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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board (‘Board’) of Finbar Group Limited (‘Finbar’ or ‘the Company’), its subsidiaries and equity accounted investees 
(collectively the Group) is committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance in the conduct of the organisation’s 
business in order to create and deliver value to shareholders. In this regard, Finbar has established a corporate governance 
framework, including corporate governance policies and charters to assist in this commitment. 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.

As a listed entity, Finbar is required to comply with Australian laws including the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the 
Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules, and to report against the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and

Board of Directors

Role of the Board 

The Board Charter sets out the Board’s role, powers and duties, and establishes the functions reserved for the Board and those 
which are delegated to the management. The Board’s primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder 
value. To fulfil this role, the Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Group.

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

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Remuneration Report - Audited

4.3.1 Principles of Remuneration 

Remuneration of Directors and Executives is referred to as remuneration as defined in AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and 
Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

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.

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

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. In line with industry practice, as from 1 July 2017 executive 
salaries were varied to be inclusive of all directors duties and responsibilities.

The Board oversees the establishment, implementation, and annual review of the Group’s risk management procedures. 
Management has established and implemented informal risk management procedures for assessing, monitoring and managing 
all risks including operational, financial reporting and compliance risks for the Group. The Managing Director and Chief Financial 
Officer provide assurance, in writing to the Board, that the financial risk management and associated compliance and controls 
have been assessed and found to be operating effectively.

Risk Management and Compliance Control

Comprehensive practices have been established to ensure:

capital expenditure with respect to land acquisitions or development agreements obtain prior Board approval;

financial exposures are controlled, including use of derivatives. Further details of the Group’s policies relating to interest rates 
management and credit risk are included in Notes 5 and 24 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements;

 » management systems are monitored and reviewed to achieve high standards of performance and compliance with 

regulations;

business transactions are properly authorised and executed;

Quality and Integrity of Personnel

Training and development and appropriate remuneration and incentives with regular performance reviews create an environment 
of cooperation and constructive dialogue with employees and senior management.

Financial Reporting

The Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer have provided assurance, in writing to the Board that the Group’s financial 
reports are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies 
adopted by the Board.

There is a comprehensive accounting system. Monthly actual results are reported against budgets approved by the Directors and 
revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly. Procedures are in place to ensure price sensitive information is reported to 
the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in accordance with Continuous Disclosure Requirements.

A review is undertaken at each half year end of all related party transactions.

Environmental Regulation 

The Group’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State 
legislation.

Compliance with the requirements of environmental regulations and with specific requirements of site environmental licences 
was substantially achieved across all operations with no instances of non-compliance in relation to licence requirements noted.

The Board is not aware of any significant breaches of environmental regulations during the period covered by this report.

Diversity

The Board has considered the recommendation to formulate strict measurable targets for the purposes of the assessment 
of gender diversity within the organisation. 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.

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.

Events Subsequent to Reporting Date

36 Chester Avenue Pty Ltd entered into a construction contract with Hanssen Pty Ltd on 1 July 2020. The capital commitment on 
the Dianella Apartments project totalled to $32,369,000. 

With continuing economic uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may require to grant further rent abatements 
and/or rent deferrals in accordance to the relevant Code of Conduct legislation. Further mandatory closures and government 
mandated restrictions will influence the Australian economy and property market which may have a future impact on property 
valuations. 

Other than mentioned, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report 
any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect 
significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial 
years.

9

Likely Developments

The Group will continue to pursue its policy of increasing the profitability and market share of its major business sectors during 
the next financial year. 

The Group will continue planned development projects on existing land and will continue to assess new development 
opportunities for the acquisition of land for future development.

Further information about likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of these operations in 
future years have not been included in this report as the disclosure of such information would, in the opinion of the Directors, be 
likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Non-audit Services

During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of 
those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

 »

 »

all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed to 
ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting 
in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and 
rewards.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided 
during the year are set out below:

Audit Services:

Auditors of the Company 

    Audit and review of the financial reports

    Audit and review of the financial reports of equity accounted investees

FINBAR GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

1

Reporting Entity

Finbar Group Limited (‘the Company’) is a public company domiciled in Australia. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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:

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.

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.

Investment property comprises commercial properties at five developments and residential properties at two developments which are 
leased to third parties (see Note 25). 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

Occupancy rate 56.35% - 99.02%; and                                                                      
Lease term remaining (years) 0.01 -

The estimated fair value would 
increase (decrease) if:

(lower);

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 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 property of $7,241,000 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

The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances for Level 3 fair values.

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:

The financial effect of this dividend has not been brought to account in the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 
and will be recognised in subsequent financial reports.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan under which holders of ordinary shares may elect to have all or part of their dividend 
entitlements satisfied by the issue of new ordinary shares rather than by being paid in cash. 

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.

30% franking credits available to shareholders of Finbar Group Limited for subsequent financial years

 8,311

The above available amounts are based on the balance of the dividend franking account at year-end adjusted for:

(a)    franking credits that will arise from the payment of current tax liabilities;

(b)    franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the year-end;

(c)    franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the year-end; and

(d)    franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years.

The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends. The impact 
on the dividend franking account of dividends proposed after the balance sheet date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by   
$1,166,000 (2019: $3,499,000).

Nature and purpose of reserve

Asset revaluation reserve

The revaluation reserve relates to the revaluation of non investment property carried at fair value.

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Valuation of investment properties is a key 
audit matter due to the:

•

•

Significance of the balance to the 
financial statements 

Judgement required in assessing the 
capitalisation rates applied to the 
projected income of individual 
properties in the income valuation 
model. A small percentage movement 
in the capitalisation rate would result in 
a significant financial impact to the 
investment property balance and the 
income statement. 

Timing of the valuations performed by 
the Group’s external valuer. 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

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.
