 Finbar  
 Milestones 

Looking out across the Perth 
CBD Skyline it’s hard not 
to notice the unmistakable 
footprint of Finbar. 

Since our beginnings in 1995, our vision has been to 

build better lifestyles – a philosophy that has seen us 

raise apartment development standards to new heights. 

In the 26 years that followed, a gold standard commitment to our 
craft has seen us become an award-winning company with an 
astonishing 100% delivery track record on over 6,527 apartments. 
With every Finbar development seen successfully through to 
completion, it’s no wonder that Finbar has earned the reputation  
as WA’s largest and most trusted apartment developer.

JOHN CHAN

“

In the rapidly changing market, there 
are green shoots from areas that were 
not previously anticipated.

”

Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to present Finbar Group’s Annual Report for 
2021.

Finbar has this year delivered a net profit after tax of $8.86 
million. This is a pleasing achievement in an external 
environment that continues to be challenging for property 
development companies, and represents a 25 per cent 
increase on the previous year.

It is the 25th year of consecutive profit reported by Finbar, 
a remarkable achievement through a number of different 
property cycles.

At the end of the financial year, Finbar held $52.6 million 
in cash compared with $30.6 million at 30 June 2020. The 
company completed 486 sales – both finished product and 
off-the-plan – over the course of the year, valued at $296 
million.

Finbar held completed stock valued at $59.9 million as at 
June 30, which equates to a sell down of $137 million in debt 
free stock during the financial year.

This strong cash position, bolstered by strong cashflow from 
completed stock settlements and increased confidence of 
improving operating conditions, allowed your company to pay 
a second half dividend of $0.02 per share, fully franked. This 
followed the interim dividend of $0.02 per share announced 
in February and brought the full year dividend to $0.04 per 
share, fully franked.

The current market for apartment developers remains 
challenging, particularly in marketing to those buyers that 
traditionally have contributed to off-the-plan pre-sales for 

major developments. As a result of this, we are seeing many 
projects being delayed because the developer and financial 
backers are unable to proceed without reaching their pre-
determined required level of pre-sales.

At the same time, the cost of raw materials, particularly 
steel, and labour are continuing to increase, and therefore 
construction costs are seeing significant upward pressure.  
It is this environment where our long term and deep 
relationships with builders like Hanssen Pty Ltd provide us 
with cost advantages that helps Finbar offer a product that 
remains very good value for money amongst any remaining 
competition.

Because of this, we believe the level of new apartment stock 
being developed and delivered to the market will continue 
to tighten. As demonstrated by Finbar’s sales of completed 
stock during the past financial year, there is good demand for 
well-located, well-presented and well-priced apartments.

There is no question that there will be a decreased number 
of new apartments available for sale in the market in coming 
years which, if completed stock demand levels remain strong, 
will lead to price appreciation.

To date, prices for apartments have not moved in step with 
the increases seen in development costs, despite the limited 
stock entering the market, but there are early signs that 
prices are beginning to move.

This should ensure adequate margins are achieved for our 
current projects as well as those that will commence this 
financial year. With our strong balance sheet and cashflow, 
and support from our banking and joint venture partners, we 
are able to commit to commencing projects without reaching

developments and a reflection of the trust and goodwill we have 

earned over the years from the West Australian market.

”

the usual level of pre-sales and this is a major competitive 
advantage in the current market.

I wrote last year about the impacts caused by the COVID-19 
pandemic and clearly they are still playing out and will 
continue to do so for several years.

The stalling of immigration and international travel 
caused by COVID-19 continues to impact on Finbar.  
Sales to foreign buyers have historically accounted for 
approximately 20 per cent of total sales and this market 
has now almost completely disappeared and remains 
uncertain into the future.  

In the rapidly changing market however, there are green 
shoots from areas that were not previously anticipated.

The advent of the pandemic has seen many Australians 
living and working overseas wanting to return home. Perth 
in particular has seen many expats entering from overseas 
and this has contributed to the acute shortage of available 
rental properties.

The resulting low vacancy rates and increasing rental prices, 
in addition to the reduced supply of new stock as I discussed 
earlier, will put further pressure on property prices.

Perth and parts of regional 
Western Australia will be seen 
as very attractive destinations 
when life returns to conditions 
closer to those that we enjoyed 
pre-COVID-19. 

We expect returning Australians to continue to boost 
demand for housing and accommodation in coming years 
and this should help negate the negative impacts caused 
by the reduced number of foreign investors actively 
looking to purchase in Perth. Unfortunately, the foreign 
buyer duty that imposes an additional 7 per cent cost 
on this sector of the market, does not look like it will be 
revoked, and certainly continues to discourage foreign 
investment in this sector.

I am pleased to report that, at the time of writing, 
Finbar’s largest ever project Civic Heart in South Perth is 
progressing well with construction proceeding according to 
our expectations.

Large projects become more complex as the scale 
increases. The lead time and construction timetable take 
longer and there are a number of issues that make these 
projects more difficult than projects of a smaller scale. It 
is a reflection of how Finbar has grown over the years and 
the intellectual property and in-house expertise it has built 
that we were able to commit to this project with our joint 
venture partners and progress it to its current point where 
construction is well underway.

The pre-sales achieved at the project stand at more than 
$117 million which is testament to the quality of Finbar’s 
developments and a reflection of the trust and goodwill 
we have earned over the years from the West Australian 
market.

Civic Heart will be an outstanding apartment development 
within the local community, bringing great amenity and 
a range of food and beverage options. The sales to date 
show it is an extremely attractive proposition for a range of 
people with pre-sales reflecting buyers coming from many 
different areas.

As with Civic Heart, construction at Finbar’s Perth CBD 
Project – AT238 is also progressing well with the structure 
now reaching level three at the time of writing and with 
$21.1m in pre-sales secured.

We look forward to completing this project in the next 
financial year.

In closing, I want to take the opportunity to thank our 
sales agents, our builder - Hanssen, our joint venture 
partners and our banking partners for their ongoing 
support. I also want to thank all of our shareholders and 
look forward to working on your behalf with our senior 
management, as we focus on delivering our current and 
future projects to market.

DARREN PATEMAN

“

We have built enormous goodwill in Western 
Australia and people trust us to deliver on our 
promise to deliver quality accommodation, a 
better lifestyle, and value for money.

”

Finbar has this year delivered a 25 per cent increase in net 
profit after tax of $8.86 million in a year that has seen some 
very encouraging signs for the recovery of the residential 
apartment development sector.

Our results were achieved predominately from improving 
market conditions that recovered quickly from lows of the 
pandemic news early last year to some of the highest sales 
months we have seen in many years.  This has helped us sell 
down our previously completed existing stock and turn these 
funds into cash for reinvestment and the return of capital to 
shareholders through the dividend which I will discuss below.  
Furthermore, it is allowing us to grow our pre-sale book to 
support our new project launches. 

Pleasingly, we have now almost completely sold those 
projects that in recent years have contributed to an erosion 
of development margins due to many years of a weakening 
market. We expect margins to normalise as we begin to 
complete our new round of current projects to market, 
starting with Dianella which reached a stage of completion 
late last month with revenues expected at the time of 
publishing this report, and new projects under construction.

At the end of the financial year, Finbar held $52.6 million in 
cash compared with $30.6 million at 30 June 2020. Finbar 
held completed stock valued at $59.9 million, which as 
the Chairman has noted, represents the sell down of $137 
million in debt free stock during the financial year.

During the year we sold 486 
apartments with a total value 
of $296 million. A number of 
these sales can be attributed 
to the in-house sales team we 
established during the year 
that has performed ahead of 
expectations amidst volatile 
market conditions.

Importantly, this cash and the cashflows from the settlement 
of our debt free stock selldown has allowed us to commence 
two very significant projects at Civic Heart and AT238 during 
the reporting period. We have also now committed to the 
commencement of major project Aurora and are also 
committed to commence The Point in this financial year.

It also allowed the payment of the $0.04 per share fully franked 
dividend for the full year, up from $0.03 last year, which I hope 
has pleased our long-term shareholders who have continued 
to hold our shares during the Perth property downturn.

The repatriation of Western Australians to the state has been 
a huge driver of accommodation demand. Furthermore, 
Western Australia is benefiting from a net gain in eastern 
states migration, the age group statistics indicating families 
are relocating to Western Australia to escape COVID-19 

6

restrictions and in pursuit of career opportunities and older 
age groups indicating an attractive retirement destination.

committed to commence major projects and rapidly bring 
them to the market as finished completed stock for sale. 

This has helped support our efforts in marketing existing 
stock which, prior to the completion of Dianella, was 
approximately just two months of existing stock available 
based on our current sales rates.

Whilst the market has improved for completed stock, 
this is still not flowing through to off-the-plan pre-sales 
activity. It is not easy to launch new projects and expect 
them to be rapidly underpinned by off-the-plan pre-sales. 
The investor market has not yet returned to normal levels.

Interest rates are at record lows and rental yields are 
improving due to high rental demand fuelled by population 
growth as previously mentioned, but property investors 
are cautious in stepping back into the property market.  
Investment property as an asset class is competing with 
other investment asset classes, like the equities market, 
which is seeing record highs and is easily accessible with 
smaller commitments.

We believe the value erosion that has been experienced 
in property investments in recent years is still fresh in 
people’s minds and we believe that we need to see a 
period of increased values to convince investors to return 
to ‘bricks and mortar’ investments (or ‘concrete and 
steel’ in our case).  It won’t be until we see sustained 
periods of price growth that investors are likely to return 
to the market.

This difficulty in selling projects off-the-plan will ultimately 
assist Finbar in cementing our existing number one 
market position in the longer term.  It continues to stifle 
competition and is the single largest barrier for any 
developer to obtain debt funding on which high density 
development is so heavily reliant. The only way projects 
are commencing currently is with development companies 
committing more cash equity than in normalised market 
conditions, which means you need a strong balance sheet, 
good cashflows, sound banking relationships, and strong 
joint venture partnerships to see the construction of these 
projects commence.

Finbar continues to outperform relative to the WA market 
in difficult conditions because Finbar and our joint venture 
partners have been willing to commit capital to the 
development of our projects even if pre-sales have not 
reached levels required by rival development companies. 
Whilst overall sales conditions have clearly improved, we 
still see this financial year playing out similarly to recent 
years where an approval, a signboard, and a selling agent 
does not make you a developer, and the construction of 
many local apartment projects will not get off the ground 
if developers are relying purely on a pre-sales campaign to 
underpin their commencement.

We, with our joint venture partners, have committed to our 
major projects at Civic Heart in South Perth and AT238 on 
Adelaide Terrace in Perth. We will do the same at Aurora 
and The Point later in the financial year and I want to 
thank our joint venture partners who, with Finbar, have 

In total, during the current 
financial year we will have 
$726 million of product under 
construction. That is a big 
commitment to new projects, 
and our largest since the 
sector’s downturn which 
commenced seven years ago.

Looking more closely at the current financial year, our 
project in Dianella is the only project expected to complete 
to add to the remaining stock and contribute to earnings 
this financial year. AT238 in Perth’s CBD is anticipated to be 
completed early next financial year, with the completion of 
Civic Heart expected to follow late FY2023 or early FY2024.

Because of the timing of delivery of AT238, which is 
currently anticipated to fall into early next financial year, 
we expect earnings to moderate this year before building 
materially the following year with the completion of those 
previously mentioned major projects.

We have also taken the decision to slowly release some 
of our investment properties in Karratha to the market, 
where our investment has continued to improve.  When 
we first commenced our Karratha project in 2012 it was 
a unique time for the region with the State Government 
investing significant amounts into the Royalties for 
Regions program, banks were lending in the region, 
and a local and transient labour force was available 
so construction could take place and costs readily 
controlled.  Now, some eight years later, none of the 
above three factors are available to Karratha and as such, 
Finbar’s asset is unique and not easily replicated.  It is 
the best asset of its type in the city and it remains in high 
demand from an accommodation perspective.

We will continue to increase rents to meet demand both 
improving our returns and value for Finbar’s retained 
property comprising 101 apartments plus ground floor 
commercial property.  Although the investment has 
performed particularly well and generated respectable 
returns since 2012, we have never seen it as a long-term 
holding for the company nor necessarily the best use 
of our equity in the project. As property conditions in 
Karratha continue to improve, we have opted to release 
units progressively into the rising market.  These sales 
will contribute to earnings where they exceed our current 
valuations and will release additional cash to Finbar for 
reinvestment in our core business.

Managing Director’s  
Report continued 

As expected, Federal and State Government stimulus 
packages, put in place to counter the economic impacts of 
COVID-19 and the ongoing State hard border controls, have 
put upward pricing pressure on building costs, particularly on 
labour and the cost of subcontractors.

Our building contracts are structured in a way to mitigate 
these risks and we also carry contingencies within our 
feasibilities to ensure we have adequate coverage to further 
accommodate these pressures from a budgeted margin and 
return perspective if required.

Some strategies to control costs include supporting our 
primary builder, Hanssen, in the early pre-purchasing of 
bulk materials where required to help hedge against the 
increasing costs of raw materials like structural steel.

As already outlined by our Chairman John Chan, we value our 
relationships with the major Australian banks, in particular 
Commonwealth Bank and Westpac Banking Corporation, who 
have been integral to Finbar’s continued development activity 
over multiple decades and many property cycles. I would like 
to add my personal thanks for the strong relationships we 
enjoy and the success of countless projects over our 26 years 
in the industry.

We have built a dedicated team 
of senior management at Finbar, 
including many that have been with 
our Group for more than a decade.  
We are proud of the Finbar small 
office culture that we have which 
plays a major part in ensuring 
our corporate agility and I thank 
them all for diligently working to 
successfully address the recent 
volatility and remaining motivated to 
succeed in sometimes unrewarding 
market conditions, seeing Finbar 
through the property cycles.

One area of focus during the slower market conditions we 
have experienced is to increase the promotional reach and 
possible sales channels for our projects.  Two such channels 
to improve this reach was the establishment of Finbar to 
Rent as a way to provide an improved offering to investors 
and to reach renters, many of which will likely be future 
property owners.  The other is in the establishment of a small 
in-house sales team to have a more intense knowledge, 
marketing control, and lead conversion to better leverage our 
significant project marketing spend.

Whilst established as a promotional tool and as a service 
offering to our important buyers, Finbar to Rent has 
completed its first full year of operation and is now managing 
360 Finbar developed properties and generated $197,000 
in net profit after tax for the financial year.  It is a business 
that has grown organically and will scale over time as new 
Finbar projects are completed.  Importantly, Finbar to Rent 
allows us to retain a strong one-to-one monthly relationship 
with existing buyers of our apartments, as well as provide 
a database for introducing potential future buyers to Finbar 
properties by way of marketing to tenants.

Finbar Sales achieved 136 sales to the value of $109.3 million 
in its first year of operation, writing $2.03 million dollars in 
commissions, and has sold 60% of the value sold at  
Civic Heart, 67% at Sabina, and 92% of all sales at Aurora. 
The commissions received from these sales have helped the 
team produce a first year net profit of $189,000. 

Finbar is a proud Western Australian property developer.  The 
overwhelming majority of our shareholders are long term 
holders who purchased shares in Finbar knowing that Finbar 
is a beneficiary of the success or otherwise of the West 
Australian economy.  We have become WA’s most trusted 
apartment developer because we continue to commit capital 
locally, to local projects, and continue to invest and develop 
projects in Western Australia through the economic cycle.

We have built enormous goodwill in Western Australia and 
people trust us to deliver on our promise to deliver quality 
accommodation, a better lifestyle, and value for money.

Finbar has made a long-term commitment to the local 
market, with long term management in place making 
investment decisions that are not based on short term 
factors. It is a business that has successfully operated this 
way over two and a half decades and I thank you for your 
ongoing support and interest in Finbar Group as we move into 
a far more encouraging market environment.

By any measure, the overwhelmingly positive feedback we 
receive on completion of Finbar projects by the buyers of 
our apartments reflects well on our people, our product, 
and our business.

4. 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 Recommendations.

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 39). 

4.2  Remuneration Committee

delegated to the Committee by the Board. The Remuneration Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on 
remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Executive Officers and Directors themselves of the Company and of other Group 
Executives. It is also responsible for share option schemes, incentive performance packages, superannuation entitlements, retirement

4.3  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.

4.3  Remuneration Report - Audited (continued)

4.3.1  Principles of Remuneration (continued) 

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.

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.

Performance Linked Remuneration

4.3.2  Directors’ and Executive Officers’ 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 2021, 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 2021 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 
2021 has taken place in accordance with this process.

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.

4.5  Risk Management

Oversight of the Risk Management Procedures

The Board has elected not to establish a separate Risk Committee to oversee risk management and instead the overall responsibility 
of risk management resides with the Board in its entirety.  In this regard, risk management considerations form part of the Board’s 
discussions at scheduled meetings.

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;

 - the quality and integrity of personnel (see below);

 - financial reporting accuracy and compliance with the financial reporting regulatory framework (see below); and

 - environmental regulation compliance (see page 46.).

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.

4.6  Ethical Standards

All Directors, Managers and Employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the 
reputation and performance of the Group.  

Conflict of Interest

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 does not receive the 
relevant Board papers and is not present at the meeting whilst the item is considered. Details of Director related entity transactions 
with the Company and the Group are set out in Note 28 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Code of Conduct

All Directors, Managers and Employees are expected to maintain high ethical standards including the following:

 - aligning the behaviour of the Board and Management with the code of conduct by maintaining appropriate core Group values 

and objectives;

 -  fulfilling responsibilities to shareholders by delivering shareholder value;

 - usefulness of financial information by maintaining appropriate accounting policies, practices and disclosure;

 - fulfilling responsibilities to clients, customers and consumers by maintaining high standards of product quality, service 

standards, commitments to fair value, and safety of goods produced;

 - employment practices such as occupational health and safety, employment opportunity, training and education support, 

community activities, sponsorships and donations;

 - responsibilities to the individual, such as privacy, use of privileged or confidential information, and conflict resolution;

 -  managing actual or potential conflicts of interest;

 - corporate opportunities such as preventing Directors and key executives from taking advantage of property, information or 

position for personal gain;

The Board is committed to ensuring that the Company complies with its continuous disclosure obligations and to facilitate this, has

Key transactions that contributed to the consolidated net profit of the Company for the 2021 financial year were the completion of 
Riverena, sales and settlements of completed stock held at 30 June 2020 as well as the ongoing rental of the Company’s commercial 
properties.  See below for further information on the Company’s project completions.

A copy of the Group’s Market Disclosure Policy is available on Finbar’s website www.finbar.com.au.

Review of Operations

4.8  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.

The principal activities of the Group during the course of the financial year continued to be property development and investment. 

The Group’s focus is the development of medium to high-density residential buildings and commercial developments in Western 
Australia by way of direct ownership, ownership through fully owned Subsidiaries or by equity accounted investees (through companies 
registered specifically to conduct the development). 

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

There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group during the financial year.

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 and construction activities to external parties.

The administration of the companies along with the operating, investment, and acquisitions decisions are made by Finbar’s Board and 
Management. The Company employs 27 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. 

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 2020 remains as 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.

6. Operating and Financial Review (continued) 

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 construction commencement of Civic Heart in South Perth and AT238 in East 
Perth as well as the imminent completion of the project at Daniella 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 
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.

2021 financial year until further notice. As such the DRP will not be active for the above mentioned dividend.

8. Events Subsequent to Reporting Date

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.

12. 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:

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 2021 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. Basis of Preparation

(a) 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 24th August 2021.

(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 2021 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.

Valuations are reported to the Audit Committee at each reporting date.

2. Basis of Preparation (continued)

(d) Use of Estimates and Judgements (continued)

(ii) Measurement of fair values (continued)

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.

(e) Changes in Accounting Policies

The Group’s accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial 
statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

(a) Basis of Consolidation

(i) 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.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(b) Financial Instruments

(i) 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) Property, Plant and Equipment

(i) 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.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

(i) Recognition and Measurement (continued)

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. 

(ii) 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.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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.

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) Impairment

(i) 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.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(g) Employee Benefits

(i) Superannuation Contributions

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) Revenue (continued)

(i) Property Sales (continued)

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.

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) Termination Benefits

(iii) Management Fee 

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.

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.

(j) 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.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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.

4. Determination of Fair Values (continued)

(a) Investment Property and Property carried at fair value (continued)

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.

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.

(b) Trade and Other Receivables

(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.

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).

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible 
assets other than goodwill.

5. Financial Risk Management

(o) New Standards and Interpretations 

Overview

A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2021 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. 

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:

 • credit risk

 • liquidity risk

 • market risk

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. 

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.

5. Financial Risk Management (continued)

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 4.80% (2020: 2.31%) 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 2021 the return was 3.51% (2020: 3.39%). In comparison the weighted average interest expense on 
interest-bearing borrowings (excluding liabilities with imputed interest) was 0.43% (2020: 1.74%).

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 
2021 financial year until further notice. As such the DRP will not be active for the above mentioned dividend.

6. Operating Segments

The Group operates predominantly in the property development sector and has identified 4 reportable segments, as described below, 
which are the Group’s three strategic business units, as well as the Corporate office. The strategic business units offer different 
products, and are managed separately because they require different technology, marketing strategies and have different types of 
customers. For each of the strategic business units, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews internal management reports 
on a regular basis. The following describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments:

 • Residential apartment development in Western Australia;

 • Commercial office/retail development in Western Australia;

 • Rental of property in Western Australia; and

 • Corporate costs includes supervision fees, management fees and net assets attributable to the corporate office.

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

The increase in the revaluation was as a result of an 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 2020 on existing properties, Pelago in 
Karratha and Fairlanes in East Perth and in June 2021 for Aurelia in South Perth. At June reporting period the Directors confirm that 
there is no change to the valuations undertaken in December 2020.

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 $97,925,000 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%; 

The estimated fair value would 
increase (decrease) if:

Weighted average 2.86%;

Void periods (average 7.8 months  
after the end of each lease);

Occupancy rate 84%;

Risk-adjusted discounted rates  
(weighted average 7.75%).

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).

75

Valuation Technique

Significant unobservable inputs

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 - $650 per sqm;

Occupancy rate 61% - 99%; and

Rent free period 28.5 months

Inter-relationship between key 
unobservable inputs and fair value 
measurement

The estimated fair value would 
increase (decrease) if:

Adopted capitalisation rate were 
higher (lower);

Gross rent per annum were higher 
(lower);

Occupancy rate were higher (lower); 
or

Lease term remaining were longer 
(shorter).

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 
$2,332,000 (2020: $1,166,000).

Nature and purpose of reserve

Asset revaluation reserve

Franked dividends declared or paid during the year were franked at the rate of 30%.

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

After 30 June 2021 the following dividend has been proposed by the Directors. The dividend has not been provided. The declaration 
and subsequent payment of dividends has no income tax consequences.

The financial effect of this dividend has not been brought to account in the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 
2021 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.

20. Earnings per Share

Basic Earnings per Share

The calculation of basic earnings per share at 30 June 2021 was based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of 
$8,847,000 (2020: $6,624,000) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year ended 30 June 2021 of

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the shareholders of Finbar Group Limited 

Report on the audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the Financial Report of Finbar 
Group Limited (the Company). 

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report 
of the Company is in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:  

•  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s 

financial position as at 30 June 2021and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on 
that date; and 

The Financial Report comprises:  

•  Consolidated statement of financial position as 

at 30 June 2021 

•  Consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income, Consolidated 
statement of changes in equity, and 
Consolidated statement of cash flows for the 
year then ended 

•  Notes including a summary of significant 

• 

complying with Australian Accounting 
Standards and the Corporations Regulations 
2001. 

accounting policies 

•  Directors’ Declaration. 

The Group consists of the Company and the 
entities it controlled at the year-end or from time 
to time during the financial year. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the 
audit of the Financial Report section of our report.  

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of 
the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
the Code.  

Key Audit Matters   

The Key Audit Matters we identified are: 

•  Valuation of Investment Properties; and 

•  Carrying Value of Inventory. 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our 
professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the Financial Report of the current 
period.  

These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of Investment Properties ($97.9million) 

Refer to Note 12 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Valuation of investment properties is a key 
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 involved 
KPMG Real Estate Specialists to inform our 
evaluation of the external and internal 
valuations for specific properties. 

•  Consideration of the economic impacts of 
COVID-19 on valuations including leasing 
and rental relief assumptions. 

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.  

•  Working with our KPMG Real Estate specialists, 
we assessed the appropriateness of the property 
valuation methodology adopted, key assumptions 
and supporting market commentary in the 
valuations for specific properties.  

•  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, 

based on our knowledge of the property portfolio 
and other published reports of industry 
commentators.  

•  We also tested, on a sample basis, the following 
key inputs to the valuations to existing lease 
contracts and published CPI statistics by the 
Australian Bureau of Statistics: 

−  Gross rent; 
−  Occupancy rate; 
−  Lease term remaining; and 
−  CPI. 

•  We assessed the appropriateness of the Group’s 

leasing and rental relief assumptions with 
consideration of the industry sector of the 
Group’s tenants.  

•  We assessed the disclosures in the financial 

report, using our understanding obtained from our 
testing, against accounting standards 
requirements.

Carrying value of Inventory ($139.8million) 

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 at the lower of 
cost and forecast net realisable value.  

Other Information 

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Finbar Group Limited’s annual reporting 
which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are 
responsible for the Other Information.  

The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Directors’ Report.  
The remaining Other Information consisting of Key Financial Metrics, Chairman’s Report, Managing 
Directors’ Report, Finbar Overview, Key Achievements, Development Overview and Finbar’s Investment 
Properties are expected to be made available to us after the date of the Auditor’s Report. 

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not 
express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the 
Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. 

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In 
doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report 
or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, 
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date 
of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors are responsible for: 

•  preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian 

Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 

• 

implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a 
true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error 

•  assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of 

the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters 
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend 
to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 
so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

• 

• 

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  

to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the 
basis of the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf.  This description forms part of our 
Auditor’s Report.
