CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 chairman’s report to shareholders
I present to you the Group’s consolidated results for the
year ended 30 June 2020.
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%.

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 directors’ report
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Corporate Governance
For the year ended 30 June 2020, the Board applied where
practicable, the guidelines set out in the 3rd Edition of ASX
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations
issued by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.
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.

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

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.

None of the directors or entities in which the directors have
a beneficial interest, hold preference shares. Mr Rydge
also has a non-beneficial interest in 37,941 (2019: 37,941)
preference shares by virtue of his directorship of Event
Hospitality & Entertainment Limited.
No options were granted over unissued ordinary shares in
the Company to any officer of the Company during or since
the end of the financial year and at the date of this report
there are no unissued ordinary shares under option.
Indemnification of officers
The Company has agreed to indemnify the current directors
and company secretary of the Company and its controlled
entities for all liabilities to another person (other than the
Company or a related body corporate) that may arise
from their position, except where the liability arises out of
conduct involving a lack of good faith. The agreements
stipulate that the Company will meet the full amount of any
such liabilities, including costs and expenses.
No premium has been paid, or agreed to be paid, for
insurance against a current or former officer’s or auditor’s
liability for legal costs.
Non-audit services
During the year KPMG, the Company’s auditor, has
performed certain other services in addition to its statutory
duties. The Directors are satisfied that:
(a) the non-audit services provided during the financial
year by KPMG as the external auditor were compatible
with the general standard of independence for auditors
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001; and
(b) any non-audit services provided during the financial year
by KPMG as the external auditor did not compromise the
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001 for the following reasons:
(i) the nature and scope of any non-audit service
provided is reviewed and approved by the Audit and
Risk Committee to ensure that they do not adversely
affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
(ii) the amount of non-audit fees paid to KPMG
in comparison to the amount of audit fees are
considered to be significantly within an appropriate
threshold to maintain auditor independence.

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
SECTION 1 – BASIS OF PREPARATION
(e) New and Revised Accounting Standards
Reporting Entity
1-1
Carlton Investments Limited (The Company) is a company
domiciled in Australia. 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.

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.

established, which is the date that the investment trades “ex-dividend”. Interest income comprising interest on short term
deposits is recognised as it accrues.

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

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.

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.

Limited for subsequent financial years
2020
$000
2019
$000
68,772

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.

6-8 Deed of cross guarantee
Pursuant to ASIC Class Order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, the wholly-owned controlled entities named
below are relieved from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports
and directors’ reports.
It is a condition of the Class Order that the Company and each of the controlled entities enter into a Deed of Cross
Guarantee. The effect of the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event

under other provisions of the Act, the Company will only be liable in the event that after six months any creditor has not been
paid in full. The controlled entities have also given similar guarantees in the event that the Company is wound up.
The controlled entities subject to the Deed are Carlton Hotel Limited, The Manly Hotels Pty Limited and Eneber Investment
Company Limited. There are no controlled entities that are not party to the Deed.

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Carlton Investments Limited
Report on the audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the Financial Report of Carlton
Investments Limited (the Company).
In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the
Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
• giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial
position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial
performance for the year ended on that date; and
The Financial Report comprises:
• Consolidated statement of financial position as at 30
June 2020
• Consolidated income statement, Consolidated statement
of comprehensive income, Consolidated statement of
changes in equity, and Consolidated statement of cash
flows for the year then ended
• Notes including a summary of significant accounting
• complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the
policies
Corporations Regulations 2001.
• Directors’ Declaration.
The Group consists of the Company and the entities it
controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the
financial year.
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.

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.
Other Information
Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Carlton Investments Limited’s annual reporting which
is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other
Information.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related
assurance opinion.
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.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on
the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have
nothing to report.
Responsibilities of Directors for the Financial Report
The Directors are responsible for:
• preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and
the Corporations Act 2001;
• implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view
and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
• assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of
accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
33
CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objective is:
• to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error; and
• to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.
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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1pdf. This description forms part of our
Auditor’s Report.

accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
