CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2021chairman’s report to shareholders

Dividends
On 17 August 2021 the directors declared a final fully 
franked dividend of 41 cents per ordinary share, payable 
on 20 September 2021. The prior year final dividend paid 
in September 2020 was 56 cents per ordinary share. Total 
dividends paid and payable in respect of ordinary shares for 
the financial year ended 30 June 2021 amount to 67 cents 
per share, a decrease of 44 cents per share. Dividends paid 
in respect of the year to 30 June 2021 equated to 84.4% of 
net profit compared to 77.1% in the prior year.  

An interim dividend of 26 cents per ordinary share was 
paid in March 2021. The prior year interim dividend paid in 
March 2020 was 55 cents per ordinary share.

A final preference share dividend of 7 cents per share fully 
franked is also payable on 20 September 2021.

The record date for both the ordinary and preference final 
dividends is 1 September 2021.

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan remains suspended. 

Net tangible asset backing
The net tangible asset backing for each issued ordinary 
share at 30 June 2021, 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 $38.53 (2020: $28.50). 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 $31.99 (2020: $24.65). The relevant figures as at 31 
July 2021 were $38.61 and $32.07 respectively. 

I present to you the Group’s consolidated results for the 
year ended 30 June 2021.

Group’s operations and results
Profit for the year ended 30 June 2021 was $21,029,000 
compared to $38,115,000 for the prior 2020 financial year, 
a decrease of $17,086,000 or 44.8%. 

Dividends and distributions received, before special 
dividends, decreased by 18,219,000 (47.1%) from 
$38,661,000 to $20,442,000. The businesses of 
the Group’s largest investment, Event Hospitality & 
Entertainment, have been greatly impacted by public health 
restrictions to suppress the spread of COVID-19 and no 
dividends were received for this investment during the year 
to 30 June 2021. The dividends received by the Group 
from Event in the 2020 financial year were $16,009,000. 
There were also reductions in the dividends received from 
most other companies and in particular the banks, AGL, 
Perpetual and Sydney Airports. These reductions were 
partially offset by an increase in dividends received from 
mining companies.

Interest income decreased from $360,000 in the prior to 
$50,000 in the year to 30 June 2021, with continuing low 
interest rates and less funds held in term deposits. The 
weighted average interest rate on term deposits decreased 
from 1.88% in the prior year to 0.54%. 

A low income tax expense of $49,000 has resulted from the 
reversal of a provision for deferred income tax amounting 
to $697,000, a previously anticipated liability which is no 
longer expected to eventuate. The income tax expense 
before this reversal was $746,000.

Administration expenses were $870,000 compared to 
$916,000 in the previous year. The management expense 
ratio (MER) for the year ended 30 June 2021 has remained 
unchanged from the prior year at 0.10%.

Earnings per ordinary share 
Basic and diluted earnings were $0.794 per ordinary share 
for the year to 30 June 2021 compared to $1.440 per share 
for the 2020 financial year.

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2021Investments
The market value of the equity investment portfolio as 
at 30 June 2021 was $1,000,907,000 compared to 
$731,517,000 at the prior year end.  Short term cash 
holdings and term deposits totalled $17,235,000 at 30 June 
2021 (2020: $23,581,000).

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 
2021 totalled $9,358,000 (2020: $10,554,000). Acquisitions 
above $400,000 during the year were:

Outlook
The economic impact of health restriction to contain the 
spread of COVID-19, on a number of market sectors, 
continues and with the current slow vaccine roll out it 
is difficult predict dividend income over the next twelve 
months, however it is anticipated that dividend income for 
the 2022 financial year will remain well down on the pre-
COVID levels received in the 2020 financial year.

We remain confident, given the quality of the businesses in 
the investment portfolio, that those businesses impacted by 
COVID-19 restrictions will recover quickly once vaccination 
levels increase to required levels and we see an end to 
COVID restrictions.

In June 2021, Woolworths demerged its drinks and hotel 
business, Endeavour Group Limited, and the Group 
received shares in this new listed entity, which had a market 
value of $906,000 at 30 June 2021.

There was only one investment disposal in the year, with 
the Group’s holding in Coca-Cola Amatil being subject to 
a takeover offer and was disposed of for consideration of 
$6,084,000. Prior year consideration received on disposals 
totalled $5,106,000. There were no capital returns received 
during the year (2020: $301,000).  

Following the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and a 25% fall 
in the market value of the Group’s investments during the 
second six months of the prior financial year, we have seen 
market values for most of the Group’s investments recover 
over the year to 30 June 2021. The market value of the 
Group’s investment portfolio, after adjusting for investment 
acquisitions and disposals, increased during the year by 
$266 million or 36%. The S&P/ASX 200 Index increased 
by 24.0% 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 38.9% compared with an increase in the S&P 
ASX 200 Accumulation Index over the period of 27.8%. 

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.

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2021directors’ report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

Corporate Governance 
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Board applied where 
practicable, the guidelines set out in the 4th Edition of ASX 
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 
issued by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The 
Company has disclosed its current 2021 Corporate 
Governance Statement in the Governance and Policies 
section on the Carlton Investments website at:
https://www.carltoninvestments.com.au/AboutUs/
GovernanceandPolicies.aspx 
The Group has also lodged the 2021 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 2021 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; and

•  Recommendation 3.3, as the Company does not have 
a whistleblower policy. Given the size of the Company 
and also taking into account compensating procedures 
undertaken, the Board does not consider that this 
exception impacts on the effectiveness of the Board’s 
governance processes.

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 $18,219,000 from $38,661,000 
in 2020 to $20,442,000 in 2021, representing a 47% 
decrease. The businesses of the Group’s largest 
investment, Event Hospitality & Entertainment (Event), 
have been greatly impacted by public health restrictions to 
suppress the spread of COVID-19 and no dividends were 
received for this investment during the year to 30 June 
2021. In the prior year dividends totalling $16,009,000 were 
received from Event. There was also a general decrease 
in dividends received across most of the Group’s other 
investments, with the largest reductions in dividends 
received being from the banks, Sydney Airports, AGL and 
Perpetual. These decreases in dividends received were 
partially offset by the increase in dividends received from 
investments in mining companies amounting to $1,768,000.

Interest income totalled only $50,000, compared to 
$360,000 in the prior year. The weighted average interest 
rate on term deposits decreased from 1.88% in the prior 
year to 0.54%. During the financial year, given investment 
market uncertainties, a greater proportion of funds were 
held in “at call” deposits rather than term deposits. 

Administration expenses for the year were $870,000 
compared to $916,000 in the prior year. The management 
expense ratio (MER) for the year remained at 0.10%.

The low income tax expense for the year of $49,000 has 
resulted from the reversal of a provision for deferred income 
tax amounting to $697,000, a previously anticipated liability 
which is no longer expected to eventuate. The income 
tax expense before this reversal was $746,000 (2020: 
$1,116,000).

Equity investments purchased during the year to 30 June 
2021 totalled $9,358,000  (2020: $10,554,000). Major 
additions to the portfolio included Bank of Queensland, 
Deterra Royalties, Macquarie Group, Tassal Group, Rio 
Tinto, NEXTDC, and IPH. The Group continued to invest 
in Australian listed entities that are considered to be well 
managed and are anticipated to provide attractive levels 

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2021       
       
directors’ report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

of sustainable income through predominantly franked 
dividends and also long term capital growth. Details of 
investment acquisitions over $400,000 during the year to 30 
June 2021 are given in the Chairman’s Report.

The only disposal of an equity investment during the 
financial year resulted from the takeover of Coca-Cola 
Amatil, with total consideration of $6,084,000 being 
received for this disposal (2020: disposals consideration 
$5,106,000) . There were no capital returns received during 
the year (2020: $301,000).  

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. In the prior year to 30 June 2020, with the outbreak 
of COVID-19, the market value for the Group’s investment 
portfolio fell by $219 million or 23% for that year. During the 
year to 30 June 2021 we have seen the market values for 
most of the Group’s investments increase throughout the 
year. The market value of the Group’s investment portfolio, 
after adjusting for investment acquisitions and disposals, 
increased during the year by $266 million or 36%. The S&P/
ASX 200 Index increased by 24.0% 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 38.9% compared with an 
increase in the S&P ASX 200 Accumulation Index over the 
period of 27.8%. 

With the current market values appearing high in these 
uncertain times, 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 56 cents per share, fully franked, amounting 
to $14,826,000 was paid on 21 September 2020.

(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 21 September 2020.    

•  In respect of the current financial year: 

(i)   An interim ordinary share dividend of 26 

cents per share, fully franked, was declared 
and paid on 22 March 2021.

ordinary share in respect of the year ended 
30 June 2021 has been declared. The 
dividend will be fully franked.

Outlook and likely developments
As stated in the Chairman’s Report it is anticipated that the 
Group’s dividend income, for the 2022 financial year, will 
remain well down on pre-COVID levels. 

The Board remains confident, given the quality of 
the businesses in the investment portfolio, that those 
businesses  impacted by COVID- 19 restrictions will recover 
quickly once vaccination levels increase to those required 
and we see an end to COVID restrictions.

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.

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 (2020: 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 2021SECTION 1 – BASIS OF PREPARATION

(e)  New and Revised Accounting Standards

1-1  Reporting Entity
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 2021 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 17 August 2021.

A number of new accounting standards and interpretations 
became mandatory for the current financial year ended 
30 June 2021. These new accounting standards and 
interpretations 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.

1-2  Basis of preparation
(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.

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2021notes to the consolidated financial statementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021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.

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.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current or deferred income tax is recognised in the profit or loss for 
the year 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 2021notes to the consolidated financial statementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021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% 
(2020: 30%) on operating profit
Increase/(decrease) in income tax expense due to:
Imputation gross up on dividends received
Franking credits on dividends received

Term deposits are carried at cost. They have been placed with major financial institutions and at 30 June 2021 had maturity 
periods of 49 to 78 days (2020: 50 days) with interest rates of 0.30% to 0.32% (2020: 1.50%). The weighted average 
effective interest rate on term deposits for the year ended 30 June 2021 was 0.54% (2020: 1.88%). 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

1,000,907

731,517

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 2021 investments were acquired for consideration of $9,358,000 (2020: $10,554,000). 
Proceeds from disposal of investments in the year to 30 June 2021 totalled $6,084,000 (2020: $5,106,000). There were no 
proceeds from capital returns during the year to 30 June 2021 (2020: $301,000).The prior year market value for the Group’s 
investment portfolio was following a rapid fall in market values in the second six months to 30 June 2020, with the outbreak 
of the COVID-19 pandemic impacting on the global and Australian investment markets. During the twelve months to 30 June 
2021, we has seen market values for most of the group’s investments recover, with the Group’s portfolio market value, after 
adjusting for investment acquisitions and disposals, increasing by 36.2%.

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:

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 2021. There were no shares bought back during the year 
ended 30 June 2021 (2020: Nil). At 30 June 2021 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.

Limited for subsequent financial years

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 2021 totalling 
$6,897,000 (2020: $7,673,000).

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 $4,654,000 (2020: $6,356,000).

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 2021notes to the consolidated financial statementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021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 98.0% of total assets at 30 June 2021 (2020: 96.7%). 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 2021, total equity represented by share capital, reserves and retained profits would reduce 
by $37,295,000 and $69,078,000 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.

6-7  Operating segments
The Group operates only in Australia, investing predominantly in Australian listed securities and has no reportable segments.

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 
of winding up of any of the controlled entities under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. If a winding up occurs 
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.

The consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement 
of financial position, comprising the Company and controlled entities which are party to the Deed, after eliminating all 
transactions between those entities at 30 June 2021, are set out on pages 11, 12 and 13 of the financial statements.

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 2021 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 2021;

•   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; and

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. 

This matter was 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 this matter.

32

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2021Valuation of listed equity investments ($1,000,907,000)

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 98% of the Group’s total assets 
at year end; and

• 

Importance of the performance of these investments 
in driving the Group’s operating revenue and capital 
performance, as reported in the Financial Report. 

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 2021;

•  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 2021;

•  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 and Company’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 and Company or to cease 
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

33

CARLTON INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES • ANNUAL REPORT 2021 
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/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf

This description forms part of our Auditor’s Report.
