Finbar. Setting the bar  
sky high since ’95.

Retrace your steps 27 years into the past to a time when a growing, 
sprawling city was aching for innovation. This is where the Finbar 
story began, small and humble, inspired by an ambitious vision to 
transform how Perth lives. Fast forward 75 landmark developments 
and over 6,655 apartments later, Finbar has evolved into WA’s largest 
apartment developer, trusted and celebrated for redefining the 
skyline of one of the most liveable cities in the world.

Report

The Chairman

JOHN CHAN

Finbar has delivered a net profit after tax of 
$10.98 million for the 12 months to 30 June 2022, 
which represents an increase of 24 per cent over 
the previous financial year.

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present Finbar Group’s Annual Report 
for 2022.

Finbar has delivered a net profit after tax of $10.98 million 
for the 12 months to 30 June 2022, which represents an 
increase of 24 per cent over the previous financial year.

It is the 26th consecutive profit reported by your Company, 
a record that gives your Board and management great 
satisfaction as we navigate the cyclical market conditions.

The Company ended the financial year with $33.2 
million in cash. In the current environment, I believe 
cash management is the most important area on which 
management must remain focused.

Our efforts in this area mean that, coupled with the cash 
commitments from our joint venture partners at our joint 
venture projects, the Company is adequately capitalised 
to fulfill all working capital commitments and contingency 
provisions for all projects currently under construction.

For shareholders, Finbar was able to announce a final 
dividend of $0.02 per share fully franked, taking the full 
year dividend to $0.04 per share.

$65.7 million were of completed stock, and 326 sales to 
the value of $227.8 million related to off-the-plan sales 
for projects both currently under construction or due to 
commence in the current financial year.

Last year I said that the market for apartment developers 
had become more difficult, with developers having to 
commence projects without the previously-expected levels 
of pre-sales.

Combined with the rapid increases we have experienced 
in construction and labour costs, this has caused a 
sharp decrease in the supply of new apartments into the 
domestic market.

Research from the Property Council of 
Australia found that more than a third of 
Perth’s approved pipeline of apartment 
developments – and a further $2.2 
billion of apartment projects yet to 
achieve development approval – are on 
hold and may not proceed.

Finbar recorded its strongest sales period since 2015 
with 443 lots sold to the value of $293.5 million. Of the 
443 sales contracts secured, 117 lots with a value of 

The reasons for this are many, but the escalation 
in costs of construction, materials and labour are 
contributing factors.

“

The Company ended the financial year with $33.2 
million in cash. In the current environment, I believe 
cash management is the most important area on which 
management must remain focused.

”

Finbar has a competitive advantage in this market, 
because of its cash management and balance sheet 
strength and its ability and preference to enter joint 
ventures with similarly minded and financially strong 
partners. This has enabled it to continue to commence 
major projects, albeit with a lower gearing of bank finance 
than you would expect in a more normalised market.

Our strong focus on cash flow means we continue to 
be selective in site selection and in choosing potential 
joint venture partners for future projects. Our current 
pipeline of projects is sufficient for the next five 
years and we are in a position where we do not feel 
under pressure to enter agreements or to acquire 
development sites.

It means we will be delivering Finbar apartment 
projects that we have already commenced into a market 
that is forecast to be under-supplied this financial year 
and next.

I said last year, and it remains my strong belief, that a 
lower number of apartments available for sale in the 
market in coming years will lead to price appreciation. 
The broader Western Australian economy remains 
strong with record high employment, increased 
immigration and the early signs of wages growth.

With the cost of materials and labour continuing 
to rise, the prices for apartments must increase to 
compensate. I believe we are already seeing evidence 
of this in Western Australia, even with the recent 
increases in interest rates.

Finbar is not immune to the strong increases in 
development costs for its projects, although with our 
dedicated exclusive builder Hanssen, we have worked 
to mitigate these where we can through the forward 
purchases of bulk materials and scheduling of major 
projects. Although we have experienced increased 
costs and slower construction progress, it has been at 
significantly lower rates than industry peers.

As a result, I expect Finbar to benefit from a lift in sales 
prices for its apartments as it completes its projects 
this financial year and into the 2024 financial year.

6,655 apartments since 1994 
which equates to providing a  
home for more than 20,000  
Western Australian residents. 

Finbar applies very strict criteria and metrics to 
potential acquisitions since it first commenced 
operations and this has served the company well.

Finbar has developed more than 6,655 apartments 
since 1994 which equates to providing a home for 
more than 20,000 Western Australian residents. I am 
pleased that our reputation for quality, for delivery and 
for customer service, which we have built up over many 
years, has helped us continue to perform and deliver 
projects in the current challenging environment.

I want to take the opportunity to thank our builder, 
Hanssen, our joint venture partners and our banking 
partners for their ongoing support.

Message from 
The Managing Director

DARREN PATEMAN

Approximately $657 million in completed project 
value should be delivered to the market in the 2024 
financial year as Finbar completes Civic Heart, 
Aurora, and The Point. 

Finbar has this year delivered a net profit after tax 
of $10.98 million which is a pleasing result given the 
challenging business environment and a 12-month period 
where the company has been focused on the construction 
and delivery of some very significant scale projects.

Despite having a relative lack of completed product 
available, Finbar achieved its strongest sales period since 
2015 with 443 lots sold with a value of $293.5 million. Sales 
were boosted by the completion and settlement of 89 sold 
lots to the value of $41.5 million at the Company’s wholly 
owned Dianella Apartments project in the first half of the 
financial year along with the sell down of all remaining 
residential lots across all other completed projects.

Of the 443 sales contracts secured, 117 lots to the value 
of $65.7 million relate to the sale of completed stock, and 
326 sales to the value of $227.8 million relate to off-the-
plan sales for projects both under construction – AT238 
in Perth, Civic Heart in South Perth, Aurora in Applecross 
and The Point in Rivervale – and at Garden Towers in East 
Perth which is due to commence early in the second half 
of the current financial year.

The Company has just 32 lots remaining for sale at Dianella, 
with no other completed residential stock available.

Finbar has achieved healthy sales of off-the-plan 
apartments at two of its most recent projects – The Point 
and Garden Towers having sold apartments to the value of 

$66.9 million at The Point, with apartments with a finished 
value of approximately $34.0 million remaining. The Point 
is scheduled for completion in the 2024 financial year.

At Garden Towers, which was released to the market 
towards the end of the 2022 financial year, Finbar had 
achieved $52.7 million in pre-sales at the record date, 
with approximately $196.5 million remaining for sale and 
works expected to commence in the second half of the 
Financial Year.

Finbar has projects valued at more than $750 million 
currently under construction and scheduled for delivery 
over coming years.

Like the rest of the industry, Finbar has had to deal 
with increasing costs of materials, issues with labour 
availability and other supply chain constraints.

The Company has worked closely with its primary 
contractor to mitigate these cost increases, however 
Finbar projects have also seen the increased costs and 
slower construction progress that is common in the 
sector, albeit at lower rates than industry peers.

Finbar is comfortable that any cost increases across 
its projects are within previously provided feasibility 
contingencies. It also expects to protect margins as these 
projects are completed from the continued lifting of sales 
prices as it delivers new product into a market that will 
have limited supply and healthy demand.

6

As at June 30 2022, Finbar held $33.2 million in 
cash and is adequately capitalised to meet all of its 
working capital commitments, including contingency 
provisions, for all of its projects currently under 
construction, as well as pay a fully franked final 
dividend of $0.02 to shareholders.

In the current financial year Finbar will complete the 
AT238 apartment tower on the eastern edge of the 
Perth CBD with settlements likely to occur in the 
second half of the financial year.

Current elevated construction costs in Western 
Australia, and in particular regional Western Australia, 
means the risk of any viable new apartments being 
developed in Karratha is minimal and as Finbar 
continues to own a large portion of the most attractive 
and well positioned rental apartments in the city that 
is unlikely to be replicated in the foreseeable future.

Finbar’s focus in the current financial year is the 
successful completion and delivery of AT238 and 
progressing the construction of Civic Heart, Aurora 
and The Point.

As at June 30, Finbar had sold 

apartments valued at $35 million 

at AT238, with approximately $62 

million remaining for sale. Along with 

the remaining apartments yet to be 

sold at Dianella, these will be the 

Civic Heart

only completed apartments available 

for sale this financial year.

Based on current timing of projects, the Company 

anticipates revenue for the 2023 financial year will be 

second half weighted with the completion of AT238 

and the revenues for pre-sold units anticipated to be 

received in February 2023.

Approximately $657 million in completed project value 

should be delivered to the market in the 2024 financial 

year as Finbar completes Civic Heart, Aurora, and The 

Point. Whilst these projects are still at early stages of 

construction progress we currently expect them to be 

completed in the 2024 financial year.

A contributor to Finbar’s 2022 financial year profit 

was an increase in valuation in the Company’s 

Karratha apartments of $5.1 million (after provision 

for taxation).

Finbar developed the Pelago apartments in 2012 

and has held about 100 apartments as an ongoing 

investment since then, generating a strong rental 

income stream for the company. The 2022 financial 

year saw rental revenue for the apartments increase 

by 6 per cent.

At Civic Heart, all sub-basement and most podium 
works have been successfully completed with the first 
(and smaller) tower now becoming a feature of the 
South Perth skyline and the larger tower to soon be 
visible from the streetscape.  The current estimate for 
completion of this major project is in the second half 
of FY 2024.

Basement structural work is well underway at Aurora 
and The Point, with both of these projects also 
expected to be completed in FY 2024.

In closing, I want to echo the sentiments of our 
Chairman John Chan, in thanking our major project 
finance partners Commonwealth Bank and Westpac 
Banking Corporation, who continue to provide strong 
support to Finbar.

I also want to thank senior management and staff 
across the group who have all contributed to the 
results Finbar has reported despite the challenging 
and difficult operating conditions being experienced by 
businesses closely linked to the construction sector.

Thank you for your ongoing support and interest in 
Finbar Group.

Pelago continues to be an attractive wholly owned 

asset for Finbar where it is seeing strong increases in 

rental rates and high long-term occupancy.

At Finbar, we’re committed to being a powerful and positive social force 

by continuously searching for innovative new ways to enhance the way 

Perth residents live - and it all starts by protecting and enhancing the 

natural environments we build in. With the UN estimating that cities 

produce 75% of our GHG emissions in transport and buildings, Finbar 

has a responsibility to take action for the benefit of us all.

BUILD SUSTAINABLY.  
LIVE SUSTAINABLY.

We are proudly a market leader in the design and development of 
apartment projects with features and materials that help us protect 
biodiversity, reduce future energy and water requirements, and minimise 
our carbon footprint. By adopting a carbon neutral approach in selected 
new developments, Finbar apartments are not only built sustainably – 
they’re lived in sustainably too.

Our impact is vast, from reducing the destruction of native and 
agricultural land associated with greenfield development, to decreasing 
our dependence on cars, cutting the volume of waste during the 
construction process, and finding new ways to lower embodied and 
operational carbon, estimated to account for 40% of total emissions.

Finbar’s use of over 1 million sqm of Bubbledeck throughout the years equates to:

206,100m3 
Site concrete saved

55,600t  
Tonnes of CO2 saved

18,350t 
Foundation load 

27,800 
Number of cars off the  
road for one year

2,783,000  
Trees equivalent to  
growing for one year

32,900 
Ready Mix truck trips saved

BUILT FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT

Our mission to achieve significant reductions in carbon emissions 
doesn’t stop at design. We’re always searching for new ways 
to adopt contemporary construction techniques that make a 
meaningful impact to our carbon footprint.

We’re proud to be the first developer in Australia to adopt 
BubbleDeck concrete. By capitalising on the lightweight strength 
of recycled plastic balls, this innovative material has allowed 
us to dramatically decrease the concrete and steel required to 
structurally support each apartment floor. It may seem small, but 
changes to the way we build such as this can have profound positive 
flow on effects. We’ve reduced our concrete use by around a third, 
dramatically decreasing the number of mixer truck visits required 
for each project. This will protect our environment, for future 
generations to come. 

As a result of using BubbleDeck 
concrete alone, Finbar has unlocked 
incredible environmental benefits:

off our roads for one year.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN 

At Finbar, we’re continuously pushing the limits of design to deliver 
future-focussed apartments with the highest energy efficiency on the 
market. We keep up to date with cutting-edge design that embraces 
innovative material selection, from taking advantage of the superior 
thermal properties of concrete to the latest advances in glazing. The 
result is exceptional residences that offer year-round comfort, with less 
reliance on energy-draining heating and cooling. The proof is in the 
NatHERS ratings, with Finbar developments surging past the minimum 
6 stars to routinely achieve an 8-star average.

MODERN AMENITIES 

Finbar developments are designed for tomorrow. We 
predict how residents want to live, sleep, travel, eat, 
exercise, work and unwind. From guest studios, parcel 
lockers, virtual golf driving ranges, putting greens 
and bike-share, to glamping experiences, zoom room 
pods, kids play areas, pet play and wash zones, we’re 
continuously enhancing and evolving our amenities over 
the years, customised to each development, to treat 
residents to the most unique living experiences. 

Private glamping nook

Dog play area

LIFE.  
EXCITEMENT.  
ENERGY.

Finbar apartments are more than places to live - they 
make places come alive. We design our developments 
in the broader context of the locale, spilling out 
and activating streetscapes with food, music and 
experiences that draw in residents and visitors from 
near and far. Perth is now one of the most liveable 
cities in the world – and Finbar is proud to play a part in 
evolving the city into its next iteration.

WINNING RESPECT

At Finbar, we work incredibly hard to earn the trust 
of the WA community, our industry peers, and 
stakeholders. We’ve set the bar sky high, challenging 
ourselves to constantly innovate, evolve, and reinvent 
to help redefine the skyline in Perth.

With every successful project, we build belief. 
Finbar’s reputation continues to grow on the back of 
endorsement by respected industry voices, from the 
Urban Development Institute of Australia recognising 
our exceptional projects, to City of Perth paying 
tribute to Finbar’s nearly two-decade contribution 
to the Perth CBD. And we’re not finished yet. As we 
evolve our portfolio into the future, our ambition 
remains stronger than ever – to remain WA’s largest 
and most trusted apartment developer. 

AWARDS & 
ACHIEVEMENTS 

Winning awards isn’t why we build. It simply reflects 
our commitment to building better lifestyles with 
respect and appreciation for all the hard work and 
dedication of the entire Finbar team. We’re proud to 
be recognised with a suite of awards over the years.

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 43).

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.

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

4.  Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

4.3  Remuneration Report - Audited (continued)

4.3.1  Principles of Remuneration (continued) 

Long-term Incentive

Incentive shares or options issued under the Employee Incentive Plan 2013 or Director Share Plan 2014 are made in accordance with 
thresholds set in the plans approved by shareholders at the relevant Annual General Meeting, subject to the Board’s discretion.

Short-term and Long-term Incentive Structure

The Remuneration Committee considers that the above performance-linked remuneration structure is generating the desired 
outcome. The evidence of this is in respect to the long term historical profit and dividend growth of the Company, coupled with the long 
term retention of key management personnel resulting in the retention of Company intellectual property.

Consequences of Performance on Shareholders Wealth

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Remuneration Committee has regard to the following 
indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years:

Total comprehensive income

5.46%

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. 

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.

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 $213,811 per annum. 

Remuneration levels are reviewed annually through a process that considers individual, segment and overall performance of the 
Group. In addition, where appropriate,  external consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure the Directors’ and Senior Executives’ 
remuneration is competitive in the market place. A Senior Executive’s remuneration is also reviewed on promotion.

Performance Linked Remuneration

Performance linked remuneration includes short-term incentives (STI) and can include long-term incentives (LTI), which are designed 
to reward key management personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The short-term incentive is 
an ‘at risk’ bonus provided in the form of cash, whilst the long-term incentive is provided as shares or options over ordinary shares of 
the Company under the rules of the Employee Incentive Plan 2013 and Director Share Plan 2014.  As at 30 June 2022, 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 2022 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 
2022 has taken place in accordance with this process.

The Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer have provided assurance, in writing to the Board that the Group’s financial

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.

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;

Australia by way of direct ownership, ownership through fully owned Subsidiaries or by equity accounted investees (through companies 
registered specifically to conduct the development).

Trading in General Company Securities by Directors and Employees

The key elements of the Trading in Company Securities by Directors and Employees policy are:

 • identification of those restricted from trading - Directors and Senior Executives may acquire shares in the Company, but are 

prohibited from dealing in Company 

 • shares or exercising options:

 - within two trading days after either the release of the Company’s half-year and annual results to the Australian Securities 

Exchange (‘ASX’), the Annual General Meeting or any major announcement;

 - whilst in possession of price sensitive information not yet released to the market;

 • raising the awareness of legal prohibitions including transactions with colleagues and external advisers;

 • raising awareness that the Company prohibits those restricted from trading in Company shares as described above from entering 

into transactions such as margin loans that could trigger a trade during a prohibited period; and

 • requiring details to be provided of the trading activities of the Directors of the Company.

4.7  Communication with Shareholders

The Board is committed to ensuring that the Company complies with its continuous disclosure obligations and to facilitate this, has 
approved a Continuous Disclosure Policy that applies to all Group personnel, including the Directors and Senior Executives. The Board 
seeks to promote investor confidence by seeking to ensure that trading in the Company’s shares take place in an informed market.

Finbar provides information about itself, its activities and operations, and its governance via its website www.finbar.com.au.  

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

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.

Dividends for 2022 were fully franked and it is expected that dividends in future years will continue to be fully franked.

Key transactions that contributed to the consolidated net profit of the Company for the 2022 financial year were the completion of 
Dianella Apartments, sales and settlements of completed stock held at 30 June 2021 as well as the ongoing rental of the Company’s 
commercial properties.  See below for further information on the Company’s project completions.

Review of Operations

Finbar Group Limited’s (‘Finbar’ or ‘the Company’) core business lies in the development of medium to high density residential 
apartments and commercial property within the state of Western Australia. Finbar carries out its development projects in its own right 
or through incorporated special purpose entities and equity accounted investees, of which the Company either directly or indirectly 
holds interests in project profitability ranging between 50% and 100%.

The Company operates predominantly within the Perth CBD and surrounding areas.

Finbar’s business model involves the acquisition of suitable development land either directly or by way of an incorporated Special 
Purpose Vehicle or by development agreements with Land Owners.  Equity partners are sought to allow the Company to leverage into 
larger development projects to take advantage of the benefits of economies of scale, and to help spread project risk.

Finbar outsources its design 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 28 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.

Future Projects

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, supply chain costs, 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. 

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 Aurora in Applecross and The Point in Rivervale 
as well as the completion of the project at Dianella positions the Company to benefit from the opportunities that may arise from 
decreased competition and general industry stress. The ability to source new viable development opportunities is central to Finbar’s 
ongoing success and the Board and Management has demonstrated a long track record of this ability.

The Board and Management control the Company’s key risks through the implementation of control measures which include; land 
acquisitions generally secured without the use of debt funding, development funding which is carried out utilising senior bank funding 
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.

In accordance with Rule 13 of the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP), the Directors have elected to suspend the DRP in the 
2022 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 the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, increasing inflation rates and cash rates, there is continuing economic uncertainties which may 
influence the Australian economy and property market, and consequently impact 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

11. Indemnification and Insurance of Officers and Auditors

Indemnification

The Company has agreed to indemnify the current Directors of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Equity Accounted Investees, against 
all liabilities to another person (other than the Company or related body corporate) that may arise from their position as Directors of 
the Company, its Subsidiaries and Equity Accounted Investees, except where the liability arises out of the conduct involving a lack of 
good faith.

Insurance Premiums

During the financial year the Company has paid insurance premiums of $71,000 (2021: $55,000) in respect of Directors and Officers 
liability and legal expenses insurance contracts for Directors and Officers, including Executive Officers of the Company. The insurance 
premiums relate to:

 • Costs and expenses incurred by the relevant Officers in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal and whatever their 

outcome; and

 • Other liabilities that may arise from their position, with the exception of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty or improper use 

of information or position to gain a personal advantage.

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:

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. 

 • 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 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. 

 • 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:

10. Directors’ Interests

The relevant interest of each Director in the shares and options over such instruments by the companies within the Group, as notified

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)For the Year Ended 30 June 20221. Reporting Entity

Finbar Group Limited (‘the Company’) is a public company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered 
office is Level 6, 181 Adelaide Terrace, East Perth, WA 6004. The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for 
the year ended 30 June 2022 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 23rd August 2022.

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

(b) Basis of Measurement

The Group’s accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021.

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; 

 • investment property is measured at fair value; and

 • property under Property, Plant and Equipment 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 2022 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

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.

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.

(iv) Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

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.

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.

(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

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

(i) Recognition and Measurement (continued) 

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 inventory 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

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 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.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

(iv) Revaluation Model for Property

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

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.

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.

(v) Depreciation and Amortisation

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

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  

40 years

 • Office furniture and equipment, fixtures and fittings  

5 - 25 years

 • Plant and equipment  

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.

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

(d) Investment Property

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets include the 
cost of materials, direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working order for its intended use, the 
costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs (see 
below). 

Items classified as property are measured at fair value. Refer Note 3(c)(iv).

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major 
components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the 
carrying amount of property, plant & equipment and are recognised net within “Other income” in profit or loss.

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

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(g) Employee Benefits

(i) Superannuation Contributions

Obligations for contributions to superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in profit or loss.

(ii) Long-term Employee Benefits

The Group’s obligation in respect of long-term service benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for 
their service in the current and prior periods plus related on costs; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the 
fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-rated or corporate 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.

Inventory is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

(iii) Termination Benefits

 • 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 Instruments, 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 and 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’.

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.

The allowance and any changes in the expected credit loss are recognised as impairment gain and losses in profit or loss.

(i) Revenue 

(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”).   

Under AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, 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.

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.

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.

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.

For projects with an external landowner when the Group is engaged as a property developer of the land, the Group is deemed to be 
acting as the principal in the transaction and as such, property sales revenue and cost of sale are grossed up by the land cost base.

The cost of sales allocated to individual units is based on the estimated overall selling price for the project and is updated at each 
reporting date.

(i) Revenue (continued)

(ii) Supervision Fees

Supervision fees represents the management fees charged to the Equity Accounted Investees.  Revenue is recognised in profit or 
loss in proportion to the stage of project completion which is by reference to an assessment of the costs incurred and the costs to be 
incurred. Revenue is measured based on the contracted amount and constrained to the amount that is highly probable.

(iii) Management Fee 

Management fees represents the management fee charged to the shareholders of Equity Accounted Investees. 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 16 Leases. 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, interest on loans to Equity Accounted Investees, dividend income, 
changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and gains on hedging instruments that are recognised 
in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is 
recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities 
is the ex-dividend date.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, 
impairment losses recognised on financial assets, and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Borrowing 
costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the 
effective interest method. 

(k) Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent 
that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at 
the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary 
differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and equity accounted investees to the 
extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable 
temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be 
applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 
reporting date. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they 
relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current 
tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and  deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each 
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the 
related dividend is recognised. The Group does not distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its shareholders.

(l) Goods and Services Tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost 
of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO 
is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(l) Goods and Services Tax (continued)

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(m) Earnings per Share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the 
profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options 
granted to employees.

(n) Segment Reporting

Determination and Presentation of Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur 
expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating 
segment’s operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources 
to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated 
on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Group’s headquarters), head office 
expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.

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

(o) New Standards and Interpretations 

A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2022 and earlier application is permitted; however, 
the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

The potential impact of the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations has been considered and they are not 
expected to have a significant impact on the financial statement. 

4. Determination of Fair Values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following 
methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes 
specific to that asset or liability.

(a) Investment Property and Property carried at fair value

An external, independent valuation company, having appropriately recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the 
location and category of the property being valued, values the Group’s investment property portfolio and property no less than once 
every three years. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on 
the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the 
parties had each acted knowledgeably and willingly.

In the absence of current prices in an active market, the valuations are prepared by considering the aggregate of the estimated cash 
flows expected to be received from renting out the property. A yield that reflects the specific risks inherent in the net cash flows is then 
applied to the net annual cash flows to arrive at the property valuation. 

Valuations reflect, where appropriate: the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or 
likely to be in occupation after letting vacant accommodation, the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between 
the Group and the lessee, and the remaining economic life of the property. When rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with 
anticipated reversionary increases, it is assumed that all notices and where appropriate counter-notices, have been served validly and 
within the appropriate time.

Properties that have not been independently valued as at the balance sheet date are carried at fair value by way of directors valuation.

(b) Trade and Other Receivables

5. Financial Risk Management (continued)

Trade and Other Receivables (continued)

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.

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.

(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).

5. Financial Risk Management

Overview

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

 • credit risk

 • liquidity risk

 • market risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for 
measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these 
consolidated financial statements.

Risk Management Framework

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board is 
responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies.

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and 
controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect 
changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, 
aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and 
procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. 

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual 
obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. 

Trade and Other Receivables

The nature of the Group’s business means that most sales contracts occur on a pre-sales basis, before significant expenditure has 
been incurred on the development. All pre-sale contracts require a deposit at the point of entering into the contract, these funds 
being held in trust independently of the Group. Generally, pre-sale contracts are executed on an unconditional basis. Possession of 
a development property does not generally pass until such time as the financial settlement of the property has been completed, and 
title to a development property does not pass until the financial settlement of the property has been completed. Where possession of 
the development property is granted prior to settlement, title to the property remains with the Group until financial settlement of the 
property has been completed.  

The demographics of the Group’s customer base has little or no influence on credit risk. Approximately 11.82% (2021: 4.80%) of the 
Group’s revenue is attributable to multiple sales transactions with single customers.

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. The trade and other receivables are mainly from related parties or being eligible for set-off against amounts owed to the 
borrower.

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 2022 the return was 4.52% (2021: 3.51%). In comparison the weighted average interest expense on 
interest-bearing borrowings (excluding liabilities with imputed interest) was 0.47% (2021: 0.43%).

The Group’s debt-to-capital ratio at the end of the financial year was as follows:

Interest-bearing debt

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 
2022 financial year until further notice. As such the DRP will not be active for the above mentioned dividend.

6. Operating Segments (continued)

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 2021 on existing properties, Pelago in 
Karratha and Fairlanes in East Perth and in June 2022 for Aurelia in South Perth. At June reporting period the Directors confirm that 
there is no change to the valuations undertaken in December 2021.

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 $102,189,000 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

Expected market rental growth  
0.00% - 4.50%; 

The estimated fair value would 
increase (decrease) if: 

Weighted average 2.74%; 

Void periods (average 8.2 months after  
the end of each lease); 

Expected market rental growth were 
higher (lower); 

Void periods were shorter (longer); 

Occupancy rate 89%; 

Occupancy rate were higher (lower); 

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.

Inter-relationship between key

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  
7.00% - 10.00%; 

The estimated fair value would 
increase (decrease) if:         

Gross rent per annum  
$450 - $668 per sqm; 

Adopted capitalisation rate were 
higher (lower);        

Occupancy rate 71% - 98%; and             

Rent free period 30 months

Gross rent per annum were higher 
(lower);  

Occupancy rate were higher (lower);

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

 11,652

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 (2021: $2,332,000).

Nature and purpose of reserve

Asset revaluation reserve

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

2022 financial year until further notice. As such the DRP will not be active for the above mentioned dividend.

Cash Flow Sensitivity Analysis for Variable Rate Instruments

None of the Group’s trade or other receivables are past due and based on historic default rates and security held the Group believes 
that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of trade or other receivables.

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates would have (decreased)/increased the Group’s equity and profit or loss by the amounts 
shown below. This analysis assumes that all variables remain constant. The analysis is on the same basis for 2022.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

Unsecured shareholder loans

Due to the short term nature of these financial rights and obligations, their carrying values approximate to their fair values.

Long term loans are secured and interest bearing at bank business interest rates.

Cash and short term deposits

The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets.

Bank loans

The carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The Directors are of the opinion that provisions are not required in respect of these matters, as it is not probable that a future sacrifice 
of economic benefits will be required or the amount is capable of reliable measurement.

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, increasing inflation rates and cash rates, there is continuing economic uncertainties which may 
influence the Australian economy and property market, and consequently impact 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.

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 2022 and 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 2022. 

•  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

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 these requirements.  

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.

Refer to Note 12 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The key audit matter 

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

•  Significance of the balance to the financial 

statements (30% of total assets); 

• 

• 

Judgement required by the Group 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 external 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; and  

•  Consideration of the economic impacts of 

COVID-19 on valuations including leasing and 
rental relief assumptions.  

Working with our KPMG Real Estate specialists 
our procedures included: 
•  We assessed the Group’s policies for the 
valuation of investment properties against 
the requirements of the accounting standards 
and our understanding of the business. 

•  We obtained an understanding of the Group’s 

process regarding the valuation of 
investment property, including specific 
considerations of the impact of COVID-19. 

•  We assessed the scope, objectivity, and 

competence of the Group’s external valuer. 

•  We assessed the property valuation 

methodology adopted by the Group, key 
assumptions and market commentary in the 
valuations for specific properties against 
accepted industry practices, using the nature 
of the properties, and requirements of the 
accounting standards. 

•  We compared the valuations prepared using 

the capitalisation of income valuation 
technique to the alternate discounted 
cashflow method valuation where prepared 
by the Group’s external valuers in December 
2021. 

•  We compared the Group’s external 

valuations in December 2021 and the 
director’s internal valuations in June 2022, to 
recent sales evidence and other published 
reports of industry commentators. 

•  We challenged the capitalisation rates applied 
by the Group, 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:

recording inventory at the lower of cost and 
net realisable value. 

•  We compared forecast selling prices to total 
costs incurred to date and forecast costs of

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. 

•  We assessed the disclosures in the financial 
report, using our understanding obtained 
from our testing, against accounting 
standards requirements. 

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 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 
and will 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.
