# Item 1. BUSINESS

# OVERVIEW

The CurrencySharesSM
Australian Dollar Trust (the Trust) is a grantor trust that was formed on June
8, 2006. The Trust issues shares (the Shares) in blocks of 50,000 (a
Basket) in exchange for deposits of Australian Dollars and distributes
Australian Dollars in connection with the redemption of Baskets. The Shares trade on NYSE
Arca under the ticker symbol FXA.

The investment objective of the Trust
is for the Shares to reflect the price of Australian Dollars plus accrued interest, less
the expenses of the Trusts operations. The Shares are intended to offer investors an
opportunity to participate in the market for the Australian Dollar through an investment
in securities. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with
a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding
the Australian Dollar. The Shares are bought and sold on NYSE Arca like any other
exchange-listed security. The Shares are backed by the assets of the Trust, which does not
hold or use derivative products. The value of the holdings of the Trust is reported on the
Trusts website, www.currencyshares.com, every business day.

# THE TRUST

General

The Trust holds Australian Dollars
and, from time to time, issues Baskets in exchange for deposits of Australian Dollars and
distributes Australian Dollars in connection with redemptions of Baskets. The Australian
Dollars held by the Trust will be sold only (1) if needed to pay Trust expenses, (2) in
the event the Trust terminates and liquidates its assets or (3) as otherwise required by
law or regulation.

The
Sponsor

The Sponsor of the Trust generally
oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trusts principal service providers,
but does not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the Trusts service
providers. The Sponsor is Rydex Specialized Products LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company.

The Trusts only ordinary
recurring expense is the Sponsors fee. The Sponsor is responsible for payment of the
following administrative and marketing expenses of the Trust: the Trustees monthly
fee, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository, NYSE listing fees, NYSE
Arca listing fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, up to $100,000 per
annum in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees. The Sponsor also paid the
costs of the Trusts organization and the costs of the initial sale of the Shares,
including the applicable SEC registration fees. The Sponsors fee accrues daily at an
annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Australian Dollars in the Trust. The Sponsor was paid
$273,137 for the period covered by this report.

The
Trustee

The Bank of New York, a banking
corporation with trust powers organized under the laws of the State of New York, serves as
the Trustee. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust,
including keeping the Trusts operational records.

Net
Asset Value

The Trustee calculates, and the
Sponsor publishes, the Trusts Net Asset Value (NAV) each business day.
To calculate the NAV, the Trustee adds to the amount of Australian Dollars in the Trust at
the end of the preceding day accrued but unpaid interest, Australian Dollars receivable
under pending purchase orders and the value of other Trust assets, and subtracts the
accrued but unpaid Sponsors fee, Australian Dollar payable under pending redemption
orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any. The NAV is expressed in U.S.
Dollars (USD) based on the Noon Buying Rate, which is the
USD/Australian Dollar exchange rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
as of 12:00 PM (New York time) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading. If,
on a particular evaluation day, the Noon Buying Rate has not been determined and announced
by 2:00 PM (New York time), then the most recent Noon Buying Rate is used to determine the
NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that
such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for such valuation.

1

---

The Trustee also determines the NAV
per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares.
The NAV of the Trust and NAV per Share is published by the Sponsor on each day that NYSE
Arca is open for regular trading and is posted on the Trusts website,
www.currencyshares.com.

Depository
and Deposit Accounts

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London
Branch is the Depository. The Depository maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a
primary deposit account which earns interest and a secondary deposit account which does
not earn interest (collectively, the Deposit Accounts). Interest on the
primary deposit account accrues daily and is paid monthly. If the Sponsor believes that
the interest rate paid by the Depository is not competitive, the Sponsors recourse
is to remove the Depository by terminating the Deposit Account Agreement and closing the
accounts. The Depository is not paid a fee for its services to the Trust. The Depository
earns a spread or margin over the rate of interest it pays to the
Trust on the Australian Dollar deposit balances.

The secondary deposit account is used
to account for interest received and paid out on creations and redemptions of Baskets. The
secondary deposit account is also used to account for interest earned on the primary
deposit account, pay Trust expenses and distribute any excess interest to Shareholders on
a monthly basis. In the event that the interest deposited exceeds the sum of the
Sponsors fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, then the Trustee
will direct that the excess be converted into USD at a prevailing market rate and the
Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro rata
basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own).

Trust
Expenses

In certain exceptional cases the
Trust may pay expenses in addition to the Sponsors fee. These exceptions include
expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of
any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust
or action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of
Shareholders, indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and
legal expenses in excess of $100,000 per year.

Termination

The Trust will terminate upon the
occurrence of any of the termination events listed in the Depositary Trust Agreement and
will otherwise terminate onJune 8, 2046.

THE SHARES

General

Each Share represents a proportional
interest, based on the total number of Shares outstanding, in the Australian Dollars owned
by the Trust, plus accrued and unpaid interest less accrued but unpaid expenses (both
asset-based and non-asset based) of the Trust. All Shares are of the same class with equal
rights and privileges. Each Share is transferable, fully paid and non-assessable.

Limited
Rights

The Shares are not a traditional
investment. They are dissimilar from the shares of a corporation operating a
business enterprise, with management and a board of directors. Trust Shareholders do not
have rights normally associated with owning shares of a business corporation, including,
for example, the right to bring oppression or derivative actions.
Shareholders have only those rights explicitly set forth in the Depositary Trust
Agreement. The Shares do not entitle their holders to any conversion or pre-emptive rights
or, except as provided herein, any redemption or distribution rights.

2

---

Voting
and Approvals

Shareholders have no voting rights
under the Depositary Trust Agreement, except in limited circumstances. If the holders of
at least 25% of the Shares outstanding determine that the Trustee is in material breach of
its obligations under the Depositary Trust Agreement, they may provide written notice to
the Trustee (or require the Sponsor to do so) specifying the default and requiring the
Trustee to cure such default. If the Trustee fails to cure such breach within 30 days
after receipt of the notice, the Sponsor may remove the Trustee. The holders of at least
66 2/3% of the Shares outstanding may vote to remove the Trustee. The Trustee must
terminate the Trust at the request of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding
Shares.

Creation
and Redemption of Shares

The creation and redemption of
Baskets requires the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount
of Australian Dollars represented by the Baskets being created or redeemed. This amount is
based on the combined NAV per Share of the number of Shares included in the Baskets being
created or redeemed, determined on the day the order to create or redeem Baskets is
accepted by the Trustee.

Only Authorized Participants may
place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a Depository Trust
Company participant that is a registered broker-dealer or other securities market
participant, such as a bank or other financial institution that is not required to
register as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions and has entered into a
Participant Agreement with the Trustee.

Before initiating a creation or
redemption order, an Authorized Participant must have entered into a Participant Agreement
with the Sponsor and the Trustee. The Participant Agreement provides the procedures for
the creation and redemption of Baskets and for the delivery of Australian Dollars required
for creations and redemptions. The Participant Agreements may be amended by the Trustee
and the Sponsor. Authorized Participants pay a transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee for
each order that they place to create or redeem one or more Baskets. Authorized
Participants who make deposits with the Trust in exchange for Baskets receive no fees,
commissions or other form of compensation or inducement of any kind from either the
Sponsor or the Trust. No Authorized Participant has any obligation or responsibility to
the Sponsor or the Trust to effect any sale or resale of Shares.

# Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the
risks described below before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the
other information included in this report, including the Trusts financial statements
and the related notes.

The value of the Shares relates
directly to the value of the Australian Dollars held by the Trust. Fluctuations in the
price of the Australian Dollar could materially and adversely affect the value of the
Shares.

The Shares are designed to reflect
the price of the Australian Dollar, plus accumulated interest, less the Trusts
expenses. The price of the Australian Dollar has fluctuated widely over the past several
years. Several factors may affect the price of the Australian Dollar, including:

| | Debt
level and trade deficit of Australia;
|- | ------------------------------------------

| | Inflation
rates of the United States and Australia and investors expectations concerning inflation
rates;
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Interest
rates of the United States and Australia and investors expectations concerning interest
rates;
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Investment
and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and currency funds; and
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Global
or regional political, economic or financial events and situations.
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the Australian Dollar
may not maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. When the
price of the Australian Dollar declines, the Sponsor expects the price of a Share to
decline as well.

3

---

The USD/Australian Dollar exchange
rate, like foreign exchange rates in general, can be volatile and difficult to predict.
This volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.

Foreign exchange rates are influenced
by the factors identified immediately above and may also be influenced by: changing supply
and demand for a particular currency; monetary policies of governments (including exchange
control programs, restrictions on local exchanges or markets and limitations on foreign
investment in a country or on investment by residents of a country in other countries);
changes in balances of payments and trade; trade restrictions; and currency devaluations
and revaluations. Also, governments from time to time intervene in the currency markets,
directly and by regulation, in order to influence prices directly. These events and
actions are unpredictable. The resulting volatility in the USD/Australian Dollar exchange
rate could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.

If interest earned by the Trust
does not exceed expenses, the Trustee will withdraw Australian Dollars from the Trust to
pay these excess expenses which will reduce the amount of Australian Dollars represented
by each Share on an ongoing basis and may result in adverse tax consequences.

Each outstanding Share represents a
fractional, undivided interest in the Australian Dollar held by the Trust. Although the
Trust generates interest, it is possible that the amount of interest earned may not exceed
expenses, in which case the Trustee will withdraw Australian Dollar from the Trust to pay
these excess expenses. As a result, the amount of Australian Dollars represented by each
Share may gradually decline over time. This is true even if additional Shares are issued
in exchange for additional deposits of Australian Dollars into the Trust, as the amount of
Australian Dollar required to create Shares will proportionately reflect the amount of
Australian Dollars represented by the Shares outstanding at the time of creation. Assuming
a constant Australian Dollar price, if expenses exceed interest earned, the trading price
of the Shares will gradually decline relative to the price of Australian Dollar as the
amount of Australian Dollars represented by the Shares gradually declines. In this event,
the Shares will only maintain their original price if the price of Australian Dollars
increases.

Investors should be aware that a
gradual decline in the amount of Australian Dollars represented by the Shares may occur
regardless of whether the trading price of the Shares rises or falls in response to
changes in the price of Australian Dollars The estimated ordinary operating expenses of
the Trust, which accrue daily, are described in Business  The Trust
 Trust Expenses.

The payment of expenses by the Trust
will result in a taxable event to Shareholders.  To the extent Trust expenses exceed
interest paid to the Trust, a gain or loss may be recognized by Shareholders depending on
the tax basis of the tendered Australian Dollars.

If the Trust incurs expenses in
USD, the Trust is required to sell Australian Dollars to pay these expenses. The sale of
the Trusts Australian Dollars to pay expenses in USD at a time of low Australian
Dollar prices could adversely affect the value of the Shares.

The Trustee will sell Australian
Dollars held by the Trust if necessary to pay Trust expenses if any incurred in USD,
irrespective of then-current Australian Dollar prices. The Trust is not actively managed
and no attempt will be made to buy or sell Australian Dollar to protect against or to take
advantage of fluctuations in the price of Australian Dollars. Consequently, the
Trusts Australian Dollars may be sold at a time when the Australian Dollar price is
low, resulting in a negative effect on the value of the Shares.

Purchasing activity in the
Australian Dollar market associated with the purchase of Baskets from the Trust may cause
a temporary increase in the price of Australian Dollars. This increase may adversely
affect an investment in the Shares.

Purchasing activity associated with
acquiring the Australian Dollar required for deposit into the Trust in connection with the
creation of Baskets may temporarily increase the market price of Australian Dollars, which
will result in higher prices for the Shares. Temporary increases in the market price of
Australian Dollars may also occur as a result of the purchasing activity of other market
participants. Other market participants may attempt to benefit from an increase in the
market price of Australian Dollars that may result from increased purchasing activity of
Australian Dollars connected with the issuance of Baskets. Consequently, the market price
of Australian Dollars may decline immediately after Baskets are created. If the price of
Australian Dollars declines, then it is anticipated that the trading price of the Shares
will also decline. In addition, if the Trust experiences a significant increase in its
expenses due to an unexpected event, then it is anticipated that the unexpected expenses
would reduce the NAV of the Trust, which would cause the trading price of the Shares to
decline even if the price of Australian Dollars did not decline.

The Deposit Accounts are not
entitled to payment at any office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. located in the United
States.

The federal laws of the United States
prohibit banks located in the United States from paying interest on unrestricted demand
deposit accounts. Therefore, payments out of the Deposit Accounts will be payable only at
the London branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., located in England. The Trustee will not
be entitled to demand payment of these accounts at any office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
that is located in the United States. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will not be required to
repay the deposit if its London branch cannot repay the deposit due to an act of war,
insurrection or civil strife or an action by a foreign government or instrumentality
(whether de jure or de facto) in England.

Shareholders do not have the
protections associated with ownership of a demand deposit account insured in the United
States by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation nor the full protection provided for
bank deposits under English law.

Neither the Shares nor the Deposit
Accounts and the Australian Dollar deposited in them are a deposit insured against loss by
the FDIC or any other federal agency. Deposits may have only limited protection under the
Financial Services Compensation Scheme of England.

Australian Dollars deposited in
the Deposit Accounts by an Authorized Participant are commingled with Australian Dollars
deposited by other Authorized Participants and are held by the Depository in either the
primary deposit account or the secondary deposit account of the Trust. Australian Dollars
held in the Deposit Accounts are not segregated from the Depositorys other assets.
If the Depository becomes insolvent, then its assets might not be adequate to satisfy a
claim by the Trust or any Authorized Participant. In addition, in the event of the
insolvency of the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch, there may be a
delay and costs incurred in recovering the Australian Dollars held in the Deposit
Accounts.

The Trust has no proprietary rights
in or to any specific Australian Dollars held by the Depository and will be an unsecured
creditor of the Depository with respect to the Australian Dollars held in the Deposit
Accounts in the event of the insolvency of the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is
a branch. In the event the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch becomes
insolvent, the Depositorys assets might not be adequate to satisfy a claim by the
Trust or any Authorized Participant for the amount of Australian Dollars deposited by the
Trust or the Authorized Participant, in such event, the Trust and any Authorized
Participant will generally have no right in or to assets other than those of the
Depository.

In the case of insolvency of the
Depository or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the U.S. bank of which the Depository is a
branch, a liquidator may seek to freeze access to the Australian Dollars held in all
accounts by the Depository, including the Deposit Accounts. The Trust and the Authorized
Participants could incur expenses and delays in connection with asserting their claims.
These problems would be exacerbated by the reality that the Deposit Accounts will not be
held in the U.S. but instead will be held at the London branch of a U.S. national bank,
where it will be subject to English insolvency law. Further, under U.S. law, in the case
of the insolvency of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the claims of creditors in respect of
accounts (such as the Trusts Deposit Accounts) that are maintained with an overseas
branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will be subordinate to claims of creditors in respect
of accounts maintained with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in the U.S., greatly increasing the
risk that the Trust and the Trusts beneficiaries would suffer a loss.

Shareholders do not have the
protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Investment Company Act is
designed to protect investors by preventing: insiders from managing investment companies
to their benefit and to the detriment of public investors; the issuance of securities
having inequitable or discriminatory provisions; the management of investment companies by
irresponsible persons; the use of unsound or misleading methods of computing earnings and
asset value; changes in the character of investment companies without the consent of
investors; and investment companies from engaging in excessive leveraging. To accomplish
these ends, the Investment Company Act requires the safekeeping and proper valuation of
fund assets, restricts greatly transactions with affiliates, limits leveraging, and
imposes governance requirements as a check on fund management. The Investment Company Act
applies to a range of investment company structures, but, in practice, primarily regulates
a company holding a portfolio of investment securities such as publicly traded stocks,
bonds and money market instruments: selected by an affiliated investment adviser pursuant
to the companys stated investment objectives, policies, restrictions, strategies and

The Trust is not registered as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act and is not required to register under
that Act. Consequently, Shareholders do not have the regulatory protections afforded to
investors in registered investment companies.

Shareholders do not have the
rights enjoyed by investors in certain other financial instruments.

As interests in a grantor trust, the
Shares have none of the statutory rights normally associated with the ownership of shares
of a business corporation, including, for example, the right to bring
oppression or derivative actions. Apart from the rights afforded
to them by federal and state securities laws, Shareholders have only those rights relative
to the Trust, the Trust property and the Shares that are set forth in the Depositary Trust
Agreement. In this connection, the Shareholders have limited voting and distribution
rights. They do not have the right to elect directors. See Business  The
Shares  Limited Rights for a description of the limited rights of the
Shareholders.

The Shares may trade at a price
which is at, above, or below the NAV per Share.

The NAV per Share fluctuates with
changes in the market value of the Trusts assets. The market price of Shares can be
expected to fluctuate in accordance with changes in the NAV per Share, but also in
response to market supply and demand. As a result, the Shares might trade at prices at,
above or below the NAV per Share.

The interest rate earned by the
Trust, although competitive, may not be the best rate available. If the Sponsor determines
that the interest rate is inadequate, then its sole recourse is to remove the Depository
and terminate the Deposit Accounts.

The Depository is committed to
endeavor to pay a competitive interest rate on the balance of Australian Dollars in the
primary deposit account of the Trust. Interest on the primary deposit account accrues
daily and is paid monthly. The Sponsor discloses the current interest rate on the
Trusts website. If the Sponsor believes that the interest rate paid by the
Depository is not adequate, the Sponsors sole recourse is to remove the Depository
and terminate the Deposit Accounts. The Depository will not be paid a fee for its services
to the Trust; rather, it will generate income or loss based on its ability to earn a
spread or margin over the interest it pays to the Trust by using
the Trusts Australian Dollars to make loans or in other banking operations. For
these reasons, you should not expect that the Trust will be paid the best available
interest rate at any time or over time.

The Depository owes no fiduciary
duties to the Trust or the Shareholders, is not required to act in their best interest and
could resign or be removed by the Sponsor, which would trigger early termination of the
Trust.

The Depository is not a trustee for
the Trust or the Shareholders. As stated above, the Depository is not obligated to
maximize the interest rate paid to the Trust. In addition, the Depository has no duty to
continue to act as the depository of the Trust. The Depository can terminate its role as
depository for any reason whatsoever upon 90 days notice to the Trust. Such a
termination might result, for example, if the Sponsor determines that the interest rate
paid by the Depository is inadequate. In the event that the Depository were to resign or
be removed, the Trust will be terminated.

# Shareholders may incur
significant fees upon the termination of the Trust.

The occurrence of any one of several
events would either require the Trust to terminate or permit the Sponsor to terminate the
Trust. For example, if the Depository were to resign or be removed, then the Sponsor would
be required to terminate the Trust. Shareholders tendering their Shares within 90 days of
the Trusts termination will receive the amount of Australian Dollars represented by
their Shares. Shareholders may incur significant fees if they choose to convert the
Australian Dollars they receive to U.S. Dollars.

Redemption orders are subject to
rejection by the Trustee under certain circumstances.

The Trustee will reject a redemption
order if the order is not in proper form as described in the Participant Agreement or if
the fulfillment of the order, in the opinion of its counsel, might be unlawful. Any such
rejection could adversely affect a redeeming Shareholder. For example, the resulting delay
would adversely affect the value of the Shareholders redemption distribution if the
NAV were to decline during the delay. In accordance with the Depositary Trust Agreement,
the Sponsor and the Trustee disclaim any liability for any loss or damage that may result
from any such rejection.

Substantial sales of Australian
Dollars by the official sector could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

The official sector consists of
central banks, other governmental agencies and multi-lateral institutions that buy, sell
and hold Australian Dollars as part of their reserve assets. The official sector holds a
significant amount of Australian Dollars that can be mobilized in the open market. In the
event that future economic, political or social conditions or pressures require members of
the official sector to sell their Australian Dollars simultaneously or in an uncoordinated
manner, the demand for Australian Dollars might not be sufficient to accommodate the
sudden increase in the supply of Australian Dollars to the market. Consequently, the price
of the Australian Dollar could decline, which would adversely affect an investment in the
Shares.

Shareholders that are not
Authorized Participants may only purchase or sell their Shares in secondary trading
markets.

Only Authorized Participants may
create or redeem Baskets of Shares through the Trust. All other investors that desire to
purchase or sell Shares must do so through NYSE Arca or in other markets, if any, in which
the Shares are traded.

The liability of the Sponsor and
the Trustee under the Depositary Trust Agreement is limited and, except as set forth in
the Depositary Trust Agreement, they are not obligated to prosecute any action, suit or
other proceeding in respect of any Trust property.

The Depositary Trust Agreement
provides that neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee assumes any obligation or is subject to
any liability under the Trust Agreement to any Shareholder, except that they each agree to
perform their respective obligations specifically set forth in the Depositary Trust
Agreement without negligence or bad faith. Additionally, neither the Sponsor nor the
Trustee is obligated to, although each may in its respective discretion, prosecute any
action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Trust property. The Depositary Trust
Agreement does not confer upon Shareholders the right to prosecute any such action, suit
or other proceeding.

The Depositary Trust Agreement may
be amended to the detriment of Shareholders without their consent.

The Sponsor and the Trustee may amend most
provisions (other than those addressing core economic rights) of the Depositary Trust
Agreement without the consent of any Shareholder. Such an amendment could impose or
increase fees or charges borne by the Shareholders. Any amendment that increases fees or
charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees or other
expenses), or that otherwise prejudices any substantial existing rights of Shareholders,
will not become effective until 30 days after written notice is given to Shareholders.

The License Agreement with The
Bank of New York may be terminated by The Bank of New York in the event of a material
breach. Termination of the License Agreement might lead to early termination and
liquidation of the Trust.

The Bank of New York
(BNY) and an affiliate of the Sponsor have entered into a License Agreement
granting the Sponsors affiliate a license to certain patent applications made by BNY
covering systems and methods for securitizing a commodity. The Sponsors affiliate
has sublicensed the license to the Sponsor. The license is limited to a non-exclusive
grant for the life of BNYs patents and patent applications. The License Agreement
provides that each of the parties may provide notice of intent to terminate the License
Agreement in the event the other party commits a material breach. If the License Agreement
is terminated and one or more of BNYs patent applications issue as patents, then BNY
may claim that the operation of the Trust violates its patent or patents and seek an
injunction forcing the Trust to cease operation and the Shares to cease trading. In that
case, the Trust might be forced to terminate and liquidate, which would adversely affect
Shareholders.

# Item 7.   MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

# MOVEMENTS IN THE PRICE
OF THE AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR

The investment objective of the Trust
is for the Shares to reflect the price of the Australian Dollars plus accrued interest,
less the expenses of the Trusts operations. The Shares are intended to provide
institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining
investment benefits similar to those of holding Australian Dollar. Each outstanding Share
represents a proportional interest in the Australian Dollar held by the Trust. The
following chart provides recent trends on the price of the Australian Dollar. The chart
illustrates movements in the price of the Australian Dollar in USD and is based on the
Noon Buying Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.



Historical values of the Noon Buying
Rate can be obtained at http://www.ny.frb.org/markets/fxrates/noon.cfm.

# NAV PER SHARE; VALUATION
OF THE AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR

The following chart illustrates the
movement in the price of the Shares based on NAV per Share and the bid and
ask midpoint offered on the NYSE (prior to October 30, 2007) and NYSE Arca (on
or after October 30, 2007) as of the Noon Buying Rate versus the corresponding Australian
Dollars (expressed as a multiple of 100 Australian Dollars  Noon Buying Rate x 100):

# LIQUIDITY

The Sponsor is not aware of any
trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material
changes to the Trusts liquidity needs. The Trusts Depository, JPMorgan Chase,
London branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account
that earns interest and a secondary deposit account that does not earn interest. Interest
on the primary deposit account accrues daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate paid
as of October 31, 2007 was an annual nominal rate of 5.68%. The following chart provides
the daily rate paid by the Depository since the Shares began trading on June 26, 2006:



11

---

In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor
bears most of the expense incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of
the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsors fee. Each month
the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest and
the Trustee withdraws Australian Dollars from the secondary deposit account to pay the
accrued Sponsors fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. When
the interest deposited exceeds the sum of the Sponsors fee for the prior month plus
other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at a prevailing
market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro
rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). Distributions paid
during the current reporting period follow (annualized yield reflects the estimated annual
yield an investor would receive if a monthly distribution stayed the same for the entire
year going forward, and is calculated by annualizing the monthly distribution and dividing
by the Trust NAV for the dates listed below):

|FXA Distribution History
|------------------------
|
|10/1/07                 
|9/4/07                  
|8/1/07                  

# CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires the Sponsors management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the period covered by the report.

In addition to the description below,
please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of
our accounting policies.

The Trustee calculates the
Trusts NAV each business day. For NAV calculation purposes, Australian Dollar
Deposits (cash) are translated at the Noon Buying Rate as determined and published by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of 12:00 PM (New York time) on each day that the NYSE
is open for regular trading. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Noon Buying Rate has
not been determined and announced by 2:00 PM (New York time), then the most recent Noon
Buying Rate is used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation
with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for such
valuation.

The functional currency of the Trust
is the Australian Dollar in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 52, Foreign
Currency Translation.

# RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Trust was formed on June 8, 2006
and the Shares commenced trading on June 26, 2006. The primary listing of the Shares was
transferred to NYSE Arca on October 30, 2007. As of October 31, 2006 the number of
Australian Dollars owned by the Trust was 15,000,000 resulting in a redeemable capital
share value of $11,665,784. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, 2,250,000
additional Shares were created in exchange for 225,000,000 Australian Dollars and 50,000
Shares were redeemed in exchange for 5,000,000 Australian Dollars. As of October 31, 2007
the number of Australian Dollars owned by the Trust was 235,000,000 resulting in a
redeemable capital share value of $218,914,789.

# Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of
CurrencySharesSM Australian Dollar Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying
statements of financial condition and the related statements of income and comprehensive
income, of changes in shareholders equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of CurrencySharesSM Australian Dollar Trust
(the Trust) at October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, and the results of its
operations, its changes in shareholders equity and its cash flows for the year ended
October 31, 2007 and for the period June 8, 2006 (commencement of operations) through
October 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Trust's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

# Notes to Financial
Statement

|1. | Organization
and Description of the Trust
|-- | -----------------------------------------

The CurrencySharesSM
Australian Dollar Trust (the Trust) was formed under the laws of the State of
New York on June 8, 2006 when Rydex Specialized Products LLC d/b/a Rydex
Investments (the Sponsor) deposited 100 Australian Dollars in the
Trusts primary deposit account held by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., London Branch (the
Depository). The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company whose sole
member is PADCO Advisors II, Inc. (also d/b/a Rydex Investments). The Sponsor
is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the performance of The Bank of New York
(the Trustee) and the Trusts principal service providers, including the
preparation of financial statements. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day
administration of the Trust.

The investment objective of the Trust
is for the Trusts shares (the Shares) to reflect the price of the
Australian Dollar plus accrued interest less the Trusts expenses and liabilities.
The Shares are intended to provide investors with a simple, cost-effective means of
gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Australian Dollars. The
Trusts assets primarily consist of Australian Dollars on demand deposit in two
deposit accounts maintained by the Depository: a primary deposit account which earns
interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn interest. The secondary
deposit account is used to account for interest received and paid out on creations and
redemptions of blocks of 50,000 Shares (Baskets). The secondary account is
also used to account for interest earned on the primary deposit account, pay Trust
expenses and distribute any excess interest to holders of Shares
(Shareholders) on a monthly basis.

The accompanying audited financial
statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

|2. | Significant
Accounting Policies
|-- | -------------------------------

| | A. | Use
of Estimates
| | -- | ----------------

The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of the assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| | B. | Foreign
Currency Translation
| | -- | ----------------------------

The Trustee calculates the
Trusts net asset value (NAV) each business day, as described in Note 4.
For NAV calculation purposes, Australian Dollar Deposits (cash) are translated at the Noon
Buying Rate, which is the U.S. Dollar (USD)/Australian Dollar exchange rate as
determined and published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of 12:00 PM (New York
time) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading.

The functional currency of the Trust
is the Australian Dollar in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard
(FAS) 52, Foreign Currency Translation. For financial statement reporting
purposes, the U.S. Dollar is the reporting currency. As a result, the financial statements
are translated from Australian Dollars to USD. The Noon Buying Rate on the last day of the
period is used for translation in the statements of financial condition. The average Noon
Buying Rate for the period is used for translation in the statement of income and
comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows. Any currency translation adjustment
is included in comprehensive income.

F-7

---

| | C. | Federal
Income Taxes
| | -- | --------------------

The Trust is treated as a
grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for
federal income taxes is required. Interest, gains and losses are passed
through to the Shareholders.

Shareholders generally will be
treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as if they directly owned a pro-rata share
of the assets held in the Trust. Shareholders also will be treated as if they directly
received their respective pro-rata shares of the Trusts income, if any, and as if
they directly incurred their respective pro-rata shares of the Trusts expenses. The
acquisition of Shares by a U.S. Shareholder as part of a creation of a Basket will not be
a taxable event to the Shareholder.

The Sponsors fee accrues daily
and is payable monthly. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, an accrual-basis U.S.
Shareholder generally will be required to take into account as an expense its allocable
share of the USD-equivalent of the amount of the Sponsors fee that is accrued on
each day, with such USD-equivalent being determined by the currency exchange rate that is
in effect on the respective day. To the extent that the currency exchange rate on the date
of payment of the accrued amount of the Sponsors fee differs from the currency
exchange rate in effect on the day of accrual, the U.S. Shareholder will recognize a
currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Trust does not expect to generate
taxable income except for gain (if any) upon the sale of Australian Dollars and interest
income. A non-U.S. Shareholder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax
with respect to gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of Shares, or upon the
sale of Australian Dollars by the Trust, unless: (1) the non-U.S. Shareholder is an
individual and is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable
year of the sale or other disposition, and the gain is treated as being from United States
sources; or (2) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S.
Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.

A non-U.S. Shareholders share
of any interest income earned by the Trust generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income tax unless the Shares owned by such non-U.S. Shareholder are effectively connected
with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.

| | D. | Revenue
Recognition
| | -- | -------------------

Interest on the primary deposit
account accrues daily as earned and is received on a monthly basis.

| | E. | Dividends
| | -- | ---------

To the extent that the interest earned
by the Trust exceeds the sum of the Sponsors fee for the prior month plus other
Trust expenses, if any, the Trust will distribute, as a dividend, the excess interest
earned in Australian Dollars effective on the first business day of the subsequent month.
The Trustee will direct that the excess Australian Dollars be converted into USD at the
prevailing market rate and the Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable
to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they
own). For the month of October 2007, an income distribution of $0.44850 per share was paid
on November 8, 2007.

|3. | Australian
Dollar Deposits
|-- | --------------------------

Australian Dollar principal deposits
are held in an Australian Dollar-denominated, interest-bearing demand account. For the
year ended October 31, 2007, there were Australian Dollar principal deposits of
225,000,000 and 5,000,000 Australian Dollar principal redemptions resulting in an ending
Australian Dollar principal balance of 235,000,000. This equates to 217,868,500 USD. For
the period from June 8, 2006 (Date of Inception) to October 31, 2006, there were
Australian Dollar principal deposits of 15,000,000 and Australian Dollar principal
redemptions of 100 resulting in an ending Australian Dollar principal balance of
15,000,000. This equated to 11,614,500 USD. In addition, net interest associated with
creation and redemption activity is held in an Australian Dollar-denominated
non-interest-bearing account, and any balance is distributed in full as part of the
monthly income distributions.

|4. | Redeemable
Capital Shares
|-- | -------------------------

Shares are classified as
redeemable for financial statement purposes, since they are subject to
redemption. Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in Baskets in exchange for
Australian Dollars. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct
transactions with the Trust. Only Authorized Participants (as defined below) may place
orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a DTC participant that
is a registered broker-dealer or other institution eligible to settle securities
transactions though the book-entry facilities of the DTC and which has entered into a
contractual arrangement with the Trust and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the
creation and redemption process. Authorized Participants may redeem their Shares at any
time in Baskets.

Due to expected continuing creations
and redemptions of Baskets and the three-day period for settlement of each creation or
redemption, the Trust reflects Shares created as a receivable. Shares redeemed are
reflected as a liability on the trade date. Outstanding Shares are reflected at a
redemption value, which is the NAV per Share at the period end date. Adjustments to
redeemable capital shares at redemption value are recorded against retained earnings, or,
in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against the cumulative translation
adjustment.

Activity in redeemable capital Shares
is as follows:

|                                   | Year ended
October 31, 2007 | Period from June 8, 2006

to October 31, 2006

|Shares redeemed                    |                             |

|                                   |                             |                                                                 
|Ending redemption balance          |                             |                                                                 
|                                   |                             |                                                                 

The Trustee will calculate the
Trusts NAV each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee will subtract the
Sponsors accrued fee through the previous day from the Australian Dollars held by
the Trust (including all unpaid interest accrued through the preceding day) and calculate
the value of the Australian Dollars in USD based upon the Noon Buying Rate. If, on a
particular evaluation day, the Noon Buying Rate has not been determined and announced by
2:00 PM (New York time), then the most recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York
determination of the Noon Buying Rate shall be used to determine the NAV of the Trust
unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is
inappropriate to use as the basis for such valuation. In the event that the Trustee and
the Sponsor determine that the most recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York determination
of the Noon Buying Rate is not an appropriate basis for valuation of the Trusts
Australian Dollars, they shall determine an alternative basis for such evaluation to be
employed by the Trustee. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the
NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares. Shares deliverable under a
purchase order are considered outstanding for purposes of determining NAV per Share;
Shares deliverable under a redemption order are not considered outstanding for this
purpose.

|5. | Sponsors
Fee
|-- | -------------

The Sponsors fee accrues daily
at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Australian Dollars in the Trust (including all
unpaid interest but excluding unpaid fees, each as accrued through the immediately
preceding day) and is paid monthly.

The Sponsor assumes and pays the
following administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust: the Trustees
monthly fee, NYSE Arca listing fees, SEC registration fees, typical maintenance and
transaction fees of the Depository, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses,
up to $100,000 per year in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees. The
Sponsor has also paid the costs of the Trusts organization and the initial sales of
the Shares, which were approximately $227,000 when the Trust was formed.

In certain exceptional cases the
Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsors fee. These exceptions
include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (i.e., expenses other than those identified in
the preceding paragraph), taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any
extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or
action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of
Shareholders, indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and
legal expenses in excess of $100,000 per year.

|6. | Related
Parties
|-- | ---------------

The Sponsor is a related party of the
Trust. The Sponsor oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trusts principal
service providers, including the preparation of financial statements, but does not
exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the Trusts service providers. The
Sponsor has paid the costs of the Trusts organization and the initial sales of the
Shares, as described in Note 5.

|7. | Concentration
Risk
|-- | ------------------

All of the Trusts assets are
Australian Dollars, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the
price of the Australian Dollar. Accordingly, a decline in the price of the Australian
Dollar to USD exchange rate will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares.
Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline in the price of the Australian
Dollar include national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and foreign inflation
rates, domestic and foreign interest rates, investment and trading activities of
institutions and global or regional political, economic or financial events and
situations. Substantial sales of Australian Dollars by the official sector (central banks,
other governmental agencies and related institutions that buy, sell and hold Australian
Dollars as part of their reserve assets) could adversely affect an investment in the
Shares.

|8. | Commitments
and Contingencies
|-- | -----------------------------

Under the Trusts organizational
documents, the Sponsor is indemnified against any liability or expense it incurs without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. The Trusts maximum exposure
under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made
against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

|9. | Subsequent
Events
|-- | -----------------

On January 17, 2008 Rydex NV, Inc.,
parent company of the Sponsor, was acquired by Security Benefit Corporation.
