Chairman’s report

Garry Charny

CHAIRMAN   |   Centuria Capital Group

During my third year as chairman, the Group 
has continued to expand its entire platform 
and I am delighted to report that this has 
been supported by the strong performance 
of our core operating businesses. 

Financial year 2018 delivered an 
operating profit1 of $45.1 million for 
Centuria, up from $15.5 million in the 
preceding year. Total securityholder 
return for the period was 23.3%2, in fact 
total securityholder returns over the past 
four years have averaged over 20.0%2 
per annum. 

In addition, during FY18, Centuria delivered 
operating earnings3 of 16.3 cents per 
stapled security (cps) and total distributions 
of 8.2cps, up 9.3% on FY17. 

One of Centuria’s key strategic focuses in 
recent years has been executing on our 
growth agenda. Pleasingly, 2018 has seen 
the benefits of a material step change in the 
size of the Group and the benefits that can 
be unlocked from our scalable platform.  

The Centuria Board works in close co-
operation with the management team, 
to refine and implement our strategic 
planning. This clear focus on our strategic 
goals helps define Centuria and I am sure 
I speak for my fellow directors, as well 
as myself, when I say it is rewarding to 
be involved in such a positive and co-
operative environment.

The acquisition of the 360 Capital platform 
during FY17, now fully integrated, is a good 
example. Whilst the acquisition required a 
major capital raising, the resulting security 
price accretion and market capitalisation 
increase are testimony to the Group’s ability 
to plan and execute on its major strategies. 

Centuria continues to evolve as one of 
Australia’s leading property fund managers, 
now with a platform of $4.0 billion in real 
estate assets under management.  The 
Centuria platform includes Australia’s 
largest ASX listed metropolitan office 
REIT in Centuria Metropolitan REIT and 
Australia’s largest ASX listed income 
focused industrial REIT in Centuria 
Industrial REIT.

Collectively, these REITs represent $2.1 
billion4 of assets under management with 
the balance of the platform consisting of 
$1.9 billion of unlisted property assets 
under management including 15 fixed 

term funds and the Centuria Diversified 
Property Fund. Whilst this growth 
continues, it is important to never forget 
our roots. To that end, Centuria remains 
among the country’s leading unlisted 
managers with strong distribution channels 
and a proven track record of delivering 
results on behalf of our investors. 

Our Investment Bonds subsidiary, 
Centuria Life, is the fourth largest operator 
in Australia with $0.9 billion under 
management at FY18 close. Headwinds 
in alternative savings and investment 
vehicles such as superannuation continue 
to provide opportunities for growth in 
the investment bond market and we are 
committed to exploring opportunities for 
participating in this growth.

It is worth noting some important 
departures and appointments in the Group. 

During the year, Nick Collishaw stepped 
down from his role in charge of our REITs. 
An industry veteran, Nick’s experience 
and wise counsel could have been sorely 
missed, however I am pleased to say that 
Nick accepted our invitation to remain on 
both the CNI and Centuria Property Funds 
Limited (CPFL) Boards. As a result, Jason 
Huljich stepped up to head both our listed 
and unlisted divisions. Whilst a broad and 
challenging remit, the board is comfortable 
that he is more than up to the challenge – 
and his track record in the unlisted division 
is testament to his ability. 

Importantly, we are committed to improving 
the representation of women at board 
level and in senior management and it 
has been an important mandate since my 
appointment as Chair, together with our 
Group CEO, to redress the balance. Susan 
Wheeldon-Steele sits on the CNI Board and 
I was equally delighted that Evelyn Horton 
agreed to join the Centuria Life Board. I 
am also pleased that Anna Kovarik has 
joined us as General Counsel and Company 
Secretary. It goes without saying that all 
these people succeeded on merit and not 
because of gender.

As ever, the inexhaustible John McBain 
continues to lead from the front. I would 
also be remiss not to mention the 
exceptional financial and strategic work 
done by both Jason Huljich, our Head of 
Real Estate and Funds Management, and 
Simon Holt, our CFO. 

I thank all the Centuria management team for 
your continued drive towards excellence and 
enhancing Centuria’s platform. 

It would be remiss of me not to mention 
that on 13 September 2018, Propertylink 
Group (PLG) announced to the market an 
unsolicited, non-binding and indicative 
proposal to acquire all of the outstanding 
units in the Centuria Industrial REIT 
(CIP). In response, on 2 October 2018, 
an Independent Board Committee of 
Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited as 
responsible entity of CIP, formally rejected 
that proposal.

Further, on 20 September 2018 CNI called 
on PLG to requisition an Extraordinary 
general meeting to vote on a board spill of 
PLG. These steps were taken reluctantly 
but with the sole interests of CNI unit 
holders as we hold a substantial interest 
in PLG. Events may have overtaken the 
print lead time of this letter but we will 
keep all CNI securityholders informed of 
any developments.

To conclude, I would once again like to 
thank my fellow directors on both the 
group and responsible entity boards for 
their commitment and dedication towards 
delivering quality results in 2018. Your 
collegiate approach to developing a 
framework for success makes it a pleasure 
to serve alongside you.

Finally, to our securityholders, thank you 
for your ongoing support for Centuria. We 
remain committed to creating value on your 
behalf. I look forward to discussing our 
results with you at our upcoming AGM.

CENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018Chief Executive’s Report

John McBain 

GROUP CEO   |   Centuria Capital Group

I have great pleasure in presenting the 2018 Centuria Capital 
Group (Centuria) Annual Report. The 2018 annual report 
provides investors the first opportunity to see Centuria’s 
results over a full year period following the significant scaling 
up of our platform in 2017. 

This growth was achieved alongside strong securityholder 
returns with a 23.3% total securityholder return1 delivered to 
investors in FY18. Moreover, operating earnings2 per stapled 
security of 16.3cps were delivered, along with a distribution 
per stapled security of 8.2cps. 

Many of you will be aware that the financial services market 
is undergoing public review, which we believe will bring about 
significant changes within the sector and in the manner that 
investment products are generated and distributed. Centuria 
remains abreast of these developments and we believe that 
our reputation, our strong performance record and most of all 
the position of trust we enjoy with our investors positions us 
well for the future.

Centuria’s strong performance over the FY18 financial year 
has been underpinned by the scalable nature of our funds 
management platform. Our strong growth in assets under 
management has translated into a significant increase in 
property funds management operating profit in particular.

I am very pleased by our progress to date against our stated 
objective to build a larger scale business driven by high 
quality, recurring earnings. 

FY18 has seen continued momentum towards expanding 
Centuria’s platform with total assets under management 
increasing 29% to $4.9 billion. Additionally, recurring 
revenues increased to $67.0 million, representing 66.5% of 
total revenues (90% excluding performance fees revenue). 

Total securityholder returns (including dividends) have 
performed strongly and consistently over the past four financial 
periods averaging over 20% per annum.

EXPANDED PROPERTY FUNDS MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

Centuria manages two leading listed A-REITs, each with 
different mandates, Centuria Metropolitan REIT (CMA) and 
Centuria Industrial REIT (CIP) as well as unlisted property 
funds management and an investment bonds subsidiary.

Because of this increased breadth of capital sources, 
Centuria has significantly greater opportunities to acquire 
a wider range of assets, positioning the real estate platform 
for further growth. 

Co-investments also continued to contribute strongly, 
increasing to $278 million as at 30 June 2018. In particular, 
increased stakes in both CMA and CIP throughout the  
year further aligned Centuria’s interests with CMA and  
CIP unitholders.

During 2018, Centuria Capital acquired a 9.3% strategic stake 
in Propertylink Group (ASX:PLG), which further increased to 
11.4%3. The holding had a carrying value of $59 million as at 
30 June 2018 and contributed $4.1 million to Group revenue 
during FY18.

PROPERTY FUNDS MANAGEMENT

The Property Funds Management business, led by Jason 
Huljich, has enjoyed great success throughout the year. During 
FY18, Jason was appointed Head of Real Estate and Funds 
Management. This appointment follows his leadership of 
Centuria’s unlisted property funds division for the past 12 years. 

Real estate assets under management grew to $4.0 billion 
in FY18, a 33.3% increase on the prior year. This was driven 
by a $1.1 billion increase from acquisitions and revaluations. 
Concurrently, Centuria divested $0.3 billion of AUM, including 
the sale of 10 Spring Street, Sydney NSW, which attracted a 
substantial performance fee.

Core Property Management operating profit grew 59%1 year 
on year excluding the effect of significant performance fees 
generated in the period. These strong, underlying earnings  
are a major profit driver for the group.

Along with launching three new unlisted funds,  
attracting strong investor demand, our listed REITs,  
CMA and CIP continued to generate strong interest.

Both REITs are now included in the S&P/ASX 300 index, 
representing $1.0 billion2 and $1.1 billion of assets under 
management and market capitalisations of $601 million3 
and $638 million3 at 30 June 2018, respectively. 

During FY18 we continued to expand the Centuria Diversified 
Property Fund. This is an open-ended unlisted fund, which 
is independently rated and is principally accessed by financial 
advisers on investment and superannuation wrap platforms.

The fund is growing strongly and is an important adjunct to 
Centuria’s traditional single asset unlisted property funds.

Centuria’s property division is supported by Centuria’s 
in-house management platform and continues to source 
opportunities in metropolitan office and industrial markets 
across Australia.

CENTURIA LIFE

The Centuria Life subsidiary, led by Michael Blake, continues 
to build on more than a 35 year heritage of managing and 
distributing tax-effective investment bonds under the APRA-
regulated Friendly Society regime.

Michael was appointed as Head of Centuria Life during FY18 after 
holding a senior executive position in Centuria’s property division 
for the past three years. Michael is an experienced operator and 
has a remit to refocus the investment bond division on a new, 
contemporary suite of investment products and to widely market 
these products through our financial adviser ‘approved product 
list’ channel.

06

Presently, Centuria is the fourth largest Insurance Bond 
manager in Australia, managing $0.9 billion of AUM at FY18 
close, up 12.5% over the year from $0.8 billion.

We have made a concentrated effort to expand our 
distribution capacity across our national footprint. During 
FY18, we strengthened our distribution team and refocused 
our representatives such that they now market both property 
and investment bond products.

OUTLOOK

Now, more than ever, it is important we maintain our client-first 
philosophy and ensure that investors both in our managed 
funds and in Centuria Capital itself are confident in the 
transparency and fairness in our dealings. Our reputation, 
carefully built over twenty years, differentiates us when clients 
are seeking to entrust us with their funds and is a fundamental 
driver of Centuria’s success in equity raisings.

Centuria Capital continues to be well placed for near-term 
inclusion in the S&P/ASX 300 index, and management remains 
focused on continued, strong organic funds growth whilst 
remaining active in assessing and executing on corporate 
initiatives where these are logical and support the overall 
growth of Centuria Capital.

I want to take a personal opportunity to thank our extremely 
committed and driven staff and my fellow senior managers 
for their hard work and dedication during FY18. The 
appointment of Jason Huljich as Head of Real Estate and 
Funds Management is an important step for the Group. 
Jason’s experience and reputation are second to none.

Our Chairman and my fellow directors are highly committed 
and extremely generous with their time and expertise. They give 
unendingly of their time as we go through this period of strong 
growth and I want to personally thank the directors of the Group 
board and the responsible entity boards for their immense 
contributions in FY18.

Finally, I assure you that the team at Centuria is dedicated 
to continuing our pace of growth, and I wish to thank 
securityholders sincerely for the confidence you place in  
us and the support you give us.

Unlisted Property
Centuria operates one of Australia’s leading unlisted property 
funds management businesses. 

DIVESTMENT OF 10 SPRING STREET, SYDNEY, NSW 
DELIVERS STRONG PERFORMANCE FEE

Assets under management (AUM) increased 18.9% to $1.9 
billion in FY18. Three new unlisted funds were established and 
the Centuria Diversified Property Fund continued to increase 
its AUM. 

 – 10 Spring Street, Sydney, NSW was divested in October 

2017 for $270.1 million, reflecting a sale price of $19,447 
per square metre and delivering a pre-tax net performance  
fee of $25.8 million.

Property funds management fees continue to be a high 
contributor towards Centuria’s group revenues. Moreover, 
the unlisted funds continue to be recognised for their high 
performance with six funds being listed in the top  
10 Property Council/IPD Unlisted Core Retail Property Fund 
Index each quarter over the last five quarters1.

GROWING THE PLATFORM WITH HIGH-QUALITY ASSETS

During the year, we continued to improve the quality of our 
unlisted portfolio with the purchase of three assets: 

 – 80 Grenfell Street, Adelaide, SA was purchased for 

$184.6 million and comprises a 50% unlisted fund known 
as the Centuria 80 Grenfell Street Fund and a 50% partnership 
with the Lederer Group. At the time of acquisition, the 
A Grade asset had a 7.3 year weighted average lease expiry 
(WALE) by income and was 96% occupied by Bendigo & 
Adelaide Bank, Australia’s fifth largest retail bank. 

 – 60 Brougham Street, Geelong, VIC was purchased for 

$115.25 million. At acquisition, the asset was 100% occupied 
with 94% of its income underpinned by a long-term lease to 
the AAA-rated Victorian Government entity, TAC.

 – 1231-1241 Sandgate Road, Brisbane, QLD was purchased for 
$106 million in the growing metropolitan market of Nundah. At 
the time of acquisition, the property had an attractive 9.4 year 
WALE and over 80% of the income is underpinned by state 
government owned entities.

EXPANDING DISTRIBUTION TO ALIGNED ADVISERS  
AND RETAIL INVESTORS

The Centuria Diversified Property Fund (CDPF) continued to 
expand its reach throughout the year. The unlisted property 
fund increased its assets under management from $13 million 
to $37 million. In comparison to close-ended funds, this multi-
asset open-ended fund has daily unit pricing and applications, 
monthly distributions and offers liquidity through a limited 
monthly redemption feature. CDPF recorded a 10.99%2  
12 month total return.

CDPF has a diversified asset allocation across a mix of  
unlisted property schemes, listed index REITs and cash,  
and is well positioned to consider opportunities for acquiring 
direct assets. CDPF is accepted on eight investment and 
superannuation wrap platforms.

INVESTOR APPETITE FOR UNLISTED FUNDS CONTINUES

As we continue to pursue our objective of delivering  
quality investment products, we remain committed to 
unlocking opportunities that offer attractive yields and  
asset fundamentals. 

We anticipate continued demand for well-managed property 
investment products, amid the current environment of 
increased investor appetite and low interest rates.

Case Study 

10 Spring Street, Sydney, NSW

A Centuria fund acquired a Sydney 
CBD office building in June 2013 
for $91.6 million. 

Following acquisition, Centuria’s in house 
property management team commenced 
executing several key strategic 
initiatives to maximise value within 
the asset. Notably, these included 
a comprehensive refurbishment of 
foyers, amenities and the retail arcade. 
Additionally, significant leasing was 
achieved, resulting in 100% occupancy1 
at the time of divestment, reflecting 
an increase from 81% at the time of 
acquisition. Average passing rental 
levels also increased by 32% over the 
same timeframe. 

In October 2017, the property 
was divested for $270.1 million, 
representing an uplift in property 
value from purchase to sale of 300% 
and an average price of $19,447 
per square metre.

The sale of 10 Spring Street, Sydney 
delivered a pre-tax net performance

Listed Property 
Our listed property division has excelled 
at executing on a broad range of strategic 
initiatives and milestones throughout 
the year. Management has remained 
focused on fostering extensive 
relationships across investment markets, 
allowing both REITs to unlock ‘pockets 
of value’.

During FY18, both CMA and CIP 
increased in scale and relevance. The 
combined AUM of both REITs increased 
to $2.1 billion and both entities were 
included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index. 

Core to our business is an attentive 
focus on establishing and enhancing 
relationships with our tenant customers. 
Both REITs have remained committed 
to identifying and delivering active 
asset management initiatives that are 
relevant to the needs of our quality 
customer base.

These outcomes have had the added 
benefit of improving the occupancy 
and WALE for both of CMA’s and 
CIP’s portfolios. During the financial 
period, our strong push towards active 
management initiatives have also 
resulted in CIP delivering record leasing 
volumes and CMA achieving its highest 
occupancy rate since inception. 

Centuria Capital Group continued to 
increase its commitment to the REIT 
sector during the year. The Group’s 
co-investments in both CMA and CIP 
represented around $193 million as 
at 30 June 2018. This made Centuria 
the largest investor in CMA and CIP, 
further aligning the Group’s interests 
to unitholders.

Additionally, these co-investments, 
along with management fees, 
contributed to the growth in the 
Group’s recurring revenues during 
the financial year.

Investment sentiment continues 
to support quality office assets in 
metropolitan markets while occupiers 
seek accommodation that is well suited 
to their business requirements.

Underlying rental conditions remain 
favourable in several sub-markets, 
particularly those that have been 
impacted by low vacancy and relative 
supply constraints in the near term. 
CMA’s expertise in metropolitan markets 
has it well placed to continue building 
Australia’s pre-eminent metropolitan 
office REIT.

Industrial markets remain well 
supported by economic tailwinds 
regarding e-commerce and last 
mile logistics requirements while 
manufacturing is benefitting from 
technological advancements and lower 
exchange rates.

As demand for well located, quality 
industrial space continues to develop, 
CIP remains focused on meeting 
tenant requirements and assessing 
opportunities to unlock further 
investment opportunities as we 
continue to build Australia’s dominant 
income focused industrial REIT.

In FY18, CMA joined the S&P/ASX 300 
index, an important milestone enhancing 
the REIT’s relevance within the 
Australian equity market.

CMA’s portfolio contains 19 high quality, 
nationally diversified assets with a book 
value of $930.5 million. With a total net 
lettable area of over 184,000 square 
metres, CMA’s portfolio is underpinned 
by quality tenants with diverse income 
streams.

Since its initial public offering in 
December 2014 through to 30 June 
2018, CMA has delivered a strong 
total return of 58.8%3, outperforming 
the S&P/ASX 300 AREIT index, which 
returned 45.7%3 over the same period.

CONTINUING TO IMPROVE THE 
QUALITY OF CMA’S PORTFOLIO

During the year CMA acquired four 
assets for a total of $210.9 million. 
The assets increased CMA’s portfolio 
exposure to NSW and WA. At acquisition, 
these assets provided an average initial 
yield of 7.8%4, 3.9 year WALE by income 
and 100% occupancy by area.

Additionally, CMA divested of two 
assets for a combined $46.3 million 
and at an average 24.1% premium 
to book value.

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT DRIVES 
PORTFOLIO OCCUPANCY TO HIGHEST 
SINCE INCEPTION

Centuria’s concentrated effort 
towards asset repositioning, hands 
on active management and enhancing 
tenant relationships has contributed 
to 17,790 square metres (9.75% of 
portfolio NLA) of leasing activity through 
the year. These transactions have led 
to an occupancy by area of 98.9%, 
the portfolio’s highest since inception 
and a WALE by income of 4.0 years. 

Additionally, CMA benefitted from an 
NTA uplift of 7.3% to $2.495 per unit with 
revaluations underpinned by leasing 
initiatives and continued investment 
demand. During the year CMA also 
generated a return on equity (ROE)  
of 14.9%6 for unitholders.

RECORD LEASING DEALS

BUILDING A QUALITY  
PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

CIP’s portfolio benefitted from over 
$160 million in transactions through FY18. 

Four direct real estate assets were 
acquired off market for a combined $78.4 
million. These assets provided an average 
initial yield of 8.2%3 with an average 
WALE over 7 years. Three of the properties 
also adjoin existing CIP assets within the 
portfolio.

Two assets were divested for a 
combined $40.1 million. These assets 
provided an average 9.9% premium to 
book value and average internal rate 
of return of 17.0% during Centuria’s 
management period. 

Post 30 June 2018, CIP exchanged 
contracts for the $15.9 million 
acquisition of a logistics property in QLD.

CIP continued to remain extremely active 
within the leasing markets throughout 
the year. Leases were agreed across 
almost one third of the portfolio’s lettable 
area, improving occupancy to 94.5% 
by income and the portfolio WALE by 
income to 5.1 years.

Over 65% of the agreed leases were 
generated with the portfolio’s top ten 
tenants.

ACCELERATED DE-LEVERAGING 
AND NTA UPLIFT

CIP recorded revaluation gains of $61 
million3 in FY18, driving an NTA increase 
of 8.9%. The uplift was underpinned by 
strong success in leasing outcomes and 
capitalisation rate compression. As a 
result, return on equity (ROE) of 17.2%5 
was achieved in FY18.

Importantly, CIP also delivered on a key 
focus of lowering its gearing6, which fell 
4.7% to 38.4% in FY18. This result is the 
first time that gearing has fallen below 
40% since the initial public offering 
(IPO).

CIP purchased a 7.7% interest in 
Propertylink (ASX: PLG), in September 
2017, for $44.2 million. The stake was 
sold in August 2018 with the capital 
being recycled into direct real estate 
opportunities. The stake provided a 13.0% 
per annum IRR during the holding period.

OUTLOOK

There is growing interest in investment bonds as a long term 
tax effective savings structure. With caps being imposed on 
superannuation contributions and fund balances, investors 
and financial planners are looking for proven tax effective 
alternatives. Investment bonds offer a simple structure with 
added benefits around estate planning, regular savings and 
access to funds.

As a result, interest in investment bonds is expected to 
continue, with current and proposed regulatory changes 
motivating financial advisers and self-directed investors to 
find alternative ways to create, transfer and protect wealth.

The business continues to assess opportunities for 
capitalising on the changing investment landscape. 
The strategies include improvements to the product 
and accessing an increased national distribution footprint 
supporting Investment Bonds and Property Funds across 
Centuria’s platform. Two new investment professionals 
were appointed during the year to further boost the in 
house investment capability.

We are finalising major enhancements to the product 
range that will be implemented over the coming 
12 months. This includes a new range of features and 
benefits to ensure the Centuria Life offering is positioned 
as market leading.

Centuria Life achieved market outperformance in FY18. As 
the fourth largest friendly society in Australia, the business 
represents 11.0% of a total $7.6 billion Australian market. 

The business is comprised of two friendly societies: Centuria 
Life and the Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society (Guardian).

In FY18, Investment Bonds represented $0.9 billion in assets 
under management including $0.4 billion under Centuria Life 
and $0.5 billion under Guardian Friendly Society; up 12.5% 
from $0.8 billion in the prior year. 

DEMAND GROWING FOR CENTURIA LIFE’S UNITISED BONDS

With a 35-year heritage, Centuria Life offers flexible, 
tax-effective investments through unitised investment bonds.  
It has a range of funds across the risk/return curve, ranging 
from cash plus to growth funds. Centuria Life has five 
investment options and is strongly supported by non-aligned 
adviser approved product lists.

In FY18, unitised bonds increased 23%, with AUM reaching 
$141 million. 

CONTINUED SECTOR GROWTH FOR FUNERAL PLANS

Guardian’s pre-paid funeral plans assets under management 
reached $508 million, an increase of 14% from 30 June 2017. 
Guardian manages the proceeds of pre-paid funeral plans, 
which are distributed by Invocare Limited.

BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH ADVISERS

Centuria Life is well-positioned in the non-aligned financial 
adviser market and wants to continue to build its relationships 
in this sector.

The business remains focused on building long-term, 
sustainable relationships in the retail financial advice market 
as the preferred investment bond provider for self-directed 
investors and non-aligned financial advisers.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE

There has not arisen in the interval between 30 June 2018 and the date hereof any item, transaction or event of a material

Directors’ ReportCENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The Group continues to pursue its strategy of focusing on  
its core operations, utilising a strengthened balance sheet  
to provide support to grow and develop these operations.

Further information about likely developments in the 
operations of the Group and the expected results of those 
operations in future financial years has not been included in 
this report because disclosure of the information would be 
likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Group’s operations are not subject to any significant 
environmental regulation.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS

The Company has agreed to indemnify all current and former 
directors and executive officers of the Company and its 
controlled entities against all liabilities to persons (other 
than the Company or a related body corporate) which arise 
out of the performance of their normal duties as a director 
or executive officer unless the liability relates to conduct 
involving a lack of good faith.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the directors and 
executive officers against all costs and expenses incurred 
in defending an action that falls within the scope of the 
indemnity and any resulting payments.

The directors have not included details of the nature of the 
liabilities covered or the amount of premium paid in respect 
of the Directors’ and Officers’ liability and legal expenses 
insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited under  
the terms of the contracts. The Company has not otherwise, 
during or since the end of the financial year, except to the 
extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an 
officer or auditor of the Company or any related body corporate

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

During the financial year, KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has 
performed services in addition to the audit and review of the 
financial statements. Details of amounts paid or payable to 
KPMG are outlined in Note F4 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit 
services during the year, by the auditor (or by another person 
or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general 
standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed 
in the financial statements do not compromise the external 
auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the 
Audit, Risk Management & Compliance committee, for the 
following reasons:

 – all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved  

to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and 
objectivity of the auditor; and

28

 – none of the services undermine the general principles 
relating to auditor independence as set out in Code 
of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & 
Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing 
the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or 
decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as 
advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic 
risks and rewards.

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required 
under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on 
page 36.

Directors’ ReportCENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018REMUNERATION POLICY AND LINK TO PERFORMANCE
The Group recognises the important role people play in the 
achievement of its long-term objectives and as a key source 
of competitive advantage. To grow and be successful, the 
Group must be able to attract, motivate and retain capable 
individuals. The Group’s remuneration policy focuses on the 
following:

 – Ensuring competitive rewards are provided to attract and 

retain executive talent;

 – Linking remuneration to performance so that higher levels 

of performance attract higher rewards;

 – Aligning rewards of all staff, but particularly senior 

management, to the creation of value to shareholders;

 – Making sure the criteria used to assess and reward 

staff include financial and non-financial measures of 
performance;

 – Ensuring the overall cost of remuneration is managed and 

linked to the ability of the Group to pay; and

 – Ensuring severance payments due to the Chief Executive 

Officer on termination are limited to pre-established 
contractual arrangements which do not commit the Group 
to making any unjustified payments in the event of non-
performance.

The main objective in rewarding the Group’s senior 
management for their performances is to ensure that 
shareholders’ wealth is maximised through the Group’s 
continued growth. It is necessary to structure and strengthen 
this focus to drive this strategy so that they are aligned with 
the Group’s objectives and successes.

Under the remuneration policy, senior management’s 
remuneration includes a fixed remuneration component, 
short-term and long-term incentive arrangements. The 
long-term incentives are based on the Group’s performance 
for the year in reference to specific Earnings per Security 
(EPS) hurdles and Key Strategic Goals being met. The Group’s 
remuneration is directly related to the performance of the 
Group through the linking of short and long-term incentives to 
these financial and non-financial measures.

The short-term incentives are based on the individual’s 
performance in the preceding 12 months compared to pre-
agreed goals.

Where senior management is remunerated with shares, the 
Remuneration Policy places no limitations to their exposure to 
risk in relation to the shares.

Target incentive remuneration refers to the incentive pay 
provided for meeting performance requirements. Actual 
incentive remuneration can vary for senior management 
depending on the extent to which they meet performance 
requirements.

In accordance with the Group’s corporate governance, the 
structure of non-executive director and senior management 
remuneration is separate and distinct.

REMUNERATION OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT
Objective

The Group aims to reward senior management with a level and 
mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and 
responsibilities within the Group so as to:

 – Reward senior management for company, business unit and 
individual performance against targets set by reference to 
appropriate benchmarks;

 – Align the interests of senior management with those of 

stakeholders;

 – Link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of 

the Group; and

 – Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market 

standards.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of senior management 
remuneration, the Chief Executive Officer and Board have 
regard to market levels of remuneration for comparable 
executive roles.

Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed and variable 
remuneration and short and long-term performance-based 
incentives. The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration 
for senior management (excluding the Chief Executive 
Officer) is established by the Chief Executive Officer and the 
Nomination & Remuneration Committee. The proportion of 
fixed and variable remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer 
is established solely by the Nomination & Remuneration 
Committee. While the allocation may vary from period to period, 
the graph below details the approximate fixed and variable 
components for senior management.

Directors’ ReportCENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018(a) Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is 
calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges 
related to employee benefits including motor vehicles), as 
well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. For 
senior management excluding the Chief Executive Officer, this 
is reviewed annually by the Chief Executive Officer and the 
Nomination & Remuneration Committee. The process consists 
of a review of Group, business unit and individual performance 
as well as relevant comparative remuneration in the market. 
The same process is used by the Nomination & Remuneration 
Committee when reviewing the fixed remuneration of the Chief 
Executive Officer.

Senior management are given the opportunity to receive their 
fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and 
salary sacrifice items such as motor vehicles, motor vehicle 
allowances and/or additional superannuation contributions.

(b) Variable Remuneration
Under the Group’s Senior Management Remuneration Policy, 
long and short-term performance incentives may be made under 
the Group’s incentive plans. These are discussed further below.

(i) Short-term Incentives (STI)

The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement 
of the Group’s non-financial and financial targets with the 
remuneration received by senior management charged with 
meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is 
set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to senior 
management to achieve operational targets and such that  
the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances.

Term

Detail

At the Board’s absolute discretion, employees may be provided 
with the opportunity to receive an annual, performance-based 
incentive, either in the form of cash or the issue of shares in 
the Group, or a combination of both.

During the current financial year, the Group issued Nil (2017: 
Nil) ordinary securities to employees in addition to cash 
bonuses provided to employees. 

(ii) Long-term Incentives (LTI)

The Group has an Executive Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”) which 
forms a key element of the Group’s incentive and retention 
strategy for senior management under which Performance 
Rights (“Rights”) are issued.

The primary objectives of the Plan include:

 – focusing executives on the longer term performance of  
the Group to drive long term shareholder value creation;

 – ensure senior management remuneration outcomes 
 are aligned with shareholder interests, in particular,  
the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and

 – ensure remuneration is competitive and aligned with 

general market practice by ASX listed entities.

Rights issued under the LTI Plan are issued in accordance with 
the thresholds approved at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

A summary of the key terms of the Performance Rights are 
set out below.

Performance Rights 
(“Rights”)

Each Right is a right to receive a fully paid ordinary stapled security in the Group (“Security”), 
subject to meeting the Performance Conditions.

Upon meeting the Performance Conditions, the Rights vest and securities are allocated.

Rights do not carry a right to vote or to dividends or, in general, a right to participate in other 
corporate actions such as bonus issues.

Vesting conditions

The Rights will vest to the extent that the board determines that:

 – The performance conditions that apply to the Rights were satisfied; and

 – The employee was continuously employed by the Company until the end of the 

Performance Period.

Vesting date

The date on which the Board determines the extent to which the performance conditions are 
satisfied and the Rights vest.

Performance Conditions

The Performance Conditions set out in the LTI Plan relate to:

 – Growth in Earnings Per Share (“EPS hurdle”);

 – Growth in property and friendly society funds under management (“FUM Hurdle”); and

 – Absolute Total Securityholder Return Performance (“Absolute TSR Hurdle”).

The Group currently operates three tranches of the Executive Incentive Plan (“Plan”) as below.

Directors’ ReportCENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018KEY TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION

Chief Executive Officer
Mr John E. McBain, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer  
of the Group in April 2008. Mr John E. McBain is employed 
under contract. The summary of the major terms and conditions  
of his employment contract are as follows:

Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level 
that provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain 
directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that  
is acceptable to shareholders.

 – Fixed Compensation plus superannuation contributions;

 – Car parking within close proximity to the Company’s office;

 – Eligible to participate in the bonus program determined  

at the discretion of the Board;

 – The Group may terminate this employment contract by 

providing six months written notice or provide payment  
in lieu of the notice period plus an additional six months. 
Any payment in lieu of notice will be based on the total  
fixed compensation package; and

 – The Group may terminate the employment contract at any 
time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. 
When termination with cause occurs the CEO is only 
entitled to remuneration up to the date of termination.

Other senior management (standard contracts)
All senior management are employed under contract. The 
Group may terminate their employment agreement by providing 
between three and six months written notice or providing 
payment in lieu of the notice period (based on the total fixed 
compensation package), and in the case of Mr Jason C. Huljich 
by payment of an additional six months.

Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that  
the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors  
shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. 
An amount not exceeding the aggregate amount determined 
is then divided between the directors as agreed. An aggregate 
maximum amount of not more than $2,000,000 per year was 
approved at the 2017 Annual General Meeting.

Directors’ Fees
Each director receives a fee for being a director of Group 
companies and an additional fee is paid to the Chairman  
and to the Chairman of each Board Committee. The payment  
of the additional fees to each Chairman recognises the 
additional time commitment and responsibility associated  
with the position.

CENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018A  About the report

GENERAL INFORMATION

A2 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The shares in Centuria Capital Limited, (the ‘Company’) and 
the units in Centuria Capital Fund (‘CCF’) are stapled to trade 
together as a single stapled security (‘Stapled Security’) on 
the ASX as ‘Centuria Capital Group’ (the ‘Group’) under the 
ticker code ‘CNI’.

The accounting policies and methods of computation in  
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements  
are consistent with those adopted in the previous financial 
year ended 30 June 2017 unless specifically outlined below or  
in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Group is a for-profit entity and its principal activities are the 
marketing and management of investment products, including 
property investment funds and friendly society investment 
bonds, and co-investment in property investment funds.

When the presentation or classification of items in the 
consolidated financial statements has been amended, 
comparative amounts are also reclassified, unless it is 
impractical.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The consolidated financial statements are general  
purpose financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards adopted  
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and  
the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial 
statements comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting 
Standards Board (IASB).

The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprising 
the Company (as ‘Parent’) and its controlled entities for the 
year ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue by the 
Group’s Board of Directors on 14 August 2018.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared  
on the basis of historical cost, except for financial assets at  
fair value through profit and loss, other financial assets, 
investment properties and derivative financial instruments 
which have been measured at fair value at the end of each 
reporting period. Cost is based on the fair values of the 
consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts 
are presented in Australian dollars, which is the company’s 
functional currency, unless otherwise noted.

Assets and liabilities have been presented on the face of the 
statement of financial position in decreasing order of liquidity 
and do not distinguish between current and non-current items.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
The Group is an entity of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative 
Instrument 2016/191, related to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts  
in the Directors’ Report and financial statements. Amounts 
in the Directors’ Report and financial statements have been 
rounded off, in accordance with the instrument to the nearest 
thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner  
that ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies 
the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring 
that the substance of the underlying transactions or other 
events are reported.

These financial statements contain all significant 
accounting policies that summarise the recognition and 
measurement basis used and which are relevant to provide 
an understanding of the financial statements. Accounting 
policies that are specific to a note to the financial statements 
are described in the note to which they relate.

A3  

USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES 

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, 
management has made judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies 
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income  
and expense that are not readily apparent from other sources. 
The judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on 
historical experience and other factors that are considered to  
be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting 
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts 
recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included 
in the following notes:

 – Note C5 Investment properties

 – Note C6 Intangible assets

 – Note F3 Financial instruments

A4  

SEGMENT SUMMARY 

As at 30 June 2018 the Group has four reportable operating segments. These reportable operating segments are the  
divisions which report to the Group’s Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors for the purpose of resource allocation  
and assessment of performance. 

The reportable operating segments are:

Operating Segments

Description

Property Funds Management

Management of listed and unlisted property funds

Investment Bonds Management

Co-Investments

Corporate

Management of the Benefit Funds of Centuria Life Limited and management
of the Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited. The Benefit Funds
include a range of financial products, including single and multi-premium
investments.

Direct interest in property funds and other liquid investments

Overheads for supporting the Group’s operating segments and management
of a reverse mortgage lending portfolio

For the year ended 30 June 2018, Reverse Mortgages is no longer considered a separated operating segment on the basis that  
it is not significant to the Group and has been included in the Corporate operating segment.

In addition, the Group also provides disclosures in relation to a further four non-operating segments, which are:

Non-operating segments

Description

Non-operating items

Benefit Funds

Controlled Property Funds

Eliminations

Comprises transaction costs, mark-to-market movements on property and
derivative financial instruments, and all other non-operating activities

Represents the operating results and financial position of the Benefit Funds
which are required to be consolidated in the Group’s financial statements in
accordance with accounting standards

Represents the operating results and financial position of property funds
which are controlled by the Group and consolidated under accounting
standards

Elimination of transactions between the operating segments and the other
three non-operating segments above

Where relevant, comparative financial information has been restated to ensure consistency in presentation of financial information 
across the applicable comparative periods.

The accounting policies of reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Refer below for an analysis of the Group’s segment results:

 – Note B1 Segment profit and loss

 – Note C1 Segment balance sheet

 – Note D1 Operating segment cash flows

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic 
benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

(i) Management fees
Management fees are recognised on an accruals basis when the Group has the right to receive payment.

(ii) Property transaction fees, sale fees and performance fees
Property acquisition fees are recognised when an investment property has been acquired in a fund managed by the Group.

Sales and performance fees derived from managed funds are recognised upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the sale 
of an investment property.

(iii) Sale of development properties
Revenue from the sale of apartments is recognised at the fair value of the consideration receivable when the significant risks and 
rewards of ownership have been transferred to the purchaser and where there is no continuing management involvement, which 
normally coincides with settlement of the contract for sale.

(iv) Interest revenue
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding using the effective interest rate method.

(v) Rent and recoverable outgoings
Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Recoverable outgoings are recognised on an accrual basis.

(vi) Distribution/dividend revenue
Distribution/dividend revenue from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been 
established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be 
measured reliably).

(i) Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties
Investments in property funds and benefit funds held by certain directors and director-related entities are made on the same 
terms and conditions as all other persons. Directors and director-related entities receive the same returns on these investments 
as all other investors and policyholders.

The Company and its related parties entered into transactions, which are insignificant in amount, with directors and their director-
related entities in their domestic dealings and are made in arm’s length transactions at nor-mal market prices and on normal 
commercial terms.

The Group pays some expenses on behalf of related entities and receives a reimbursement for these payments.

CENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018Notes to the consolidated financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a 
legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes 
levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends  
to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(iii) Tax consolidation
The Company and all its wholly owned Australian resident 
companies are part of a tax consolidated group under 
Australian taxation law. The Company is the head entity in 
the tax consolidated group. Tax expense/benefit, deferred 
tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary 
differences of the members of the tax consolidated group 
are recognised in their separate financial statements using 
a ‘standalone tax payer’ approach. Under the tax funding 
arrangement between members of the tax consolidated group, 
amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by each 
member in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid 
or payable between Company and the members of the tax 
consolidated group.

Centuria Capital Fund (CCF) and its subsidiaries are not 
 part of the tax consolidation group. Under current Australian 
income tax legislation, Trusts are not liable for income tax, 
provided their securityholders are presently entitled to the 
taxable income of the Trust including realised capital gains 
each financial year.

The Benefit Funds are part of the tax consolidated group,  
and they are allocated a share of the income tax liability 
attributable to Centuria Life Limited equal to the income  
tax liability that would have arisen to the Benefit Funds 
had they been stand alone.

(iv) Current and deferred tax for the period
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity 
are recognised directly in equity and not in the statement 
of comprehensive income. In the case of a business 
combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting  
for the business combination.

TAXATION (CONTINUED)

(D) CAPITAL TAX LOSSES
At 30 June 2018, the Group has $nil (2017: $373,750) tax 
effected unrecognised capital tax losses.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently 
payable and deferred tax.

(i) Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. 
Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated 
profit or loss because of items of income or expense that 
are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are 
never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current 
tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the 
corresponding tax bases.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable 
temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for 
all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax 
offsets, to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future 
taxable profits will be available to utilise them.

However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not 
recognised for:

 – taxable temporary differences that arise from the initial 
recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is 
not a business combination which affects neither taxable 
income nor accounting profit;

 – taxable temporary differences relating to investments in 
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent 
that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal  
of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will 
not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

 – taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the 
end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that 
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be 
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax  
rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the 
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and 
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by 
the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred 
tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that 
would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, 
at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the 
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

The earnings used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per security is the profit for the year attributable to Centuria 
Capital Group securityholders as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The weighted average number of ordinary securities used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per security is as 
follows:

(i)  The weighted average number of ordinary securities used in the calculation of diluted earnings per security is determined:  

– as if 30 June 2018 was the end of the performance period of the grants of Rights under the LTI plan. All Rights that would have vested if 30 June 2018  
   was the end of the performance period are deemed to have been issued at the start of the financial year.  
– as if 20,098,470 unexercised options with an exercise price of $1.30 per option have been converted to ordinary securities at the start of the financial year.

less an allowance for impairment. Due to the short-term nature of these financial rights, their carrying amounts are estimated  
to represent their fair values.

FINANCIAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is  
under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market  
concerned, and are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified  
as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss when the financial asset is either  
held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on  
remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend  
or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the statement of comprehensive income.

Reverse mortgage loan receivable financial assets are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest  
method less impairment.

The fair values listed above do not include estimated selling costs which are expected to be incurred upon disposal. 

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Investment properties are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale  
transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. These investment properties  
are carried at fair value. The valuation techniques to determine the fair value of investment properties held for sale are  
the same as the valuation techniques of investment properties described in Note C5(a).

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties 
are initially recorded at cost which includes stamp duty and other transaction costs. Subsequently, the investment properties are 
measured at fair value with any change in value recognised in profit or loss. The carrying amount of investment properties includes 
components relating to deferred rent, lease incentives and leasing fees.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the 
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in 
which the property is derecognised.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)

KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

(A) VALUATION TECHNIQUES AND SIGNIFICANT 
UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
The fair value of the investment properties were determined  
by the Directors of the Responsible Entity of the relevant 
funds or by an external, independent valuer having an 
appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent 
experience in the location and category of the properties 
being valued. Fair value is based on market values, being the 
estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged 
on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and willing 
seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing 
wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, 
prudently and without compulsion.

The valuations were prepared by considering the following 
valuation methodologies:

 – Capitalisation approach: the annual net rental income is 
capitalised at an appropriate market yield to arrive at the 
property’s market value. Appropriate capital adjustments 
are then made where necessary to reflect the specific cash 
flow profile and the general characteristics of the property.

 – Discounted cash flow approach: this approach incorporates 
the estimation of future annual cash flows over a 10 year 
period by reference to expected rental growth rates, 
ongoing capital expenditure, terminal sale value and 
acquisition and disposal costs. The present value of future 
cash flows is then determined by the application of an 
appropriate discount rate to derive a net present value  
for the property. 

 – Direct comparison approach: this approach identifies 

comparable sales on a dollar per square metre of lettable 
area basis and compares the equivalent rates to the 
property being valued to determine the property’s  
market value.

The valuations reflect, when appropriate, the type of tenants 
actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease 
commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting of 
vacant accommodation and the market’s general perception 
of their credit-worthiness; the allocation of maintenance and 
insurance responsibilities between the lessor and lessee; 
and the remaining economic life of the property. It has been 
assumed that whenever rent reviews or lease renewals are 
pending with anticipated reversionary increases, all notices 
and, where appropriate, counter notices have been served 
validly and within the appropriate time.

(B) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The fair value measurement of investment properties has 
been categorised as a Level 3 fair value as it is derived from 
valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based  
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Indefinite life management rights

Goodwill

Balance at the beginning of the period

Acquired goodwill

Acquired management rights

Goodwill and management rights are solely attributable to 
the Property Funds Management cash generating unit with 
recoverability determined by a value in use calculation using 
profit and loss projections covering a five year period, with a 
terminal value determined after five years.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

(i) Indefinite life management rights
Management rights acquired in a business combination are 
initially measured at fair value and reflect the right to provide 
asset and fund management services in accordance with the 
management agreements.

(ii) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured at 
cost and subsequently measured at cost less any impairment 
losses. The cost represents the excess of the cost of a 
business combination over the fair value of the identifiable 
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.

(iii) Impairment
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful  
life are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might 
be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that  
the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the 
asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For 
the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at 
the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable 
cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows 
from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units 
or CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that were 
previously impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the 
impairment at each reporting date.

KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations  
for the Property Funds Management cash-generating unit  
are as follows:

REVENUE
Revenues in 2019 are based on the Board approved budget 
for 2019 and are assumed to increase at a rate of 7.5% (2017: 
7.5%) per annum for years 2020-2022. The directors believe 
this is a prudent and achievable growth rate based on past 
experience.

EXPENSES
Expenses in 2019 are based on the budget for 2019 and are 
assumed to increase at a rate of 5.0% (2017: 5.0%) per annum 
for the years 2020-2022. The directors believe this is an 
appropriate growth rate based on past experience.

DISCOUNT RATE
Discount rates are determined to calculate the present value  
of future cash flows. A pre-tax rate of 10.28% (2017: 10.59%)  
is applied to cash flow projections. In determining the 
appropriate discount rate, regard has been given to relevant 
market data as well as Company specific inputs.

TERMINAL GROWTH RATE
Beyond 2022, a growth rate of 3% (2017: 3%), in line with 
long term economic growth, has been applied to determine 
the terminal value of the asset.

SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN ASSUMPTIONS
As at 30 June 2018, the estimated recoverable amount of intangibles including goodwill relating to the Property Funds 
Management cash-generating unit exceeded its carrying amount by $175.2 million (2017: $76.8 million). The table below shows 
the key assumptions used in the value in use calculation and the amount by which each key assumption must change in isolation 
in order for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to its carrying value:

BUSINESS COMBINATION

(A) CURRENT YEAR
During the current year, there were no business combinations.

(B) PRIOR YEAR

(i) Stapling
The stapling of the Company and Centuria Captial Fund (CCF) 
was approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the 
shareholders of the Company on 10 October 2016. Following 
approval of the stapling, shares in the Company and units in 
CCF were stapled to one another on 17 October 2016 and are 
traded as a single security on the ASX.

CCF was established by the transfer of the Company’s 
interest in Centuria Metropolitan REIT (‘CMA’) and other Co-
investments to CCF in exchange for $52,535,795 in equity of 
CCF. Assets transferred to CCF were transferred at fair value. 
As the co-investments were already held at fair value, there 
was no impact on the consolidated net assets. CCL distributed 
$52,535,795 of its units in CCF to its shareholders through a 
$13,331,181 dividend and a capital distribution of $39,204,614.

In relation to the stapling of the Company and CCF, the 
Company is identified as the parent of the Group with the 
acquisition accounted for as a change in ownership without a 
loss of control. The issued units of CCF are not owned by the 
Company and are presented as non-controlling interests in 
the Group even though units in CCF are held directly by the 
shareholders of the Company.

The equity in the net assets of CCF and the profit/(loss) 
arising from those net assets have been separately identified 
in the statements of comprehensive income and financial 
position. CCF’s contributed equity and retained earnings/
accumulated losses are shown as a non-controlling interest 
in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with 
accounting standards.

(i) 360 Capital acquisition
On 23 November 2016, the Group announced the purchase 
of all of the shares in Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited 
(formerly 360 Capital Investment Management Limited) 
(‘CPF2L’) and associated management rights over listed 
and unlisted property investment funds for which CPF2L is 
the responsible entity from 360 Capital Group Limited (‘360 
Capital’). Also as part of the acquisition, the Group agreed to 
acquire various stakes in those listed and unlisted funds.

The acquisition of shares in CPF2L and the interests in the 
listed and unlisted property investment funds (collectively,  
the ‘Transaction’) was settled on 9 January 2017.

This acquisition was funded by a combination of debt, equity 
and existing cash reserves, including $150,000,000 capital 
raised from new and existing institutional investors, and a 
vendor loan amounting to $50,000,000.

The acquisition also included a call option and a put option 
over stakes in the four unlisted property investment funds 
managed by CPF2L with a maximum option period of 2 years 
following completion of the acquisition.

This acquisition is part of the Group’s strategy in growing its 
property funds management platform and increasing recurring 
revenues through additional co-investment in managed funds.

TRANSACTION RELATED COSTS 
Transaction related costs of $9,591,064 were incurred of which $2,707,750 were included in expenses in profit or loss and 
$6,883,314 were recognised directly in contributed equity.

CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Group to guarantee the distribution yield on co-investment stakes in 
unlisted property funds subject to put and call options to 7.5%. The contingent consideration liability recognised reflects the 
Group’s expectation of the fair value of the amounts to be paid over the contingent period. The distributions are expected to be 
less than the guaranteed return.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the 
Group. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of acquisition) of 
assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. 
Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

During the year ended 30 June 2017, as part of the 360 Capital Transaction, the Group gained control over four unlisted property 
funds including Centuria 111 St Georges Terrace Fund, Centuria Retail Fund, Centuria Havelock House Fund and Centuria 441 
Murray Street Fund. In 2017, these funds have been consolidated in these financial statements. As at 30 June 2018, Centuria 
Havelock House Fund and Centuria Murray Street Fund have been deconsolidated from these financial statements.

*** As at 30 June 2018, Centuria Diversified Property Fund has been deconsolidated from these financial statements.

Recognition and measurement

(i) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the 
Company. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity 
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included  
in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are 
eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The Company is required by AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements to recognise the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and 
equity of the benefit funds of its subsidiary, Centuria Life Limited (the “Benefit Funds”). The assets and liabilities of the Benefit 
Funds do not impact the net profit after tax or the equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company and the shareholders 
of the Company have no rights over the assets and liabilities held in the Benefit Funds. The Company has majority representation 
on the Board of the Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited (Guardian). However, as Guardian is a mutual organisation, the 
Company has no legal rights to Guardian’s net assets, nor does it derive any benefit from exercising its power and therefore does 
not control Guardian.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

(A) LTI PLAN DETAILS
The Company has an Executive Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”) which forms a key element of the Company’s incentive and retention 
strategy for senior executives under which Performance Rights (“Rights”) are issued.

Each employee receives ordinary security of the Group on vesting of the performance rights. No amounts are paid or payable 
by the recipient on receipt of the performance rights or on vesting. The performance rights carry neither rights to dividends nor 
voting rights prior to vesting.

It is expected that future annual grants of performance rights will be made, subject to the Board’s determination of the overall 
performance of the Group and market conditions. The vesting of any performance rights awarded will be subject to attainment  
of appropriate performance hurdles and on the basis of continuing employment with the Group.

Further details of the LTI Plan are included in the Audited remuneration report from page 30 to page 33.

The performance objectives for 1,672,133 of the performance rights issued under Trance 3 were met in full by 30 June 2018. As a 
result, these rights will vest on 31 August 2018. 

(B) MEASUREMENT OF FAIR VALUES
The fair value of the rights was calculated using a binomial tree valuation methodology for the Rights with non-market vesting 
conditions and a Monte-Carlo simulation for the Rights with market vesting conditions.

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the rights were as follows:

During the year, share based payment expenses were recognised of $1,478,291 (2017: $448,247).

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the grant date.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the 
vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the 
Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates 
with respect to non-market vesting conditions, if any, is recognised in profit for the year such that the cumulative expense reflects 
the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

GUARANTEES TO BENEFIT  
FUND POLICYHOLDERS

Centuria Life Limited (CLL) provides a guarantee to 
policyholders of two of its Benefit Funds, Centuria Capital 
Guaranteed Bond Fund and Centuria Income Accumulation 
Fund as follows:

If, when CLL, in light of the Bonds, is required under the bond 
rules to pay policy benefits to a policy owner as a consequence 
of the termination of the Bond or the maturity or surrender 
of a policy, and CLL determines that the sums to be paid 
to the policy owner from the bonds shall be less than the 
amounts standing to the credit of the relevant accumulation 
account balance, (or in the case of a partial surrender, the 
relevant proportion of the accumulation account balance), 
CLL guarantees to take all action within its control, including 
making payment from its management fund to the policy owner 
to ensure that the total sums received by the policy owner as  
a consequence of the termination, maturity or surrender equal 
the relevant accumulation account balance, (or) in the case of  
a partial surrender, the relevant proportion thereof.

No provision has been raised in respect of these guarantees  
at this time for the following reasons:

 – The funds follow an investment strategy that is appropriate 
for the liabilities of the fund. The Fund cannot alter their 
investment strategy without the approval of the members 
and APRA, following a report from the appointed actuary;

 – The funds must meet the capital adequacy standards of 
APRA which results in additional re-serves being held 
within the funds to enable the funds to withstand a “shock” 
in the market value of assets. If the Funds can withstand 
a shock in asset values and still meet their liabilities from 
their own reserves, then this further reduces the likelihood  
of the Funds calling on the guarantee provided; and

 – CLL also continues to meet the ongoing capital 

requirements set by APRA.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(A) MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Board is ultimately responsible for the Risk Management 
Framework of the Group.

The Group employs a cascading approach to managing 
risk, facilitated through delegation to specialist committees  
and individuals within the Group.

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks as a result  
of its activities. These risks include market risk (including 
interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. 
The Group’s risk management and investment policies, 
approved by the Board, seek to minimise the potential adverse 
effects of these risks on the Group’s financial performance. 
These policies may include the use of certain financial 
derivative instruments.

Centuria Life Limited (CLL) has also established an 
Investment Committee. The Investment Committee’s function 
is to manage and oversee the Benefit Fund investments in 
accordance with the investment objectives and framework. 
Specifically, it has responsibility for setting and reviewing 
strategic asset allocations, reviewing investment performance, 
reviewing investment policy, monitoring and reporting on the 
performance of the investment risk management policy and 
performing risk management procedures in respect of the 
investments.

From time to time, the Group outsources certain parts of the 
investment management of the Benefit Funds to specialist 
investment managers including co-ordinating access to 
domestic and international financial markets, and managing 
the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group in 
accordance with an investment mandate set out in the  
Group’s constitution and the Benefit Funds’ product disclosure 
statements. The Benefit Funds’ investment mandates are 
to invest in equities and fixed interest securities via unit 
trusts, discount securities and may also invest in derivative 
instruments such as futures and options.

The Group uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate 
risk and not for speculative purposes in any situation. Hedging 
is put in place where the Group is either seeking to minimise or 
eliminate cash-flow variability, i.e., converting variable rates to 
fixed rates, or changes in the fair values of underlying assets  
or liabilities, i.e., to convert fixed rates to variable rates.

Derivative financial instruments of the Benefit Funds, 
consolidated into the financial statements of the Group 
under AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, are used 
only for hedging factual or anticipated exposures relating to 
investments. The use of financial derivatives in respect of 
Benefit Funds is governed by the Funds’ investment policies, 
which provide written principles on the use of financial 
derivatives.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) 

(B) CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in 
the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while 
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation 
of debt and equity capital. This overall strategy remains 
unchanged from the prior year.

The Group’s capital structure consists of net debt (borrowings, 
offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity of the Group 
(comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings).

The Group carries on business throughout Australia, primarily 
through subsidiary companies that are established in 
the markets in which the Group operates. The operations 
of Centuria Life Limited are regulated by APRA and the 
management fund of the Society has a minimum Prescribed 
Capital Amount (PCA) that must be maintained at all times. It is 
calculated monthly and these results are reported to the Board 
each month. The current level of share capital of Centuria Life 
Limited meets the PCA requirements.

In addition, Centuria Property Funds Limited, Centuria Funds 
Management Limited and Centuria Property Fund No.2 Limited 
have AFS licences so as to operate registered property trusts. 
Regulations require these entities to hold a minimum net asset 
amount which is maintained by way of bank guarantees.  
Where necessary, the bank guarantees will be increased to 
ensure the net asset requirement is always met.

Operating cash flows are used to maintain and, where 
appropriate, expand the Group’s funds under management 
as well as to make the routine outflows of tax, dividends and 
repayment of maturing debt. The Group reviews regularly its 
anticipated funding requirements and the most appropriate 
form of funding (capital raising or borrowings) depending on 
what the funding will be used for.

The capital structure of the Benefit Funds (and management 
fund) consists of cash and cash equivalents, bill facilities 
and mortgage assets. The Benefit Funds also hold a range of 
financial assets for investment purposes including investments 
in unit trusts, equity and floating rate notes. The Investment 
Committee aims to ensure that there is sufficient capital for 
possible redemptions by unit holders of the Benefit Funds  
by regularly monitoring the level of liquidity in each fund.

The Benefit Funds have no restrictions or specific capital 
requirements on the application and redemption of units.  
The Benefit Funds’ overall investment strategy remains 
unchanged from the prior year.

(C) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(i) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied in 
determining fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with 
standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid 
markets are determined with reference to quoted market 
prices (includes listed redeemable notes, bills of exchange, 
debentures and perpetual notes).

The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities 
(excluding derivative instruments) are determined in 
accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on 
discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable 
current market transactions and dealer quotes for similar 
instruments. Discount rates are determined based on market 
rates applicable to the financial asset or liability.

The valuation technique used to determine the fair value of  
the Group’s reverse mortgage loan book is as follows:

 – the weighted average reverse mortgage holders’ age is  

79 years;

 – the future cash flows calculation is related to borrowers’ 
mortality rates and mortality improvements. The data is 
sourced from mortality tables provided by the actuary;

 – fixed or variable interest rates charged to borrowers  

are used to project future cash flows;

 – a redemption rate, which is based on historical loan 
redemption experience, applies to future cash flow 
forecast; and

 – year-end yield curve is used to discount future cash  

flows back to 30 June 2018 to determine the fair value.

(ii) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied in 
determining fair value of derivatives
The fair values of derivative instruments are calculated using 
quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, discounted 
cash flow analysis is performed using the applicable yield curve 
for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, 
and option pricing models for optional derivatives.

The valuation technique used to determine the fair value of  
the Fixed for Life interest rate swaps is as follows:

 – the weighted average reverse mortgage holders’ age is  

79 years;

 – the expected future cash flows in relation to the swaps 

are based on reverse mortgage borrowers’ expected life 
expectancy sourced from mortality tables provided by 
the actuary; and the difference between the fixed swap 
pay rates and forward rates as of 30 June 2018 is used to 
calculate the future cash flows in relation to the swaps; 
and year-end yield curve plus a credit margin is used 
to discount future cash flows back to 30 June 2018 to 
determine the fair value.

(iii) Fair value measurements recognised in the statement  
of financial position
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair  
values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including 
their levels in the fair value hierarchy for financial instruments 
measured at fair value.

The table provides an analysis of financial instruments that 
are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, 
grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the 
fair value is observable.

 –  Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from 

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical 
assets or liabilities.

 –  Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from 
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

 –  Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from 
valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset 
or liability that are not based on observable market data 
(unobservable inputs).

The Group determines Level 2 fair values for financial assets and liabilities without an active market based on broker quotes.  
Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivatives are also based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for 
reasonableness by discounting expected future cash flows using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement 
date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the entity 
and counterparty where appropriate.

The Level 3 financial asset held by the Group is the fair value of the residential mortgage receivables attributable to interest 
rate risk. The Level 3 financial liability held by the Group is the fixed-for-life interest rate swaps. These items are designated in a 
fair value hedging relationship, with the fair value movements on the swaps offset by the fair value movements in the mortgage 
receivables. However, as the Group has only designated the fair value movements attributable to interest rate risk in the hedging 
relationship, any other fair value movements impact the profit and loss directly, such as credit risk movements.

KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The fair value of the 50 year residential mortgage loans and 50 year swaps are calculated using a valuation technique based on 
assumptions that are not supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument and not based on 
available observable market data due to the illiquid nature of the instruments. Use is made of discounted cash flow analysis using the 
applicable yield curve out to 20 years, with the yield curve at 20 years employed as the best proxy for subsequent rates due to non-
observable market data.

Mortality rates for males and females have been based on the ABS 2013-2015 mortality table with adjustments for the demographic 
profile of the mortgage holders. Mortality improvements are assumed starting at 3% p.a. at age 70 and tapering down to 1% p.a. from age 
90. Joint life mortality is based on last death for loans with joint borrowers.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured 
to their fair value at each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the 
derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss 
depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. The hedge is considered ineffective if it falls outside the range of 80% to 125%.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) 

(D) CREDIT RISK
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default  
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to  
the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing  
with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient 
collateral or other security, where appropriate, as a means  
of mitigating risk of financial loss from default. The credit  
risk on financial assets of the Group and the parent 
recognised in the statement of financial position is generally  
the carrying amount, net of allowance for impairment loss.

Concentration of risk may exist when the volume of 
transactions limits the number of counterparties.

(i) Credit risk of reverse mortgages
Concentration of credit risk in relation to reverse mortgage 
loans is minimal, as each individual reverse mortgage loan 
is secured by an individual residential property. The loan is 
required to be paid off from the proceeds of disposal of the 
secured property after the borrower’s death.

Individual property valuations are conducted at least every  
3 years in accordance with financier’s requirements. At 30  
June 2018, the highest loan to value ratio (LVR) of a loan in  
the reverse mortgage loan book is 107% (2017: 113%), and 
there are 58 out of 222 (2017: 52 out of 232) reverse  
mortgage loans where the LVR is higher than 50%.

(ii) Credit risk on other financial assets

Credit risk on other financial assets such as investments in 
floating rate notes, standard discount securities and unit 
trusts is managed through strategic asset allocations with 
creditworthy counterparties and the on-going monitoring of 
the credit quality of investments, including the use of credit 
ratings issued by well-known rating agencies. The exposure  
of credit risk in respect of financial assets is minimal.

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure 
to any single entity in other financial assets or any group of 
counterparties having similar characteristics.

(E) LIQUIDITY RISK
The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that  
it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.

The liquidity risk is managed for the Group at a corporate 
level. Bank account balances across all entities, current and 
future commitments, and expected cash inflows are reviewed 
in detail when the monthly cash flow projection is prepared 
for management purposes and presented to the Board at its 
regular monthly meetings. By comparing the projected cash 
flows with the assets and liabilities shown in the individual  
and consolidated statements of financial position, which are 
also prepared on a monthly basis for management purposes 
and presented to the Board, liquidity requirements for 
the Group can be determined. Based on this review, if it is 
considered that the expected cash inflows plus liquidity on 
hand, may not be sufficient in the near term to meet cash 
outflow requirements, including repayment of borrowings, a 
decision can be made to carry out one or more of the following:

 – renegotiate the repayment terms of the borrowings;

 – sell assets that are held on the statement of financial 

position; and/or

 – undertake an equity raising.

This, combined with a profitable business going forward,  
should ensure that the Group continues to meet its 
commitments, including repayments of borrowings, as  
and when required.

The Group’s overall strategy to liquidity risk management 
remains unchanged from the prior year.

The following table summarises the Group’s remaining 
contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities 
with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn 
up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities 
based on the earliest date on which the Group and the parent 
can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and 
principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are at 
floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest 
rate curves at the end of the reporting period.

The policy holders in the Benefit Funds are able to redeem 
their policies at any time and the Benefit Funds are therefore 
exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting policyholders’ 
withdrawals at any time. The Investment Committee aims to 
ensure that there is sufficient capital for possible redemptions 
by policyholders of the Benefit Funds by regularly monitoring 
the level of liquidity in each fund.

(F) MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market 
prices. Market risk comprises interest rate risk and price risk. Due to the nature of assets held by the Group (excluding the Benefit 
Funds), there is an asset and liability management process which determines the interest rate sensitivity of the statement of 
financial position and the implementation of risk management practices to hedge the potential effects of interest rate changes. 
The Group manages the market risk associated with its Benefit Funds by outsourcing its investment management. The Investment 
Manager manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Benefit Funds in accordance with an investment mandate 
set out in the Benefit Funds’ constitution and product disclosure statement. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure  
to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

(i) Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds at floating interest rates. Management of this  
risk is evaluated regularly and interest rate swaps are used accordingly.

(ii) Interest rate swap contracts
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts 
calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Group to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates 
on the fair value of fixed rate financial assets held and the cash flow exposures on the issued variable rate debt.

contracts as at reporting date. These swaps are at fair value through profit and loss.

(iii) Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the parent and the Group’s exposure to interest rates at the 
balance date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the 
reporting period, in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities that have variable interest rates. A 100 basis point (1%) 
increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rate.

At reporting date, if variable interest rates had been 100 (2016:100) basis points higher or lower and all other variables were  
held constant, the impact to the Group would have been as follows:

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS EFFECTIVE 1 JULY 2018

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers are new standards which are effective for 
annual periods beginning after 1 July 2018. Whilst earlier application was permitted, the Group has not early adopted the new or 
amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

The Group is required to adopt AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 
2018 and has assessed the estimated impact that the initial application of these standards will have on its consolidated financial 
statements.

Based on the Group’s assessment, the Group does not believe that these new accounting standards will have a material impact on 
the Group’s equity as at 1 July 2018. This impact is assessed based on analysis performed to date. The actual impacts of adopting 
the standard at 1 July 2018 may vary because the new accounting policies are subject to change until the Group presents its first 
financial statements at the date of initial application.

CENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018Notes to the consolidated financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018F  Other

F5 

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND  
INTERPRETATIONS EFFECTIVE 1 JULY 2018  
(CONTINUED) 

(A) AASB 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
AASB 9 Financial Instruments sets out requirements for 
recognising and measuring financial assets, financial 
liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial 
items. This standard replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement.

(i) Classification – Financial assets 
AASB 9 contains a new classification and measurement 
approach for financial assets that reflects the business 
model in which assets are managed and their cash flow 
characteristics.

AASB 9 contains three principal classification categories for 
financial assets: measured at amortised cost, fair value through 
other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through 
profit and loss (FVTPL). The standard eliminates the existing 
AASB 139 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables 
and available for sale.

Based on its assessment, the Group does not believe that the 
new classification requirements will have a material impact on 
its accounting for all receivables and financial assets (which 
are already carried at fair value) except for reverse mortgage 
loan receivables.

Reverse mortgage loan receivables are currently recorded 
at amortised cost using the effective interest method less 
impairment. On transition to AASB 9, whilst these receivables 
will be reclassified to FVTPL, the Group does not expect a 
material change in their measurement and a result there is 
no expected impact on the Group’s equity at 1 July 2018. The 
implication of the change from amortised cost to FVTPL for 
future reporting periods may include increased volatility in  
the Group’s results as gains or losses arising from variations  
in fair value measurement assumptions will be reported 
through the profit and loss.

(ii) Impairment – Receivables
AASB 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in AASB 139 with 
a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. This 
will require considerable judgement about how changes in 
economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on  
a probability-weighted basis.

The new impairment model will apply to the Group’s 
receivables which continue to be measured at amortised 
cost. The new impairment model will not apply to the Group’s 
reverse mortgage loan receivables which will be classified as 
FVTPL as described above under AASB 9.

Based on its assessment, the Group does not believe that the 
new impairment model will have a material impact on its equity 
upon transition as at 1 July 2018.

(iii) Classification – Financial liabilities
There will be no impact on the Group’s accounting for financial 
liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting 

for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through 
profit or loss and the Group does not have any such liabilities. 
The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB  
139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement  
and have not been changed.

(iv) Hedge accounting
The new hedge accounting rules generally allow for more 
hedge relationships to be eligible for hedge accounting, as  
the standard introduces a more principles-based approach. 
The Group does not expect a significant impact as a result  
of the hedging changes on transition on 1 July 2018.

(v) Transition
Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption  
of AASB 9 will generally be applied retrospectively, however as 
there are no expected material impact on carrying amounts of 
financial assets and financial liabilities, there will no transitional 
implications on the Group’s equity at 1 July 2018 nor it’s 
comparatives.

(B) AASB 15 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The new revenue standard, AASB 15 Revenue from customers 
applies to all contracts with customers to deliver goods or 
services as part of the entity’s ordinary course of business 
excluding insurance contracts, financial instruments and 
leases which are addressed by other standards. It replaces 
existing revenue recognition guidance, including AASB 118 
Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts.

AASB 15 replaces the considerations of risks and rewards 
under AASB 118 to the concept of when control passes to the 
customer as the trigger point for the recognition of revenue.

The Group’s revenue streams which are in scope under the 
new standard include management fees from property funds, 
property acquisition fees, property sales fees and property 
performance fees. Rental income, interest income, distribution 
and dividend income and fair value movements in investment 
properties are excluded from the scope of this standard.

Based on its assessment, the Group does not believe that the 
new standard will have a material transitional impact on the 
Group’s equity as at 1 July 2018.

Performance fees are currently recognised upon satisfaction  
of all conditions precedent to the sale of an investment 
property and when significant risks and rewards have 
transferred. Whilst there is no expected material transitional 
impact from adoption of AASB 15, future performance fees 
will be recognised at an earlier point in time. In assessing 
the timing and measurement of performance fees to be 
recognised, consideration will be given to the facts and 
circumstances with respect to each investment property 
including external factors such as its current valuation, 
passage of time and outlook of the property market. 
Performance fees will only be recognised when they are 
deemed to be highly probable and the amount of the 
performance fees will not result in a significant reversal  
in future periods,

OTHER NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS  
AND INTERPRETATIONS

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have 
been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2018 
reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the 
Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new 
standards and interpretations is set out below. 

(A) AASB 16 LEASES

(i) Nature of change
AASB 16 Leases was issued in February 2016. It will result in 
almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the 
distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. 
Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased 
item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The 
only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.

The accounting for lessors will not significantly change.

(ii) Impact
The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the 
Group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the Group 
has non-cancellable operating lease commitments as outlined 
in note C9(A). However, the Group has not yet determined to 
what extent these commitments will result in the recognition 
of an asset and a liability for future payments and how this will 
affect the Group’s profit and classification of cash flows.

Some of the commitments may be covered by the exception  
for short-term and low-value leases and some commitments 
may relate to arrangements that will not qualify as leases 
under AASB 16.

(iii) Mandatory application date
Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 
2019, but available for early adoption. Therefore mandatory 
application to the Group would be year ending 30 June 2020.

At this stage, the Group has not concluded whether it intends 
to adopt AASB 16 before its mandatory date.

F7 

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT  
TO THE REPORTING DATE

There has not arisen in the interval between 30 June 2018  
and the date hereof 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 future financial years.

Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matters we identified 
are: 

•  Recoverable amount of Goodwill and 
Indefinite Life Intangible Assets 

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.  

•  Valuation of Investment Properties 
and Investment Properties Held for 
Sale 

•  Hedge Accounting and Valuation of 

Derivatives 

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. 

Recoverable amount of Goodwill and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets ($157.7m) 

Refer to Note C6 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

At 30 June 2018, the Stapled Group’s intangible 
assets  comprise  goodwill  and  management 
rights.  A  key  audit  matter  was  the  Stapled 
Group’s  annual 
testing  of  goodwill  and 
management rights for impairment. We focused 
on  the  significant  forward-looking  assumptions 
the  Stapled  Group  applied  in  their  value  in  use 
model including: 

•  Forecast  operating  cash  flows,  growth  rates 
and terminal growth rates, which may reduce 
available  headroom.  This  drives  additional 
audit  effort  specific  to  their  feasibility  and 
consistency  of  application  to  the  Stapled 
Group’s strategy; and  

•  Discount rate - these are complicated in nature 
and  vary  according  to  the  conditions  and 
environment the specific cash generating unit 
(“CGU”) is subject to from time to time. The 
Stapled Group’s model is sensitive to changes 
in  the  discount  rate.  Accordingly,  we  involve 
our valuation specialist with the assessment.   

Our procedures included: 

•  Assessing the value in use method applied by 
the Stapled Group in the annual test of goodwill 
for impairment against the requirements of the 
accounting standards; 

•  Assessing  the  Stapled  Group’s  determination 
of  their  CGUs  based  on  our  understanding  of 
the operations of the Stapled Group’s business,  
and  how 
flows  were 
generated,  against  the  requirements  of  the 
accounting standards; 

independent  cash 

•  Comparing the forecast cash flows contained in 
the  value  in  use  model  to  Board  approved 
forecasts;  

•  Assessing  the  Stapled  Group’s  ability  to 
accurately  forecast  by  comparing  historical 
forecasts to actual results; 

•  Evaluating  the  sensitivity  of  the  model  by 
varying  key  assumptions,  such  as  forecast 
growth  rates,  terminal  growth  rates  and 
discount  rates  within  a  reasonably  possible 
range, to identify those assumptions at higher 
risk of bias or inconsistency in application and 
to focus our further procedures;

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The  valuation  of  investment  properties  and

Hedge Accounting and Valuation of Derivatives ($22.9m) 

Refer to Note F3(c) to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The  Stapled  Group  issues  reverse  mortgages 
and enters into an interest rate swap derivative 
interest  rate  risk 
contract  to  manage  the 
associated  with  the  reverse  mortgage.  The 
Stapled Group applies hedge accounting on the 
interest rate swap derivative contract. 

The  hedge  accounting  and  valuation  of 
derivatives was identified as a key audit matter 
due  to  the  complexity  in  auditing  the  hedging 
arrangement.  This  is  a  result  of  the  complex 
hedge  accounting 
the 
significant  judgments  made  by  the  Stapled 
Group in the valuation of the derivative such as 
the  credit  spread  which  required  our  specialist 
involvement. 

requirements  and 

Involving our specialist, our procedures included:  

•  Reading 

the  hedge  documentation  and 
assessing  the  accounting  for  the  hedge 
arrangement  and  effectiveness  against  the 
requirements  of  the  Australian  Accounting 
Standards; 

•  Comparing the Stapled Group’s determination 
of the weighted average maturity used in  the 
credit  spread  model  against  the  historical 
maturity  and  age  of 
reverse  mortgage 
borrower; 

•  Evaluating  the  sensitivity  of  the  hedge  model 
by varying the weighted average maturity used 
in  the  credit  spread  model  to  identify  bias  or 
inconsistency in application;    

•  Assessing the credit spread by comparing the 
relevant  Australia  Corporate  Curve 
from 
Bloomberg  to  the  Australian  Dollar  Swap 
Curve; and 

• 

Independently  valuing  the  swap  portfolio  and 
comparing it to the Stapled Group’s valuation.

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 the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors of the Company 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 

•  assessing the Stapled 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 Stapled Group or to cease 
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

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/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
Auditor’s Report.
