Group’s operations and results Profit for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $38,115,000 compared to $45,526,000 for the 2019 financial year, a decrease of $7,411,000 or 16.3%. The prior year result benefited from a significant increase in special dividends received, which totalled $3,567,000. Special dividends in the year to 30 June 2020 totalled $1,138,000, a decrease of 68%. Dividends and distributions received, before special dividends, decreased by $4,590,000 (10.6%) from $43,251,000 to $38,661,000. This fall in dividends received largely occurred in the last quarter of the financial year when the COVID-19 outbreak caused several companies to conserve funds and either significantly reduce or defer dividend payments. The major impact on the Group’s profit from this reduction or deferral of dividends came from the Group’s bank investments. The prior year second six months results included dividends received or receivable from banks totalling $6.4 million, as against $2.2 million received or receivable in the six months to 30 June 2020. With lower interest rates, interest income decreased from $465,000 in the prior to $360,000. The weighted average interest rate on term deposits decreased from 2.53% in the prior year to 1.88% and there was a small increase in average funds on deposit during the year of $0.4 million. Administration expenses were $916,000, compared to $870,000 in the previous year. The management expense ratio (MER) for the year ended 30 June 2020 was 0.10%. Earnings per ordinary share Basic and diluted earnings were $1.440 per ordinary share for the year to 30 June 2020 compared to $1.720 per share for 2019. Dividends On 21 August 2020 the directors declared a final fully franked dividend of 56 cents per ordinary share, payable on 21 September 2020. Total dividends paid and payable in respect of ordinary shares for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 amount to $1.11 per share, a decrease of 14 cents per share, not taking into account the special dividend of 8 cents per ordinary share paid in respect of the prior year. An interim dividend of 55 cents per ordinary share was paid in March 2020 and was consistent with the prior year interim dividend. A final preference share dividend of 7 cents per share fully franked is also payable on 21 September 2020. The record date for both the ordinary and preference final dividends is 2 September 2020. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan remains suspended. Net tangible asset backing The net tangible asset backing for each issued ordinary share at 30 June 2020, prior to the payment of the final dividend noted above and before provision for estimated capital gains tax in respect of unrealised investment portfolio gains, was $28.50 (2019: $36.68). Although the Board has no present intention of disposing of any of the Group’s equity investments, the net tangible asset backing per share after provision for tax on unrealised capital gains was $24.65 (2019: $30.66). The relevant figures as at 31 July 2020 were $27.42 and $23.88 respectively. 2 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020The Group continues to hold its equity investments for the long term and does not act as a share trader nor does it invest in speculative stocks. Outlook With a high level of uncertainty regarding the degree to which the economic impact of COVID-19 will persist, it is difficult to accurately predict future earnings. For the 2021 financial year it is anticipated that dividend income will be well down on that received during the 2020 financial year, as businesses take a conservative approach to the payment of dividends. Event Hospitality & Entertainment has announced that they do not currently intend to pay a final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2020 or an interim dividend for the half year ending 31 December 2020 and the dividend prospects from investments in a number of other industry sectors are in question. We also consider that there will be continuing high market volatility that will require a patient approach in identifying new long term investment opportunities. We believe that given the quality of the businesses in the investment portfolio, they will persist through the current economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. A G RYDGE Chairman 21 August 2020 Investments The market value of the equity investment portfolio as at 30 June 2020 was $731,517,000 compared to $945,446,000 at the prior year end. Short term cash holdings and term deposits totalled $23,581,000 at 30 June 2020 (2019: $23,211,000). The Board’s policy is to acquire additional investments in equities that meet the criteria of providing high levels of income through predominantly fully franked dividends and have the potential for long term capital growth. The cost of equity investments purchased during the year to 30 June 2020 totalled $10,554,000 (2019: $8,314,000). Acquisitions above $500,000 during the year were: BHP Group Fortescue Metals Group Iluka Resources Link Administration Pendal Group Rio Tinto Santos Tabcorp Woodside Petroleum $1,005,000 $1,485,000 $999,000 $1,009,000 $500,000 $1,492,000 $2,009,000 $503,000 $1,002,000 During the period the Groups holding in Dulux was subject to a takeover offer and was disposed of for consideration of $5,076,000. There was one other disposal resulting from a takeover, bringing the total consideration received from disposals to $5,106,000. Capital returns received during the period totalled $301,000 (2019 $113,000). The second six months of the 30 June 2020 financial year has seen market values for most of the Group’s investments fall with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic impacting on the global and Australian investment markets. Over the second six months we have seen the market value of the group’s investments fall by 25.2%. Restrictions to suppress the spread of COVID-19 have had a significant impact on the businesses of the Group’s largest investment, Event Hospitality & Entertainment. The market values of the Group’s investments in banks have also seen large falls due the general economic impact of the pandemic. The market value of the Group’s investment portfolio, after adjusting for investment acquisitions and capital returns, decreased during the year by $219 million or 23%. The S&P/ASX 200 Index decreased by 10.9% over the financial year. On a total portfolio return basis (measured by the movement in NTA per share assuming dividends are reinvested), the return for the twelve months was negative 19.4% compared with an decrease in the S&P ASX 200 Accumulation Index over period of 7.7%. 3 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 202050 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 $m TEN YEAR SUMMARY OF NET PROFITS 31.58 32.40 29.30 37.42 35.26 41.81 39.67 41.66 45.53 38.12 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 CPS FULLY FRANKED DIVIDENDS PER ORDINARY SHARE 7 114 116 121 8 125 111 108 100 84 78 92 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Ordinary dividend Special dividend 78.0 % DIVIDENDS PAID AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET PROFIT 76.4 76.6 77.4 76.9 77.3 77.1 75.2 75.1 76.0 74.0 72.0 70.0 70.6 70.5 68.0 66.0 4 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020directors’ report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 The directors present their report together with the consolidated financial report of Carlton Investments Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2020 and the auditor’s report thereon.

The Board has adopted, where practicable, the 4th Edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations for the year ending 30 June 2021. The Company has disclosed its current 2020 Corporate Governance Statement in the Governance and Policies section on the Carlton Investments website (https://www.carltoninvestments.com.au/AboutUs/ GovernanceandPolicies.aspx). The Group has also lodged the 2020 Corporate Governance Statement and Appendix 4G with the ASX. Companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange are required, under the ASX Listing Rules, to detail the principles and recommendations with which they have not complied and provide reasons as to why they have not done so. As disclosed in the 2020 Corporate Governance Statement, the Company complies, to the extent appropriate for an organisation of its size, with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with the exception of Recommendation 2.5 as the Chairman is not considered to be an independent director due to his related interests in the Company. The remaining members of the Board do not consider that this in any way diminishes the effective conduct of the Board’s functions. Principal activities The principal activity of the Group is the acquisition and long term holding of shares and units in entities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. There have been no significant changes in the activity of the consolidated entity during the year under review. Environmental regulation The Group’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State legislation. Events subsequent to balance date Other than noted elsewhere in this report, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the company, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in subsequent financial years. 6 Results and review of operations The consolidated profit for the year attributable to the members of Carlton Investments Limited was: 2020 $000 2019 $000 Operating revenue 40,159 47,301 Administration and finance costs (928) (882) Profit before income tax expense 39,231 46,419 Income tax expense Net profit for the year (1,116) (893) 38,115 45,526 Dividends and distributions received, before special dividends decreased by $4,590,000 from $43,251,000 to $38,661,000, representing a 10.6% decrease. With the outbreak of COVID-19, a number of companies in which the Group has invested chose to conserve funds and either significantly reduce or defer dividend payments. Among these companies were the major banks whose dividends are declared in the last quarter of the financial year. Special dividends received during the period decreased significantly from $3,567,000 in the prior year to $1,138,000, a decrease of $2,429,000. Interest income totalled $360,000, compared to $465,000 in the prior year. The weighted average interest rate on term deposits decreased from 2.53% in the prior year to 1.88%, with only a small increase in average funds on deposit during the period. During the last quarter of the financial year, with low interest rates and investment market uncertainties, funds were moved out of term deposit to bank accounts where the funds are immediately available. Administration expenses for the year were $916,000 compared to $870,000 in the prior year. The management expense ratio (MER) for the year was 0.10%, an increase of 0.01% from the prior year. Equity investments purchased during the year to 30 June 2020 totalled $10,554,000 (2019: $8,314,000). Major additions to the portfolio included BHP Group, Fortescue Metals Group, Iluka Resources, Link Administration, Pendal Group, Rio Tinto, Santos, Tabcorp and Woodside Petroleum. The Group continued to invest in Australian listed entities that are considered to be well managed and are anticipated to provide attractive levels of sustainable income through predominantly franked dividends and also long term capital growth. Details of investment acquisitions over $500,000 during the year to 30 June 2020 are given in the Chairman’s Report. CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 directors’ report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 The only disposals of equity investments during the financial year resulted from takeovers, with total consideration of $5,106,000 being received. The largest takeover was the acquisition of Dulux by Nippon Paints in August 2019, when the Group received $5,076,000 in consideration for the disposal of its Dulux shares. Capital returns received during the period totalled $301,000 (2019 $113,000). The investment portfolio held by the Group is valued at market values. Increments and decrements in the market value of equity investments are recognised as other comprehensive income and taken to the revaluation reserve. Following the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic the market value of the investment portfolio fell significantly resulting in a decrease in value for the year to 30 June 2020 of $219,076,000 or 23%. The S&P/ASX 200 Index decreased by 10.9% over the year to 30 June 2020. On a total portfolio return basis (measured by the movement in NTA per share assuming dividends are reinvested), the return for the twelve months was negative 19.4% compared with a decrease in the S&P ASX 200 Accumulation Index over the same period of 7.7%. With the current market uncertainties and an expectation of continuing high market volatility, the Group will continue to take a cautious approach in identifying long term investment opportunities. Dividends • Paid during the year in respect of the prior financial year: (i) As proposed in last year’s report, a final ordinary share dividend of 70 cents per share, fully franked, amounting to $18,532,000 was paid on 23 September 2019. As also proposed in last year’s report, a special dividend of 8 cents per share, fully franked, amounting to $2,118,000 was also paid on 23 September 2019. (ii) As proposed in last year’s report, a final preference share dividend of 7 cents per share, fully franked, amounting to $6,000 was paid on 23 September 2019. • In respect of the current financial year: (i) An interim ordinary share dividend of 55 $000 cents per share, fully franked, was declared and paid on 23 March 2020. 14,561 (ii) A final ordinary dividend of 56 cents per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 30 June 2020 has been declared. The dividend will be fully franked. Total ordinary share dividends paid or payable in respect of the year ended 30 June 2020 (iii) An interim preference share dividend of 7 cents per share, fully franked, was paid on 23 March 2020 (iv) A final preference share dividend of 7 cents per share, fully franked, has been declared 14,826 29,387 6 6 Total dividends paid or payable in respect of the year ended 30 June 2020 29,399 In the financial statements preference share dividends are recorded as a finance cost, refer note 3-4 to the financial statements. Outlook and Likely developments The COVID19 pandemic has impacted global and Australian economies and companies. The pandemic is likely to remain a major global issue until a treatment or vaccine is developed and the full financial impact on the Group will play out in the 2021 financial year. As stated in the Chairman’s Report it is anticipated that the Group’s dividend income will be impacted in the financial year to 30 June 2021 as companies in a number of industry sectors are taking a conservative approach to the payment of dividends. Also, Event Hospitality & Entertainment have announced that they do not currently intend to pay a final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2020 or an interim dividend for the half year to 31 December 2020. Dividends received by the Group from Event for the 2020 financial year were $16,009,000. The level of special dividends received in the 2019 and 2020 financial years is not expected to continue for the 2021 year. Lower interest rates are expected to continue for some time thus reducing the return on the Group’s deposits. The Group will continue to pursue its policy of holding equity investments on a long term basis and reinvesting dividends and other income in entities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, together with accepting takeover offers which would prove to be of advantage to the Group. 7 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 directors’ report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 Remuneration Report – Audited The Company has a Board of three directors and employs two staff, one of whom is the company secretary/ chief financial officer.

The address of the Company’s registered office is Level 15, 478 George Street, Sydney, NSW. The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”). The Group is a for-profit entity and operates predominately in the acquisition and long term holding of shares and units in entities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and solely within Australia. The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 21 August 2020. A number of new accounting standards and interpretations became mandatory for the current financial year ended 30 June 2020. These new accounting standards and interpretations, including IFRS 16 Leases, have not had a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. There are also a number of new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations, which are not yet mandatory, which have not been adopted in preparing these consolidated financial statements. From an initial assessment, it is not expected that these new and amended accounting standards and interpretations will have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group when they are adopted. Basis of preparation 1-2 (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). (b) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except that investments in equities have been stated at their market values at balance date. (c) Functional currency and presentation These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Group’s functional currency. The ASIC Corporations (rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 is applicable to the Group and therefore the amounts in the financial report and Directors’ Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. (d) Changes in accounting policies The accounting policies adopted by the Group are consistent with those adopted during the previous corresponding financial year. 16 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 SECTION 2 – EARNINGS AND COSTS 2-1 Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS as there are no dilutive potential ordinary shares on issue by the Company. Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share Reconciliation of earnings used in the calculation of earnings per share: Profit as per the consolidated statement of profit 2020 $1.440 $000 38,115 Number 2019 $1.720 $000 45,526 Number Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share 26,474,675 26,474,675 2-2 Timing of recognition of income Revenues from dividends and trust distributions are recognised in the profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established, which is the date that the investment trades “ex-dividend”. Interest income comprising interest on short term deposits is recognised as it accrues. 2-3 Dividends and distributions received Note 2020 $000 2019 $000 Dividends and distributions received Dividends and distributions received from listed entities: Dividends – ordinary Dividends – special Distributions from trusts Dividends from: Investments held at year end Investments disposed of during the year 2-4 Administration expenses Directors’ fees and employee remuneration Auditor’s remuneration Rent and office service charges Other administration costs 2-5 Income tax Accounting policy 37,501 1,138 1,160 39,799 39,799 - 39,799 558 94 22 242 916 42,069 3,567 1,182 46,818 46,818 - 46,818 540 72 23 235 870 6-5 Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current or deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised through other comprehensive income, when it is recognised into the revaluation reserve or directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 17 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 2-5 Income tax (continued) Deferred tax, being predominantly capital gains tax, is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance date. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Income tax expense Prima facie income tax expense calculated at 30% (2019: 30%) on operating profit Increase/(decrease) in income tax expense due to: Imputation gross up on dividends received Franking credits on dividends received Difference in timing of recognition of franked dividends receivable Deferred tax adjustments Other adjustments Over provision in previous year Income tax expense Income tax expense in the statement of profit or loss comprises: Current income tax expense Over provision current income tax prior year Deferred income tax expense adjustments Current tax liability Balance at beginning of year Income tax paid Current year’s income tax Over provision in previous year Balance at end of year Deferred tax liability Balance at beginning of year Increase/(decrease) in deferred tax liability on change in market value of investments recognised directly in equity Origination and reversal of timing differences Balance at end of year Represented by: Capital gains tax on unrealised investment gains Temporary differences on timing of recognition of dividend and trust distribution income Deferred tax asset Balance at beginning of year Origination and reversal of temporary differences Balance at end of year Represented by: Temporary differences - employee entitlements accrued 18 2020 $000 2019 $000 11,769 13,926 4,872 (16,241) 595 189 5 (73) 1,116 1,014 (73) 175 1,116 476 (954) 1,313 (57) 778 5,813 (19,376) 569 - 8 (47) 893 1,014 (47) (74) 893 305 (719) 944 (54) 476 159,865 166,742 (57,369) 265 102,761 102,027 734 102,761 16 6 22 22 (7,169) 292 159,865 159.396 469 159,865 9 7 16 16 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 SECTION 3 – ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 3-1 Investments Current Term deposits Note 2020 $000 2019 $000 2,000 20,900 Term deposits are carried at cost. They have been placed with major financial institutions and at 30 June 2020 had a maturity periods of 50 days (2019: 17 to 82 days) with interest rate of 1.50% (2019: 1.60% and 2.70%). The weighted average effective interest rate on term deposits for the year ended 30 June 2020 was 1.88% (2019: 2.53%). Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. Credit risk on term deposits is minimised as deposits are only made with major Australian financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings determined by a recognised rating agency. Non-Current Investments and equities Shares and units held in listed entities - at fair value 6-10 731,517 945,446 Shares and units in listed entities are valued continuously at fair value. Inputs used to determine fair value are the unadjusted last-sale price, last-bid price and last-sell price quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange at balance date. Fair value is determined at a value within the quoted bid/sell price spread with most investments being valued at the quoted last- sale price. As the inputs used to determine the fair value of shares and units in listed entities are prices quoted in an active market, being the Australian Securities Exchange, values are categorised within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of measurement under Accounting Standards AASB 13. Any change in fair value of shares and units in listed entities is recognised, through the Statement of Comprehensive Income, directly in equity. During the year to 30 June 2020 investments were acquired for consideration of $10,554,000 (2019: $8,314,000). Proceeds from disposal of investments in the year to 30 June 2020 totalled $5,106,000 (2019: $5,000). Proceeds from capital returns during the year to 30 June 2020 were $301,000 (2019: $113,000). The second six months of the 30 June 2020 financial year has seen market values for most of the Group’s investments fall with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic impacting on the global and Australian investment markets. During the second six month period the market value of the group’s investments fell by 25.2%. The group is not directly exposed to interest or currency risk through its equity investments. The only individual, material investment in a listed equity, that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in an associate or joint venture accounted for using the equity method, is: Name Principal Activities Ownership Carrying Amount Dividends Received 2020 % 2019 % 2020 $000 2019 $000 2020 $000 2019 $000 Event Hospitality & Entertainment Limited Entertainment, hospitality, tourism and leisure 19.1 19.1 258,916 384,834 16,009 16,009 19 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 3-2 Receivables Current Dividends and interest receivable 3-3 Payables Current Other creditors and accruals The consolidated entity’s exposure to liquidity risk related to creditors is disclosed in note 5-2. 3-4 Other financial liabilities Non-Current Cumulative preference shares 2020 $000 2019 $000 1,219 3,646 119 95 166 166 82,978 (2019: 82,978) 7% cumulative preference shares fully paid Holders of preference shares are entitled to receive a fixed cumulative preferential dividend at the rate of 7% per annum on capital paid up of $2 per existing preference share. In the event of a winding up of the Company, preference shareholders are entitled to the capital and all arrears of dividends up to the date of the commencement of the winding up paid off in priority to any payment of capital on the ordinary shares. Holders of preference shares may attend and speak at general meetings but do not have a right to vote except where at the date of the meeting any dividend or part of a dividend is in arrears or on matters which directly or indirectly affect the rights attaching to the preference shares. The preference shares when issued were not classified as redeemable. Dividends on these preference shares are recorded as a finance cost for accounting purposes. Final dividend (7 cents per preference share paid on 23 September 2019) Interim dividend (7 cents per preference share paid on 23 March 2020) Dividends paid were franked at a tax rate of 30%. 6 6 12 6 6 12 20 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 SECTION 4 – SHARE CAPITAL, RESERVES AND DIVIDENDS PAID 4-1 Share capital and reserves Issued and paid up capital 26,474,675 (2019: 26,474,675) ordinary shares fully paid 20,146 20,146 2020 $000 2019 $000 Movements in ordinary share capital Balance at the beginning of the financial year On market share buy-back – nil Balance at the end of the financial year 20,146 - 20,146 20,146 - 20,146 On 14 November 2001 the Company announced an On Market Buy Back of up to 2,500,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares. This Buy-Back has been extended until 28 November 2020. There were no shares bought back during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: Nil). At 30 June 2020 the cumulative number of shares bought back since 14 November 2001 is 806,612 at a cost of $10,700,000. The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. All issued shares are fully paid. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per ordinary share at shareholders’ meetings. In the event of a winding up of the Company, ordinary shareholders rank after preference shareholders and creditors and are fully entitled to any proceeds of liquidation. Revaluation reserve Revaluation reserve 263,518 425,624 The revaluation reserve comprises the cumulative change in the fair value of equity investments net of the estimated capital gains tax relating thereto. 4-2 Dividends The following dividends were declared and paid by the Company: Declared and paid during the year 2019 Final – ordinary share – ordinary share special 2020 Interim – ordinary share Total Cents per share Total amount $000 Franked/ unfranked Date of payment 70.0 8.0 78.0 55.0 18,532 2,118 20,650 14,561 35,211 Franked 23 September 2019 Franked 23 September 2019 Franked 23 March 2020 Franked dividends declared or paid during the year were franked at the tax rate of 30%. Declared after the end of the financial year: Final – ordinary share 56.0 14,826 Franked 21 September 2020 The financial effect of the final dividend has not been brought to account in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 and will be recognised in subsequent financial reports. 21 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 4-2 Dividends (continued) Dividend franking account 30% franking credits available to shareholders of Carlton Investments Limited for subsequent financial years 2020 $000 2019 $000 68,772 69,022 The above available amount is based on the balance of the dividend franking account at year-end adjusted for franking credits that will arise from the payment of the current tax liability. In addition to the above amount, there are franking credits available in subsidiary entities at 30 June 2020 totalling $7,673,000 (2019: $5,025,000). The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends. The impact on the dividend franking account of dividends proposed after the balance date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by $6,356,000 (2019: $8,853,000). 4-3 Capital management The Board manages the Group’s capital base so as to maintain investors’ value, market confidence and to sustain future growth of the business. In addition to endeavouring to achieve an increase in the value of capital invested by ordinary shareholders, the Board aims to be able to pay dividends which can be increased over future years. The actual level of dividends payable is dependent upon the level of income the Group receives from its investments. Capital management initiatives undertaken when appropriate from time to time include a share purchase plan, a dividend reinvestment plan and on market share buy-backs. The Group’s capital consists of total shareholders’ equity. Changes in the capital base are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. SECTION 5 – RISK 5-1 Critical accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of the financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. A deferred tax liability has been recognised, in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards, in respect of Capital Gains Tax calculated on the unrealised gains applicable to listed equity investments. It is the intention of Group entities to hold these investments for the long term and not to dispose of them. Accordingly, the deferred tax liability may not be realised at the amount disclosed in the financial statements and may also be affected by subsequent changes in tax legislation in regard to capital gains. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. 5-2 Financial risk management The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The risks associated with the Group’s assets fall into three categories, namely, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Market risk includes interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. The Group is not currently materially exposed to interest rate risk as its cash and term deposits are short term and for a fixed interest rate. There is no material direct exposure to currency risk as almost all financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Australian dollars. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from investment securities and term deposits. For the Company it arises from receivables due from subsidiaries. The credit risk with respect to term deposits is referred to in note 3-1. None of these assets are considered to be impaired. 22 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 5-2 Financial risk management (continued) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another asset. The only financial liabilities the Group has are for tax payable from time to time to the Australian Taxation Office, administration cost payables and payables for the purchases of investments. Cash flow forecasts are prepared on a monthly basis allowing for dividends and interest to be received, movements in term deposits, investments to be purchased, dividends to be paid and other outgoings. If the level of dividends or interest to be received were to reduce significantly the Group can reduce its planned acquisition of investments so that adequate liquid funds are available to meet any liabilities. Investments in listed entities could readily be sold on the Australian Securities Exchange to generate required funds. Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. As the Group invests in equities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange there will always be a market risk as the price of the equities is subject to fluctuation. Equity investments represent 96.7% of total assets at 30 June 2020 (2019: 97.2%). If the market prices applicable to the listed equity portfolio were to fall by 5% or 10%, and if this fall was spread equally over all assets in the portfolio at 30 June 2020, total equity represented by share capital, reserves and retained profits would reduce by $27,602,000 and $55,203,000 respectively after tax. A major part of the Group’s income consists of dividends and distributions received from its investments. The level of these dividends and distributions fluctuates depending on the profits earned by the entities in which investments are held. There is a risk that in downturns in the economy the level of these profits will fall and consequently may affect dividends and distributions received. The portfolio of listed equity investments is spread over a number of market sectors so as to reduce the market risk of a major fall in a particular sector. Details of investments held and the relevant market sectors are included in note 6-10.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Key Audit Matters Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 32 CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020Valuation of listed equity investments ($731,517,000) Refer to Note 3-1 to the financial report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Valuation of investments in listed equities is a key audit matter due to the: • Size of the Group’s portfolio of listed equities. These investments represent 97% of the Group’s total assets at year end; • Importance of the performance of these investments in driving the Group’s operating revenue and capital performance, as reported in the Financial Report; and As a result, this was the area with the greatest effect on our overall audit strategy and allocation of resources in planning and performing our audit. Our procedures included: • We assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policies applied by the Group, including those relevant to the fair value of investments, against the requirements of the accounting standards. • We checked the existence of a sample of investments being the ownership and quantity held to external independent share registry electronic records as at 30 June 2020; • We checked the valuation of a sample of investments, as recorded in the general ledger, to externally quoted market prices from relevant stock exchanges on the 30 June 2020; • We evaluated the Group’s disclosures of investments, using our understanding obtained from our testing, against the requirements of the accounting standards.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Financial Report.
