3. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
This statement outlines the main corporate governance 
practices currently in place for Ingenia Communities Group 
and also addresses the 2nd Edition of the ASX Corporate 
Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles 
and Recommendations (ASX Recommendations). The 
Board believes the Group accords with the majority 
of the principles and recommendations of the ASX 
Corporate Governance Council with the exception of one 
recommendation, which is outlined in the report. 

The corporate governance policies and practices 
described below are those that have been in place for 
the 2013-14 financial year, or as at the date of this report 
where indicated. The Board continues to review the 
governance framework and practices of the Group to 
ensure they meet the interests of securityholders. As at 
the date of this report, a process to review the Group’s 
governance practices against the 3rd Edition of the ASX 
Recommendations is underway.

All references to the Group’s website are to:

a. Ingenia Communities Group and its Constitutions
Ingenia Communities Group is a triple stapled structure 
comprising the parent company, Ingenia Communities 
Holdings Limited, Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia 
Communities Management Trust, (together known as the 
Group). ICF and ICMT each have their own Constitution 
(the Constitutions) both of which have been lodged with 
the Australian Securities and Investments Commission 
(“ASIC”). The rights and obligations of unitholders are

Responsible Entity has registered compliance plans for 
ICF and ICMT with ASIC. The compliance plans describe

Corporations Act and the Constitutions of ICF and ICMT.

monitoring the Group’s compliance with the compliance 
plans. Further details are provided under the section on 
risk management.

3.2 Role of the Board
The Board of Ingenia Communities Group is responsible for 
overseeing the effective management and operation of the 
Group. The Board operates under a formal charter, which

Communities RE Limited has additional responsibilities 
for the operation of ICF and ICMT. The Responsible Entity 
must exercise its powers and perform the obligations 
conferred on it under the Constitutions and the 
Corporations Act 2001 and ensure that the activities of 
the Group are conducted in a proper and efficient manner 
in the best interests of unitholders. The Responsible 
Entity must also ensure compliance with the conditions 
of the AFSL and approve and monitor compliance with 
compliance plans.

3.4 Board size and Composition
The Constitution of the Group provides that there will 
be a minimum of three directors and not more than 
ten directors.

Directors are appointed with the aim of ensuring the 
Board has:

 –
 –

 –

an appropriate range of skills, experience and expertise;

a proper understanding of, and competence to deal with, 
current and emerging issues in the industry in which it 
engages;

the ability to effectively review and challenge the 
performance of management and exercise independent 
judgement; and

 –

a majority of independent directors.

If additional directors are required specific skill sets 
deemed appropriate for the Board to collectively possess 
are identified and if required, an executive search may be 
engaged to assist in this recruitment process.

a. Terms of Appointment
Non-executive directors are appointed pursuant to formal 
letters of appointment which, among other things, set 
out the key terms and conditions of the appointment, 
the Board’s expectations in relation to the performance 
of the director, procedures for dealing with a director’s 
potential conflict of interest and the disclosure obligations 
of the director, together with the details of the director’s 
remuneration. 

Annual Report 2014

7

b. Directors’ Interests
Directors are required to keep the Board advised of any 
interest that may be in conflict with those of the Group, and 
restrictions are applied to directors’ rights to participate in 
discussion and to vote, as circumstances dictate when a 
conflict has been identified. In particular, where a potential 
conflict of interest may exist, directors concerned may be 
required to leave the Board meeting while the matter is 
considered in their absence.

The Group has also entered into a deed of disclosure with 
each director, which is designed to facilitate the Group’s 
compliance with its obligations under the ASX Listing 
Rules relating to disclosure of changes in directors’ security 
holdings. Directors and their nominated related party 
security holdings, are also monitored to identify changes 
that may require urgent disclosure.

c. Independent Advice
The Board has a policy of enabling directors to seek 
independent professional advice for Group related matters 
at the Group’s expense, subject to the prior notification 
of the Chairman and where the estimated costs are 
considered to be reasonable.

d. Directors’ Independence
The Board has considered specific principles in relation 
to directors’ independence. The Board considers an 
independent director to be a non-executive director who is 
not a member of the Group’s management and who is free 
of any business or other relationship that could materially 
interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to interfere 
with, the independent exercise of their judgement. The 
Board will consider the materiality of any given relationship 
on a case-by-case basis, having regard to both quantitative 
and qualitative principles.

At the date of this report, the Board comprises five non-
executive directors, and one executive director. The Boards 
of ICH and ICRE have the same directors.

The current members of the Board are:

 – Mr Jim Hazel (Chairman)
 – Ms Amanda Heyworth (Non-executive Director)
 – Mr Philip Clark (Non-executive Director)
 – Mr Robert Morrison (Non-executive Director)
 – Ms Norah Barlow (Non-executive Director)
 – Mr Simon Owen (Managing Director and CEO) 

Mr Jim Hazel, Ms Amanda Heyworth, Mr Philip Clark, 
Mr Robert Morrison and Ms Norah Barlow are considered 
by the Board to be independent. The Group recognises 
that having a majority of independent non-executive 
directors provides assurance that the Board is structured 
properly to fulfil its role in holding management 
accountable for the Group’s performance. 

The Board considers that the existing Board structure is 
appropriate for the Group’s current operations and stage 
of development.

Directors’ details are listed in the Directors Report, 
including details of their other listed entity directorships 
and experience.

e. Chairman
The role of Chairman and CEO is not occupied by the same 
individual. The Board has agreed that it should continue to 
have a majority of independent non-executive directors, 
that the positions of Chairman and CEO must be separate, 
and that the Chairman should be an independent non-
executive director.

Mr Jim Hazel was appointed Chairman of the Group 
on 1 March 2012 and is considered an independent 
director in accordance with recommendation 2.1 of the 
ASX recommendations.

f. Diversity
In appointing members to the Board, consideration is 
given to the skills, business experience and educational 
backgrounds of candidates. The advantage of having a mix 
of relevant business, executive and professional experience 
on the Board; the importance of cultural and ethical values; 
and the benefits of diversity, including gender diversity 
is also recognised. These factors will also be considered 
in any future appointments to the Board including any 
identified skills ‘gaps’.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee oversees 
the director nomination process. Ultimately, the full 
Board determines who is invited to fill a casual vacancy 
after extensive one-on-one and collective interviews 
with candidates and thorough due diligence and 
reference checking.

The Group Board has two female non-executive 
directors out of six directors. Ms Amanda Heyworth was 
appointed to the Board for her specific skills and financial, 
investment and marketing experience. Ms Norah Barlow 
was appointed to the Board on 31 March 2014 for her 
extensive industry experience.

A formal diversity policy has been adopted by the Board 
that outlines the Group’s commitment to diversity in the 
workplace and the provision of a work environment that is 
free from discrimination and promotes equal opportunity 
for all. Ingenia promotes an inclusive workplace where 
employee differences in areas like gender, age, culture, 
disability and lifestyle choice are valued. The unique skills, 
perspectives and experience that the Group’s employees 
bring to the table encourage creativity and innovation in 
thought that better represents Ingenia’s diverse customer 
base, ultimately driving improved business performance.

The policy does not include measurable objectives for 
achieving gender diversity as the Group has always had a 
policy of actively encouraging gender diversity at all levels 
in the organisation, and a culture that supports workplace 
diversity. This is evidenced by: 

 – The proportion of female directors: 33%
 – The proportion of female employees on the executive 

committee: 60%

 – The proportion of female employees in the whole 

organisation: 70%

 – The proportion of female employees in senior 

positions: 48%

In accordance with the requirements of the Workplace 
Gender Equality Act 2012, the Group has lodged its 2014 
annual public report with the Workplace Gender Equality 
Agency which is available on the Group’s website.

g. Board Meetings
The Board typically schedules meetings on a monthly 
basis, with additional meetings convened as required. 
Agendas for each meeting are prepared by the Company 
Secretary together with the CEO and input from the 
Chairman, and are distributed prior to the meeting 
together with supporting papers.

Standing items include the CEO’s report and the financial 
report, as well as reports addressing matters of strategy, 
governance and compliance. Senior executives are directly 
involved in Board discussions, and directors have a number 
of further opportunities to contact a wider group of 
employees, including visits to business operations.

Board papers include minutes of Board committees and 
subsidiaries as well as papers on material issues requiring 
consideration. Significant matters are presented to the 
Board by senior executives, and the Board may seek 
further information on any issue, from any executive.

h. Board and Director Performance
The Board is committed to enhancing its effectiveness 
through performance management and review. The Board 
review process is designed to help enhance performance 
by providing a mechanism to raise and resolve issues and 
to provide recommendations to enhance its effectiveness.

The Board has recently conducted its second performance 
review in accordance with the principles in this statement.

3.5 Board Committees
The ultimate responsibility for the oversight of the 
operations of the Group rests with the Board. However, 
the Board may discharge any of its responsibilities 
through committees of the Board in accordance with 
the Constitutions and the Corporations Act 2001.

The Board has established the following committees, 
which assist it with the execution of its responsibilities. 
The composition and effectiveness of the committees 
are reviewed on an annual basis:

 – Audit and Risk Committee

Each of these committees operate in accordance with 
specific charters approved by the Board which can be 
found on the Group’s website.

a. Audit and Risk Committee

independent director, who is not chair of the Board. The 
chair satisfies the test of independence.

The current members of the ARC are:

 – Ms Amanda Heyworth (Chair);
 – Mr Robert Morrison; and 
 – Ms Norah Barlow. 

Mr Philip Clark AM was a member of the ARC until 
April 2014.

At least one member of the ARC has relevant accounting 
qualifications and experience and all members have a 
good understanding of financial reporting. Details of these 
directors’ qualifications and attendance at ARC meetings 
are set out in the Directors’ report.

The external auditor attends the annual general meeting 
and is available to answer securityholder questions about 
the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content 
of the audit report, accounting policies adopted by the 
Group, and the independence of the auditor in relation to 
the conduct of the audit.

b. Remuneration and Nomination Committee
The Board has an established Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee (“RNC”). The RNC has a written 
charter defining its role and responsibilities.

The RNC has been established by the Board to assist in the 
review of the overall strategies of the remuneration of the 
Group’s non-executive directors and executives and for the 
review of the composition of the Board.

The purpose of the RNC is to support and advise the Board 
in the following areas:

 – Review the on-going appropriateness and relevance of 
the executive remuneration policy to enable the Group 
to attract and retain executives and directors who will 
create value for securityholders.

 – Ensure that the executive remuneration policy 

demonstrates a clear relationship between key executive 
performance and remuneration.

 – Recommend to the Board the remuneration of executive 

and non-executive directors.

 – Fairly and responsibly reward executives having regard 

to the performance of the Group, the performance of the 
executive and the prevailing remuneration expectations 
in the market.

 – Review the Group’s recruitment, retention and 
termination policies and procedures for senior 
management.

 – Review and recommend to the Board the remuneration 
of direct reports to the CEO, and as appropriate other 
senior executives.

 – Review and recommend to the Board any equity based 

plans and other incentive schemes.

 – Develop a process for evaluation of the performance of 

the Board, its committees and directors. 

 – Oversee the annual performance evaluations of senior 

executives of the Group.

 – Make recommendations to the Board on the 
appointment and re-election of directors.

 – Review and report to the Board on the mix of skills and 
experience of the Board with the aim of ensuring it 
remains an effective decision-making body.

The RNC consists of three non-executive directors all 
of whom are independent directors and is chaired by 
an independent director, who is not chair of the Board. 
The chair satisfies the test of independence.

The current members of the RNC are:

 – Mr Philip Clark AM (Chair);
 – Ms Amanda Heyworth; and 
 – Mr Jim Hazel. 

Each member of the senior executive team, including the 
executive director, signed formal employment contracts 
at the time of their appointment, covering a range of 
matters including their duties, rights, responsibilities and 
any entitlements on termination. Each contract refers to a 
specific formal job description. Each contract sets out the 
remuneration of the executive, including their entitlements 
to any rights under incentive plans.

The Group aims to have a clear process for evaluating 
the performance of senior executives. The Board has 
delegated to the RNC the responsibility to oversee the 
annual performance evaluation of the Group’s senior 
executives, but retains the performance evaluation of 
the CEO. 

The evaluation for all executives is based on specific 
criteria, including the business performance of the Group, 
whether strategic objectives are being achieved, and the 
development of management and personnel.

Non-executive directors receive director’s fees outlined 
in their letters of appointment and reviewed on an annual 
basis pursuant to advice from an external remuneration 
consultant. No non-executive director has any entitlement 
to participate in any executive incentive plan.

Further information on directors’ and executives’ 
remuneration, including principles used to determine 
remuneration, is set out in the Directors’ Report under 
the heading ‘’Remuneration Report’’. 

The compliance officer is primarily responsible for 
reviewing compliance on an ongoing basis; reporting 
on compliance matters, including breaches, to the ARC; 
and acting on recommendations of the ARC. Matters are 
escalated to the ICRE Board or ASIC when necessary.

The compliance officer has direct access to the Chair of 
the ARC to ensure the compliance officer is well placed 
to adequately deal with compliance issues. Management, 
via the compliance officer, is required to assess risk 
management and associated internal compliance and 
control procedures, and is required to report back 
quarterly to the ARC as to whether those risks are being 
managed effectively. A quarterly risk and compliance 
report is prepared by the compliance officer for review and 
consideration by the Board.

a. Compliance Plans
ICF and ICMT both have formal compliance plans that 
have been adopted by the Board and lodged with ASIC. 
The purpose of each compliance plan is to set out key 
processes, systems and measures the Responsible Entity 
will apply to ensure compliance with:

 –
 –
 –

 –

the Corporations Act 2001;

the Constitutions of ICF and ICMT;

industry practice standards relevant to the particular 
scheme; and

internal policies and procedures.

Each compliance plan is a ‘how to’ document and has been 
prepared following a structured and systematic process to 
consider the Responsible Entity’s key obligations under the 
Act, and the Constitutions; the risk of non-compliance; and 
measures required to meet the risks of non-compliance.

Each compliance plan describes the key obligations 
that must be met by the Responsible Entity, and how 
compliance with these measures will be monitored. 
In addition, the compliance plans detail the risk of not 
complying with these obligations, and how breaches 
are to be reported and addressed.

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

The Board aims to ensure that its securityholders are 
kept well-informed of all major developments and 
business events that are likely to materially affect the 
Group’s operations and financial standing, and the market 
price of its securities. Information is communicated to 
securityholders through:

 –

 –

on continuous disclosure of any information concerning 
the Group that a reasonable person would expect to have 
a material effect on the price of the Group’s securities.

4. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

a. Ingenia Communities Overview
The Group owns, manages and develops a diversified 
portfolio of seniors living communities across Australia. 
Its real estate assets are valued at $355 million and include 
lifestyle parks, rental villages, deferred management 
fee villages, and three non-core New Zealand Student 
accommodation buildings.

The Group is a triple stapled structure, being a combination 
of a unit in Ingenia Communities Management Trust, a 
unit in Ingenia Communities Fund and a share in Ingenia 
Communities Holdings Limited, which are traded together 
on the ASX. The Group is in the ASX 300 with a market 
capitalisation of approximately $315 million.

The Group’s vision is to be a leading Australian provider of 
affordable seniors living accommodation whilst delivering 
value to all stakeholders, including delivering strong 
earnings growth to securityholders and providing an 
affordable community environment for residents.

Annual Report 2014

b. Strategy
The Group’s strategy is to grow its Australian seniors 
living portfolio with a strong focus on the lifestyle parks 
sector. Using a disciplined investment framework, the 
Group is continuing to increase its exposure to lifestyle 
parks through targeted acquisitions and building out its 
development pipeline. The Group remains focused on 
divestment of its non-core New Zealand Students portfolio 
and reducing its investment in DMF assets. It is the Group’s 
intention to grow its investment in lifestyle parks through 
capital recycling, efficient inventory management and 
monetisation of stock.

A key element to achieving growth is efficient operational 
and capital management. The Group is committed to 
maintaining loan to value ratio (“LVR”) within a target 
range of 30-35% and considering diversified sources 
of funding. In August 2014, indicative terms were 
agreed for a new multilateral Australian debt facility 
of $175 million, which replaces the existing facility and 
facilitates continued growth.

The key immediate business priorities of the Group are:

 –

increase rate of new home delivery within the Active 
Lifestyle Estates development pipeline;

 – grow occupancy of the Garden Villages portfolio 

towards the mid-term target of 92%;

 –

 –

sell recently completed homes and explore opportunities 
to reduce exposure to the Settlers portfolio; and

invest available capital into further accretive 
lifestyle parks.

c. FY14 Financial Results
FY14 has been a year of strong acquisitive growth resulting 
in an underlying profit of $11.6m and a statutory profit of 
$11.5m, which respectively represent an increase of $5.7m 
and $21.8m on prior year. The results are underpinned 
by a significantly increased contribution from the Active 
Lifestyle Estates and Garden Villages portfolios following 
the acquisition of a further thirteen lifestyle parks and 
five rental villages during the year. Furthermore, Ingenia 
Communities Management Trust and its subsidiaries 
formed a tax consolidation group, which is the primary 
driver for the $7.3m income tax benefit recorded. 

During the year, the Group funded the acquisition of 
numerous properties using a mix of debt and equity raised 
from a June 2013 institutional placement of $21.2m and a 
September 2013 rights issue of $61.7m. The total purchase 
value of assets acquired during the year was $116.9m, 
being thirteen lifestyle parks for $106.3m and five rental 
villages for $10.6m.

Operating cash flow for the Group was strong at $14.2m, 
up $3.0m from prior year. The improvement in operating 
cash flow reflects increasing contribution from the 
recurring rental income streams of both the Active Lifestyle 
Estates and Garden Villages portfolios offset by cessation 
of US distributions following divestment in the prior year. 

The Group has continued to adopt a conservative capital 
management approach with LVR at 33.9%, which is 
comfortably within the 30-35% target range and the all 
in cost of Australian debt has reduced by 126 basis points 
to 5.1%.

The Group has today announced a full year distribution 
of 1.15 cents which is a 15% increase on prior year, 
which reflects the Board’s commitment to increasing 
securityholder returns. The Board announced in May 
2014 the reinstatement of the dividend reinvestment plan 
which will help fund lifestyle park acquisitions and their 
development.

d. Key Metrics
 – Full year distribution of 1.15 cent per security, with final 

distribution up 30%.

 – Underlying profit was $11.6m, up 97% from FY13.
 – Underlying profit per security was 1.8 cents, up 50% 

from FY13.

 – Net asset value grew by 1.1 cents per security to 

35.5 cents.

 – Total Securityholder Return (TSR) of 55.8% for the 

twelve months.(1)

 – Statutory profit was $11.5m, up $21.8m from FY13.
 – Statutory profit per security was 1.8 cents, up 3.8 cents 

from FY13.

(1)   TSR is the percentage gain from investment in the Group’s 

securities over the twelve months to 30 June 2014 assuming 
distributions are reinvested into the Group’s securities.

Underlying Profit is a non-IFRS measure designed to present, in the opinion of the Directors, the results from the on-going 
operating activities in a way that appropriately reflects underlying performance. Underlying profit excludes items such as 
unrealised fair value gains/(losses) and adjustments arising from the effect of revaluing assets/liabilities (such as derivatives 
and investment properties). These items are required to be included in Statutory Profit in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards.

f. Segment Performance and Priorities

Active Lifestyle Estates
Active Lifestyle Estates launched in March 2013 and the Group now owns fifteen lifestyle parks and is the largest owner 
and operator in New South Wales. This business is the key focus of growth for the Group as it provides an affordable yield 
focused housing alternative for seniors and short-term residents with a capital light, low risk development cycle. The carrying 
value of these assets at 30 June 2014 is $119.3m.

Active Lifestyle Estates delivered a contribution of $3.9m in FY14, of which $1.3m was attributable to development of new 
manufactured homes. The lead time from property acquisition to achieving set up for delivery of the first new homes has 
taken longer than anticipated. Supply agreements have been negotiated with two key manufactured home builders to 
construct homes and further council approvals have been achieved in recent months. As delivery and settlement of homes 
continue to build each half, the business is forecast to produce a stronger result in FY15.

ii.  Strategic priorities
The key strategic priorities for this business over the coming year are securing any approvals required to deliver FY16 
settlements, repositioning parks to grow both short-term and permanent rental returns and leveraging scale efficiencies 
across a larger portfolio. The Group expects to deploy funds into the sector with expansion into the Southeast Queensland 
market likely in the near future.

Garden Villages
Garden Villages is comprised of 34 rental villages located across the eastern seaboard and Western Australia. These villages 
accommodate more than 1800 residents, and generate $21.0 million in gross rental income per annum. The carrying value of 
these assets at 30 June 2014 is $114.3m.

Garden Villages delivers a consistent stream of recurring cash income for the Group. The results are up $2.2m on prior 
year due to growing occupancy levels which are up 5% on a like for like basis. In January 2014, the Group acquired five low 
occupancy rental villages with the intention of repositioning them to grow occupancy and be accretive to the results. Since 
acquisition, the occupancy level for these five villages has increased by 7% with repositioning efforts continuing to further 
enhance the performance of these assets.

The Ingenia Care Assist program launched in October 2013 has also been a strong contributor to the growing occupancy 
levels across this portfolio. This program enables residents to live independently for longer in the villages. Since this program 
was launched, it has achieved 58 move-out preventions and 45 new move-ins.

ii.  Strategic priorities
The key strategic priorities of this business over the coming year continue to be growing village occupancy, in particular 
within the five recently acquired villages, improving cash operating margins, ensuring residents are actively engaged and 
maintaining affordability whilst leveraging scale efficiencies across the portfolio. Beyond continuing reinvestment in existing 
villages it is unlikely that any capital will be deployed in the Garden Villages portfolio.

Settlers Lifestyle
Settlers Lifestyle is comprised of nine deferred management fee villages, including those in the process of being converted 
from the rental to deferred management fee model. These villages are located in Queensland, New South Wales and 
Western Australia and accommodate more than 800 residents generating income from accrued deferred management 
fees, rental income where villages are not yet fully converted and development income from unit conversions and village 
expansion. The carrying value of these assets at 30 June 2014, net of resident loans and lease liabilities is $76.2m. The Group 
is exploring opportunities of reducing its exposure to this portfolio with the first divestment settling on 31 July 2014, when 
the Settlers Lifestyle Noyea Park village settled for an adjusted sales price of $5.4m.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

The Settlers Lifestyle business delivered a lower result than the prior year due to reduced settlement volumes with some 
development projects nearing completion and new product being under construction at Cessnock and Ridge Estate 
Villages. There has also been a weakening in the Hunter Valley residential market, where the Cessnock and Ridge Estate 
villages are located, which means incoming residents are requiring longer to sell their existing home in order to settle their 
new unit within our village. The Gladstone and Rockhampton Villages are both nearly sold out. 

ii.  Strategic priorities
The key strategic priorities of this business over the coming year are completing the construction and sell down of the final 
stage at Ridge Estate and the sell down of remaining conversion units at Cessnock Gardens, Forest Lake, Rockhampton and 
Gladstone. There will also be a continued focus on exploring opportunities to reduce the investment in these assets.

Discontinued Operations
A sales campaign was undertaken for the sale of the New Zealand Students portfolio and terms have been agreed with a 
global real estate investment firm. The carrying value of these assets at 30 June 2014 is $45.9m.

g. Tax Consolidation
During the year ICMT and its Australian domiciled subsidiaries formed a tax consolidation group. The impact of entering 
into this tax consolidated group was that tax cost bases for certain assets were reset resulting in income tax benefits being 
recorded. Additionally, unrecognised tax losses incurred by entities within this tax consolidated group are now available for 
utilisation resulting in an additional income tax benefit being recorded.

h. Capital Management
The Group adopts a prudent and considered approach to capital management. During the period, the Group strengthened 
its capital position by undertaking a capital raising and renegotiating its core debt facility. The Group has maintained a 
strong focus on prudent balance sheet management with an LVR at 33.9%, well within its target range of 30-35%. 

On 23 August 2013, the Group refinanced its Bank of New Zealand debt facility, which funds the New Zealand Students 
portfolio with a NZ$32.7m core debt facility expiring 31 July 2018.

On 17 October 2013, the Group completed a non-renounceable rights issue to raise $61.7m (excluding transaction costs) 
to fund the expansion of lifestyle parks. A total of 169.1m securities were issued at 36.5 cents each.

The Group has increased its full year distributions to 1.15 cents, in line with its commitment to grow distributions over the 
medium term. The final distribution represents a 30% increase over the previous period.

Inventories increased by $1.9m reflecting the Group’s growing investment in the lifestyle sector. A key element of the Group’s 
strategy is development of new manufactured homes, which are classified as inventory until they are sold to new residents. 
This element of the Group’s balance sheet will continue to grow as the number of active development projects increases.

Investment properties increased by $127.9m largely from the acquisition of thirteen lifestyle parks and five rental villages 
during the year.

Annual Report 2014

Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations grew by $11.1m and $8.9m respectively which reflects completion of capital 
refurbishment works on the New Zealand Students portfolio in line with the divestment strategy.

Borrowings increased by $27.6m due to the lifestyle park acquisitions being funded with a mix of debt and equity.

Movements in other assets and liabilities mainly reflects the collection of US$6.8m of escrows from the divestment of 
US operations in prior periods together with movements in deferred tax balances following the tax consolidation of the 
ICMT group.

Operating cash flow for the Group was strong at $14.2m, up $3.0m from prior year. The improvement in operating cash flow 
reflects increasing contribution from the recurring rental income streams of both the Active Lifestyle Estates and Garden 
Villages portfolios offset by a decrease in US distributions the Group no longer receives subsequent to divestment. 

Investing cash flows reflect the acquisition of thirteen lifestyle parks and five rental villages for $113.3m, along with capital 
refurbishment works of $18.7m, including $9.1m on the New Zealand Students portfolio. US sale proceeds account for $7.0m 
of the Investing cash flows, being $1.2m proceeds from sale of investment properties and $5.8m proceeds from sale of 
equity accounted investments. Financing cash flows include net proceeds of $58.9m from the September rights issue along 
with net proceeds from borrowings of $36.3m to partly fund the acquisition of lifestyle parks.

k. Distributions
The following distributions were made during or in respect of the period:

 – On 25 February 2014 the directors declared an interim distribution of 0.5 cps (2012: 0.5 cps) amounting to $3,381,201, which 

was paid on 21 March 2014.

 – On 26 August 2014, the directors resolved to declare a final distribution of 0.65 cps (2013: 0.5 cps) amounting to 

$4,407,379, to be paid on 17 September 2014.

The distributions are 100% tax deferred and the dividend reinvestment plan will apply to the final distribution.

The Group is committed to continuing to grow distributions in the near term. 

l. Outlook
The Group is well positioned to continue growing its lifestyle parks business and has agreed indicative terms for a new 
multilateral Australian debt facility of $175m. Whilst delays were encountered during FY14 delivering new manufactured 
homes, Ingenia is confident these issues have been largely resolved and the rate of delivery and sale of new manufactured 
homes will significantly increase during FY15. 

There will be a strong focus on finalising divestment of the New Zealand Students portfolio and exploring opportunities 
for recycling capital from the Settlers Lifestyle portfolio. At the same time, the Group will continue to regularly assess 
the performance of its existing assets and where appropriate to recycle that capital into other opportunities delivering 
superior returns.

Ingenia is confident of delivering further improved financial returns for securityholders during FY15 assuming no material 
decline in market conditions. Consistent with prior years, these returns will likely be skewed to the second half of the 
financial year.

12. MESSAGE FROM THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
Dear Securityholders,

The Board of Ingenia Communities Group (“Ingenia”) is pleased to present the Remuneration Report for FY14.

12.1 Introduction
Ingenia has made significant changes to its executive remuneration arrangements for FY15. The changes are detailed in the 
Remuneration Report which follows. The purpose of this message is to highlight those changes, explain why we have made 
them and to put them into the context of Ingenia’s strategy and performance.

12.2 Ingenia’s Performance
The Board has established a strong nexus between remuneration for executives and Ingenia’s performance and returns 
to securityholders.

We are pleased to report that in 2014, Ingenia sustained the strong performance record it has established since 
internalisation in June 2012. Some highlights of that performance are:

Ingenia was included in S&P/ASX 300 Index in September 2013

 – Ranked # 1 in BDO A-REIT Survey 2012 and 2013
 –
 – Ranked # 1 TSR performer in FY14 National Australia Bank review of S&P/AREIT 300
 –
 –

Ingenia’s market capitalisation increased from $175m at 30 June 2013 to $338m at 30 June 2014, an increase of 93%

In FY14 Ingenia’s underlying profit increased by 97% to $11.6m and the final six months distribution increased from 0.5 cents 
to 0.65 cents per security

 – Securities are currently trading at a 41% premium to NAV

12.3 Ingenia’s Corporate Strategy
Ingenia has refined its corporate strategy over the past three years to focus on affordable, yield orientated Australian 
seniors accommodation, principally through the two core cash yielding businesses, outlined below, which now comprise 
75% of the portfolio.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

Active Lifestyle Estates (lifestyle parks) 
Ingenia is a market leader in lifestyle parks and our business offers significant opportunities for expansion. Ingenia is the 
largest lifestyle parks owner, operator and developer in NSW, with 15 parks acquired since March 2013. We have integrated 
tourism within our lifestyle parks business model.

Garden Villages (rental accommodation)
Ingenia is now the largest owner and operator of seniors rental villages in Australia. Ingenia has been able to significantly 
turnaround the performance of its Garden Villages rental business, which was previously seen as a poor quality asset class. 
Occupancy growth has increased significantly on a like for like basis, new operational management has been recruited and 
over the past two years ten additional low-occupancy villages have been acquired from a mortgagee in possession at very 
reasonable prices.

Other Operations 
Ingenia’s New Zealand student accommodation has been contracted for sale and its DMF villages are under review to free 
up capital to be reinvested in Active Lifestyle Estates.

12.4 Ingenia’s Remuneration Strategy FY15
The Board has aligned Ingenia’s remuneration objectives and strategy to its corporate strategy.

The Remuneration and Nominations Committee (RNC) has established the following three key objectives for our 
remuneration strategy in FY15:

 – Focus management on delivering outcomes, particularly underlying profit growth in the short to medium term. Feedback 

from numerous investor and analyst meetings has sent a very clear message: investors support our strategy but want to 
see Ingenia deliver on that strategy and demonstrate that lifestyle parks can deliver profits for securityholders in FY15 and 
subsequent years.

 – Provide long term value creation for securityholders and strong alignment between executive management and 

securityholders’ interests.

 – Attract, retain and motivate key executive personnel.

More detailed information on those objectives in set out in Section 2.12 (b) of the Remuneration Report.

12.5 Overview of Significant Changes in Remuneration Structure
The Board has focussed our revised remuneration strategy on areas where we believe management can create the most 
value for securityholders.

To implement the remuneration objectives, the RNC has made significant changes to the structure of our remuneration 
arrangements for executive Key Management Personnel in FY15. Those changes have been made after extensive 
consultation with key stakeholders, including investors and proxy advisors, following Ingenia’s inclusion in the S&P/ASX 
300 Index.

The changes made and the reasons for them are outlined below. Additional detail is included in the Remuneration 
Report which we recommend you read.

a. Appointment of new Independent Remuneration Consultants
In March 2014 the Board engaged Guerdon Associates Pty Ltd (Guerdon) to provide independent remuneration advice 
and to review the structure and operation of the Group’s remuneration and incentive plans for FY15. Guerdon worked 
closely with the RNC in a wide ranging review, which led to significant changes.

b. Change Review Date
Guerdon suggested that Ingenia should change the effective date for implementation of remuneration reviews from 1 July to 
1 October each year. The Board resolved to do so on a recommendation from the RNC.

The rationale for this change was:

 – The later review date allows time for results to be audited for assessment of Short Term Incentives (STI) awards and for 

basing Long Term Incentives (LTI).

It allows ample time for release and market assessment of annual results so equity grants are priced on an informed market.

 –
 – Assessment of Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) is made in an informed market.

Annual Report 2014

21

c. Short Term Incentives – Significant Changes in FY15

i. Increase STI 
The percentage of total remuneration allocated to STI for each KMP has been increased. The FY15 maximum STI cash 
awards have only increased $20,000 for the CEO and have been reduced for other executive KMP, because of the 
introduction of deferred equity. 

All FY14 STI awards were paid in cash. In FY15 50% of the STI award will be paid in cash and the other 50% will be 
deferred for 12 months and paid in equity. Deferred STI is subject to a malus or forfeiture provision if earnings are not 
sustained at a level within a set threshold of prior year’s earnings. 

The primary reason for the increase in STI (which is partially offset by a decrease in LTI) is to focus executive KMP on 
the key objective, delivering on our strategy, particularly delivering underlying profit growth and the key operational 
drivers of that growth, to meet investor expectations. The deferral has been introduced to recognise how important 
it is that Ingenia’s high growth expectations are achieved and sustained, and to align STI awards with securityholder 
interests.

ii. Deferred STI
Deferred STI will be awarded in Rights to stapled securities, plus additional securities equal to distributions paid on a 
reinvestment basis upon vesting. KMP will not receive cash distributions on unvested Rights, they will receive additional 
deferred Rights. 

The rationale behind this change is to incentivise KMP to maintain and increase the level of distributions, in line with investor 
expectations.

iii. KPIs
KPIs for STI have been set to incorporate a strong focus on earnings (40%), strategic and operational metrics (50%) 
and people (10%). Quantified metrics have been preferred and KMP have been set challenging KPIs, with ‘Threshold’, 
‘Target’ and ‘Stretch’ performance levels, based on Ingenia’s budget and business plan and taking account of analyst 
consensus. 

iv. 2013-2014 bonuses
In FY14 all bonuses paid to other direct reports of the CEO and other senior executives, who are not KMP, were paid 
in cash. The STI arrangements outlined above (50% cash and 50% deferred equity) have been extended to all executive 
KMP in FY15.

Again, deferred equity has been introduced to recognise how important it is that Ingenia’s high growth expectations 
are achieved and sustained, and to align executive remuneration with securityholders’ interests.

d. Long Term Incentives – Significant Changes in FY15

i. Reduction in LTI
The percentage of total remuneration allocated to LTI for each KMP has been reduced. This  partially offsets the 
increases in STI. 

FY15 LTI awards are still material, so management will continue to focus on long term value creation.

ii. TSR hurdle
FY15 LTI awards in the form of Rights will be assessed on a relative TSR hurdle rather than the absolute TSR hurdle applied in 
FY14. This change is in line with investors’ expressed preferences. The comparator for the relative TSR hurdle will be the S&P 
ASX 300 Industrials Index (“Index”). 

This change is to align to investor preference of relative TSR and the Industrial Index was chosen because the Board 
considers it is better aligned to Ingenia’s core business operations and because it is transparent and readily available. 

iii. Zero vesting at threshold
There will be zero vesting at Threshold, which is Index plus 1%. Ingenia must outperform the Index by at least 1% for LTI 
awards to vest. There will be no cliff vesting. Vesting will be straight line between Threshold (at Index plus 1%) to Maximum 
(at Index plus 6% or more).

22

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

iv. Rights vesting  
The assessment date for LTI Rights vesting will be 30 September three years after grant and grants will be based 
on 30 day VWAP. 

The timing helps to ensure an informed market post release of audited results and 30 day VWAP reduces the risk and 
impact of security price volatility. 

v. Vested Rights  
Vested Rights will be converted to stapled securities, plus additional securities equal to distributions paid on 
a reinvestment basis upon vesting.  

The rationale for this change is to incentivise executive KMP to maintain and increase distributions, in line with 
investor expectations.

vi. Forfeiture provision
A ‘malus’ or forfeiture provision will be applied to all LTIs.

e. Equity Grants – Significant Changes in FY15
The basis of allocating LTI Rights has been changed in FY15. This change will reduce executive KMP entitlements to LTI 
awards and move towards market best practice.

In FY14, the formula provided by Ingenia’s Independent Remuneration Consultant to determine security value for the 
purpose of calculating the number of LTI Rights, included a 0.5% ‘probability of vesting’ factor, which effectively doubled the 
maximum LTI entitlement for each KMP. It was subject to some adverse comments from investors and proxy advisors. 

The RNC and Board have consulted with proxy advisors and investors and have accepted a recommendation from our new 
Independent Remuneration Consultant to change the formula in FY15 to eliminate the ‘probability of vesting’ multiple.

f. Plan Rules – Significant Changes in FY15
Guerdon’s review has included a comprehensive review of Ingenia’s Plan Rules to accommodate the changes the Board 
wishes to make. The changes to Plan Rules will be the subject of a Resolution at the 2014 AGM and details are set out in the 
Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum. We urge securityholders to support that Resolution.

12.6 Conclusion
The advice we have received from our Independent Remuneration Consultant and extensive consultations undertaken by 
the RNC has led to change.

The Board believes those changes have resulted in a better remuneration strategy and structure which will achieve the 
remuneration objectives we set and which will serve all Ingenia’s stakeholders well.

I wish to thank all those involved, my RNC and Board colleagues, Guerdon, investors and proxy holders for their 
valuable input.

We recommend Ingenia’s Remuneration Report to investors and seek your support for the resolution to adopt the 
Remuneration Report at the Ingenia AGM on 12 November 2014.

Yours faithfully

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

13.1 Introduction
The Board presents the Remuneration Report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2014, which forms part of the 
Directors’ report and has been prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 (“Act”). The data 
provided in the Remuneration Report was audited as required under section 308(3C) of the Act.

13.2 Remuneration Governance

a. Remuneration and Nomination Committee (RNC)
The Board has an established the RNC, which is directly responsible for reviewing and recommending remuneration 
arrangements for directors, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and senior executives who directly report to the CEO. 

The RNC comprises the following NEDs:

 – Philip Marcus Clark AM (Chairman);
 –
 – Amanda Heyworth.

Jim Hazel; and

The RNC provides oversight for general remuneration levels of the Group ensuring they are set at appropriate levels to 
access the skills and capabilities the Group needs to operate successfully.

The RNC operates under the delegated authority of the Board for some matters related to remuneration arrangements for 
both executives and non-executives, and is required to make recommendations to the Board. The RNC also reviews and 
makes recommendations to the Board on incentive schemes.

The RNC is required to meet regularly throughout the year, and in any event at least twice per year, and considers 
recommendations from internal management and external consultants. 

The Board is ultimately responsible for decisions made on recommendations from the RNC. 

b. External Remuneration Advisers
The Board engaged Godfrey Remuneration Group Pty Ltd (“GRG”) to provide independent recommendations in relation to 
remuneration of the executive roles within the Group for FY14.

GRG provided a report on market benchmarking of executive remuneration which outlined the following:

new legislation requirements and regulatory developments;

 –
 – overall remuneration framework and strategy; 
 –
 – market data and trends in remuneration structures.

considerations relating to termination of contracts; and

GRG also provided recommendations on fixed remuneration and the design of short-term and long-term incentive plans for 
the key executives of the Group, including the CEO.

GRG provided a further report on market benchmarking of senior executive remuneration for the CEO, Chief Financial 
Officer (“CFO”) and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) roles and made recommendations on their base remuneration and 
incentive schemes. They also provided a benchmarking report and recommendations on NED remuneration.

For the provision of the advice for FY14, GRG were commissioned by, engaged with, and addressed reports directly to the 
Chairman of the RNC.

In March 2014, the Board rotated external remuneration advisors and engaged Guerdon Associates to provide independent 
remuneration advice for Key Management Personnel (KMP), including senior executives and NEDs and to review the rules of 
the Group’s LTI and STI Plans for FY15.

For the provision of the advice and recommendations to date, Guerdon Associates have been commissioned by, engaged 
with, and addressed reports directly to the Chairman of the RNC.

The Board is satisfied that the remuneration advice from both GRG and Guerdon Associates was made free from undue 
influence by the KMP to whom the advice related, due to there being no engagement with the remuneration consultants 
outside of the Chairman of the RNC. Declarations of independence from GRG and Guerdon Associates were received by the 
Board prior to the acceptance of their engagements and accompanied their reports.

GRG were paid $26,400 for the remuneration advice work outlined above that they provided during the FY14.

While remuneration services were received, no remuneration recommendations as defined under Division 1, Part 1.2.98 (1) 
of the Act, were made by Guerdon Associates. For the remuneration advice they have provided, Guerdon Associates have 
been paid $49,325 to the date of this report.

13.4 Remuneration of KMP (Excluding Non-Executive Directors)
a. Remuneration Policy
The Group’s Remuneration Policy is to ensure that remuneration packages properly reflect the person’s duties and 
responsibilities and that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of suitable quality.

The structure of remuneration, as explained below, is designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the 
achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of long-term value creation for securityholders.  
The remuneration structures take into account a range of factors, including the following:

ability to impact achievement of the strategic objectives of the Group;

capability, skills and experience;

 –
 –
 – performance of the KMP in their roles;
 –
the Group’s overall performance;
 –
 –

the need to ensure continuity of executive talent.

remuneration levels being paid by competitors for similar positions; and

Refer below for detail of the mechanisms in place, which link the remuneration outcomes to individual and the Group’s 
performance.

b. Link between Remuneration and Performance
The Board understands the importance of the relationship between the Group’s remuneration policy for KMP and 
the Group’s performance. The remuneration packages for KMP are aimed at achieving this balance and aligning KMP 
remuneration with the interests of securityholders. 

Remuneration Component

Link to Group Performance

Fixed remuneration

Short-term incentive (STI)

Long-term incentive (LTI)

Fixed remuneration is not directly linked to Group 
performance. It is set with reference to the individual’s role, 
responsibilities and performance and remuneration levels for 
similar positions in the market.

STIs are awarded to individuals whose achievements, 
behaviour and focus meets the Group’s business plan and key 
result expectations measured over the financial year.

In FY14 the payment is in cash. For FY15 payment will be in 
cash and a deferred equity element linked to earnings growth 
sustainability.

LTIs are granted to individuals to align their focus with the 
Group’s required TSR performance measured over three 
financial years. 

The Board maintains sole discretion over the granting of the 
LTI to eligible employees.

Payment will be received in equity for alignment with 
securityholders.

13.5 Total Fixed Remuneration (Excluding Non-Executive Directors)
Total fixed remuneration (TFR) is a guaranteed annual salary, which is calculated on a total cost basis, which may include 
salary-packaged benefits grossed up for FBT payable, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other 
non-cash benefits that may be agreed from time to time.

The RNC reviews and makes recommendations to the Board in relation to fixed remuneration levels for KMP on an 
annual basis.

The table below details the TFR for each of the executives for the year ended 30 June 2014:

(1)  Additional payment was made during the current year due to underpayment in the prior fiscal year. 

(2)  Leave without pay was taken during the year.

(3)  Based on four days per week.

13.6 Short-Term Incentive Scheme (STI)
The STI scheme aims to reward eligible employees whose achievements, behaviour and focus meets the Group’s business 
plan and key result expectations during one or more specified measurement periods.

Initial participation in the scheme is completely at the discretion of the Board.

The quantum of the STI opportunity for the year ended 30 June 2014 was determined based upon recommendations 
from GRG.

For those employees who participate in the scheme, the opportunity for reward is assessed against specific KPI’s for each 
employee, which are documented in a written statement (Plan Statement) identifying:

 – The percentage weighting and measurement period for each KPI;
 – The KPI outcome measures set with a threshold, on target and stretch performance measure; and
 – The maximum STI award amount payable for achieving each of the performance levels, calculated on the employee’s base 

remuneration at the time the Plan Statement is issued.

The Board has structured the KPIs around both financial metrics, such as underlying profit and non-financial metrics around 
strategy development and execution, business performance, people and stakeholder relationships.

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

13.7 Long-Term Incentive Scheme
The objective of the Group’s LTI scheme is to align long-term securityholder returns with the ‘at risk’ compensation payable 
to executive level employees whilst also acting as a mechanism to retain key talent. 

The scheme comprises two types of security rights, RQRs and PQRs (together referred to as “quantum rights”).

RQRs are applied for retention purposes. No RQRs were granted in 2013-2014. PQRs are applied to focus and reward 
executives on long term performance over 3 or more years. PQRs were granted during FY14.

Upon vesting of a number of quantum rights, the holder will be issued with securities equivalent to the value of vested 
quantum rights on the vesting date, provided and to the extent that the value of the quantum rights on the vesting date 
exceeds $1,000. The value of each quantum right on the vesting date shall be equivalent to the security price on the 
vesting date.

The FY14 LTI components of Simon Owen’s remuneration were approved by securityholders at the Annual General Meeting 
held on 19 November 2013. Any LTI components of Simon Owen’s remuneration for FY15 will be subject to securityholder 
approval at the 2014 Annual General Meeting to be held on 12 November 2014.

a. PQRs
The Board has adopted an LTI plan (“LTIP”) with the aim of rewarding executives for delivering returns to securityholders 
that are consistent with, or exceed, expectations.

PQRs granted in FY14 vest based on the Group’s performance as measured by the absolute TSR. TSR is calculated as the 
percentage gain from an investment in Ingenia Communities securities over the vesting period, assuming that distributions 
are reinvested. 

GRG was specifically asked to advise on this practice in 2012. GRG advised that they considered absolute TSR to be the 
appropriate measure for the Group to use. They confirmed that advice in 2013 and 2014. 

For 2015, Guerdon Associates has recommended that the performance criterion be relative TSR from 1 October to 
30 September 3 years later, against ASX 300 Industrials Index. The Board has accepted this recommendation.

The vesting period for PQRs granted in FY14 is 3 years from 1 July 2013.

The vesting conditions are based on Group performance over the vesting period as measured by the actual TSR.

The Board has absolute discretion to vary the vesting conditions outlined in the table below.

i. PQRs issued in FY13
In respect of the 2012-13 year, the percentage of PQRs held by an eligible employee on the vesting date in respect 
of a Scheme Year that may vest shall be determined in accordance with the table below:

Where Group’s Actual TSR over the  
3 Year Vesting Period is:

Percentage of Employee’s RQRs that may Vest  
in respect of the Scheme Year:

Below 26% - below threshold performance.

b. Legacy RQRs
These are rights that were granted at the time the Group was internalised, to encourage the retention of key executives and 
were subject to the holder remaining an employee of the Group until the end of the retention period, which was two years. 
An employee is not required to pay for a RQR.

RQRs were granted to the following employees during the year ended 30 June 2012 as a one off retention bonus of between 
25% and 50% of the Executive’s total fixed annual remuneration in FY13 only. They were aimed at incentivising them to 
remain with the business during the important transitional phase of Internalisation. 

These rights vested on 1 July 2014 and have been converted to Ingenia securities as at that date.

c. LTI – Termination of Employment
The following table outlines the treatment of unvested rights at the time of a termination of employment:

Termination Circumstance

Unvested Quantum Rights

Dismissal (termination for cause)

All are forfeited.

Resignation

Other circumstance

All are forfeited unless and to the extent otherwise determined by the Board.

Rights granted in the financial year of termination of employment are forfeited in the 
same proportion as the remainder of the financial year bears to the full financial year.

Rights that do not lapse at the termination of employment will continue to be held by 
participants with a view to testing for vesting at the end of the measurement period.

If the security price at the end of the measurement period is less than the security price 
at the date of cessation of employment then:

PQR – the rights will lapse and an amount up to the value of the Rights that would 
otherwise have vested will be paid in cash.

If the security price at the end of the measurement period is not less than the security 
price at the date of termination of employment then:

PQR – the rights will be tested for vesting in accordance with the terms of rights.

13.12 FY15 Remuneration
This section of the Remuneration Report deals with the period from 1 July 2014 to the date of this report.

Significant changes have been made to the Group’s approach to executive KMP remuneration for the FY15 year. These 
changes are detailed and highlighted below.

a. External Remuneration Consultants
Guerdon Associates were appointed by the Board to provide independent remuneration advice for KMP remuneration 
in respect of FY15, including latest market practices and a review of the STI and LTI scheme rules.

b. Remuneration Drivers 
The following are considered key drivers in dictating the direction of the remuneration structures for FY15:

i.  Focus management on delivering outcomes in the short to medium term, particularly significant underlying profit 

growth

•  Operationalising strategy: management must deliver tangible results on the strategy presented to securityholders

•  Re-mix of remuneration components, increase STI (and include a 50% deferred equity element) and reduce LTI

•  A significant proportion of total remuneration at risk for all executive KMP

ii.  Provide long-term value creation for securityholders and strong alignment between management and securityholders 

•  Introduce STI awards with 50% deferred equity

•  KPIs for STI: primary focus is delivery of underlying profit growth; additional focus on value adding metrics: lifestyle 

park sales, increasing occupancy, capital recycling

•  LTI 100% deferred equity

•  Rights to be allocated based on the 30 day volume weighted average price after results are announced

•  Shift from absolute TSR to relative TSR against S&P ASX 300 Industrials Index

•  Rights hurdle requires performance above Index with progressive vesting 

•  All deferred equity (STI and LTI) has a forfeiture provision

iii.  Attracting, retaining and motivating KMP

•  FY12 Retention Rights vested 1 July 2014 

•  Small, cohesive senior management team

•  A significant proportion of total remuneration for all executive KMP is performance based 

c. Details of KMP 
There have been no changes to the KMP since 30 June 2014 and before the date of this report.

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

d. Review Date
Guerdon recommended that the Group change the annual remuneration review date from 1 July to 1 October each year, 
to ensure that remuneration reviews are based on final audited results and equity grants for deferred STI and LTI are based 
on an informed market.

e. Target mix of Remuneration Components
Based on market data from Guerdon Associates and recommendations from the RNC, the Board has set the target 
remuneration mix for executives for FY15, expressed as a percentage of total remuneration, as detailed in the table below:

Target mix

CEO

CFO

COO

TFR

43.5%

62.5%

STI

LTI

Total Remuneration

21.7%

12.5%

12.5%

100.0%

100.0%

100.0%

The target mix reflects implementation of the key remuneration drivers set out above.

f. Total Fixed Remuneration 
Based on market data from Guerdon Associates and recommendations from the RNC, the Board has set TFR for each of the 
executives for FY15 as detailed in the table below:

Executives

Simon Owen

Tania Betts

Nikki Fisher(1)

Position

TFR (p.a.)

Managing Director and CEO

$650,000

CFO

COO

$328,000

$315,000

(1)  Currently pro-rated for 4 days per week.

The increases in FY15 fixed remuneration for the Managing Director and CEO is 8.3% and for the CFO and COO is 5.0% each. 
The Board considers these increases reasonable in the context of:

 – Over 90% increase in the total market capitalisation of the Group during FY14
 – Over 55% total securityholder returns on a fully reinvested basis, during FY14

Data for TFR ranges for the CFO and COO for FY15 were provided by Guerdon Associates. The RNC used an element of 
judgement to determine the appropriate positioning within this range and arrived at the TFR amounts set out above. Those 
recommendations were approved by the Board.

g. Revised LTI and STI Scheme Rules
Guerdon Associates was engaged to review the rules of the plans for the STI and LTI scheme. Guerdon Associates proposed 
new Rights Plan Rules, which were endorsed by the RNC and approved by the Board. These new rules will be subject to 
securityholder approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 12 November 2014.

h. STI 
A structural change has been implemented for the FY15 STI with 50% of the maximum STI for the executive KMP being paid 
in cash and the remaining 50% being a deferred equity element, subject to forfeiture where earnings growth is not sustained. 
The deferral is for 12 months and sustainability has been defined as earnings growth in the following year to be equal to or 
above a set threshold on prior year. The deferral is to be rights to INA stapled securities, plus additional stapled securities 
equal to distributions during the deferral period on a reinvestment basis.

The STI deferral rights are subject to the following terms and conditions:

a ‘malus’ (forfeiture) provision during the deferral period

 –
 –
 – on the vesting date Ingenia will cause the relevant number of INA securities to be issued to the executive in accordance 

a one-year deferral period and are eligible to vest on or following 1 October 2016

with a prescribed formula

 –

no amount is payable by the executive for the issue or transfer of INA securities to the executive.

The STI award is subject to STI performance conditions (KPIs) that focus on underlying profit, strategic, operational and 
people and reporting metrics. In each case, the KPIs are set with ‘threshold’, ‘target’ and ‘stretch’ performance levels, 
with entitlements calculated on a pro-rata basis between these levels.

Details of the KPI split for each executive KMP is as follows:

the comment in Section 2.7(b) above in relation to RQR which vested on 1 July 2014.

i. Long term incentive plan

ii. Rights Performance Conditions
On advice from Guerdon, the RNC has recommended and the Board has approved, significant changes in FY15 to:

 –
 –

the performance conditions for vesting of Rights, and

the methodology used to convert dollar amount awards to Rights entitlements.

The Rights are subject to the LTIP Performance Condition, which is based on growth in INA’s TSR relative to the ASX 300 
Industrials Index return over the Rights Performance Period.

The ASX 300 Index was chosen because the Board considers it to be transparent and more closely aligned to the Group’s 
core business operations.

Total TSR is the growth in the security price plus distributions, assuming distributions are reinvested. To minimise the impact 
of any short-term volatility, INA’s TSR will be calculated using the weighted average of the closing security price over the 
30 days up to and including the trading day prior to the start and the 30 days up to and including the end trading day of 
the Rights Performance Period.

38

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

The Rights will vest on the following basis:

Growth Rate in INA’s TSR

% of Rights that Vest

Below Threshold

At Threshold

Index + less than 1% CAGR

Index + 1% CAGR

Nil

10%

Between Threshold and Maximum

Between Index + 1% and 6% CAGR 10% plus an additional amount 

progressively vesting on a straight line 
basis between Threshold and Maximum 

Maximum

Index + 6% CAGR

100%

CAGR: compound annual growth rate

It is important to note that executive KMP must outperform the Index to qualify for an award of Rights.

The methodology recommended by the Group’s Independent Remuneration Consultant and used to calculate Rights 
entitlement in FY14 was subject to some criticism. That formula included a 0.5 “probability of vesting” factors, which 
effectively doubled Rights grants.

A different methodology has been used to calculate Rights entitlements in FY15 which has been recommended by Guerdon 
and adopted by the RNC and the Board.

The FY15 methodology determines security value as the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of INA securities in the 
period of 30 trading days ending on 30 September 2014. The number of Rights granted in FY15 will be calculated by dividing 
the Rights by the 30 day VWAP of the INA security price. Each Right vested equals one INA security plus an additional 
number of INA securities calculated on the basis of the distributions that would have been paid during the relevant period 
being reinvested. 

iii. Entitlement to Distribution adjustment
LTI grants will be entitlements to Rights to stapled securities plus additional stapled securities equal to distributions paid 
during the vesting period. The Board is keen to see executive KMP incentivised to grow distributions to securityholders.

(1)  Subject to securityholder approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 12 November 2014.

In accordance with the Board’s objective, a significant proportion of each executive KMP’s total maximum remuneration 
in FY15 is performance based. The percentage of total maximum remuneration at risk for each executive KMP is:

CEO
CFO
COO

56.5%
37.5%
37.5%

It is worth noting that Simon Owen’s total maximum remuneration has reduced from an effective level of $1,971,600 in FY14 
to a level of $1,495,000 in FY15. The principle factor contributing to that reduction is the change in the methodology used to 
calculate the Rights entitlement, detailed above. 

k. Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration
Guerdon Associates was engaged to provide a benchmarking report on the levels of NED remuneration in determining the 
appropriate level of fees for FY15.

Based on the Guerdon Associates report, the RNC recommended that the Chair’s remuneration for FY15 remain unchanged 
at $170,000 per annum. The Board approved the RNC’s recommendation. The Chair did not participate in that decision.

Based on the Guerdon Associates report, the RNC recommended that remuneration for FY15 be set at $93,000 per annum 
for each NED other than the Chair. The Board approved the RNC’s recommendation.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014

Annual Report 2014

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

a. The Group
The financial report of Ingenia Communities Holdings 
Limited (the “Company”) comprises the consolidated 
financial report of the Company and its controlled entities, 
including Ingenia Communities Fund (“ICF” or the “Fund”) 
and Ingenia Communities Management Trust (“ICMT”) 
(collectively, the “Trusts”). The shares of the Company 
are “stapled” with the units of the Trusts and trade on 
the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) effectively 
as one security. Ingenia Communities RE Limited 
(“ICRE”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, 
is the Responsible Entity of the Trusts. In this report, 
the Company and the Trusts are referred to collectively 
as the Group.

The constitutions of the Company and the Trusts require 
that, for as long as they remain jointly quoted on the ASX, 
the number of shares in the Company and of units in each 
trust shall remain equal and those securityholders in the 
Company and unitholders in each trust shall be identical.

The stapling structure will cease to operate on the first to 
occur of:

 –

 –

the Company or either of the Trusts resolving by 
special resolution in accordance with its constitution to 
terminate the stapling provisions; or

the commencement of the winding up of the Company 
or either of the Trusts.

The financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 
2014 was authorised for issue by the directors on 
19 September 2014.

b. Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
which has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, Australian Interpretations, 
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (“AASBs”) and the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting 
Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board and International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board.

As permitted by Class Order 05/642, issued by the 
Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the 
financial statements and accompanying notes of the Group 
have been presented in the attached combined financial 
report.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and 
all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars 
($’000) unless otherwise stated.

The financial report is prepared on an historical cost 
basis, except for investment properties, retirement village 
resident loans and derivative financial instruments, which 
are measured at fair value.

At 30 June 2014, the Group recorded a net current asset 
deficiency of $159,162,000. This deficiency includes 
retirement village resident loans of $190,122,000 and 
liabilities from discontinued operations of $30,449,000. 
Resident loans obligations of the Group are classified 
as current liabilities due to the demand feature of these 
obligations despite the unlikely possibility that the majority 
of the loans will be settled within the next twelve months. 
Furthermore, if required, the proceeds from new resident 
loans could be used by the Group to settle its existing loan 
obligations should those incumbent residents vacate their 
units. The liabilities of the discontinued operations consist 
mainly of borrowings of $30,081,000 related to a facility 
with the Bank of New Zealand and will be repaid upon 
disposal of the corresponding assets. Accordingly, there 
are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be 
able to pay its debts as and when they become due and 
payable; and the financial report of the Group has been 
prepared on a going concern basis. 

c.  Adoption of New and Revised Accounting 

Standards

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised 
standards and interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its 
operations and effective for the current period. The 
following standards were most relevant to the Group:

 – AASB 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and AASB 
2011-7 “Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from consolidation and Joint Arrangements 
standards”; 

 – AASB 13 “Fair Value Measurement” and AASB 2011-8 
“Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from AASB 13”;

 – AASB 119 “Employee Benefits” (2011) and AASB 2011-10 
“Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from AASB 119 (2011)”;

 – AASB 2012-2 “Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards-Disclosures-Offsetting Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities”; and

 – AASB 2011-4 “Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards to Remove Individual Key Management 
Personnel Disclosure Requirements”.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The impact of application of each Standard is as follows:

Accounting Standard

Impact on the Group

AASB 10 and AASB 2011-7

AASB 13 and AASB 2011-8

AASB 119 and AASB 2011-10

AASB 2012-2

AASB 2011-4

AASB 10 amends the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee when 
a) it has power over an investee; b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement with the investee and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. 
All three conditions have to be met for an investor to have control.

The application of the standard did not have any impact on the Group. 

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and 
disclosures about fair value. The standard is broad in scope and applies to both financial 
instrument and non-financial instrument items with the exception of a few items like 
share-based payments and leases, which are covered by other standards. AASB 13 defines 
fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or liability in an orderly 
transaction in the principal (or the most advantageous) market at the measurement 
date under current market conditions. Valuations made are categorised into three levels 
based on the inputs used. However, regardless of the valuation methodology applied, 
fair value represents the exit price in relation to the asset or liability. The standard applies 
prospectively from 1 January 2013.

The Group has applied requirements of the Standard in all its valuations, in particular 
of investment properties. Additionally, the disclosure requirements of the standard, 
which include information about assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those 
assumptions on fair value, have been complied with. 

AASB 119 amends the definition of short-term employee benefits, with the distinction 
now being based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled within 12 months 
after reporting date (short-term benefit). Long term employee benefits are required to 
be measured using the actuarial valuation method. The method involves projecting future 
cash flows and discounting back to present value. This requirement applies to the annual 
leave balance for the Group. The application of the standard’s requirement for both 
current and previous periods did not result in amendment to the figures disclosed, as the 
changes were not material. 

The standard provides application and presentation guidance to AASB 132 ‘Financial 
Instruments: Presentation’ for applying some offsetting criteria. The Group has applied the 
requirements of the Standard, which necessitates disclosure of information about rights of 
offset and related arrangements for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting 
arrangement or similar arrangement. This has resulted in changes to disclosure principally for 
retirement village resident loans for the Group.

The standard amends AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ to remove individual key 
management personnel disclosures required by Australian specific paragraphs. The 
application of the standard did not have any financial impact on the Group, though there 
have been some changes to disclosures as mandated by the standard.

d. Principles of Consolidation
The Group’s consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (including the Trusts). Subsidiaries 
are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Company or the Trusts have the power to govern the 
financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent, using consistent accounting 
policies. Inter-company balances and transactions including dividends and unrealised gains and losses from intra-group 
transactions have been eliminated.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the parent obtains control. They are de-consolidated from the date 
that control ceases.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the parent’s financial statements.

The Company was incorporated on 24 November 2011. In accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business 
Combinations, the stapling of the Company and the Trusts was regarded as a business combination. Under AASB 3, the 
stapling was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with ICF “acquiring” the Company and the Company subsequently 
being identified as the ongoing parent for preparing consolidated financial reports. Consequently, the consolidated financial 
statements are a continuation of the financial statements of the Trusts, and include the results of the Company from the date 
of incorporation.

Annual Report 2014

47

e. Business Combinations and Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the 
acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured 
as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, 
measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount 
of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each 
business combination, the Group elects whether it 
measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either 
at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are 
expensed and included in other expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the 
financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification and designation in accordance with the 
contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent 
conditions as at the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the 
acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held 
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value 
at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of 
the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the 
amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the 
net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 
If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the 
net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is 
recognised in profit or loss.

f. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
The Group has classified certain components as 
discontinued operations. A discontinued operation is a 
component of the entity that has been disposed of, or is 
classified as held for sale, and that represents a separate 
major line of business or geographical area of operations, 
or is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such 
a line of business or area of operations. The results of 
discontinued operations are presented separately on the 
face of the income statement. 

Components of the entity are classified as held for sale if 
their carrying amount will be recovered principally through 
a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. 
They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount 
and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as 
investment property, which are carried at fair value.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or 
subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) 
to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for 
any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell 
of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any 
cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain 
or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of 
the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at 
the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale, and the 
assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale, are 
presented separately from the other assets on the face 
of the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group 
classified as held for sale are presented separately from 
other liabilities on the face of the balance sheet.

Details of discontinued operations and assets held for sale 
are given at Note 8.

g. Dividends and Distributions
A liability for any dividend or distribution declared on or 
before the end of the reporting period is recognised on the 
balance sheet in the reporting period to which the dividend 
or distribution pertains. 

h. Foreign Currency

i. Functional and presentation currencies
The presentation currency of the Group, and functional 
currency of the Company, is the Australian dollar. 

ii. Translation of foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded in 
the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing 
at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currency are retranslated 
at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance date. 
All differences in the consolidated financial report are 
taken to the income statement with the exception of 
differences on foreign currency borrowings designated 
as a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. 
These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of 
the net investment at which time they are recognised 
in the income statement.

A non-monetary item that is measured at fair value in a 
foreign currency is translated using the exchange rates at 
the date when the fair value was determined.

iii.  Translation of financial statements of foreign 

subsidiaries

The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is not the 
Australian dollar. At reporting date, the assets and liabilities of 
these entities are translated into the presentation currency of 
the Group at the rate of exchange prevailing at balance date. 
Financial performance is translated at the average exchange 
rate prevailing during the reporting period. The exchange 
differences arising on translation are taken directly to the 
foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative 
amount recognised in equity relating to that foreign 
operation is recognised in the income statement.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

i. Leases
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially 
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the 
leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at 
the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present 
value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are 
apportioned between the finance charges and reduction 
of the lease liability to achieve a constant rate of interest 
on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges 
are recognised as an expense in the income statement.

Finance leases, which transfer away from the Group 
substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to 
ownership of the leased item, are recognised at the 
inception of the lease. A finance lease receivable is 
recognised on inception at the present value of the 
minimum lease receipts. Finance lease receipts are 
apportioned between the interest income and reduction 
in the lease receivable to achieve a constant rate of 
interest on the remaining balance of the receivable. 
Interest is recognised as income in the income statement.

Leases of properties that are classified as investment 
properties, are classified as finance leases under AASB 140 
Investment Properties. 

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks 
and benefits of ownership are classified as operating 
leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an 
expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis 
over the term of the lease.

j. Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated 
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if 
any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the 
property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs for 
long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria 
are met. When significant parts of property, plant and 
equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the 
Group recognises such parts as individual assets with 
specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. 
Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost 
is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and 
equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria 
are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are 
recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The present value 
of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset 
after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset 
if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.

k. Financial Assets and Liabilities
Current and non-current financial assets and liabilities 
within the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement are classified as fair value 
through profit or loss; loans and receivables; held-to-
maturity investments or as available-for-sale. The Group 
determines the classification of its financial assets and 
liabilities at initial recognition with the classification 
depending on the purpose for which the asset or 
liability was acquired or issued. 

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised at 
fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs 
unless their classification is at fair value through profit 
or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value 
or amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
Changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets 
are recorded directly in equity. Changes in fair values 
of any other financial assets and liabilities classified as 
at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the 
income statement.

The fair values of financial instruments that are actively 
traded in organised financial markets are determined by 
reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business 
on the balance sheet date. For those with no active market, 
fair values are determined using valuation techniques. 
Such techniques include: using recent arm’s length market 
transactions; reference to the current market value of another 
instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash 
flow analysis and option pricing models, making as much use 
of available and supportable market data as possible and 
keeping judgemental inputs to a minimum.

l. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Assets other than investment property and financial assets 
carried at fair value, are tested for impairment whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment 
loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s 
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The 
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value 
less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of 
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest 
levels for which there are separately identifiable cash 
inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows 
from other assets or groups of assets. Non-financial assets 
excluding goodwill which have suffered impairment are 
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each 
reporting date.

m. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet and cash 
flow statements comprise cash at bank and in hand and 
short-term deposits that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk 
of changes in value.

n. Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at 
fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method, less any provision 
for impairment. An allowance for impairment is made 
when there is objective evidence that collection of the 
full amount is no longer probable.

o. Inventories 
The Group holds inventory in relation to the acquisition 
and development of manufactured homes within its 
Active Lifestyle Estates segment. 

Inventories are held at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. 

Costs of inventories comprise all acquisition costs, costs 
of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the 
inventories to their present location and condition. 
Inventory includes work in progress and raw materials 
used in the production of manufactured home units.

Net realisable value is determined on the basis of an 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business 
less estimated costs of completion and the estimated 
costs necessary to make the sale.

p. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such 
as foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps 
to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency 
and interest rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial 
instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date 
in which the derivative contract is entered into and are 
subsequently remeasured to fair value.

q. Investment Property
Land and buildings have the function of an investment 
and are regarded as composite assets. In accordance with 
applicable accounting standards, the buildings, including 
plant and equipment, are not depreciated.

Investment property includes property under construction 
and tourism cabins.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, 
including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, 
which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. 
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values 
of investment properties are included in the income 
statement in the period in which they arise, including 
corresponding tax effect. 

Fair value is 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 
in the principal market for the asset or liability or in its 
absence, the most advantageous market.

It is the Group’s policy to have all investment properties 
externally valued at intervals of not more than two years 
and that such valuation be reflected in the financial reports 
of the Group. It is the policy of the Responsible Entity to 
review the fair value of each investment property every six 
months and to cause investment properties to be revalued 
to fair values whenever their carrying value materially 
differs to their fair values.

Changes in the fair value of the an investment property are 
recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.

In determining fair values, expected net cash flows 
are discounted to their present value using a market 
determined risk adjusted discount rate. The assessment 
of fair value of investment properties does not take into 
account potential capital gains tax assessable. 

Annual Report 2014

49

r. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on 
initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets 
acquired in a business combination are their fair values 
as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, 
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Internally generated intangible assets are not capitalised 
and expenditure is reflected in the income statement in 
the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets have been assessed 
as finite. Consequently, intangible assets are amortised on 
a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives and 
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication 
that the intangible asset may be impaired. Amortisation 
expense is recognised in the income statement in the 
expense category consistent with the function of the 
intangible assets.

s. Payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and 
due to their short-term nature are not discounted. They 
represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the 
Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid 
and are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to 
make future payments in respect of the purchase of these 
goods and services. 

t. Provisions, including Employee Benefits

i. General
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present 
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying 
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation 
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the 
obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision 
to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, 
the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only 
when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense 
relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit 
or loss net of any reimbursement. 

ii. Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 
twelve months of the reporting date are recognised 
in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting 
date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-
accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is 
taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. 

iii. Long service leave 
The liability for long service leave is recognised and 
measured as the present value of expected future 
payments to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees up to the reporting date using the projected 
unit credit method. 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 national government bonds with 
terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely 
as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

u. Retirement Village Resident Loans
These loans, which are repayable on the departure of the 
resident, are classified as financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit and loss with resulting fair value adjustments 
recognised in the income statement. The fair value of the 
obligation is measured as the ingoing contribution plus the 
resident’s share of capital appreciation to reporting date. 
Although the expected average residency term is more than 
ten years, these obligations are classified as current liabilities, 
as required by Accounting Standards, because the Group 
does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement to 
more than twelve months after reporting date.

This liability is stated net of accrued deferred management 
fees at reporting date, because the Group’s contracts with 
residents require net settlement of those obligations.

Refer to Notes 27(k) and 1(aa) for information regarding 
the valuation of retirement village resident loans.

v. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recorded at the fair value of the 
consideration received less directly attributable transaction 
costs associated with the borrowings. After initial recognition, 
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest rate method. Under this method 
fees, costs, discounts and premiums that are yield related are 
included as part of the carrying amount of the borrowing and 
amortised over its expected life.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the 
Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement to 
more than twelve months after reporting date.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except 
where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of a qualifying asset. When this 
is the case, they are capitalised as part of the acquisition 
cost of that asset.

w. Issued Equity
Issued and paid up securities are recognised at the fair 
value of the consideration received by the Group. Any 
transaction costs arising on issue of ordinary securities are 
recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the security 
proceeds received.

x. Revenue
Revenue from rents, interest and distributions is recognised 
to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits 
will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably 
measured. Revenue brought to account but not received 
at balance date is recognised as a receivable.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals 
are recognised as income in the financial year that they 
are earned. Fixed rental increases that do not represent 
direct compensation for underlying cost increases or 
capital expenditures are recognised on a straight-line basis 
until the next market review date. Rent paid in advance is 
recognised as unearned income.

Deferred management fee income is calculated as the 
expected fee to be earned on a resident’s ingoing loan, 
allocated pro-rata over the resident’s expected tenure, 
together with any share of capital appreciation that has 
occurred at reporting date.

Revenue from the sale of manufactured homes within the 
Active Lifestyle Estate segment is recognised when the 
significant risks, rewards of ownership and effective control 
has been transferred to the buyer. 

Government incentives are recognised where there is 
reasonable assurance the incentive will be received and 
all attached conditions will be complied with. When the 
incentive relates to an expense item, it is recognised as 
income on a systematic basis over the periods that the 
incentive is intended to compensate.

Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues using 
the effective interest rate method.

y. Share-Based Payment Transactions
Certain senior executives of the Group receive 
remuneration in the form of share-based payment 
transactions, whereby employees render services as 
consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled 
transactions). The Group does not have any cash-settled 
share-based payment transactions in the financial year. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, 
together with a corresponding increase in reserves in 
equity, over the period in which the performance and 
service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense 
recognised for these transactions at each reporting date 
until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the 
vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate 
of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately 
vest. The income statement expense or credit for a 
period represents the movement in cumulative expense 
recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and 
is recognised in employee expenses. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately 
vest, except for equity-settled transactions for which 
vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting 
condition. These are treated as vesting irrespective of 
whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is 
satisfied, provided that all other performance and service 
conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled transaction are 
modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense 
as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms 
of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised 
for any modification that increases the total fair value of 
the transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee 
as measured at the date of modification.

When an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as 
if it vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not 
yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. 
This includes any award where non-vesting conditions 
within the control of either the Group or the employee 
are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for 
the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement 
award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and 
new awards are treated as if they were a modification of 
the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

Annual Report 2014

The dilutive effect of outstanding rights is reflected as 
additional share dilution in the computation of diluted 
earnings per share. 

z. Income Tax

i. Current income tax
Under the current tax legislation, ICF and its subsidiaries 
are not liable to pay Australian income tax provided 
that its taxable income (including any assessable capital 
gains) is fully distributed to securityholders each year. 
Tax allowances for building and fixtures depreciation are 
distributed to securityholders in the form of the tax-
deferred component of distributions.

However, the Company, ICMT and their subsidiaries are 
subject to Australian income tax.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current period are 
measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, 
or paid to, the taxation authorities based on the current 
period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used 
to compute the amount are those that are enacted or 
substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The subsidiaries that hold the Group’s foreign properties may 
be subject to corporate income tax and withholding tax in 
the countries in which they operate. Under current Australian 
income tax legislation, securityholders may be entitled to 
receive a foreign tax credit for this withholding tax.

ii. Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax represents tax (including withholding 
tax) expected to be payable or recoverable by taxable 
entities on the differences between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial 
reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the 
year when the asset is realised through continuing use or 
the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that 
have been enacted or substantively enacted at reporting 
date. Income taxes related to items recognised directly in 
equity are recognised in equity and not against income.

iii. Tax Consolidation
Each of the Company and ICMT and their respective 
subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidation group with 
the Company or ICMT being the head entity. The head 
entity and the controlled entities in the tax consolidation 
group continue to account for their own current and 
deferred tax amounts. Each tax consolidated group has 
applied a group allocation approach in determining the 
appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes 
to allocate to the members therein.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, 
each tax consolidated group also recognises the current 
tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising 
from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed 
from entities in their respective tax consolidated group.

Assets of liabilities arising under tax funding agreements 
with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts 
receivable from or payable to other entities in the group. 

aa. Fair Value Measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, such as, 
derivatives, and non-financial assets such as investment 
properties, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, 
fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised 
cost are disclosed in Note 27. 

Fair value is 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. 
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption 
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability 
takes place either: 

 –
 –

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or 

In the absence of a principal market, in the most 
advantageous market for the asset or liability. 

The principal or the most advantageous market must be 
accessible to the Group. 

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using 
the assumptions that market participants would use 
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market 
participants act in their economic best interest. 

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes 
into account a market participant’s ability to generate 
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and 
best use or by selling it to another market participant that 
would use the asset in its highest and best use. 

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate 
in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are 
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of 
relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs. 

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial 
statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines 
whether transfers have occurred between Levels in 
the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on 
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement as a whole) at the end of the reporting 
period.

The Group’s Audit and Risk Committee determines the 
policies and procedures for both recurring fair value 
measurement, such as investment properties and resident 
loans and for non-recurring measurement. 

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant 
assets, such as properties and significant liabilities. 
Selection criteria include market knowledge, experience 
and qualifications, reputation, independence and whether 
professional standards are maintained. 

On a six monthly basis management presents valuation 
results to the Audit and Risk Committee and the 
Group’s auditors. This includes a discussion of the major 
assumptions used in the valuations. 

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has 
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of 
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability 
and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

bb. Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)
Revenue, expenses and assets (with the exception of 
receivables) are recognised net of the amount of GST to 
the extent that the GST is recoverable from the taxation 
authority. Where GST is not recoverable, it is recognised as 
part of the cost of the acquisition, or as an expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. 
The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the 
tax authority is included in the balance sheet as an asset 
or liability.

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

cc. Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members 
of the Group, divided by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to 
the Group divided by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, 
adjusted for any bonus element.

dd. Pending Accounting Standards
AASB 9 Financial Instruments is applicable to reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group 
has not early adopted this standard. This standard provides 
requirements for the classification and measurement of 
financial assets and accounting for financial liabilities. 
These requirements seek to improve and simplify the 
requirements listed in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement. The Group is currently 
evaluating the impact of this standard.

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards-Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities is 
applicable for annual financial periods beginning on or 
after 1 January 2014. The standard makes amendments to 
AASB 132 Financial Instruments-Presentation as a result of 
the issuance of International Financial Reporting Standard 
Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and 
provides application guidance to certain criteria mentioned 
in AASB 132. The application of the Standard does not 
have any impact on the results of the Group as retirement 
village resident loans are already offset as there is a current 
legally enforceable right and there is an intention to settle 
on a net basis.

AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards is applicable for periods beginning on or after 
1 July 2014. This standard clarifies that judgement is 
needed to determine whether an acquisition of investment 
property is solely the acquisition of an investment property 
or whether it is an acquisition of a group of assets or a 
business combination within the scope of AASB 3 Business 
Combinations that includes an investment property. 
The Group currently makes an assessment about this 
classification for each investment property acquired, 
therefore no impact is expected from this change except for 
additional disclosures regarding judgements and estimates.

Other new accounting standards, amendments to 
accounting standards and interpretations have been 
published that are not mandatory for the current reporting 
period. These are not expected to have any material impact 
on the Group’s financial reporting future reporting periods.

ee. Current versus Non-Current Classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance 
sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset 
is current when it is:

 – Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or 

consumed in the normal operating cycle

 – Held primarily for the purpose of trading
 – Expected to be realised within twelve months after the 

reporting period, or

 – Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being 

exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve 
months after reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is current when:

 –
 –
 –

It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle

It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

It is due to be settled within twelve months after the 
reporting period, or

 – There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of 
the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting 
period.

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-
current assets and liabilities.

2.  ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements requires the use 
of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the 
Group 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 below.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and 
are based on historical experience and other factors, 
including expectations of future events that are believed 
to be reasonable under the circumstances.

a. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning 
the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by 
definition, will seldom equal the related actual results. The 
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

i. Valuation of investment property
The Group has investment properties with a carrying amount 
of $498,863,000 (2013: $370,931,000) (refer Note 12), and 
retirement village residents’ loans with a carrying amount 
of $190,122,000 (2013: $175,703,000) (refer Note 16), which 
together represent the estimated fair value of the Group’s 
interest in seniors living properties. In addition, the Group 
holds investment properties with carrying amounts of 
$45,902,000 (2013: $35,343,000) which are included in 
assets of discontinued operations (refer Note 8(b)).

These carrying amounts reflect certain assumptions about 
expected future rentals, rent-free periods, operating 
costs and appropriate discount and capitalisation rates. 
The valuation assumptions for deferred management fee 
villages reflect assumptions relating to average length of 
stay, unit market values, estimates of capital expenditure, 
contract terms with residents, discount rates and projected 
property growth rates. 

In forming these assumptions, the Responsible Entity 
considered information about current and recent sales 
activity, current market rents, and discount and capitalisation 
rates, for properties similar to those owned by the Group, 
as well as independent valuations of the Group’s property.

ii. Valuation of inventories
The Group has inventory in the form of manufactured 
homes, which it carries at the lower of cost or net realisable 
value. Estimates of net realisable value are based on the 
most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates 
are made, of the amount the inventories are expected 
to realise and the estimate of costs to complete. Key 
assumptions require the use of management judgement, 
which are continually reviewed. 

iii. Fair value of derivatives
The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities is based 
on assumptions of future events and involves significant 
estimates. Given the complex nature of these instruments 
and various assumptions that are used in calculating 
mark-to-market values, the Group relies on counterparty 
valuations for derivative values. The counterparty 
valuations are usually based on mid-market rates and 
calculated using the main variables including the forward 
market curve, time and volatility.

iv. Valuation of share-based payments
Valuation of share-based payment transactions is 
performed using judgements around the fair value of 
equity instruments on the date at which they are granted. 
The fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo based 
simulation method. Refer to Note 25 for assumptions used 
in determining the fair value.

v.  Valuation of assets acquired in business combinations
Upon recognising the acquisition, management uses 
estimations and assumptions of the fair value of assets 
and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, including 
judgements related to valuation of investment property 
as discussed above.

vi.  Valuation of retirement village resident loans
The fair value of the retirement village resident loans is 
calculated by reference to the initial loan amount plus 
the resident’s share of any capital gains in accordance 
with their contracts less any deferred management fee 
income accrued to date by the Group as operator. The key 
assumption for calculating the capital gain and deferred 
management fee income components is the value of the 
dwelling being occupied by the resident. This value is 
determined by reference to the valuation of investment 
property as referred to above.

vii. Calculation of deferred management fee (“DMF”)
Deferred management fees are recognised by the Group 
over the estimated period of time the property will be 
leased by the resident and the accrued DMF is realised 
upon exit of the resident. The accrued DMF is based on 
various inputs including the initial price of the property, 
estimated length of stay of the resident, various contract 
terms and projected price of property at time of re-leasing.

b.  Critical Judgements in Applying the Entity’s 

Accounting Policies

There were no judgements, apart from those involving 
estimations, that management has made in the process 
of applying the entity’s accounting policies that had 
a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial report.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

a. Description of Segments
The Group invests in seniors living properties located in Australia with three reportable segments: 

 – Garden Villages – rental villages; 
 – Settlers Lifestyle – deferred management fee villages; and 
 – Active Lifestyle Estates – comprising permanent and short stay rentals within lifestyle parks and the sale of manufactured 

homes. 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief 
operating decision maker in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. Other parts of the Group 
are neither an operating segment nor part of an operating segment. Assets that do not belong to an operating segment are 
described below as “unallocated”.

7. INCOME TAX BENEFIT (CONTINUED)

c. Tax Consolidation
Effective from 1 July 2011, ICH and its Australian domiciled wholly owned subsidiaries formed a tax consolidation group with 
ICH being the head entity. Under the tax funding agreement the funding of tax within the tax group is based on taxable 
income as if that entity was not a member of the tax group.

Effective from 1 July 2012, ICMT and its Australian domiciled owned subsidiaries formed a tax consolidation group with ICMT 
being the head entity. Under the tax funding agreement the funding of tax within the tax group is based on taxable income 
as if that entity was not a member of the tax group. 

Upon entering into the ICMT tax consolidated group, the tax cost bases for certain assets were reset resulting in income tax 
benefits being recorded. In addition, unrecognised losses incurred by entities within the ICMT tax consolidated group are 
now available for utilisation by the ICMT tax consolidated group resulting in an additional income tax benefit being recorded.

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

a. Assets Held for Sale

i. Details of assets held for sale
Prior to 30 June 2014, the Group entered into discussions with a third party regarding the sale of Noyea Riverside Village 
(“Noyea”). Noyea was included within the Settlers Lifestyle segment. Settlement on the sale of Settlers Lifestyle Noyea was 
completed on 31 July 2014 at an adjusted sales price of $5.4 million resulting in $nil gain or loss recognised upon completion.

ii. Assets held for sale
The following is the breakdown of the assets held for sale at Noyea:

Investment property

i. Details of discontinued operations
The Group’s investment in the New Zealand Students business has been classified as a discontinued operation since 30 June 
2011, which is consistent with the previously announced strategy to focus on transitioning to an actively managed Australian 
seniors living business. The Group holds a 100% interest in three facilities in Wellington, New Zealand that are primarily 
leased for 15 years to Victoria University of Wellington and Wellington Institute of Technology.

The Group has completed a sales campaign and terms have been agreed with a global real estate investment firm. Following 
divestment of these operations the proceeds will be reinvested into its Australian lifestyle parks business.

The comparative figures include results from certain properties held is the United States, which had been classified 
as discontinued operations since November 2009. The Group completely exited US operations in February 2013 with 
some funds remaining in escrow. During the current year, the Group received US$6.8 million of escrows and based on 
an assessment of remaining amounts due an additional gain of $0.3 million has been booked.

(1)   Ettalong Beach Holiday Village land component is leased from the Gosford City Council and is recognised as investment property with 

an associated finance lease. 

(2)   The replacement value exceeds the value implied by the capitalisation rate valuation approach resulting in implied capitalisation rates 

below market.

(3)   Noyea Park was classified as held for sale at 30 June 2014. Refer to Note 8(a) for additional information.

(4)   One Mile Beach land component is leased from the Crown under 40 year and perpetual leases and is recognised as investment property 

with an associated finance lease.

(5)   Acquired during the year and carried at cost at balance date. Cost to date is deemed to represent fair value at the end of the year.

Investment property that has not been valued by external valuers at reporting date is carried at the Responsible Entity’s 
estimate of fair value in accordance with the accounting policy detailed at Note 1(q). Properties acquired during the year are 
held at cost, which is reflective of the estimate of fair value.

Valuations made in a foreign currency have been converted at the rate of exchange ruling at valuation date which are 
subsequently translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date.

Valuations of retirement villages are provided net of residents’ loans (after deducting any accrued deferred management 
fees). For presentation in this note, the external valuations shown are stated before deducting this liability to reflect its 
separate balance sheet presentation. The carrying amounts include the fair value of units completed since the date of the 
external valuation.

Select Settlers Lifestyle villages continue to be in the process of converting from a rental to a deferred management fee 
model. The discount rate reflects a combination of development risk on vacant units and DMF from both occupied and 
vacant units. Over time, these properties’ discount rates will likely revert downwards as project risk diminishes.

12. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)

Capitalisation Method
Under the capitalisation method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the expectation of future benefits. 
The capitalisation method involves estimating the expected income projections of the property into perpetuity and applying 
a capitalisation rate. The capitalisation rate is based on current market evidence. Future income projections take into account 
occupancy, rental income and operating expenses. 

Discounted Cash Flow Method
Under the discounted cash flow method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of 
ownership over the asset’s life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash 
flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a market-derived discount rate is applied to establish 
the present value of the income stream associated with the asset. The exit yield normally reflects the exit value expected 
to be achieved upon selling the asset and is a function of the risk adjusted returns of the asset and expected capitalisation 
growth rate.

The duration of the cash flows and the specific timing of inflows and outflows are determined by events such as rent 
reviews, lease renewal and related re-letting, redevelopment, or refurbishment as well as the development of new units. 
The appropriate duration is typically driven by market behaviour that is a characteristic of the class of real property. Periodic 
cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less vacancy, non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease incentives, 
maintenance cost, agent and commission costs and other operating and management expenses. The series of periodic net 
underlying cash flows, along with an estimate of the terminal value anticipated at the end of the projection period, is then 
discounted.

a. Bank Debt
On 21 February 2014, the Group refinanced its Australian dollar denominated bank debt facility to $129,500,000. The facility 
expires on 30 September 2015 and has the following principal financial covenants:

Loan to value ratio (“LVR”) is less than or equal to 50%;

 –
 – Total leverage ratio does not exceed 50%; and
 –

Interest cover ratio (as defined) of at least 1.50x in financial year ending 2014 increasing to at least 1.75x in FY2015.

As at 30 June 2014, the facility has been drawn to $94,000,000 (2013: $68,000,000). The carrying value of investment 
property net of resident liabilities at reporting date for the Group’s Australian properties pledged as security is 
$290,375,000 (2013: $179,320,000).

b. Bank Guarantees
The Group has the ability to utilise a portion of its $129.5 million bank facility to provide bank guarantees. Bank guarantees 
at 30 June 2014 were $4.4 million. Refer to Note 24.

c. Finance Leases
On 23 April 2013, the Group was assigned a commercial lease with 16.5 years remaining with the Gosford City Council for 
land and facilities as part of its Ettalong Beach Holiday Village acquisition. The lease is for an initial three years commencing 
September 2012 with two renewal options of seven years each. The below table is based on the expectation that the lease 
options will be exercised. 

In December 2013, the Group acquired One Mile Beach Holiday Park, accounted for as investment property. Two Crown 
leases are attached to the land, one for 40 years expiring on 19 September 2031 and one for perpetuity.

15. BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)

ii.  Minimum lease payments – perpetual lease
The perpetual lease is recognised as investment property and non-current liability at a value of $1.1 million based on 
a capitalisation rate of 10.6% applied to the current lease payment. Payments each period in relation to the lease are 
recognised as finance expenses in the statement of comprehensive income, therefore, there is no subsequent change 
to the originally determined present value of the minimum lease payments as calculated above. 

As this is a perpetual lease, the lease liability will not amortise and no fair value adjustments in relation to the lease will 
be recognised unless circumstances of the lease change. Under the terms of the lease, lease payments will continue 
into perpetuity. The current annual lease payment is $121,000.

rules at the time of recoupment. Further, the rate at which these losses can be utilised is determined by reference to market 
values at the time of tax consolidation and subsequent events. Accordingly, a portion of these carried forward tax losses 
may not be available in the future.

The Group offsets tax assets and liabilities, if and only if, it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and 
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same 
tax authority.

25. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS
The Group has established a long-term incentive scheme (“Scheme”), which provides for the grant of conditional rights to 
receive securities in the Group. The intention of the Scheme is to align long-term securityholder returns with the ‘at-risk’ 
compensation potentially payable to executive level employees and to reward managers who remain in employment and 
perform at the required levels of performance.

The Scheme encompasses two types of security rights: performance quantum rights (“PQRs”) and retention quantum 
rights (“RQRs”). PQRs vest on completion of a period of service, with the number of rights vesting based on the Group’s 
performance, as measured by total securityholder returns, and RQRs vest on completion of a period of service. On vesting, 
each right entitles the employee to receive one security of the Group for no consideration.

Movements in rights during the year were:

(1)  The RQRs vested on 1 July 2014 and 1,818,000 fully paid stapled securities were issued at that time.

On 19 November 2013, 3,716,000 Performance Quantum Rights (“PQR”) were granted to senior executives of the Group 
under the long-term incentive scheme (“Scheme”). The number of PQRs that will vest under the Scheme depends on Total 
Securityholder Return (“TSR”) achieved and is also conditional on the individual being in employment of the Group on the 
vesting date (30 June 2016). The measurement period for the PQRs is 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2016 and full rights vest if a 
TSR above 40% is achieved during the measurement period. A sliding scale applies for lower TSRs with the number of PQRs 
vesting being nil for a TSR below 26%. One PQR equates to one security in the Group. 

The fair value of the PQRs issued during the year was estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. Assumptions made 
in determining these fair value, and the results of these assumptions, are:

Price of stapled securities at grant date

Volatility of security price

Distribution yield

Risk-free rate at grant date

Expected remaining life at grant date

Fair value of each right

$0.495

30.0%

3.93%

2.96%

2.6 years

$0.325

The fair value of the rights is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. The 
fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The expense recognised for the financial year was 
$680,600 (2013: $293,113).

26. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group aims to meet its strategic objectives and operational needs and to maximise returns to securityholders through 
the appropriate use of debt and equity, while taking account of the additional financial risks of higher debt levels. 

In determining the optimal capital structure, the Group takes into account a number of factors, including the views of 
investors and the market in general, the capital needs of its portfolio, the relative cost of debt versus equity, the execution 
risk of raising equity or debt, and the additional financial risks of debt including increased volatility of earnings due to 
exposure to interest rate movements, the liquidity risk of maturing debt facilities and the potential for acceleration prior to 
maturity. 

In assessing this risk, the Group takes into account the relative security of its income flows, the predictability of its expenses, 
its debt profile, the degree of hedging and the overall level of debt as measured by gearing.

The actual capital structure at a point in time is the product of a number of factors, many of which are market driven and to 
various degrees outside of the control of the Group, particularly the impact of revaluations on gearing levels, the availability 
of new equity and the liquidity in real estate markets. While the Group periodically determines the optimal capital structure, 
the ability to achieve the optimal structure may be impacted by market conditions and the actual position may often differ 
from the optimal position.

The Group’s capital position is primarily monitored through its ratio of total liabilities to total assets (“Leverage Ratio”), 
calculated on a look-through basis. The Group’s medium term strategy is to maintain the Leverage Ratio in the range of 45% 
- 55%. At 30 June 2014, the Leverage Ratio was 58.2%, compared to 62.0% at 30 June 2013, calculated as follows:

In addition, the Group monitors the ratio of debt to total assets (“Gearing Ratio”), calculated on a look-through basis. At 30 
June 2014, the Gearing Ratio was 30.7%, compared to 20.6% at 30 June 2013, calculated as follows:

27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Introduction
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits, receivables, payables, interest bearing 
liabilities, other financial liabilities, and derivative financial instruments.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Group manages its exposure to these risks primarily through its treasury policy. The policy sets out various 
targets aimed at restricting the financial risk taken by the Group. Management reviews actual positions of the Group against 
these targets on a regular basis. If the target is not achieved, or forecast not to be achieved, a plan of action is, where 
appropriate, put in place with the aim of meeting the target within an agreed timeframe. Depending on the circumstances 
of the Group at a point in time, it may be that positions outside of the treasury policy are accepted and no plan of action is 
put in place to meet the treasury targets, because, for example, the risks associated with bringing the Group into compliance 
outweigh the benefits. The adequacy of the treasury policy in addressing the risks arising from the Group’s financial 
instruments is reviewed on a regular basis. 

While the Group aims to meet its treasury policy targets, many factors influence its performance, and it is probable that 
at any one time it will not meet all its targets. For example, the Group may be unable to negotiate the extension of bank 
facilities sufficiently ahead of time, so that it fails to achieve its liquidity target. When refinancing loans it may be unable to 
achieve the desired maturity profile or the desired level of flexibility of financial covenants, because of the cost of such terms 
or their unavailability. Hedging instruments may not be available, or their cost may outweigh the benefit of risk reduction or 
they may introduce other risks such as mark to market valuation risk. Changes in market conditions may limit the Group’s 
ability to raise capital through the issue of new securities or sale of properties.

b. Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates arises primarily from its use of borrowings. The main 
consequence of adverse changes in market interest rates is higher interest costs, reducing the Group’s profit. In addition, one 
or more of the Group’s loan agreements may include minimum interest cover covenants. Higher interest costs resulting from 
increases in market interest rates may result in these covenants being breached, providing the lender the right to call in the 
loan or to increase the interest rate applied to the loan. 

The Group manages the risk of changes in market interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate 
borrowings. Fixed rate debt is achieved either through fixed rate debt funding or through derivative financial instruments 
permitted under the treasury policy. The policy sets minimum and maximum levels of fixed rate exposure over a ten-year 
time horizon.

At 30 June 2014, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 47% of the Group’s borrowings 
are at a fixed rate of interest (2013: 26%). 

Exposure to changes in market interest rates also arises from financial assets such as cash deposits and loan receivables 
subject to floating interest rate terms. Changes in market interest rates will also change the fair value of any interest rate 
hedges.

Other financial instruments of the Group not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not

d. Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
The impact of an increase or decrease in average interest rates of 1% (100 basis points) at reporting date, with all other 
variables held constant, is illustrated in the tables below. This analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence 
at balance sheet date. As the Group has no derivatives that meet the documentation requirements to qualify for hedge 
accounting, there would be no impact on securityholders interest (apart from the effect on profit).

i. Increase in average interest rates of 1%
The effect on net interest expense for one year would have been:

e. Foreign Exchange Risk
By holding properties in offshore markets, the Group is exposed to the risk of movements in foreign exchange rates. 
Foreign exchange rate movements may reduce the Australian dollar equivalent of the carrying value of the Group’s offshore 
properties, and may result in lower Australian dollar equivalent proceeds when an offshore property is sold. In addition, 
foreign exchange rate movements may reduce the Australian dollar equivalent of the earnings from the offshore properties 
while they are owned by the Group.

The Group reduces its exposure to the foreign exchange risk inherent in the carrying value of its offshore properties and 
interests in offshore investments by partly or wholly funding their acquisition using borrowings denominated in the particular 
offshore currency, and by using derivatives. The treasury policy sets a target for minimum and maximum hedging of the 
carrying value of its offshore properties.

The Group’s exposure to the impact of exchange rate movements on its earnings from its offshore properties is partly 
mitigated by the foreign denominated interest expense of its foreign denominated borrowings and any derivative hedges. 
The Group aims to reduce any residual exposure to its earnings arising because of its investment in offshore markets by 
using forward exchange contracts. The Treasury Policy sets out targets of minimum and maximum hedging of its earnings 
from offshore properties over a five-year time horizon.

f. Net Foreign Currency Exposure 
The Group’s net foreign currency monetary exposure, after taking into account the effect of foreign exchange derivatives, 
as at reporting date is shown in the following table. The net foreign currency exposure reported is of foreign currencies held 
by entities whose functional currency is the Australian dollar. It excludes assets and liabilities of entities, including equity 
accounted investments, whose functional currency is not the Australian dollar.

g. Foreign Exchange Sensitivity Analysis
The impact of an increase or decrease in average foreign exchange rates of 10% at reporting date, with all other variables 
held constant, is illustrated in the tables below. This analysis is based on the foreign exchange risk exposures in existence 
at balance sheet date. In these tables, the effect on securityholders interest excludes the effect on profit after tax.

The Group believes that the reporting date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in its financial 
instruments.

These tables do not show the effect on equity that would occur from the translation of the financial statements of foreign 
operations with a change in exchange rates.

h. Foreign Exchange Derivatives Held
Forward exchange contracts, options and foreign exchange swaps outstanding at reporting date are taken out to mitigate 
the effect of foreign exchange movements on the financial statements.

At balance sheet date, the Group did not hold any foreign exchange derivatives. There was no impact to the consolidated 
result for the year for the change in fair value for foreign exchange derivatives ended 30 June 2014 (2013: loss $9,000).

i. Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the 
Group. 

The major credit risk for the Group is default by tenants, resulting in a loss of rental income while a replacement tenant is 
secured and further loss if the rent level agreed with the replacement tenant is below that previously paid by the defaulting 
tenant.

The Group assesses the credit risk of prospective tenants, the credit risk of in-place tenants when acquiring properties and 
the credit risk of existing tenants renewing upon expiry of their leases. Factors taken into account when assessing credit risk 
include the financial strength of the prospective tenant and any form of security, for example a rental bond, to be provided. 

The decision to accept the credit risk associated with leasing space to a particular tenant is balanced against the risk of the 
potential financial loss of not leasing up vacant space.

Rent receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and arrears actively followed up in order to reduce, where 
possible, the extent of any losses should the tenant subsequently default.

The Group believes that its receivables that are neither past due nor impaired do not give rise to any significant credit risk.

Credit risk also arises from deposits placed with financial institutions and derivatives contracts that may have a positive value 
to the Group. The Group’s treasury policy sets target limits for credit risk exposure with financial institutions and minimum 
counterparty credit ratings. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity 
or economic entity to the Group, after allowing for appropriate set offs which are legally enforceable.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial instrument is its carrying 
amount as reported in the balance sheet.

27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

j. Liquidity Risk
The main objective of liquidity risk management is to reduce the risk that the Group does not have the resources available 
to meet its financial obligations and working capital and committed capital expenditure requirements. The Group’s treasury 
policy sets a target for the level of cash and available undrawn debt facilities to cover future committed capital expenditure 
in the next year, 75% of forecast net operating cash flow in the next year, six months estimated distributions and 5% of the 
value of resident loan liabilities. 

The Group may also be exposed to contingent liquidity risk under its term loan facilities, where term loan facilities include 
covenants which if breached give the lender the right to call in the loan, thereby accelerating a cash flow which otherwise 
was scheduled for the loan maturity. The Group monitors adherence to loan covenants on a regular basis, and the treasury 
policy sets targets based on the ability to withstand adverse market movements and remain within loan covenant limits.

In addition, the Group targets the following benchmarks to ensure resilience to breaking covenants on its primary debt 
facilities:

 –
 –

10% reduction in value of assets and 15% fall in the exchange rate for LVR covenants; and

2% nominal increase in interest rates combined with a 5% fall in income for ICR covenants.

The contractual maturities of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities at reporting date are reflected in the following 
table. It shows the undiscounted contractual cash flows required to discharge the liabilities at market rates. Foreign 
currencies have been converted at rates of exchange ruling at reporting date.

Although the expected average residency term is more than ten years, retirement village residents’ loans are classified as 
current liabilities, as required by Accounting Standards, because the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer 
settlement to more than twelve months after reporting date.

k. Other Financial Instrument Risk
The Group carries retirement village residents’ loans at fair value with resulting fair value adjustments recognised in the 
income statement. The fair value of these loans is dependent on market prices for the related retirement village units. 
The impact of an increase or decrease in these market prices of 10% at reporting date, with all other variables held constant, 
is shown in the table below. This analysis is based on the retirement village residents’ loans in existence at reporting date.

These effects are largely offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the Group’s investment properties. The effect 
on equity would be the same as the effect on profit.

l. Fair Value
The Group uses the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1:    fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2:   fair value is calculated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset 

or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

Level 3:   fair value is calculated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Quoted market price represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices on active markets as at the reporting date 
without any deduction for transaction costs. 

The following table presents the Group’s financial instruments that were measured and recognised at fair value at reporting 
date:

Financial assets/ 
financial liabilities

Valuation technique(s)  
and key inputs

Significant  
unobservable inputs

Relationship of unobservable 
inputs to fair value

Retirement village 
resident loans

Deferred 
management fee 
accrued

Loans measured as the ingoing 
resident’s contribution plus 
the resident’s share of capital 
appreciation to reporting date, 
less DMF accrued to reporting 
date.

DMF measured using the initial 
property price, estimated length 
of stay, various contract terms 
and projected property price at 
time of re-leasing.

Long-term capital appreciation 
rates for residential property 
between 0-4%.

Estimated length of stay of 
residents based on life tables.

Estimated length of stay of 
residents based on life tables.

The higher the appreciation, the 
higher the value of resident loans. 
The longer the length of stay, the 
lower the value of resident loans.

The longer the length of stay, the 
higher the DMF accrued, capped 
at a predetermined period of time.

Directors’ Declaration

for the year ended 30 June 2014

Annual Report 2014

85

In accordance with a resolution of the directors of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited, I state that:

1. 

In the opinion of the directors:

a. 

 the financial statements and notes of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited for the financial year ended 30 June 
2014 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

i. 

ii. 

 giving a true and fair view of its financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended 
on that date; and

 complying with Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and Corporations 
Regulations 2001; and

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014

The Ingenia Communities Fund (ARSN 107 459 576) 
and the Ingenia Communities Management Trust 
(ARSN 122 928 410) are Australian registered schemes. 
Ingenia Communities RE Limited (ACN 154 464 990; 
Australian Financial Services Licence number 415862), 
the Responsible Entity of both Trusts, is incorporated 
and domiciled in Australia.

The parent company of Ingenia Communities RE Limited 
is Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (the “Company”). 
The shares of the Company and the units of the Trusts are 
“stapled” and trade on the Australian Securities Exchange 
(“ASX”) as a single security. The Company and the Trusts 
along with their subsidiaries are collectively referred to as 
the Group in this report. 

The directors’ report is a combined directors’ report that 
covers both Trusts.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of ICF is investment in seniors 
living communities in Australia. The principal activities of 
ICMT are the development, management and operation 
of seniors living communities in Australia. There was no 
significant change in the nature of either Trust’s activities 
during the financial year.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

a. ICF and ICMT Overview
ICF and ICMT are two of the entities forming part of 
Ingenia Communities Group which is a triple stapled 
structure traded on the ASX. 

The Group’s vision is to be a leading Australian provider of 
affordable seniors living accommodation whilst delivering 
value to all its stakeholders, including strong earnings 
growth for securityholders and providing an affordable 
community environment for residents.

b. Strategy
The strategies of ICF and ICMT are aligned with the 
Group’s strategy of growing its Australian seniors living 
portfolio with a focus on the lifestyle parks sector. Using a 
disciplined investment framework, the Group is continuing 
to increase its exposure to lifestyle parks through targeted 
acquisitions and building out its development pipeline. The 
Group remains focused on divestment of its non-core New 
Zealand Students portfolio and reducing its investment 
in DMF assets. It is the Group’s intention to grow its 
investment in lifestyle parks through capital recycling, 
efficient inventory management and monetisation of stock.

c. FY14 Financial Results
FY14 has been a year of strong acquisitive growth. The 
results are underpinned by a significantly increased 
contribution from the Active Lifestyle Estates and Garden 
Villages portfolios following the acquisition of a further 
thirteen lifestyle parks and five rental villages during the 
year. Furthermore, ICMT and its subsidiaries formed a tax 
consolidation group which is the primary driver for the 
$6.5m income tax benefit recorded in ICMT.

During the year, the acquisition of numerous properties 
were funded using a mix of debt and equity raised from 
a June 2013 institutional placement of $21.2m and a 
September 2013 rights issue of $61.7m. 

d. Key Metrics
 – Net profit for the year of $15.4 million for ICF and a loss 

of $1.2 million for ICMT

 – Full year distribution of 1.15 cent per security by ICF, nil 

for ICMT

These results are reflective of execution of the strategy to 
divest overseas operations, which is now largely complete, 
and redeploy that capital into the Australian market to 
generate strong returns for securityholders.

e. Continuing Operations
The key strategic priorities of the continuing operations 
are:

 –

increase rate of new home delivery within the Active 
Lifestyle Estates development pipeline;

 – grow occupancy of the Garden Villages portfolio 

towards the mid-term target of 92%;

 –

 –

sell recently completed homes and explore opportunities 
to reduce exposure to the Settlers portfolio; and

invest available capital into further accretive lifestyle 
parks.

f. Discontinued Operations
A sales campaign was undertaken for the sale of the New 
Zealand Students portfolio and terms have been agreed 
with a global real estate investment firm. The carrying 
value of these assets at 30 June 2014 is $45.9m.

Annual Report 2014

91

b. Sale of Noyea
Settlement on the sale of Settlers Lifestyle Noyea was 
completed on 31 July 2014 at an adjusted sales price 
of $5.4 million resulting in $nil gain or loss recognised 
upon completion.

c. Bank Guarantee
On 1 July 2014, ICF obtained a bank guarantee 
of $10 million from the bank facility in relation to 
cash requirements under the Australian Financial 
Services Licence.

d. Sale of New Zealand Students Business
On 5 September 2014, the Trusts announced they had 
contracted to divest the New Zealand Students business 
for consideration of NZ$49.4 million, representing the book 
value at 30 June 2014. Upon settlement, disposal costs 
and a foreign currency translation reserve (“FCTR”) gain 
will be released through profit. At 30 June 2014, the FCTR 
balance was A$1.0 million.

e. Refinance of Australian Debt
ICF’s current Australian banking facility expires in 
September 2015. ICF has recently undertaken a debt 
refinance and obtained credit approval for a new 
$175 million Australian multilateral banking facility. 
This facility will be split between a three year and five 
year maturity profile.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
The Trusts will continue to pursue strategies aimed at 
improving cash earnings, profitability and market share 
within the seniors living industry during the next financial 
year, with a strong focus on the development and 
acquisition of manufactured home estates.

Other information about certain likely developments in 
the operations of the Trusts and the expected results of 
those operations in future financial years is included in the 
various reports in the Ingenia Communities Annual Report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Trusts’ operations are not subject to any particular 
and significant environmental regulation under a law of 
the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory.

INDEMNITIES
The Trusts have not indemnified, nor paid any insurance 
premiums for, a person who is or has been an officer of 
the Responsible Entity or an auditor of either Trust.

g. Capital Management
ICF strengthened its capital position by undertaking a 
capital raising and renegotiating its core debt facility. 

On 23 August 2013, ICF refinanced its Bank of New 
Zealand debt facility, which funds the New Zealand 
Students portfolio with a NZ$32.7m core debt facility in 
place expiring 31 July 2018.

On 17 October 2013, ICF completed a non-renounceable 
rights issue to raise $61.7m (excluding transaction costs) 
to fund the expansion of lifestyle parks. A total of 169.1m 
securities were issued at 36.5 cents each.

ICF has increased its full year distributions to 1.15 cents, 
in line with its commitment to grow distributions over 
the medium term. The final distribution represents a 30% 
increase over the previous period.

h. Outlook
The Trusts are well positioned to continue growing their 
lifestyle parks business and ICF has agreed indicative terms 
for a new multilateral Australian debt facility of $175m, 
which replaces the existing facility. Whilst the lead time 
from property acquisition to achieving set up for delivery 
of the first new homes has taken longer than anticipated, 
Ingenia is confident the rate of delivery and settlement 
of new homes will continue to slowly build each half and 
deliver a much stronger result in FY15.

There will be a strong focus on finalising divestment 
of the New Zealand Students portfolio and exploring 
opportunities for recycling capital from the Settlers 
Lifestyle portfolio. At the same time, the Trusts will 
continue to regularly assess the performance of its 
existing assets and where appropriate to recycle that 
capital into other opportunities delivering superior returns.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE 
OF AFFAIRS
Changes in the state of affairs during the financial 
year are set out in the various reports in this Annual 
Report. Refer to Note 7 of the accompanying financial 
statements for discontinued operations, Note 11 for 
Australian investment properties acquired or disposed 
of during the year, Note 14 for details of Australian debt

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. The Trusts
The Ingenia Communities Fund (“ICF” or the “Fund”) 
(ARSN 107 459 576) and the Ingenia Communities 
Management Trust (“ICMT”) (ARSN 122 928 410) 
(together the “Trusts”) are Australian registered schemes. 
Ingenia Communities RE Limited (ACN 154 464 990; 
Australian Financial Services Licence number 415862), 
the Responsible Entity of the Trusts, is incorporated and 
domiciled in Australia.

The parent company of Ingenia Communities RE Limited 
is Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (the “Company”). 
The shares of the Company and the units of the Trust are 
“stapled” and trade on the Australian Securities Exchange 
(“ASX”) as a single security. The Company and the Trust 
along with their subsidiaries are collectively referred to as 
the Group in this report.

The stapling structure will cease to operate on the first 
to occur of:

 –

 –

the Company or either of the Trusts resolving by 
special resolution in accordance with its constitution 
to terminate the stapling provisions; or

the commencement of the winding up of the Company 
or either of the Trusts.

b. Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards (“AASB”), Australian Interpretations, 
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (the “Board”) and the 
Corporations Act 2001.

As permitted by Class Order 05/642, issued by the 
Australian Securities and Investments Commission, this 
financial report is a combined financial report that presents 
the financial statements and accompanying notes of both 
the Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia Communities 
Management Trust. The financial statements and 
accompanying notes of the Trusts have been presented in 
the attached associated financial report.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting 
Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board and International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and 
all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars 
($’000) unless otherwise stated. 

The financial report is prepared on an historical cost 
basis, except for investment properties, retirement village 
residents’ loans and derivative financial instruments, 
which are measured at fair value. 

As at 30 June 2014, ICMT recorded a net current asset 
deficiency of $304,052,000. This deficiency includes 
retirement village resident loans of $190,122,000, 
liabilities from discontinued operations of $30,449,000 
and payables to other entities within the Group of 
$133,249,000. Resident loan obligations of the Trusts are 
classified as current liabilities due to the demand feature 
of these obligations despite the unlikely possibility that the 
majority of the loans will be settled within the next twelve 
months. Furthermore, if required, the proceeds from new 
resident loans could be used by the Group to settle its 
existing loan obligations should those incumbent residents 
vacate their units. Intercompany loan balances are payable 
on demand, however ICF has undertaken not to call its 
loan receivable from ICMT within twelve months of the 
date of this report, if calling the loan would result in ICMT 
being unable to pay its debts as and when they are due 
and payable.The liabilities of the discontinued operations 
consist mainly of borrowings of $30,081,000 related to 
a facility with the Bank of New Zealand, which has been 
refinanced recently for a five year period and will be repaid 
upon disposal of the corresponding assets. Accordingly, 
there are reasonable grounds to believe that ICMT will 
be able to pay its debts as and when they become due 
and payable; and the financial report of ICMT has been 
prepared on a going concern basis. 

c.  Adoption of New and Revised 

Accounting Standards

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised 
standards and interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its 
operations and effective for the current period. The 
following standards were most relevant to the Group:

 – AASB 10 ”Consolidated Financial Statements” and AASB 
2011-7 “Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from consolidation and Joint Arrangements 
standards”; 

 – AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and AASB 2011-8 
‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from AASB 13’;

 – AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ (2011) and AASB 2011-10 
‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from AASB 119 (2011);

 – AASB 2012-2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting 

Standards-Disclosures-Offsetting Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities’

 – AASB 2011-4 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards to Remove Individual Key Management 
Personnel Disclosure Requirements’

Annual Report 2014

101

The impact of application of each Standard is as follows:

Accounting Standard

Impact on the Group

AASB 10 and AASB 2011-7 AASB 10 amends the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee when 
a) it has power over an investee; b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement with the investee and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. 
All three conditions have to be met for an investor to have control.

The application of the standard did not have any impact on the Group. 

AASB 13 and AASB 2011-8 AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures 
about fair value. The standard is broad in scope and applies to both financial instrument and 
non-financial instrument items with the exception of a few items like share-based payments 
and leases, which are covered by other standards. AASB 13 defines fair value as the price that 
would be received to sell an asset or liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or the 
most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. 
Valuations made are categorised into three levels based on the inputs used. However, 
regardless of the valuation methodology applied, fair value represents the exit price in relation 
to the asset or liability. The standard applies prospectively from 1 January 2013.

The Group has applied requirements of the Standard in all its valuations in particular of 
investment properties. Additionally, the disclosure requirements of the standard, which 
includes information about assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions 
on fair value, have been complied with. 

AASB 119 and AASB 2011-10 AASB 119 amends the definition of short-term employee benefits, with the distinction now 

AASB 2012-2

being based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled within 12 months after 
reporting date (short-term benefit). Long term employee benefits are required to be measured 
using the actuarial valuation method. The method involves projecting future cash flows and 
discounting back to present value. This requirement applies to the annual leave balance for the 
Group. The application of the standard’s requirement for both current and previous periods did 
not result in amendment to the figures disclosed, as the changes were not material. 

The standard provides application and presentation guidance to AASB 132 ‘Financial 
Instruments: Presentation’ for applying some offsetting criteria. The Group has applied the 
requirements of the Standard, which necessitates disclosure of information about rights of 
offset and related arrangements for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting 
arrangement or similar arrangement. This has resulted in changes to disclosure principally for 
retirement village resident loans for the Group.

AASB 2011-4

The standard amends AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ to remove individual key 
management personnel disclosures required by Australian specific paragraphs. The application 
of the standard did not have any financial impact on the Group.

d. Principles of Consolidation
ICF’s consolidated financial statements comprise the parent and its subsidiaries. ICMT’s consolidated financial statements 
comprise ICMT and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) whose financial 
and operating policies a trust has the power to govern, so as to obtain benefits from their activities.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent, using consistent 
accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line dissimilar accounting policies. Inter-company balances and 
transactions including unrealised profits have been eliminated.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the parent obtains control. They are de-consolidated from the date 
that control ceases. 

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the parent’s financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued
for the year ended 30 June 2014

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

e. Business Combinations and Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the 
acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured 
as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, 
measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount 
of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each 
business combination, the Trusts elect whether it measures 
the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair 
value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are 
expensed and included in other expenses.

When the Trusts acquire a business, they assess the 
financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification and designation in accordance with the 
contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent 
conditions as at the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the 
acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held 
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at 
the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of 
the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the 
amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the 
net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 
If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the 
net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is 
recognised in profit or loss.

f. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
The Trusts have classified certain components as 
discontinued operations. A discontinued operation is a 
component of the entity that has been disposed of or is 
classified as held for sale and that represents a separate 
major line of business or geographical area of operations, 
or is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such 
a line of business or area of operations. The results of 
discontinued operations are presented separately on the 
face of the income statement. 

Components of the entity are classified as held for sale if 
their carrying amount will be recovered principally through 
a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. 
They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount 
and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as 
investment property, which are carried at fair value.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or 
subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) 
to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for 
any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell 
of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any 
cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain 
or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of 
the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at 
the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale, and the 
assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are 
presented separately from the other assets on the face 
of the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group 
classified as held for sale are presented separately from 
other liabilities on the face of the balance sheet.

Details of discontinued operations and assets held 
for sale are given at Note 7.

g. Distributions
A liability for any distribution declared on or before the end 
of the reporting period is recognised on the balance sheet 
in the reporting period to which the distribution pertains. 

h. Foreign Currency

i. Functional and presentation currencies
The functional currency and presentation currency 
of the Trusts and their subsidiaries, other than foreign 
subsidiaries, is the Australian dollar. 

ii. Translation of foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded in 
the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at 
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currency are retranslated at 
the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance date. All 
differences in the consolidated financial report are taken 
to the income statement with the exception of differences 
on foreign currency borrowings designated as a hedge 
against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken 
directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment at 
which time they are recognised in the income statement.

A non-monetary item that is measured at fair value in a 
foreign currency is translated using the exchange rates 
at the date when the fair value was determined.

iii.  Translation of financial statements of foreign 

subsidiaries

The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is not the 
Australian dollar. At reporting date, the assets and liabilities 
of these entities are translated into the presentation 
currency of the Trusts at the rate of exchange prevailing 
at balance date. Financial performance is translated at 
the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting 
period. The exchange differences arising on translation are 
taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve 
in equity.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative 
amount recognised in equity relating to that foreign 
operation is recognised in the income statement.

i. Leases
Finance leases, which transfer to the Trusts substantially 
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the 
leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at 
the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present 
value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are 
apportioned between the finance charges and reduction 
of the lease liability to achieve a constant rate of interest 
on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges 
are recognised as an expense in the income statement.

Finance leases, which transfer away from the Trusts 
substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to 
ownership of the leased item, are recognised at the 
inception of the lease. A finance lease receivable is 
recognised on inception at the present value of the 
minimum lease receipts. Finance lease receipts are 
apportioned between the interest income and reduction 
in the lease receivable to achieve a constant rate of interest 
on the remaining balance of the receivable. Interest is 
recognised as income in the income statement.

Annual Report 2014 103

l. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet and cash 
flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and 
short-term deposits that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of 
changes in value.

m. Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at 
fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method, less any provision 
for impairment. An allowance for impairment is made 
when there is objective evidence that collection of the 
full amount is no longer probable. 

n. Inventories 
The Trusts hold inventory in relation to the acquisition and 
development of manufactured homes within their Active 
Lifestyle Estates segment. 

Inventories are held at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value. 

Costs of inventories comprise all acquisition costs, costs 
of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the 
inventories to their present location and condition. 
Inventory includes work in progress and raw materials 
used in the production of manufactured home units.

Net realisable value is determined on the basis of an 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business 
less estimated costs of completion and the estimated 
costs necessary to make the sale. 

o. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Trusts use derivative financial instruments such 
as foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps 
to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency 
and interest rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial 
instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date 
in which the derivative contract is entered into and are 
subsequently remeasured to fair value.

Leases of properties that are classified as investment 
properties, are classified as finance leases under AASB 140 
Investment Properties. 

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks 
and benefits of ownership are classified as operating 
leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an 
expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis 
over the term of the lease.

j. Financial Assets and Liabilities
Current and non-current financial assets and liabilities 
within the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement are classified as at fair 
value through profit or loss; loans and receivables; held-
to-maturity investments; or as available-for-sale. The 
Trusts determine the classification of their financial assets 
and liabilities at initial recognition with the classification 
depending on the purpose for which the asset or liability 
was acquired or issued. Financial assets and liabilities are 
initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable 
transaction costs unless their classification is at fair value 
through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured 
at fair value or amortised cost using the effective interest 
method. Changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial 
assets are recorded directly in equity. Changes in fair 
values of financial assets and liabilities classified as at fair 
value through profit or loss are recorded in the income 
statement.

The fair values of financial instruments that are actively 
traded in organised financial markets are determined 
by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of 
business on the balance sheet date. For those with no 
active market, fair values are determined using valuation 
techniques. Such techniques include: using recent arm’s 
length market transactions; reference to the current market 
value of another instrument that is substantially the same; 
discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, 
making as much use of available and supportable market 
data as possible and keeping judgemental inputs to a 
minimum.

k. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Assets other than investment property and financial assets 
carried at fair value are tested for impairment whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment 
loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s 
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The 
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value 
less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of 
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest 
levels for which there are separately identifiable cash 
inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows 
from other assets or groups of assets. Non-financial assets 
excluding goodwill which have suffered impairment are 
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each 
reporting date.

for the year ended 30 June 2014(cid:13)|(cid:13)continued
for the year ended 30 June 2014

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

p. Investment Property
Land and buildings have the function of an investment 
and are regarded as composite assets. In accordance with 
applicable accounting standards, the buildings, including 
plant and equipment, are not depreciated.

Investment property includes property under construction 
and tourism cabins.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, 
including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, 
which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. 
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values 
of investment properties are included in the income 
statement in the period in which they arise, including 
corresponding tax effect. 

Fair value is 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 
in the principal market for the asset or liability or in its 
absence, the most advantageous market.

It is the Trusts’ policy to have all investment properties 
externally valued at intervals of not more than two years 
and that such valuation be reflected in the financial reports 
of the Trusts. It is the policy of the responsible trust to 
review the fair value of each investment property every six 
months and to cause investment properties to be revalued 
to fair values whenever their carrying value materially 
differs to their fair values.

In determining fair values, expected net cash flows 
are discounted to their present value using a market 
determined risk adjusted discount rate. The assessment 
of fair value of investment properties does not take into 
account potential capital gains tax assessable.

q. Payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and 
due to their short-term nature are not discounted. They 
represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the 
Trusts prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid 
and are recognised when the Trusts become obliged to 
make future payments in respect of the purchase of these 
goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are 
usually paid within 60 days of recognition.

r. Retirement Village Resident Loans
These loans, which are non-interest bearing and repayable 
on the departure of the resident, are classified as financial 
liabilities at fair value through profit and loss with resulting 
fair value adjustments recognised in the income statement. 
The fair value of the obligation is measured as the 
ingoing contribution plus the resident’s share of capital 
appreciation to reporting date. Although the expected 
average residency term is more than ten years, these 
obligations are classified as current liabilities, as required 
by Accounting Standards, because the Trusts do not have 
an unconditional right to defer settlement to more than 
twelve months after reporting date.

This liability is stated net of deferred management fee 
accrued to reporting date, because the Trusts contracts 
with residents require net settlement of those obligations.

Refer to Notes 25(k) and 1(y) for information regarding the 
valuation of retirement village resident loans.

s. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recorded at the fair value of 
the consideration received less directly attributable 
transaction costs associated with the borrowings. After 
initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method. Under this method fees, costs, discounts and 
premiums that are yield related are included as part of the 
carrying amount of the borrowing and amortised over its 
expected life.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless 
the Trusts do not have an unconditional right to 
defer settlement to more than twelve months after 
reporting date.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except 
where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of a qualifying asset. When this 
is the case, they are capitalised as part of the acquisition 
cost of that asset.

t. Issued Units
Issued and paid up units are recognised at the fair value of 
the consideration received by the Trusts. Any transaction 
costs arising on issue of ordinary units are recognised 
directly in unitholders’ interest as a reduction of the units 
proceeds received.

u. Revenue
Revenue from rents, interest and distributions is recognised 
to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits 
will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably 
measured. Revenue brought to account but not received at 
balance date is recognised as a receivable.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals 
are recognised as income in the financial year that they 
are earned. Fixed rental increases that do not represent 
direct compensation for underlying cost increases or 
capital expenditures are recognised on a straight-line basis 
until the next market review date. Rent paid in advance is 
recognised as unearned income.

Deferred management fee income is calculated as the 
expected fee to be earned on a residents ingoing loan, 
allocated pro-rata over the resident’s expected tenure, 
together with any share of capital appreciation that has 
occurred at reporting date.

Revenue from the sale of manufactured homes within the 
Active Lifestyle Estate segment is recognised when the 
significant risks, rewards of ownership and effective control 
has been transferred to the buyer. 

Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues using 
the effective interest rate method.

Annual Report 2014 105

v. Provisions, Including for Employee Benefits

i. General
Provisions are recognised when the Trusts have a 
present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of 
a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources 
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle 
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the 
amount of the obligation. When the Trusts expect some 
or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under 
an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised 
as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement 
is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision 
is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any 
reimbursement. 

ii. Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 
twelve months of the reporting date are recognised 
in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting 
date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-
accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is 
taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. 

iii. Long service leave 
The liability for long service leave is recognised and 
measured as the present value of expected future 
payments to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees up to the reporting date using the projected 
unit credit method. 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 national government bonds with terms 
to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

w. Income Tax

i. Current income tax
Under the current tax legislation, the Fund is not liable to 
pay Australian income tax provided that its taxable income 
(including any assessable capital gains) is fully distributed 
to unitholders each year. Tax allowances for building and 
fixtures depreciation are distributed to unitholders in the 
form of the tax-deferred component of distributions.

ii. Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax represents tax (including withholding 
tax) expected to be payable or recoverable by taxable 
entities on the differences between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial 
reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the 
year when the asset is realised through continuing use or 
the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that 
have been enacted or substantively enacted at reporting 
date. Income taxes related to items recognised directly in 
equity are recognised in equity and not against income.

x. Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)
Revenue, expenses and assets (with the exception of 
receivables) are recognised net of the amount of GST to 
the extent that the GST is recoverable from the taxation 
authority. Where GST is not recoverable, it is recognised as 
part of the cost of the acquisition, or as an expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. The 
net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the tax 
authority is included in the balance sheet as an asset or 
liability.

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

y. Fair Value Measurement
The Trusts measure financial instruments, such as, 
derivatives, and non-financial assets such as investment 
properties, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, 
fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised 
cost are disclosed in Note 26. 

Fair value is 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. 
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption 
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability 
takes place either: 

 –
 –

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or 

In the absence of a principal market, in the most 
advantageous market for the asset or liability. 

However, ICMT and its subsidiaries are subject to Australian 
income tax.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be 
accessible to the Trusts. 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current period are 
measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, 
or paid to, the taxation authorities based on the current 
period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used 
to compute the amount are those that are enacted or 
substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The subsidiaries that hold the Trusts foreign properties 
may be subject to corporate income tax and withholding 
tax in the countries in which they operate. Under 
current Australian income tax legislation, unitholders 
may be entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for this 
withholding tax.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using 
the assumptions that market participants would use 
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market 
participants act in their economic best interest. 

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes 
into account a market participant’s ability to generate 
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and 
best use or by selling it to another market participant that 
would use the asset in its highest and best use.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Trusts use valuation techniques that are appropriate 
in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are 
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of 
relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs. 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured 
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based 
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement as a whole: 

 –

 –

 –

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active 
markets for identical assets or liabilities 

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is 
directly or indirectly observable 

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is 
unobservable 

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial 
statements on a recurring basis, the Trusts determine 
whether transfers have occurred between Levels in 
the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on 
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement as a whole) at the end of the reporting 
period.

The Trusts’ Audit and Risk Committee determines the 
policies and procedures for both recurring fair value 
measurement, such as investment properties and resident 
loans and for non-recurring measurement. 

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant 
assets, such as properties and significant liabilities. 
Selection criteria include market knowledge, experience 
and qualifications, reputation, independence and whether 
professional standards are maintained. 

On a six monthly basis management presents valuation 
results to the Audit and Risk Committee and the 
Trusts’ auditors. This includes a discussion of the major 
assumptions used in the valuations. 

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Trusts have 
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of 
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability 
and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

z. Pending Accounting Standards
AASB 9 Financial Instruments is applicable to reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group 
has not early adopted this standard. This standard provides 
requirements for the classification and measurement of 
financial assets and accounting for financial liabilities. 
These requirements seek to improve and simplify the 
requirements listed in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement. The Group is currently 
evaluating the impact of this standard.

AASB 2012-3 “Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards- Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities” is 
applicable for annual financial periods beginning on or 
after 1 January 2014. The standard makes amendments 
to AASB 132 “Financial Instruments- Presentation” as a 
result of the issuance of International Financial Reporting 
Standard “Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial 
Liabilities” and provides application guidance to certain 
criteria mentioned in AASB 132. The application of the 
Standard does not have any impact on the results of the 
Group as retirement village resident loans are already 
offset as there is a current legally enforceable right and 
there is an intention to settle on a net basis.

AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards is applicable for periods beginning on or after 
1 July 2014. This standard clarifies that judgement is 
needed to determine whether an acquisition of investment 
property is solely the acquisition of an investment property 
or whether it is an acquisition of a group of assets or a 
business combination within the scope of AASB 3 Business 
Combinations that includes an investment property. The 
Trusts are currently making an assessment about this 
classification for each investment property acquired, 
therefore no impact is expected from this change except 
for additional disclosures regarding judgements and 
estimates.

Other new accounting standards, amendments to 
accounting standards and interpretations have been 
published that are not mandatory for the current reporting 
period. These are not expected to have any material impact 
on the Group’s financial reporting future reporting periods.

aa. Current versus Non-Current Classification
The Trusts present assets and liabilities in the balance sheet 
based on current/non-current classification. An asset is 
current when it is:

 – Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or 

consumed in the normal operating cycle

 – Held primarily for the purpose of trading
 – Expected to be realised within twelve months after the 

reporting period, or

 – Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being 

exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve 
months after reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is current when:

 –
 –
 –

It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle

It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

It is due to be settled within twelve months after the 
reporting period, or

 – There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of 
the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting 
period.

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-
current assets and liabilities.

2.  ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements requires the use 
of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the 
Responsible Entity to exercise its judgement in the process 
of applying the Trusts 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 below.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and 
are based on historical experience and other factors, 
including expectations of future events that are believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances.

a. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The Trusts make estimates and assumptions concerning 
the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by 
definition, will seldom equal the related actual results. The 
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

i. Valuation of investment property
The Trusts have investment properties with a combined 
carrying amount of $498,863,000 (2013: $370,931,000) 
(refer Note 11), and combined retirement village residents’ 
loans with a carrying amount of $190,122,000 (2013: 
$175,703,000) which together represent the estimated 
fair value of the Trusts interest in retirement villages. 
In addition, the Trusts hold investment properties with 
carrying amounts of $45,902,000 (2013: $35,343,000) 
which are included in assets of discontinued operations. 
These carrying amounts reflect certain assumptions about 
expected future rentals, rent-free periods, operating 
costs and appropriate discount and capitalisation rates. 
The valuation assumptions for deferred management fee 
villages reflect assumptions relating to average length of 
stay, unit market values, estimates of capital expenditure, 
contract terms with residents, discount rates and projected 
property growth rates. In forming these assumptions, 
the Responsible Entity considered information about 
current and recent sales activity, current market rents, and 
discount and capitalisation rates, for properties similar 
to those owned by the Trusts, as well as independent 
valuations of the Trusts’ property.

ii. Fair value of derivatives
The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities is based 
on assumptions of future events and involves significant 
estimates. Given the complex nature of these instruments 
and various assumptions that are used in calculating 
mark-to-market values, the Trusts rely on counterparty 
valuations for derivative values. The counterparty 
valuations are usually based on mid-market rates and 
calculated using the main variables including the forward 
market curve, time and volatility.

iii.  Valuation of assets acquired in business 

combinations

Upon recognising the acquisition, management uses 
estimations and assumptions of the fair value of assets 
and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, including 
judgements related to valuation of investment property as 
discussed above.

iv. Valuation of retirement village resident loans
The fair value of the retirement village resident loans is 
calculated by reference to the initial loan amount plus the 
resident’s share of any capital gains in accordance with 
their contracts less any deferred management fee income 
accrued to date by the operator. The key assumption for 
calculating the capital gain and deferred management 
fee income components is the value of the dwelling 
being occupied by the resident. This value is determined 
by reference to the valuation of investment property as 
referred to above.

v. Calculation of deferred management fee (“DMF”)
Deferred management fees are recognised by the Trusts 
over the estimated period of time the property will be 
leased by the resident and the accrued DMF is realised 
upon exit of the resident. The accrued DMF is based on 
various inputs including the initial price of the property, 
estimated length of stay of the resident, various contract 
terms and projected price of property at time of re-leasing.

b.  Critical Judgements in Applying the Entity’s 

Accounting Policies

There were no judgements, apart from those involving 
estimations, that management has made in the process 
of applying the entity’s accounting policies that had 
a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial report.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

a. Description of Segments
The Trusts invest in seniors living properties located in Australia with three reportable segments: 

 – Garden Villages – rental villages; 
 – Settlers Lifestyle – deferred management fee villages; and 
 – Active Lifestyle Estates – comprising permanent and short stay rentals within lifestyle parks and the sale of manufactured 

homes.  

The Trusts have identified their operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief 
operating decision maker in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.  Other parts of the Trusts 
are neither operating segments nor part of an operating segment.  Assets that do not belong to an operating segment are 
described below as “unallocated”.

c. Tax Consolidation
Effective from 1 July 2012, ICMT and its Australian domiciled owned subsidiaries formed a tax consolidation group with the 
ICMT being the head entity. Under the tax funding agreement the funding of tax within the tax group is based on taxable 
income as if that entity was not a member of the tax group. 

Upon entering into the ICMT tax consolidated group, the tax cost bases for certain assets were reset resulting in income tax 
benefits being recorded.  In addition, unrecognised losses incurred by entities within the ICMT tax consolidated group are 
now available for utilisation by the ICMT tax consolidated group resulting in an additional income tax benefit being recorded.

valuation (ie. the higher 
the occupancy, the 
greater the value).

Capitalisation has an 
inverse relationship to

Discount rate has an

Capitalisation Method
Under the capitalisation method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the expectation of future benefits. The 
capitalisation method involves estimating the expected income projections of the property into perpetuity and applying a 
capitalisation rate. The capitalisation rate is based on current market evidence. Future income projections take into account 
occupancy, rental income and operating expenses. 

Discounted Cash Flow Method
Under the discounted cash flow method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of 
ownership over the asset’s life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash 
flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the 
present value of the income stream associated with the asset.  The exit yield normally reflects the exit value expected to be 
achieved upon selling the asset and is a function of the risk adjusted returns of the asset and expected capitalisation growth 
rate. The duration of the cash flows and the specific timing of inflows and outflows are determined by events such as rent 
reviews, lease renewal and related re-letting, redevelopment, or refurbishment as well as the development of new units. The 
appropriate duration is typically driven by market behaviour that is a characteristic of the class of real property. Periodic 
cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less vacancy, non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease incentives, 
maintenance cost, agent and commission costs and other operating and management expenses. The series of periodic 
net underlying cash flows, along with an estimate of the terminal value anticipated at the end of the projection period, 
is then discounted.

14. BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)

a. Bank Debt
On 21 February 2014, ICF refinanced its Australian dollar denominated bank debt facility to $129,500,000. The facility 
expires on 30 September 2015 and has the following principal financial covenants:

Loan to value ratio (“LVR”) is less than or equal to 50%;

 –
 – Total leverage ratio does not exceed 50%; and
 –

Interest cover ratio (as defined) of at least 1.50x in financial year ending 2014 increasing to at least 1.75x in FY2015.

As at 30 June 2014, the facility has been drawn to $94,000,000 (2013: $68,000,000).

The carrying value of investment property net of resident liabilities at reporting date for the Group’s Australian properties 
pledged as security is $290,375,000 (2013: $179,320,000).

b. Bank Guarantees
ICF has the ability to utilise a portion of its $129.5 million bank facility to provide bank guarantees. Bank guarantees at 
30 June 2014 were $4.4 million. Refer to Note 23.

c. Finance Leases
Subsidiaries of ICMT have entered into agreements with subsidiaries of ICF. The subject of each agreement is to lease a 
retirement village.  The remaining term of each agreement varies between 92 and 115 years. There are no purchase options.

On 23 of April 2013, ICMT was assigned a commercial lease with 16.5 years remaining with the Gosford City Council for land 
and facilities as part of its Ettalong Holiday Beach acquisition. The lease is for an initial three years commencing September 
2012 with two renewal options of seven years each. The below table is based on the expectation that the lease options will

ii. Minimum Lease Payments – Perpetual Lease
The perpetual lease is recognised as investment property and non-current liability at a value of $1.1 million based on 
a capitalisation rate of 10.6% applied to the current lease payment. Payments each period in relation to the lease are 
recognised as finance expenses in the statement of comprehensive income therefore there is no subsequent change 
to the originally determined present value of the minimum lease payments as calculated above. 

As this is a perpetual lease, the lease liability will not amortise and no fair value adjustments in relation to the lease will 
be recognised unless circumstances of the lease change. Under the terms of the lease, lease payments will continue 
into perpetuity. The current annual lease payment is $121,000.

The availability of carried forward tax losses of $7.5 million to the ICMT tax consolidated group is subject to recoupment 
rules at the time of recoupment.  Further, the rate at which these losses can be utilised is determined by reference to market 
values at the time of tax consolidation and subsequent events.  Accordingly, a portion of these carried forward tax losses 
may not be available in the future.

The Group offsets tax assets and liabilities, if and only if, it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and 
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax 
authority.

c. Finance Lease Commitments
A subsidiary of ICMT was assigned a commercial lease with 16.5 years remaining with the Gosford City Council for land and 
facilities as part of its Ettalong Holiday Beach acquisition. The lease is for an initial three years commencing September 2012 
with two renewal options of seven years each.

In December 2013, a subsidiary of ICMT acquired One Mile Beach Holiday Park, accounted for as investment property.  
Two Crown leases are attached to the land, one for 40 years expiring on 19 September 2031 and one for perpetuity.

Refer to Note 14 for future minimum lease payments payable and the present value of minimum lease payments payable 
at reporting date for the finance leases at Ettalong Holiday Village and One Mile Beach Holiday Park.   

For commitments for inter-staple related party finance leases refer to Notes 9, 14 and 25. 

23. CONTINGENCIES
There are no known contingent liabilities other than the bank guarantees of $4.4 million provided for under the ICF 
$129.5 million bank facility (Note 14). Bank guarantees of $4.0 million are in relation to deferred land payments within ICMT 
recognised as non-current payables (refer to Note 13). These guarantees will not be called by the counterparty unless the 
payable is not paid per the terms of the agreement.

24. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The capital management of ICF and ICMT is not managed separately, but rather, is managed at a consolidated Group level 
(ICH and subsidiaries). 

At the Group level, the aim is to meet strategic objectives and operational needs and to maximise returns to security holders 
through the appropriate use of debt and equity, while taking account of the additional financial risks of higher debt levels. 

In determining the optimal capital structure, the Group takes into account a number of factors, including the views of 
investors and the market in general, the capital needs of its portfolio, the relative cost of debt versus equity, the execution 
risk of raising equity or debt, and the additional financial risks of debt including increased volatility of earnings due to 
exposure to interest rate movements, the liquidity risk of maturing debt facilities and the potential for acceleration prior 
to maturity. 

In assessing this risk, the Group takes into account the relative security of income flows, the predictability of expenses, debt 
profile, the degree of hedging and the overall level of debt as measured by gearing.

The actual capital structure at a point in time is the product of a number of factors, many of which are market driven and to 
various degrees outside of the control of the Group, particularly the impact of revaluations on gearing levels, the availability 
of new equity and the liquidity in real estate markets. While the Group periodically determines the optimal capital structure, 
the ability to achieve the optimal structure may be impacted by market conditions and the actual position may often differ 
from the optimal position.

The Group’s capital position is primarily monitored through the ratio of total liabilities to total assets (“Leverage Ratio”), 
calculated on a look-through basis. 

In addition, the Trusts monitor the ratio of debt to total assets (“Gearing Ratio”), calculated on a look through basis.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Introduction
The Trusts principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, interest bearing liabilities, other financial liabilities, 
cash and short-term deposits and derivative financial instruments.

The main risks arising from the Trusts’ financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Trusts manage the exposure to these risks primarily through the Treasury Policy. The policy sets out 
various targets aimed at restricting the financial risk taken by the Trusts. Management reviews actual positions of the Trusts 
against these targets on a regular basis. If the target is not achieved, or forecast not to be achieved, a plan of action is, where 
appropriate, put in place with the aim of meeting the target within an agreed timeframe. Depending on the circumstances 
of the Trusts at a point in time, it may be that positions outside of the Treasury Policy are accepted and no plan of action is 
put in place to meet the treasury targets, because, for example, the risks associated with bringing the Trusts into compliance 
outweigh the benefits. The adequacy of the Treasury Policy in addressing the risks arising from the Trust’s financial 
instruments is reviewed on a regular basis. 

While the Trusts aim to meet the Treasury Policy targets, many factors influence the performance, and it is probable that at 
any one time, not all targets will be met. For example, the Trusts may be unable to negotiate the extension of bank facilities 
sufficiently ahead of time, so that they fail to achieve their liquidity target. When refinancing loans they may be unable to 
achieve the desired maturity profile or the desired level of flexibility of financial covenants, because of the cost of such terms 
or their unavailability. Hedging instruments may not be available, or their cost may outweigh the benefit of risk reduction 
or they may introduce other risks such as mark to market valuation risk. Changes in market conditions may limit the Trusts 
ability to raise capital through the issue of units or sale of properties.

The main risks arising from ICMT’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk. These risks are not separately managed. Management of these risks for the ICF may result in consequential changes 
for ICMT.

b. Interest Rate Risk
The Trusts exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates arises primarily from its use of borrowings. The main 
consequence of adverse changes in market interest rates is higher interest costs, reducing the Trust’s profit. In addition, one 
or more of the Trust’s loan agreements may include minimum interest cover covenants. Higher interest costs resulting from 
increases in market interest rates may result in these covenants being breached, providing the lender the right to call in the 
loan or to increase the interest rate applied to the loan. 

The Trusts manage the risk of changes in market interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate 
borrowings. Fixed rate debt is achieved either through fixed rate debt funding or through derivative financial instruments 
permitted under the Treasury Policy. The policy sets minimum and maximum levels of fixed rate exposure over a ten-year 
time horizon.

At 30 June 2014, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 47% of ICF’s borrowings are at 
a fixed rate of interest (30 June 2013: 26%). 

Exposure to changes in market interest rates also arises from financial assets such as cash deposits and loan receivables 
subject to floating interest rate terms. Changes in market interest rates will also change the fair value of any interest 
rate hedges.

The impact of an increase or decrease in average interest rates of 1% (100 basis points) at reporting date, with all other 
variables held constant, is illustrated in the tables below. This analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence 
at balance sheet date. As the Trusts have no derivatives that meet the documentation requirements to qualify for hedge 
accounting, there would be no impact on unitholders’ interest (apart from the effect on profit).

e. Foreign Exchange Risk
By holding properties in offshore markets, the Trusts are exposed to the risk of movements in foreign exchange rates. 
Foreign exchange rate movements may reduce the Australian dollar equivalent of the carrying value of the Trusts offshore 
properties, and may result in lower Australian dollar equivalent proceeds when an offshore property is sold. In addition, 
foreign exchange rate movements may reduce the Australian dollar equivalent of the earnings from the offshore properties 
while they are owned by the Trusts.

The Trusts reduce exposure to the foreign exchange risk inherent in the carrying value of its offshore properties and 
interests in offshore investments by partly or wholly funding their acquisition using borrowings denominated in the particular 
offshore currency, and by using derivatives. The Treasury Policy sets a target for minimum and maximum hedging of the 
carrying value of its offshore properties.

The Trusts exposure to the impact of exchange rate movements on earnings from offshore properties is partly mitigated by 
the foreign denominated interest expense of its foreign denominated borrowings and any derivative hedges. The Trusts aim 
to reduce any residual exposure to earnings arising because of investment in offshore markets by using forward exchange 
contracts. The Treasury Policy sets out targets of minimum and maximum hedging of earnings from offshore properties over 
a five-year time horizon.

The Trusts net foreign currency monetary exposure, after taking into account the effect of foreign exchange derivatives, as 
at reporting date is shown in the following table. The net foreign currency exposure reported is of foreign currencies held 
by entities whose functional currency is the Australian dollar. It excludes assets and liabilities of entities, including the Trusts’ 
United States subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, whose functional currency is not the Australian dollar.

g. Foreign Exchange Derivatives Held
Forward exchange contracts, options and foreign exchange swaps are taken out to mitigate the effect of foreign exchange 
movements on the financial statements.

At balance sheet date, the Trusts did not hold any foreign exchange derivatives. There was no impact to the consolidated 
result for the year for the change in fair value for foreign exchange derivatives ended 30 June 2014 (2013: loss $9,000).

h. Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to 
the Trusts. 

The major credit risk for the Trusts is default by tenants, resulting in a loss of rental income while a replacement tenant 
is secured and further loss if the rent level agreed with the replacement tenant is below that previously paid by the 
defaulting tenant.

The Trusts assess the credit risk of prospective tenants, the credit risk of in-place tenants when acquiring properties and 
the credit risk of existing tenants renewing upon expiry of their leases. Factors taken into account when assessing credit risk 
include the financial strength of the prospective tenant and any form of security, for example a rental bond, to be provided. 

The decision to accept the credit risk associated with leasing space to a particular tenant is balanced against the risk of the 
potential financial loss of not leasing up vacant space.

Rent receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and arrears actively followed up in order to reduce, where 
possible, the extent of any losses should the tenant subsequently default.

The Responsible Entity believes that the Trust’s receivables that are neither past due nor impaired do not give rise to any 
significant credit risk.

Credit risk also arises from deposits placed with financial institutions and derivatives contracts that may have a positive value 
to the Trusts. The Trust’s Treasury Policy sets target limits for credit risk exposure with financial institutions and minimum 
counterparty credit ratings. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity 
or economic entity to the Trusts, after allowing for appropriate set offs which are legally enforceable.

The Trust’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial instrument is the carrying 
amount as reported in the balance sheet.

i. Liquidity Risk
The main objective of liquidity risk management is to reduce the risk that the Trusts do not have the resources available to 
meet their financial obligations and working capital and committed capital expenditure requirements. The Trust’s Treasury 
Policy sets a target for the level of cash and available undrawn debt facilities to cover future committed expenditure in the 
next year, loan maturities within the next year and an allowance for unforeseen events such as tenant default. 

The Trusts may also be exposed to contingent liquidity risk under term loan facilities, where term loan facilities include 
covenants which if breached give the lender the right to call in the loan, thereby accelerating a cash flow which otherwise 
was scheduled for the loan maturity. The Trusts monitor adherence to loan covenants on a regular basis, and the Treasury 
Policy sets targets based on the ability to withstand adverse market movements and remain within loan covenant limits.

The Trusts monitor the debt expiry profile and aims to achieve debt maturities below a target level of total committed debt 
facilities, where possible, to reduce refinance risk in any one year. 

The contractual maturities of the Trust’s non-derivative financial liabilities at reporting date are reflected in the following 
table. It shows the undiscounted contractual cash flows required to discharge the liabilities including interest at market rates. 
Foreign currencies have been converted at rates of exchange ruling at reporting date.

Although the expected average residency term is more than ten years, retirement village residents’ loans are classified as 
current liabilities, as required by Accounting Standards, because the Trusts do not have an unconditional right to defer 
settlement to more than twelve months after reporting date.

j. Other Financial Instrument Risk
The Trusts carry retirement village residents’ loans at fair value with resulting fair value adjustments recognised in the 
income statement. The fair value of these loans is dependent on market prices for the related retirement village units. The 
impact of an increase or decrease in these market prices of 10% at reporting date, with all other variables held constant, is 
shown in the table below. This analysis is based on the retirement village residents’ loans in existence at reporting date.

However, these effects are largely offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the Trusts’ investment properties.

The effect on unitholders’ interest would have been the same as the effect on profit.

k. Fair Value
The Trusts use the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1: 

Level 2: 

fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 fair value is calculated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

Level 3: 

fair value is calculated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Quoted market price represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices on active markets as at the reporting date 
without any deduction for transaction costs.

The following table presents the Trusts’ financial instruments that were measured and recognised at fair value at 
reporting date:

There has been no movement from Level 3 to Level 2 during the current period. Changes in ICMT’s retirement village 
resident loans which are level 3 instruments are presented in Note 26.

The carrying amounts of the Trusts’ other financial instruments approximate their fair values.

There were no holdings of the Responsible Entity and its related parties (including managed investment schemes for which a 
related party is the Responsible Entity) as at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013.

d. Other Related Party Transactions
Subsidiaries of ICMT have entered into agreements with subsidiaries of ICF for the leases of land that retirement villages are 
operated on. The remaining term of each agreement varies between 92 and 115 years. There are no purchase options. Rental 
villages have been classified as operating leases and DMF villages have been classified as finance leases.

Intercompany loans are subject to a loan deed dated 29 June 2012 encompassing ICH, ICF and ICMT and their respective 
subsidiaries. The deed stipulates that on the last business day of each month intercompany balances are set off within each 
of the ICH, ICF and ICMT sub-groups and the balances between ICH, ICF and ICMT incur interest at 8.5%pa. Intercompany 
loan balances are payable on demand, however ICF has undertaken not to call its loan receivable from ICMT within twelve 
months of the date of this report, if calling the loan would result in ICMT being unable to pay its debts as and when they are 
due and payable.

There are a number of other transactions and balances that occur between the Trusts, which are detailed below:
