Executive Chairman & Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chairman Letter On behalf of the Board of Directors we would like to welcome you to our inaugural Annual Report. Since our IPO in October 2019, the Group has continued to grow and evolve in what has been a challenging environment with high levels of uncertainty and disruption caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the year we have endeavoured to be proactive and decisive in managing the social and operational risks associated with the pandemic so as to ensure the safety of our employees, customers and the viability of tenants across our centres. Despite the COVID-19 disruption the portfolio has continued to mature. We now have 351 freehold assets covering 1.3 million sqm of land, and importantly our assets have a low site coverage ratio of 32% providing a base for further sustainable growth. The Group’s maiden full year results have delivered against our prospectus forecasts and highlighted the strength of our portfolio. The key financial and operational highlights of the result were: Financial Highlights • FY20 pro-forma freehold FFO of $17.2m, 13% ahead of prospectus forecast; • Jun-20 portfolio valuations increased 5.2% (1.7% net of capex) versus Dec-19 portfolio valuations2; • 12 cps fully franked FY20 total dividend; and • Pro-forma Jun-20 gearing of 32.4% and liquidity of $109 million2. Operational Highlights • $1.2 billion AUM reflecting 30% growth in AUM1 since IPO; • Sustainable and resilient cash flows backed by a long WALE of 8.1 years3; • Occupancy of 97.8%, an increase of over 5% since the IPO4; • Trading occupancy of 91.1%4 increasing from 81.3% at the time of the IPO; and • Annual like-for-like Jun-20 and Jul-20-foot traffic growth of 18% and 16% respectively compared to the prior corresponding period5. It was pleasing to deliver such a strong set of results for our first full year reporting period. HomeCo’s unique tenant mix and the competitive rent levels we offer to our tenants ensure the group is well positioned going forward. Our innovative retail and services property offering has resonated with tenants and consumers throughout the year and has enabled us to establish a portfolio of properties anchored by quality tenants with long term leases. We have also capitalised on a number of value-accretive investment opportunities, through both development and acquisition. We will continue to progress capital partnering and funds management initiatives such as the Daily Needs REIT and the Health and Wellness fund which will generate annuity style management fee income. Importantly we will maintain an appropriate capital structure in pursuing these initiatives so that we can continue to deliver sustainable, above average, risk adjusted returns to Securityholders through a combination of regular dividend income and capital growth. Excludes Ballarat which is expected to settle in 2022. 1. 2. As at 30 June 2020. 3. Based on signed leases and MOU’s across freehold operating assets. 4. By GLA across 22 operating centres. 5. Across all freehold and leasehold operating centres. Annual Report 2020 11 COVID-19 The volatility and uncertainty caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption for all our stakeholders, however we have continued to operate effectively, constantly progressing our strategy to Own, Develop and Manage real assets. Our focus on delivering hyper convenient, neighbourhood shopping and services centres and our proactive approach to engaging with our tenants have enabled us to perform throughout the COVID period. In taking a partnership approach with our tenants and pro-actively dealing with the uncertainty generated by the pandemic, we have consolidated an industry leading position with 99% of FY20 tenant COVID-19 rent relief agreed and documented. Our approach has also ensured we are well positioned to continue writing new leases with both existing and new tenants going forward. Importantly, the FY20 cash flow impact from COVID-19 was fully offset by corporate cost savings and a small reduction in the final FY20 Dividend to 7.5 cps. Our pro-active approach has been rewarded with cash collections of approximately 94% over July and August. We believe HomeCo is well placed to withstand any future COVID-19 developments with a strong liquidity position, diversified tenant mix and competitive rent offering. Developments In FY20 we delivered our centres at Hawthorn East, Keysborough and Coffs Harbour. Since the IPO we have leased over 50,000 sqm of Gross Lettable Area (“GLA”) and we are currently developing a number of centres representing approximately 80,000 sqm of GLA. Acquisitions & Equity Raising In July, the Group announced the acquisition of three Woolworths anchored, convenience-based neighbourhood centres from Woolworths Group for $127.8 million and the acquisition of Aurrum Erina, a 250-bed residential aged care home providing person-centred care excellence. The site was acquired for $32.6 million on a sale and leaseback. We also entered a binding contract to acquire the Parafield Retail Complex for $25.5 million. Importantly the acquisitions increased our exposure to daily needs and health & wellness services tenants to 47%6. Pleasingly, the three properties acquired from Woolworths are all anchored by Woolworths supermarkets on brand new 10-year leases, strengthening our relationship with Woolworths as both a partner and key tenant. 6. By gross income. The Aurrum Erina asset is a significant 250 bed aged-care facility located on the NSW Central Coast which will be an important seed asset as HomeCo looks to increase its exposure to Health and Wellness Services tenants in preparation for the establishment of our Health and Wellness fund in 2021. The Parafield Retail Complex is located close to Parafield airport approximately 12km from the Adelaide CBD. The site includes 3.7 hectares of land with total lettable area of approximately 15,500 sqm. The acquisitions were funded by a $140 million placement to institutional investors and a Securityholder Purchase Plan (“SPP”) with existing Securityholders. It was pleasing to receive such a high level of interest from both existing securityholders and new investors, with demand well in excess of the targeted amount. Critically, the acquisitions will form the foundation for the next phase of HomeCo’s evolution under the ‘Own, Develop and Manage’ model. Strategic Initiatives At the time of releasing our FY20 full year results, we also announced our intention to establish an ASX listed Daily Needs REIT (“DN REIT”) and we provided an update on our plans to create a Health & Wellness fund. Planning and execution of the DN REIT is advanced with an ASX listing expected by the end of November 2020 via an in-specie distribution to HomeCo Securityholders. On completion of the in-specie distribution HomeCo Securityholders will have an investment in two companies, each characterised by their own investment attributes: • DN REIT: 100% owned portfolio of stabilised, convenience-based Daily Needs assets with consistent, growing distributions to Securityholders; and • HomeCo: owner, developer and manager of diversified assets including the DN REIT and the Health and Wellness fund. “Despite the COVID-19 disruption the portfolio has continued to develop. We now have 35 freehold centres covering 1.3 million sqm of land, importantly our assets have a low site coverage ratio of 32% providing a base for further sustainable growth.” 12 HomeCo. The portfolio of assets for the Daily Needs REIT will be comprised of metro located, convenience-based assets across Neighbourhood centres, Large Format Retail and Healthcare. The portfolio will be stabilised with approximately 98% occupancy across operating assets and an 8.4-year WALE. It will have approximately 77% exposure to national tenants, and limited exposure to specialty tenants. The portfolio has been designed to achieve diversification across sub-sectors, tenants, and geographies. In designing the portfolio, we have considered long term historical returns across sub-sectors and evolving trends. The portfolio is well positioned to deliver resilient future cash flows and underlying capital growth to securityholders. Following the establishment of the ASX listed DN REIT, the group will focus on the Health & Wellness fund. HomeCo currently has $150 million of Health & Wellness focused assets on its balance sheet and a significant pipeline of development opportunities. Our material exposure to health, childcare & education, government services and wellness tenants means we are well placed to introduce external capital to the Health & Wellness fund. Planning for the fund is well underway and we expect to establish the fund in 2021. We will continue to update Securityholders as plans for the Daily Needs REIT and the Health and Wellness fund develop. Post the establishment of the Daily Needs REIT and the Health & Wellness fund, HomeCo will retain approximately $500 million of existing operating assets on its balance sheet and will be a more capital light vehicle with diversified income streams across rental income, co-investments and management & development fees. This will provide the platform for HomeCo to continue to unlock additional value through capital recycling and the introduction of external capital. Outlook HomeCo remains on track to deliver above average risk-adjusted returns to Securityholders. We will continue to focus on building a platform for sustainable long-term growth via the ‘Own, Develop and Manage’ model. Our team has worked diligently throughout the 2020 financial year to achieve such significant progress since listing on the ASX less than 12 months ago. We firmly believe the quality of our people is a major driver of the value we are creating for Securityholders. On behalf of the Board of Directors we would like to thank our Securityholders for your ongoing support of HomeCo.

Review of operations and financial performance A summary of the financial performance of the group for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 is outlined below. Currency: $m (unless specified) Total revenue Net profit/(loss) after tax Funds from operation (‘FFO’) FFO per stapled security (cents) Freehold properties 30 June 2020 Leasehold properties 30 June 2020 Consolidated 30 June 2020 Consolidated 30 June 2019 Consolidated Variance Consolidated Variance 62.3 6.0 10.1 5.0 11.0 (8.8) (15.7) (7.9) 73.3 (2.8) (5.6) (2.9) 49.2 (22.6) +24.1 +19.8 +49% +88% (41.0) +35.4 +86% (43.9) +41.0 +93% Home Consortium’s financial performance for the financial year was influenced by the completion of the $325 million ASX listing and refinancing of existing debt facilities in October 2019 resulting in a significant reduction in its cost of debt. 19 The completion of these activities provided the group with increased funding to continue its strategy of owning, developing and managing a freehold portfolio of hyper‑convenience centres. During the financial year, Home Consortium completed the acquisition of three centres (Hawthorn East VIC, Upper Coomera QLD and Coffs Harbour NSW) and the completion of the development of two hyper‑convenience centres (Hawthorn East VIC and Keysborough VIC). During the financial year, agreements were also entered into to acquire the Ballarat and Parafield leasehold properties. At the time of the ASX listing a $60 million Lease Mitigation Account (‘LMA’) was established to provide funding for the lease mitigation strategy to surrender, repurpose or acquire the leasehold properties. Since ASX listing the LMA was used to execute this strategy and as at 30 June 2020 the remaining leasehold properties was reduced to nine and the net leasehold liability to $58.3 million (2019: $110.8 million). Home Consortium reported a consolidated statutory loss after tax of $2.8 million representing a $19.8 million improvement versus the prior comparable period which was driven by: • $24.1 million increase in revenue resulting from completion of acquisitions, developments and lease up of vacancies at operating sites; • $10.7 million decrease in net finance costs; and • $5.1 million increase in net fair value gains on investment properties (both freehold and leasehold). The Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic has also materially impacted the financial performance of the group during the financial year with government imposed trading restrictions and isolation measures impacting tenants across the group. Home Consortium has taken a partnership approach in working with its tenants to support and assist them through the impact of COVID‑19. The group has worked within the framework of the Code of Conduct (‘Code’) for small to medium sized enterprises and in the spirit of the Code for larger tenants. The group also agreed extensions to lease terms for a number of tenants who received its support providing additional contracted future rental revenue. The group provided rental relief to its tenants through a combination of rent waivers, one‑off lease incentives and rent deferrals. Home Consortium’s estimate of the loss of revenue relating to COVID‑19 rental relief is $5.3 million for the financial year, of which $2.8 million was expensed and $2.5 million has been treated as an incentive and capitalised. An additional $1.4 million in rent was deferred and is expected to be collected subsequent to 30 June 2020. The group also received government assistance from JobKeeper of $0.2 million for the financial year.

Investment properties – freehold The freehold portfolio comprised 30 (2019: 27) freehold assets as at 30 June 2020 valued at $1,013.8 million (30 June 2019: $771.0 million). The increase in freehold properties was driven by acquisition and capital expenditure of $213.6 million with the acquisition of Hawthorn East VIC, Upper Coomera QLD, and Coffs Harbour NSW and the completion of two developments Hawthorn East VIC and Keysborough VIC. A fair value gain of $17.6 million was recognised as at 30 June 2020 (2019: $3.2 million). The weighted average capitalisation rate of the portfolio was 6.6% at 30 June 2020, compared to 6.9% at 30 June 2019. The group also commenced the development of three new properties located at Coffs Harbour NSW, Richlands QLD and Cairns QLD during the financial year. Adjusted net tangible assets Adjusted net tangible assets (‘NTA’) is calculated as the NTA of freehold properties only and excludes all NTA associated with the leasehold properties including the LMA (‘Adjusted NTA’). The group reported Adjusted NTA of $3.20 per stapled security as at 30 June 2020 ($4.19 per stapled security as at 30 June 2019). The decrease on the prior comparable period was driven by the impact of the $350 million equity raising of which $60 million was allocated to the LMA for the leasehold properties which is excluded from the calculation. Capital management The group entered into a new senior secured syndicated debt facility totalling $500 million which refinanced all existing debt facilities in October 2019. As at 30 June 2020 the group had $366.0 million of drawn debt, a gearing ratio of 35.6% and cash and undrawn debt of $136.9 million as detailed in the table below. The group also entered into interest rate swaps and hedged debt as a percentage of drawn debt was 47.8% as at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: nil). The group’s cost of debt was 2.42% p.a. as at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: 6.1%).

The LMA was subsequently used to finance the surrender of two leasehold properties and termination payments in relation to all of the four properties with surrender top‑up arrangements. In addition, the group continued re‑purposing other leasehold properties including Chullora as well as additional tenancies across other individual leasehold properties. As a result of the lease mitigation activities for the financial year the leasehold net present value (‘NPV’) reduced to $58.3 million as at 30 June 2020 with nine leasehold properties remaining (30 June 2019: $110.8 million). During the financial year agreements were also entered into to acquire the Ballarat and Parafield leasehold properties. Under the Lease Mitigation Deed, the foundation securityholders have certain obligations to make additional payments to the LMA on each Minimum Balance Review Date at 30 June and 31 December each year, to ensure that the pro‑forma cash balance available in the LMA as at 31 March and 30 September of each year is an amount not less than the lesser of: • $30 million (such amount to increase by CPI at 30 June each year); and • an amount equal to 110% of the NPV of the Leasehold Liabilities (as set out in the audited or reviewed consolidated financial statements of Home Consortium for the period ending 30 June or 31 December of that year, as applicable) unless the NPV is equal to or less than $5 million, where the percentage shall be 100%. A summary of the calculation as at the Minimum Balance Review Date of 30 June 2020 is outlined below. In accordance with the Lease Mitigation Deed, an additional deposit will be required to maintain the required minimum balance as at 30 September 2020. Currency: $m (unless specified) NPV of Leasehold Liabilities Minimum Balance: the lesser of (a) or (b) Initial Minimum Balance x CPI (June 2020)/CPI (June 2019) (a) New Minimum Balance (b) NPV of Leasehold Liabilities x 110% LMA – credit balance as at 30 June 2020 Additional minimum deposit required (prior to 30 September 2020) Dividends Dividends paid during the financial year were as follows: Interim dividend for the year ended 30 June 2020 of 4.50 cents per ordinary share (2019: nil) 30 June 2020 58.3 29.9 30.0 99.65% 29.9 64.2 26.7 3.2 Consolidated 30 June 2020 $m 30 June 2019 $m 8.9 – On 25 August 2020 the directors declared a fully franked dividend of 7.5 cents per ordinary share to be paid on 18 September 2020 to eligible shareholders on the register as at 4 September 2020. Significant changes in the state of affairs Other than the matters described in the ‘Review of operations and financial performance’ detailed above, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the group during the financial year. Annual Report 2020 22 HomeCo. Directors’ report continued Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year Strategic acquisitions and equity raising On 1 July 2020, Home Consortium announced a number of strategic property acquisitions comprising: • Acquisition of three Woolworths anchored convenience‑based neighbourhood centres from Woolworths Group for $127.8 million; and • Acquisition of Aurrum Erina residential aged care property (‘Aurrum Erina’) for $32.6 million on a sale and lease back, subject to securityholder approval. The acquisitions were funded by $140.0 million fully underwritten institutional placement on 7 July 2020 at $2.88 per security and a non‑underwritten share purchase plan which raised $10.6 million on 28 July 2020. New equity raised will also support the funding of the Parafield acquisition announced during the financial year. As part of the Aurrum Erina acquisition Home Consortium is proposing to issue to the vendor $20 million of securities at $2.88 per security together with $12.6 million cash as consideration. The issue of securities and acquisition of Aurrum Erina will be conditional on receiving security holder approval which is scheduled for 1 September 2020. Proposed security restructure On 11 August 2020, Home Consortium announced that it had entered into an agreement with Woolworths Group Limited (‘Woolworths’) and Home Investment Consortium Company Pty Limited as trustee of the Home Investment Consortium Trust (‘HICT’) to propose a restructure of the existing security that Woolworths holds for its guarantee of the leasehold properties. The initial security arrangements were entered into with Woolworths in 2017 as part of the acquisition of the former Masters property portfolio, including a second ranking security over Home Consortium’s assets. As a result of the proposed transaction Home Consortium’s company structure will be simplified with no leasehold properties or legacy guarantees remaining within the group. The entity holding the guaranteed leases and LMA would be transferred to HICT resulting in no change in economic exposure as HICT already provides an indemnity to Home Consortium. Home Consortium will seek security holder approval for this proposal at its 2020 annual general meeting to be held on 18 November 2020. COVID‑19 The impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic is ongoing following the recent Stage 4 restrictions for the Melbourne metropolitan area and Stage 3 restrictions for regional Victoria announced by the Victorian Government. Home Consortium’s Victorian freehold portfolio comprises eight operating centres including the recent acquisition of a Woolworths supermarket in Rosenthal VIC and one development property. Whilst seven of the eight operating centres in Victoria have either a supermarket, pharmacy or medical centre as an anchor tenant the outlook remains uncertain. Apart from the dividend declared as discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the group’s state of affairs in future financial years. Likely developments and expected results of operations The group’s objective is to provide security holders with above average risk‑adjusted returns through a combination of regular dividend income and capital growth by investing in hyper‑convenience based retail and services assets. The group intends to achieve this objective by continuing to pursue the following activities in delivering its strategy: • own, develop and manage a portfolio of properties that are anchored by tenants with long‑term leases and an increasing exposure to non‑discretionary and healthcare tenants; • capitalise on other value‑accretive investment opportunities, including brownfield and greenfield developments (given a low 32% site coverage ratio) and acquisitions; and • pursue future capital partnering and funds management initiatives to generate annuity style management fee income. 23 Environmental regulation The directors are satisfied that adequate systems are in place to manage the group’s environmental responsibility and compliance with regulations. The directors are not aware of any material breaches of environmental regulations and, to the best of their knowledge and belief, all activities have been undertaken in compliance with environmental requirements.

The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. Indemnity and insurance of auditor To the extent permitted by law, Home Consortium has agreed to indemnify its auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, as part of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit arising from Home Consortium’s breach of their agreement. The indemnity stipulates that Home Consortium will meet the full amount of any such liabilities including a reasonable amount of legal costs. No payment has been made to indemnify PricewaterhouseCoopers during the financial year and up to the date of this report. Proceedings on behalf of Home Consortium No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of Home Consortium, or to intervene in any proceedings to which Home Consortium is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of Home Consortium for all or part of those proceedings. Annual Report 2020 24 HomeCo. Directors’ report continued Non‑audit services Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non‑audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in Note 28 to the financial statements. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non‑audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 28 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: • all non‑audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision‑making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. Officers of the Home Consortium who are former partners of PricewaterhouseCoopers There are no officers of Home Consortium who are former partners of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Auditor’s independence declaration A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors’ report. Auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001. 25 Letter from the Chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Dear Securityholders, On behalf of the Board of Directors (‘the Board’) and as Chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, I am pleased to present Home Consortium’s remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020. Remuneration philosophy and framework The group’s executive remuneration philosophy is to ensure that reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework is built on rewarding exceptional effort where value is created for securityholders and includes benchmarked total remuneration comprising base salary, short term incentives and long term incentives. The Board strives to ensure that executive reward satisfies key criteria consistent with good reward governance practices, such as competitiveness and fairness, acceptability to stapled security holders, performance alignment of executive compensation as well as transparency and clarity. Performance for the year ended 30 June 2020 The Board considers that the group has performed well in a challenging market. Each member of the management team demonstrated considerable effort, both individually and collectively, to respond to the uncertain financial implications of the COVID‑19 pandemic. Our platform of hyper‑convenience with each centre anchored by predominantly national retailers spanning daily needs and services enterprises, combined with the drive and initiative of the management team proactively engaging with our tenants has positioned the group well during an uncertain and unprecedented time. The group delivered on its value accretive objectives with total shareholder returns outperforming the benchmark S&P/ASX 300 A‑REIT index. Two key highlights achieved in spite of COVID‑19 challenges were: • freehold pro‑forma year ended 30 June 2020 (‘FY20’) FFO of $17.2 million – an out performance of 13.2% versus the Prospectus forecast of $15.2 million; and • 12.35% outperformance versus the S&P/ASX 300 A‑REIT index. COVID‑19 related remuneration adjustments for the year ended 30 June 2020 In response to the impacts on the group from COVID‑19, the directors and executives also agreed an abatement of their cash remuneration for FY20 including: • Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer fixed remuneration being reduced by 100% for the period of 3 months to 30 June 2020; • Director’s cash fees being reduced by 50% for the period of 3 months to 30 June 2020; and • Key management personnel forgoing the cash component of their short‑term incentive plan for the full year FY20 period. As compensation for the above reduction in cash remuneration the group announced on 5 June 2020 that it intended to provide a one‑off grant of share rights, the details of which are outlined in this report. Overall, the Board aims to ensure that the group’s remuneration platform is both market competitive and fair to all stakeholders and we will continue to review and assess the effectiveness of our remuneration framework in order to motivate and retain our senior executives. This is the first remuneration report of the group. We are looking to further enhance the report for the coming year and we welcome any feedback that investors may have. Chris Saxon Chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee 25 August 2020 Annual Report 2020 26 HomeCo. Directors’ report continued Remuneration report (audited) The remuneration report details the key management personnel (‘KMP’) remuneration arrangements for the group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. KMP are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the group, directly or indirectly, including all directors. The KMP of the group consisted of the following directors of Home Consortium: • David Di Pilla – Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (appointed on 11 October 2017); • Chris Saxon – Deputy Chairman and Lead Independent Non‑Executive Director (appointed on 23 September 2019); • Zac Fried – Non‑Executive Director (appointed on 23 September 2019); • Greg Hayes – Non‑Executive Director (appointed on 23 September 2019); • Jane McAloon – Independent Non‑Executive Director (appointed on 23 September 2019); and • Brendon Gale – Independent Non‑Executive Director (appointed on 23 September 2019). The KMP of the group also includes the following executives: • Sid Sharma – Chief Operating Officer; • Will McMicking – Finance and Strategy Director; • Andrew Selim – General Counsel and Company Secretary; and • Andrew Boustred – Development Director. This remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: • Governance framework; • Employment agreements; • Details of remuneration for the financial year; • Share‑based compensation; • Additional information; and • Additional disclosures relating to KMP. Governance framework The Remuneration and Nomination Committee consists of the following three Independent Non‑Executive Directors: • Christopher Saxon (Committee Chair); • Jane McAloon; and • Brendon Gale. The Committee’s role and objectives are to support and advise the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to security holders and employees of the group by endeavouring to ensure that: • directors and senior executives of the group are remunerated fairly, appropriately and transparently; • the remuneration policies and outcomes of the group strike an appropriate balance between the interests of the group’s security holders and rewarding and motivating executives and employees in order to secure the long term benefits from their energy and loyalty; and • short and long term incentives are linked to the creation of sustainable security holder returns. 27 Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The Board, with the assistance of Remuneration and Nomination Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that seeks to be market competitive and to align performance measures to the achievement of the group’s strategic objectives. The reward framework is also designed to align executive reward to stapled security holders’ interests. The Board has considered that it should seek to enhance stapled security holders’ interests by: • having economic profit as a core component of plan design; • focusing on sustained growth in stapled security holder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non‑financial drivers of value; and • attracting and retaining high calibre executives. Additionally, the reward framework seeks to enhance executives’ interests by: • rewarding capability and experience; • reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in stapled security holder wealth; and • providing a clear structure for earning rewards. In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non‑executive director and executive director remuneration is separate. Non‑executive directors remuneration Fees and payments to non‑executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non‑executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non‑executive directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. Subject to ASX listing rules, Home Consortium may from time to time determine the maximum aggregate remuneration to be provided to the directors in a general meeting. Until a different amount is determined, under Home Consortium’s constitution, the amount of the maximum aggregate remuneration is $1,000,000 per annum. The annual non‑executive directors’ base fee agreed to be paid by the group to each of the non‑executive directors is $100,000 per annum. Non‑executive directors will also be paid committee fees of $20,000 per year for each Board Committee of which they are a chair or $10,000 for each Board Committee of which they are a member. All non‑executive directors’ fees are inclusive of statutory superannuation contributions. 50% of the base annual cash fee can be salary sacrificed to be received as rights in any 12‑month period. COVID‑19 grant of share rights in lieu of FY20 directors’ fees The group has provided a one‑off grant of share rights as compensation for the reduction in cash remuneration for non‑executive directors’ fees. The number of rights to be granted has been calculated by dividing the cash remuneration forgone by the volume weighted average price (‘VWAP’) of Home Consortium’s securities over the 20 trading days following Home Consortium’s ASX trading update on 7 May 2020. These dates were selected on the basis that this was the period during which the compensation reductions (and other cash flow preservation measures) were in place and the group’s business was impacted by the COVID‑19 pandemic. The VWAP has been calculated to be $2.81. The rights granted under the offer will vest automatically if the relevant non‑executive director continues to hold office at the vesting date in 2 years and is not subject to any performance hurdles. Annual Report 2020 28 HomeCo. Directors’ report continued Executive remuneration The group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components. The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components: • base pay; • short‑term performance incentives; • share‑based payments; and • other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave. The combination of these comprises the relevant executive’s total remuneration. Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary and superannuation, is reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the group and comparable market remuneration. Short‑term incentive plan (‘STIP’) The STIP is designed to provide executives with an opportunity to be rewarded based on performance over the financial year. It provides them with an ability to earn a maximum percentage of current annual fixed remuneration subject to meeting applicable performance and service conditions over the performance period. STIP payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators (‘KPIs’) being achieved as well as an overview of their contribution to the organisation. KPIs vary according to the areas of responsibility for each STIP participant. Following the end of the performance period awards are determined based on the extent to which the performance and service conditions are satisfied. In addition, it is important to note that the group deemed it appropriate to establish a threshold test for STIP payments linked to achievement of the Freehold FFO per share detailed below. The FY20 STIP is subject to the following performance conditions tested over the performance period: • the group’s Prospectus FY20 Freehold FFO per security (as a mandatory condition); and • individual KPIs agreed with each member of the KMP. The STIP is an annual plan with maximum FY20 payments of between 30% to 40% of base salary. David Di Pilla, the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has elected not to participate in the FY20 STIP. However, his performance, while not relevant to FY20 STIP, has been reviewed by the Board in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement. The FY20 STIP was originally intended to be paid in cash but in response to the impacts from COVID‑19 the executives agreed to forgo any cash payable under the FY20 STIP. The Board has resolved that this cash entitlement be replaced with a one‑off grant of share rights equal to the forgone cash remuneration (the details of which are outlined below). 29 COVID‑19 grant of share rights in lieu of reduced FY20 cash remuneration for executives The group has provided a one‑off grant of share rights as compensation for the reduction in cash remuneration for executives including the Executive Chairman. The number of rights to be granted has been calculated by dividing the cash remuneration forgone by the ‘VWAP’ of Home Consortium’s securities over the twenty trading days following Home Consortium’s ASX trading update on 7 May 2020. These dates were selected on the basis that this was the period during which the compensation reductions (and other cash flow preservation measures) were in place and the group’s business was impacted by the COVID‑19 pandemic. The VWAP has been calculated to be $2.81. The rights granted under the offer will only vest upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions, being (i) continuing employment at the vesting date; and (ii) Home Consortium’s security price reaching $3.35 over 20 trading days following the group’s FY22 full‑year results announcement. In the case of executives other than Chief Executive Officer, who has not participated in FY20 STIP, the quantum of rights granted has been determined by reference to the extent to which their respective STIP performance conditions were satisfied at the end of FY20. Long‑term incentive plan (‘LTIP’) The LTIP awards share‑based payments to executives over a period of three years based on long‑term incentive measures. These include increase in stapled security holders value relative to the increase compared to the group’s direct competitors and achievement of target FFO of the group. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviewed the long‑term equity‑linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the year ended 30 June 2020. KMP are eligible to participate in LTIP of up to 40% of their base salary. During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the group granted 374,627 share rights (‘FY20 LTIP Awards’) to KMP vesting over a three‑year period. The share rights are subject to the KMP meeting the service condition and the following performance conditions: • Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’) condition: 50% will vest based on group’s total securityholder return measured against a comparator group consisting of Australia Real Estate Investment Trusts in the S&P/ASX300. Vesting occurs at 50% when the group is at the 50th percentile of the comparator group and at 100% at or above the 75th percentile. Between the 50th and 75th percentile, the share rights will vest on a straight‑line basis; and • Freehold FFO per security condition: 50% will vest based on the group’s aggregate Freehold FFO per security. Vesting occurs on a sliding scale of 50% vesting at the threshold (being 97.5% of Freehold FFO target) to 100% vesting at maximum performance (being at or above 100% of Freehold FFO target). LTIP is settled in cash or issue of shares at the discretion of the Board. The FY20 LTIP Awards will be tested over the performance period of approximately three years from the date of grant, will vest immediately following the announcement of the FY22 financial results and expire two years following the vesting date. Use of remuneration consultants During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the group engaged Ernst & Young to provide remuneration benchmarking insights on the group’s employee equity plan. None of these services contained any remuneration recommendations in relation to KMPs. Annual Report 2020 30 HomeCo.

The STIP amounts awarded reflect the substantial achievement of KPIs that vary according to the responsibility of each STIP participant. While the individual performance of each KMP resulted in 90% award of maximum FY20 STIP, certain measures of their performance were not achieved due to COVID‑19’s impact on the group and on that basis 10% was forfeited.

General information The financial statements cover Home Consortium as a group consisting of Home Consortium Limited (the ‘Company’, ‘parent entity’ or ‘HCL’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year and Home Consortium Developments Limited (‘HCDL’) (collectively referred to as ‘Home Consortium’, ‘group’ or ‘stapled group’) (refer to Note 2). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Home Consortium’s functional and presentation currency. Home Consortium Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is: 19 Bay Street Double Bay NSW 2028 A description of the nature of the group’s operations and its principal activities are included in the directors’ report, which is not part of the financial statements. The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 25 August 2020. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. Note 2. Stapling of Home Consortium Developments Limited and ASX listing of Home Consortium During the year, the shares in HCDL, a newly formed entity, were stapled to the shares in HCL to form stapled securities such that shares in HCL and HCDL must be purchased or sold together. The stapled securities, known as “Home Consortium” were admitted to the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) on 11 October 2019 with the ASX code HMC. HCL and HCDL remain separate legal entities in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. These financial statements present both the financial statements and accompanying notes of HCL and its controlled entities and HCDL jointly as permitted by ASIC Corporations (Stapled Group Reports) Instrument 2015/838. HCL is the deemed parent of the stapled group in accordance with AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’. The contributed equity and retained earnings of HCDL is shown as a non‑controlling interest in these financial statements even though the equity holders of HCDL (the acquiree) are also equity holders in HCL (the acquirer) by virtue of the stapling arrangement. Note 3. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the group for the financial year ended 30 June 2020. With the exception of AASB 16 ‘Leases’ which was early adopted in the previous financial year with effect from 1 July 2018, any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for‑profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). Annual Report 2020 42 HomeCo. Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments and revaluation of investment properties at fair value through profit or loss. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4. Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 32. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Home Consortium Limited and Home Consortium Developments Limited as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de‑consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non‑controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Where the group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non‑controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. Operating segments Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’), which is the Board of Directors. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. Revenue recognition The group recognises revenue as follows: Property rental income Property rental income is recognised on a straight‑line basis over the lease term for leases with fixed rate or guaranteed minimum rent review clauses, net of incentives. Home Consortium Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 43 Other property income Other property income represents direct and indirect outgoings. The group recognises direct and indirect outgoings based on actual costs incurred in accordance with the terms of the related leases. Actual costs reflect the service provided. The amount of recoveries revenue is determined by the actual cost incurred and the terms in the lease. The outgoings recovered are recognised over the period the services are provided. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Government grants Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. Home Consortium Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly‑owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group. Annual Report 2020 44 HomeCo. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. Current and non‑current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non‑current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non‑current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non‑current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non‑current. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short‑term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. The group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Debts that are known to be uncollectable are written off when identified. Derivative financial instruments Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. Movements in fair value are recognised directly in profit or loss. Non‑current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale Non‑current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. For non‑current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non‑current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non‑current assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. Non‑current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised. Home Consortium Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 45 Non‑current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities. Investment properties Investment properties comprise of freehold and leasehold investment properties held at fair value through profit or loss. Freehold properties Freehold properties are held for long‑term rental and capital appreciation. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, including transaction costs, and are subsequently remeasured annually at fair value. Movements in fair value are recognised directly to profit or loss. Investment properties are derecognised when disposed of or when there is no future economic benefit expected. Gains or losses resulting from the disposal of freehold property is measured as the difference between the latest carrying value of the asset at the date of disposal and is recognised when control over the property has been transferred. Leasehold properties Leasehold properties are investment properties that are located on leased premises. In turn these leases are often for long periods of time. The group is a lessee in respect of the lease and applies AASB 16 ‘Leases’ to the lease. The group leases various properties under head lease agreements (ground leases) for the sub‑letting to tenants. Leases range in term from 7 to 16 years. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The group recognises the right‑of‑use asset as investment property. Right‑of‑use assets are measured at fair value which reflects the expected cash flows, including variable lease payments that are expected to become payable. The value of any recognised lease liability is then added back to the fair value to determine the carrying value of the investment property. Leasing costs and tenant incentives Leasing costs Leasing costs are costs that are directly associated with negotiating and arranging an operating lease (including commissions, fees and costs of preparing and processing documentation for new leases). These costs are capitalised and amortised on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease. Tenant incentives Incentives such as cash, rent‑free periods, lessee or lessor owned fit‑outs may be provided to lessees to enter into a lease. These incentives are capitalised and are amortised on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of rental income. The carrying amount of the tenant incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties. Right‑of‑use assets A right‑of‑use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right‑of‑use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right‑of‑use assets are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right‑of‑use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right‑of‑use assets that meet the definition of investment property are measured at fair value where the group has adopted a fair value measurement basis for investment property assets, as described above. Annual Report 2020 46 HomeCo. The group has elected not to recognise a right‑of‑use asset and corresponding lease liability for short‑term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low‑value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short‑term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right‑of‑use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right‑of‑use asset is fully written down. Finance costs Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre‑tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Employee benefits Short‑term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‑monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Home Consortium Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 47 Other long‑term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Defined contribution superannuation expense Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Share‑based payments Equity‑settled share‑based compensation benefits are provided to directors and employees. Equity‑settled transactions are awards of shares, rights over shares or options over shares, that are provided to directors and employees in exchange for the rendering of services. The cost of equity‑settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black‑Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non‑vesting conditions that do not determine whether the group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. The cost of equity‑settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied. If equity‑settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share‑based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. If the non‑vesting condition is within the control of the group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. If equity‑settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification. Annual Report 2020 48 HomeCo. Fair value measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non‑financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non‑financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For recurring and non‑recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data. Contributed capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Dividends Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Home Consortium, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. Home Consortium Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 49 Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. Comparative figures Comparatives in the financial statements have been realigned to the current period presentation. There has been no net effect to the loss or the net assets of the group. Rounding of amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding‑off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the group, are set out below. Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the group has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the group may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the group’s financial statements. Note 4. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, tenants, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the group operates. The pandemic has materially impacted the financial performance of the group during the financial year with government‑imposed trading restrictions and isolation measures impacting tenants across the group. These impacts are outlined below and the fair value of assets are noted in Note 26. Annual Report 2020 50 HomeCo. Rent relief provided to tenants that relate to periods after the execution of an agreement with the tenant constitutes a lease modification under AASB 16 ‘Leases’. $2.5 million (Freehold $2.3 million and Leasehold $0.2 million) has been capitalised and amortised over the remaining lease term. Rent relief relating to periods prior to the execution of an agreement have been treated as a write‑off of receivables under AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ which amounted to $2.8 million (Freehold $2.4 million and Leasehold $0.4 million). An additional $1.4 million in rent was deferred and included in receivables and is expected to be collected after the reporting date. Allowance for expected credit losses The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and type of tenants and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic and forward‑looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in Note 11, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower. Fair value measurement hierarchy The group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective. The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs. The fair value assessment of investment property as at 30 June 2020 has been conducted using the information available at the time of the preparation of the financial statements and best estimates of future performance, however the future impacts of the COVID‑19 pandemic are unknown and may impact property valuations. Refer to Note 26 for details of valuation techniques used. Recovery of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and taxable losses. The group assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets at each reporting date. In making this assessment, the group considers in particular the future business plans, reasons for past losses, whether the unused tax losses resulted from identifiable causes which are unlikely to recur and if any tax planning opportunities exist in the period in which the taxable losses can be utilised. The recognised deferred tax asset of $141.1 million (2019: $135.6 million) comprises $62.1 million (2019: $45.5 million) of carry forward tax losses and $79.0 million (2019: $90.1 million) of deductible temporary differences, net of applicable offsetting deferred tax liabilities. Uncertainty continues to exist in relation to the utilisation of this asset, which is subject to there being continued future taxable profits over the period of time in which the losses can be utilised. The group has made a judgement that they will be able to generate sufficient taxable profits over the foreseeable future, based upon its future business plans. The uncertainty around the recognition of the deferred tax asset will be resolved in future years if taxable profits are generated. Home Consortium Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 51 Lease term The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right‑of‑use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the group’s operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances. Incremental borrowing rate Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right‑of‑use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. Lease make good provision A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss. Note 5. Operating segments Identification of reportable operating segments The group is organised into two operating segments: Freehold properties and Leasehold properties. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’), which is the Board of Directors, in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The CODM monitor the performance of the business on the basis of Funds from Operations (‘FFO’) for each segment. FFO represents the group’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations, and is determined by adjusting the statutory net profit after tax for items which are non‑cash, unrealised or capital in nature. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis. Annual Report 2020 52 HomeCo. Major customers During the year ended 30 June 2020 approximately 12% of the group’s external revenue was derived from sales to one major customer.

The benefits of unused tax losses will only be brought to account (with the recognition of a deferred tax asset) when there is convincing evidence that it is probable that they will be realised. This benefit of tax losses will only be obtained if: • the group derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised; • the group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation, in particular the group continues to meet the Business Continuity Test or Similar Business Test; and • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

Home Consortium Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 63 Ordinary shares Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of Home Consortium in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and Home Consortium does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote. Share buy‑back There is no current on‑market share buy‑back. Capital risk management The group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for stapled security holders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to stapled security holders, return capital to stapled security holders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year. The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the prior year. Note 23.

Home Consortium Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 65 Note 25. Financial instruments Financial risk management objectives The group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group. The group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. The group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and ageing analysis for credit risk. Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives (‘finance’) under policies approved by the Board of Directors (‘the Board’). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the group’s operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis. Market risk Foreign currency risk The group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk. Price risk The group is not exposed to any significant price risk. Interest rate risk The group’s main interest rate risk arises from long‑term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the group to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the group to fair value risk. The policy is to maintain approximately 50% of borrowings at fixed rates using interest rate swaps to achieve this when necessary. As at the reporting date, the group had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts outstanding: Consolidated Bank loans Mezzanine facility Interest rate swaps (notional principal amount) Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk 30 June 2020 30 June 2019 Weighted average interest rate % 2.04% – 0.83% Weighted average interest rate % 5.33% 9.25% – Balance $m 366.0 – (175.0) 191.0 Balance $m 337.3 78.4 – 415.7 An analysis by remaining contractual maturities in shown in ‘liquidity and interest rate risk management’ below. An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 50 (2019: 50) basis points would have an adverse/favourable effect on profit before tax of $1.0 million (2019: $2.1 million) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts forecasts. Derivatives interest rate swap The group has entered into interest rate swap contracts with notional/principal value as at 30 June 2020 of $175.0 million (2019: $nil). The interest rate swap contract hedges the group’s risk against an increase in variable interest rate. However, hedge accounting is not applied. The contracts mature in the 2023 financial year. Weighted average fixed rate is 1.0% (2019: Not applicable). Annual Report 2020 66 HomeCo. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the group. The group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The group obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The group does not hold any collateral. The group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all tenants of the group based on recent experience, historical collection rates and forward‑looking information that is available. The group has credit risk exposure with one major tenant, which as at 30 June 2020 owed the group $1.4 million (34.0% of trade receivables) (2019: Not applicable). This balance was within its terms of trade and no impairment was made as at 30 June 2020. There are no guarantees against this receivable but management closely monitors the receivable balance on a monthly basis and is in regular contact with this tenant to mitigate risk. Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than one year. Liquidity risk Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. The group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Refer to Note 17 for details of unused borrowing facilities at the reporting date. Remaining contractual maturities The following tables detail the group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Note 26. Fair value measurement Fair value hierarchy The following tables detail the group’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at fair value on a non‑recurring basis. There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short‑term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities. Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 The basis of valuation of investment properties is fair value. Independent valuations are obtained on a rotational basis to ensure each property is valued at least once every 24 months by an independent external valuer. Valuations are based on current prices in an active market for similar properties of the same location and condition, subject to similar leases and takes into consideration occupancy rates and returns on investment. The discounted cash flow method and the capitalisation method is also considered for fair value. For properties not independently valued during a reporting period, a directors’ valuation is carried out to determine the appropriate carrying value of the property as at the date of the report. Where directors’ valuations are performed, the valuation methods include using the discounted cash flow method and the capitalisation method. Derivative financial instruments have been valued using observable market rates. This valuation technique maximises the use of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates. Level 3 assets and liabilities The level 3 assets and liabilities unobservable inputs and sensitivity are as follows: Description Unobservable inputs Range (weighted average) 2020 Range (weighted average) 2019 Investment property – freehold (i) Capitalisation rate 5.50% to 8.00% (6.62%) 6.00% to 8.25% (6.94%) (ii) Discount rate 6.25% to 9.00% (7.33%) 6.50% to 9.00% (7.31%) (iii) Terminal yield 5.75% to 8.25% (6.89%) 6.25% to 8.50% (7.20%) (iv) Rental growth 1.15% to 3% (2.29%) 2.31% to 3.31% (2.64%) Investment property – leasehold (i) Discount rate 7.75% to 8.50% (8.13%) 7.25% to 8.50% (8.09%) (ii) Rental growth 2.50% to 3.07% (2.88%) 2.50% to 3.64% (2.84%) A higher capitalisation rate, discount rate or terminal yield will lead to a lower fair value. A higher growth rate will lead to a higher fair value. The capitalisation rate is the most significant input into the valuation of investment property and therefore most sensitive to changes in valuation. A 25 basis point change in capitalisation rate would increase/decrease fair value by $37.0 million. The ongoing COVID‑19 pandemic requires a higher degree of judgement when considering the significant inputs that are assessed to determine the fair value of investment property. This is due to the uncertain future impact of the pandemic on key market inputs as well as the future financial performance of the investment properties. External valuation firms have acknowledged a ‘material valuation uncertainty’, which does not invalidate the market valuation however serves to highlight that the fair value assessment has been conducted using the information available at the time of the report and best estimates of future performance, however the future impacts of the COVID‑19 pandemic are unknown and may impact property valuations.

Events after the reporting period Strategic acquisitions and equity raising On 1 July 2020, Home Consortium announced a number of strategic property acquisitions comprising: • Acquisition of three Woolworths anchored convenience‑based neighbourhood centres from Woolworths Group for $127.8 million; and • Acquisition of Aurrum Erina residential aged care property (‘Aurrum Erina’) for $32.6 million on a sale and lease back, subject to securityholder approval. The acquisitions were funded by $140.0 million fully underwritten institutional placement on 7 July 2020 at $2.88 per security and a non‑underwritten share purchase plan which raised $10.6 million on 28 July 2020. New equity raised will also support the funding of the Parafield acquisition announced during the financial year. As part of the Aurrum Erina acquisition Home Consortium is proposing to issue to the vendor $20 million of securities at $2.88 per security together with $12.6 million cash as consideration. The issue of securities and acquisition of Aurrum Erina will be conditional on receiving security holder approval which is scheduled for 1 September 2020. Home Consortium Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 77 Proposed security restructure On 11 August 2020, Home Consortium announced that it had entered into an agreement with Woolworths Group Limited (‘Woolworths’) and Home Investment Consortium Company Pty Limited as trustee of the Home Investment Consortium Trust (‘HICT’) to propose a restructure of the existing security that Woolworths holds for its guarantee of the leasehold properties. The initial security arrangements were entered into with Woolworths in 2017 as part of the acquisition of the former Masters property portfolio, including a second ranking security over Home Consortium’s assets. As a result of the proposed transaction Home Consortium’s company structure will be simplified with no leasehold properties or legacy guarantees remaining within the group. The entity holding the guaranteed leases and LMA would be transferred to HICT resulting in no change in economic exposure as HICT already provides an indemnity to Home Consortium. Home Consortium will seek security holder approval for this proposal at its 2020 annual general meeting to be held on 18 November 2020. COVID‑19 The impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic is ongoing following the recent Stage 4 restrictions for the Melbourne metropolitan area and Stage 3 restrictions for regional Victoria announced by the Victorian Government. Home Consortium’s Victorian freehold portfolio comprises eight operating centres including the recent acquisition of a Woolworths supermarket in Rosenthal VIC and one development property. Whilst seven of the eight operating centres in Victoria have either a supermarket, pharmacy or medical centre as an anchor tenant the outlook remains uncertain. Apart from the dividend declared as disclosed in Note 24, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Home Consortium Developments Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1. General information The financial statements cover Home Consortium Developments Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Home Consortium Developments Limited (the ‘Company’, ‘parent entity’ or ‘HCDL’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period (collectively referred to as the ‘group’). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Home Consortium Developments Limited’s functional and presentation currency. Home Consortium Developments Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is: 19 Bay Street Double Bay NSW 2028 The current reporting period is from 29 August 2019 (incorporation date of HCDL) to 30 June 2020. During the period the shares in HCDL were stapled to the shares in Home Consortium Limited (‘HCL’) to form stapled securities such that shares in HCL and HCDL must be purchased or sold together. The stapled securities, known as “Home Consortium” were admitted to the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) on 11 October 2019 with the ASX code HMC. HCL and HCDL remain separate legal entities in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. HCDL remained dormant throughout the reporting period. A description of the nature of Home Consortium’s operations and its principal activities are included in the directors’ report, which is not part of the financial statements. The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 25 August 2020. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. Note 2. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. There was no impact on the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for‑profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 9. Home Consortium Developments Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued 83 Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Home Consortium Developments Limited as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de‑consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non‑controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Where the group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non‑controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. Annual Report 2020 84 HomeCo. Current and non‑current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non‑current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non‑current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non‑current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non‑current. Other receivables Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Dividends Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial period and no longer at the discretion of the group. Note 3.

Independent auditor’s report To the Stapled Security Holders of Home Consortium Limited and the shareholders of Home Consortium Developments Limited. Report on the audit of the financial reports Our opinion In our opinion: The accompanying financial reports of Home Consortium, being the consolidated stapled entity, which comprises Home Consortium Limited (HCL) and the entities it controlled during the full-year (together, the Group), and Home Consortium Developments Limited (HCDL) and the entities it controlled during the period, are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (a)giving a true and fair view of the Group's and HCDL’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and oftheir financial performance for the year and period respectively, then ended;(b)complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.What we have audited The Group financial report comprises: ●the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020●the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended●the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended●the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year then ended●the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accountingpolicies●the directors’ declaration.The HCDL financial report comprises:●the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020●the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period from 29 August 2019 to 30 June 2020●The consolidated statement of cash flows for the period from 29 August 2019 to 30 June 2020●The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period from 29August 2019 to 30 June 2020●the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies●the directors’ declaration.Together, the Group and HCDL financial reports are referred to as “the financial reports”.Annual Report 2020 90 HomeCo. Independent auditor’s report continued Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial reports section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group and HCDL in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of 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 reports in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Our audit approach An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial reports are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial reports. We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial reports as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group and HCDL, their accounting processes and controls and the industry in which they operate. Materiality Audit scope Key audit matters For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group materiality of $3.65 million, which represents approximately 0.5% of the net assets of the Group. We applied this threshold, together with qualitative Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. Amongst other relevant topics, we communicated the following key audit matters, applicable to Group only, to the Audit and Risk Committee: -Valuation ofinvestment properties 91 considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole. We chose net assets because, in our view, it is a key benchmark against which the performance of the Group is measured. We utilised a 0.5% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable thresholds. (freehold and leasehold) -Recoverability ofdeferred tax assetsThese are further described in the Key audit matters section of our report. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit 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. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. Group Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of investment properties (freehold and leasehold) (Refer to notes 14 and 15) $1,098.1m Investment properties are measured at the fair value of each property. The fair value of investment property is inherently subjective and impacted by, among other factors, prevailing market conditions, the individual nature and condition of each property, its location and the expected future income for each property. Amongst others, the capitalisation rate, discount rate, market rents and capital expenditure assumptions used in the valuation process are key in establishing fair value. This was a key audit matter because the: Procedures performed in relation to the valuation of freehold and leasehold investment properties included: We read recent property market reports to develop our understanding of the prevailing market conditions in locations in which the Group invests. Met with management to discuss the specifics of the property portfolio including any new leases entered into during the year, lease expiries, vacancy rates and planned capital expenditure. We also enquired about the impact of COVID-19 on investment property valuations and how this has been considered in determining fair value at 30 June 2020. For a sample of leases, we compared the rental income used in the valuation to the relevant underlying lease agreements. For all properties, we agreed the fair values recorded in the accounting records to the external valuations or internal valuation models and assessed the competency, capability and objectivity of the relevant valuer. We have also assessed the adequacy of the related disclosures in notes 14 and 15 considering the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. In particular, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures made that explain the significant estimation uncertainty in relation to the valuation of investment properties. Specific procedures performed in relation to the audit of the valuation of freehold investment properties included: Annual Report 2020 92 HomeCo. Independent auditor’s report continued ●investment propertybalances are financiallysignificant in theconsolidated statement offinancial position●impact of changes in thefair value of investmentproperties can have asignificant effect on theGroup’s comprehensiveincome●investment propertyvaluations are inherentlysubjective due to the use ofunobservable inputs in thevaluation methodology.●valuations are sensitive tokey input assumptions,specifically capitalisationand discount rates and netmarket rents●COVID-19 impact isuncertain and has affectedthe certainty of the rentalincome cash-flows, and asa consequence, thevaluation of theinvestment properties.We evaluated the design effectiveness and implementation of certain controls over the process for determining the fair value, including the control that the Board reviews and approves the valuations adopted. For all properties, we checked compliance with the Group’s policy that properties had been externally valued at least once in the last two years and checked that the Group followed its policy on rotation of valuation firms. We selected a sample of leases from the tenancy schedules used in the valuations and tied the key terms to signed lease agreements. We performed a risk-based assessment over the freehold investment property portfolio to determine those properties at greater risk of being carried at an amount not equal to fair value. Our risk-based selection criteria included quantitative and qualitative measures and were informed by our knowledge of each property, site visits during the year and our understanding of current market conditions. For those properties which met our selection criteria, we performed procedures to assess the reasonableness of key assumptions used in the external valuations and internal valuation models. These procedures included, amongst others: ●We assessed the reasonableness of the capitalisation rate,discount rate, outgoings and market rents used in the valuationsagainst industry benchmarks and market data, includingcomparable transactions where possible.●We assessed the reasonableness of other assumptions in thevaluations such as growth rates, vacancies, rent free periods andincentives through discussions with management and valuers,and obtaining other audit evidence such as new lease agreementsor modified leases due to COVID-19.Specific procedures in relation to the audit of the valuation of leasehold properties, included: We performed a risk-based assessment over the leasehold investment property portfolio to determine those properties at greater risk of being carried at an amount not equal to fair value. Our risk-based selection criteria include quantitative and qualitative measures and are informed by our knowledge of each property, and our understanding of current market conditions. For those properties which met our selection criteria, we assessed the reasonableness of key assumptions included in the internal valuation models. These procedures included, amongst others: ●We assessed the reasonableness of the discount rate used in thediscounted cash flows in the internal valuations against industrybenchmarks and market data, including comparable transactionswhere possible.●On a sample basis, we compared the key input data relating torental income and outgoings used in the discounted cash flows inthe internal valuations to signed leases and accounting records.●We assessed the reasonableness of the rental income, outgoingsand capital expenditure used in the forecast cash flows throughdiscussions with management and obtaining other audit evidence 93 such as existing and new leases, prior transactions and industry benchmarks Additional procedures performed as a result of COVID-19 impact, included: We obtained an understanding of specific assumptions included in information provided to the valuers, such as the rent relief packages given to individual tenants and considered how these rent relief packages have been treated in the valuation reports and the financial statements. We obtained and reconciled the rent relief packages provided to the tenants to the general ledger. For a sample of tenants, we obtained the rent relief contract accepted by the tenant and agreed it to the accounting records. We considered how any recent market transactions impacted the fair values adopted in the valuations. We met with valuers, on a sample basis with a specific focus on understanding the basis for any uncertainty caveats included in their valuation reports, as well as developing an understanding of their valuation approach, sources of information and key judgments made. Recoverability of deferred tax assets - tax losses (Refer to note 9) $141.1m The Group continues to recognise a deferred tax asset comprising carry forward tax losses and deductible temporary differences. It also discloses a total of $2,208m in tax losses which have not been recognised due to the uncertainty of its utilisation. The recoverability of the deferred tax asset depends upon the growth of the business, its future profitability, the period over which tax losses will be available for recovery, and the execution of any future tax planning opportunities. We considered this a key audit matter due to the high level of judgement required by the Group to assess the recoverability of the deferred tax asset and its financial significance. The procedures performed to assess the Group’s ability to utilise the tax losses recognised as deferred tax assets included, amongst others: We obtained an understanding of the nature of the tax losses and management’s assessment as to their availability and recoverability. We read the external advice received from the Group’s advisor on the availability of the tax losses, and in particular, on the satisfaction of the continuity ownership test (“CoT”) and business continuity tests (“BCT”). Together with PwC tax specialists, we assessed management’s assessment on the availability and treatment of tax losses. We considered whether the accounting treatment adopted was in line with the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. We recalculated deferred tax asset balances which comprise a combination of timing differences between tax and accounting bases, and tax losses. We obtained the calculations of forecast taxable income for the next twelve years and reconciled next year’s amounts to the latest forecast. We compared the Board approved budgets to historical performance to assess the consistency and accuracy of the Group’s approach to budgeting. We assessed the reasonableness of the relevant selected assumptions such as rental income, expenses, corporate tax rate and weighted average lease expiry (WALE) in the cash flow budget and forecasts. We evaluated whether the cash flows had been appropriately adjusted for the differences between accounting profits and taxable income. As a result of the impacts of COVID-19, we considered the reasonableness of the assumptions used in preparing the forecast of the Group’s taxable profits considering the available evidence. We have also assessed the adequacy of the related disclosures in note 9 considering the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. Annual Report 2020 94 HomeCo.

In preparing the financial reports, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and HCDL to continue as going concerns, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group and/or HCDL or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
