Capital structure Cash and term deposits at 30 June 2018 totalled $95,564,000 and total bank debt outstanding was $375,540,000. 7 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Treasury policy The Group manages interest rate risk in accordance with a Board approved policy covering the types of instruments, range of protection and duration of instruments. The financial instruments cover interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Maturities of these instruments are up to a maximum of five years. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements allow the Group to raise long term borrowings at floating rates and swap a portion of those borrowings into fixed rates. The approved range of interest rate cover is based on the projected debt levels for each currency and reduced for each future year. At 30 June 2018, the Group had no interest rate hedges (2017: no interest rate hedges) due to the low level of Group debt. $545,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan facility; and $15,000,000 credit support facility (for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantees). Liquidity and funding The Group’s secured bank debt facilities were amended and restated on 15 August 2017 and comprise the following: • • The above facilities mature on 15 August 2020 and are supported by interlocking guarantees from most Group entities and are secured by specific property mortgages. Debt drawn under these facilities bears interest at the relevant inter-bank benchmark reference rate plus a margin of between 1.15% and 2.1% per annum. Cash flows from operations Net operating cash inflows increased to $207,749,000 from $188,681,000 recorded in the prior comparable year. This increase was driven by an overall increase in operating cash flow from the Group’s major operating businesses and a reduction in tax paid due to timing differences. Impact of legislation and other external requirements There were no changes in environmental or other legislative requirements during the year that have significantly impacted the results of operations of the Group. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS BY DIVISION ENTERTAINMENT Entertainment – Australia As at 30 June Cinema locations * Cinema screens * 2018 77 703 2017 Movement 73 674 4 29 * Managed and joint venture cinema sites (excludes Moonlight Cinema sites and screens). The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $68,600,000, a decrease of $10,357,000 or 13.1% below the prior comparable year. The total Australian Box Office for the year finished 4.7% below the prior year and the Group’s box office traded in line with market. The titles that grossed over $30 million at the Australian Box Office during the year included: Avengers: Infinity War ($61.7 million); Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($58.0 million); Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ($48.6 million); Black Panther ($40.7 million); Deadpool 2 ($35.5 million); Thor: Ragnarok ($35.2 million); and The Greatest Showman ($34.4 million). The top 50 films grossed $893.2 million, only $1.2 million behind the top 50 films of 2017 which grossed $894.5 million however the balance of the 2018 slate outside of the top 50 films was 16.1% below the prior year. The total revenues for the division were correspondingly impacted by the fall in the Australian Box Office. The average admission price declined by 1.7% due to targeted discounting which was largely offset by increased admissions and merchandising spend. Strong growth in Merchandising spend per admission of 4.3% was achieved as a result of new digital conversion campaigns and a greater focus on core range sales. Cost of goods sold reduced by 3.4% resulting in an overall increase in merchandising profit per customer. Good growth in other revenues including advertising up 7% and online booking fees up 22% underpinned by a 42% increase in online transactions. Costs were impacted by rising energy and electricity charges which increased by 12% ($1,161,000) and new site opening expenses of $826,000. The Group’s focus on a premium and value cinema model has delivered good results, with most value sites benefitted from a combination of increased admissions and merchandising spend. In premium locations, the Group has been able to achieve an increase in the average admission price at peak times and an increase in the percentage of customers choosing premium cinemas relative to traditional cinemas during the year. 8 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The Group continued to pursue increased market share and visitation loyalty through the Cinebuzz program with membership increasing by a record 33% which represents an increase of over 500,000 members since 30 June 2017. Cinebuzz member bookings now represent 64% of total admissions and the program is a powerful marketing and sales channel. During the year the Group opened four new cinemas, totalling 29 screens. These included new Event Cinemas in Smithfield (Cairns) which includes one Vmax and five traditional screens, Palmerston (Darwin), which includes two Vmax and four traditional screens, and Whitford (Perth) which includes two Gold Class, two Vmax and four traditional screens. In addition, Village Plenty Valley opened in April 2018 including Gold Class and Vmax auditoria. These new sites contributed negatively to earnings, as expected in the first year of trading. With the exception of Palmerston, the cinemas are trading in line with initial expectations. New Event Cinemas in Coomera (Gold Coast) and Kawana (Sunshine Coast) are due to open later in 2018 and will incorporate premium cinemas and new concepts. Entertainment – New Zealand As at 30 June Cinema locations * Cinema screens * * Managed and joint venture cinema sites. 2018 19 129 2017 Movement 18 124 1 5 The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $11,150 000, an increase of $1,105,000 or 11.0% above the prior year after adjusting for the contribution from the Fiji Cinema Joint Venture in the prior year. Total New Zealand Box Office fell by 1.5% whilst the Group’s box office revenues were marginally above the prior year. The five highest-grossing titles within the New Zealand market included: Avengers: Infinity War (NZ$9.8 million); Star Wars: The Last Jedi (NZ$8.4 million); Black Panther (NZ$ 6.8 million); Thor: Ragnarok (NZ$6.8 million); and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (NZ$6.4 million). These five titles achieved a combined total of NZ$38.2 million compared to the top five titles in the prior year which collectively grossed NZ$30.6 million. Whilst these highest-grossing titles performed very well, mid-tier film product was comparatively weaker with only 51 films grossing over NZ$1.0 million compared to 57 titles in the prior year. Local film content was also comparatively weak, with New Zealand titles comprising 2.4% of box office compared to 3.5% in the prior year. Merchandising spend per admission increased by 3.5%, driven by a focus on the core product range and a number of successful candy bar combo promotions. There was a strong increase in online booking fee revenue of 44% over the prior year, with 30% of all admissions booked online. Costs decreased by $1,556,000 on flat admissions driven by a focus on new operating models. Income from the Virtual Print Fee (“VPF”) arrangements totalled $932,000 (2017: $1,397,000). These arrangements are expected to conclude in the 30 June 2019 year with remaining income of approximately $732,000. The New Zealand circuit continues to pursue market share through the Cinebuzz loyalty program, with membership increasing by 17% since 30 June 2017. The Group disposed of its two-thirds interest in the Fiji Cinema Joint Venture on 29 June 2017. The prior year result included the Group’s share of earnings from the Fiji Cinema Joint Venture of $742,000. Entertainment – Germany As at 30 June Cinema locations * Cinema screens * * Managed and joint venture cinema sites. 2018 54 418 2017 Movement 52 409 2 9 The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $19,918,000, a decline of $2,328,000 or 10.5% below the prior comparable year. The result reflects an 8.9% fall in the total German market admissions which was impacted by the relative underperformance of the release slate, extreme and record weather conditions and disruption caused by the staging of the FIFA World Cup that was held in June and July 2018. The top ten titles at the German Box Office during the year were: Fack Ju Göhte 3 (6.1 million admissions); Star Wars: The Last Jedi (5.9 million admissions); Despicable Me 3 (4.6 million admissions); Avengers: Infinity War 9 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T (3.3 million admissions); IT (3.1 million admissions); Fifty Shades Freed (2.8 million admissions); Deadpool 2 (2.0 million admissions); Dieses Bescheuerte Herz (2.0 million admissions); Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2.0 million admissions); and Bullyparade – Der Film (1.9 million admissions). The top ten films achieved total market admissions of 33.70 million, consistent with the top ten films of the 2017 year which achieved 33.74 million admissions. Outside of the top ten films, the market underperformed on a comparative basis, down 12.5%. German-produced films represented 21.2% (2017: 13.9%) of the German Box Office and admissions to German films increased by 36% over the previous year. The online ticketing percentage increased 16.8%. Average admission price and screen advertising revenues were consistent with the prior year whilst merchandising profit per admission increased by 7.3% and booking fee income was up 7.4%. Costs were well managed and the strengthening of the Euro by 5.7% against the Australian dollar also assisted with the conversion. Income from the Virtual Print Fee (“VPF”) arrangements totalled $6,819,000 (2017: $5,795,000) and this income item is expected to wind-down over the next two years and conclude in the 30 June 2020 year. The VPF income for the 2019 and 2020 financial years is expected to deliver approximately $2,632,000 and $2,630,000 respectively. The Cinestar loyalty program was enhanced and has increased the membership base by 27.8%. A strong focus on increasing loyalty members and the introduction of online package sales is expected to deliver further growth. Cinema locations increased during the year with the addition of the two-screen leased site Weimar Atrium and the 7-screen freehold site Neumünster. There are three new leasehold sites under current development including: Augsburg, with 9-screens and expected to open in October 2018; Remscheid with 5-screens and expected to open in the first quarter of the 2019 calendar year; and Freising with 5-screens and also expected to open in the first quarter of the 2019 calendar year. The three new cinemas will incorporate traditional as well as introduce premium seating concepts. HOSPITALITY AND LEISURE Hotels and Resorts As at 30 June Locations * Rooms * * Owned and managed hotels. 2018 55 8,975 2017 58 9,132 Movement (3) (157) The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $69,270,000, an increase of $16,536,000 or 31.4% above the prior comparable year. Occupancy in the Group’s owned hotels (all brands) increased three percentage points to 79.5% whilst the average room rate increased by 3.4% to $185, resulting in an increase in revenue per available room (“revpar”) of 7.5%. In locations where comparable competitive statistics are available, the majority of the Group’s owned and managed hotels exceeded market RevPar growth. The majority of the Group’s owned hotels delivered earnings growth with a total of 56% of growth coming from new hotels QT Melbourne (opened September 2016), QT Queenstown (opened December 2017) and Rydges Geelong (acquired March 2017), and 44% from all other owned hotels. The Sydney market continues to perform well, albeit with some supply induced softening impacting demand in the second half, and new supply in Melbourne capped growth in that location. Occupancy in the Group’s owned Rydges hotels increased by two percentage points to 80.3% and the average room rate increased marginally to $159, resulting in an increase in revpar of 3.6%. Demand levels remained close to all time highs for the majority of the Group’s owned Rydges Hotels and this was particularly the case in Queenstown, Rotorua and Cairns. A strong first full year contribution from Rydges Geelong (acquired March 2017) also assisted the result with 33% of the overall growth in earnings from Rydges owned hotels coming from Geelong. Occupancy in the Group’s QT hotels increased by 4.4 percentage points over the prior comparable period to 80.7% and the average room rate increased by 5.7% to $235, resulting in an increase in revpar of 11.7%. QT Queenstown (opened December 2017) attained optimal occupancy levels soon after opening and the impact of QT Queenstown, together with the first full year of trading for QT Melbourne (opened September 2016), contributed 57% of the overall growth in earnings from owned QT hotels. QT Sydney continues to trade well albeit with a marginal impact from new supply in the Sydney market. Strong growth in Conference & Events business underpinned profit uplifts from Canberra and the Gold Coast and, in addition, the Gold Coast also benefitted from the activity associated with the staging of the Commonwealth Games in April 2018. 10 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Occupancy in the Group’s Atura hotels increased 2.1 percentage points over the prior comparable year to 72.3% and average room rate increased by 1.2% to $141, resulting in an increase in revpar of 4.3%. Managed hotels across New Zealand and most Australian mainland capital cities produced good results. The Brisbane properties recorded solid growth despite recent increased supply within that market and regional centres, such as Bathurst and Kalgoorlie, also traded well. The management services agreements for the Art Series Hotels ended in October 2017, whilst hotels located in Brisbane, Mackay, Newcastle, Melbourne and Tailem Bend in South Australia joined the managed portfolio in the second half of the year. In addition, Rydges Darwin Central joined the portfolio in July 2018, and a management development consulting agreement has been signed for The Hermitage Aoraki Mount Cook. Thredbo Alpine Resort The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $21,838,000, an increase of $3,651,000 or 20.1% above the prior comparable year. The 2017 snow season was consistent with the 2016 season in July and August however September 2017 experienced good snowfall resulting in a 40% increase in skiers which largely contributed to an overall increase in visitation of 12% for the season. Total revenue for the year grew 10% to $72,971,000 with lift pass revenue for the 2017 snow season from 1 July 2017 increasing by 13%, and similar increases achieved in other ski-related ancillary revenue streams. Strong food and beverage revenues contributed to overall growth, with revenue improving by 15% over the prior year. Summer revenues continue to grow, underpinned by growth in mountain biking visitation with total summer revenue increasing by 19% over the prior year. PROPERTY AND OTHER INVESTMENTS The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $16,528,000, an increase of $7,185,000 or 76.9% above the prior year. The improved result includes rental income from the two properties located at 458-472 George Street, Sydney, which were acquired in May 2017 and are currently leased to several retail and commercial tenants. The result was further assisted by a fair value increment of the investment properties of $5,750,000. Updated independent valuations for the majority of the Group’s properties have been obtained at 30 June 2018, and based on these valuations the fair value of the Group’s property portfolio at 30 June 2018 is approximately $2.0 billion (including investment properties), whilst the book value of these interests is $1.2 billion. Further information regarding the fair value of the Group’s property portfolio is disclosed in note 3.3 to the financial statements. UNALLOCATED REVENUES AND EXPENSES The unallocated revenues and expenses include the Group’s corporate functions and various head office expenses. The decrease in the net expense reflects the new corporate structure, reduced incentive payments and general cost saving initiatives. 11 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE FINANCIAL YEARS The Group’s strategic plan will depend on industry, economic and political conditions, the potential impact of global events, the future financial performance and available capital, the competitive environment, evolving customer needs and trends, and the availability of attractive opportunities. It is likely that the Group’s strategies will continue to evolve and change in response to these and other factors, and there can be no absolute assurance that these current strategies, as detailed below, will be achieved. PROPERTY The Group has a property portfolio including land and buildings, integral plant and equipment and long term leasehold land and improvements with a fair value at 30 June 2018 of $1.96 billion (see note 3.3 to the financial statements). The Group will pursue the following strategies in relation to the property portfolio: • optimising the potential future development of the properties located at 458-472 George Street, Sydney; • identifying other potential future developments of the Group’s freehold properties; and • managing and maximising rental income associated with the Group’s investment properties. Industry developments and risk factors The independently determined fair value of the Group’s property portfolio may rise or fall according to a number of factors outside of the Group’s control including changes in applicable property market conditions. The Group’s property portfolio includes property in zones of earthquake risk in New Zealand. A catastrophic incident affecting a Group property could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s earnings as a result of catastrophic damage and loss of future profits. ENTERTAINMENT Whilst the Group has no control over the general audience appeal of available films, providing consumers with a demonstrably superior experience in the cinema to that which can be achieved in the home is a central strategic platform. To achieve this, the Group will pursue the following strategies: • • • • • • • • refurbishing key premium locations and reviewing and where appropriate closing underperforming locations; implementing new pricing strategies to drive improvements in the average admission price and / or admission numbers; developing new food and beverage concepts to drive improvements in spend per head; enhancing the Cinebuzz loyalty program to grow membership and customer engagement; growing alternative content to reduce reliance on Hollywood film titles; identifying other sources of entertainment income; sustaining audiences to grow advertising and sponsorship revenue; and leveraging technology to increase efficiency through automation. Industry developments and risk factors The Group believes that there are certain current issues pertaining to the industry that have the capacity to impact the strategic plans and future direction of the cinema operations. The Group will continue to monitor developments in relation to the following issues: • alternative film delivery methods and the rise in popularity of other forms of entertainment (including over-the-top (“OTT”) internet content, subscription-based streaming services and video on demand (“VOD”)); shortening of the release window of film to other formats such as OTT and VOD; increase in unauthorised recording (piracy) of visual recordings for commercial sale and distribution via the internet; increase in competition including in relation to pricing; international media industry consolidation which may reduce the number of distributors of Hollywood film titles; changes in operating expenses including employee expenses and energy costs; and impact of weather on cinema attendance. • • • • • • HOTELS AND RESORTS The Group will continue to provide hotel guests with accommodation that consistently delivers a product and service that meets or exceeds guest expectations. To provide this, the Group will continue to pursue the following strategies: • • upgrading key properties to deliver growth in earnings; adding new rooms to the Group’s portfolio including through new hotel management or other agreements, redevelopment of existing properties and freehold acquisitions; enhancing the Priority Guest Rewards loyalty program to grow membership and customer engagement; growing conference and events revenue; improving and innovating food and beverage offerings in the Group’s hotels to build incremental spend and enhance each hotel’s reputation; and leveraging technology to increase efficiency through automation. • • • • 12 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Industry developments and risk factors The Group believes that there are certain current issues pertaining to the industry that have the capacity to impact the strategic plans and future direction of the hotel operations. The Group will continue to monitor developments in relation to the following issues: • • • • new hotel supply in key markets increasing competition for the Group’s hotels in those markets; competition for the distribution of rooms from online travel agents; changes in operating expenses including employee expenses and energy costs; and growth and market penetration of alternative accommodation providers. THREDBO ALPINE RESORT The key strategy for the Thredbo Alpine Resort is to maintain the facility as one of the premier Australian holiday destinations. This strategy includes: • • • • • continuing to ensure the popularity, high quality and ambience of the winter-time resort facility; continuing to improve snowmaking capability to mitigate risk in poor snow seasons; increasing the number and quality of sporting and cultural events to increase visitation outside of the snow season; expanding the mountain bike trail network to appeal to a broader range of riders; and ensuring that the environmental integrity of the Resort is maintained and, where possible, improved. Industry developments and risk factors The Group believes that there are certain current issues pertaining to the industry that have the capacity to impact the strategic plans and future direction of Thredbo’s operations. The Group will continue to monitor developments in relation to the following issues: • • • reliance on natural snowfall, which is partially mitigated by the Group’s snow making capability; changes in operating expenses including employee expenses and energy costs; and short and long-term climate-related physical, regulatory and transition risks. Further information regarding the Group’s response to climate change is available in section 5.8 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Statement.

Remuneration arrangements for the CEO Jane Hastings commenced as the Group’s new CEO with effect from 1 July 2017. Ms Hastings’ remuneration arrangements were set by the Board following advice from remuneration consultants in the prior year and full details of Ms Hastings’ remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2018 are disclosed in the remuneration table on page 23. In accordance with the CEO’s contract, a review of Ms Hastings’ remuneration arrangements was conducted by the Board in the year ended 30 June 2018, including consideration of updated market benchmarking information. Market benchmarking for the CEO role considers the market capitalisation of the Group and the size, diversity and complexity of the Group’s operations, noting that by market capitalisation the Group is within the top 150 companies in the All Ordinaries index. Following this review, reasonable adjustments were made to the CEO’s fixed annual remuneration and maximum short term incentive opportunity with effect from 1 July 2018. Details of these new arrangements are set out on page 21. Review of long term incentive arrangements As foreshadowed in the 2017 Annual Report, the Board conducted a review of the Group’s long term incentive arrangements during the year ended 30 June 2018, with assistance from remuneration consultants as disclosed on page 22. The review found that the existing structure of the Executive Performance Rights Plan remained appropriate, and that the hurdles continued to provide appropriately challenging targets for plan participants and an alignment with shareholder interests. The Board continues to consider opportunities to further align the Group’s incentive arrangements with the Group’s long-term strategic objectives. Changes in key management personnel As CEO, Ms Hastings has reviewed and amended the internal organisational structure and this has resulted in some changes in the determination of which other executives meet the definition of “key management personnel” requiring disclosure in the remuneration report. Details of the key management personnel for the year ended 30 June 2018 are set out on page 22. The Remuneration Report provides further details regarding the above matters as well as important material on remuneration strategy, structure and outcomes. The Board commends the Remuneration Report to you. AG Rydge Chairman 16 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the Group’s key management personnel (“KMP”) as defined in AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures including non-executive directors, the CEO (who is also the Managing Director), and other senior executives who have authority for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. The KMP for the financial year are set out on page 22. Remuneration philosophy The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on remuneration policy and packages applicable to the Board members and senior executives. The objective of the remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities, and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, motivating and retaining people of the appropriate quality. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract appropriately qualified and experienced directors and executives. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice on the level of remuneration packages. The remuneration packages of the CEO and senior executives include an at-risk component that is linked to the overall financial and operational performance of the Group and based on the achievement of specific goals of the Group. Executives participate in the Group’s Executive Performance Rights Plan. The long term benefits of the Executive Performance Rights Plan are conditional upon the Group achieving certain performance criteria, details of which are outlined below. Further details in relation to the Group’s share plans are provided in Note 6.1 to the financial statements. Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director remuneration is separate and distinct from senior executive remuneration. Non-executive director remuneration Objective The Group’s remuneration policy for non-executive directors aims to ensure that the Group can attract, retain and appropriately remunerate suitably skilled, experienced and committed individuals to serve on the Board and its committees. Structure The constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 October 2010 when shareholders approved a maximum aggregate remuneration of $1,500,000 per year. Non-executive directors do not receive any performance related remuneration nor are they issued shares or performance rights. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned among directors are reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. A committee fee is also paid for being a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The payment of the committee fee recognises the additional time commitment required by directors who serve on those committees. Other Board committees may be appointed from time to time to deal with issues associated with the conduct of the Group’s various activities, and directors serving on such committees may receive an additional fee in recognition of this additional commitment. The Board has approved non-executive director fees for the year ending 30 June 2019 as follows: Chairman (including committee fees) Other non-executive directors Base fee Committee fee Additional fee for the Chairman of the Board committees 17 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report 2019 $ 2018 $ 328,000 321,000 134,000 21,000 18,000 131,000 21,000 18,000 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Structure (continued) The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2018 is detailed on page 23. Directors’ fees cover all main Board activities. Non-executive directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable business related expenses, including travel, as may be incurred in the discharge of their duties. CEO and other executive remuneration Objective The Group’s remuneration policy aims to reward the CEO and other executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group, and to: • reward executives for Group, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks and key performance indicators (“KPIs”); align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. • • • Structure In determining the level and composition of executive remuneration, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages for senior executives, based on remuneration trends in the market, from which recommendations are made to the Board. It is the Group’s policy that employment contracts are entered into with the CEO and other senior executives. Details of these employment contracts are provided on page 21. Remuneration consists of both fixed and variable remuneration components. The variable remuneration component includes a short term incentive (“STI”) plan and a long term incentive (“LTI”) plan. The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration (potential STI and LTI) is set and approved for each senior executive by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Fixed annual remuneration Objective Remuneration levels for executives are reviewed annually to ensure that they are appropriate for the responsibilities, qualifications and experience of each executive and are competitive with the market. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee establishes and issues an appropriate guideline for the purpose of the annual review of fixed annual remuneration levels. The guideline is based on both current and forecast Consumer Price Index and market conditions. There are no guaranteed fixed remuneration increases in any executives’ contracts. Structure Executives have the option to receive their fixed annual remuneration in cash and a limited range of prescribed fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and car parking. Fixed annual remuneration includes superannuation and all prescribed fringe benefits, including fringe benefits tax. Variable remuneration – STI Objective The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level to provide sufficient incentive to the executive to achieve the operational targets and such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances. Structure Actual STI payments to each executive are determined based on the extent to which specific operating targets, set at the beginning of the year, are met. The operational targets consist of a number of KPIs covering both financial and non-financial measures of performance. Typically, KPIs and assessment criteria include: • meeting of pre-determined growth in Group earnings over the prior year; • meeting of strategic and operational objectives; and • assessed personal effort and contribution. The Group has pre-determined benchmarks which must be met in order to trigger payments under the STI. The measures were chosen to directly align the individual’s STI to the KPIs of the Group and to its strategies and performance. 18 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Structure (continued) On an annual basis, an earnings performance rating for the Group and each division is assessed and approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The individual performance of each executive is also assessed and rated and the ratings are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the STI to be allocated to each executive. The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Group is subject to the approval of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. STI payments are delivered as a cash bonus. For the CEO and other executive KMP, the general target bonus opportunity range is from 50% to 80% of fixed annual remuneration. The target bonus range for the CEO and other executive KMP is detailed below: Maximum STI calculated on fixed annual remuneration(a) Group earnings Allocated between: Divisional earnings Special projects Managing Director and CEO JM Hastings (b) Other executive KMP NC Arundel GC Dean MR Duff HR Eberstaller JM Rodgers 80% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 40% 15% 25% 25% 16.7% 15% – 20% – – 16.7% 20% 20% – – 11% 4% – Other KPIs 20% 15% 25% 14% 12.6% 15% (a) Fixed annual remuneration is comprised of base salary, superannuation and benefits provided through salary sacrificing arrangements. (b) The targets set for the CEO’s STI relate to the Group’s performance, the management of current property developments and other business growth targets. These targets may include, for example, the identification of new hotel developments that will provide an acceptable return and fit within the Group’s overall strategic objectives, the delivery of property development projects having regard to timing and budget, and the identification, negotiation and delivery of new cinema sites. The Board considers the specific targets to be commercially sensitive and accordingly further details of these targets have not been disclosed. Bonuses may be paid above these levels at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board, if it is assessed that an exceptional contribution has been made by an executive. There is no separate profit-share plan. Variable remuneration – LTI Objective The objectives of the LTI plan are to: • • • align executive incentives with shareholder interests; balance the short term with the long term Group focus; and retain high calibre executives by providing an attractive equity-based incentive that builds an ownership of the Group mindset. Structure Executives are awarded performance rights which will only vest on the achievement of certain performance hurdles and service conditions. An offer is made under the Executive Performance Rights Plan to executives each financial year and is based on individual performance as assessed by the annual appraisal process. If an executive does not sustain a consistent level of high performance, they will not be nominated for Executive Performance Rights Plan participation. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews details of executives nominated for participation subject to final Board approval. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, approval from shareholders is obtained before participation in the Executive Performance Rights Plan commences for the CEO. Only executives who are able to directly influence the long term success of the Group participate in the Executive Performance Rights Plan. 19 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Structure (continued) Each award of performance rights is divided into equal portions, with each portion being subject to a different performance hurdle. The performance hurdles are based on earnings per share (“EPS”) growth and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) of EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited as determined by the Board over a three year period (“Performance Period”). The extent to which the performance hurdles have been met will be assessed by the Board at the expiry of the Performance Period. Performance rights do not carry the right to vote or to receive dividends during the Performance Period. The performance hurdles for the awards of performance rights to executives in the financial year ended 30 June 2018 are based on EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited’s EPS growth and relative TSR performance over the Performance Period of the three years to 30 June 2020, with EPS performance measured against the year ended 30 June 2017 (being the base year). The performance hurdles for the awards of performance rights to executives in the financial year ended 30 June 2018 are as follows: EPS hurdle The EPS hurdle requires that the Group’s EPS growth for the Performance Period must be greater than the target set by the Board. The EPS hurdle was chosen as it provides evidence of the Group’s growth in earnings. The hurdle is as follows: • if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is less than 4%, no performance rights will vest with the executive; if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 4% but less than 6%, the proportion of performance rights vesting will be increased on a pro-rata basis between 50% and 100%; or if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 6%, all of the performance rights awarded (and attaching to this hurdle) will vest with the executive. • • TSR hurdle The TSR hurdle requires that the Group’s relative TSR performance must be above the median of the Company’s comparator group (“comparator group”). The comparator group is the S&P/ASX 200 (excluding trusts, infrastructure groups and mining companies). TSR is defined as share price growth and dividends paid and reinvested on the ex-dividend date (adjusted for rights, bonus issues and any capital reconstructions) measured from the beginning to the end of the Performance Period. The TSR performance hurdle was chosen as it is widely recognised as one of the best indicators of shareholder value creation. The comparator group for TSR purposes has been chosen as it represents the group with which the Group competes for shareholders’ capital. The hurdle is as follows: • if the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the comparator group over the Performance Period is less than the 51st percentile, no performance rights will vest; if the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the comparator group over the Performance Period is equal to or exceeds the 51st percentile but is less than the 75th percentile, the proportion of performance rights vesting will be increased on a pro-rata basis between 50% and 100%; or if the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the comparator group over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile, all of the performance rights awarded will vest. • • After the Board has assessed the extent to which the above performance hurdles and criteria have been achieved, executives will be allocated ordinary shares equal to the number of vested performance rights held. The Board has retained the discretion to vary the performance hurdles and criteria. Group performance To provide further context on the Group’s performance and returns for shareholders, the following table outlines a 5 year history of key financial metrics: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 Net profit before individually significant items and income tax ($)(a) Dividends per share (cents) Special dividend per share (cents) Share price at year end ($) 183,214,000 52 – 13.39 160,937,000 51 – 13.37 177,914,000 51 – 14.53 152,367,000 45 8 12.54 108,304,000 42 – 9.33 (a) Refer to page 6 in the Directors’ Report for a reconciliation to reported net profit for the year. 20 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Employment contract for the CEO and other executive KMP A summary of the key terms of Ms Hastings’ employment agreement is set out in the table below: Contract term Ms Hastings’ appointment is ongoing, and there is no fixed term. Fixed annual remuneration Effective from 1 July 2018, a remuneration package to the value of $1,450,000 per annum gross, comprising base salary, superannuation and, if applicable, any fringe benefits or additional superannuation contributions. Incentives Ms Hastings is eligible to participate in the Group’s incentive arrangements (including STI and LTI). Ms Hastings is eligible to receive an annual STI bonus payment with a target award of up to 80% of her fixed annual remuneration, subject to the achievement of performance criteria determined by the Board. The maximum award to Ms Hastings under the STI plan is 90% of fixed annual remuneration. Ms Hastings is also eligible to participate in the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The current LTIP is the Performance Rights Plan approved by shareholders at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Subject to any required or appropriate shareholder approval, Ms Hastings’ allocation of performance rights under the LTIP will be determined based on a face value of 90% of the fixed annual remuneration. Termination Either party may terminate the agreement at any time by giving six months’ notice. On termination, the Group may at its discretion make a payment in lieu of all or part of the notice period based on Ms Hastings’ fixed annual remuneration at the time of the notice of termination. Ms Hastings may terminate immediately if there is a fundamental change in her responsibilities or authority without her consent. In that case, Ms Hastings is entitled to a payment equivalent to six months’ fixed annual remuneration. The Group may terminate the agreement immediately in circumstances of misconduct, or if Ms Hastings breaches any material term of the agreement, in which case there is no payment in lieu of notice. Restraint The agreement contains non-solicitation and other restraints that apply for a restriction period of up to 12 months. Ms Hastings may receive a restraint payment for some or all of the restriction period, calculated based on her fixed annual remuneration at the termination date. The CEO’s contract provides for an annual review of the CEO’s fixed annual remuneration and maximum incentive opportunities. Employment contracts typically outline the components of remuneration paid to the CEO and other senior executives but do not prescribe how remuneration levels are to be modified from year to year. Generally, remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into account Consumer Price Index changes, remuneration trends in the market, any change in the scope of the role performed by the executive and any changes required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy. Termination provisions in the employment contracts with other executive KMP are summarised in the table below: Termination by the executive The notice period is one month. Executive NC Arundel GC Dean MR Duff HR Eberstaller JM Rodgers Expiry date of contract Not applicable, rolling contracts. Termination by the Group The notice period is one month. On termination, the Group may make a payment in lieu of notice, equal to the notice period. The Group retains the right to terminate the contract immediately under certain conditions. On termination, the executive is entitled to accrued annual and long service benefits. There are no other termination payments. Payment of any LTI (or pro-rata thereof) is subject to the rules in operation at the termination date and at the discretion of the Board. 21 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Use of remuneration consultants During the year, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee employed the services of Godfrey Remuneration Group Pty Limited (“GRG”) to provide a minor update to previous advice relating to the Group’s LTI arrangements. Under the terms of the engagement, GRG provided remuneration recommendations as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001 and was paid $5,000 for these services. No other services or advice were provided by GRG during the year. GRG has confirmed all recommendations have been made free from undue influence by members of the Group’s KMP. The following arrangements were made to ensure that the remuneration recommendations were free from undue influence: • GRG was engaged by, and reported directly to, the Chairman of the Board. The agreement for the provision of remuneration consulting services was executed by the Chairman on behalf of the Board; the report containing the remuneration recommendations was provided by GRG directly to the Chairman; and GRG was not required to speak to management in relation to the engagement and did not provide any member of management with a copy of their draft or final report that contained the remuneration recommendations. • • As a consequence, the Board is satisfied that the recommendations were made free from undue influence from any members of the KMP.

E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N This section explains the basis of preparation for the Group’s financial statements, including information regarding the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards. 1.1 – REPORTING ENTITY EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited (“Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2018 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates, joint ventures and joint operations. EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited is a for-profit company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares. The shares are publicly traded on the ASX. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in Note 2.2. The financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited on 23 August 2018. 1.2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION Statement of compliance The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. Basis of measurement The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the Statement of Financial Position which are measured at fair value: derivative financial instruments, financial assets classified as available- for-sale, liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments and investment properties. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount, and fair value less costs to sell. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with the Instrument, amounts in the financial report and Directors’ Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of a financial report in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods if affected. Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs that have a significant effect on the financial report are discussed in note 3.3 (Property, plant and equipment) and 3.5 (Goodwill and other intangible assets). Measurement of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows: • • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). • 36 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N 1.2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Notes 3.3 (Property, plant and equipment), 3.4 (Investment properties) and 4.5 (Financial risk management). 1.3 – FOREIGN CURRENCY Functional and presentation currency All amounts are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is Australian dollars. Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year end date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. Financial statements of foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the foreign currency translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture whilst retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Net investment in foreign operations Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and the effective portion of related hedges, are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. They are released to profit or loss as an adjustment to profit or loss on disposal. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. 1.4 – NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for: • • • AASB 9 Financial Instruments; AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and AASB 16 Leases. 37 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N 1.4 – NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED (continued) AASB 9 Financial Instruments The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the amounts recognised in the Group’s financial statements. However, the new standard introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation which will change the nature and extent of the Group’s disclosures regarding its financial instruments in the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2019. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard will be effective for the Group’s financial statements with effect from 1 July 2018 and will have the following impacts on the Group’s revenue: • Revenue from gift cards that are not redeemed by customers (“breakage”) is required to be estimated and recognised when the gift cards are sold based on historical patterns of redemption by customers. The Group currently recognises breakage only when gift cards expire. This will have the effect of decreasing the Group’s deferred revenue balance at 1 July 2018. The determination of the fair value of points earned by customers in the Group’s loyalty programs will change under AASB 15 as a result of specific guidance on the methodology required to be used in this calculation. This will have the effect of increasing the Group’s deferred revenue balance at 1 July 2018. Contract acquisition costs related to hotel management agreements will be recognised over the term of the contracts as a reduction in revenue instead of as amortisation expense, with no net effect on the Group’s profit or loss or net asset position. • • The Group has assessed the estimated impact that the initial application of AASB 15 will have on its financial statements and determined that the cumulative effect on adoption at 1 July 2018 will not be significant. AASB 15 allows entities to apply certain transitional provisions on initial adoption of this standard. The Group has determined to apply the cumulative effect adjustment approach to adoption of the standard and consequently there will be no restatement of 30 June 2018 comparative information in the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2019. AASB 16 Leases This standard will have a material impact on the Group’s accounting for operating leases. The Group has extensive operating lease arrangements, details of which are disclosed in Notes 5.3 and 7.1 in accordance with AASB 117 Leases. The new standard requires the recognition of a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for each operating lease, with certain limited exceptions. Rental expense will no longer be recognised in respect of operating leases. Instead, the ROU asset will be depreciated over the lease term, whilst interest expense will be incurred in respect of the lease liability. These changes will have the effect of materially increasing the Group’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, and materially increasing the Group’s depreciation and interest expenditure, whilst also potentially having a material impact on net profit after tax, which will vary from year to year, and has yet to be quantified by the Group. AASB 16 allows entities to apply certain transitional provisions on initial adoption of the standard. The Group has determined to apply the modified retrospective transition approach to adoption of the standard and consequently the date of initial application will be 1 July 2019. Under the transitional provisions, the Group is required to determine the discount rate for each lease at 1 July 2019. The calculation of the impact on the Group’s financial statements is materially sensitive to the discount rate used for each lease and consequently it is not yet possible to quantify the impact of AASB 16. The Group’s transition project is well advanced and the Group will be in a position to quantify the impact once the discount rate at 1 July 2019 is determined. The expected quantitative impact of adoption of AASB 16 will be disclosed in the Group’s financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2019. 38 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report • • • N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 2 – P E R F O R M A N C E F O R T H E Y E A R This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group. On the following pages are disclosures explaining the Group’s revenue, segment reporting, individually significant items, taxation and earnings per share. 2.1 – REVENUE Accounting policy Revenue represents the total amount received or receivable, usually in cash, for goods sold or services provided to customers and excludes sales related taxes, discounts and intra-Group transactions. Revenue recognition criteria for the Group’s key classes of revenue are as follows: Rendering of services • Box office ticket revenue is recognised on the date the customer views the relevant film. When tickets are sold in advance or gift cards are sold to customers, this revenue is recorded as deferred revenue in the Statement of Financial Position until this date or expiry, whichever is earlier; Hotel room revenue is recognised when the room is occupied; and Ski pass revenue is recognised as the customer uses the service. For season and other passes, revenue is recorded as deferred revenue in the Statement of Financial Position initially and is then recognised over the period that the pass is valid. The Group also operates loyalty programs in its cinema exhibition and hotel businesses where customers earn points when they purchase cinema tickets or stay at a qualifying hotel. These points can be redeemed by the customer at a later date for discounts on future purchases. The consideration received from the customer who is a member of the loyalty program is allocated at the point of sale between the award points earned and the respective box office or hotel room revenue. This is the fair value of the points, which is adjusted to take into account the expected rates of forfeiture, and is recognised in deferred revenue in the Statement of Financial Position. The awards revenue is then recognised when the points are redeemed or expire, whichever is earlier. Sale of goods • Other revenue and income • • Merchandise (including food and beverages) is recognised at the point of sale. Rental revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease; Management and consulting fees are earned from hotels managed by the Group, usually under long term contracts with the hotel owner; and Other revenue, including interest, dividends and profit on disposal of non-current assets, is recognised in the period to which it relates.

All segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to a segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment, before individually significant items, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate head office assets, head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities. Additions to non-current segment assets are the total cost incurred during the period to acquire assets that include amounts expected to be recovered over more than 12 months after the year end date. Amounts include property, plant and equipment, but exclude financial instruments and deferred tax assets. Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s reporting segments. These are the Group’s main strategic business segments and have differing risks and rewards associated with the business due to their different product or service and geographic markets. For each of these operating segments, the Group’s CEO regularly reviews internal management reports. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax as included in the internal management reports. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of segments relative to those of other businesses. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise interest bearing loans and borrowings and borrowing costs, interest income and corporate head office assets and expenses. Operating segments The Group comprises the following main operating segments: Entertainment Australia Includes the cinema exhibition operations in Australia, technology equipment supply and servicing, and the State Theatre. Entertainment New Zealand Includes cinema exhibition operations in New Zealand. Entertainment Germany Includes the cinema exhibition operations in Germany. Hotels and Resorts Includes the ownership, operation and management of hotels in Australia and overseas. Thredbo Alpine Resort Includes all the operations of the resort including property development activities. Property and Other Investments Includes property rental, investment properties and available-for-sale financial assets. Geographical information Also presented is information on the Group’s split of revenue and non-current assets by geographic location. Geographic revenue is based on the geographical location of customers. Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the assets. The Group operates in Australia, New Zealand and Germany. 40 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report 9 9 5 7 2 0 6 4 , 5 8 7 2 4 8 2 , , 1 8 3 7 9 8 2 , , 1 8 6 2 , 2 6 3 0 , 5 0 2 4 0 3 , 7 0 2 ) 4 3 0 , 7 1 ( ) 6 5 0 , 7 ( ) 3 7 6 , 7 1 ( 1 4 5 , 5 6 1 ) 1 3 6 , 3 5 ( 0 1 9 , 1 1 1 ) 2 6 8 , 7 7 ( ) 5 2 5 , 8 1 ( ) 7 8 3 , 6 9 ( 0 0 0 ’ $ d e t a d i l o s n o C 0 0 0 ’ $ r e h t O s t n e m t s e v n I i e n p A l 0 0 0 ’ $ t r o s e R d n a y t r e p o r P o b d e r h T 0 0 0 ’ $ s t r o s e R d n a s l e t o H 0 0 0 ’ $ y n a m r e G 0 0 0 ’ $ l d n a a e Z w e N i t n e m n a t r e t n E 0 0 0 ’ $ a i l a r t s u A 2 5 6 3 8 2 , , 1 6 7 7 , 3 2 1 7 9 , 2 7 3 9 0 , 7 3 3 3 8 3 , 7 0 3 8 0 3 , 7 8 1 2 1 , 5 5 4 8 1 0 2 E N U J 0 3 D E D N E R A E Y E H T R O F S T N E M E T A T S L A I C N A N I F E H T O T S E T O N R A E Y E H T R O F E C N A M R O F R E P – 2 N O I T C E S – 8 2 5 , 6 1 8 2 5 , 6 1 – 8 3 8 , 1 2 8 3 8 , 1 2 1 7 4 9 9 7 , 8 6 0 7 2 , 9 6 7 2 4 , 8 1 1 9 4 , 1 8 1 9 , 9 1 – 0 5 1 , 1 1 0 5 1 , 1 1 6 0 3 4 9 2 , 8 6 0 0 6 , 8 6 s m e t i t n a c i f i n g i s y l l a u d i v i d n i e r o f e b e m o c n i r e h t o d n a e u n e v e R s m e t i t n a c i f i n g i s y l l a u d i v i d n I e m o c n i r e h t o d n a e u n e v e R ) d e u n i t n o c ( G N I T R O P E R T N E M G E S – 2 . 2 e m o c n i r e h t o d n a e u n e v e R e u n e v e r t n e m g e s l a n r e t x E e u n e v e r e c n a n F i s t n e m g e s g n i t a r e p O 8 1 0 2 e u n e v e r d e t a c o l l a n u r e h t O s m e t i t n a c i f i n g i s y l l a u d i v i d n i e r o f e b t l u s e r t n e m g e s l a t o T s e e t s e v n i d e t n u o c c a y t i u q e f o t i f o r p t e n f o e r a h S s e s n e p x e d n a e u n e v e r d e t a c o l l a n U s t s o c e c n a n i f t e N s m e t i t n a c i f i n g i s y l l a u d i v i d n I s m e t i t n a c i f i n g i s y l l a u d i v i d n i e r o f e b t l u s e r t n e m g e S t l u s e R – ) 4 9 9 , 2 ( ) 4 9 9 , 2 ( – ) 7 6 8 , 3 ( ) 7 6 8 , 3 ( ) 4 5 9 ( ) 5 1 9 , 6 2 ( ) 9 6 8 , 7 2 ( ) 8 8 9 , 0 1 ( ) 1 7 0 , 3 ( ) 9 5 0 , 4 1 ( – ) 8 6 8 , 5 ( ) 8 6 8 , 5 ( ) 0 3 2 , 7 2 ( ) 0 0 5 , 4 1 ( ) 0 3 7 , 1 4 ( ) s n w o d -

Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The Company and its Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries are part of a tax consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the tax consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited is the head entity within the tax consolidated group. Deferred tax Deferred tax arises due to certain temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and those for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: • • taxable temporary differences on the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business combination; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. • Deferred tax assets and liabilities are disclosed net to the extent that they relate to taxes levied by the same authority and the Group has the right of set off. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to utilise the temporary difference. The Group has unrecognised deferred tax assets in respect of certain foreign tax revenue losses as disclosed on page 47. The utilisation of the tax revenue losses is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable profits within the applicable foreign tax entities and a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is supported by sufficient forecast taxable profits. Assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable profits relevant to those foreign tax entities has been based upon management’s budget estimates and forecasts. Management considers that the forecast of taxable profits for the applicable foreign tax entities is subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, the Group has not recognised all of the losses as a deferred tax asset. 45 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 2 – P E R F O R M A N C E F O R T H E Y E A R 2.4 – TAXATION (continued) Income tax expense The major components of income tax expense are: 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 Income tax recognised in profit or loss 53,631 46,502 Current income tax Current income tax expense Income tax under/(over) provided in prior year Deferred income tax Relating to origination and reversal of temporary differences Income tax expense reported in the Income Statement Income tax (credited)/charged directly in equity Deferred income tax related to items (credited)/charged directly in equity: Relating to other comprehensive income Effective portion of changes in fair value of cash flow hedges Unrealised loss/(gain) on available-for-sale financial assets Currency translation movements of deferred tax balances of foreign operations Net (gain)/loss on hedge of net investment in overseas subsidiaries Income tax benefit reported in equity Reconciliation between income tax expense and pre-tax profit A reconciliation between income tax expense and accounting profit before income tax multiplied by the Group’s applicable income tax rate is as follows: 49,696 780 3,155 53,631 4 299 (727) (1,622) (2,046) 49,958 (1,908) (1,548) 46,502 (4) (42) (373) 32 (387) Accounting profit before income tax expense 165,541 157,321 Prima facie income tax expense calculated at the Group’s statutory income tax rate of 30% (2017: 30%) on accounting profit 49,662 47,196 Increase/(decrease) in income tax expense due to: Impairment write-down of land and buildings Non-deductible items and losses in non-resident controlled entities Amortisation of management rights and other intangible assets Tax losses from prior years now recognised or utilised Depreciation and amortisation of buildings Other Decrease in income tax expense due to: Share of incorporated joint venture net profit Non-assessable profit on disposal of interest in the Fiji Cinema Joint Venture Other Income tax under/(over) provided in prior year 1,632 1,421 914 39 472 152 4,630 842 – 599 1,441 780 53,631 1,057 1,757 936 (523) 404 542 4,173 969 212 1,778 2,959 (1,908) 46,502 46 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 2 – P E R F O R M A N C E F O R T H E Y E A R 2.4 – TAXATION (continued) Unrecognised deferred tax assets Revenue losses – foreign 2018 $’000 2,487 2,487 2017 $’000 2,027 2,027 Included in the deferred tax assets not recognised is the gross value of tax revenue losses arising in Germany of $8,290,000 (2017: $6,757,000).

Liabilities relating to the Group’s financing activities are addressed in section 4. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown in Note 2.4. On the following pages, there are sections covering working capital balances, property, plant and equipment, investment properties, intangible assets and provisions. 3.1 – TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value, and subsequently at the amounts considered recoverable (amortised cost). Where the payment terms for the sale of an asset are deferred, the receivable is discounted using the prevailing rate for a similar instrument of an issuer with similar credit terms. The unwinding of the discount is treated as finance revenue. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 90 day terms. The Group’s exposure to credit and foreign exchange risks related to trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note 4.5. Estimates are used in determining the level of receivables that will not be collected, and these estimates take into account factors such as historical experience. Allowances are made for impairment losses when there is sufficient evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. These allowances are made until such time that the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible; at that point, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against the asset directly. The carrying value of trade and other receivables is considered to approximate fair value. Receivables are stated with the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”) or equivalent tax included. Current Trade receivables Less: allowance for trade receivables Other receivables Non-current Other receivables Receivable from associates 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 23,683 (617) 23,066 32,227 55,293 1,000 42 1,042 26,581 (615) 25,966 29,085 55,051 1,476 43 1,519 As at 30 June 2018, trade receivables with a value of $617,000 (2017: $615,000) were impaired and fully provided for. The movement in the allowance is not considered material. As at 30 June 2018, trade receivables for the Group that were past due but not impaired were $4,533,000 (2017: $4,048,000), of which $3,113,000 (2017: $2,112,000) was less than 30 days overdue. The remainder is not considered material and consequently an ageing analysis has not been provided. Other current receivables of $32,227,000 (2017: $29,085,000) do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these other receivables, it is expected that these amounts will be recovered when due. 49 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.2 – INVENTORIES Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work in progress is valued at cost. Cost is based on the first-in-first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in bringing inventories to their existing condition and location. 3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are the physical assets used by the Group to generate revenue and profit. These assets include land and buildings, and plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost (which is the amount initially paid for them) less accumulated depreciation (the estimate of annual wear and tear) and impairment losses. The Group leases properties in the normal course of business, principally to conduct its cinema exhibition businesses. On inception of a lease, the estimated cost of decommissioning any additions to these properties (known as leasehold improvements) is included within property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the lease term. A corresponding provision is set up as disclosed in Note 3.7. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for separately. Depreciation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life. The major categories of property, plant and equipment are depreciated as follows: • • • • plant and equipment buildings and improvements subject to long term leases Shorter of estimated useful life and term of lease; freehold buildings resort apartments and share of common property 40 – 80 years; and 40 – 80 years. 3 – 20 years; Freehold land and land subject to long term leases are not depreciated. Similarly, assets under construction (classified as capital work in progress) are not depreciated until they come into use, when they are transferred to buildings or plant and equipment as appropriate. Impairment of property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Indicators of impairment may include changes in technology and business performance. The process of impairment testing is to estimate the recoverable amount of the assets concerned, and recognise an impairment loss in the Income Statement whenever the carrying amount of those assets exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment is performed at an individual hotel or cinema site level, with the exception of cinema sites within a single geographic location, which are tested as one cash-generating unit. Details regarding impairment testing performed at 30 June 2018 is set out below. 50 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report 8 1 0 2 E N U J 0 3 D E D N E R A E Y E H T R O F S T

valuations of interest in land and buildings In assessing current values for the Group’s interest in land and buildings and integral plant and equipment, including long term leasehold land and improvements, the directors have relied in most cases upon independent valuations from registered qualified valuers or management value in use calculations. Except for investment properties, which are revalued every half year (refer to Note 3.4), valuations are generally carried out on a progressive three year cycle. The last valuations were completed as at June 2018 and June 2016. Measurement of fair values Amounts disclosed below represent the fair value of the Group’s interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties, as determined at the time of the most recent independent valuation report. Independent registered qualified valuers are engaged to perform the valuations. The values are determined based on the highest and best use of each property. In most cases, the existing use is the highest and best use and values are determined on a going concern basis. For certain properties, the highest and best use may differ from the current use, and consideration may be given to the development of such properties at an appropriate time in the future in order to realise the full value of the property. This fair value disclosure has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used. Going concern value is based on capitalisation and discounted cash flow methodologies, and significant unobservable inputs include the forecast net income for each property, and the capitalisation and discount rates used in determining fair value. In the most recent valuations, capitalisation rates utilised ranged from 4.75% to 12.25% and pre-tax discount rates utilised ranged from 6.5% to 13.75% per annum. For certain sites where the going concern value was not the highest and best use, fair value was determined using a direct comparison methodology with reference to recent sales of similar properties. The fair values determined by the independent registered qualified valuers are sensitive to changes in these significant unobservable inputs. However, overall the fair value of the Group’s interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties, is significantly higher than the book value of these interests as noted below. Most recent valuations of interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties A summary of recent independent valuations, by year of the last valuation, is set out as follows: Existing use is highest and best use Independent valuation – 2018 – 2016 – 2015 Alternate use is highest and best use Independent valuation – 2018 – 2015 Land and buildings not independently valued Book value of land and buildings not independently valued 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 1,367,255 206,580 – 1,573,835 101,707 – – 474,326 576,110 1,050,436 – 75,600 287,758 1,963,300 389,626 1,515,662 The book value of the above interests at 30 June 2018 was $1,118,029,000 (2017: $1,044,822,000). The written-down book value of plant and equipment which is deemed integral to land and buildings, has been determined to total approximately $134,917,000 as at 30 June 2018 (2017: $139,857,000). The above valuations do not take into account the potential impact of capital gains tax. 52 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) Impairment considerations at 30 June 2018 Hotel properties are treated as separate cash-generating units and their recoverable values were based upon the independent valuations from registered qualified valuers at 30 June 2018, using the valuation parameters outlined above. The independent valuations were compared to the carrying amount of hotel properties and, as a result of these assessments, no impairment losses (2017: $10,986,000) were recognised in respect of hotel properties. For hotels that had been subject to impairments in previous years, the trading performance and recoverable amount were also reviewed during the year. As a result of the review, there were no impairment charges (2017: nil) booked in previous years, that were required to be reversed in the year. The trading performance of certain cinema sites caused the Group to assess their recoverable amount. Cinema sites are treated as separate cash-generating units, with the exception of cinema sites within a single geographic location, which are tested as one cash-generating unit. The recoverable values for each cinema site under review was based upon the independent valuations from registered qualified valuers at 30 June 2018, using the valuation parameters outlined above. Impairment losses totalling $13,112,000 (2017: nil) were recorded as a result of this assessment.

Initially, investment properties are measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Property that is being constructed or redeveloped for future use as an investment property is also measured at fair value (unless a fair value cannot be reliably determined). When the use of a property changes from owner occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as an investment property. Any difference at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the property immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly to the investment property revaluation reserve if it is an increase and to profit or loss if it is a decrease. A gain may be recognised to profit on remeasurement only to the extent it reverses a previous impairment loss on the property. Subsequent transfers from investment property to property, plant and equipment or inventories occur when there is a change in use of the property, usually evidenced by commencement of redevelopment for own use. Investment properties are derecognised when they have either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on derecognition of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition. Fair value of investment properties Investment properties are independently revalued to fair value each reporting period, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement being recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of investment property has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. In assessing the fair value of investment properties, a number of assumptions are made at the end of each reporting period regarding future cash flows, future property market economic conditions and other factors including cash flow discount rates, rental capitalisation rates, and recent market transactions for similar properties. The carrying amount of investment properties is the fair value of the properties as determined by an independent registered qualified valuer. The significant unobservable inputs used by the valuer in determining the fair value of the investment properties held by the Group at 30 June 2018 included capitalisation rates on reversionary rental yields in the range of 6.25% to 7.25% (2017: 6.75% to 8.50%). Investment properties comprise a number of commercial properties that are leased to third parties and which are held to derive rental income or capital appreciation or both. Each of the leases for investment properties contains an initial non-cancellable period of between five and 15 years. Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee. No contingent rents are charged for these investment properties. During the year ended 30 June 2018, $6,004,000 (2017: $6,494,000) was recognised as rental income for investment properties in the Income Statement, with $1,645,000 (2017: $1,377,000) incurred in respect of direct costs, including $243,000 (2017: $145,000) for repairs and maintenance.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised, but instead is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, and impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. The carrying amount of goodwill in respect of associates and joint ventures is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate or joint venture. Construction rights Construction rights relate to the Group’s ability to develop accommodation in the Thredbo Alpine Resort. Construction rights are recognised at cost and are derecognised as the rights are either sold or developed. The carrying value of construction rights is reviewed annually. Any amounts no longer considered recoverable are written off, with the impairment loss recorded in profit or loss. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets, which largely comprise management and leasehold rights and software, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Management and leasehold rights are amortised over the life of the agreements, which range from 10 to 20 years, on a straight-line basis. Software for major operating systems is amortised over a four to five year period on a straight-line basis. Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than investment properties (see Note 3.4), are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. The recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell, and their value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying value of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro-rata basis. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless the asset or its cash-generating unit has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of the previous revaluation, with any excess recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 55 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.5 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) Reconciliations Summaries of the carrying amount movements of each class of intangible assets between the beginning and end of the year are set out below: Goodwill $’000 Construction rights $’000 Liquor licences $’000 Management and leasehold rights $’000 Software $’000 Total $’000 2018 Gross balance at the beginning of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the beginning of the year Net balance at the beginning of the year Acquisitions and initial contributions Transfers Amortisation and impairment Disposals Net foreign currency differences on translation of foreign operations Net balance at the end of the year Gross balance at the end of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the end of the year Net balance at the end of the year 2017 Gross balance at the beginning of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the beginning of the year Net balance at the beginning of the year Acquisitions and initial contributions Transfers Amortisation Disposals Net foreign currency differences on translation of foreign operations Net balance at the end of the year Gross balance at the end of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the end of the year Net balance at the end of the year 63,472 – 63,472 – – (954) – (500) 62,018 62,018 – 62,018 62,079 – 62,079 3,593 – – (2,164) (36) 63,472 63,472 – 63,472 1,388 – 1,388 – – – – – 1,388 1,388 – 1,388 1,388 – 1,388 – – – – – 1,388 1,388 – 1,388 196 – 196 – – – – – 196 196 – 196 196 – 196 – – – – – 196 196 – 196 59,154 14,210 138,420 (19,879) 39,275 2,440 – (8,164) – (286) 33,265 (9,642) 4,568 1,656 137 (2,068) (2) (29,521) 108,899 4,096 137 (11,186) (2) 165 4,456 (621) 101,323 60,340 15,054 138,996 (27,075) 33,265 (10,598) 4,456 (37,673) 101,323 54,368 15,055 133,086 (17,067) 37,301 5,712 – (3,684) – (54) 39,275 (9,424) 5,631 1,117 146 (2,114) (43) (26,491) 106,595 10,422 146 (5,798) (2,207) (169) 4,568 (259) 108,899 59,154 14,210 138,420 (19,879) 39,275 (9,642) 4,568 (29,521) 108,899 Impairment losses recognised Impairment losses in relation to goodwill, management and leasehold rights totalling $5,413,000 were recognised during the year ended 30 June 2018.

This calculation uses cash flow projections based on operating forecasts and projected five year results, with cash flows beyond the five year period being projected using a per annum growth rate of 2.5%, which is considered appropriate given economic indicators and the expected long term increase in revenue and operating costs in these markets. Pre-tax discount rates of 8.18% to 12.0% (2017: 7.86% to 12.0%) per annum have been used in discounting the projected cash flows. In management’s assessment, there are no reasonable possible changes in assumptions that would give rise to an impairment. 3.6 – TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Trade payables are normally non-interest bearing and settled within 30 days. Payables are stated with the amount of GST or equivalent tax included. The carrying value of trade and other payables is considered to approximate fair value.

The provision is calculated as the present value of the Group’s net obligation to pay such benefits resulting from the employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. The provisions due or available to be settled within 12 months have been calculated at undiscounted amounts based on the remuneration rates the employer expects to pay after the reporting date and includes related on-costs. The liability for employees’ benefits to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. Liabilities for employee benefits which are not due to be settled within 12 months are discounted using the rates attaching to national government securities at reporting date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. In determining the liability for employee benefits, consideration has been given to future increases in wage and salary rates, and the Group’s experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also been included in the liability. Insurance loss contingencies and other claims The insurance loss contingencies and other claims provision relates to estimated costs to be incurred in respect of various claims that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date. Decommissioning of leasehold improvements A provision for the estimated cost of decommissioning leasehold improvements is made where a legal or constructive obligation exists. In determining the provision for decommissioning costs, an assessment is made for each location of the likelihood and amount of the decommissioning costs to be incurred in the future. The estimated future liability is discounted to a present value, with the discount amount unwinding over the life of the leasehold asset as a finance cost in profit or loss. The estimated decommissioning cost recognised as a provision is included as part of the cost of the leasehold improvements at the time of installation or during the term of the lease, as the liability for decommissioning is reassessed. This amount capitalised is then depreciated over the life of the asset. 57 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.7 – PROVISIONS (continued) Decommissioning of leasehold improvements (continued) The decommissioning of leasehold improvements provision has been raised in respect of “make-good” obligations under long term lease contracts for various cinema sites. In determining the provision, an assessment has been made, for each location, of the likelihood that a decommissioning cost will be incurred in the future and, where applicable, the level of costs to be incurred. Uncertainty exists in estimating the level of costs to be incurred in the future because of the long term nature of cinema leases. The basis of accounting is set out in Note 3.3. Other Other provisions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

On the following pages, there are sections on the Group’s share capital, dividends, reserves, loans and borrowings, and financial risk management. 4.1 – SHARE CAPITAL Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands, every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. 2018 Shares 2017 Shares 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 Share capital Fully paid ordinary shares 160,560,596 159,488,932 219,126 219,126 Movements in share capital Balance at the beginning of the year Share capital issued pursuant to the Executive Performance Rights Plan for nil consideration Performance shares exercised and withdrawn from the trust Balance at the end of the year 159,488,932 158,732,489 219,126 219,126 343,973 727,691 160,560,596 – 756,443 159,488,932 – – 219,126 – – 219,126 Share capital consists of: Ordinary shares Tax Exempt Share Plan shares Employee Share Plan shares Treasury shares Performance shares 160,536,333 24,263 – 160,560,596 159,369,264 27,548 92,120 159,488,932 343,300 160,903,896 1,070,991 160,559,923 Share buy-back There is no current on-market buy-back. Dividend Reinvestment Plan The Dividend Reinvestment Plan was suspended in August 2010. Treasury shares Treasury shares consist of shares held in trust in relation to the Group’s Executive Performance Share Plan. As at 30 June 2018, a total of 343,300 (2017: 1,070,991) shares were held in trust and classified as treasury shares. Information relating to the Group’s share-based payment arrangements is set out in Note 6.1. Options Other than the performance rights disclosed in Note 6.1, there were no share options on issue as at 30 June 2018 (2017: nil). 59 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.1 – SHARE CAPITAL (continued) Capital management The Group manages its capital with the objective of maintaining a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to have the capacity to take advantage of opportunities that will enhance the existing businesses and enable future growth and expansion. The Board monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as operating profit after income tax divided by shareholders’ equity and long term debt. The Board also monitors the Group’s gearing ratio, being net debt divided by shareholders’ equity. It is recognised that the Group operates in business segments in which operating results may be subject to volatility and the Board continuously reviews the capital structure to ensure sufficient: • • • surplus funding capacity is available; funds are available for capital expenditure and to implement longer term business development strategies; and funds are available to maintain appropriate dividend levels. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. No Group entity is subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 4.2 – DIVIDENDS Per share Cents Total amount $’000 Date of payment Tax rate for franking credit Percentage franked Dividends on ordinary shares paid during the year were: 2018 Final 2017 dividend Interim 2018 dividend 2017 Final 2016 dividend Interim 2017 dividend 31 21 31 20 49,774 33,790 83,564 49,774 32,112 81,886 21 September 2017 15 March 2018 22 September 2016 16 March 2017 30% 30% 30% 30% 100% 100% 100% 100% Subsequent events Since the end of the year, the directors declared the following dividends: Final 2018 dividend 31 49,880 20 September 2018 30% 100% The financial effect of the final dividend in respect of the year has not been brought to account in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 and will be recognised in subsequent financial statements.

The ability to utilise franking credits is dependent upon the Company being in a sufficient positive net asset position and also having adequate available cash flow liquidity. 60 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.3 – RESERVES Available-for-sale financial assets revaluation reserve This reserve includes the cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets. Amounts are recognised in the Income Statement when the associated assets are sold or impaired. Investment property revaluation reserve This reserve relates to property that has been reclassified as an investment property and represents the cumulative increase in the fair value of the property at the date of reclassification. Hedging reserve This reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred. Share-based payments reserve This reserve includes the cumulative fair value of the executive performance shares and performance rights which have been recognised as an employee expense in the Income Statement. See Note 6.1 for further details regarding share-based payment arrangements. Foreign currency translation reserve This reserve records the foreign currency differences arising from the translation of foreign operations, the translation of transactions that hedge the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation or the translation of foreign currency monetary items forming part of the net investment in a foreign operation and the Group’s share of associates’ increment or decrement in their foreign currency translation reserve.

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows. Loans and borrowings Interest bearing and non-interest bearing loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. The carrying value of loans and borrowings is considered to approximate fair value. Finance costs Finance costs include interest, unwinding of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and lease finance charges. Ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of loans and borrowings are capitalised and amortised over the life of the borrowings. Finance costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take more than 12 months to get ready for their intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is that incurred in relation to that borrowing, net of any interest earned on those borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. $545,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan facility; and $15,000,000 credit support facility (for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantees). Bank debt – secured The Group’s secured bank debt facilities were amended and restated on 15 August 2017 and comprise the following: • • The above facilities mature on 15 August 2020 and are supported by interlocking guarantees from most Group entities and are secured by specific property mortgages. Debt drawn under these facilities bears interest at the relevant inter-bank benchmark reference rate plus a margin of between 1.15% and 2.1% per annum. At 30 June 2018, the Group had drawn $375,540,000 (2017: $323,905,000) under the debt facilities, of which $nil (2017: $nil) was subject to interest rate swaps used for hedging, and had drawn $2,939,000 under the credit support facility (2017: $2,948,000). Other facility – secured Certain wholly-owned German subsidiaries have arranged a secured five year guarantee facility of €17,000,000 (A$26,797,000) (for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantees). The facility is supported by interlocking guarantees from certain (non-Australian based) Group entities and is secured against a specific property in Germany. Debt drawn under the facility bears interest at the relevant inter-bank benchmark rate plus a margin of between 0.75% and 2.75% per annum. At 30 June 2018, the Group had drawn €14,094,000 (A$22,216,000) under the facility. 62 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.4 – LOANS, BORROWINGS AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (continued) Current Interest bearing loans and borrowings Bank loans – secured Deferred financing costs Non-interest bearing loans and borrowings Loans from other companies – unsecured Non-current Interest bearing loans and borrowings Bank loans – secured Deferred financing costs Non-interest bearing loans and borrowings Loans from other companies – unsecured 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 – – – 1,127 1,127 375,540 (1,173) 374,367 1,988 376,355 323,905 (98) 323,807 1,634 325,441 – – – 2,360 2,360 Derivative financial instruments From time to time, the Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks arising from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value within prepayments and other current assets. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their quoted market price at the reporting date, being the present value of the quoted forward price. Available-for-sale financial assets All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as available-for-sale, are measured at fair value. Available-for-sale financial assets comprise marketable equity securities. For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to securities exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business at reporting date. 63 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised as a separate component of equity in the available-for-sale financial assets revaluation reserve until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised in profit or loss in respect of an available-for-sale investment is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the investment’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised. Available-for-sale financial assets Investment in a listed company 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 20,924 19,928 The Group’s investment is in a company listed on the ASX. No reasonably possible change in the share price of this company would have a material effect on the available-for-sale financial assets balance or the related revaluation reserve at the reporting date. Financial risks The Group’s exposure to financial risks, objectives, policies and processes for managing the risks including methods used to measure the risks, and the management of capital are presented below. The Group’s activities expose it to the following financial risks: • • • credit risk; liquidity risk; and market risk, including interest rate and foreign exchange risks. The Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly and modified as appropriate to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Audit and Risk Committee oversees how management has established and monitors internal compliance and control systems and to ensure the appropriate and effective management of the above risks. The Audit and Risk Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the Internal Audit function. The Internal Audit function undertakes reviews of risk management controls and procedures in accordance with an annual plan approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The results of these Internal Audit reviews are reported to the Audit and Risk Committee. Credit risk Credit risk arises from trade and other receivables outstanding, cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. It is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to the financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables. Information regarding the Group’s trade receivable balances is disclosed in Note 3.1. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is not considered material. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was considered to approximate the carrying value of receivables at the reporting date. Investments and derivatives Investments of surplus cash and deposits and derivative financial instruments are with banks with high credit ratings. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. At 30 June 2018, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the Statement of Financial Position. 64 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Guarantees All guarantees are in respect of obligations of subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or joint operations in which the Group has an interest, and principally relate to operating lease arrangements. The Group’s operating lease commitments are disclosed in Note 7.1, and details of guarantees given by the parent entity are provided in Note 7.5. Security deposits Security deposits relate to the Group’s operating lease arrangements. Certain lease agreements require an amount to be placed on deposit, which should then be returned to the Group at the conclusion of the lease term. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group’s treasury function aims to maintain flexibility in funding by maintaining committed credit lines with a number of counterparties. The Group’s financial liabilities The contractual maturities of the Group’s financial liabilities, including interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements, are as follows: Carrying amount $’000 Contractual cash flows $’000 6 months or less $’000 6 to 12 months $’000 1 to 2 year(s) $’000 2 to 5 years $’000 Over 5 years $’000 2018 Non-derivative financial liabilities Secured bank loans Unsecured non-interest bearing loans from other companies Trade payables Other payables and accruals Derivative financial assets Forward exchange contracts 2017 Non-derivative financial liabilities Secured bank loans Unsecured non-interest bearing loans from other companies Trade payables Other payables and accruals Derivative financial liabilities Forward exchange contracts 375,540 (401,869) (6,185) (5,916) (12,792) (376,976) − 3,115 30,759 76,188 (3,115) (30,759) (76,188) (564) (30,759) (76,188) (564) − − (971) − − (763) − − (253) − − (11) 485,591 11 (511,920) 11 (113,685) − (6,480) − (13,763) − (377,739) − (253) 323,905 (325,754) (325,754) − − − 3,994 20,381 86,514 (3,994) (20,381) (86,514) (817) (20,381) (86,514) (817) − − (1,128) − − (1,328) − − 14 434,808 (14) (436,657) (14) (433,480) − (817) − (1,128) − (1,328) − 96 − − − 96 For derivative financial assets and liabilities, maturities detailed in the table above approximate periods that cash flows and the impact on profit or loss are expected to occur. 65 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, whilst optimising the return. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and are not traded or used as speculative instruments. This is carried out under Board approved treasury policies. Hedge of net investment in foreign operations The portion of the gain or loss on an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation, that is determined to be an effective hedge, is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Interest rate risk The Group manages interest rate exposures on borrowings in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy that specifies parameters for hedging including hedging percentages and approved hedging instruments. The policy specifies upper and lower hedging limits set for specific timeframes out to five years. These limits may be varied with the approval of the Board. At reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments was: Fixed rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Variable rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 – – – − − − 87,355 (375,540) (288,185) 83,506 (323,905) (240,399) The Group manages interest rate risk in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy covering the types of instruments, range of protection and duration of instruments. The financial instruments cover interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Maturities of these instruments are up to a maximum of five years. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements allow the Group to raise long term borrowings at floating rates and swap a portion of those borrowings into fixed rates. The approved range of interest rate cover is based on the projected debt levels for each currency and reduced for each future year. There were no interest rate hedges at 30 June 2018 (2017: no interest rate hedges). The Group classifies interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and recognises them at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position. The Group accounts for fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Group had no fixed rate instruments for the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: no fixed rate instruments) and accordingly no sensitivity analysis has been prepared in the current or prior year. Foreign exchange risk The Group is exposed to currency risk on purchases, borrowings and surplus funds that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (“AUD”), but also the New Zealand dollar (“NZD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Great British pound (“GBP”). Transactions undertaken by Group entities are primarily denominated in AUD, NZD, EUR and the US dollar (“USD”). 66 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) The Group manages foreign currency exposures in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy that specifies parameters for hedging, including hedging percentages and approved hedging instruments. At any point in time, the Group hedges up to 60% of “highly probable” foreign currency exposures and 100% of confirmed foreign currency exposures. Typically, foreign currency exposures are hedged with the utilisation of forward exchange contracts. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk in AUD equivalents at the reporting date was as follows, based on notional amounts: Cash and cash equivalents Trade receivables Secured bank loans Trade payables Gross balance sheet exposure Forward exchange contracts 2018 2017 NZD $’000 387 126 (71,540) (298) (71,325) – – EUR $’000 4,956 – – – 4,956 – – GBP $’000 199 – – – 199 – – USD $’000 1,143 – – – 1,143 11 11 NZD $’000 842 108 (81,905) (316) (81,271) – – EUR $’000 4,666 – – – 4,666 – – Net exposure (71,325) 4,956 199 1,154 (81,271) 4,666 GBP $’000 10 – – – 10 – – 10 USD $’000 1,270 – – – 1,270 (14) (14) 1,256 Sensitivity analysis No reasonably possible change in prevailing foreign exchange rates would have a significant impact on the Income Statement or hedging reserve in the current or prior year. Hedging of net investment in foreign subsidiaries The Group’s NZD denominated bank loan is designated as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure to the Group’s net investment in its subsidiaries in New Zealand. The carrying amount of the loan at 30 June 2018 was $71,540,000 (2017: $81,905,000). A foreign exchange gain of $2,838,000 (2017: loss of $25,000) was recognised in equity on translation of the loan to AUD. Financial instruments fair value determination method grading Valuation methods for financial instruments carried at fair value are defined as follows: • • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). • Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. 67 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N This section explains the composition of the Group. On the following pages, there are sections on businesses acquired during the year, a list of subsidiaries, investments in associates and joint ventures, and disclosures regarding interests in other entities including cinema partnership interests. 5.1 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Accounting policy Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the date when control is transferred to the Group. Under the acquisition method, consideration transferred in a business combination is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Consideration transferred includes the fair value of any contingent consideration, and share-based payment awards of the acquiree that are required to be replaced in the business combination. The Group measures goodwill arising from the business combination at the acquisition date as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment (refer to Note 3.5). If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination only if the liability represents a present obligation and arises from past events, and its fair value can be measured. The Group measures any non-controlling interest at its proportionate interest of the fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquiree. Transaction costs incurred by the Group in connection with a business combination, such as due diligence fees, legal fees and other professional costs, are expensed as incurred. Business combination in the year ended 30 June 2018 There were no material business combinations in the year ended 30 June 2018. Business combination in the year ended 30 June 2017 The Group acquired the following businesses during the prior year: Downtown Cinemas Effective 28 July 2016, Event Cinemas Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary in New Zealand, acquired three cinemas in Palmerston North, Paraparaumu and Havelock North, New Zealand. The consideration paid was $7,255,000 (NZ$7,650,000). The Group recognised the fair value of the following identifiable assets and liabilities relating to this acquisition: Plant and equipment Inventories Sub-total Leasehold and management rights Total net value of identifiable assets Fair value at acquisition date $’000 1,762 69 1,831 5,424 7,255 68 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N 5.1 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued) Leasehold and management rights Leasehold and management rights were recognised as a result of the acquisition as follows: Total cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired Less: net value of other identifiable assets and liabilities Leasehold and management rights $’000 7,255 (1,831) 5,424 Leasehold and management rights will be amortised over the remaining term of the lease. Amortisation of leasehold and management rights is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Group incurred direct costs relating to this acquisition of $33,000 which were expensed in the Income Statement for the prior year. The Income Statement included revenue and net profit for the year ended 30 June 2017 of $6,734,000 and $625,000 respectively as a result of this acquisition. Rydges Geelong On 3 March 2017, the Group acquired a hotel property in Geelong in Victoria, Australia. The total consideration paid for the acquisition was $23,994,000. The Group recognised the fair value of the following identifiable assets and liabilities relating to the acquisition: Fair value at acquisition date $’000 Property, plant and equipment Other assets and liabilities Total net value of identifiable assets Goodwill Goodwill was recognised as a result of the acquisition as follows: Total cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired Less: net value of identifiable assets and liabilities Goodwill 20,607 (206) 20,401 $’000 23,994 (20,401) 3,593 The goodwill was attributable mainly to the trading reputation and other intangible assets which were not separately identifiable. Goodwill recognised is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Group incurred direct costs relating to this acquisition of $1,160,000 which were expensed in the Income Statement for the prior year. The Income Statement includes revenue and net loss for the year ended 30 June 2017 of $2,150,000 and $9,000 respectively as a result of this acquisition. Had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the year, it is estimated that the Income Statement would have included additional revenue and net profit of approximately $7,597,000 and $1,465,000 respectively. 69 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N 5.2 – SUBSIDIARIES Accounting policy Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intra-Group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-Group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial report.

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. Interests in associates and joint ventures (see below) are accounted for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Joint arrangements A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control, in which the parties are bound by a contractual arrangement, and the contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. The Group classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the Group’s rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangements. When making this assessment, the Group considers the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. The Group’s interests in joint operations, which are arrangements in which the parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, are accounted for on the basis of the Group’s interest in those assets and liabilities. The Group’s interests in joint ventures, which are arrangements in which the parties have rights to the net assets, are equity accounted.

explains the remuneration of executives and other employees, and transactions with related parties including directors. On the following pages, there are sections on share-based payments, director and executive disclosures and related party transactions. 6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS The Group’s share-based payment arrangements include the Executive Performance Share Plan and the Executive Performance Rights Plan. Grants were made under the Executive Performance Share Plan from 2007 to 2013 inclusive. The Group conducted a review of its long term incentive (“LTI”) arrangements in 2013 and resolved that the existing performance share-based LTI should be replaced with a performance rights-based LTI. Shareholders approved the Executive Performance Rights Plan at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Grants have subsequently been made under the Executive Performance Rights Plan in February 2014, February 2015, February 2016, February 2017 and February 2018. Accounting policy The fair value of performance shares and rights granted under the Executive Performance Share Plan and the Executive Performance Rights Plan is recognised as an employee expense over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to shares in the Company. There is a corresponding increase in equity, being recognition of a share- based payments reserve. The fair value of performance shares and rights granted is measured at grant date. To facilitate the operation of the Executive Performance Share Plan and Executive Performance Rights Plan, a third party trustee is used to administer the trust which holds shares in the Company allocated under the Executive Performance Share Plan or otherwise held or acquired on market in order to satisfy the Group’s future obligations under the Executive Performance Rights Plan. The trust is controlled by the Group and therefore its financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements. The shares in the Group held by the trust are therefore shown as treasury shares (Note 4.1). The Group incurs expenses on behalf of the trust. These expenses are in relation to administration costs of the trust and are recorded in the Income Statement as incurred. Performance shares and performance rights are subject to performance hurdles. The performance shares are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as restricted ordinary shares. Performance shares are included within the weighted average number of shares used as the denominator for determining basic earnings per share and net tangible asset backing per share. Performance rights are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, but are included within the weighted average number of shares issued as the denominator for determining diluted earnings per share. The Group measures the cost of the Executive Performance Share Plan and Executive Performance Rights Plan by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which the instruments are granted. The fair value of performance rights granted is determined by an external valuer using a Monte Carlo simulation model and Binomial tree model using the assumptions detailed below. Executive Performance Rights Plan The establishment of the Executive Performance Rights Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Employees receiving awards under the Executive Performance Rights Plan are those of a senior level and above (including the CEO). An employee awarded performance rights is not legally entitled to shares in the Company before the performance rights under the plan vest, and during the vesting period the performance rights do not carry the right to vote or to receive dividends. Once the rights have vested, which is dependent on the Group achieving its earnings per share (“EPS”) and total shareholder return (“TSR”) targets, participants are issued one ordinary share in the Company for each vested performance right held. Award, vesting and the issue of ordinary shares under the plan are made for no consideration. The performance period is three years. 76 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 6 – E M P L O Y E E B E N E F I T S A N D R E L A T E D P A R T Y T R A N S A C T I O N S 6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued) Set out below are summaries of performance rights awarded under the plan: Type of right Grant date 2018 Balance at the start of the year Granted Exercised Forfeited Performance rights 19 February 2015 632,560 Performance rights 18 February 2016 515,683 Performance rights 16 February 2017 578,240 − − − Performance rights 15 February 2018 − 567,956 (609,054) − − − (23,506) (48,465) (53,895) (23,854) Balance at the end of the year − 467,218 524,345 544,102 1,726,483 567,956 (609,054) (149,720) 1,535,665 2017 Performance rights 20 February 2014 611,269 Performance rights 19 February 2015 663,443 Performance rights 18 February 2016 550,958 − − − Performance rights 16 February 2017 − 581,616 (611,269) − − − − (30,883) (35,275) (3,376) – 632,560 515,683 578,240 1,825,670 581,616 (611,269) (69,534) 1,726,483 Fair value of performance rights granted The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights granted under the Executive Performance Rights Plan during the year ended 30 June 2018 was $11.82 (2017: $11.09) for those rights that have EPS hurdles and $6.80 (2017: $3.92) for those rights that have TSR hurdles. The fair value of each performance right is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial tree model for those rights that have EPS hurdles, and a Monte Carlo simulation model for those rights that have TSR hurdles with the following weighted average assumptions used for each grant: Dividend yield (per annum) Expected volatility Risk-free rate (per annum) Share price Expected life Granted 15 February 2018 Granted 16 February 2017 Granted 18 February 2016 4.0% 20% 2.07% $13.09 3 years 4.2% 19% 1.92% $12.38 3 years 3.4% 19% 1.85% $15.31 3 years The expected life of the performance rights is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. 77 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 6 – E M P L O Y E E B E N E F I T S A N D R E L A T E D P A R T Y T R A N S A C T I O N S 6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued) Executive Performance Share Plan Employees who received awards under the Executive Performance Share Plan were those of a senior level and above (including the CEO). An employee awarded performance shares is not legally entitled to shares in the Company before the performance shares allocated under the plan vest. However, the employee can vote and receive dividends in respect of shares allocated to them. Once the shares have vested, which is dependent on the Group achieving its EPS and TSR targets, they remain in the trust until the earliest of the employee leaving the Group, the seventh anniversary (for grants made from 2010) or the 10th anniversary (for grants made from 2007 to 2009) of the date the performance shares were awarded, or the date the Board approves an application for their release. Award, vesting and exercise under the plan are made for no consideration. The performance period is three years.

The forfeited shares were held within the trust and utilised in settlement of the Group’s obligation under the Executive Performance Rights Plan award on 19 February 2015. No performance shares were granted during the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: nil). Share-based payment expense Total share-based payment expense included within employee expenses for the year ended 30 June 2018 was $2,948,000 (2017: $8,042,000). 78 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 6 – E M P L O Y E E B E N E F I T S A N D R E L A T E D P A R T Y T R A N S A C T I O N S 6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued) Superannuation Group entities contribute to several defined contribution superannuation plans.

From time to time, KMP of the Group, or their related parties, may purchase goods or services from the Group. These purchases are usually on the same terms and conditions as those granted to other Group employees. Where the purchases are on terms and conditions more favourable than those granted to other Group employees, the resulting benefits form part of the total remuneration outlined within the Remuneration Report. 6.3 – RELATED PARTIES Relationships with associates Transactions with associates included the receipt of property rental income from an associate of $60,000 (2017: $57,000).

The leases typically run for periods up to 20 years, with varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal or extension options. The head lease in respect of the Thredbo Village and ski area is for a longer period, being 50 years from 29 June 2007. A small number of leases have commitments in respect of contingent rental payments which arise when the operating performance of a site exceeds a pre-determined amount. Also, there are rentals which are determined as the higher of a base rental and a fixed percentage of a defined amount reflecting the operating performance of a site or a base rental plus a fixed percentage of the net profit from the site. Contingent rental payments recognised as an expense in the period for the Group amounted to $6,005,000 (2017: $6,907,000). Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property. Lease incentives, for example a rent-free period on commencement of a lease, are deferred and recognised over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Deferred lease incentives are recognised within other liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position. Operating lease rental expense (including contingent rent) for the year ended 30 June 2018 was $140,841,000 (2017: $136,516,000). The Group does not have finance lease or hire purchase arrangements either as a lessor or a lessee. Lease commitments for future years are set out below: Operating lease commitments – as lessee Future minimum operating lease rentals not provided for and payable: Within one year Later than one year but not later than five years Later than five years 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 100,748 271,245 228,867 600,860 96,737 279,791 214,146 590,674 The Group receives rental income from a number of properties, both leased and owned. With the exception of sub-leases under the Thredbo head lease, leases are for periods ranging between one to 15 years and have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal or extension options. There are approximately 700 sub-leases under the Thredbo head lease. Thredbo sub-leases consist of long term accommodation sub-leases for holiday apartments, chalets and lodges and also retail premises. Long term accommodation sub-leases are typically for periods mirroring the head lease, which was renewed for a further 50 year period from 29 June 2007. Operating lease rental income for future years is set out below: Sub-lease receivables – as lessor Future lease receivables in relation to sub-leases of property space under operating leases not recognised and receivable: Within one year Later than one year but not later than five years Later than five years Operating leases – as lessor Future operating lease rentals for owned properties not recognised and receivable: Within one year Later than one year but not later than five years Later than five years 81 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2018 Annual Report 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 7,446 29,029 239,164 275,639 16,002 43,067 13,705 72,774 10,654 32,872 238,959 282,485 14,334 49,474 21,689 85,497 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 8 S E C T I O N 7 – O T H E R I N F O R M A T I O N 7.2 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Claims for personal injury The nature of the Group’s operations results in claims for personal injury being received from time to time. The directors believe that the outcome of any current claims outstanding, which are not provided against in the financial statements, will not have a significant impact on the operating result of the Group in future reporting periods. The directors are of the opinion that provisions are not required in respect of these matters, as it is not probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement at balance date. 7.3 – RECONCILIATION OF PROFIT FOR THE YEAR TO NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES Reconciliation of profit for the year to net cash provided by operating activities Profit for the year 111,910 110,819 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 Adjustments for: Depreciation and amortisation Loss/(profit) on sale of non-current assets Impairment adjustments Fair value (increment)/decrement of investment properties Equity accounted investment dividends Share of equity accounted investees’ net profit Share-based payments expense Receivables impairment adjustment Unrealised foreign exchange (gains)/losses Net cash provided by operating activities before change in assets and liabilities Change in assets and liabilities adjusted for effects of consolidation of controlled entities acquired/disposed during the year: Decrease/(increase) in trade and other receivables (Increase)/decrease in inventories Increase in prepayments and other current assets Increase/(decrease) in deferred tax items Increase/(decrease) in income taxes payable Increase in trade and other payables Increase in provisions Increase/(decrease) in other liabilities Increase in deferred revenue Increase in financing costs payable Net cash provided by operating activities 77,862 820 18,525 (5,750) 2,252 (2,268) 2,948 2 (312) 205,989 478 (1,014) (5,996) 2,018 705 1,397 1,595 1,712 664 201 207,749 73,605 (5) 10,986 250 3,692 (2,684) 8,042 (128) 369 204,946 (16,445) 12,307 (1,178) (1,853) (19,009) 7,477 1,573 (1,303) 2,156 10 188,681 Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis.

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: • • giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion The Financial Report comprises: • Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2018 • Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended • Notes including a summary of significant accounting policies • Directors’ Declaration. The Group consists of the Company and the entities it controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the financial year. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Key Audit Matters Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Report of the current period. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. 88 KPMG, an Australian partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Asset valuation – Hotel and Cinema Property, Plant and Equipment Assets Refer to Note 3.3 to the Financial Report ($1,322M) The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit This is a key audit matter due to: Our procedures included: • • the significant value of property, plant and equipment (being 76% of total assets); and the high level of judgement required by us in assessing the significant judgements used by the Group to determine the carrying value of property, plant and equipment. The Group use a combination of external valuation experts and internal analysis to determine asset valuations. • • External valuations were obtained by the Group in the current year for owned hotels. External valuations are based on value in use models. Internal analysis was prepared by the Group to assess for indicators of impairment in Cinema CGUs. Where an indicator of impairment was present the Group prepared value in use models. There are a number of judgements, made by the Group and their external valuation experts when estimating the recoverable value of these assets. Some are more complex as they are dependent on assumptions about the future, such as revenue and cost growth rates, discount rates and terminal growth rates. Examples of specific judgments made in relation to hotel asset valuations include forecasted occupancy and room rates. Examples of specific judgements made in relation to cinema valuation include forecasted ticket and merchandising revenue. For each asset valuation, the geographic location and local economic conditions, such as the continuing decline of mining activity in central Queensland, are also taken into consideration when assessing the carrying value. These forward-looking estimations and the current market conditions increase the range of possible outcomes and the complexity for the audit. • • For external valuations obtained by the Group, we assessed the competency of the valuer. We considered evidence of capability and objectivity along with the nature and scope of work the valuer was engaged by the Group to complete. Evaluating the valuation approach adopted in the value in use models, external and internal, considering the accounting standards and industry practice. • Comparing key amounts in the value in use models, to a combination of board approved budgets and business forecast plans. • Assessing the accuracy of previous forecasting, including cash flows and capital expenditure, to inform our evaluation of forecasts included in the value in use models. We applied increased scepticism to forecasts in areas where previous forecasts were not achieved and/or where future uncertainty is greater, volatility is expected, or specific local conditions are present. • Comparing forecasts with external data, such as forecast tourism visitation and box office scheduling. • Performing sensitivity analysis on those CGU’s with a higher risk of impairment in key areas being the cash flow forecasts, discount rate and terminal growth assumptions. 89 Other Information Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Event Hospitality & Entertainment Limited’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report.
