Message from  
the Chairman

On behalf of the Board, 
I am pleased to present 
Elanor Investors Group’s 
Annual Report, including  
its Financial Statements  
for the year ended  
30 June 2019.

As this year’s result is the fifth since 
Elanor’s ASX listing on 11 July 2014,  
I thought a brief look back over the 
five years would be appropriate, 
given many securityholders have 
been invested in ENN since listing.

Results of the First Five Years

The five-years’ performance 
reflects tremendous growth in 
funds under management (FUM) 
from a modest base of $86 million 
at 11 July 2014. At 30 June 2019, 
Elanor’s FUM reached $1.39 billion, 
reflecting a compound growth 
rate of 55% p.a. over the five years. 
This growth contributed to a Core 
Earnings result of $17.5 million 
for the year ended 30 June 2019, 
compared to Core Earnings of  
$9.3 million for the year ended  
30 June 2015. Furthermore, 
recurring FUM fees have grown 
substantially over the last five years, 
reflecting the successful execution 
of Elanor’s core strategy.

Elanor’s listed security price has 
risen from an issue price of $1.25 
at IPO to $1.83 on 30 June 2019. 
Additionally, annual distributions 
per stapled security have grown 
to 16.06 cents. This results in a 
Total Securityholder Return (TSR) 
of 17.86% p.a. since IPO. This is 
a pleasing outcome for Elanor 
securityholders. 

Importantly, the average realised 
returns from our managed funds 
since listing is 18.2% p.a.

Latest Year’s Result

The results for the year ended  
30 June 2019 reflect the continued 
growth of our funds management 
platform. Our Core Earnings of  
$17.5 million reflects a 7.9% 
increase on the prior year.  
Elanor’s conservative gearing  
of 28.4% as at 30 June 2019 
provides the Group with flexibility  
to continue to grow FUM.

Achievements

The primary achievement over 
the year has been the increase in 
FUM to $1.39 billion. The growth 
in Elanor’s FUM over the year 
has primarily been achieved as 
a result of the establishment of 
the following managed funds: 
the Elanor Luxury Hotel Fund 
(a multi-asset accommodation 
fund); the Stirling Street Syndicate; 
the Waverly Gardens Fund and 
the Fairfield Centre Syndicate. 
Additionally, the Group acquired 
the Clare Country Club and Barossa 
Weintal Hotels for the Elanor 
Metro and Prime Regional Hotel 
Fund. During the year, the Group 
successfully divested the Bell 
City Hotel Fund on behalf of fund 
investors.

Further detail and commentary 
of the 2019 annual result and 
achievements can be found in the 
CEO’s Message.

I would like to thank my fellow 
Board members, the executive

staff across the Group for their 
contribution during the year.

Most importantly, I would like to 
thank Elanor’s securityholders 
and the Group’s investors in our 
managed funds for their continued

I look forward to discussing the

The Board continues to strengthen 
the Group’s corporate governance 
structure and processes consistent 
with Elanor’s strategic intent and 
operating activities. This includes 
the further development of 
the Group’s Risk Management 
Framework and Work, Health and 
Safety regimes.

Additionally, the Board welcomed 
the appointment of Mr Lim Kin 
Song, representing a major investor 
and Mr Anthony (Tony) Fehon, an 
experienced property executive 
and investor, in May and August 
2019 respectively. I look forward 
to both Kin Song and Tony’s 
contributions to the business.

In September 2019, Mr Bill Moss AO, 
resigned from the Elanor Board for 
personal reasons. Bill has served 
the Elanor Board since the Group’s 
listing in July 2014 and has played 
a valuable role in supporting the 
growth of Elanor’s investment and 
funds management business to 
over $1.5 billion in assets under 
management.

On behalf of the Board, I would like 
to express our gratitude to Bill for 
the significant contribution he has 
made to the Group throughout his 
tenure.

CEO’s 
Message

I am pleased to present 
Elanor Investors Group’s 
Annual Report for the 
year ended 30 June 
2019. We continued to 
successfully grow our 
business during the 
year. The Group’s Core 
Earnings of $17.5 million 
reflected a 7.9% increase 
on the prior year. 

Pleasingly, recurring funds 
management revenue grew by 
over 24% during the year as a result 
of an increase in funds under 
management to $1.39 billion as at 
30 June 2019.

From a strategic perspective, 
much was achieved over the year. 
We increased our funds under 
management by over 28% to $1.39 
billion, and most importantly, 
our managed funds continued to 
deliver strong performance for our 
capital partners. During the year 
we executed on our capital led 
strategic initiatives, with a focus 
on growing our global institutional 
capital partners. Our strengthened 
capital origination and asset 
management teams, combined 
with the Group’s growth capital and 
strong investment pipeline, position 
Elanor for further significant growth 
in funds under management. We 
remain confident that our funds 
management platform will continue 
to deliver strong performance for 
both Elanor securityholders and 
the Group’s capital partners.

In addition to our core areas of 
expertise in the retail real estate, 
commercial real estate and hotels, 
tourism and leisure sectors, we 
continue to investigate other 
real estate sectors that provide 
quality investment opportunities. 
Furthermore, we continue to 
explore strategic opportunities to 
achieve our growth objectives.

Strategy and Investment 
Approach

The key strategic objective of 
the Group is to grow funds under 
management and deliver strong 
investment returns for both the 
Group’s funds management 
capital partners and Elanor 
securityholders. Elanor’s 
investment focus is on acquiring 
and unlocking value in real estate 
assets that provide strong, stable 
income and significant capital 
growth potential. We evaluate 
acquisition opportunities through 
a value and risk management lens. 
Our highly active approach to 
asset management is underpinned 
by an acute focus on delivering 
investment performance.

The Group will continue to  
co-invest with our funds 
management capital partners 
for both strategic and alignment 
purposes. We will continue to 
utilise our balance sheet to 
originate and hold investments 
that provide opportunities for 
future co-investment by Elanor’s 
capital partners. In this regard, the 
Group holds two balance sheet 
investments that we expect to 
externalise into managed funds 
during the coming year. The Group 
will continue to grow funds under 
management in an increasingly 
capital efficient manner.

CEO’s Message

Capital Management

During the year, the Group 
established a new 3-year $30 million 
revolving secured debt facility. 
Gearing for the Group increased 
to 28.4% as at 30 June 2019 from 
22.1% as at 30 June 2018. The Group 
remains conservatively geared, 
including $60 million of unsecured 
5-year Corporate Notes. The 
Group’s secured debt gearing  
ratio is 4.2%.

Additionally, the Group holds 
significant growth capital. This 
capital, in conjunction with available 
bank facilities, will be used to fund 
the Group’s short to medium 
term funds management growth 
objectives. Elanor estimates that 
its available growth capital will 
support the growth of the Group’s 
funds under management to 
approximately $2.5 billion, based on 
future co-investment levels of 10%.

Our intention remains for the 
Group’s balance sheet to be 
conservatively geared, while 
maintaining capital capacity to take 
advantage of opportunities arising 
from asset valuation cycles. 

Community Involvement

At Elanor, we are acutely aware 
of our responsibility to the 
communities in which we operate, 
and to society more generally. 
During the year the Group 
supported a number of causes 
and organisations including the 
Facioscapulohumeral Muscular 
Dystrophy (FSHD) Foundation,  
Big Brothers Big Sisters, Life 
Education Australia and  
The One Foundation Australia. 

In addition to these organisations, 
across the Group, Elanor supports 
a number of community focussed 
social initiatives.

Elanor, as owner of Featherdale 
Wildlife Park, is committed to 
animal welfare and native animal 
preservation. Featherdale 
is a preeminent contributor 
to numerous endangered 
species preservation programs 
for Australian native animals. 
Featherdale is a major social 
contributor to the Western Sydney 
community and across the State 
of NSW in the areas of animal 
preservation, education and animal 
rescue. Featherdale is committed 
to maintaining its significant social 
contribution into the future.

Outlook

The Group’s core strategy will 
remain focussed on growing funds 
management earnings and actively 
managing its investment portfolio. 
The Group has a number of funds 
management opportunities under 
consideration across all sectors of 
focus. The Group will continue to 
focus on increasing income from 
its managed funds, seeding new 
managed funds with Group owned 
investments, and co-investing with 
external capital partners.

Elanor is committed to growing its 
funds management business by 
acquiring high investment quality 
assets based on the Group’s 
proven investment philosophy. 
Furthermore, we anticipate that 
growth in funds under management 
will be achieved in an increasingly 
capital efficient manner.

4.  Operating and financial review 

OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY 

The key strategic objective of Elanor is to invest in real estate backed assets that deliver strong returns for 
both Elanor's funds management capital partners and Elanor’s security holders. Elanor’s investment focus is 
on acquiring and unlocking value in assets that provide high quality income and strong capital growth potential. 
Elanor's  highly  active  approach  to  asset  management  is  underpinned  with  urgency  and  an  acute  focus  on 
delivering investment performance. The Group seeks to co-invest with its funds management capital partners 
for both strategic and alignment purposes. The Group also originates and holds investments on balance sheet 
to provide opportunities for future co-investment by Elanor’s capital partners. 

Elanor’s  key  investment  sector  focuses  are  the  commercial  office  real  estate,  retail  real  estate  and  the 
accommodation hotels, tourism and leisure sectors.  

Elanor’s  total  managed  funds  and  investment  portfolio  was  $1,550.1  million  as  at  30  June  2019,  up  from 
$1,227.8 million over the year. 

During  the  year,  Elanor  established  new  funds  totalling  $455.3  million  and  successfully  divested  the 
commercial and hotel assets in the Bell City Fund for $159.5 million. Assets under management increased 
from $1,082.6 million to $1,387 million during the year. Co-investments of $26.1 million were made in new 
managed funds. 

The growth in assets under management has been assisted by the introduction of a number of global and 
domestic institutional capital partners, directly reflecting the Group’s increased focus in this area. 

The Group completed the following funds management initiatives during the year: 

•  The  establishment  of  the  Waverley  Gardens  Fund  (Waverley  Gardens)  with  global  real  estate 
investment firm Heitman, in December 2018 which acquired the Waverley Gardens Shopping centre 
in Mulgrave, Victoria. The fund has a gross asset value of $182.2 million as at 30 June 2019. 

•  The acquisition of the Elanor Hospitality and Accommodation Fund hotel portfolio by Elanor Metro and 
Prime Regional Hotel Fund (EMPR) in a strategic partnership with NRMA, in September 2018. EMPR 
has a gross asset value of $163.7 million as at 30 June 2019. 

•  On  9  April  2019,  EMPR  acquired  the  Clare  Country  Club  and  Barossa  Weintal  Hotels  in  South 

Australia, for $14.45 million. Settlement is expected in October 2019. 

•  The establishment of the Elanor Luxury Hotel Fund (ELHF) in April 2019, with the acquisition of the 
Mayfair Hotel Adelaide and the Adabco Boutique Hotel in Adelaide, South Australia for $99 million. 
Furthermore,  ELHF  acquired  the  Peppers  Cradle  Mountain  Lodge  from  EMPR,  for  $55  million, 
generating a material $9.8 million profit on sale for EMPR investors. Settlement of the Fund is expected 
in October 2019. 

•  The  acquisition  of  the  Limestone  Street  Centre  Syndicate  by  Elanor  Commercial  Property  Fund 
(ECPF) in December 2018. ECPF has a gross asset value of $135.6 million as at 30 June 2019.  

•  The Group established the Stirling Street Syndicate which acquired a commercial property located in 

Stirling Street, Perth, for $24.7 million on 28 February 2019. 

•  On 31 May 2019, the Group established the Fairfield Centre Syndicate and acquired the Neeta City

ENN’s  strong  investment  track  record  and  investor  base  continues  to  be  evidenced  by  the  demand  from 
wholesale and institutional investors for ENN’s funds. Elanor has a well-resourced and scalable platform with 
substantial capacity for growth. Coupled with the Group’s available capital, Elanor is well positioned to grow 
its funds management business.   

In addition to the funds management initiatives above, in May 2019 the Group ac(cid:65)uired a 25(cid:3) interest in the

The Group recorded a statutory profit after tax from continuing operations of (cid:2)16.0 million for the year ended 
30 June 2019. 

At the balance date, Elanor held a 31.11(cid:3) interest in the Elanor Metro and Prime Regional Hotel Fund (EMPR) 
and, a 42.27(cid:3) interest in the Bluewater S(cid:65)uare Syndicate (Bluewater) and 100(cid:3) interest in the Auburn Office 
Syndicate (Auburn Office). For accounting purposes, Elanor is deemed to have a controlling interest in EMPR, 
Bluewater and Auburn Office given its level of ownership and role as manager of the funds. This means that 
the financial results and financial position of EMPR, Bluewater and Auburn Office are consolidated into the 
financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2019.  

All other managed fund co-investments are accounted for using the e(cid:65)uity method in the Group’s consolidated 
financial statements. 

Presenting the summary consolidated financial results of the Group on the basis that EMPR, Bluewater and 
Auburn Office are accounted for using the e(cid:65)uity method is important because Elanor considers that this gives 
the most appropriate presentation consistent with management and reporting of the Group, and to provide a 
comparable basis to the presentation of the results for prior periods. 

Core or Distributable Earnings for the period were (cid:2)17.5 million or 17.58 cents per stapled security. A Final 
Distribution of (cid:2)9.72 million or 9.74 cents per stapled security has been declared for the six months ended 30 
June 2019 (90(cid:3) pay-out ratio on Core Earnings), resulting in a full year distribution of (cid:2)15.79 million or 16.06 
cents per stapled security. Core Earnings is considered more relevant than statutory profit as it represents an 
estimate of the underlying recurring cash earnings of the Group and has been determined in accordance with 
ASIC Regulatory Guide 230. 

A summary of the Group and EIF Group(cid:5)s results for the period is set out below:

The table below provides a reconciliation from statutory profit / (loss) after tax to distributable Core Earnings: 

Note 1: Core Earnings has been determined in accordance with ASIC RG 230 and represents the Directors view of underlying earnings 
from ongoing operating activities for the period, being net profit / (loss) after tax, ad(cid:58)usting for one-off realised items (being formation or 
other transaction costs that occur infre(cid:65)uently or are outside the course of ongoing business activities), non-cash items (being fair value 
movements, depreciation charges on the buildings held by the Trust, amortisation of intangibles, straight lining of rental expense, and 
amortisation of e(cid:65)uity settled STI and LTI amounts), and restating share of profit from e(cid:65)uity accounted investments to reflect distributions 
received / receivable in respect of those investments.  

Note 2: Share of profit from e(cid:65)uity accounted investments includes depreciation and amortisation and fair value ad(cid:58)ustments on investment 
property  that  were  added  back  in  the  determination  of  distributable  earnings  for  those  managed  funds.  The  Group’s  share  of  those 
ad(cid:58)ustments to distributable earnings in the relevant managed funds have been added back for the purposes of calculating Core Earnings 
so that the Group’s Core Earnings reflects the distribution received / receivable by the Group from those investments in Elanor managed 
funds. 

Note  3:  Net  (gain)  /  loss  on  disposals  of  e(cid:65)uity  accounted  investments  includes  ad(cid:58)ustments  for  realised  non-cash  accounting 
(gains)/losses on the sale of e(cid:65)uity accounted investments during the period, so as to only include net cash profit for the purposes of 
calculating Core Earnings.

Note 4: As a result of the Group’s adoption of the new Revenue accounting standard, AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
on 1 July 2018, the net profit on sale of the Merrylands Property, that was appropriately recognised in the Group’s profit and loss for the 
period ended 30 June 2018, has also been recognised in the period ended 30 June 2019. This profit on the sale of the Merrylands Property 
has been removed from Core Earnings. The net profit after tax on the sale of the Merrylands profit of (cid:2)10.45 million has been included in 
the statutory net profit after tax for the year as a result of the Group’s adoption of AASB 15. Further information on this transaction is 
provided on page 42.  

Note 5: In August 2018, ENN completed the sale of the Merrylands Property, generating a total net profit after tax of (cid:2)10.45 million. An 
amount of (cid:2)4.5 million of this total net profit after tax was included in Core Earnings for the six months ended 30 June 2018. The remaining 
net profit after tax of (cid:2)5.9 million has been included in Core Earnings for the six months ended 30 June 2019. 

Note  6:  During  the  period,  the  Group  incurred  total  depreciation  charges  of  (cid:2)0.92  million,  however  only  the  depreciation  expense  on 
buildings of (cid:2)0.03 million has been added back for the purposes of calculating Core Earnings.  

Note 7: During the period, the Group incurred non-cash profit and loss charges in respect of the amortisation of certain amounts including 
the e(cid:65)uity component of the Group’s Short Term Incentive (STI), Long Term Incentive (LTI) amounts, intangibles and borrowing costs.  
These amounts have been added back for the purposes of calculating Core Earnings.

The Group is organised into three divisions by business type.  

Funds Management manages third party owned investment funds and syndicates.  

Hotels, Tourism and Leisure has extensive investment management expertise in ac(cid:65)uiring and operating real 
estate  backed  accommodation  hotel  and  leisure  investments.  The  current  investment  portfolio  includes 
Featherdale Wildlife Park, Ibis Styles Albany Hotel and 1834 Hospitality, along with a co-investment in Elanor 
Metro and Prime Regional Hotel Fund.  

The Real Estate division has proven management expertise in the retail and commercial office sectors. The 
division’s focus is to identify and originate investments that provide superior investment returns through active 
asset  management  and  the  realisation  of  (cid:77)value-add’  operational  and  strategic  opportunities.  The  current 
investment portfolio comprises investments in Elanor Retail Property Fund (AS(cid:47): ERF), Elanor Commercial 
Property Fund, Hunters Pla(cid:74)a Syndicate, Bluewater S(cid:65)uare Syndicate, WorkZone West Syndicate, Waverley 
Gardens Fund, Belconnen Markets Syndicate, Auburn Office Syndicate and Fairfield Centre Syndicate.  

Set out below is an ad(cid:58)usted presentation of the statutory financial results by segment, on the basis that the 
Group’s interest in EMPR, Bluewater and Auburn Office are accounted for using the e(cid:65)uity method rather than 
on a consolidated basis.  Elanor considers that presenting the operating performance of the Group on this 
ad(cid:58)usted  basis  gives  the  most  appropriate  presentation  of  the  Group  consistent  with  management  and 
reporting of the Group and to provide a comparable basis to the presentation of prior period results. The results 
provided on this basis are presented as the (cid:77)ENN Group’.

The  performance  of  the  ENN Group  for  the  period  ended  30 June  2019,  as  represented  by  the  aggregate 
results of its operations for the period, was as follows: 

Note 1: This result reflects the sale of the Merrylands property, previously recognised in the financial year ended 30 June 2018, as a result 
of the Group’s adoption of AASB 15 as discussed on page 42. The comparative financial information reflects the operating results of John 
Cootes Furniture which was closed during the period ended 30 June 2018.  

Group  EBITDA  shown  above  includes  the  e(cid:65)uity  accounted  result  of  the  Group’s  co-investments  in  funds 
managed by Elanor, including EMPR, Bluewater and Auburn Office. The Group measures the performance of 
its co-investments based on distributions received / receivable from these co-investments, consistent with the

The Group(cid:5)s key strategic ob(cid:58)ective will remain focused on growing funds under management and delivering 
strong returns for Elanor capital partners and security holders. The Group will look to increase income from 
managed  funds,  seed  new  managed  funds  with  Group  owned  investments,  and  continue  to  co-invest  with 
external capital partners. 

Risks  to  the  Group  in  the  coming  year  primarily  comprise  the  potential  earnings  variability  associated  with 
general  economic  and  market  conditions  including  inbound  tourism  and  domestic  retail  spending,  the 
availability of capital for funds management opportunities, movement in property valuations, tightening debt 
capital markets, the general increase in cyber security risks and possible weather related events.  The Group 
manages  these  risks  through  its  active  asset  management  approach  across  its  investment  portfolio,  its 
continued  focus  on  broadening  the  Group(cid:5)s  capital  partner  base,  insurance  arrangements  and  through  the 
active management of its capital structure. 

The Group is committed to growing funds under management through the ac(cid:65)uisition of high investment (cid:65)uality 
assets based on the Group’s investment philosophy and criteria. The Group has an active pipeline of potential 
funds  management  opportunities  across  all  sectors  of  focus.  Furthermore,  the  Group  is  actively  pursuing 
opportunities in new real estate sectors and continues to explore strategic opportunities to deliver its growth 
ob(cid:58)ectives.

DIRECTORS REPORT 

9.  Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 

a) 

Remuneration Policy and Approach (continued) 

The  Group’s  remuneration  framework  seeks  to  align  executive  reward  with  the  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives and in particular, the creation of sustainable value and earnings growth for investors. In addition, 
the  Board  seeks  to  have  reference  to  market  best  practice  to  ensure  that  executive  remuneration  remains 
competitive, fair and reasonable. 

The Group has a formally constituted Remuneration and Nomination Committee which comprises two Non-
Executive Director (NED) members, Mr Paul Bedbrook (Chair) and Mr Nigel Ampherlaw. 

Mr William Moss AO resigned as Chair and Committee Member in May 2019. Mr Glenn Willis was appointed 
a temporary member of the Committee so as to meet the requirements of the Committee’s Charter.   

The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  meets  at  least  annually  for  the  purposes  of  reviewing  and 
making  recommendations  to  the  Elanor  Investors  Group  Board  on  the  level  of  remuneration  of  the  senior 
executives and the Directors. During the period the Remuneration and Nomination Committee met 3 times. 

Specifically,  the  Board  approves  the  remuneration  arrangements  of  the  Managing  Director  and  other 
executives and all aggregate and individual awards made under the short term (STI) and long-term incentive 
(LTI) plans, following recommendations from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Board also 
sets the aggregate remuneration of NED's, which is then subject to security holder approval. 

When the Remuneration and Nomination Committee meets, the Managing Director is not present during any 
discussions related to his own remuneration arrangements.  

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee endeavours to ensure that the remuneration outcomes strike 
an appropriate balance between the interests of the Group’s security holders and rewarding, retaining and 
motivating the Group's executives and the Directors. 

Further information on the Remuneration and Nomination Committee’s role and responsibilities can be viewed 
at www.elanorinvestors.com.

(cid:20)(cid:59)ecuti(cid:57)e (cid:31)emuneration (cid:16)rran(cid:44)ements 

The Group(cid:5)s executive remuneration framework has three components: 

(cid:75)  Base pay, including superannuation(cid:23) 
(cid:75)  Short term incentives(cid:23) and 
Long term incentives. 
(cid:75) 

Remuneration  levels  are  considered  annually  through  an  assessment  of  each  executive  based  on  the 
individual(cid:5)s  performance  and  achievements  during  the  financial  year  and  taking  into  account  the  overall 
performance of the Elanor Investors Group and prevailing remuneration rates of executives in similar positions.   

Remuneration Structure 

- 

Base pay, including superannuation 

Base pay is determined by reference to appropriate benchmark information, taking into account an individual(cid:5)s 
responsibilities, performance, (cid:65)ualifications and experience.  There are no guaranteed base pay increases in 
any executive(cid:5)s contracts. 

- 

Short term incentive 

The Group has implemented an STI scheme (the STI Scheme), based on an annual profit share, which is 
available to all staff.  The STI Scheme is based on a profit share pool, to be calculated each year based on 
the Group(cid:5)s financial performance for the relevant year. 

The purpose of the STI Scheme is to provide an annual bonus arrangement that incentivises and rewards 
management for achieving annual pre-tax ROE for security holders in excess of 10(cid:3) per annum.  The profit 
share pool is based on 20(cid:3) of ROE above 10(cid:3), 22.5(cid:3) of the ROE above 15(cid:3), 25(cid:3) of the ROE above 17.5(cid:3) 
and 30(cid:3) of the ROE above 20(cid:3). The STI Scheme provides that 50(cid:3) of any awards to individuals from the 
profit share pool may be delivered in deferred securities, which vest two years after award, provided that the 
employee remains with the Group and maintains minimum performance standards. 

The  Elanor  Investors  Group  Board  monitors  the  appropriateness  of  the  profit  share  scheme  and  any 
distribution of the profit share pool will be at the Board(cid:5)s discretion, taking into consideration the forecast and 
actual financial performance and position of the Group. 

- 

Long term incentive 

The Group has implemented an LTI scheme (the LTI Scheme), based on an executive loan security plan and 
an executive options plan. 

Under the executive loan security plan, awards (comprising the loan of funds to eligible Elanor employees to 
ac(cid:65)uire Securities which are sub(cid:58)ect to vesting conditions) have been issued to certain employees. Awards 
totalling 11.0 million Securities were on issue at 30 June 2019. 

The limited recourse loan provided by the Group under the loan security plan carries interest of an amount 
e(cid:65)ual to any cash dividend or distribution but not including any dividend or distribution of capital, or an abnormal 
distribution.  

In addition to the loan security plan, the Group has implemented an executive option plan comprising rights to 
ac(cid:65)uire Securities at a specified exercise price, sub(cid:58)ect to the achievement of vesting conditions, which may 
be  offered  to  certain  eligible  employees  (including  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  direct  reports  to  the  Chief 
Executive Officer and other selected key executives) as determined by the Board.  Options have been issued 
to the Chief Executive Officer only over 2.0 million Securities.

The  purpose  of  the  LTI  Scheme  is  to  assist  in  attracting,  motivating  and  retaining  key  management  and 
employees. The LTI Scheme operates by providing key management and employees with the opportunity to 
participate  in  the  future  performance  of  Group  securities.  The  vesting  conditions  of  LTI  plans  and  related 
awards include both a service based hurdle and an absolute total security holder return (TSR) performance 
hurdle. The service based hurdle is 2, 3 and 4 years in the case of the loan security plan. The TSR is 10(cid:3) per 
annum in the case of the loan security plan and 15(cid:3) per annum in the case of the options plan. The 2017 loan 
security plan reflects loan amounts of (cid:2)2.13 per security. The 2017 option plan has an exercise price of (cid:2)3.05 
per security (43(cid:3) premium to the (cid:2)2.13 offer price). 

TSR was selected as the LTI performance measure to ensure an alignment between the security holder return 
and reward for executives. 

(cid:41)(cid:3) 

(cid:20)(cid:59)ecuti(cid:57)e (cid:31)emuneration (cid:29)utcomes 

The table below sets out summary information about the Group(cid:5)s earnings and movements in shareholder 
wealth for the year ended 30 June 2019: 

The  financial  performance  measure  driving  STI  payment  outcomes  is  pre-tax  return  on  e(cid:65)uity  (ROE).  The 
re(cid:65)uired  pre-tax  return  hurdle  was  achieved  for  the  financial  year.  Reported  earnings  before  tax  from 
continuing operations for the year were (cid:2)19.9 million or (cid:2)16.0 million after tax. This reflects a 16.04 cents basic 
earnings per security based on the average number of securities outstanding for the year. 

For the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group achieved Core Earnings of (cid:2)17.5 million, a 7.9(cid:3) increase on the 
prior year. Total distributions per security in respect of the period were 16.06 cents. 

For the year ended 30 June 2019, the bonus pool calculated in accordance with the STI plan rules was (cid:2)1.3 
million, incorporating cash and the value of the deferred securities. The 2019 STI bonus pool was approved 
by the Board on 27 June 2019.

ELANOR INVESTORS GROUP 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

15.  Non audit services 

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor 
are outlined in Note 28 to the consolidated 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 (Cth). 

The  Directors  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  services  as  disclosed  in  Note  28  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit 
and Risk 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 

•  None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in 
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 Group, acting as advocate for the group or jointly 
sharing economic risks and rewards. 

16. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the current known market conditions. The extent 
of any potential deterioration in either the capital or physical property markets on the future results of the Group 
is  unknown.  Such  results  could  include  property  market  valuations,  the  ability  of  borrowers,  including  the 
Group, to raise or refinance debt, and the cost of such debt and the ability to raise equity. 

At the date of this report and to the best of the Directors’ knowledge and belief, there are no other anticipated 
changes in the operations of the Group which would have a material impact on the future results of the Group. 

17. 

Fees paid to and interests held in the Trust by the Manager or its associates 

The interest in the Trust held by the Manager or its related entities as at 30 June 2019 and fees paid to and 
expenses  reimbursed  by  its  related  entities  during  the  financial  year  are  disclosed  in  Note  25  to  the 
consolidated financial statements. 

18.  Events occurring after reporting date 

Subsequent to the period end, a distribution of 9.74 cents per stapled security has been declared by the Board 
of Directors. The total distribution amount of $9.7 million will be paid on or before 30 August 2019 in respect 
of the six months ended 30 June 2019. 

The Board approved the appointment of Mr Anthony Fehon as a director of the Group and the Responsible 
Entity, with an effective date of 20 August 2019.   

Other than the events disclosed above, the directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance not 
otherwise  dealt  with  in  the  financial  reports  or  the  Directors'  Report  that  has  significantly  affected  or  may 
significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the 
Group in the financial period subsequent to the year ended 30 June 2019.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

About this Report 

Elanor Investors Group (Group, Consolidated Group or Elanor) is a ‘stapled’ entity comprising Elanor Investors 
Limited (EIL or Company) and its controlled entities (EIL Group) and Elanor Investment Fund (Trust) and its 
controlled  entities  (EIF  Group).  The  units  in  the  Trust  are  stapled  to  shares  in  the  Company.  The  stapled 
securities  cannot  be  traded  or  dealt  with  separately.  The  stapled  securities  of  the  Group  are  listed  on  the 
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: ENN). As permitted by Class Order 05/642 issued by the Australian 
Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), this report is a combined report that presents the consolidated 
financial statements and accompanying notes of both Elanor Investors Group and the Elanor Investment Fund 
(EIF Group). 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (the Board or AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. 

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards  Board  and  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as  issued  by  the  International 
Accounting Standards Board. 

For the purposes of preparing the financial statements, the Group is a for-profit entity. The financial report has 
been presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.  

The  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been rounded  off  to  the  nearest  one  thousand 
dollars, unless otherwise indicated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Director’s 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191.  

Basis of Consolidation 

The consolidated Financial Statements of the Group incorporate the assets and liabilities of Elanor Investors 
Limited (the Parent) and all of its subsidiaries, including Elanor Investment Fund and its subsidiaries as at 30 
June 2019. Elanor Investors Limited is the parent entity in relation to the stapling. The results and equity of 
Elanor  Investment  Fund  (which  is  not  directly  owned  by  Elanor  Investors  Limited)  have  been  treated  and 
disclosed as a non-controlling interest. Whilst the results and equity of Elanor Investment Fund are disclosed 
as  a  non-controlling  interest,  the  stapled  security  holders  of  Elanor  Investment  Fund  are  the  same  as  the 
stapled security holders of Elanor Investors Limited. 

These  consolidated  Financial  Statements  also  include  a  separate  column  representing  the  consolidated 
Financial Statements of EIF Group, incorporating the assets and liabilities of Elanor Investment Fund and all 
of its subsidiaries, as at 30 June 2019.

Limited).  The Group holds 31.11(cid:3) of the equity in EM(cid:39)R. The Group's 31.11(cid:3) ownership interest in EM(cid:39)R 
gives the Group the same percentage of the voting rights in EM(cid:39)R. EM(cid:39)R is an unregistered trust for which 
Elanor Funds Management Limited acts as the Manager of the asset and Trustee of the trust.

ownership  interest  in  Bluewater  gives  the  Group  the  same  percentage  of  the  voting  rights  in  Bluewater. 
Bluewater is an unregistered trust for which Elanor Funds Management Limited acts as the Manager of the

The Group holds 100(cid:3) of the equity in Auburn Office Syndicate. The Group's 100(cid:3) ownership interest in the 
Auburn  Office  Syndicate  gives  the  Group  the  same  percentage  of  the  voting  rights  in  the  Auburn  Office 
Syndicate. The Auburn Office Syndicate is an unregistered trust for which Elanor Funds Management Limited 
acts as the Manager of the asset and Trustee of the trust. 

The responsible entity of EM(cid:39)R, Bluewater and the Auburn Office Syndicate is owned wholly by the Group 
and  governed  by  the  licencing  and  legal  obligations  of  a  professional  asset  manager.  The  powers  of  the 
Trustee are governed by the constitution of EM(cid:39)R, Bluewater and the Auburn Office Syndicate respectively 
which sets out the basis of fees that the relevant Trustee can receive. These fees include management fees, 
performance fees, and acquisition fees.  

Based on the assessment above, at the current level of equity investment in EM(cid:39)R, Bluewater and the Auburn 
Office Syndicate the AASB 10 definition of control for these investments is met, and therefore each of these 
investments are consolidated into Elanor Investors Group Financial Statements.

New accounting standards and interpretations 
Certain  new  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  have  been  published  that  are  mandatory  for  the

transitional provisions in AASB 15, the Group has adopted the new rules using fully retrospective transitional

ELANOR INVESTORS GROUP 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

Results 

This section focuses on the operating results and financial performance of the Group. It includes 
disclosures of segmental information, revenue, distributions and cash flow including the relevant 
accounting policies adopted in each area. 

1. 

Segment information 

OVERVIEW 

Segment  information  is  presented  on  the  same  basis  as  that  used  for  internal  reporting  purposes.  The 
segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors of Elanor 
Investors Limited and the Responsible Entity. 

As a result of the sale of the Merrylands property and the John Cootes Furniture business being treated as a 
discontinued operation, the Group has determined that the Special Situations Investment segment is no longer 
required  for  internal  reporting  purposes  and  is  therefore  not  reported  as  a  segment  in  these  financial 
statements.  

The main income statement items used by management to assess each of the divisions are divisional revenue 
and  divisional  EBITDA.  In  addition,  depreciation  and  amortisation  are  analysed  by  division.  Each  of  these 
income statement items is reviewed after adjusting for transaction and establishment costs, amortisation of 
intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. 

BUSINESS SEGMENTS 

The Group is organised into the following divisions by business type: 

Funds Management 

The Funds Management division manages third party owned investment funds and syndicates. As at 30 June 
2019,  the  Funds  Management  division  has  approximately  $1,387  million  of  external  investments  under 
management, being the managed investments. 

Hotels, Tourism and Leisure 

Hotels, Tourism and Leisure originates and manages investment and fund management assets. The current 
investment portfolio includes Featherdale Wildlife Park, Ibis Styles Albany Hotel and 1834 Hospitality, along 
with  a  co-investment  in  Elanor  Metro  and  Prime  Regional  Fund  (Peppers  Cradle  Mountain  Lodge,  Mantra 
Wollongong  Hotel,  Mantra  Pavilion  Wagga  Wagga,  Ibis  Styles  Port  Macquarie,  Ibis  Styles  Tall  Trees, 
Parklands Resort Mudgee, Eaglehawk Hotel, Byron Bay Hotel and Narrabundah Hotel). EMPR is consolidated 
in the Financial Statements.  

Real Estate 

Real  Estate  originates  and  manages  investment  and  fund  management  assets.  The  current  investment 
portfolio comprises co-investments in Elanor Commercial Property Fund, Elanor Retail Property Fund, Hunters 
Plaza Syndicate, Work Zone West Syndicate, Waverley Gardens Fund and the Belconnen Markets Syndicate. 
The Bluewater Square Syndicate and Auburn Office Syndicate are consolidated in the Financial Statements.

In accordance with the new accounting standard AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue 
is  measured  based  on  the  consideration  specified  in  a  contract  with  a  customer.  The  Group  recognises 
revenue when it can be readily measured and when it transfers control over a product or services for each of 
Elanor(cid:79)s activities as described below.  

(cid:25)(cid:63)(cid:56)(cid:46)(cid:61) (cid:55)(cid:43)(cid:56)(cid:43)(cid:49)(cid:47)(cid:55)(cid:47)(cid:56)(cid:62) (cid:48)(cid:47)(cid:47) (cid:60)(cid:47)(cid:64)(cid:47)(cid:56)(cid:63)(cid:47)  

Funds management fee revenue is recognised when the performance obligation is completed, in accordance 
with the Fund(cid:79)s constitution. The funds management and transaction related services are utilised when the 
Group has provided the services, and revenue is calculated and recognised in accordance with the Fund(cid:79)s 
constitution over time. Where fees are sub(cid:57)ect to meeting certain performance hurdles, they are recognised as 
income at the point in time when those conditions have been met.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the good or service is transferred to the 
customer.  

If not received at balance date, revenue is reflected in the balance sheet as a receivable and carried at its 
recoverable value. 

R(cid:47)(cid:56)(cid:62)(cid:43)(cid:54) (cid:51)(cid:56)(cid:45)(cid:57)(cid:55)(cid:47)  

The  Group  is  the  lessor  in  a  number  of  operating  leases.  Rental  income  arising  from  operating  leases  is 
recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  

Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount 
of the lease asset and recognised as an expense over the term of the lease on the same basis as the lease 
income.

The Group(cid:79)s aim is to provide investors with superior ris(cid:58) ad(cid:57)usted returns. 

When determining distributions, the Group(cid:79)s board considers a number of factors, including forecast earnings 
and expected economic conditions. Elanor Investors Group aims to distribute 90(cid:3) of Core Earnings, reflecting 
the Director(cid:79)s view of underlying earnings from ongoing operating activities for the period. 

The following distribution was declared by the E(cid:37)(cid:37) Group either during the period or post balance date: 

ENN (cid:26)(cid:60)(cid:57)(cid:63)(cid:58)  

1. The interim distribution of 6.32 cents per stapled security was declared on 1(cid:20) February 2019 and paid on 1 March 2019. 
2. The final distribution of 9.(cid:19)4 cents per stapled security for the period ended 30 June 2019 was not declared prior to 30 June 2019. The 
Distribution will be paid on 30 August 2019. (cid:39)lease refer to the Director's Report for the calculation of Core Earnings and the Distribution.

On 26 June 201(cid:20), following a strategic review of the deteriorating trading and financial performance of the 
John Cootes Furniture business, the Directors resolved to exit the business, either through a sale or a closure 
of the business.  Following this decision, the John Cootes Furniture business has continued to be classified 
under accounting standards as a Discontinued Operation within these financial statements.   

On 13 of August 201(cid:20) E(cid:37)(cid:37) Group announced that following a sale campaign where no firm proposals were 
received at that stage, Elanor decided to commence an orderly closure of the business. The JCF stores were 
all closed during the 12-month period ended 30 June 2019.   

The remaining Ashley branded Furniture (cid:31)omestores (Ashley stores) owned by the business were sold on 4 
February 2019. Settlement occurred in August 2019.

This note provides information about Elanor Investor Group(cid:79)s earnings on a per security basis. Earnings per 
security (E(cid:39)S) is a measure that ma(cid:58)es it easier for users of Elanor(cid:79)s financial report to compare Elanor(cid:79)s 
performance  between  different  reporting  periods.  Accounting  standards  require  the  disclosure  of  two  E(cid:39)S 
measures,  basic  E(cid:39)S  and  diluted  E(cid:39)S.  E(cid:39)S  information  provides  a  measure  of  interests  of  each  ordinary 
issued security of the parent entity in the performance of the entity over the reporting period while diluted E(cid:39)S 
information provides the same information but ta(cid:58)es into account the effect of all potential dilutive, ordinary 
securities outstanding during the period, such as Elanor(cid:79)s options. 

The tables below show the earnings per share of the Company, the parent entity of the Group and its controlled 
entities as required by accounting standards.

ACCOUNTIN(cid:26) POLICY 

Basic earnings per stapled security is calculated as profit after tax attributable to security holders divided by 
the weighted average number of ordinary stapled securities issued. 

Diluted earnings per stapled security is calculated as profit after tax attributable to security holders ad(cid:57)usted 
for any profit recognised in the period in relation to potential dilutive, stapled securities divided by the weighted 
average number of stapled securities and dilutive stapled securities.

ACCOUNTIN(cid:26) POLICY 

Accounting standards require the application of the (cid:76)balance sheet method(cid:77) to account for Elanor(cid:79)s income 
tax. Accounting profit does not always equal taxable income. There are a number of timing differences between 
the recognition of accounting expenses and the availability of tax deductions or when revenue is recognised 
for accounting purpose and tax purposes. These timing differences reverse over time but they are recognised 
as deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in the balance sheet until they are fully reversed. This is 
referred to as the (cid:76)balance sheet method(cid:77).

Land  and  Buildings  are  carried  at  fair  value  with  changes  in  fair  value  recognised  in  other  comprehensive 
income in the statement of comprehensive income. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or 
liability could be exchanged in an arm's length transaction between (cid:58)nowledgeable, willing parties, other than 
in a forced or liquidation sale. 

In reaching estimates of fair value, management (cid:57)udgement needs to be exercised. The level of management 
(cid:57)udgement required in establishing fair value of the land and buildings for which there is no quoted price in an 
active mar(cid:58)et is reduced through the use of external valuations.

All owner occupied properties in the (cid:31)otel, Tourism and Leisure class are held for use by the Group for the 
supply of services and are classified as land and buildings and stated at their revalued amounts under the 
revaluation  model,  being  the  fair  value  at  the  date  of  revaluation,  less  any  subsequent  accumulated 
depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Fair value is the amount for which the land and 
buildings could be exchanged between (cid:58)nowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. 

Revaluation  increases  arising  from  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  land  and  buildings  are  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive  income  and  accumulated  within  equity,  except  to  the  extent  that  it  reverses  a  revaluation 
decrease for the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to 
profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously expensed. A decrease in the carrying amount arising on 
the  revaluation  of  such  land  and  buildings  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  to  the  extent  that  it  exceeds  the 
balance, if any, held in the properties revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset.

The  (cid:58)ey  inputs  used  to  measure  fair  values  of  investment  properties  are  disclosed  below  along  with  their 
sensitivity to an increase or decrease. 

The  investment  property  fair  values  presented  are  based  on  mar(cid:58)et  values,  which  are  derived  using  the 
capitalisation  and  the  discounted  cash  flow  methods.  The  Group's  preferred  or  primary  method  is  the 
capitalisation method.

The aim of the valuation process is to ensure that assets are held at fair value and that the Group is compliant 
with  applicable  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  regulations,  and  the  Trust(cid:79)s  Constitution  and  Compliance 
(cid:39)lan. 

All properties are required to be internally valued every six months with the exception of those independently 
valued during that six month period. The internal valuations are performed by utilising the information from a 
combination  of  asset  plans  and  forecasting  tools  prepared  by  the  asset  management  team.  Appropriate 
capitalisation rate, terminal yield and discount rates based on comparable mar(cid:58)et evidence and recent external 
valuation  parameters  are  used  to  produce  a  capitalisation  based  valuation  and  a  discounted  cash  flow 
valuation. 

The internal valuations are reviewed by the Chief Operating Officer who recommends each property's valuation 
to the Audit, Ris(cid:58) (cid:4) Compliance Committee and the Board in accordance with the Group's internal valuation 
protocol. 

The Group's valuation policy requires that each property in the portfolio is valued by an independent valuer at 
least every three years.  In practice, properties may be valued more frequently than every three years primarily 
where  there  may  have  been  a  material  movement  in  the  mar(cid:58)et  and  where  there  is  a  significant  variation 
between the carrying value and the internal valuation. 

Independent valuations are performed by independent and external valuers who hold a recognised relevant 
professional qualification and have specialised expertise in the types of investment properties valued.

Capitalisation  rate  is  an  approximation  of  the  ratio  between  the  net  operating  income  produced  by  an 
investment property and its fair value. This excludes consideration of costs of acquisition or disposal. The net 
income is capitalised in perpetuity from the valuation date at an appropriate investment yield. The adopted 
percentage rate investment yield reflects the capitalisation rate and includes consideration of the property type, 
location,  comparable  sales  and  whether  the  property  is  sub(cid:57)ect  to  vacant  possession  (in  the  case  of  hotel 
properties).

(cid:43)nder the DCF method, a property's fair value is estimated using explicit assumptions regarding the benefits 
and liabilities of ownership over the asset's life including an exit or terminal value. The DCF method involves 
the  pro(cid:57)ection  of  a  series  of  cash  flows  on  a  real  property  interest.  To  this  pro(cid:57)ected  cash  flow  series,  an 
appropriate discount rate is applied to establish the present value of the income stream associated with the 
property. The discount rate is the rate of return used to convert a monetary sum, payable or receivable in the 
future,  into  present  value.  The  rate  is  determined  with  regard  to  mar(cid:58)et  evidence  and  prior  independent 
valuation. 

All property investments are categorised as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between 
the hierarchies during the period.

When calculating the income capitalisation approach, the net property income has a strong inter-relationship 
with the adopted capitalisation rate given the methodology involves assessing the total income receivable from 
the property and capitalising this in perpetuity to derive a capital value. In theory, an increase in the income 
and  an  increase  (softening)  in  the  adopted  capitalisation  rate  could  potentially  offset  the  impact  to  the  fair 
value.  The  same  can  be  said  for  a  decrease  in  the  income  and  a  decrease  (tightening)  in  the  adopted 
capitalisation  rate.  A  directionally  opposite  change  in  the  income  and  the  adopted  capitalisation  rate  could 
potentially magnify the impact to the fair value. 

When assessing a discounted cash flow, the adopted discount rate and adopted terminal yield have a strong 
interrelationship in deriving a fair value given the discount rate will determine the rate at which the terminal 
value is discounted to the present value. The impact on the fair value of an increase (softening) in the adopted 
discount rate could potentially offset the impact of a decrease (tightening) in the adopted terminal yield. The 
same can be said for a decrease (tightening) in the adopted discount rate and an increase (softening) in the 
adopted terminal yield. A directionally similar change in the adopted discount rate and adopted terminal yield 
could potentially magnify the impact to the fair value.

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

Fair value of Investment Properties 

Land and Buildings are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognised through profit or loss in the 
statement of comprehensive income. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability could be 
exchanged in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, other than in a forced or 
liquidation sale. 

In reaching estimates of fair value, management judgment needs to be exercised. The level of management 
judgement required in establishing fair value of the land and buildings for which there is no quoted price in an 
active market is reduced through the use of external valuations. 

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and / or for capital appreciation (including property 
under  construction  for  such  purposes).  Investment  properties  are  measured  initially  at  its  cost,  including 
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. Gains 
and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the 
period in which they arise. 

At each reporting date, the carrying values of the investment properties are assessed by the Director's and 
where the carrying value differs materially from the Directors' assessment of fair value, an adjustment to the 
carrying value is recorded as appropriate. 

The  Directors'  assessment  of  fair  value  of  each  investment  property  takes  into  account  latest  independent 
valuations, with updates taking into account any changes in estimated yield, underlying income and valuations 
of comparable properties. In determining the fair value, the capitalisation of net income method and / or the 
discounting of future net cash flows to their present value have been used, which are based upon assumptions 
and judgements in relation to future rental income, property capitalisation rate or estimated yield and make 
reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. 

An  investment  property  is  derecognised  upon  disposal  or  when  the  investment  property  is  permanently 
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising 
on  de-recognition  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 derecognized. 

Investment properties are categorised as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between 
hierarchies during the period.

I(cid:56)(cid:64)(cid:47)(cid:61)(cid:62)(cid:55)(cid:47)(cid:56)(cid:62) (cid:51)(cid:56) (cid:43)(cid:61)(cid:61)(cid:57)(cid:45)(cid:51)(cid:43)(cid:62)(cid:47)(cid:61) (cid:43)(cid:56)(cid:46) (cid:52)(cid:57)(cid:51)(cid:56)(cid:62) (cid:64)(cid:47)(cid:56)(cid:62)(cid:63)(cid:60)(cid:47)(cid:61) 

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to 
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or (cid:57)oint control over 
those policy decisions. 

A (cid:57)oint venture is a (cid:57)oint arrangement whereby the parties that have (cid:57)oint control of the arrangement have rights 
to the net assets of the (cid:57)oint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an 
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the 
parties sharing control. 

(cid:43)nder the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost 
as ad(cid:57)usted for post-acquisition charges in the Group's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 
of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. 

Management  of  the  Group  reviewed  and  assessed  the  classification  of  the  Group's  investment  in  the 
associated entities in accordance with AASB 12(cid:20) on the basis that the Group has significant influence over 
the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. 

The  results  and  assets  and  liabilities  of  associates  or  (cid:57)oint  ventures  are  incorporated  in  these  financial 
statements  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting,  except  when  the  investment,  or  a  portion  thereof,  is 
classified  as  held  for  sale,  in  which  case  it  is  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  AASB  5.  (cid:43)nder  the  equity 
method, an investment in an associate or a (cid:57)oint venture is initially recognised in the statement of financial 
position  at  cost  and  ad(cid:57)usted  thereafter  to  recognise  the  Group's  share  of  the  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income of the associate or (cid:57)oint venture. When the Group's share of losses of an associate or 
a (cid:57)oint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that associate or (cid:57)oint venture (which includes any long-term 
interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate or (cid:57)oint venture), the Group 
discontinues recogni(cid:73)ing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that 
the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or (cid:57)oint 
venture.  

The requirements of AASB 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment 
loss with respect to the Group(cid:79)s investment in an associate or a (cid:57)oint venture. When necessary, the entire 
carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 
'Impairment of Assets' as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair 
value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying 
amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to 
the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases. 

When an entity transacts with an associate or a (cid:57)oint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from 
the transactions with the associate or (cid:57)oint venture are recognised in the Group's financial statements only to 
the extent of interests in the associate or (cid:57)oint venture that are not related to the Group.

The Group borrows funds from financial institutions to partly fund the acquisition of income producing assets, 
such  as  investment  properties,  securities  or  the  acquisition  of  businesses.  The  Group(cid:79)s  borrowings  are 
generally  fixed,  either  directly  or  through  the  use  of  interest  rate  swaps,  and  have  a  fixed  term.  This  note 
provides  information  about  the  Group(cid:79)s  debt  facilities,  including  the  facilities  of  EM(cid:39)R,  Bluewater  Square 
Syndicate and Auburn Office Syndicate. 

The term debt is secured by registered mortgages over all freehold property and registered security interests 
over all present and after acquired property of (cid:58)ey Group entities and companies. The terms of the debt also

CREDIT (cid:25)ACILITIES 

As at 30 June 2019, the Group had unrestricted access to the following credit facilities: 

During the year, the E(cid:37)(cid:37) Group refinanced its debt facilities with a new (cid:2)30.0 million revolver facility, with a 
maturity date of 29 April 2022. The drawn amount at 30 June 2019 is (cid:2)25.5 million. At 30 June 2019 the amount 
of drawn facilities was not hedged. 

The EM(cid:39)R Group also refinanced its (cid:2)46.(cid:19) million debt facility during the year, and obtained an additional (cid:2)4.1 
million  capital  expenditure  debt  capacity  in  the  new  facility.  As  a  result,  the  EM(cid:39)R  Group has  access  to  a 
(cid:2)(cid:20)(cid:19).43 million facility, upon which both the company and trust can draw. The drawn amount at 30 June 2019 
is (cid:2)(cid:20)3.3 million. Of the EM(cid:39)R Group facility, (cid:2)36.6 million will mature on 31 October 2020, with the remaining 
(cid:2)46.(cid:19) million maturing on 31 October 2020. At 30 June 2019, the amount of drawn facilities is hedged to 100(cid:3).  

The Bluewater Square Syndicate has access to a (cid:2)30.2 million facility. The drawn amount at 30 June 2019 is 
(cid:2)29.(cid:19) million which will mature on 30 October 2020. At 30 June 2019, the amount of drawn facilities is hedged 
to 100(cid:3). 

All of the facilities have a variable interest rate. The interest rates on the loans are partially fixed using interest 
rate swaps. The weighted average annual interest rates payable of the loans at 30 June 2019, including the 
impact of the interest rate swaps, is 4.96(cid:3) per annum.

Interest  bearing  liabilities  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value,  being  the  consideration  received  net  of 
transaction costs associated with the borrowing. After initial recognition, interest bearing liabilities are stated 
at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (cid:43)nder the effective interest method, any transaction fees, 
costs, discounts, and premiums directly related to the borrowings are recognised in the statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income over the expected life of the borrowings.  

Interest bearing liabilities are classified as current liabilities where the liability has been drawn under a financing 
facility which expires within 12 months. Amounts drawn under financial facilities which expire after 12 months 
are classified as non-current.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which 
are assets that necessarily ta(cid:58)e a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are 
added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use 
or sale. 

To the extent that variable rate borrowings are used to finance a qualifying asset and are hedged in an effective 
cash flow hedge of interest rate ris(cid:58), the effective portion of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive 
income and reclassified to profit or loss when the qualifying asset impacts profit or loss. To the extent that fixed 
rate  borrowings  are  used  to  finance  a  qualifying  asset  and  are  hedged  in  an  effective  fair  value  hedge  of 
interest rate ris(cid:58), the capitalised borrowing costs reflect the hedged interest rate. 

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on 
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. 

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

The Group(cid:79)s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swap contracts to hedge its exposure to 
movements in variable interest rates.  The interest rate swap agreements allow the Group to raise long term 
borrowings at a floating rate and effectively swap them into a fixed rate.

During  the  year,  the  Group  entered  into  a  put  and  call  option  with  a  third  party  to  acquire  their  11.5(cid:3) 
investment in EM(cid:39)R at fair value. The call option is held by Elanor and the put option is held by the third 
party. As at balance date, the value of the put and call option was nil.

EM(cid:39)R  and  Bluewater  have  entered  into  interest  rate  swap  agreements  with  a  notional  principal  amount 
totaling (cid:2)114.6 million that entitles it to receive interest, at quarterly intervals, at a floating rate on the notional 
principal and oblige it to pay interest at a fixed rate.  

The interest rate swap agreements allow the raising of long term borrowings at a floating rate and effectively 
swap them into a fixed rate. 

D(cid:47)(cid:60)(cid:51)(cid:64)(cid:43)(cid:62)(cid:51)(cid:64)(cid:47)(cid:61) 

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are 
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of 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 Group designates its hedging instruments, which include derivatives, as cash flow hedges. 

At  the  inception  of  the  hedge  relationship,  the  entity  documents  the  relationship  between  the  hedging 
instrument and the hedged item, along with its ris(cid:58) management ob(cid:57)ectives and its strategy for underta(cid:58)ing 
various hedge transactions. 

Furthermore,  at  the  inception  of  the  hedge  and  on  an  ongoing  basis,  the  Group  documents  whether  the 
hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item 
attributable to the hedged ris(cid:58). 

C(cid:43)(cid:61)(cid:50) (cid:48)(cid:54)(cid:57)(cid:65) (cid:50)(cid:47)(cid:46)(cid:49)(cid:47)(cid:61)  

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow 
hedges  is  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  and  accumulated  under  the  heading  of  cash  flow 
hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss 
and is included in the (cid:78)other gains and losses(cid:79) line item. 

Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified 
to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised 
hedged  item.  (cid:31)owever,  when  the  forecast  transaction  that  is  hedged  results  in  the  recognition  of  a  non-
financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the 
cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability. 

(cid:31)edge  accounting  is  discontinued  when  the  Group  revo(cid:58)es  the  hedging  relationship,  when  the  hedging 
instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. 
Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains 
in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a 
forecast  transaction  is  no  longer  expected  to  occur,  the  gain  or  loss  accumulated  in  equity  is  recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active mar(cid:58)et (for example, over-the-counter 
derivatives)  is  determined  using  valuation  techniques.  These  valuation  techniques  maximise  the  use  of 
observable mar(cid:58)et data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all 
significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. 

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable mar(cid:58)et data, the instrument is included in 
level 3. This is not applicable for the Group or the EIF Group. 

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include: 

(cid:74)  The use of quoted mar(cid:58)et prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments; and 
(cid:74)  The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash 

flows based on observable yield curves; 

All of the resulting fair value estimates of financial instruments are included in level 2. There are no level 3 
financial instruments in either the Group or the EIF Group.

The Group measures its financial assets at amortised cost.  

At initial recognition, the Group measures its financial assets at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. 
The  Group  assessed  that  the  credit  ris(cid:58)  of  its  financial  asset  has  not  significantly  increased  since  initial 
recognition. (cid:31)ence, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9 which requires expected 
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of receivables.  

The  expected  credit  losses  in  these  financial  assets  are  estimated  using  a  provision  matrix  based  on  the 
Group(cid:79)s  historical  credit  loss  experience,  ad(cid:57)usted  for  factors  that  are  specific  to  the  debtors  and  general

Equity-settled security-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  security-based  payments  is  expensed  on  a 
straight-line  basis  over  the  vesting  period,  based  on  the  Group(cid:79)s  estimate  of  equity  instruments  that  will 
eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. 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, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, 
with a corresponding ad(cid:57)ustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

covering specific areas, such as mitigating foreign exchange, interest rate and liquidity ris(cid:58)s. 

The Group's Treasury Guidelines provide a framewor(cid:58) for managing the financial ris(cid:58)s of the Group with a (cid:58)ey 
philosophy of ris(cid:58) mitigation. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, not as trading or other 
speculative instruments. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps where 
possible to hedge certain ris(cid:58) exposures. 

The Group uses different methods to measure different types of ris(cid:58) to which it is exposed. These methods 
include  sensitivity  analysis  in  the  case  of  interest  rate  ris(cid:58),  ageing  analysis  for  credit  ris(cid:58)  and  cash  flow 
forecasting for liquidity ris(cid:58). 

There have been no other significant changes in the types of financial ris(cid:58)s or the Group's ris(cid:58) management 
program (including methods used to measure the ris(cid:58)s).

ACCOUNTIN(cid:26) POLICY 

(cid:39)rovisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made 
of the amount of the obligation. 

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present 
obligation at the end of the reporting period, ta(cid:58)ing into account the ris(cid:58)s and uncertainties surrounding the 
obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its 
carrying  amount  is  the  present  value  of  those  cash  flows  (where  the  effect  of  the  time  value  of  money  is 
material). 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a 
third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received 
and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably(cid:7)

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and 
long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured 
reliably.  

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using 
the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.  

Liabilities  recognised  in  respect  of  long  term  employee  benefits  are  measured  as  the  present  value  of  the 
estimated future cash outflows, using a high quality Corporate Bond rate as the discount rate, to be made in

Management Rights represent the acquisition of funds management rights and associated licences from Moss 
Capital (cid:39)ty Limited at I(cid:39)O for (cid:2)1.5 million. At I(cid:39)O, the estimated useful life of the acquired funds management 
rights was 10 years.

Funds management rights have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of licenses 
over their estimated useful lives of 10 years.

O(cid:39)ER(cid:39)IE(cid:40) 

The Group has short term and long term ownership-based compensation schemes for executives and senior 
employees. 

The Group has implemented an STI scheme (the STI Scheme), based on an annual profit share. The STI 
Scheme is based on a profit share pool, to be calculated each year based on the Group's financial performance 
for the relevant year. 

The purpose of the STI Scheme is to provide an annual bonus arrangement that incentivises and rewards 
management for achieving annual pre-tax ROE for security holders in excess of 10(cid:3) per annum. The profit 
share pool is based on 20(cid:3) of ROE above 10(cid:3), 22.5(cid:3) of the ROE above 15(cid:3), 25(cid:3) of the ROE above 1(cid:19).5(cid:3) 
and 30(cid:3) of the ROE above 20(cid:3). The Scheme provides that 50(cid:3) of any awards to individuals from the profit 
share  pool  may  be  delivered  in  deferred  securities,  which  vest  two  years  after  award,  provided  that  the 
employee remains with the Group and maintains minimum performance standards. 

The  Elanor  Investors  Group  Board  monitors  the  appropriateness  of  the  profit  share  scheme  and  any 
distribution of the profit share pool will be at the Board's discretion, ta(cid:58)ing into consideration the forecast and 
actual financial performance and position of the Group. 

The Group has implemented an LTI scheme (the LTI Scheme), based on an executive loan security plan and 
an executive options plan. 

(cid:43)nder the executive loan security plan awards (comprising the loan of funds to eligible Elanor employees to 
acquire securities which are sub(cid:57)ect to vesting conditions) have been issued to certain employees. 

The limited recourse loan provided by the Group under the loan security plan carries interest of an amount 
equal  to  any  cash  dividend  or  distribution  but  not  including  any  dividend  or  distribution  of  capital,  or  an 
abnormal distribution. 

In addition to the loan security plan, the Group has implemented an executive option plan comprising rights to 
acquire securities at a specified exercise price, sub(cid:57)ect to the achievement of vesting conditions, which may 
be  offered  to  certain  eligible  employees  (including  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  direct  reports  to  the  Chief 
Executive Officer and other selected (cid:58)ey executives) as determined by the Board. Executive Options currently 
on issue are to the Chief Executive Officer only, over 2.0 million securities. 

The  purpose  of  the  LTI  Scheme  is  to  assist  in  attracting,  motivating  and  retaining  (cid:58)ey  management  and 
employees. The LTI Scheme operates by providing (cid:58)ey management and employees with the opportunity to 
participate in the future performance of Group securities. The vesting conditions LTI plans and related awards 
include both a service based hurdle and an absolute total security holder return (TSR) performance hurdle. 
The service based hurdle is 2, 3 and 4 years in the case of the loan security plan. The TSR is 10(cid:3) per annum 
in the case of the loan security plan and 15(cid:3) per annum in the case of the options plan. The 201(cid:19) option plan 
has an exercise price of (cid:2)3.05 per security (40(cid:3) premium to the (cid:2)2.1(cid:20) offer price) 

TSR was selected as the LTI performance measure to ensure an alignment between the security holder return 
and reward for executives.

The Group recognises the fair value at the grant date of equity settled securities above as an employee benefit 
expense proportionally over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.  Fair value of options 
is measured at grant date using a Monte-Carlo Simulation and Binomial option pricing model, performed by 
an independent valuer, and models the future price of the Group's stapled securities.

Equity-settled security-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 security-based payments is expensed on a 
straight-line  basis  over  the  vesting  period,  based  on  the  Group(cid:79)s  estimate  of  equity  instruments  that  will 
eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. 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, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, 
with a corresponding ad(cid:57)ustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

Independent Auditor’s Report

We  confirm  that the independence  declaration required  by  the Corporations  Act  2001,  which  has 
been given to the directors of Elanor Investors Limited and Elanor Funds Management Limited (the 
“Responsible Entity”), as responsible entity of Elanor Investment Fund, would be in the same terms 
if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the financial report in respect of Elanor Investors Group for the current period. These 
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming 
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Key Audit Matter 

Property, plant, and equipment and investment 
property valuation 

As at 30 June 2019, Elanor Investors Group 
recognised property plant and equipment valued at 
$237.3 million as disclosed in Note 8 and investment 
property valued at $58.9 million as disclosed in Note 
9.  

Note  8  and  9  outline  two  valuation  methodologies 
used by Elanor Investors Group. The capitalisation of 
net  income  method  applies  a  capitalisation  rate  to 
normalised  market  net  operating 
income.  The 
discounted  cash  flow  method  uses  a  cash  flow 
forecast and terminal value calculation discounted to 
present value. 

The  valuation  process  requires  significant  judgment 
in the following key areas: 
  Discount rate, 
 
 
 
 
 

Capitalisation rate, 
Terminal value,  
NOI, 
Capital expenditures 
Revenue  per  Available  Room  (“RevPAR”), 
Average  Daily  Room  Rate 
(“ADR”), 
Occupancy % (hotel specific) 

Accordingly,  internal  and  external  valuers  apply 
professional judgement concerning market conditions 
and factors impacting individual properties.  

The internal and external valuations are reviewed by 
management  who  recommend  each  property’s 
valuation  to  the  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  and  the 
Board  in  accordance  with  Elanor  Investors  Group’s 
valuation protocol. 

How the scope of our audit responded to 
the Key Audit Matter 

Our procedures included but, were not limited to: 

 

 

 

 

Assessing  management’s  process  over  property 
valuations  and  the  oversight  applied  by  the 
directors; 

Assessing  the  independence,  competence  and 
objectivity of the external and internal valuers; 

Performing  an  analytical 
risk 
assessment  of  the  portfolio,  analysing  the  key 
inputs and assumptions; 

review  and 

Assessing the assumptions used in the portfolio, 
with  particular  focus  on  the  capitalisation  rate 
and  discount  rate  with  reference  to  external 
market  trends  and  transactions  and  challenging 
those assumptions where appropriate; 

  Holding discussions with  management  to obtain 
an  understanding  of  valuation  movements  and 
their  identification  of  any  additional  property 
specific matters; and 

 

Testing  on  a  sample  basis  of  properties,  both 
externally and internally valued, the following: 

o 

o 

Testing management methodology; 

The  integrity  of  the  information  in  the 
valuation by agreeing key inputs such as net 
operating income to underlying records and 
source evidence; 

o  Assessing 

the 

reference 

forecasts  used 

in 
the 
to  current 
valuations  with 
financial  results  such  as  revenues  and 
expenses, 
expenditure 
capital 
requirements,  vacancy  rates  and  lease 
renewals, (as appropriate); and 

o 

The mathematical accuracy of the models. 

We  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the 
disclosures  included  in  Note  8  and  9  to  the 
consolidated financial statements.

Key Audit Matter 

Accounting treatment for new investments and 
changes to existing investments 

Elanor 
Investors  Group’s  capital  management 
strategy  involves  the  holding  of  a  number  of 
investments  in  funds  which  are  managed  by  Elanor 
Funds  Management  Limited,  a  subsidiary  of  Elanor 
Investors Group.  

The accounting treatment for each type of investment 
is  dependent  on  the  Group’s  relationship  with  these 
investments.  The  determination  for  an  individual 
investment  is  the  result  of  a  critical  accounting 
judgement  applied  to  many  factors,  principally 
including  consideration  of  the  extent  of  its  voting 
stake,  the  relationship  with  other  stakeholders,  the 
constitutional arrangements for the trust or fund, its 
manager  and  responsible  entity  or  trustee,  and  the 
extent  to  which  Elanor  Investors  Group’s  economic 
exposure increases when management fees are paid.  

As  disclosed  in  Note  10,  investments  that  are 
treated  as 
determined 
to  be  controlled  are 
subsidiaries  and  are  consolidated 
into  Elanor 
Investors  Group.  Investments  over  which  it  is 
determined that Elanor Investors Group is deemed to 
have significant influence are classified as associates 
and are equity accounted. 

How the scope of our audit responded to 
the Key Audit Matter 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

 

 

 

 

Assessing  management’s  processes  for  their 
review  and  determination  of  the  accounting  for 
its  investments  and  evaluating  management’s 
position papers; 

Assessing  legal  documentation  and  business 
arrangements relating to the constitution of the 
funds  and  trusts,  decision-making  over  their 
activities and operations of the manager; 

Assessing  the  impact  of  accounting  on  the 
existence  of  preferential  voting  rights  held  by 
Elanor Investors Group and the rights to remove 
the manager; and 

Assessing  the  exposure  of  Elanor  Investors 
Group to variable return via ownership interests

arrangements  such  as  ongoing  management 
fees, service fees and performance fees.

We  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the 
disclosures  included  in  Note  10  to  the  consolidated 
financial statements. 

Other Information  

The directors of the Responsible Entity (the “Directors”) are responsible for the other information. 
The other information comprises the Directors’ Report, which we obtained prior to the date of this 
auditor’s report, and also  includes the following information which will be included in the Group’s 
annual  report  (but  does  not  include  the  financial  report  and  our  auditor’s  report  thereon): 
Distributions  Summary,  Overview  and  Strategy,  Operating  and  Financial  Review,  Interest  in  the 
Group, Directors Summary, and additional ASX disclosures, which are expected to be made available 
to us after that date. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
identified above and, in doing so, 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. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior 
to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

When we read the Distributions Summary, Overview and Strategy, Operating and Financial Review, 
Interest in the Group, Directors Summary, and additional ASX disclosures, if we conclude that there 
is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and 
use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud 
or error.

Independent Auditor’s Report

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing Elanor Investors Group 
and EIF Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to 
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to 
liquidate the Company and/or the Fund or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to 
do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  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. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk 
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
from  error,  as 
intentional  omissions, 
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

forgery, 

  Obtain  an  understanding  of internal  control relevant  to the  audit  in  order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company and Fund’s 
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we 
are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 
report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Company or the Fund to cease to continue as a going 
concern.  

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit.  

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and  to  communicate  with them  all relationships and  other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related 
safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
