Exchange Risk.
Interest and principal on the Notes is payable in U.S. dollars and the
Trust's primary source for funding its payments on the Notes is its
Collections on the Housing Loans, which will be sourced in Australian
dollars. If the Currency Swap Provider were to fail to perform under the
Currency Swap or were to be discharged from such performance because of a
default thereunder by the Trust, the Trust might have to exchange its
Australian dollars for U.S. dollars at an exchange rate that is less
favorable to the Trust than when there was the Swap Currency Exchange and
might therefore not have sufficient U.S. dollars to make timely payments
on the Notes, even though the delinquency and loss experience on the
Housing Loans may be acceptable.
(b) Risks specific to the Variable Rate Basis Swap.
The basis risk between the floating rate obligations of the Trust
(including interest payable on the Notes) and the variable administered
rates set by Westpac in relation to the Housing Loans is hedged by
means of a swap (the "Variable Rate Basis Swap"). Pursuant to the
Variable Rate Basis Swap, Westpac, as the Variable Rate Basis Swap
counterparty, pays the Trust each quarter the three month Bank Bill
Rate (the "Bank Bill Rate") plus a fixed margin and receives from the
Trust, the weighted average variable housing rate. The Bank Bill Rate
is the rate calculated by taking the rates quoted on the Reuters Screen
BBSW Page at approximately 10:00 a.m. Sydney, Australia time for the
applicable date, for certain banks (each a "Reference Bank") so quoting
(but no fewer than five) as being the mean buying and selling note for
a bill (which for the purpose of this definition means a bill of
exchange of the type specified for the purpose of quoting on the
Reuters Screen BBSW page), having a tenor of 90 days eliminating the
highest and lowest mean rates and taking the average of the remaining
mean rates and then if necessary rounding the resultant figure upwards
to four decimal places. The margin is fixed for the life of the swap
and has been set having regard for the ongoing expenses of the Trust.
If Westpac is downgraded below A1+/A2 and fails to provide eligible
collateral or arrange for a suitable alternative swap provider, it will
be a Termination Event under the terms of the applicable Swap Agreement.
If the Variable Rate Basis Swap is terminated, WSM is required to
calculate each month the minimum interest rate required to be set on
the variable rate Housing Loans in order to cover amounts payable by
the Issuer Trustee including payments to the holders of the Notes (the
"Threshold Rate"). In this situation, the Housing Loan rates may be set
at above market interest rates on the variable housing loans to meet
Trust expenses which could result in the affected borrowers refinancing
their loan with another bank, which in turn could cause holders of
Notes to experience higher rates of principal repayment on the Notes
than anticipated.
6
<PAGE>
(c) Risks Specific to the Fixed Rate Swaps.
Two fixed rate swaps (the "Fixed Rate Swaps") are used to hedge the
interest rate risk between the floating rate obligations of the Trust
(including interest payable on the Notes) and the discretionary fixed
rate set by Westpac, as the Fixed Rate Swap counterparty, on those
Housing Loans being charged a fixed rate of interest (a "Fixed Rate").
A Housing Loan is being charged a "Concessional Fixed Rate" when it has
a fixed rate of interest for the first 12 months, which converts to the
standard variable rate after that period. Loans subject to a
Concessional Fixed Rate are included under the Variable Rate Basis
Swap. An amortizing Fixed Rate Swap was entered into as at the closing
date (the "Closing Date") for the sales of the Notes, to hedge that
portion of the pool earning a Fixed Rate of interest as at the date the
pool of Housing Loans to be sold to the Trust was formed. The Issuer
Trustee pays the applicable daily weighted average fixed rate and
receives the three-month Bank Bill Rate plus a fixed margin. The margin
is fixed for the life of the swap and has been set based on the actual
margin on the underlying Fixed Rate Housing Loans and the prevailing
market rate existing on the Closing Date. A further Fixed Rate Basis
Swap has been entered into to hedge the interest rate risk occurring
when the borrowers switch from a variable rate of interest to a fixed
rate of interest. Under the second Fixed Rate Basis Swap, the Issuer
Trustee pays the applicable daily weighted average fixed rate and
receives the three month Bank Bill Rate plus a fixed margin. The margin
is fixed for the life of the swap.
If Westpac is downgraded below A1+/A2 and fails to provide eligible
collateral or arrange for a suitable alternative swap provider, it will be
a Termination Event under the terms of the applicable Swap Agreement only
at the discretion of Issuer Trustee at the direction of WSM. If the swap
remains in place, the Rating Agencies may consider downgrading the Notes
and an investor may then be holding Notes which have been downgraded. If
the swap is terminated, the holders of the Notes is exposed to the risk of
the possible narrowing of the spread between the customer rate applicable
on the Housing Loans and the floating rate obligations of the Trust
(including the interest on the Notes).
