CONTENTS P. 2 Chairman’s Report P. 6 Managing Director’s Report P. 9 Completed Projects P. 12 Projects Under Construction P. 14 Future Projects P. 21 Investment Properties P. 23 Financial Report chairman’s REPORT Dear Shareholder, It is a great honour to present you with Finbar’s 25th Annual Report as a property development company and to announce its 24th year of consecutive profit. Finbar has this year delivered an after-tax net profit of $7.1 million for the financial year ending June 30th 2020. While market commentary covering the past financial year can not help but factor in and reference the unprecedented impact of a global pandemic, we have been encouraged by improved sales activity since June buoyed by Western Australia’s faster than expected recovery and its strong performance in terms of managing and mitigating COVID-19 related impacts. While it represents a lower than anticipated profit for the period, we believe it remains a significant achievement given the nature of the external environment as a result of COVID-19 and its ongoing impact on buyer behaviour, consumer sentiment and the broader economy. We have managed to successfully preserve our strong balance sheet with no borrowings on development assets as a result of judicious economic management in order to ensure we are better positioned to take advantage of the next upswing in the local market. The pandemic’s impact, which continues to be felt across the globe, comes on top of what was already one of the most challenging periods in the company’s 25 year history and at a stage when many in the industry were beginning to see signs of a clear and sustained recovery in the local market. We are proud to have again delivered shareholders with a profit, albeit less than anticipated in light of the trading conditions, and to have maintained our position as Western Australia’s leading apartment developer with 6402 lots delivered over the course of our 25-year history. The ongoing sound management of the company by its board and management team has seen Finbar retain a strong cash position of $30.6 million despite global uncertainty and ongoing subdued local market activity, and we are buoyed by the pipeline of diverse stock that we are able to offer. Our ability to continue to deliver significant profits at times of global and local uncertainty is a testament to the quality and experience of our team and has placed us in the enviable position of being debt free on all current and completed stock. During the past financial year, Finbar has completed both the low rise Palmyra East and One Kennedy Maylands projects as well as the 167 unit mixed use Sabina project in Applecross with a combined total of 418 units across all projects representing an end value in excess of $223 million. Despite ongoing challenging conditions, the company is nearing construction completion of the 125 unit Riverena Apartments in inner city Rivervale and has commenced construction of the 128 unit development in Dianella. The company is expected to commence construction on the landmark Civic Heart project in South Perth and AT238 on Adelaide Terrace in the 2020/2021 financial year. Over the course of the last financial year we have sold 200 units across all of our projects with an end value of $109.3 million which again, represents a significant achievement during a period in which we have had to manage the impact of a global pandemic on significant buying decisions and ongoing instability in financial markets as a result. JOHN CHAN Message from The Chairman 2 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Our track record and reputation for delivering complex projects on time and on budget, and the ongoing strength of our commercial relationships has also underpinned our ability to deliver consecutive profits in the face of considerable external pressures. The completion of the 30 level Sabina apartment project in March this year, with an average unit price of more than $700,000, marked a significant milestone for the company and was the largest contributor to second half results for the financial year. Located in the growing Canning Bridge precinct, the key driver for sales continues to be demand from owner occupiers largely drawn from within a five-kilometre radius of its location and with significant sales also attributed to the slowly returning investor market. Our track record and reputation for delivering complex projects on time and on budget, and the ongoing strength of our commercial relationships has also underpinned our ability to deliver consecutive profits in the face of considerable external pressures. This has also been boosted by a continued focus on our core business activity of delivering projects of scale in the Perth CBD and selected, strategically located suburbs which satisfy Finbar’s prerequisite for access to key amenities, transport and infrastructure. While the market remains somewhat unpredictable in terms of the impact of COVID-19 restrictions which are currently having a marked impact on interstate and international travel, we remain cautiously optimistic about the continued recovery and improvement in sales throughout the course of the calendar year. Finbar’s ability to remain agile and responsive under such conditions has underpinned the company’s ongoing resilience and success while other operators have fallen by the wayside and again is testament to the prudent and strategic management of the company’s assets and resources. Our commitment as a company to ongoing agility and responsiveness to prevailing market conditions and evolving buyer behaviour continues to impact the location and markets we target and which we believe will deliver ongoing shareholder value. The Perth residential market continues to evolve in line with global trends, with an increasing diversity of buyer demographics swapping the demands of larger free standing homes on more substantial lots for the relative convenience and sociability that apartment living offers and which continues to stimulate and underpin buyer demand. First home buyers and empty nesting down sizers continue to drive the bulk of the growth in demand for apartments across Perth, with a large proportion looking for the ease of moving from a family home to a high amenity apartment in suburbs familiar to them or of opting to sample city life after years in the suburbs. While first home buyers have dominated sales at Finbar’s One Kennedy and Palmyra East low rise developments, demand and competition in this sector has directly impacted margins achieved on these projects with higher specifications at each needed to drive sales in this particular market which has impacted profit levels this financial year. Finbar also this year welcomed the approval of its landmark Civic Heart project in one of South Perth’s most iconic locations after a prolonged period of reviews and delays. I would personally like to take this opportunity to thank the WA Minister for Planning, Ms Rita Saffioti, who approved the project in February this year following a comprehensive review of the Joint Development Assessment Panel’s previous decision. FINBAR GROUP LIM IT ED AN NU A L R EP O R T 2020 3 As a largely CBD focused developer we are keen to see the revitalisation of the Perth CBD which has continued to struggle economically and socially and which is a key focus of the forthcoming Perth City Council elections. Thriving city centres require a concentration of residents that apartment living is able to facilitate. Making the city attractive to those seeking a more urban lifestyle is key to Perth’s ongoing growth and development and when managed in a thoughtful and considered way, sensible density will ensure Perth transforms into a thriving urban centre open for business and investment. While we are seeing the cautious return of investors to the market as rental vacancy rates across the city continue to drop, Perth’s persistent status as one of the country’s most affordable markets will help drive the return of investors in more significant numbers and provide a much needed boost to the local market. The establishment of Finbar to Rent last year at a time when investor numbers in terms of overall purchaser figures remained low, has enabled it to successfully embed its offering to capitalise on an anticipated upswing in investor activity. As the Perth market continues to show signs of growth, despite the March quarter’s COVID-19 related impairment, Finbar’s strong balance sheet and agility in terms of responsiveness ensures we are perfectly positioned to take advantage of the next upswing in market activity and a real return in consumer confidence. We are very pleased to be able to deliver continued value to our shareholders despite the impact of global recession and uncertainty backed by a multi-billion dollar pipeline of approved projects in some of Perth’s most sought after locations. Our fully franked dividend payment this year of $0.01 per share is designed to conserve our cash balance ahead of the anticipated commencement of construction of the capital-intensive Civic Heart project and AT238 project. On behalf of the Board of Directors and Shareholders, I would like to thank the Finbar management team for their continued hard work and dedication to the ongoing success of the company during what has been an unprecedented period in our State’s history. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our joint venture partners, our primary building partner – Hanssen, relationship architect – SS Chang Architects, as well as our marketing and sales agents, suppliers, consultants and banking partners. Ours is a relationship based business and it is the efforts of the broader team that underwrite our ongoing success. J O H N C H A N Executive Chairman The Minister’s approval of the project, which has an estimated end value of more than $400 million, reinforces the findings of an independently appointed expert Design Review Panel which found the project to be of exemplary design and an exceptional entry statement to this iconic and highly visible precinct. We remain committed to delivering the people of South Perth a high quality project with a sophisticated range of resort style amenities and significant and inclusive communal spaces in an iconic and convenient location boasting some of the best views the city has to offer. The approval which came as part of the State Government’s recent overhaul of the development approval process in Western Australia, marks a significant step forward for sensible development in Perth and is part of its efforts to streamline what was an overly bureaucratic and convoluted process and is part of an ongoing effort to help rebuild the economy in the wake of the impact of COVID-19. The greatest contributor to the overall costs of our projects remains the labour cost, which accounts for approximately 60% of overall costs and without strong construction partnerships that Finbar has, provides a potential barrier to developers’ abilities to remain financially competitive, deliver a diversity of housing options and employ potentially thousands of Western Australians. The continued upswing and strong performance of the State’s resource sector continues to underpin both WA and Australia’s economic resilience and is a key factor in our ability to withstand some of the most challenging economic conditions in recent memory. 4 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 FINBAR GROUP LIM IT ED AN NU A L R EP O R T 2020 5 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT In last year’s report, I referenced the previous financial year as one of the most challenging in our company’s 24-year history. Few could have foreseen or indeed planned for a global pandemic that would dominate our 25th year and impact virtually every aspect of our personal and working lives. While it is important to acknowledge the impact of COVID-19 on our fourth quarter performance this financial year, our underlying stable financial base leading into the pandemic and the agility of our compact team has helped mitigate many of the risk factors. In addition to this, there have also been some unexpected positive effects for Western Australia as a result of the pandemic which are supporting many of the business fundamentals through population growth. While we acknowledge that there is still much to play out and be learned in terms of the current and ongoing crisis and the impact of the various government stimulus measures, our ability to remain profitable despite considerable economic turmoil is certainly something we, as a company, are proud of. There have been a raft of Federal and State government stimulus measures and incentives released in the wake of the pandemic that have had a material effect on the WA property sector. While the bulk of the Federal measures have been pitched primarily at stimulating house and land building activity rather than the apartment sector directly, the State Government stamp duty concession is playing a part in supporting all sectors of the residential property market, with the overall effect of reducing the ‘in-cost’ to help stimulate buyer activity. Our sales levels took a direct hit in March and April as we experienced peak COVID- related uncertainty and restrictions, however we saw consumer confidence lift considerably across June, July and August as the impact of stimulus measures began to be felt and life in WA began to return to a ‘new normal’, with sales offices and display apartments once again open to the public. Remarkably, Finbar achieved an average of just under one sale per day during this three-month period, resulting in $44 million worth of sales – the highest monthly sales average in two years. Another factor contributing to the slow recovery of our sector is the ongoing repatriation of West Australians from overseas and other Australian States as a result of COVID-19, which is having a positive effect on population growth for the State. This is driving an increase in rental demand therefore improving investment returns for residential property, in turn increasing investor interest, or making ownership a more attractive proposition to existing tenants. COVID-related travel restrictions have impacted the number of people travelling to Western Australia, which has impacted on settlement times for foreign buyers, but we do see definite future opportunities in the wake of pandemic as WA’s isolation becomes a key selling point. The continued upswing in the resources sector and persistently high commodity prices are also beginning to impact the local property market in a more significant way, with a longer-term reversal in the erosion of the median house and unit price now looking far more optimistic. The resource led recovery, coupled with WA’s relatively low case numbers and absence of onerous restrictions on business, has helped fuel consumer confidence and remove some of the fear and insecurity around Western Australians making significant financial decisions such as the purchase of apartments. The combination of all of these factors has underwritten the resilience of the sector in the face of heightened economic uncertainty and paved the way for a far swifter recovery than many anticipated in March and April of this year. Once again, Finbar has finished the financial year with a solid $30.6 million in cash and we remain in the fortunate position of having no project related debt and $164 million in completed stock to fund future project commencements on selldown. DARREN PATEMAN Message from the Managing Director 6 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Finbar achieved an average of just under one sale per day during this three-month period, resulting in $44 million worth of sales – the highest monthly sales average in two years. Finbar’s net profit of $7.07 million for the full financial year ended June 30 2020, although less than anticipated pre-pandemic, marks 24 consecutive years of profit in what has proved to be one of the most challenging years in our Nation’s economic history. The figure was lower than originally predicted, due in part to the impact of COVID-19 on buyer behaviour and sales in the fourth quarter, but also because of the lower than anticipated margins on our low-rise Maylands and Palmyra projects. This primarily occurred due to a specification lift, conducted to ensure these projects remained competitive against the traditional entry level house and land package market that was offering significant incentives. The temporary closure of sales offices also impeded buyer engagement and activity while government imposed restrictions were in place, as did interstate and international travel bans which delayed foreign settlements, most notably at Sabina in Applecross during the current reporting period. The completion of our Palmyra East, One Kennedy in Maylands and Sabina projects this financial year has significantly boosted our pipeline of completed stock with settlements at Sabina noted as the largest contributor to our second half results. One of our key successes during the past financial year has undoubtedly been receiving development approval for our landmark South Perth Civic Heart project. The iconic project, which has an estimated end value of $400m and comprises two towers of 39 and 22 storeys respectively, was ultimately given approval by The Minister for Planning in February this year after years of protracted delays and disruptions. Civic Heart will be a gateway to South Perth linking the foreshore to the Perth Zoo and will create thousands of direct and indirect jobs for Western Australians during construction and into the future. Our pre-sales, launched in the midst of the pandemic, have been encouraging and we anticipate this momentum to continue as we head into the full marketing campaign which will take place around the time this report goes to print. The recovery of WA’s rental market, which recently recorded the lowest vacancy rates in eight years after a prolonged period of subdued pricing and activity, will also help underpin and drive the recovery in the residential market, further complemented by ongoing low interest rates and government stimulus measures. We believe these combined factors have the potential to push us further ahead in the recovery journey than we might otherwise have been if the Coronavirus had not been a factor in Western Australia. The ongoing reduction in vacancy rates across the Perth metropolitan area is also resulting in the cautious return of investors to the market, a factor we see as absolutely crucial to returning to the sorts of sales activity and profit levels we achieved ahead of the downturn in the WA property sector. The successful establishment last year of Finbar to Rent, an in house division dedicated to providing a streamlined management service exclusive to owners of Finbar properties, has ensured the company is well placed to take advantage of an upswing in the investor market and has grown from a standing start to now having 266 residential properties under management along with the management of Finbar’s own commercial office assets. The subsequent establishment of a dedicated in house Finbar Sales team, focused exclusively on the sales and marketing of a select number of Finbar properties, has further added to our offering and provides a continuity of service and professionalism to our client base. Another by-product of the resurgence in the WA resources sector has been the ongoing improvement of our Karratha asset, which continues to operate at full occupancy and is seeing continued growth in rental rates in line with the upswing in the resource sector. While it has never been Finbar’s intention to hold 7 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 the asset long term, its performance continues to be a valued investment income source for the business. The Company acknowledges the tireless work of the WA Property Council, led by chief executive Sandra Brewer, and their continued advocacy for key reforms across the sector. They have been instrumental in assisting the reform process and have worked closely with both the Premier, Treasurer, and the Minister for Planning to help stimulate the WA property sector and economy more broadly via strategically positioned stimulus measures. While the changes to stamp duty as part of the WA Government’s stimulus measures have been well received, we welcome the further reforms and continue to advocate for dispensations to stimulate growth. The impact of the foreign buyers’ surcharge remains a significant deterrent to foreign investment and the continued recovery of the local property market, therefore we continue to work with other key sector figures to lobby the government for its removal. Its imposition in Western Australia in response to similar moves on the east coast has failed to generate any significant revenue for the State Government. Foreign buyers are one of the key drivers in terms of achieving pre-sale targets to commence construction on major projects and in turn help drive our local economic recovery. The WA State Government’s recent overhaul of the development approval process, designed to stimulate the sector in the wake of COVID-19, is also a significant and welcome move and will assist developers through what was previously an overly complex and risky bureaucratic maze that was a disincentive to anyone looking to invest in more complex developments in WA. Our key focus remains on areas where we are able to achieve density and scale, notably the Perth CBD, Applecross and South Perth, which have traditionally been where we have focused our efforts. As alluded to previously, we remain open to opportunities in Perth’s Western Suburbs where significant demand has been identified in the local downsizer market, however we remain judicious in our choice of location and our involvement in any opportunity will require scale to progress. While there continues to be no shortage of development sites presented to us on a daily basis, the softer market conditions ensure we continue to focus on projects that will allow us to deliver margin and scale in areas that are familiar to us. Typically, these are city-based projects where height limits allow us to use the available density to best utilise our competitive advantages. We believe our focus and track record of development in the Perth CBD ideally positions us to continue to be a significant contributor to the growth of the city block residential population. A thriving CBD underpins the economic sustainability of Western Australia, drives tourism and growth and we are keen to help deliver on this identified economic potential. I would like to also take this opportunity to thank our long-term joint venture partners, many of whom have been working alongside us for decades. Their loyalty and commitment further underpin our success in often challenging markets and allows us to continue to develop through these markets and we thank them for their long-term loyalty and partnership. As well as focusing on working through our current pipeline of product, our key focus for the coming financial year will be to commence construction of both Civic Heart and AT238 on Adelaide Terrace. Finbar also acknowledges and benefits from its loyal and consistent shareholder base that has supported us through the good and bad times. We thank you for that ongoing support and the trust you place in us. In light of our desire to conserve cash to fund our significant key projects this year, the Board has resolved to pay a final dividend of $0.01 per share, fully franked, bringing the distribution to $0.03 per share attributable to the year. D A R R E N P A T E M A N Managing Director These projects will involve significant capital investment from Finbar and its partners and therefore the continued sell down of stock and the completion of Riverena in October will remain our primary short-term focus. While we remain open to development opportunities that satisfy our key requirements in our core areas, our existing pipeline ensures we are under no pressure to actively source additional development sites. We remain in the fortunate position of having an adequate land bank so that our capital can be actively deployed into the next projects we have earmarked for launch, pending the market conditions as they evolve. We would also like to acknowledge the signing of The Perth City Deal, a joint State and Federal initiative designed to activate the Perth city centre and support small business and local jobs as we look forward. The recently announced initiative is also underpinned by the desire for a CBD-based university campus to facilitate density and vibrancy in the Perth City centre. 8 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 COMPLETED PROJECTS Pictured: Sabina Applecross 9 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Palmyra APARTMENTS EAST PALMYRA APARTMENTS EAST 49 McGregor Road, Palmyra 43 McGregor Road Pty Ltd Fully Owned Subsidiary Project Company Entity Type Finbar’s Ultimate Interest 50% Marketing Commenced Construction Completed Total Lots Approximate Total Project Sales Value Value of Sales to Date Lots Sold Lots Unsold Jan-18 Sept-19 128 $49.7m $30.3m 81 (63%) 47 (37%) Situated on the doorstep of the historic port city of Fremantle, in the established community of Palmyra.

A copy of these policies and charters are available from the governance page of Finbar’s website, www.finbar.com.au and are referenced throughout this document where relevant. The framework is reviewed and revised in response to changes to law, developments in corporate governance best practice and changes to the Finbar business environment.

The Board has delegated responsibility for the operation and administration of the Group to the Executive Chairman, the Managing Director and Senior Executives. Composition of Board The Board recognises the importance of ensuring that Directors are free from interests and relationships that could, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the Director’s ability to exercise independent judgement and act in the Group’s best interests. Accordingly, the Board has adopted guidelines, set out in the Board Charter, which are used to determine the independence of the Directors. Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Group. Where the Board believes that a significant conflict exists for a Director on a Board matter, the Director concerned will be restricted from receiving materials, discussing or voting on the matter. Details of each of the non-executive Directors (Independent) are set out in the Directors Report (page 27). 4.2 Remuneration Committee The Remuneration Committee Charter sets out the Remuneration Committee’s role, powers and duties, and establishes the functions delegated to the Committee by the Board.

Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group, including Directors of the Company and other Executives. Key management personnel comprise the Directors of the Company and Executives for the Company and the Group including the Section 300A Executives. Remuneration levels for key management personnel and the secretary of the Company, and key management personnel and secretaries of the Group, are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced Directors and Executives. The Remuneration Committee periodically obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages of both the Company and the Group given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the Company’s remuneration strategy. The remuneration structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The remuneration structures take into account: » » » » » » the capability and experience of the key management personnel; the key management personnel’s ability to control the Group’s performance; the key management personnel’s contribution to revenue and future earnings potential; project outcomes; the key management personnel’s length of service; and the Group’s performance including: · the Group’s earnings; · the growth in share price and delivering constant returns on shareholder wealth; and · the amount of incentives within each key management person’s remuneration. Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, short-term performance-based incentives and can include long-term performance-based incentives. Fixed Remuneration Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any fringe benefit tax charges related to employee benefits including motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Remuneration levels are reviewed annually through a process that considers individual, segment and overall performance of the Group. In addition, where appropriate, external consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure the Directors’ and Senior Executives’ remuneration is competitive in the market place. A Senior Executive’s remuneration is also reviewed on promotion. Performance Linked Remuneration Performance linked remuneration includes short-term incentives (STI) and can include long-term incentives (LTI), which are designed to reward key management personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The short-term incentive is an ‘at risk’ bonus provided in the form of cash, whilst the long-term incentive is provided as shares or options over ordinary shares of the Company under the rules of the Employee Incentive Plan 2013 and Director Share Plan 2014. As at 30 June 2020, there were no options on issue. Short-term Incentive The Remuneration Committee has elected to set the primary financial performance objective of ‘profit before tax’ as the key measure for the calculation of the short term incentives of key management personnel. The non-financial objectives vary with position and responsibility and include measures such as those outlined above. The STI for the current period was wholly based on a percentage of ‘profit before tax’. Contractual amounts are accrued in the current year and discretionary amounts are accounted for in the year of payment. The contractual amount is set at 3.3% of ‘profit before tax’ for 2020 financial year. At the end of the financial year the Remuneration Committee assess the actual performance of the Group, the relevant segment and the individual key management personnel contribution to the Group. The performance evaluation in respect of the year ended 30 June 2020 has taken place in accordance with this process. 29 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 4 4.3 Corporate Governance Statement (continued) Remuneration Report - Audited (continued) 4.3.1 Principles of Remuneration (continued) Long-term Incentive Incentive shares or options issued under the Employee Incentive Plan 2013 or Director Share Plan 2014 are made in accordance with thresholds set in the plans approved by shareholders at the relevant Annual General Meeting, subject to the Board’s discretion. Short-term and Long-term Incentive Structure The Remuneration Committee considers that the above performance-linked remuneration structure is generating the desired outcome. The evidence of this is in respect to the long term historical profit and dividend growth of the Company, coupled with the long term retention of key management personnel resulting in the retention of Company intellectual property. Consequences of Performance on Shareholders Wealth In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Remuneration Committee has regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years: Total comprehensive income $7,068,000 $11,372,000 $13,760,000 $5,059,000 $8,127,000 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 Profit before tax Dividends paid Change in share price Return on capital employed Return on total equity $10,488,000 $15,947,000 $18,786,000 $10,369,000 $10,687,000 $13,606,000 $16,302,000 $13,874,000 $16,219,000 $20,686,000 -$0.14 -$0.10 4.47% 2.92% 5.58% 4.58% $0.14 6.24% 5.46% -$0.03 -$0.36 4.76% 2.34% 4.26% 3.57% Profit before tax is considered as one of the financial targets in setting the STI. Dividends, changes in share price, and return of capital are included in the total shareholder return (TSR) calculation which is one of the performance criteria assessed for the LTI. The other performance criteria assessed for the LTI is growth in earnings per share, which takes into account the Group’s net profit. The overall level of key management personnel’s remuneration takes into account the performance of the Group over a number of years. Directors Total base remuneration for all Directors, last voted upon by shareholders at the November 2013 AGM, is not to exceed $360,000 per annum. Directors’ base fees are presently $197,790 per annum.

Given the small size and relatively stable nature of its workforce it has formed the view that at this time it would not be appropriate or practical to establish a written policy regarding gender diversity. The Board will review this position at least annually. However, generally, when selecting new employees or advancing existing employees, no consideration is given to gender, age or ethnicity, but instead selections are based upon individual achievements, skill and expertise. Gender representation Board Key Management Personnel Senior Management Group 5 Principal Activities 2020 2019 Female - - 50% 53% Male 100% 100% 50% 47% Female - - 60% 48% Male 100% 100% 40% 52% The principal activities of the Group during the course of the financial year continued to be property development and investment.

The Group holds rental property through 175 Adelaide Terrace Pty Ltd, Finbar Karratha Pty Ltd and Finbar Commercial Pty Ltd.

See below for further information on the Company’s project completions. 36 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 6 Operating and Financial Review (continued) Review of Operations Finbar Group Limited’s (‘Finbar’ or ‘the Company’) core business lies in the development of medium to high density residential apartments and commercial property within the state of Western Australia. Finbar carries out its development projects in its own right or through incorporated special purpose entities and equity accounted investees, of which the Company either directly or indirectly holds interests in project profitability ranging between 50% and 100%. The Company operates predominantly within the Perth CBD and surrounding areas. Finbar’s business model involves the acquisition of suitable development land either directly or by way of an incorporated Special Purpose Vehicle or by development agreements with Land Owners. Equity partners are sought to allow the Company to leverage into larger development projects to take advantage of the benefits of economies of scale, and to help spread project risk. Finbar outsources its design, sales and construction activities to external parties. Finbar established an internal sales team in May 2020. The administration of the companies along with the operating, investment, and acquisitions decisions are made by Finbar’s Board and Management. The Company employs 26 staff in its corporate offices in East Perth, Western Australia and 1 member of staff in its office in the Pilbara. This outsourcing model ensures that the Company is and remains scalable, efficient and agile in a market where acquisition and project timing is critical in maintaining a competitive advantage, helping to protect margins and enhancing the returns Finbar can generate for its shareholders. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s operating model that occurred during the relevant reporting period and the Company continued to develop and invest in built-form projects within Western Australia throughout the year as its core business. During financial year 2020, Finbar Commercial Pty Ltd acquired 2 commercial investment properties at the Aurelia and Vue Tower development. There is less demand for investment property, however, a low interest rate environment coupled with weakened housing prices is helping drive owner occupier activity for company product. Factors that may affect the Company’s profit are generally restricted to items that would be considered to reside outside of the control of the Board and Management and are, in general, movements in interest rates, government rebates and incentives, changes in taxation and superannuation laws, banking lending policies and their regulatory changes, global economic factors, resources sector activity, and employment rates. The outbreak of COVID-19 globally and in Australia in the second half of the year ended 30 June 2020 was a significant risk event. The full impact on the Australian economy, travel restrictions and period of recovery is yet to be known. While the measures implemented by the Federal and State Governments were effective in reducing the impact of the virus, there may be ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19 which will require further government response. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant reduction in March and June 2020 quarter sales resulting in reduced settlement revenue for the reporting period. Delayed settlements in the Sabina project also contributed to the result with foreign buyers unable to travel to conclude settlement affairs. Apart from those tenants that were required by the government to close their business (e.g.: food and beverages tenancies), the major tenants have been able to stay open and trade safely during the pandemic. Rent abatements and/or rent deferrals have been and are still being provided to affected tenants in accordance to the relevant Code of Conduct legislation. The Company’s Management has remained diligent in ensuring it maintains a strong balance sheet to protect and improve the Company’s market position through this crisis. The launch of Civic Heart and construction commencement at Dianella positions the Company to benefit from the opportunities that may arise from decreased competition and general industry stress. The ability to source new viable development opportunities is central to Finbar’s ongoing success and the Board and Management has demonstrated a long track record of this ability. The Board and Management control the Company’s key risks through the implementation of control measures which include; land acquisitions generally secured without the use of debt funding, development funding which is carried out utilising senior bank funding (no mezzanine) from major Australian banks, and the Company’s small and agile structure which can rapidly adapt to changes in market conditions. There were no significant changes in the composition of overall assets and liabilities, with movements in assets from non-current to current and movements in liabilities from non-current to current as projects reach completion. The Company continued to focus on the generation of sales and rental revenue through property development and investment. The Board and Management do not currently have the view that there is a requirement to reposition the Company’s overall business model. The Board and Management continuously monitor market fluctuations and conditions and implement appropriate strategies to benefit from and insulate the Company against changing market conditions. 37 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 6 Operating and Financial Review (continued) Completed Projects Motive - 172 Railway Parade, West Leederville: 14 units have settled in the reporting period. 8 units remain for sale in the 143 unit development.

The address of the Company’s registered office is Level 6, 181 Adelaide Terrace, East Perth, WA 6004. The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020 comprise the Company, its Subsidiaries (together referred to as ‘the Group’ and individually as ‘Group entities’) and the Group’s interest in equity accounted investees. The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in residential property development and property investment (see Note 6). 2 (a) Basis of Preparation Statement of Compliance The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. These consolidated financial statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 25th August 2020. (b) Basis of Measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following: · financial instruments recognised through profit or loss are measured at fair value; and · investment property is measured at fair value. The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in Note 4. (c) Functional and Presentation Currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the functional currency for the Group. In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/ Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, amounts in the consolidated financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. (d) Use of Estimates and Judgements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. (i) Assumptions and estimation uncertainties Information about assumptions made in measuring fair values and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the year ending 30 June 2020 are included in the following notes: » Note 12 - Valuation of investment property; » Note 13 - Property, plant & equipment; and » Note 24 - Valuation of financial instruments. (ii) 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. The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes the CFO who has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Audit Committee. 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) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) 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 occurred. 48 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 2 (e) Basis of Preparation (continued) Changes in Accounting Policies Except for the changes below, the Group’s accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in the financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019. The Group has initially adopted AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019. A number of other new standards, including IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, are effective from 1 July 2019 but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements. AASB 16 will result in almost all leases being recognised on the Balance Sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases. The accounting for lessors will not change significantly. The Group leases printing equipment. However, the Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the printing equipment (low-value assets). The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group owns its business premises which are classified as Property, plant and equipment on Balance Sheet. The Group leases out its investment property. The group has classified these leases as operating leases. The accounting policies applicable to the Group as a lessor are not different from those under AASB 117. The Group is not required to make any adjustments on transition to AASB 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor. As a result of initially applying AASB 16, there is no material effect on the Group’s financial statements. 3 Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. (a) (i) Basis of Consolidation Subsidiaries 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 investment 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 that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. (ii) Equity Accounted Investees Equity accounted investees are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic and operating decisions. Investments in equity accounted investees are accounted for using the equity method (Equity Accounted Investees) and are initially recognised at cost. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses and equity movements of Equity Accounted Investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that the joint control commences until the date the joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an Equity Accounted Investee, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the Equity Accounted Investee. Investments in equity accounted investees are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and the recoverable amount. Investments in equity accounted investees are treated as current assets where it is expected that the investment will be realised within a twelve month time frame. (iii) Joint Operations A joint operation is carried on by each venturer using its own assets in pursuit of the joint operations. The consolidated financial statements include the assets that the Group controls and the liabilities that it incurs in the course of pursuing the joint operation, and the expenses that the Group incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the joint operation. (iv) Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation 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 statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with Equity Accounted Investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the Equity Accounted Investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Gains and losses are recognised as the contributed assets are consumed or sold by the Equity Accounted Investee or, if not consumed or sold by the Equity Accounted Investee, when the Group’s interest in such entities is disposed. 49 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 3 (b) (i) Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Financial Instruments Non-derivative Financial Instruments Non-derivative financial assets Trade and other receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss – FVTPL) are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: » » it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in Note 3(j). Non-derivative financial liabilities Trade and other payables, commercial bills and subordinated liabilities are initially recognised when they are originated at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (ii) Share Capital Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Repurchase of share capital When share capital recognised in equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. (c) (i) Property, Plant and Equipment Recognition and Measurement Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets include the cost of materials, direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working order for its intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs (see below). Items classified as property are measured at fair value. Refer Note 3(c)(iv). Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant & equipment and are recognised net within “Other income” in profit or loss. Losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant & equipment and are recognised net within “Administrative expenses” in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings. In respect to borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets, the Group capitalises costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of the asset. 50 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 3 (c) (ii) Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued) Reclassification to Investment Property Property that is being constructed for future use as investment property is accounted for as property, plant and equipment until construction or development is complete, at which time it is remeasured to fair value and reclassified as investment property. Any gain or loss arising on remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss. When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is remeasured to fair value and reclassified as investment property. Any loss is recognised in the revaluation reserve to the extent that an amount is included in revaluation reserve for that property, with any remaining loss recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any gain arising on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss to the extent the gain reverses a previous impairment loss on the property, with any remaining gain recognised in a revaluation reserve in equity. (iii) Subsequent Costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. (iv) Revaluation Model for Property After recognition as an asset, the Group has elected to carry an item of property whose fair value can be reliably measured shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. If an item of property is revalued, the entire class of property to which that asset belongs shall be revalued. Any gain or loss arising on remeasurement is recognised in other comprehensive income and asset revaluation reserve. Refer Note 4. (v) Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciation and amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: » Office property » Office furniture and equipment, fixtures and fittings » Plant and equipment 40 years 5 - 25 years 1 - 10 years Depreciation and amortisation rates and methods are reviewed at each reporting date. When changes are made, adjustments are reflected prospectively in the current and future periods only. (d) Investment Property Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, used in the production or supply of goods and services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at fair value (see Note 4) with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The self-constructed investment property transferred from inventory are recognised at fair value. When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant or equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting. (e) Inventories Inventories and work in progress, including land held for resale, are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development costs, holding costs and directly attributable interest on borrowed funds where the development is a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is ceased during extended periods in which active development is interrupted. When a development is completed and ceases to be a qualifying asset, borrowing costs and other costs are expensed as incurred. 51 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 3 (e) Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Inventories (continued) Current and Non-current Inventory Assets Inventory is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria: » » » it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; or it is expected to be realised within twelve months of the reporting date. All other inventory is treated as non-current. (f) (i) Impairment Financial Assets Under the expected credit losses (ECL) model in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instrument, the Group calculates the allowance for credit losses by considering on a discounted basis the cash shortfalls it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring. The allowance is the sum of these probability-weighted outcomes. At each reporting period, the Group assess whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, by analysing reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Except for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, trade receivables, AASB 15 contract assets and lease receivables, at each reporting date: · the Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition; and · if the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to ‘12 month expected credit loss’. The allowance and any changes in the expected credit loss are recognised as impairment gain and losses in profit or loss. (ii) Non-financial Assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets other than investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash flow from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash generating unit”). An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. 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 if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. 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. (g) (i) Employee Benefits Superannuation Contributions Obligations for contributions to superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in profit or loss. (ii) Long-term Employee Benefits The Group’s obligation in respect of long-term service benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on costs; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-rated or government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 52 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 3 (g) (iii) Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Employee Benefits (continued) Termination Benefits Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an expense if the Group has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be reliably estimated. (iv) Short-term Employee Benefits Short term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be recognised reliably. (v) Share-based Payment Transactions At the grant date, fair value of options granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The amount recognised is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest, except for those that fail to vest due to market conditions not being met. (h) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be reliably estimated, 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 the risks specific to the liability. (i) Revenue Under AASB 15, Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer. (i) Property Sales Revenue from property sales include: · Sale of residential and commercial property; · Development costs fees which represent the fees charged to recoup project development costs from the Land Owners; and · Profit Share fees which represent percentage profit sharing revenue based on net project profit. Revenue is recognised when control of the assets is transferred and the amount of revenue is measured based on the contracted amount. The timing of transfer of control vary depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. For projects with an external landowner when the Group is engaged as a property developer of the land, the Group is deemed to be acting as the principal in the transaction and as such, property sales revenue and cost of sale are grossed up by the land cost base. The cost of sales allocated to individual units is based on the estimated overall selling price for the project and is updated at each reporting date. (ii) Supervision Fees Supervision fees represents the management fees charged to the Equity Accounted Investees. Revenue is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of project completion which is by reference to an assessment of the costs incurred and the costs to be incurred. Revenue is measured based on the contracted amount and constrained to the amount that is highly probable. (iii) Management Fee Management fees represents the management fee charged to the Equity Accounted Investees shareholders. Revenue is recognised in profit or loss at project completion and is measured based on the contracted amount and constrained to the amount that is highly probable. (iv) Rental Income Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease in accordance with AASB 117. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. 53 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 3 (j) Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Finance Income and Finance Costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), interest on loans to Equity Accounted Investees, dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale assets, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on financial assets, and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. (k) Income Tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and equity accounted investees to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised. The Group does not distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its shareholders. (l) Goods and Services Tax Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. (m) Earnings per Share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees. (n) Segment Reporting Determination and Presentation of Operating Segments An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete information is available. Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Group’s headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill. 54 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 3 (o) (i) Significant Accounting Policies (continued) New Standards and Interpretations New accounting standards and interpretations effective from 1 July 2019 The Group’s financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies consistent with those in the prior year except for the adoption of AASB 16 Leases issued by the AASB which have been applied for the first time in the 30 June 2020 reporting period. Refer to Note 2(e) for the impact of new standards. (ii) New Standards and Interpretations A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2020 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The potential impact of the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations has been considered and they are not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statement. 4 Determination of Fair Values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. (a) Investment Property and Property carried at fair value An external, independent valuation company, having appropriately recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued, values the Group’s investment property portfolio and property no less than once every three years. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably and willingly. In the absence of current prices in an active market, the valuations are prepared by considering the aggregate of the estimated cash flows expected to be received from renting out the property. A yield that reflects the specific risks inherent in the net cash flows is then applied to the net annual cash flows to arrive at the property valuation. Valuations reflect, where appropriate: the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting vacant accommodation, the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between the Group and the lessee, and the remaining economic life of the property. When rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated reversionary increases, it is assumed that all notices and where appropriate counter-notices, have been served validly and within the appropriate time. Properties that have not been independently valued as at the balance sheet date are carried at fair value by way of directors valuation. (b) Trade and Other Receivables The fair value of trade and receivables, excluding construction work in progress, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes. (c) Share-based Payment Transactions The fair value of employee stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes (or similar) option-pricing model. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value. (d) Financial Guarantees For financial guarantee contracts liabilities, the fair value at initial recognition is determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach. This method takes into account the probability of default by the guaranteed party over the term of the contract, the loss given default (being the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered in the event of default) and exposure at default (being the maximum loss at the time of default). 55 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 5 Financial Risk Management Overview The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: » » credit risk liquidity risk » market risk This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements. Risk Management Framework The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board is responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Group Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Trade and Other Receivables The nature of the Group’s business means that most sales contracts occur on a pre-sales basis, before significant expenditure has been incurred on the development. All pre-sale contracts require a deposit at the point of entering into the contract, these funds being held in trust independently of the Group. Generally, pre-sale contracts are executed on an unconditional basis. Possession of a development property does not generally pass until such time as the financial settlement of the property has been completed, and title to a development property does not pass until the financial settlement of the property has been completed. Where possession of the development property is granted prior to settlement, title to the property remains with the Group until financial settlement of the property has been completed. The demographics of the Group’s customer base has little or no influence on credit risk. Approximately 2.31% (2019: 10.92%) of the Group’s revenue is attributable to multiple sales transactions with single customers. The Board of Directors has established a credit policy which undertakes an analysis of each sale. Purchase limits are established on customers, with these purchase limits being reviewed on each property development. The Group’s trade and other receivables relate mainly to the Group’s loans to Equity Accounted Investees (within which the Group holds no more than a 50% interest) and Goods and Services Tax refunds due from the Australian Taxation Office. The loans to Equity Accounted Investees are repaid from proceeds on settlement and bear interest at BBSY plus agreed margin. The Group has not established an allowance for impairment, as no losses are expected to be incurred in respect of trade and other receivables. 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’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group uses project by project costing to cost its products and services, which assists it in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimising its cash return on investments. Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, whilst optimising the return. Interest Rate Risk The Group continuously reviews its exposure to changes in interest rates and where it is considered prudent will enter into borrowings on a fixed rate basis. 56 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 5 Financial Risk Management (continued) Capital Management The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as total comprehensive income attributable to the group divided by total shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interests. The Board of Directors also monitors the level of dividends to shareholders. The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The Group’s target is to achieve a return on assets of between 6.00% and 8.00%; for the year ended 30 June 2020 the return was 3.39% (2019: 4.41%). In comparison the weighted average interest expense on interest-bearing borrowings (excluding liabilities with imputed interest) was 1.74% (2019: 2.84%). The Group’s debt-to-capital ratio at the end of the financial year was as follows: Interest-bearing debt Market Capitalisation as at 30 June Total Capital Debt-to-capital ratio at 30 June Note 2020 $’000 2019 $’000 21 42,854 49,829 190,486 228,583 233,340 278,412 18% 18% From time to time the Company purchases its own shares on the market; the timing of these purchases depends on market prices and availability of unallocated company cash resources where not required for core business activity. Shares purchased are cancelled from issued capital on purchase. The intention of the Board of Directors in undertaking such purchases is to enhance the capital return to the shareholders of the Company. Buy decisions are made on a specific transaction basis by the Board of Directors. In accordance with Rule 13 of the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP), the Directors have elected to suspend the DRP in the 2020 financial year until further notice. As such the DRP will not be active for the above mentioned dividend. 6 Operating Segments The Group operates predominantly in the property development sector and has identified 4 reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s three strategic business units, as well as the Corporate office. The strategic business units offer different products, and are managed separately because they require different technology, marketing strategies and have different types of customers. For each of the strategic business units, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews internal management reports on a regular basis. The following describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments: » Residential apartment development in Western Australia; » Commercial office/retail development in Western Australia; » Rental of property in Western Australia; and » Corporate costs includes supervision fees, management fees and net assets attributable to the corporate office. 57 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 6 Operating Segments (continued) Information about Reportable Segments For the Year ended 30 June 2020 Residential Apartment Development $’000 Commercial Office/Retail Development $’000 Rental of Property $’000 Corporate $’000 Total $’000 External Revenues - Company and Subsidiaries 136,630 10,458 7,127 370 154,585 External Revenues - Equity Accounted Investees 4,171 - 16 - 4,187 External Revenues - Total 140,801 10,458 7,143 370 158,772 Reportable Segment Profit before Income Tax - Company and Subsidiaries Reportable Segment Profit before Income Tax - Equity Accounted Investees 7,241 (3,811) 2,202 4,573 10,205 (24) 4 10 (27) (37) Reportable Segment Profit before Income Tax - Total 7,217 (3,807) 2,212 4,546 10,168 Reportable Segment Assets - Company and Subsidiaries 145,852 17,701 98,285 23,369 285,207 Reportable Segment Assets - Equity Accounted Investees Reportable Segment Liabilities - Company and Subsidiaries Reportable Segment Liabilities - Equity Accounted Investees* Capital Expenditure 18,012 51,653 11,195 - 2,016 - - 20,028 1,959 36,108 846 90,566 44 - - - 1 87 11,240 87 For the Year ended 30 June 2019 External Revenues - Company and Subsidiaries 141,550 6,019 6,875 306 154,750 External Revenues - Equity Accounted Investees 11,546 - 30 - 11,576 External Revenues - Total 153,096 6,019 6,905 306 166,326 Reportable Segment Profit before Income Tax - Company and Subsidiaries Reportable Segment Profit before Income Tax - Equity Accounted Investees Reportable Segment Profit before Income Tax - Total 10,806 68 2,723 6,655 20,252 643 11,449 9 77 24 (11) 665 2,747 6,644 20,917 Reportable Segment Assets - Company and Subsidiaries 184,548 28,130 85,477 18,708 316,863 Reportable Segment Assets - Equity Accounted Investees 8,171 2,083 - - 10,254 Reportable Segment Liabilities - Company and Subsidiaries 83,541 1,386 37,783 1,572 124,282 Reportable Segment Liabilities - Equity Accounted Investees* Capital Expenditure 3,055 - 34 - - - - 43 3,089 43 * Excludes Liabilities payable to Finbar Group.

During the year ended 30 June 2020, Finbar Commercial Pty Ltd acquired 2 investment properties at the Aurelia and Vue Tower development. The increase in the revaluation was a result of a significant extension of the weighted average lease term from prior year, offset by COVID-19 impacts. 12b Measurement of fair values (i) Fair Value Hierarchy The fair value of investment property was determined by external, independent property valuers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued or by director’s valuation. In accordance with the Company’s policy, independent valuations were undertaken in December 2019 on all existing properties at the time of valuation. At June reporting period, a Directors’ valuation was undertaken which assessed the negative impact on valuation of the properties due to the uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors considered include longer letting up allowance and potential mandatory rent relief post 30 June 2020 in accordance to the Code of Conduct legislation. The fair value assessment of the Company as at the reporting date includes the best estimate of the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic using information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements and appropriate forward looking assumptions. The fair value measurement for investment property of $97,331,000 has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used (see Note 2(d)). (ii) Level 3 Fair Value Note 12a shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances for Level 3 fair values. (iii) Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of investment property, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used. Valuation Technique Significant unobservable inputs Inter-relationship between key unobservable inputs and fair value measurement Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of net cash flows able to be generated from the property taking into account expected rental growth rate, void periods, occupancy rate, lease incentive costs, such as rent-free periods and other costs not paid by tenants. The expected net cash flows are discounted using risk-adjusted discount rates. Among other factors, the discount rate estimation considers the quality of a building and its location (prime vs secondary), tenant credit quality and lease terms. Expected market rental growth 0.00% - 5.00%; Weighted average 2.76%; Void periods (average 7.8 months after the end of each lease); Occupancy rate 89.82%; Rent-free periods (21 - 57 month period on certain new leases); and Risk-adjusted discounted rates (weighted average 7.75%). The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if: Expected market rental growth were higher (lower); Void periods were shorter (longer); Occupancy rate were higher (lower); Rent-free periods were shorter (longer); or Risk-adjusted discount rate were lower (higher). Capitalisation of income valuation: The capitalisation of income valuation method capitalises the current rent received, at a rate analysed from the most recent transactions of comparable property investments. The capitalisation rate used varies across properties. Valuations reflect, where appropriate, lease term remaining, the relationship of current rent to the market rent, location and prevailing investment market conditions. Adopted capitalisation rate 7.25% - 10.00%; Gross rent per annum $450 - $600 per sqm; Occupancy rate 56.35% - 99.02%; and Lease term remaining (years) 0.01 - 8.01. The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if: Adopted capitalisation rate were higher (lower); Gross rent per annum were higher (lower); Occupancy rate were higher (lower); or Lease term remaining were longer (shorter). 62 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 13 Property, Plant and Equipment Cost or Valuation Balance at 1 July 2018 Additions Change in fair value Disposals Balance at 30 June 2019 Balance at 1 July 2019 Additions Change in fair value Disposals Balance at 30 June 2020 Depreciation Balance at 1 July 2018 Revaluation Depreciation and amortisation charge for the year Balance at 30 June 2019 Balance at 1 July 2019 Disposals Revaluation Depreciation and amortisation charge for the year Balance at 30 June 2020 Carrying Amounts At 1 July 2018 At 30 June 2019 At 1 July 2019 At 30 June 2020 Office Furniture and Equipment $’000 Property $’000 Plant and Equipment $’000 Fixtures and Fittings $’000 Total $’000 6,229 - (79) - 773 43 - - 10,102 91 17,195 - - (12) - - - 43 (79) (12) 6,150 816 10,090 91 17,147 6,150 - 1,091 - 816 87 - - 10,090 91 17,147 - - (2,407) - - - 87 1,091 (2,407) 7,241 903 7,683 91 15,918 - 556 5,960 - 42 - 888 598 6,848 67 - 5 72 6,583 (172) 1,107 7,518 (172) 172 - - - (171) 171 - 6,229 6,150 6,150 7,241 598 6,848 72 7,518 - - 107 705 217 218 218 198 (1,762) - 655 - - 4 (1,762) (171) 937 5,741 76 6,522 4,142 3,242 3,242 1,942 24 19 19 15 10,612 9,629 9,629 9,396 For each revalued class the carrying amount that would have been recognised had the assets been carried on historical cost basis are as follows: Revalued assets at deemed cost Cost Less accumulated depreciation Net book value at 30 June 2020 Property $’000 6,871 (1,403) 5,468 63 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 13 Property, Plant and Equipment (continued) Measurement of fair values (i) Fair Value Hierarchy The fair value of property was determined by external, independent property valuers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued or by director’s valuation.

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: • giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and • complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. The Financial Report comprises: • Consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020. • Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, Consolidated statement of changes in equity, and Consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended • Notes including a summary of significant accounting 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. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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 (including Independence Standards) (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 The Key Audit Matters we identified are: • Valuation of Investment Property • Carrying Value of Inventory. Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

A small percentage movement in the capitalisation rate would result in a significant financial impact to the investment property balance and the income statement.

It is the Group’s policy when the valuation was not performed at year end for the directors to assess and confirm the valuation to be adopted in the financial report. We evaluated the external and internal valuations Judgemental valuation inputs with respect to the Karratha investment properties ($55.0million), as there is limited availability of comparable sales and leasing evidence due to the low transaction levels in the Karratha region. This results in a higher level of judgement being applied by the Group to the valuation of both commercial and residential properties in that development, increasing our audit effort applied in this area. Our procedures included: • Understanding the Group’s process regarding the valuation of investment property, including specific considerations of the impact of COVID- 19. • We assessed the scope, objectivity, competence and capabilities of the Group’s external valuer. • We compared the valuations prepared using the income valuation model to the alternate discounted cashflow method valuation where prepared, as a comparator, by the external valuers. • We informed our evaluation of the external valuations and the director’s internal valuations, by comparing values to recent sales evidence and other published reports of industry commentators. • We challenged the capitalisation rates applied, particularly for the Karratha investment property, based on our knowledge of the property portfolio and other published reports of industry commentators. • We also compared, on a sample basis, the following key inputs to the valuations to existing lease contracts and published CPI statistics by the Australian Bureau of Statistics: − Gross rent; − Occupancy rate; − Lease term remaining; and − CPI • We assessed the appropriateness of the Group’s • Consideration of the economic impacts of COVID-19 on valuations including leasing and rental relief assumptions. leasing and rental relief assumptions with consideration of the industry sector of the Group’s Tenants. • We assessed the disclosures in the financial report, using our understanding obtained from our 82 FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Valuation of Investment Property ($97.3million) Refer to Note 12 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Valuation of investment properties is a key Our procedures included: audit matter due to the: • Understanding the Group’s process regarding the Significance of the balance to the valuation of investment property, including financial statements specific considerations of the impact of COVID- Judgement required in assessing the 19. capitalisation rates applied to the • We assessed the scope, objectivity, competence projected income of individual and capabilities of the Group’s external valuer. • • properties in the income valuation model.

Carrying value of Inventory ($154.6million) Refer to Note 16 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Valuation of inventory, being both completed units and work in progress, is a key audit matter due to the: • • Significance of the balance to the financial statements Significant judgement and our effort applied to assessing forecast selling prices and costs to complete for work in progress. These factors impact the assessment of net realisable value, as in accordance with accounting standards, inventory must be carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work in progress comprises developments currently under construction and future projects, which are long term in nature where forecast costs could be negatively impacted by issues encountered during planning or construction. In addition, forecast selling prices can fluctuate significantly based on property market conditions. This includes consideration of economic impacts of COVID-19 on forecast selling prices. These factors increase the level of forecasting judgement and audit complexity when assessing forecast selling prices and costs to complete for inventory. Our procedures included: • We selected a sample of significant developments under construction and future projects to understand project design complexity, sub-contractor reliance, other project risks and project funding which could negatively impact costs to complete. This was done through enquiry of senior management, and inspection of documentation such as budgets, funding agreements, supplier contracts and internal reports. • We compared a sample of actual to forecast selling prices and actual to forecast construction costs to inform our evaluation of forecast selling prices and costs to complete respectively. We have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the forecast selling prices. • We undertook sample testing of sales made during the year and subsequent to year end to sales contracts to assess sales margins achieved during the year and post year end. This informs our evaluation of the carrying value of inventory at balance date against the Group’s policy for recording inventory at the lower of cost and net realisable value. • We compared forecast selling prices to forecast total costs for significant projects. We did this to assess the carrying value of inventory against the Group’s policy for recording inventory at the lower of cost and forecast net realisable value.
