1.0  IntroducIng Heartland

Heartland was formed in January 2011 through the merger of three trusted New Zealand 
brands, CBS Canterbury, MARAC and Southern Cross Building Society. In August 2011 we 
welcomed PGG Wrightson Finance (PWF) into the Heartland fold. Our Retail and Business 
divisions now display the fresh white and green of the Heartland brand, while we continue 
to use the familiar PWF and MARAC brands in some areas of the business.

HeARTlANd’s vIsIoN

With roots stretching back to 1875, Heartland has a proud history of helping New Zealanders 
to succeed. Our vision is to drive prosperity for small-to-medium sized businesses, farms 
and families in heartland communities.

supporting our Communities

Heartland supports a number of local events and initiatives in the communities in which 
we  operate.  We  have  always  been  committed  to  local  communities  and  New  Zealand 
as a whole and that commitment will continue and grow in the future. Below are a few 
examples. 

MId CANTeRBuRy NeTBAll CeNTRe – AsHBuRToN
Since the 1920s, the Mid Canterbury Netball Centre has been a hub of the Ashburton community. Responsible for the 
development of netball in the Mid Canterbury area, the Centre makes the sport accessible to more than 1,300 players 
of all ages and abilities. 

Heartland has supported the Centre since 2004 (previously through CBS Canterbury). Our contribution helps provide 
and maintain the amenities the Centre offers. We are proud to be associated with such an integral part of Ashburton.

“Most of Mid Canterbury Netball is run on the goodwill of members and volunteers. The contribution Heartland makes goes 
a long way towards ensuring we can continue offering the same great facilities and coaching to players, umpires, and 
administrators at all levels, and makes what we do so rewarding.” – Rosemary Adlam, President

THe CHAMPIoN CeNTRe – CHRIsTCHuRCH
The Champion Centre is committed to providing high quality family-based early intervention services for children with 
developmental delays. 

The Centre runs a ‘Learning Through Music’ programme, which encourages children to use music as a communication 
tool, building self-esteem and reinforcing the feeling of inclusion. Heartland is very pleased to have been able to support 
this great programme that helps many of the 200 children and families who use the Centre every year. 

“The support that Heartland has given the Centre has been fantastic. They recognise that all children in New Zealand 
should  experience  the  opportunity  to  learn  their  full  potential  –  no  matter  what.  Their  belief  in  the  Centre  and  their 
generosity are greatly appreciated.” – Dr Susan Foster-Cohen, Director

MulTIPle sCleRosIs soCIeTy – AuCklANd 
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, and affects 1 in 1,000 New Zealanders.

The MS Society of Auckland wanted to launch a new neuro-physiotherapy assessment programme to help people manage 
their symptoms and be inspired to be more in control of their health, and Heartland was able to help.

Heartland’s donation provided the funding for the programme and as a direct result, 24 people diagnosed with MS were 
able to develop firm plans to move forward and live their lives to their true potential. 

“Your funding made a huge difference. Thank you for being so willing to help with this important programme, we are very 
grateful indeed and the feedback we’ve received has been fantastic.” – Gary MacMahon, General Manager

BoWls MATuA – TAuRANGA
Bowls Matua has been part of the Tauranga community for nearly 50 years.

Providing a friendly atmosphere for members, visitors, local students and tourists, the Club prides itself on making bowls 
accessible to all, and provides additional support for members with its active social calendar. Heartland’s involvement 
enables the running of two club greens and tournaments.

“The generosity of Heartland enables us to provide a top-class facility to everyone who visits the Club. Bowls is obviously 
very important to us, and without Heartland’s support it would be a lot more difficult for us to offer this great, fun, sporting 
and leisure pursuit to the community.” – Mike Boyce, Club President

3.0  ChAIrMAN ANd MANAgINg dIrECTOr’S rEpOrT

In our first full year as a merged entity, Heartland posted 
a	 Net	 Profit	 After	 Tax	 of	 $23.6m,	 including	 one-off	 tax	
benefits	of	$9.6m,	up	from	$7.1m	in	the	previous	year	to	
30 June 2011.

Net  Profit  Before  Tax  (NPBT),  which  excludes  the  
one-off	 tax	 benefits,	 was	 $20.3m	 for	 the	 full	 year	 ended	
30	June	2012,	up	$8.7m	from	$11.6m	for	the	previous	year	
ended	30	June	2011.	$14.7m	of	NPBT	was	delivered	in	the	
second	half	of	the	year,	up	from	$5.6m	in	the	first	half,	an	
increase	of	$9.1m	or	163%.	The	improvement	in	the	second	
half  of  the  year  was  driven  by  improved  margins  and 
reduced costs, a trend we expect to continue. Earnings Per 
Share	was	$0.06	calculated	on	weighted	average	shares.

Heartland’s  balance  sheet  strengthened  during  the 
period.  Net  finance  receivables	 were	 $2,078.3m	 at	 
30	 June	 2012	 compared	 to	 $1,707.3m	 at	 30	 June	 2011.	
The  increase  was  largely  due  to  the  acquisition  of  PGG 
Wrightson Finance Limited (PWF) on 31 August 2011. Net 
finance  receivables  remained  relatively  unchanged  from 
their	31	December	2011	level	of	$2,075.2m,	as	“core”	asset	
growth  in  the  Business,  Rural  and  Consumer  divisions 
was offset by reductions in Non-Core Property and Retail 
(where  the  mortgage  book  declined),  in  what  remains  a 
competitive environment.

Cash  and  cash  equivalents	 reduced	 from	 $267.2m	 at	 
30	June	2011	to	$89.7m	at	30	June	2012,	as	excess	liquidity	
held in the lead-up to the expiry of the Crown guarantee 
(31 December 2011) was utilised as planned. 

Borrowings	increased	from	$1,787.5m	at	30	June	2011	to	
$1,939.5m	at	30	June	2012,	due	to	the	acquisition	of	PWF	
and	the	assumption	of	$408.8m	of	deposit	obligations	by	
Heartland. This was offset by the reduction in liquidity and 
repayment	of	the	$92.3m	PWF	Bond.

Total  equity	 increased	 by	 $78.4m	 to	 $374.8m	 as	 at	 
30  June  2012  due  largely  to  a  capital  raising  associated 
with  the  PWF  acquisition  in  the  period  that  raised  a  net 
$55.9m,	combined	with	the	profitability	noted	above.	The	
equity	ratio	was	16%,	up	from	14%	at	30	June	2011.

Net  Tangible  Assets	 (NTA)	 increased	 from	 $270.1m	
to	 $343.7m	 (following	 the	 capital	 raising	 and	 PWF	
acquisition)	 –	 on	 a	 per	 share	 basis	 NTA	 was	 $0.88	 at	 
30	June	2012	compared	to	$0.90	at	30	June	2011.	

Net operating Income	(NOI)	increased	to	$94.9m	in	the	
year	ended	30	June	2012,	up	from	$70.5m	in	the	preceding	
year ended 30 June 2011. The increase in NOI was mostly 
attributable to the acquisition of PWF on 31 August 2011 
and  lower  cost  of  funds,  both  through  lower  funding 
margins and a reduction in surplus liquidity held.

NOI	increased	by	$5.1m	to	$50.0m	in	the	last	six	months	of	
the financial year compared to the first six months of the 
financial year.

operating  costs	 increased	 by	 $19.9m	 to	 $65.5m	 for	 the	
year  ended  30  June  2012  compared  to  the  prior  year 
ended 30 June 2011. This is due to six months of MARAC 
costs  and  six  months  of  Heartland  costs  being  included 
for  the  year  ended  30  June  2011,  whereas  12  months  of 
Heartland costs and 10 months of PWF costs are included 
for the year ended 30 June 2012.

Notwithstanding  this,  operational  efficiency  improved, 
with  average  operating  expenses  as  a  percentage  of 
NOI	 reducing	 from	 80%	 in	 the	 six	 months	 through	 to	
31	 December	 2011,	 to	 60%	 for	 the	 six	 months	 through	
to  30  June  2012.  This  was  delivered  both  through  cost 
reductions and improvements in NOI. We will continue our 
focus on minimising fixed costs as we enter the 2012-2013 
financial year.

Impaired  asset  expense  was	 $5.6m	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 
30	 June	 2012,	 down	 from	 $13.3m	 for	 the	 year	 ended	
30  June  2011,  due  to  the  continued  benefit  of  the  Real 
Estate Credit Limited (RECL)4 management contract and 
improvement in the quality of the core book, in particular 
the  Business  book.  The  RECL  Agreement  was  regarded 
as  fully  utilised  as  at  30  June  2012  –  the  future  value  of 
expected	claims	has	reached	the	$30.0m	limit.

Investment  properties  held  on  balance  sheet  increased 
by	$21.0m	to	$55.5m	during	the	year	as	Heartland	sought	
to	improve	its	security	position.	A	$3.9m	decrease	in	the	
fair  value  of  these  investment  properties  occurred  as  at 
30 June 2012.

Net  impaired,  restructured  and  past  due  loans  over 
90	 days	 were	 $90.5m,	 which	 was	 4.4%	 of	 net	 finance	
receivables	 as	 at	 30	 June	 2012	 –	 down	 from	 $100.7m	 or	
5.9%	as	at	30	June	2011.

The level of impaired, restructured and past due loans is 
largely  due  to  the  legacy  non-core  property  books  and 
will continue to reduce as a percentage of total assets as 
lending in the core business grows and the non-core book 
runs down.

The  net  impairment  ratio  of  the  core  business  was 
relatively	 consistent	 with	 the	 prior	 year	 at	 1.3%	 as	 at	 
30	June	2012,	compared	to	1.2%	as	at	30	June	2011.

Heartland	benefited	from	one-off	tax	benefits	of	$9.6m	in	
the 2012 financial year. A law change resulted in a one-off 
deferred	tax	benefit	of	$6.2m	as	previously	advised,	and	
a	 $3.4m	 gain	 resulting	 from	 utilising	 historic	 tax	 losses	
of  MARAC  Financial  Services  Limited.  Heartland  expects 
taxation to be normalised in the 2012-2013 financial year.

Heartland Building Society’s (HBS – Heartland’s principal 
operating	 subsidiary)	
liquidity	 was	 $448.5m	 as	 at	 
30 June 2012, which consisted of cash, liquid assets and 
unutilised	available	funding	lines.	This	was	$152.6m	more	
than the minimum level of liquidity required under HBS’s 
Trust Deed.

Real Estate Credit Limited (RECL) is a subsidiary of Pyne Gould Corporation Limited and manages the MARAC (a subsidiary of Heartland) non-core property loan assets 
which have the benefit of the RECL management contract.  The security held for the obligations under the RECL management contract includes an AA- rated bond, specific 
security over five properties, and an undertaking that RECL complies with its obligation to maintain the pool of security to a required minimum value.

On	 6	 December	 2011,	 Standard	 &	 Poor’s	 affirmed	
HBS’s  investment  grade  credit  rating  of  BBB-  and 
improved  the  ratings  outlook  to  ‘stable’.  The  investment 
grade  rating  underpins  the  strength  and  strategy  
of Heartland.

Business Performance – Heartland’s Core 
Business divisions
Heartland’s core business is divided into three divisions – 
Business, Rural and Retail & Consumer, which reflect the 
major drivers of the New Zealand economy. 

We aim to deliver a relationship-based service model to 
local communities, providing general lending but with an 
emphasis on products that either we specialise in or are 
‘best in category’. These products currently include motor 
vehicle finance, livestock finance, invoice finance, business 
overdrafts, asset finance, insurance and deposits.

Business
The Business division supports the working capital, plant 
and  machinery,  and  general  funding  requirements  of 
small-to-medium sized businesses with turnover between 
$1.0m	and	$20.0m.

During  the  year,  we  commissioned  an 
independent 
research  firm  to  have  our  customers  rate  our  service. 
Pleasingly,  our  relationship-based  service  model  rated 
very  highly,  with  the  division’s  Relationship  Managers 
achieving	 an	 average	 customer	 service	 rating	 of	 94%	
across a range of performance attributes.

The	 receivables	 book	 grew	 by	 $63.9m	 to	 $540.2m	 at	 
30	June	2012.	NOI	also	increased	by	$3.7m	to	$21.0m	from	
the	prior	year.	Heartland’s	market	share	is	less	than	1%	of	
the market, so there is good scope for customer growth 
by increasing the penetration of specialised, higher-yield 
products.

Rural 
The Rural division provides farmers with livestock finance, 
working  capital  and  farm  lending.  Distribution  is  both 
direct  and  through  a  relationship  with  PGG  Wrightson 
(PGW),  a  leading  provider  to  New  Zealand’s  agricultural 
sector.

PWF, now a division of Heartland, was acquired from PGW 
in  August  2011.  PWF  was  an  important  acquisition  for 
Heartland  and  brought  significant  impetus  to  our  rural 
strategy and further diversity to our asset base.

to	 $478.6m	 during	

in  net  receivables  growth 
The  acquisition  resulted 
of	 $402.6m	
the	 year	 ended	 
30  June  2012.  However,  underlying  growth  was  flat 
outside  of  the  acquisition  due  to  debt  reduction  in  the 
sector and favourable growing conditions limiting demand 
for livestock finance.

The  Rural  division  is  well  positioned  for  future  growth, 
with new livestock finance products and processes having 
been introduced towards the end of the financial year. 

Retail & Consumer
Retail  &  Consumer  is  managed  as  one  division  due  to 
the  similarity  of  customer  profile  –  middle  New  Zealand 
families.  Retail  focuses  on  providing  deposit  products 
and  residential  lending.  Consumer  offers  vehicle  and 
equipment  finance  and  insurance  through  relationships 
with  leading  distributors  such  as  The  New  Zealand 
Automobile Association (AA), Holden, Nissan, Suzuki and 
Case IH, and through authorised-dealer networks.

During  the  first  half  of  the  year,  Heartland  successfully 
transitioned  through  the  expiry  of  the  Crown  guarantee 
and the Heartland brand was rolled out across the Retail 
network in the second half of the financial year.

Overall,	this	division’s	receivables	book	fell	by	$47.6m	to	
$954.8m	 during	 the	 year	 ended	 30	 June	 2012,	 however	
NOI	 increased	 by	 $4.4m	 from	 the	 year	 prior	 to	 $45.1m.	
The mortgage book (primarily residential) was impacted 
by	a	competitive	market	and	reduced	by	$68.4m,	but	was	
offset	by	growth	in	Consumer	lending	of	$20.8m.

A  focus  on  motor  vehicle  finance  and  an  expansion  into 
new  communities  will  underpin  growth  in  Consumer 
lending  and  deposit  products  in  the  2012-2013  financial 
year.

Non-Core Business – Property
The non-core property portfolio is segregated and under 
a managed plan to run off. Total non-core property assets 
were	$160.2m	at	30	June	2012,	a	reduction	of	$26.9m	from	 
30 June 2011.

Some  investment  properties  were  acquired  as  a  result 
of enforcement to improve our security position and the 
market remains difficult.

Non-core  property  was  made  up  of  net  receivables  of 
$104.7m	 and	 investment	 properties	 of	 $55.5m.	 RECL4 
manages  the  ex-MARAC  non-core  property.  As  noted 
earlier, the RECL Agreement was regarded as fully utilised 
as at 30 June 2012 – the future value of expected claims 
has	reached	the	$30.0m	limit.

strategic Priorities
Our  key  objective  is  ultimately  to  create  a  New  Zealand 
owned and controlled banking group with Heartland, the 
parent company, listed on the NZX Main Board. HBS has 
engaged  with  the  Reserve  Bank  of  New  Zealand  (RBNZ) 
regarding its application for registered bank status. Certain 
necessary  intermediate  steps  have  been  completed  and 
the  formal  determination  process  has  now  begun.  The 
process  is  ongoing  and  the  information  exchanged,  and 

8   |   ChAIrMAN ANd MANAgINg dIrECTOr’S rEpOrT

discussions held, between the RBNZ and HBS in the course 
of the process are confidential. We expect that a decision 
will  be  available  in  November  2012.  We  emphasise  that 
timing to the end of the process remains uncertain, and 
the outcome remains unknown.

is 

Another  key  priority 
for  Heartland  to  deliver 
acceptable  and  sustainable  earnings  moving  forward. 
Subject  to  meeting  profit  targets  and  regulatory  capital 
requirements,  we  intend  to  become  a  regular  dividend 
payer. Our Dividend Policy will be outlined at the Heartland 
Annual General Meeting (AGM) being held in Ashburton on  
30 November 2012. No dividend was paid or is to be paid 
by Heartland in, or in respect of, the 30 June 2012 financial 
year.

Profit  guidance  for  the  year  ending  30  June  2013  will 
also  be  provided  at  the  Heartland  AGM.  Whilst  trading 
conditions remain challenging given economic conditions 
generally,  performance  for  the  second  half  of  the  
2011-2012  financial  year  is  perhaps  the  best  guide  (at 
present) for the 2012-2013 financial year.

Heartland established on the New Zealand 
landscape
We will continue to build on our heritage and reputation as 
being	100%	for	New	Zealand	and	being	a	people-focused	
business that provides exceptional service.

5.0  COrpOrATE gOvErNANCE

The  Board  and  management  of  Heartland  New  Zealand 
Limited  are  committed  to  ensuring  that  the  Company 
maintains  corporate  governance  practices  in  line  with 
current best practice.

The  Board  has  established  policies  and  protocols  which 
comply  with  the  corporate  governance  requirements  of 
the NZSX Listing Rules and which are consistent with the 
principles  contained  in  the  NZX  Corporate  Governance 
Best Practice Code.

This  governance  statement  outlines  the  main  corporate 
governance  practices  applied  by  the  Company  as  at 
30  June  2012.  During  the  year  the  Board  reviewed  and 
assessed the Company’s governance structure to confirm 
that  its  governance  practices  are  consistent  with  best 
practice.  The  Board  considers  it  has  complied  with  the 
NZX  Corporate  Governance  Best  Practice  Code  for  the 
year ended 30 June 2012.

This section of the Annual Report reflects the requirements 
of the New Zealand Securities Commission’s Governance 
Principles  and  Guidelines.  The  Company’s  Constitution, 
and  Board  and  Committee  charters  are  available  on  the 
Company’s website www.heartland.co.nz.

Principle 1 – ethical standards
The Company expects its directors and staff to act honestly 
and in good faith, and in the best interests of the Company 
at  all  times.  They  must  act  with  the  care,  diligence  and 
skill expected of a director or staff member of a company 
that has shares that are publicly traded on the NZX Main 
Board  and  has  subsidiaries  that  issue  securities  and 
accept funds from the general public.

Directors and staff are required to act honestly and fairly in 
all dealings with the Company’s shareholders, customers, 
investors and service providers.

Each director and staff member has an obligation, at all 
times,  to  comply  with  the  spirit  as  well  as  the  letter  of 
the law, to comply with the principles of  the Company’s 
Code of Conduct, the Directors’ Code of Conduct and the 
Company’s Constitution, and to exhibit a high standard of 
ethical behaviour.

The  Company’s  Code  of  Conduct  covers,  among  other 
things:

•	

•	

•	

receipt	and	use	of	Company	assets	and	property

receipt	and	use	of	Company	information

conflicts	of	interest.

All  directors  and  officers  of  the  Company  are  required 
to  obtain  consent  before  buying  or  selling  shares  in 
the  Company  and  to  certify  that  their  decision  to  buy 
or  sell  shares  has  not  been  made  on  the  basis  of  inside 
information.  The  Company’s  Code  of  Conduct  and 
Directors’ Code of Conduct are available on the Company’s 
website www.heartland.co.nz.

Principle 2 – Board Composition and 
Performance

Role of the Board
The  Board  is  responsible  for  corporate  governance  and 
the  Company’s  overall  direction.  The  Board  establishes 
objectives,  strategies  and  an  overall  policy  framework 
within  which  the  business  is  conducted.  Day-to-day 
management  is  delegated  to  the  Chief  Executive  Officer. 
The Board regularly monitors and reviews management’s 
performance in carrying out their delegated duties.

The Board schedules monthly meetings. In the year ended 
30 June 2012, the Board met 10 times.

Board Membership, size and Composition
The  NZSX  Listing  Rules  provide  that  the  number  of 
directors  must  not  be  fewer  than  three.  Subject  to  this 
limitation, the size of the Board is determined from time 
to time by the Board.

The Board currently comprises six directors, being a non-
executive Chairman, the Managing Director and four non-
executive directors.

A  director  is  appointed  by  ordinary  resolution  of  the 
shareholders, although the Board may fill a casual vacancy, 
in  which  case  the  appointed  director  retires  at  the  next 
Annual  General  Meeting  but  is  eligible  for  re-election.  
Nominations  for  election  as  a  director  may  be  made  by 
shareholders  up  until  a  closing  date,  which  must  not  be 
more  than  two  months  before  the  date  of  the  Annual 
General Meeting.

Independence of directors
A director is considered to be independent if that director 
is not an executive of the Company and if the director has 
no  direct  or  indirect  interest  or  relationship  that  could 
reasonably  influence,  in  a  material  way,  the  director’s 
decisions in relation to the Company.

The Board has determined that B R Irvine, G R Kennedy, 
G  R  Leech,  C  R  Mace  and  G  T  Ricketts  are  independent 
directors.

Board Performance Assessment
The  Board  undertakes  a  regular  review  of  its  own,  its 
committees’ and individual directors’ performance. This is 
to ensure that it has the right composition and appropriate 
skills,  qualifications,  experience  and  background 
to  effectively  govern  the  Company  and  monitor  the 
Company’s performance in the interests of shareholders.

The last review was undertaken in April 2012.

are maintained in financial reporting and disclosure of all 
relevant information.

The Audit Committee oversees the quality and timeliness 
of all financial reports, including all prospectuses issued 
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

their remuneration in shares and there is no requirement 
for directors to hold shares in the Company.

senior executive Remuneration
The  objective  is  to  provide  competitive  remuneration 
that  aligns  executives’  remuneration  with  shareholder 
value  and  rewards  the  executives’  achievement  of  the 
Company’s strategies and business plans.

All  senior  executives  receive  a  base  salary  and  are  also 
on short-term and long-term incentive plans under which 
they  are  rewarded  for  achieving  key  performance  and 
operating results.

Principle 6 – Risk Management
The  Board  ensures  that  the  Company  has  processes  in 
place to identify and manage risk in the business. The three 
main  types  of  risk  identified  are  operational,  business 
and  market  risks.  Specific  risk  management  strategies 
have  been  developed  for  each  of  these  areas.  The  Risk 
Committee  of  the  Board  oversees  the  risk  management 
strategy. The Company also has in place insurance cover 
for insurable liability and general business risk.

Principle 7 – Auditors
The  Audit  Committee  is  responsible  for  overseeing  the 
external,  independent  audit  of  the  Company’s  financial 
statements.  The  Audit  Committee  ensures  that  the  level 
of  non-audit  work  undertaken  by  the  auditors  does 
not  jeopardise  their  independence.  The  Company  also 
has  an  internal  audit  function,  which  is  independent  of 
the  external  auditors.  The  Audit  Committee  approves 
the  annual  audit  programme,  which  is  developed  in 
consultation with management of the Company.

Principle 8 – shareholder Relations
The  Board  is  committed  to  maintaining  a  full  and  open 
dialogue with all shareholders.

7.0  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2012

explanatory Foreword

The financial statements presented are those of Heartland New Zealand Limited (Company) and its subsidiaries (Group). 

On  7  January  2011,  the  Group  was  formed  through  the  business  combination  of  CBS  Canterbury  (CBS),  Southern 
Cross Building Society (SCBS), MARAC Finance Limited (MARAC) and Heartland Financial Services Limited (previously 
Combined Operations Limited). On 31 August 2011, the Group acquired PGG Wrightson Finance Limited (PWF). 

From a legal perspective MARAC is a subsidiary of the Company (through Heartland Building Society). Under New Zealand 
equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) MARAC is treated as the acquirer of CBS and SCBS. 
The effect of this is that the financial statements represent a continuation of the MARAC business. 

As  described  in  Note  1,  the  Group’s  comparative  year  results  include  the  operations  of  MARAC  from  1  July  2010  to 
6	January	2011	and	the	results	of	the	new	Group	from	7	January	2011	to	30	June	2011.	The	year	ended	30	June	2012	
includes the Group results from 1 July 2011 onwards and PWF’s result from 31 August 2011.

Reporting entity

The financial statements presented are the consolidated financial statements comprising Heartland New Zealand Limited
(Company) and its subsidiaries and joint venture (Group). 

The Group was formed following a series of transactions during the period from 5 to 7 January 2011. The Company,
through its subsidiaries, owns 100% of Heartland Building Society (Society) and 100% of Heartland Financial Services
Limited (HFSL). The Society owns 100% of MARAC Finance Limited (MARAC) and PGG Wrightson Finance Limited
(PWF). Heartland Financial Services Limited holds a 50% joint venture interest in MARAC JV Holdings Limited (MJV) with
the New Zealand Automobile Association.  Refer to Note 5 - Significant subsidiaries.

On 5 January 2011:



All of the assets and liabilities of CBS Canterbury (CBS), Southern Cross Building Society (SCBS) (net of the shares
held by SCBS in CBS), CBS Warehouse A Trust were amalgamated to form the Society.

 The borrowings of MARAC were transferred to the Society.


The shares in MARAC were transferred to the Society from MARAC Financial Services Limited to form the Group.

On 7 January 2011:



The Society and the assets and liabilities of Heartland Trust (previously known as Southern Cross Building Society
Charitable Trust) and CBS Canterbury Charitable Trust were amalgamated into the Group.

On 31 August 2011:



The Society acquired 100% of PGG Wrightson Finance Limited (PWF) from PGG Wrightson Limited (PGW), refer to
Note 36 - Business combinations for more information.

From a legal perspective MARAC is a subsidiary of the Company. Under New Zealand equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) the series of transactions described above is treated as a reverse acquisition and
MARAC is treated as the acquirer of CBS and SCBS. As a result, the business combination is accounted for as if MARAC
acquired 100% of the Company with the Company owning 72.21% of the Society through its subsidiaries.

As a result the financial statements represent a continuation of the MARAC business. Comparatives presented for the year
ended 30 June 2011 reflect the total comprehensive income of the MARAC Group from 1 July 2010 to 6 January 2011 and
the results of the Group from 7 January 2011 to 30 June 2011.  From 1 July 2011 onwards the result reflects the Group.

The MARAC Group comprises MARAC, Heartland ABCP Trust 1 (previously known as MARAC ABCP Trust 1), MARAC
Retirement Bonds Superannuation Fund and Heartland PIE Fund (previously known as MARAC PIE Fund). The Group
wound up MARAC Retirement Bonds Superannuation Fund with effect from 31 October 2010.

The Group includes Heartland ABCP Trust 1 and CBS Warehouse A Trust collectively known as the Trusts. The assets
securitised into the Trusts continue to be recognised in the Group's financial statements. The Group includes Heartland
Trust and the CBS Canterbury Charitable Trust.

All entities within the Group offer financial services. The Group operates and is domiciled in New Zealand. The registered
office address is 75 Riccarton Road, Christchurch.

(a)

Estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management judgement, estimates and assumptions that effect
reported amounts. Actual results may differ from these judgements. For further information about significant areas of
estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements that have the most significant effect on the financial statements, refer to Note
32 - Credit risk exposure.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis after considering the Company's and Group’s
funding and liquidity position.

Comparative information
Certain comparatives have been restated to comply with current year presentation.

Significant accounting policies

Consolidation of subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Group. Investments in subsidiary companies are recorded at cost by the
Company.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by consolidating the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated on consolidation.

(b)

Jointly controlled entities
Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and
requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions.

Investments in jointly controlled entities are accounted for by the Group using the equity method and are recognised initially
the income and expenses and equity
at cost. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of
movements of equity accounted investees, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date
that significant influence or joint control ceases. Dividends received from associates and jointly controlled entities are
recorded in comprehensive income.

(c)

(d)

Special purpose entities
Special purpose entities are created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective such as the securitisation or holding
of particular assets, or the execution of a specific borrowing or lending transaction. The financial statements of special
purpose entities are included in the Group's financial statements where the substance of the relationship is that the
Company controls the special purpose entity.

Interest
Interest income and expense are recognised using the effective interest method in comprehensive income. The effective
interest rate is established on initial recognition of the financial assets and liabilities and is not revised subsequently. The
calculation of the effective interest rate includes all yield related fees and commissions paid or received that are an integral
part of the effective interest rate.

Interest on the effective portion of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is initially recognised in the hedging
reserve.
It is released to comprehensive income at the same time as the hedged item or if the hedge relationship is
subsequently deemed to be ineffective.

(e)

Operating lease income and expense
Income from operating lease vehicles is apportioned over the term of the operating lease on a straight line basis.

Operating lease vehicles are depreciated on a straight line basis over their expected life after allowing for any residual
values. The estimated lives of operating lease vehicles vary up to five years. Vehicles held for sale are not depreciated but
are tested for impairment.

Lending and credit fee income
Lending and credit fee income that is integral to the effective interest rate of a financial asset or liability is included in the
measurement of the effective interest rate. Other lending and credit fee income is recognised as the related services are
rendered.

Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised in comprehensive income on the date that the Company's right to receive payment is
established.

Tax
Income tax expense
Income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Income tax expense is recognised in comprehensive
income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income, in which case it is
recognised in other comprehensive income.

Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted
at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax for current and prior years
is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amount of assets and
liabilities and the amounts used for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year(s) when the asset or
liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the reporting date. The measurement reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Group, at the reporting date, recovers or settles the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets, including those related to the tax effects of income tax losses and credits available to be carried
forward, are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and credits can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed each
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only to the extent that they relate to income taxes imposed by the
same taxation authority and there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis and it is allowed under tax law.

Share capital
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.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and liquid assets used in the day to day cash management of the Group. Cash
and cash equivalents are carried at amortised cost in the Statements of Financial Position.

Investments
The Group holds investments in local authority stock, public securities and corporate bonds.
Investments held are classified
as being available for sale and are stated at fair value less impairment, if any. The fair values are derived by reference to
published price quotations in an active market.

Investment properties
Investment properties have been acquired through the enforcement of security over finance receivables and are held to
earn rental
Investment property is initially recognised at its fair value, with
income or for capital appreciation (or both).
subsequent changes in fair value recognised in comprehensive income.

Fair values are supported by independent valuations or other similar external evidence, adjusted for changes in market
conditions and the time since the last valuation.

Finance receivables
Finance receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus incremental direct transaction costs and are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss.

Operating lease vehicles
Operating lease vehicles are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Profits on the sale of operating lease vehicles
are included as part of operating lease income. Current year depreciation and losses on the sale of operating lease
vehicles are included as part of operating lease expenses.

Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are contracts entered into to reduce the exposure to the volatility of variable rate borrowings
(cash flow hedges), or to convert fixed rate borrowings or assets to variable rates (fair value hedges), in order to mitigate the
Group’s interest rate risk. The financial instruments are subject to the risk that market values may change subsequent to
their acquisition; however such changes would be offset by corresponding, but opposite, effects on the variable rate
borrowings or fixed rate borrowings or assets being hedged. Derivatives are initially valued at fair value and subsequently
remeasured at fair value.

(o)

Derivative financial instruments (continued)
Fair value movements of derivatives that are not designated in a qualifying cash flow hedge relationship, are recognised in
comprehensive income. Fair value movements of the effective portion of a qualifying cash flow hedge derivative, are
recognised directly in other comprehensive income and held in the hedging reserve in equity. The amount recognised in
equity is transferred to comprehensive income in the same year as the hedged cash flow affects comprehensive income,
disclosed in the same line as the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative is
recognised immediately in comprehensive income. Fair value movements of a derivative designated as a fair value hedge
are recognised directly in comprehensive income together with the hedged item.

(p)

Property, plant, equipment and depreciation
Land and buildings are measured at fair value. Fair value is determined on the basis of independent valuations prepared by
external valuation experts, based on discounted cash flows or capitalisation of net income.

that

Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of land and buildings is credited to the asset revaluation reserve, except
to the extent
it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised as an expense in
comprehensive income, in which case the increase is credited to comprehensive income to the extent of the decrease
previously charged. A decrease in carrying amount arising on the revaluation of land and buildings is charged as an
expense to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the asset revaluation reserve relating to a previous
revaluation of that asset.

Depreciation on revalued buildings is charged to comprehensive income. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a
revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the asset revaluation reserve, net of any related deferred
taxes, is transferred directly to retained earnings.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its
expected useful life to its estimated residual value.

The following annual rates are used in the calculation of depreciation:

5.5% - 36.0%

Recognition
they are
The Group initially recognises finance receivables, borrowings and subordinated liabilities on the date that
originated. All other financial assets and liabilities (including assets and liabilities designated at
fair value through
comprehensive income) are initially recognised on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.

Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers
the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or
retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

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

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its Statements of Financial Position, but
retains either all risks and rewards of the transferred assets or a portion of them. If all or substantially all risks and rewards
are retained, then the transferred assets are not derecognised from the Statements of Financial Position. Transfers of
assets with the retention of all or substantially all risks and rewards include, for example, securitised assets and repurchase
transactions.

Impaired assets and past due assets
Impaired assets are those loans for which the Group has evidence that it will incur a loss, and will be unable to collect all
principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. 

The term collectively impaired asset refers to an asset where an event has occurred which past history indicates that there
is an increased possibility that the Group will not collect all its principal and interest as it falls due. No losses have yet been
identified on these individual loans within the collectively impaired asset grouping, and history would indicate that only a
small portion of these loans will eventually not be recovered. The Group provides fully for its expected losses.

Restructured assets are assets where the Group expects to recover all amounts owing although the original terms have
been changed due to the counterparty's difficulty in complying with the original terms of the contract and the amended terms
In order to be classified as a restructured asset, following restructuring, the
are not comparable with similar new lending.
return under the revised terms is expected to be equal to or greater than the Group's average cost of funds, or a loss is not
otherwise expected to be incurred.

Past due but not impaired assets are any assets which have not been operated by the counterparty within their key terms
but are not considered to be impaired by the Group.

Bad debts provided for are written off against individual or collective provisions. Amounts required to bring the provisions to
their assessed levels are recognised in comprehensive income. Any future recoveries of amounts provided for are taken to
comprehensive income.

For further information about credit impairment provisioning refer to Note 32 - Credit risk exposure.

(s)

Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST. As the Group is predominantly involved in
providing financial services, only a proportion of GST paid on inputs is recoverable. The non-recoverable proportion of GST
is treated as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or is expensed.

(t)

Intangible assets and goodwill

Goodwill
Goodwill arising on acquisition represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value
of the identifiable net assets and contingent liabilities. When the fair value of the identifiable net assets and contingent
liabilities exceeds the cost of an acquisition, the resulting discount is recognised immediately in comprehensive income for
the year.  Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Computer software
less accumulated amortisation and any
Software acquired or internally developed by the Group is stated at cost
accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure on software assets is capitalised only when it increases the future
economic value of that asset. Amortisation of software is on a straight line basis, at rates which will write off the cost over
their estimated economic lives of three to four years. All other expenditure is expensed immediately as required.

(u)

(v)

(w)

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
estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

Employee benefits
Annual leave entitlements are accrued at amounts expected to be paid. Long service leave is accrued by calculating the
probable future value of entitlements and discounting back to present value. Obligations to defined contribution
superannuation schemes are recognised as an expense when the contribution is paid.

Defined benefit plan
The cost of providing benefits for defined benefit superannuation plans is determined using the Projected Unit Credit
Method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the year in which they occur by way of a movement in the
defined benefit plan reserve, and are presented in the Statements of Changes in Equity.

Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised on
a straight-line basis over the average year until the benefit becomes vested. The defined benefit obligation is deducted
from the fair value of
to derive the defined benefit plan surplus recognised in trade
receivables in the Statements of Financial Position.

Borrowings

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Statements of Cash Flows
The Statements of Cash Flows have been prepared using the direct method modified by the netting of certain cash flows
associated with cash and cash equivalents,
finance receivables and borrowings.
Netting of cash flows provides more meaningful disclosure as many of the cash flows are received and paid on behalf of
customers and reflect the activities of those customers rather than the Group.

investments, related party balances,

Share schemes
The Group provides benefits to staff in the form of share based payments, whereby staff provide services in exchange for
shares. Currently in place is a discretionary share scheme and an executive share scheme, refer to Note 37 - Staff share
ownership arrangements.

Under both of these schemes Heartland New Zealand Limited and the previous ultimate parent, Pyne Gould Corporation
Limited undertake to transfer a specific number of its shares to various key staff at a specified future date on that staff
member achieving certain criteria. The shares are issued at a price agreed by the directors and held in trust until all the
conditions are satisfied. The expected benefit is expensed over the years over which any conditions are required to be met.

Segmental analysis

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's operating segments which are those used for the Group's management
and internal reporting structure. During the year ended 30 June 2012, the operating segments were restructured to amalgamate
Retail and Consumer into one segment.  The comparative year has been restated to align with the new operating segments.

All
income received is from external sources, except those transactions with related parties, refer to Note 29 - Related party
transactions. Certain selling and administration expenses, such as premises, IT and support centre costs are not allocated to
operating segments and are included in Other.

Operating segments
The Group operates predominantly within New Zealand and comprises the following main operating segments:

Retail and Consumer

Business

Rural

Non-core Property

financial services to New Zealand families,
transactional and savings based deposit accounts together with

Providing a comprehensive range of
including term,
residential mortgage lending and motor vehicle finance.

financial services to the farming sector primarily offering livestock, rural
Specialist

farmers.
Funding assets in the non-core property division of MARAC and the Society.

based on credit risk concentrations (refer to Note 32 for further details).

In May 2010, legislation was passed to reduce the New Zealand corporate tax rate from 30% to 28%, effective for the 2012 income
tax year. The tax effect in the prior year of $298,000 is the impact on the value of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of
the reduction in the corporate tax rate for the financial year commencing 1 July 2011.

On 29 August 2011, the Taxation (Tax Administration and Remedial Matters) Act 2011 received Royal Assent. This Act contains a
retrospective legislative change in relation to mergers of building societies. The result is that the $6.2 million benefit of future tax
deductions which were lost on the merger of MARAC, SCBS and CBS are now available to entities in the Heartland New Zealand
Consolidated (Tax) Group, and cash that would otherwise have been required to pay tax will now be available to the Group.

During the year MARAC made a subvention payment to MARAC Financial Services Limited (its former parent) for the use of tax
losses to 31 May 2011. The amount paid was less than the tax rate of 30%. As a result the Group recognised a benefit of $3.4
million included in adjustments for prior year.

11 Earnings per share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings of 6c per share at 30 June 2012 (2011: 5c per share) is based on the profit for the
year of $23,606,000 (2011: $7,143,000), and a weighted average number of shares on issue of 373,879,475 (2011: 144,201,000).

The earnings per share calculated based on the closing number of shares (refer Note 27 - Share capital) rather than the weighted
average number of shares, results in basic and diluted earnings per share of 6c at 30 June 2012 (2011: 2c).

From 31 December 2010, the Group (through VPS Properties Limited and VPS Parnell Limited) began acquiring investment

by the RECL management agreement.  Refer to Note 29 - Related party transactions for further detail.

The carrying amount of investment properties at 30 June 2012 is the fair value based on independent valuations and current sale
and purchase agreements. Valuations have been obtained from the following independent valuers who hold recognised
professional qualifications:

a Supplemental Trust Deed dated 14 December 2010 (collectively the Trust Deeds), all with Trustee Executors Limited as trustee
in respect of deposits.

The Group has securitisation facilities in relation to the Trusts totalling $450.0 million. On 27 February 2012, the Group entered
into an agreement with its securitisation facility provider to extend the maturity date of Heartland ABCP Trust 1 $300 million
securitisation facility to 6 February 2013. On 19 December 2011, the Group entered into an agreement to increase CBS

Derivatives consist of interest rate swaps held to manage the Group's exposure to interest rate repricing risk on its interest bearing
assets and liabilities. 

The Group uses interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk arising from its commercial paper issuance and its current and
future floating rate bank debt and designates those swaps as qualifying cash flow hedges. The Group uses interest rate swaps to
hedge the interest rate risk arising from deposits and fixed rate mortgage loans and designates these swaps as qualifying fair value
hedges.

Securitised derivatives are held in the name of the Trusts to hedge the interest rate risk arising in the Trusts.

29 Related party transactions

The Company holds all shares in the Society, HFSL, MARAC and PWF, refer Note 5 - Significant subsidiaries and interests in
jointly controlled entities.

Former related parties
Until 5 January 2011 the immediate parent of MARAC was MARAC Financial Services Limited (MFSL). MFSL's ultimate parent is
Pyne Gould Corporation Limited (PGC). On 30 May 2011, PGC distributed directly to PGC shareholders its 72.21% stake in HNZ.
As a result from 30 May 2011, PGC and its subsidiaries (including Real Estate Credit Limited) are no longer related parties of the
Group, however material transactions in respect of these former related parties are disclosed below.

(a) Transactions with former related parties

Real Estate Credit Limited (RECL) Management agreement
On 5 January 2011, MARAC entered into a management agreement with RECL. The agreement (as previously amended) was
further amended on 19 October 2011. Under this arrangement, RECL manages certain non-core real estate loans (not previously
sold in September 2009) of MARAC for a 5 year period (ending 5 January 2016), and assumes the risk of loss on those loans for
that period. Any payment by RECL to MARAC in respect of that loss is due at the end of the 5 year period (with some limited right
on the part of MARAC to earlier payment). The maximum amount payable by RECL in respect of loss (including interest accruing
on loss payments until the due date for payment) is limited to $30 million. The payment obligations of RECL are “limited in
recourse” to a pool of security provided by RECL. This pool of security includes an $11 million 5 year zero coupon bond (issued by
Westpac New Zealand Limited which is rated AA- by Standard & Poor's (Australia) Pty Limited), and other assets (initially real
estate or real estate loans) with a required minimum security value of (initially) $19 million. PGC will be obliged to top up the
security pool to the extent that the security value of other assets is less than the minimum required.

MARAC paid RECL an upfront fee of $11 million (which will be amortised over the 5 year period of the arrangement), and will pay
an ongoing management fee of $200,000 per annum for the 5 year period.

The benefit of this management agreement is included in the determination of the charge and the analysis of risk gradings and the
classification of individually impaired assets as at 30 June 2012.
In September 2011, RECL paid $1.5 million cash for claims to
MARAC.  This payment reduced the required minimum security value of other assets to $17.5 million.

From 31 December 2010, the Group (through VPS Properties Limited and VPS Parnell Limited) began acquiring investment
properties as a result of enforcement of security over finance receivables. The acquisitions by VPS Properties Limited and VPS
Parnell Limited were funded by advances from the Society and MARAC to those acquiring entities. These advances are covered
by the RECL management agreement.

(b) Transactions with related parties

MARAC provided administration services to RECL, MARAC Insurance Limited and Heartland PIE Fund and received insurance
commission from MARAC Insurance Limited.

MARAC Insurance Limited and some key management personnel invested in the Society's deposits. The investment of Heartland
PIE Fund is detailed in Note 28.  Key management personnel investments are detailed in Note 29(c).

All transactions were conducted on normal commercial terms and conditions.

Fair value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial asset and liability.

Finance receivables
The fair value of the Group's finance receivables is calculated using a valuation technique which assumes current market interest
rates for loans of a similar nature and term.

The current market rate used to fair value finance receivables with a fixed interest rate is 9.06% (2011: 9.51%). Finance
receivables with a floating interest rate are deemed to be at current market rates. The current amount of credit provisioning has
been deducted from the fair value calculation of finance receivables as a proxy for future losses. Prepayment rates have not been
factored into the fair value calculation as they are not deemed to be material.

Investments
Investments in public securities and corporate bonds are classified as being available for sale and are stated at fair value less
impairment, with the fair value being based on quoted market prices.  (Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy).

Other financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered equivalent to their carrying value due to their short term
nature.

Fair value (continued)

Derivative items
The fair value of interest rate contracts is modelled using observable market inputs (Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy).

Borrowings
The fair value of deposits, bank borrowings and other borrowings is the present value of future cash flows and is based on the
current market interest rates payable by the Group for debt of similar maturities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2012

31 Risk management policies

The Group is committed to the management of risk. The primary risk categories are credit, liquidity, interest rate and operational.
The Group's risk management strategy is set by the Board of Directors (Board). The Group has put in place management
structures and information systems to manage risks incorporated in the Group's Risk Management Programme (RMP). The Group
has separate monitoring tasks where feasible and subjects risk processes to hindsight and internal audit, and accounting systems
to regular internal and external audits.

Management of capital
The Group's capital includes share capital, reserves and retained earnings.

The Group'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 Group has minimum capital requirements which it is required to maintain in accordance
with its Trust Deeds, borrowing facilities and the Deposit Takers (Credit Ratings, Capital Ratios, and Related Party Exposures)
Regulations 2010. The Group maintains an appropriate buffer above these ratios and reports these to its Board monthly.
Throughout the year, the Group has complied with all of these externally imposed requirements.

32 Credit risk exposure

Credit risk management framework
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group caused by the failure of a customer to meet their contractual obligations that
arise from the Group’s lending activities. Credit risk carries the greatest risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of the Group's assets within the next financial year.

To manage this risk the Risk Committee, a committee of the Board, has been delegated the task of overseeing a formal credit risk
management strategy. The Risk Committee reviews the Group's credit risk exposures and has wide ranging credit policies to
manage all aspects of credit risk.

Reviewing and assessing credit risk
The credit risk management strategies ensure that:

 - Credit origination meets agreed levels of credit quality at point of approval.
 - Sector and geographical risks are actively managed.
 - Industry and product concentrations are actively monitored.
 - Maximum total exposure to any one debtor is actively managed.
 - Changes to credit risk are actively monitored with regular credit reviews.

Lending standards and processes
The Group has adopted a detailed Credit Policy Framework supported by Lending Standards providing criteria for finance products
within each business sector. The combination of the Credit Policy Framework and Lending Standards guides credit assessment,
credit risk grading, documentation standards, legal procedures and compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements.

The Risk Committee has authority from the Board for approval of all credit exposures. Lending authority has been individually
for delegation through the business units under a detailed Delegated Lending Authority
provided to the Chief Risk Officer,
framework. Application of credit discretions in the business operation are monitored through a defined review and hindsight
structure. Delegated Lending Authorities are provided to individual officers with due cognisance of their experience and ability.
Larger and higher risk exposures require approval of senior management, ultimately through to the Chief Risk Officer or the Risk
Committee.

Collateral requirements
Although the Group relies primarily on the integrity of borrowers and their ability to make contracted repayments, the Group also
requires appropriate collateral for loans. This collateral
is usually by way of first charge over the asset financed and usually
includes personal guarantees from borrowers and business owners.

Because of the wide nature of the collateral held against loans it is impracticable to provide an accurate estimate of their fair value.

32 Credit risk exposure (continued)

Credit risk grading
The Group's receivables are monitored either by account behaviour or a regular assessment of their credit risk grade based on an
objective review of defined risk characteristics.  The portfolio risk is regularly refreshed based on current information.

The Group classifies finance receivables as Behavioural or Judgement.

The Behavioural portfolio consists mainly of consumer and retail receivables and usually relates to financing the acquisition of a
single asset. These loans are typically introduced by vendors of the asset financed and are smaller in value than Judgement
loans.  Behavioural loans are risk graded based on arrears status.

The Judgement portfolio consists mainly of business and rural lending and includes non-core property. Judgement loans relate to
loans where an ongoing and detailed working relationship with the customer has been developed.

Judgement loans are individually risk graded based on loan status, financial
information, security and debt servicing ability.
Exposures in the Judgement portfolio are credit risk graded by an internal risk grading mechanism. Previously, the risk grading
mechanism used a credit risk grade scale of 1 to 7 and classified loans as Transactional or Relationship. During the year, the risk
grades have been revised to a more comprehensive 10 point scale model which better represents the Group's risk profile.

In the Judgement portfolio, grade 1 is the strongest risk grade for undoubted risk and grade 9 represents the highest risk grade
where a loss is probable. Grade 10 reflects loss accounts written off. Grades 2 to 8 represent ascending steps in management's
assessment of risk of exposures.  The Group typically finances new loans in risk grades 2 to 5 of the Judgement portfolio.

The Group raises provisions based on historical loss experience for loans risk graded in grades 6 to 8. Loans in grade 9 of the
Judgement portfolio are individually assessed for impairment.

(a) Credit impairment provisioning

Credit impairment provisions are made where events have occurred leading to an expectation of reduced future cash flows from
certain receivables.  These provisions are made in some cases against an individual loan and in other cases on a collective basis.

Collective provisioning
Collective provisions are assessed with reference to risk profile groupings and historical
loss data. Other judgemental factors
including economic and credit cycle considerations are also taken into account in determining appropriate loss propensities to be
applied. The future credit quality of these portfolios is subject to uncertainties that could cause actual credit losses to differ
materially from reported loan impairment provisions. These uncertainties include the wider economic environment, interest rates
and their effect on customer spending, unemployment levels, payment behaviour and bankruptcy rates.

For Behavioural loans, as arrears drive provision outcomes, the trend in arrears behaviour is an indicator of future provisioning
impact. Behavioural loans are classified as either not in arrears, active, arrangement, repossession or recovery. Each arrears
classification carries a provision for potential loss based on historical experience for that classification in the same portfolio. Retail
mortgages currently carry no provision based on historical loss experience, however a general collective provision is held against
this group of loans.  The categories are described below:

Active – loans for which the arrears category has reached 5 days overdue.
  Arrangement – 5 to 34 days overdue accounts for which arrangements have or are in the process of being made for arrears to 
be repaid.
Non-performing / Repossession – residential mortgage loans that are greater than 90 days past due / other loans for which 
security has or is in the process of being repossessed.
  Recovery loans – loans for which security has been sold and shortfalls are being sought from the customer or where other 
recovery action is being taken.

Judgement loans in grades 6 to 8 ordinarily attract a collective provision based on risk grading overlaid with the strength of security
position, except for risk grades 6 which have strong security and accordingly attract no collective provision (typically Rural
exposures). Other collective provisions are also maintained where considered appropriate against a class of loans or those with
common risk characteristics. Judgement loans with a risk grade of 1 to 5 may be past due and not attract a provision if the Group
has reviewed the risk position and it is deemed to remain sound. Under such circumstances normally an amended credit risk
grade will result.

No provision is applied to loans that are newly written and loans that remain within their contractual terms, except where the Group
becomes aware of an event that might alter its view of the risk of a particular deal or group of deals.

For the year ended 30 June 2012

32 Credit risk exposure (continued)
(a) Credit impairment provisioning (continued)

Individual provisioning
Specific impairment provisions are made where events have occurred leading to an expectation of reduced future cash flows from
certain receivables. For individually significant loans for which the assessed risk grade is considered a “potential
loss”, an
individual assessment is made of an appropriate provision for credit impairment. 

impairments are recognised as the difference between the carrying value of

Credit
the loan and the discounted value of
management’s best estimate of future cash repayments and proceeds from any security held (discounted at the loan’s original
effective interest rate). All relevant considerations that have a bearing on the expected future cash flows are taken into account,
including the business prospects for the customer, the likely realisable value of collateral, the Group’s position relative to other
claimants, the reliability of customer information and the likely cost and duration of the work-out process. Subjective judgements
are made in this process. Furthermore, judgement can change with time as new information becomes available or as work-out
strategies evolve, resulting in revisions to the impairment provision as individual decisions are taken. Changes in judgement could
have a material impact on the financial statements.

Individual provisioning in regards to property development lending creates the greatest amount of risk resulting in the possibility of
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Group's assets within the next year. Estimating the timing and amount of
future cash repayments and proceeds from the realisation of collateral are management's most difficult and subjective judgements.
Reduced demand in the current environment has meant that value is difficult to determine. Subjective judgements made by
management comprise the time taken for new sales being achieved and the amount received, determining the timing and amount
of future cash flows.

Because of the wide nature of the collateral held, and the subjective judgements in determining future cash flows on each
individually impaired loan, it is impracticable to provide management's assumptions in regards to property receivables as a whole.

Bad debts
Bad debts provided for are written off against individual or collective provisions. Amounts required to bring the provisions to their
assessed levels are recognised in comprehensive income. Any future recoveries of amounts provided for are taken to
comprehensive income.

Concentration of credit risk
During the year ended 30 June 2012 the Group has amended disclosure in respect of credit risk concentrations to better reflect
the risk characteristics of the Group.  The Group  has the following risk concentrations:

Rural

Property

Corporate

Residential

Consumer

Lending to the farming sector primarily offering livestock, rural mortgage lending,
seasonal and working capital financing, as well as leasing solutions to farmers.

Non-core property assets of MARAC and the Parent.

All other business lending.

A loan secured by a first ranking mortgage over a residential property used primarily for
residential purposes either by the mortgagor or a tenant of the mortgagor.

All other loans to individuals.

Verification
In addition to regular internal audit activity in regards to credit standards, the Group employs a comprehensive process of
hindsighting loans to ensure that credit policies and the quality of credit processes are maintained.

Disclosures in this credit risk exposure note represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.

* In determining the charge for the year, the RECL management agreement has been taken into consideration, refer to Note 29
- Related party transactions and Note 15 - Investment properties for more details.
In assessing the requirements for provisions,
the Group has identified loans for which a loss is expected to be covered by the management agreement of $28.5 million as at
30 June 2012 (June 2011: $11.8 million). Claims of $28.5 million are expected to be made under the RECL Management
Agreement in relation to these losses, and to this extent, the RECL Management Agreement would be fully utilised. The
agreement covers the MARAC non-core property loans with a net book value of $94 million as at 30 June 2012 (June 2011:
$121 million).

In determining the Group's risk grading, the following arrangements have been taken into consideration:

The RECL management agreement, refer to Note 29 - Related party transactions and Note 15 - Investment properties for more
details.
In the risk grading table above, as at 30 June 2012 $48 million (June 2011: $51 million) of Judgement loans have been
transferred from risk grades below Acceptable to an Adequate risk grade as they are covered by the RECL management
agreement. In assessing the requirements for provisions, the Group has identified loans for which a loss is expected to be
covered by the management agreement of $28.5 million as at 30 June 2012 (June 2011: $11.8 million). Claims of $28.5 million
are expected to be made under the RECL Management Agreement in relation to these losses, and to this extent, the RECL
Management Agreement would be fully utilised. The agreement covers the MARAC non-core property loans with a net book
value of $94 million as at 30 June 2012 (June 2011: $121 million).

PGG Wrightson Finance Limited guaranteed loans, refer to Note 36 - Business Combinations.
In the risk grading table above,
as at 30 June 2012 $29 million of Judgement loans have been transferred from risk grades below Acceptable to an Adequate
risk grade as they are covered by the Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity with PGG Wrightson Limited. Subsequent to balance
date, $6.7 million of loans covered under this Deed were recovered and PGG Wrightson Limited was released from their
guarantee in respect of those loans. At balance date, PGG Wrightson Limited had been put on notice that it will be required to
reacquire approximately $3.5 million of loans covered under this Deed.  Subsequent to balance date, Heartland advised PGG
Wrightson Limited that it may require it to reacquire approximately a further $8.3 million of loans covered under this Deed.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty in raising funds at short notice to meet its commitments and
arises from any mismatch of the maturity of financial assets and liabilities. Responsibility for liquidity management is delegated
to the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO), with the Risk Committee providing oversight.

The Group manages liquidity and funding risk by:
- weekly liquidity reporting and scenario analysis to quantify the Group's current and forecast position.
- maintaining a diverse and stable funding base.
- retaining borrowing facilities committed to the Group by registered banks.
- holding a portfolio of liquid assets.
- ensuring the liquidity management framework is compliant with local regulatory requirements.

The following tables show the cash flows on the Group's financial liabilities and unrecognised loan commitments on the basis of
their earliest possible contractual maturity.

In the following tables, total financial assets do not include unrecognised loan commitments and total financial liabilities do not
include undrawn committed bank facilities.

The tables include estimates as to the average interest rate applicable for each asset or liability class during the contractual
term.

The tables above show management's expected maturities of existing financial assets and financial liabilities. 

Expected maturities of financial assets are based on management's best estimate having regard to current market conditions
and past experience. Historical deposit and debenture reinvestment
levels have been applied to deposit and debenture
borrowings.  Other financial liabilities reflect contractual maturities.

The above does not reflect a forward looking view of how the Group expects actual financial assets and liabilities to perform in
the future, as it does not include new lending and borrowing.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that market interest rates will change and impact on the Group’s financial results by affecting the
margin between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Group monitors market interest rates on a daily
basis and regularly reviews interest rate exposure.
Interest rate risk is mitigated by management’s frequent monitoring of the
interest rate repricing profiles of borrowings and finance receivables, and where appropriate, the establishment of derivative
instruments.

Contractual Repricing Analysis
The interest rate risk profile of financial assets and liabilities that follows has been prepared on the basis of maturity or next
repricing date, whichever is earlier.

The tables above illustrate the periods in which the cash flows from interest rate swaps are expected to occur and affect
comprehensive income.

The management of interest rate risk against interest rate gap limits is supplemented by monitoring the sensitivity of the
Group's financial assets and liabilities to various standard and non standard interest rate scenarios. Standard scenarios which
are considered on a monthly basis include a 100 basis point parallel fall or rise in the yield curve. There is no material impact
on comprehensive income in terms of a fair value change from movements in market interest rates. Furthermore there is no
material cash flow impact on the Statements of Cash Flows from a 100 basis point change in interest rates.

Goodwill on acquisition of $20.1 million has arisen due to expected benefits of the newly formed financial services group. The
Society has the benefits of scale and scope and is expected to be value enhancing for all shareholders and offers a better
outcome than could be expected as standalone entities.

Goodwill of $20.1 million has not been allocated to individual cash generating units, as the future economic benefit
attributable to all business units.  The Group's management and board continue to monitor goodwill at a total level.

(b) Purchase of PGG Wrightson Finance Limited

On 31 August 2011, the Society acquired 100% of PWF from PGW. PWF offers a wide range of financial services, specialising
in the rural sector. 

The purchase price was $98.0 million being an amount equal to the net tangible assets of PWF, adjusted to take account of
certain agreed items.  In consideration:



PGW retained certain loans, most of which were impaired (excluded loans). PWF transferred these excluded loans to a
special purpose vehicle (SPV) established by PGW. This resulted in a debt being owed by the SPV back to PWF of $73.1
million.

 The Society paid PGW cash of $24.9 million.

Contemporaneously, the Company issued $10.0 million of Heartland New Zealand Limited (HNZ) shares to PGW.

On 31 August 2011, immediately prior to settlement, $52.7 million of loans not previously recorded in the accounts of PWF that
were subject to a risk sharing agreement between PWF and ASB Bank were purchased by PWF for cash. Of these loans $37.3
million form part of the finance receivables purchased by Heartland and $15.4 million were excluded loans transferred to the
SPV.

receivables acquired to $401 million.

** Due to related parties consists of PWF's borrowings acquired of $408.8 million which were transferred to become deposits in

As part of the acquisition, the Society and PGW entered into a Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity in relation to the Recourse
Loans, with book value on acquisition of $30.6 million. This arrangement provides the Society with a guarantee from PGW in
relation to the future payment of principal and interest on the Recourse Loans for a prescribed period of three years. As at 30
June 2012, total recourse loans of $28.9 million are included in the Group's finance receivables.

June 2012, relating to external
legal fees and due diligence costs. These costs are included in selling and administration
expenses.

Independent auditor’s report 

To the shareholders of Heartland New Zealand Limited 

Report on the company and group financial statements 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Heartland New Zealand Limited (the 
“company”) and the group, comprising the company and its subsidiaries, on pages 17 to 56. The 
financial  statements  comprise  the  statements  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2012,  the 
statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, 
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, for both the 
company and the group. 

Directors' responsibility for the company and group financial statements 

The directors are responsible for the preparation of company and group financial statements in 
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  practice  in  New  Zealand  and  International 
Financial Reporting Standards that give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate, 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 
company and group financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to 
fraud or error. 

Auditor’s responsibility 

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  company  and  group  financial  statements 
based  on  our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  International  Standards  on 
Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and 
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the company and group 
financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and 
disclosures in the company and group financial statements. The procedures selected depend on 
the  auditor’s  judgement,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the 
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor 
considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  company  and  group’s  preparation  of  the  financial 
statements that give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate in order to design 
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  company  and  group's  internal  control.  An  audit  also 
includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates, as well as evaluating the presentation of the financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a 
basis for our audit opinion. 

Our  firm  has  also  provided  other  services  to  the  company  and  group  in  relation  to  general 
accounting services. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also 
deal  with  the  company  and  group  on  normal  terms  within  the  ordinary  course  of  trading 
activities  of  the  business  of  the  company  and  group.  These  matters  have  not  impaired  our 
independence as auditor of the company and group. The firm has no other relationship with, or 
interest in, the company and group.
