Letter from 
the Chairman

We have established 
a strong platform 
for the future and 
are confident that 
Ingenia remains 
on track to continue 
to deliver long-term 
stable returns for 
securityholders

Jim Hazel, Chairman

Dear Securityholders
The last year has again been one of significant 
growth and achievement for Ingenia. We 
delivered growth in distributions as we 
continued to transition the business in line 
with our strategy to focus on cash yielding 
assets dominated by affordable seniors 
housing in Australia.

Pleasingly, we finished the 2015 financial 
year with significant progress on each of our 
objectives and we have seen an increasing 
contribution to returns from the now well 
established Lifestyle Parks business which 
Ingenia entered with an initial investment 
in 2013.

In December 2014 we completed our exit 
from offshore markets with the sale of 
the NZ Student portfolio. Combined with 
continued momentum in our Active Lifestyle 
Estates business, Ingenia is now a scalable 
business focused on stable cash yielding 
Australian investments complemented by 
low risk, capital light development. 

Over the last financial year an increase of 51% 
in underlying profit was achieved as newly 
acquired assets and the growing development 
business made a more substantial contribution. 
A full year distribution of 1.35 cents per 
security represented an increase of 17% on the 
prior year, building on similar growth in 2014.

Commensurate with our focus on building 
a significant portfolio of lifestyle and leisure 
assets, much time was spent on establishing 
our platform and building our development 
and sales capability in this new business. 
This investment has supported a significant 
increase in the contribution from manufactured 
home sales in the Lifestyle Parks business and 
positions the Group well for further growth in 
sales and rental returns.

Notwithstanding very strong price 
performance since internalisation, the security 
price closed the year at 43 cents, below the 
50.8 cent security price at the beginning of 
the 2015 financial year. Despite this, Ingenia’s 
returns over the past 3 and 5 years have 
been strong, with the Group significantly 
outperforming the ASX All Ordinaries 
Accumulation and S&P/ASX Property 300 
Accumulation indices. We will continue to 
focus on delivering results from the business 
and trust that over time the price will re-rate 
as our earnings grow and our business model 
becomes more established.

Securityholder Review 20153

We raised $89.1 million through a capital 
raising in September, which provided 
additional funds for investment in the 
Lifestyle Parks business and allowed existing 
securityholders to participate in Ingenia’s 
growth. We have carefully deployed this 
capital and the capital from the sale of non-
core assets in accretive acquisitions with five 
Lifestyle Parks acquired over the year and an 
additional two acquisitions following year end.

With work done during the year to secure 
an increase in funding capacity at a lower 
debt cost, a focus on recycling capital from 
the non-core Deferred Management Fee 
(Settlers) portfolio and the active Distribution 
Reinvestment Plan, we will continue to pursue 
growth opportunities which meet our strict 
return requirements.

Importantly, we have made good progress on 
key initiatives and priorities. Further scale has 
been established in the lifestyle parks sector 
and operationally these and our rental assets 
are performing well, with the rental portfolio 
achieving occupancy of over 90%. Both the 
Garden Villages and Active Lifestyle Estates 
portfolios demonstrated significant valuation 
gains with capitalisation rates across these 
asset classes beginning to tighten, leading 
to higher values for these assets.

Striking the balance between returns to 
securityholders and reinvestment for growth 
continued to be a focus of the Board and 
management. Following a 15% increase in 
distributions in financial year 2014, distributions 
were again increased, with a final distribution 
payment for financial year 2015 of 0.70 cents 
per security taking the full year distribution to 
1.35 cents. We are committed to continuing to 
grow distributions while maximising value to 
securityholders through prudent reinvestment 
into accretive investments to deliver ongoing 
growth in returns.

The Group strategy remains driving 
performance and organic growth within 
existing assets and seeking to continue 
to expand in the Lifestyle Parks business 
through acquisitions and development in 
targeted markets.

Much has been achieved this year and I would 
like to thank Ingenia’s dedicated directors and 
the management team for their hard work 
and ongoing commitment.

Chief Executive 
Officer Update

We have rapidly 
transformed Ingenia’s 
business model into 
an emerging high 
growth asset class 
with strong long-term 
industry fundamentals 
underpinned by a 
convergence of an 
ageing population and 
the demand for quality 
affordable housing

Simon Owen, Managing Director and CEO

The 2015 financial year represented a 
significant year of achievement for the 
business as we continued to deliver on our 
strategy – further expanding our Australian 
Lifestyle Parks business, divesting non-core 
assets and continuing to extract performance 
from the existing asset base to deliver stronger 
returns for investors. 

We also completed our first development in 
the Lifestyle Parks business, achieved our sales 
target in this business and most importantly 
began to see the benefits of our strategy with 
growth in distributions as we consolidated 
Ingenia’s position as a provider of quality, 
affordable seniors accommodation.

Financial performance
Reflecting the transition of the business in 
line with Ingenia’s strategy, the 2015 financial 
results demonstrate significant growth from 
Ingenia’s Australian portfolios through a 
revenue base dominated by stable rental 
cashflows complemented by increasing 
development returns. 

There was a significant increase in revenue 
from the Lifestyle Parks business as a result of 
recent acquisitions and emerging development 
profits from an expanded portfolio.

Overall, the Group reported a Statutory Profit 
of $25.7 million (up 123% on the 2014 result), 
reflecting improved operational performance 
and strong increases in valuations across the 
Garden Villages and Active Lifestyle Estates 
rental portfolios. 

Underlying profit of $17.5 million was up 51% 
on the prior comparative period, driven by 
growth in the core business as rental cashflow 
increases were generated from the Garden 
Village and Lifestyle Parks assets.

Operating cashflow for the year of 
$9.0 million was down on the prior year due 
to the establishment of new home inventory 
throughout an increasing number of lifestyle 
parks under development. At 30 June 2015 the 
Group had new manufactured home inventory 
of $7.3 million comprising 45 completed 
homes. A further 44 homes were under 
construction. The majority of these homes 
have since either been deposited or settled.

Net Asset Value per security (NAV) increased 
by 10%, to 38.9 cents. 

Securityholder Review 20155

Capital management
Active capital management continues to be 
a key priority for the Board and management 
and we are committed to divesting the 
remaining non-core assets in the DMF 
portfolio to provide additional capital for 
on strategy growth. 

Significant growth in the Lifestyle Parks 
portfolio was funded via capital recycling from 
divested assets, the proceeds of a successful 
$89.1 million capital raising and debt.

At 30 June 2015, Ingenia’s LVR of 22.6% 
was below the Group’s target range of 30-
35% and well below the Group’s covenant of 
50%. Following completion of the recent and 
pending Lifestyle Park acquisitions, Ingenia’s 
LVR is expected to move towards the lower 
end of the Group’s target range of 30-35%.

Consistent with our focus on maintaining 
funding capacity to support future growth, 
a new finance arrangement was put in place 
during the year. This facility provides increased 
capacity, greater lender diversity, and 
improved pricing. Following the establishment 
of this facility, Ingenia’s current all in cost of 
debt is 4.6%. 

Balancing capital return and reinvestment 
in growth
The Board and management recognise 
the importance of maximising returns to 
securityholders while maintaining the ability 
to secure opportunities for future growth.

Following an increase in distributions of 15% 
in the 2014 financial year, distributions again 
increased, to 1.35 cents for the year. This 
represented a 17% increase on the prior year’s 
distribution and a 63% payout ratio.

A disciplined approach to investment will 
continue to underpin our capital allocation 
strategy as we focus on delivering on the 
Group’s strategy and expanding Ingenia’s 
presence in the Lifestyle Parks sector 
through further acquisition and development.

Highlights
We have rapidly transformed Ingenia’s 
business model, removing exposure to offshore 
assets and transitioning the business into an 
emerging high growth asset class with strong 
long-term industry fundamentals underpinned 
by a convergence of an ageing population and 
the demand for quality affordable housing. 

Portfolio remixing
We finalised our exit from offshore investments 
with the sale of the NZ Student portfolio in 
December 2014 and sold additional non-core 
assets from our Settlers and Garden Villages 
portfolios during the year. Consistent with our 
focus on deploying capital to deliver most 
value to investors, the sale of these assets 
released additional capital which has been 
deployed into Lifestyle Park assets. 

We have continued to access off market 
acquisitions in the increasingly competitive 
lifestyle parks market, driven by our internal 
team and unique research database. 

Over the year Ingenia invested an additional 
$71.1 million in Lifestyle Parks, acquiring a 
further five assets and adding close to 1,400 
income generating sites and almost 190 
approved development sites to support future 
sales growth. We are committed to the sale 
of the DMF portfolio which will finalise the 
Group’s transition to a portfolio comprised 
of yield based assets.

These recently acquired Parks have been acquired

continued

This acquisition strategy has seen Lifestyle 
Parks rapidly becoming the key earnings 
driver across the Group. 

There were a further two acquisitions following year 
end and the acquisition pipeline remains strong. 
Bethania, a partially developed manufactured 
home community outside Brisbane, settled in July 
2015. We have also secured the right to acquire 
an additional 7.1 hectares of land adjacent to 
this community, providing potential for further 
expansion. Conjola Lakeside, a prime waterfront 
coastal park, which will seed a new Southern NSW 
cluster, was acquired for $24 million and settled 
in September 2015. 

Portfolio performance
We have continued to drive improvements in 
operating performance from our existing assets 
over the year with each portfolio delivering 
improved performance. 

Across Ingenia’s Garden Villages, like for like 
occupancy increased by 2.8% over the year, with 
rent increases also achieved. These villages provide 
a high quality recurrent stream of cash earnings 
which underpin our balance sheet and cashflows. 
The portfolio also demonstrated strong growth in 
valuations with an uplift of $15.9 million as a result 
of strong portfolio management, rent growth and 
capitalisation rate compression. 

Across the Settlers Villages, a strong uplift in 
Deferred Management Fee accruals driven by 
rising prices in Western Australian assets was 
offset by moderating development income as the 
development and conversion program, which has 
delivered significant value since commencement, 
nears completion.

Ingenia’s main focus is the growth of the Lifestyle 
Parks business, and development currently 
underway at eight assets. The portfolio continued 
to expand with the first acquisitions in Queensland 
extending our presence into a new market. The 
lifestyle parks market is attractive due to its strong 
recurrent cash earnings, low risk and capital 
light development returns, low level of industry 
consolidation, and above all its affordability focus. 

The Lifestyle Parks portfolio continued to build 
returns with rental revenue of $19.8 million in 
financial year 2015 reflecting significant growth 
in sites through acquisition and development. 
The portfolio’s EBIT contribution of $8.4 million 
was up over 110% on the prior year, driven by 
a growing rental revenue base and increasing 
development profits. 

Active Lifestyle Estates, Ettalong Beach – Community Centre

The Active Lifestyle Estates Portfolio value 
of $204.2 million at 30 June 2015, reflected 
additional acquisitions and the impact of a 
compression in capitalisation rates on values. 

Development
The Group continued to invest in internal capability 
across the digital platform, asset and portfolio 
branding and the development and sales platform 
over the year. 

Significant progress was made in development, 
with works undertaken at six sites over the year 
and growth secured through acquisitions and 
additional development consents. The development 
pipeline now consists of 1,500 potential sites with 
an estimated end sales value of over $350 million.

Ingenia completed the first of the Group’s Lifestyle 
Park developments during the year, with the 
conversion of the Ettalong Beach community from 
a mixed use (tourism and permanent living) to 
pure permanent living community. 

Securityholder Review 20157

Recently acquired Conjola Lakeside (Lake Conjola, NSW)

Along with sales at Lake Macquarie and Stoney 
Creek, Ettalong was a key contributor to the 
100 sales achieved over the year, with 56 
settlements to 30 June 2015 contributing to a 
development profit of $5.7 million. New projects 
to launch at Chain Valley Bay, Chambers Pines 
and Bethania in the 2016 financial year will 
support future sales growth.

Outlook
Ingenia is well placed to continue to grow and 
to build its return profile as we capitalise on 
the demand for affordable seniors housing 
and our leading position in the Lifestyle Parks 
sector, which remains our focus for expansion. 
With additional assets being assessed in 
line with Ingenia’s focus on quality parks in 
key metropolitan and coastal markets and a 
development pipeline of 1,500 potential sites 
we remain confident of continued growth 
from this portfolio. The potential to release 
additional capital for investment through the 
planned divestment of the DMF portfolio will 
assist in funding this growth.

Over the last year we have continued to 
build our platform to position the business 
for growth. 

With supply secured and sales strategies in 
place, we expect the rate of home delivery and 
sales to continue to build in FY16, contributing 
to future growth in returns. This, combined 
with the integration of quality acquisitions and 
amortisation of our cost base across a larger 
operational platform, is anticipated to improve 
earnings growth. 

In closing, I would like to thank the Board for 
their support and our management team and 
all employees for their continuing commitment 
and contribution to the business.

The remainder of this Review contains greater 
detail on Ingenia’s business activities and 
individual portfolios.

Ingenia entered the Lifestyle 
Parks sector in March 2013, 
with an initial investment 
in The Grange, a lifestyle 
park located on the NSW 
Central Coast. 

The Lifestyle Parks portfolio 
provides exposure to a growing 
demand from Australia’s ageing 
population through the provision 
of affordable age-appropriate 
housing. The portfolio is 
dominated by stable cashflows 
from short and long-term rental 
income. Community expansion 
and redevelopment provides 
additional capital light, low risk 
development earnings. Offering 
a cash yielding affordable 
accommodation segment within 
the Australian seniors living 

sector, Lifestyle Parks also 
offer the opportunity for 
highly accretive development 
with limited risk and a modest 
capital outlay. 

Since entering the sector the 
Group has used its proprietary 
database and in house 
acquisitions team to establish 
a portfolio which includes 22 
assets located largely in coastal 
and metropolitan locations 
across NSW and Queensland. 
Rental revenue from the 
portfolio was $19.8 million in 
the 2015 financial year, up from 
$9.6 million the prior year. The 
portfolio’s EBIT contribution of 
$8.4 million, was up over 110% on 
FY14, driven by a growing rental 
revenue base and increasing 
development profits.

The core of this portfolio 
is permanent site revenue 
generated from residents which 
is supported by government 
pension and rental assistance. 
This stable cashflow is 
now generated from over 
1,500 sites across Ingenia’s 
growing portfolio. 

In addition to strong rental 
cashflows from permanent 
homes the portfolio also 
provides exposure to tourism 
and to attractive development 
returns through development 
sites within existing parks. 

The ongoing growth of this 
portfolio through acquisition 
and development is at the 
core of Ingenia’s strategy 
and will contribute to growing 
securityholder returns.

A number of Ingenia’s 
Lifestyle Parks contain 
tourism and short-term 
accommodation. This 
accommodation includes 
tourism villas, cabins, 
caravan and camping 
sites which target the 
affordable tourism market, 
are attractive to grey 
nomads and families and 
are located in a range of 
attractive locations. 

In addition to regional areas such 
as Mudgee and metropolitan 
locations such as Dural (Sydney), 
Ingenia owns a number of iconic 
coastal parks which generate 
compelling returns.

While a number of tourism sites 
will be converted to permanent 
home sites through development, 
short-term accommodation 
provides a number of benefits 
to the portfolio, including:

 — Diversifying and 

increasing cashflows

 — Providing potential residents 
with their first exposure to an 
Ingenia community and the 
manufactured home estate 
(lifestyle parks) model

 — Access to Australia’s growing 
grey nomad caravanning 
market

 — Generating cashflows pending 

development

 — Significant cross selling 
opportunities (through 
resident discounts at Ingenia’s 
holiday parks and the ability 
to market permanent homes 
to visitors).

Short-term sites are managed 
as a complementary business 
where they represent the highest 
and best use of land and are 
beginning to generate growing 
returns as Ingenia’s scale in this 
market increases and with it the 
ability to leverage the Group’s 
brand and marketing platform. 

A key focus has been investing 
in a digital platform which is 
beginning to generate benefits 
through increased revenues and 
rates. Ingenia also introduced 
an Investor Discount card and 
has progressed a range of cross 
selling opportunities, including 
a Resident Gold Card. Over the 
year, partnerships with online 
travel agents have also been 
extended, and bookings through 
these agents are now providing 
over $100,000 in revenue 
monthly.

As further initiatives are 
implemented and Ingenia’s brand 
and marketing gain further 
recognition, ongoing growth in 
returns from short-term sites 
are anticipated.

PARK DEVELOPMENT

Development provides the opportunity to improve returns 
through the sale of new homes, expand cash yields through 
additional future rent roll, and improve the amenity of existing 
communities as new, high quality homes are delivered.

A key focus for management 
is the build out of the 
accretive development 
pipeline embedded within 
Ingenia’s existing Lifestyle 
Parks. The development 
pipeline offers attractive 
returns while growing 
permanent rental income. 

The pipeline has been extended 
with recent acquisitions and 
now represents 1,500 potential 
development sites with a 
potential end sales value of over 
$350 million, providing Ingenia 
with significant organic growth 
as projects are approved and 
developments commenced. 

Significant progress was 
made in development over the 
past year. Ingenia completed 
its first development and 
invested in development and 
sales capabilities to support 
accelerated growth and sales as 
new projects were launched.

The Portfolio delivered 
development profit of 
$5.7 million, with 56 settlements 
totalling $16.4 million of revenue 
and is well placed to continue 
to grow this contribution. These 
settlements were largely at 
Ingenia’s Ettalong Beach and 
Lake Macquarie projects on the 
NSW Central Coast and Stoney 
Creek in Marsden Park (Sydney).

With Ettalong Beach sold out, 
strong sales at Lake Macquarie 
and ongoing demand at Stoney 

Creek will contribute to sales in 
the coming year, supplemented 
by the launch of Ingenia’s first 
Queensland projects (Bethania 
and Chambers Pines). 

Customer research and 
efficiencies are contributing 
to product evolution targeting 
increased market penetration 
and sales growth.

Based on current contracts in 
place and the level of interest in 
new projects to be launched, 120 
sales (either reserved, contracted 
or settled) are forecast for the 
current financial year.

Development earnings are 
anticipated to grow in the 
coming year as projects are 
launched and targeted sales 
achieved.

Profit in excess of total spend 

With an average price for new 
homes of $320,000 and land 
lease rent of $165 per week, 
the completed development 
is forecast to deliver ~10% yield 
and an unlevered internal rate 
of return of ~19%.

The end result is not only 
a financially successful 
development but a vibrant new 
community which includes a 
community centre and library, a 
new pool and is home to many 
happy residents.

Ettalong Beach Holiday 
Village, located at Ettalong 
Beach in NSW, was Ingenia’s 
second lifestyle park 
investment. 

Acquired in April 2013, Ettalong 
Beach was a mixed use 
community with dated facilities 
consisting of 85 permanent 
homes and 29 tourism sites 
(including 22 cabins and 
7 powered sites).

Ingenia acquired this leasehold 
community for $2.1 million.

On acquisition Ingenia identified 
the opportunity to capitalise on 
the attractive beachside location 
and proximity to services by 
repositioning the village as an 
over 50s estate. This would 
be achieved by converting the 
tourism offering and utilising 
vacant land.

A Development Application 
(DA) was lodged in March 2014 
and approval for 31 new home 
sites was received in June 2014. 
Tourism was progressively 
removed from August 2014 
and development commenced 
in September that year. 

The first homes were delivered 
to site in November 2014 with 
initial settlements occurring the 
following month. All homes were 
sold in 7 months of the project’s 
launch with the final settlements 
complete in August 2015. 
With homes sold off the plan 
at prices above expectations, 
strong development profits 
were achieved and the return 
from the development exceeded 
Ingenia’s total spend.

Garden Villages

Ingenia is the largest owner/operator of

This portfolio provides stable recurring

The Garden Villages 
portfolio consists of 31 rental 
communities with over 1,600 
units across Australia. 

The portfolio was remixed 
during the year and operating 
metrics improved with the sale 
of three non-core villages in 
regional NSW and Victorian 
locations. The villages were sold 
in June at a premium to Ingenia’s 
December 2014 book value.

Over the year portfolio 
occupancy increased to close 
the year at an all time high of 
90.7%. This occupancy increase, 
combined with rent growth 
and margin enhancement, 
contributed to increased revenue 
from the portfolio, to $28.2 
million (up from $24.6 million 
in 2014). 

The benefit of improved 
occupancy and operating 
performance across a number 
of assets was also reflected 
in increased asset values. 

The portfolio benefitted from 
movement in capitalisation rates 
as the value of stable cashflows 
delivered from rental based 
seniors assets began to gain 
greater market recognition.

Across the Garden Villages 
portfolio engaging residents and 
contributing to their health and 
wellbeing has continued to be a 
key element of Ingenia’s service 
and value proposition. 

In its fourth year of operation, 
the resident engagement 
program, ‘Activate 2015’, 
continued to build on the sense 
of community in the Villages, 
offering a range of social events 
as well as services to promote 
resident health, including eye 
and hearing checks, talks on 
men’s and women’s health and 
maintaining an active brain.

Complementing this focus, 
‘Ingenia Care Assist’, a free 
service that acts as a ‘care 
concierge’, to assist residents 
find a pathway through the 
maze of accessing care, was 
launched in October 2013.

Ingenia Care Assist extends 
Ingenia’s commitment to resident 
health and well being, enabling 
residents to access primary 
health services, social support, 
transport and allied health 
services, assisting them to age in 
place while extending the tenure 
of residents across the villages. 

The Care Assist service also 
assists residents, many of whom 
have little family support, to 
prepare Powers of Attorney 
and Advanced Care Directives. 
For residents with complex 
histories or where one partner 
is caring for the other the Care 
Assist service ensures that these 
residents are well supported 
socially and health wise to live 
a good quality life.

Through referrals and regular 
dialogue the program is 
increasing the awareness of 
health professionals to the 
benefits of Garden Villages 
for seniors needing supported 
accommodation as a rental 
alternative to assisted living 
apartments and residential 
care. These professionals are 
increasingly referring residents 
to Ingenia’s villages.

Commencing in four villages, 
the program is operating across 
all 31 Garden Villages and has 
now been extended to selected 
communities within the Active 
Lifestyle Estates portfolio. 

With occupancy growing across 
the portfolio, the key focus will 
be on growing rents above the 
pension/CPI. Combined with an 
ongoing focus on community 
engagement, operational 
efficiencies and the growing 
benefit of Ingenia Care Assist, 
the portfolio is positioned well to 
continue to improve occupancy 
towards the target of 93% 
and grow earnings in the 2016 
financial year.

Despite this, the portfolio 
has started 2016 well with an 
additional 27 contracts in place 
at 30 June 2015.

The sale of Settlers Lifestyle 
Noyea Park settled in July 2014, 
providing net proceeds of 
$5.4 million for reinvestment 
in the higher yielding Lifestyle 
Parks portfolio.

Growth from the portfolio 
is anticipated to moderate, 
as developments and the 
conversion program are largely 
complete. Ingenia will seek to 
divest these assets over time, 
in line with the Group’s strategy 
to focus on cash yielding 
rental assets.

The Settlers Lifestyle 
portfolio consists of eight 
Deferred Management Fee 
(DMF) communities with 
over 830 homes across WA, 
QLD and NSW. 

An increase in accrued deferred 
management fee income as a 
result of rising prices in Ingenia’s 
Western Australian Villages 
contributed to a strong result 
for the year.

Development profits across 
the portfolio were down on 
the prior year as stock levels 
have reduced, reflecting the 
completion of developments 
and remaining 1 bedroom and 
studio stock. With the conversion 
program (which has seen the sale 
of 192 converted units for over 
$34 million over the past four 
and a half years) also nearing 
completion, development profits 
will continue to moderate.

Maggie Arnold
General Manager  
Village Operations,  
Swan View Gardens

What is your role within 
Ingenia, and how long have 
you worked for the Group?
My role is Village Manager at 
Swan View Gardens. Swan View 
is Ingenia’s largest village in 
Western Australia with 72 units, 
in a busy suburb not far from the 
Perth Airport.

How long have you 
worked for the Group?
I have been Village Manager 
at Swan View Gardens for 
over nine years and have been 
with Ingenia since the Group 
acquired the Village.

How has your 
career progressed?
Before we came to Swan View 
Gardens my husband Keith 
(our Village Cook) and I had 
been self employed, which 
was really stressful.

Over our years with Ingenia we 
have seen many changes which 
have improved the lives and 
experiences of residents. It’s 
been interesting watching the 
way in which the villages are 
managed now and the changes 
are for the better. For example 
it’s easier to get things done, 
such as approvals for repairs 
and the units being upgraded. 
These really add to residents’ 
satisfaction.

What is the most rewarding 
part of your role?
I like working with people, you 
have to in this industry and this 
role. I enjoy the residents – they 
have a lot to teach us and it is 
great to see them engaged and 
enjoying themselves.

The Activate program is 
wonderful – I wish I’d had a video 
camera to record the ladies 
playing croquet recently – they 
laughed and laughed.

What is the hardest part 
of your role?
Saying goodbye to residents who 
have been in the Village for many 
years if they really have to go to 
Higher Care.

Where do you see 
yourself in five years?
I would like to think I’ll still be 
doing the same job for many 
years yet, as I really enjoy 
directly working with so many 
wonderful residents.

Tell us a fun fact about 
yourself that we’ll never guess?
When I was 20 I played 
Netball for the New Zealand 
National team for two years, 
although my past-times now 
are more leisurely - watching 
my grandchildren grow up 
and reading a good book with 
a glass of red!

Melanie Matthias
Contracts Administrator

What is your role 
within Ingenia?
My role with Ingenia is 
Contracts Administrator. 
In addition, I oversee the 
Call Centre where we receive 
enquiries across the three 
portfolios (Active Lifestyle 
Estates, Settlers and 
Garden Villages).

How long have you 
worked for the Group?
I have been with Ingenia 
for six years.

What attracted you to 
your role? And Ingenia?
I commenced work with the 
business in a Customer Service 
role. The role involved being 
the first point of contact 
for enquiries for the Garden 
Villages brand, distributing and 
managing leads for the business 
and supporting the marketing 
department. The majority of my 
day was spent listening to the 
needs of seniors and explaining 
the benefits of renting in our 
retirement communities.

What interests you 
about retirement?
When I tell my friends the 
Retirement sector is an 
exciting industry I usually get 
some strange looks. Working 
in this industry is extremely 
rewarding, especially when 
residents declare they love their 
village and wish they made the 
move so much sooner.

How has your 
career progressed?
With the introduction of 
Retirement Villages and 
Residential Parks to the 
portfolio, the role of Contracts 
Administration for me was a 
natural progression. The role 
requires a solid understanding 
of legislation across the 
different states and Acts.

What’s the most rewarding 
part of your role?
The most rewarding part of 
my job is being able to support 
our sales team and also present 
to our clients the offer of a 
quality lifestyle, no matter which 
type of community they choose 
to live in.

Where do you see yourself 
in five years?
I see myself continuing to work 
in the retirement sector in five 
years with Ingenia and look 
forward to being able to make a 
positive mark on the way seniors 
spend their retirement years.

Tell us a fun fact 
about yourself that we’ll 
never guess?
Amongst the menagerie of 
pets I have at home, my latest 
additions to the family are two 
pet Barramundi named Barry 
and Brian.

Lance Barratt
Service Station Manager, 
BP Noosa

What is your role within 
Ingenia, and how long have 
you worked for the Group?
I am manager of the BP Noosa 
Service Station which was 
acquired by Ingenia along 
with the Big4 Noosa at Tewantin, 
Queensland in February this 
year. Prior to the acquisition 
I have been an employee 
of the business since 1997 
and manager since 2005. 

What attracted you 
to your role? 
Having worked for the same 
business all my adult life it was 
natural progression. My years 
of service meant I had a good 
knowledge of the day-to-
day operations and it was an 
exciting step up in my career 
and presented new ways to 
challenge myself. 

What excites about 
our organisation?
Having a team behind me 
providing the support and 
assistance where and when 
it is needed.

What interests you 
about the petrol and 
convenience sector?
It’s a competitive industry and 
the challenge of finding ways 
to keep loyal customers returning 
is something I enjoy. 

Where do you see 
yourself in five years?
In five years time I’d love to 
be happily working still in my 
role or have broadened my 
skill set and progressed up 
the career ladder.

Tell us a fun fact 
about yourself that we’ll 
never guess?
Last year my fiancé and I bought 
a 50 acre property which is 
quickly becoming a hobby farm 
with a couple of horses, two 
border collie dogs, two miniature 
goats and some rescued ex-
battery hens now living the 
good life!

What’s the most rewarding 
part of your role?
Getting positive feedback about 
friendly staff interactions or in 
store promotions. When sales 
and profits are up and customers 
leave smiling, everything is 
running as it should be.

What’s the hardest part 
of your role?
Remaining competitive in the 
‘dog eat dog’ world of fuel 
retailing is a nightmare. Being 
an independent amongst a 
world of corporate owned and 
operated fuel sites means we 
can’t play the price war head 
to head but instead must find 
alternate ways to keep a loyal 
customer base. We achieve this 
by offering a point of difference, 
friendly driveway services and 
competitive pricing on everyday 
shop items for our largely 
residential surrounds.

3. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

a. Ingenia Communities Group Overview
The Group is an active owner, manager and developer 
of a diversified portfolio of retirement communities and 
lifestyle parks across Australia. Its real estate assets are 
valued at $392.8 million, being 20 lifestyle parks, 31 rental 
villages and eight deferred management fee villages. The 
Group is in the ASX 300 with a market capitalisation of 
approximately $408 million.

The Group’s vision is to be a leading Australian 
provider of affordable long-term and short-term rental 
accommodation with a focus on the seniors demographic. 
The Board is committed to delivering long-term earnings 
and security price growth to securityholders and 
providing a supportive community environment to both 
its permanent and short-term residents.

b. Strategy
The Group’s strategy is primarily focused on improved 
operational performance across its portfolio and continued 
acceleration of development within its lifestyle parks 
sector. Using a disciplined investment framework, the 
Group will continue to acquire further lifestyle parks 
through deployment of the balance of equity funds raised 
in October 2014 as well as capital recycling, efficient 
inventory management and sale of completed homes.

The Group finalised its strategic exit from the non-core 
New Zealand Students portfolio in December 2014 and 
is in the process of reducing its investment in DMF assets.

A key element to achieving growth is efficient operational 
and capital management. In February 2015, the Group 
completed a debt refinance which increased its facility 
limit to $175.0 million, expanded its lender base, created 
enhanced flexibility and lowered pricing to an “all in” 
cost of debt currently of 4.6%. As at 30 June 2015, the 
facility is drawn to $63.9 million, which represents a loan 
to value ratio (“LVR”) of 22.6%, well below our target 
range of 30-35%. This leaves the Group well positioned 
to execute on further investment opportunities.

The key immediate business priorities of the Group are:

 – Continue building velocity in the delivery and sale of new 

homes within the Active Lifestyle Estates business;

 – Acquire additional lifestyle parks in existing and new 

market clusters;

 – Grow occupancy rates within the Garden Villages 

portfolio towards a new medium term target of 93%;

 – Grow occupancy and average room rates for short-term 

accommodation within Active Lifestyle Estates

 – Continue sell down of completed homes within the 

Settlers portfolio and explore opportunities to recycle 
capital from Settlers assets into higher cash yielding 
lifestyle park assets; and

 – Focus on growing asset cash yields through operational 

efficiencies including revenue optimisation and 
disciplined cost management. 

c. FY15 Financial Results
FY15 has been a year of significant investment in the Active 
Lifestyle Estates portfolio, with the focus on building a 
proven sales and development platform to deliver the 
forecast development pipeline returns. Management has 
also remained focused on increasing occupancy within 
the Garden Villages portfolio, selling down available stock 
within the Settlers portfolio and recycling capital from low 
yielding assets as evidenced by the divestment of three 
underperforming Garden Villages assets in June 2015.

Overall, FY15 has produced an Underlying Profit of 
$17.5 million and a statutory profit of $25.7 million, 
which respectively represents a significant increase of 
$5.9 million (51.3%) and $14.2 million (123.3%) on prior 
year. These results are underpinned by a significantly 
higher contribution from the Active Lifestyle Estates of 
$8.4 million, up 112.5% from prior year. 

Operating cashflow for the year was $9.0 million, 
down 36.6% from the prior year, reflecting growth in 
recurring rental income offset by increased investment 
in manufactured home production.

In October 2014, the Group raised $89.1 million from 
an institutional placement and rights issue, which with 
available debt facilities provided capacity to invest 
approximately $120 million into the lifestyle parks 
sector. Over the year the Group invested an additional 
$71.1 million (excluding transaction costs) into lifestyle 
parks acquiring a further five assets. To date, $87.0 million 
has been deployed into six assets with a further acquisition 
announced in August.

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 was launched in March 2013 and the Group now owns 20 lifestyle parks. 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 2015 
is $204.2 million.

Active Lifestyle Estates delivered an EBIT contribution of $8.4 million in FY15, of which $5.7 million was attributable to 
development of new and refurbished manufactured homes. The momentum achieved in settlements during FY15 has been 
strong and indicates a growing customer awareness and understanding of the lifestyle offering within our parks. Our two 
key manufactured home builders have performed well under the supplier agreements established this year and further 
council approvals has seen an increase in the volume of development ready approved sites. The rental accommodation 
earnings of this segment have grown strongly both through acquisitions and improved performance from the short-term 
tourism rental accommodation, despite taking some short-term sites off line to facilitate development. This strong result 
reflects investment in a sales and development framework for new homes which is well progressed with further refinements 
expected in FY16. We remain confident of building on this strong result during the coming financial year.

ii. Strategic priorities
The key strategic priorities for this business are continuing the sales and settlement momentum achieved during FY15, 
securing further development approvals for new homes within our existing parks, optimising home designs for efficiency 
and customer demand, growing rental returns and leveraging scale efficiencies. In FY16, the Group will assess expanding 
into greenfield development.

Garden Villages
Garden Villages comprises 31 rental villages located across the eastern seaboard and Western Australia. These villages 
accommodate more than 1,600 residents, and generate $24.4 million in gross rental income per annum. The carrying value 
of these assets at 30 June 2015 is $125.7 million.

Garden Villages delivers a consistent stream of recurring cash income for the Group. The results are up $1.1 million on prior 
year due to growing occupancy levels, which are up 2.8% on a like for like basis. 

In June 2015, three ‘out of cluster’, management intensive villages were divested for $6.7 million. Two of these villages were 
owned by the Group for eighteen months and were sold at 14% above their purchase price. 

ii. Strategic priorities
The key strategic priorities of this business over the coming year are to continue increasing village occupancy, increasing 
rents above CPI, growing cash margins, ensuring residents are actively engaged and maintaining affordability whilst 
leveraging scale efficiencies across the portfolio.

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued 

Settlers Lifestyle
Settlers Lifestyle is comprised of eight deferred management fee villages, four of which are 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 
from villages which are not yet fully converted and development income from unit conversions and village expansion. 
The carrying value of these assets at 30 June 2015, net of resident loans and lease liabilities is $62.9 million. The Group is 
exploring opportunities of reducing its exposure to this portfolio with five assets classified as held for sale at 30 June 2015.

The Settlers Lifestyle result is up $1.8 million from prior year despite lower settlement volumes and development margins as 
a result of several development projects nearing completion. These lower development earnings were offset by significant 
growth in the Group’s share of capital growth in the underlying units and winding down of sales and marketing efforts on 
near complete projects. 

ii. Strategic priorities
The key strategic priorities of this business over the coming year are completing the sale of the five assets classified as held 
for sale along with selling down any remaining stock across the portfolio. 

Discontinued Operations
The Group completed its exit from the New Zealand Students portfolio in December 2014.

g. Capital Management
The Group adopts a prudent and considered approach to capital management. During the year, the Group strengthened 
its capital position by undertaking an $89.1 million capital raising and negotiating a new $175.0 million Australian multilateral 
debt facility; an increase of $45.5 million from the previous facility.

As at 30 June 2015, the current LVR is 22.6%, which is below our target LVR of 30-35%. Once the Group deploys remaining 
proceeds from the capital raising and debt into further lifestyle parks, the LVR will move towards the lower end of the target 
range.

Annual Report 20157

Inventories, up $11.0 million, include 53 completed homes, reflecting the Group’s growing investment in the lifestyle sector. 
Development and sale of new manufactured homes is key to the Group’s strategy and as the number of active development 
projects increases, this balance will grow however at a lesser rate than that in FY15.

Investment properties increased by $40.9 million due to acquisition of five lifestyle parks for $78.2 million (including 
transaction costs), development expenditure, a $16.4 million fair value uplift offset by divestment of three Garden Villages 
assets and a $61.6 million reclassification of five Settlers villages to assets held for sale.

Assets and liabilities held for sale relates to five Settlers villages which are currently subject to sale with settlement expected 
within twelve months.

Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations decreased to nil reflecting the disposal of New Zealand operations in 
December 2014, in line with the divestment strategy.

Borrowings fell by $31.6 million reflecting application of funds yet to be deployed from the October equity raising and 
proceeds from the New Zealand Students divestment. Full deployment of these funds is anticipated within the coming 
months which will see debt levels increase. 

Other liabilities increased by $15.3 million due to recognition of deferred consideration associated with some of the lifestyle 
park acquisitions during the year.

Operating cash flow for the Group was $9.0 million reflecting growth recurring rental income contribution from the 
Active Lifestyle Estates and Garden Villages segments offset by a net cash outflow of $3.6 million associated with the 
manufactured homes. Over the last year, the Group has significantly ramped up its development activities and launched 
several projects. The Group has settled 56 homes during the year with a further 53 completed homes and 44 under 
construction homes included within inventory at June 2015.

j. Distributions
The following distributions were made during or in respect of the year:

 – On 24 February 2015, the directors declared an interim distribution of 0.65 cps (2014: 0.50 cps) amounting to $5,712,537 

which was paid on 18 March 2015.

 – On 25 August 2015, the directors declared a final distribution of 0.70 cps (2014: 0.65 cps) amounting to $6,205,793, to be 

paid on 16 September 2015.

The distribution is 71.0% 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. 

k. Outlook
The Group is well positioned to continue growing its lifestyle parks business with a significant and accretive acquisition 
pipeline in place and significant debt capacity. Further growth in sales and settlements volumes is expected in FY16 as 
further projects are launched.

The Group will continue to regularly assess the performance of its existing assets and where appropriate recycle that capital 
into other opportunities delivering superior returns.

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 FY15.

12.1 Introduction
Ingenia undertook a thorough review and made significant 
changes to its executive remuneration arrangements 
between 30 June 2014 and the AGM in November 
2014. Those changes were summarised last year in a 
message from the Committee and detailed in the FY14 
Remuneration Report under the section dealing with 
FY15 remuneration. They are also detailed in the FY15 
Remuneration Report which follows, so it is not necessary 
for me to repeat them here.

We were very pleased by the strong support from 
securityholders for those changes which was reflected in 
a 99% vote in favour of the Remuneration Report at last 
year’s AGM. 

We are not proposing significant changes this year in 
relation to FY16 executive remuneration. The few changes 
that are proposed are highlighted below and detailed in 
the Remuneration Report Section 13.13.

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

Ingenia was internalised in June 2012. Performance in 
the first two years of operation, FY13 and FY14 was 
exceptional.

Ingenia ran into some headwinds in the first half of FY15 
and results were below expectations. However, Ingenia 
had a strong second six months with results for the FY15 
year above threshold but below target. This outcome 
is reflected in the executive and NED remuneration 
recommendations in the Remuneration Report.

12.3 Ingenia’s Corporate Strategy
Ingenia’s corporate strategy has not changed substantially 
from last year. The strategy is highlighted in the CEO’s 
Investor Presentation.

The Board has continued to closely align remuneration 
objectives and strategy with corporate strategy. For 
example, because the Board is focusing on medium to 
long-term return on investment, we have decided to 
introduce an additional LTI hurdle for performance against 
Return on Equity targets.

9

12.4 Overview of 2015 Remuneration
We acknowledge that corporate governance requirements 
are making remuneration reports more complex so key 
outcomes from Ingenia’s FY15 and FY16 remuneration 
are summarised below for the convenience of our 
securityholders:

 – FY15 STI award outcomes for Key Management 

Personnel (“KMP”) were broadly in line with Ingenia’s 
performance, above threshold but below target and well 
below maximum.

 – FY16 STI metrics have again been set at quite 

challenging levels and are substantially based on 
quantified targets including Underlying Profit and 
relevant operating targets.

 – The Board has approved modest increases in FY16 Total 
Fixed Remuneration for KMP: no increase for the CEO, 
a 2.5% increase for the CFO and a 5.0% increase for the 
Chief Operating Officer (“COO”).

 – The Board is proposing a change from last year in the 
mix of TFR, STI and LTI percentages for the CFO and 
COO, increasing the STI at risk component from 40% 
to 60% of TFR.

 – The structure of KMP remuneration also remains 

unchanged

•  STI will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in deferred 
equity which is subject to a vesting requirement 
that Underlying Profit must increase by at least 5% 
over the previous year for deferred STI to vest. This 
effectively operates as a performance gateway for 
vesting.

•  Both deferred STI and LTI are subject to a malus 

provision.

 – As noted above the Board has introduced an additional 
LTI hurdle which measures performance against Return 
on Equity targets. As with our TSR hurdle there will be 
zero LTI vesting at threshold.

 – The review of NED remuneration has been deferred until 

December 2015.

12.5 Conclusion
My colleagues on the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee and I wish to acknowledge the valuable input 
we received from our Board colleagues including the 
Company Secretary, management, Guerdon Associates, 
investors and proxy advisors.

We recommend Ingenia’s Remuneration Report to 
investors and seek your support for the resolution to adopt 
the Remuneration Report at Ingenia’s AGM on Tuesday 
17 November 2015.

Yours sincerely

Philip Marcus Clark AM 
Chairman – Remuneration and Nomination Committee

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued 

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

13.1 Introduction
The Board presents the Remuneration Report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2015, which forms part of 
the Directors’ Report and has been prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) 
(“Corporations Act”). The data provided in the Remuneration Report was audited as required under section 308(3C) 
of the Corporations Act.

13.2 Remuneration Governance

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

The RNC comprises the following non-executive directors (“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 advisors. 

The Board is ultimately responsible for decisions made on recommendations from the RNC. No director votes on 
remuneration resolutions which directly impact on his or her remuneration.

b. External Remuneration Advisers
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.

Guerdon Associates were re-engaged in March 2015 to provide independent remuneration advice for KMP for FY16.

For the provision of the advice 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 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 advisors outside of the 
Chairman of the RNC. A declaration of independence from Guerdon Associates was received by the Board prior to the 
acceptance of their engagement and accompanied their report to the RNC.

While remuneration services were received, no remuneration recommendations as defined under Division 1, Part 1.2.98 (1) 
of the Corporations Act, were made by Guerdon Associates.

13.4 Remuneration of Executive KMP 

a. Remuneration Policy
The Group’s Remuneration Policy is to ensure 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:

 – Capability, skills and experience;
 – Ability to impact achievement of the strategic objectives of the Group;
 – Performance of the KMP in their roles;
 – The Group’s overall performance;
 – Remuneration levels being paid by competitors for similar positions; and
 – The need to ensure continuity of executive talent.

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

Total Fixed Remuneration (“TFR”)

Short-term incentive (“STI”)

Long-term incentive (“LTI”)

TFR 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 meet the Group’s business plan and individual Key Performance 
Indicators (“KPI”) measured over the financial year.

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

For achievement of FY15 STIs, the payment will be 50% cash and a 50% 
deferred equity element linked to earnings growth sustainability. This 
mechanism will be continued in FY16.

LTI is granted to individuals to align their focus with the Group’s required 
TSR and for FY16 Return on Equity (“ROE”) performance measured over 
three financial years. 

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

Payment for achievement of LTIs will be made in equity for alignment 
with securityholders’ interests.

LTIs are subject a malus provision.

c. Mix of Remuneration Components
Executive remuneration packages include a mix of fixed remuneration, STIs and LTIs. The Group aims to reward executives 
with a mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities and aligned with market practice.

The Group’s policy is to set the total employment cost of KMP by reference to the 50th percentile range of comparable 
industry peers and other Australian listed companies of similar size and complexity, whilst also taking into account the 
individual’s competence and the potential impact of incentives.

The target remuneration mix for executives for the year ended 30 June 2015, expressed as a percentage of total 
remuneration, is detailed in the table below:

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 2015:

13.6 New Rights Plan
Guerdon Associates were engaged to review the rules of the STI and LTI plan and subsequently proposed rules for a 
Rights Plan, which were endorsed by the RNC and approved by the Board. The new Rights Plan was also approved by 
securityholders at the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) held on 12 November 2014. 

The Rights Plan provides for the issuance of Rights which, upon a determination by the Board that the performance 
conditions attached to the Rights have been met, will result in the issue of stapled securities in the Group for each Right. 

The Rights Plan provides for the issue of Rights to eligible employees for both STIs and LTIs.

13.7 Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”)
Under the new Rights Plan, a structural change was implemented for the FY15 STIs 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 FY15 STIP Rights are subject to the following terms and conditions:

 – A ‘malus’ (forfeiture) provision during the deferral period, which means that some or all of the STIP Rights may lapse if:

•  the Board forms the view that Ingenia’s earnings growth is not sustainable (in general, this will require earnings growth 

to be equal to or above 5% on the prior year); or

•  any of the circumstances set out in the rules of the Rights Plan occur, such as fraud or dishonesty, a breach of 

obligations or material misstatement of Ingenia’s financial statements;

 – A one-year deferral period and are eligible to vest on or following 1 October 2016;
 – On the vesting date Ingenia will cause the relevant number of INA securities to be issued to the executive in accordance 

with a prescribed formula; and

 – No amount is payable by the executive for the issue or transfer of Ingenia securities to the executive.

The STIP award is subject to STI performance conditions that focus on Board assessment areas of operating earnings, 
capital management (for the CEO only), operational targets and people and reporting assessments. Each assessment area 
is weighted to break down the award further. These KPIs have been chosen as they aim to focus individuals to meet the 
Group’s business plan. The KPIs specific to the executive KMPs are outlined in the table below, together with what the Board 
will consider in determining the achievement of the KPI.

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.

Annual Report 201515

For the year ended 30 June 2015, the Board assessed the performance of the CEO and the CEO assessed the performance 
of the CFO and COO, against their respective KPIs. The RNC then recommended and the Board approved STIP awards. 

The Board approved STIP awards for the year ended 30 June 2015 for each executive KMP were as follows:

The FY15 deferred equity STIP component of the CEO’s remuneration was approved by securityholders at the AGM held 
on 12 November 2014. Any STIP Rights deferred equity component of the CEO’s remuneration for FY16 will be subject to 
securityholder approval at the 2015 AGM to be held on 17 November 2015.

13.8 Long-Term Incentives

a. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”)
The objective of the Group’s LTIP 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. 

On advice from Guerdon Associates, the RNC recommended, and the Board and securityholders approved significant 
changes under the new Rights Plan commencing in FY15 to:

 – The performance conditions for vesting of LTIP Rights; and
 – The methodology used to convert dollar amount awards to LTIP Rights entitlements.

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

TSR is the growth in the security price plus distributions, assuming distributions are reinvested. To minimise the impact of 
any short-term volatility, Ingenia’s TSR will be calculated using the volume 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.

The FY15 LTIP Rights will vest on the following basis:

Growth rate in INA’s TSR

% of Rights that vest

At or Below Threshold

Equal to or less than Index + 1% CAGR 

Nil

Between Threshold and Maximum Between Index + 1% and Index +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 LTIP Rights.

The methodology used to calculate Rights entitlements in FY15 determines security value as the volume weighted average 
price (“VWAP”) of Ingenia securities in the period of 30 trading days ending on the grant date (being, 1 October 2014 for the 
CFO and COO, and 12 November 2014 for the CEO). The number of LTIP Rights granted in FY15 was calculated by dividing 
the maximum LTIP Award by the VWAP. 

Each LTIP Right vested equals one Ingenia security plus an additional number of Ingenia securities calculated on the basis of 
the distributions that would have been paid during the relevant period being reinvested. 

The FY15 LTIP components of Simon Owen’s remuneration were approved by securityholders at the Annual General Meeting 
held on 12 November 2014. Any LTIP components of the CEO’s remuneration for FY16 will be subject to securityholder 
approval at the 2015 Annual General Meeting to be held on 17 November 2015.

b. Performance Quantum Rights (“PQRs”) Issued in FY14
Prior to FY15, the Board adopted an LTI scheme that provided for the issue of PQRs rather than LTIP Rights. Subject to 
vesting conditions, each PQR entitles the holder to one Ingenia fully paid stapled security.

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. 

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.

In respect of FY14 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:

vest in respect of the Scheme Year:

c. Summary of PQRs and LTIPs on Issue
The following table sets out the participation level of KMP in the past LTI Scheme (where PQRs were issued) and the new 
Rights Plan (where LTIP Rights were issued), in terms of grant size, fair value, vesting date and the maximum amount to 
be expensed in the future. PQRs were granted during the years ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2014. LTIP Rights were 
granted during the year ended 30 June 2015.

d. Retention Quantum Rights (“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 and each right entitles the holder to one Ingenia fully paid stapled security 
which is traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the code INA.

RQRs were granted to the following employees during FY12 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 and the initial transition of the business as an ASX listed entity. 

All the following RQR rights vested on 1 July 2014 and have been converted to Ingenia securities as at that date.

e. LTIP – Termination of Employment
The following outlines the treatment of unvested LTIP Rights at the time of termination of employment. This treatment also 
applies to unvested STIP Rights.

 – Where a Participant holding unvested Rights ceases to be an employee of the Group, those Rights immediately lapse. 
 – Notwithstanding the above, where a Participant holding unvested Rights ceases to be an employee of the Group due to a 

Qualifying Reason, the Board may, in its discretion, determine the treatment of those unvested Rights.

 – Qualifying Reason means:

•  the death, total and permanent disablement, retirement or redundancy of the Participant as determined by the Board 

in its absolute discretion; or

•  any other reason with the approval of the Board.

f. LTI Scheme (PQRs) – Termination of Employment
The following table outlines the treatment of unvested PQRs at the time of a termination of employment:

Termination circumstance

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.

13.11 Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration

a. NED Fees
The maximum aggregate fee pool available to NEDs is $1,000,000 as stipulated in the Constitution that was adopted  
pre-internalisation. 

b. Performance-Based Remuneration
NEDs are remunerated by way of cash and mandated superannuation. They are not permitted to participate in performance 
based remuneration practices unless approved by securityholders. The Group currently has no intention to remunerate 
NEDs by any way other than cash benefits.

c. Equity-Based Remuneration
Directors are eligible to participate in the existing Rights Plan, however there is no current intention to grant any Rights to 
NEDs under this plan.

However, all NEDs have self funded the purchase of Ingenia securities on market thereby aligning their interests with 
securityholders. Details are shown below in Section 13.12.

The Board has introduced a policy guideline for Non-Executive Directors to hold the equivalent of one year’s gross fees 
in Ingenia securities within a period of two years from the date of appointment.

d. NED Remuneration Table
The following table outlines the remuneration provided to NEDs for the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014:

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued 

13.13 FY16 Remuneration
This section of the Remuneration Report deals with the period from 1 July 2015 to the date of this report.

a. External Remuneration Advisors
Guerdon Associates were re-appointed by the Board to provide independent remuneration advice for KMP remuneration in 
respect of FY16, 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 FY16:

i.  Focus management on delivering outcomes in the short to medium term, particularly significant Underlying Profit growth;

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

iii.  Attracting, retaining and motivating KMP.

c. Details of KMP 
There have been no changes to the KMP since 30 June 2015 and before the date of this report.

d. Review Date
The review date for FY16 will remain 1 October 2016, 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 remuneration 
mix for executives for FY16, expressed as a percentage of total remuneration, as detailed in the table below:

Target mix

CEO

CFO

COO

TFR

43.5%

100.0%

100.0%

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

f. TFR
Based on market data from Guerdon Associates and recommendations from the RNC, the Board has set TFR for each of the 
executives for FY16 as detailed in the table below:

CEO

CFO

COO(1)

(1)  Based on five days per week.

TFR (p.a.)

$650,000

$336,200

$330,750

No increase on FY15 TFR will be made to the FY16 fixed remuneration for the CEO. The increase in FY16 TFR for the CFO 
is 2.5% and COO is 5.0%. The Board considers these increases reasonable in the context of market remuneration levels for 
matched positions in comparable companies.

Data for TFR ranges for the CFO and COO for FY16 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.

Annual Report 201525

g. STI 
For FY16 STI 50% of the maximum STI for the executive KMP will be paid in cash and the remaining 50% will be a deferred 
equity element. The deferred equity component is subject to forfeiture where earnings growth is not sustained. The deferral 
is for 12 months and earnings growth sustainability has been defined as at least 5% Underlying Profit 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.

(2)  Based on five days per week.

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 2017

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, capital management, 
operational, systems and people and reporting metrics. In each case, the KPIs are further broken down to identify specific 
measurements to monitor the achievement of performance. These are set with ‘threshold’, ‘target’ and ‘stretch’ performance 
levels, with entitlements calculated on a pro-rata basis between these levels.

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

(1)   Subject to securityholder approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 17 November 2015.

(2)  Based on five days per week.

ii. LTIP Rights Performance Conditions
The LTIP Rights offered after 30 June 2015 and before the date of this report are subject to two LTIP Performance 
Conditions:

a.   70% based on a Relative TSR; and

b.  30% based on a Return on Equity (“ROE”).

a.  Relative TSR Performance Condition

 The Relative TSR Hurdle is growth in Ingenia’s TSR relative to growth in the ASX 300 Industrials Index, measured over 
the Rights Performance Period ending on 30 June 2018.

 The 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, Ingenia’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.

Annual Report 2015 
 
 
27

The Rights will vest on the following basis:

At or Below Threshold

Equal to or less than Index  
+ 1% CAGR 

Nil

Growth rate in INA’s TSR

% of Rights that vest

Between Threshold and Maximum Between Index + 1% and Index  

+ 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 LTIP Rights.

b. ROE Performance Condition
The ROE Performance Condition has been added in FY16 because the Board is focused on improving medium to long-term 
return on investment.

ROE is defined as Underlying Profit divided by net assets. The relevant metric is ROE achieved in FY18.

Vesting levels for FY18 are:

Threshold 

ROE 

> 8.0%

Target 

ROE 

= or > 9.0%

Maximum 

ROE 

= or > 10.0%

FY16 LTIP Rights will vest on the following basis:

At Threshold

Nil

Above Threshold and below Maximum 30% plus an additional amount of progressive vesting on a straight line basis to 100%

At or above Maximum

100%

iii. LTIP Methodology
The FY16 LTIP methodology determines security value as the VWAP of Ingenia securities in the period of 30 trading 
days ending on the grant date (expected to be 1 October 2015 for the CFO and COO and within a week of approval from 
securityholders at the annual general meeting on 17 November 2015 for the CEO). The number of LTIP Rights granted in 
FY16 will be calculated by dividing the Rights by the 30 day VWAP of the INA security price. Each LTI Right vested equals 
one Ingenia security plus an additional number of Ingenia securities calculated on the basis of the distributions that would 
have been paid during the relevant period being reinvested. 

iv. Entitlement to Distribution adjustment
FY16 LTIP Rights will be entitlements to Rights to stapled securities plus additional stapled securities equal to distributions 
paid during the vesting period. The Board aims to have executive KMP incentivised to grow distributions to securityholders.

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 2015 was authorised for issue by the directors 
on 9 September 2015.

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 2015, the Group recorded a net current asset 
deficiency of $125,995,000. This deficiency includes 
retirement village resident loans of $161,878,000 and 
liabilities held for sale of $42,041,000. 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. 
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 
including AASB 2012-3 Offsetting Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities. 

The impact of application of the Standard is as follows:

Accounting Standard

Impact on the Group

AASB 2012-3

This amendment clarifies that 
the right of set off must be 
available today and must be 
legally enforceable in the normal 
course of business as well as in 
the event of default, insolvency or 
bankruptcy.

The application of this Standard 
did not have any impact on the 
Group as retirement village loans 
are already offset. 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued 

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

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 and liabilities 
held for sale are given at Notes 8 and 10.

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.

Annual Report 2015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.

37

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 
shortterm deposits that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of 
changes in value.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 and service station 
fuel and supplies both 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, 
tourism cabins and associated amenities.

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. In determining 
the fair value of assets held for sale, recent market offers 
have been taken into consideration.

It is the Group’s policy to have all investment properties 
independently valued at intervals of not more than two 
years. It is the policy of the Group 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 investment property are 
recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.

In determining fair values, the Group considers relevant 
information including the capitalisation of rental streams 
using market assessed capitalisation rates, expected net 
cash flows discounted to their present value using market 
determined risk adjusted discount rates and other available 
market data such as recent comparable transactions. The 
assessment of fair value of investment properties does not 
take into account potential capital gains tax assessable. 

r. Intangible Assets
An intangible asset arising from development expenditure 
related to software is recognised only when the Group 
can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing 
the intangible asset so that it will be available for use, 
how the asset will generate future economic benefits, 
the availability of resources to complete the asset and 
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during 
its development. Costs capitalised include external 
direct costs of materials and service, and direct payroll 
and payroll related costs of employees’ time spent on 
the project.

Following the initial recognition of expenditure, the asset 
is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset 
begins when the development is complete and the asset 
is available for use. Amortisation is over the period of 
expected future benefit.

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.

The Group’s policy applied to capitalised development 
costs is as follows:

Software and associated development to capitalised 
development costs (assets in use)

 – Useful life: Finite Amortisation method using 7 years on 

a straight line basis; and

 –

Impairment test: Amortisation method reviewed at 
each financial year end; closing carrying value reviewed 
annually for indicators of impairment.

Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible 
assets is capitalised only when it increases the future 
economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to 
which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as 
incurred. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an 
intangible asset are measured as the difference between 
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of 
the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the 
asset is de-recognised. 

Annual Report 201539

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 corporate bonds with terms to maturity 
and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows.

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 30(k), 27(j) 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. 

Service station sales revenue represents the revenue 
earned from the provision of products to external parties. 
Sales revenue is only recognised when the significant 
risks and rewards of ownership of the products including 
possession are passed 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

z. Income Tax

POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

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

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, 
the head entity of 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. 

Annual Report 201541

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 30. 

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.

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 within 
Note 30.

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 securities, adjusted for any bonus 
element. 

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to 
the Group divided by the weighted average number 
of ordinary securities and dilutive potential ordinary 
securities, 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, measurement and 
de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. 
Changes in the Group’s credit risk, which affect the value 
of liabilities designated at fair value through profit and 
loss, can be presented in other comprehensive income. 
The application of the Standard is not expected to have 
any material impact on the Group’s financial reporting in 
future periods.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is 
applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2018. The Group has not early adopted this 
standard. The standard is based on the principle that 
revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is 
transferred to a customer. It contains a single model that 
applies to contracts with customers and two approaches 
to recognising revenue; at a point in time or over time. 
The model features a contract-based five-step analysis 
of transactions to determine whether, how much and 
when revenue is recognised. It applies to all contracts 
with customers except leases, financial instruments and 
insurance contracts. It requires reporting entities to provide 
users of financial statement with more informative and 
relevant disclosures. The application of the Standard is 
not expected to have any material impact on the Group’s 
financial reporting in future periods.

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 in 
future reporting periods.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 and assets held 
for sale with a carrying amount of $601,326,000 (2014: 
$504,302,000) (refer Note 10 and Note 14), and retirement 
village residents’ loans and liabilities held for sale with a 
carrying amount of $203,919,000 (2014: $190,122,000) 
(refer Note 10 and Note 19), which together represent the 
estimated fair value of the Group’s property business.

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. The valuation assumption for 
properties to be developed reflect assumptions around 
sales prices for new homes, sales rates, new rental tariffs, 
estimates of capital expenditure, discount rates and 
projected property growth rates.

In forming these assumptions, the Group 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 and service station fuel and supplies, 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 for long-term incentive performance 
rights and the security price at grant date of short-term 
incentive rights. Refer to Note 28 for assumptions used 
in determining the fair value.

Annual Report 201543

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

 – Garden Villages – rental villages; 
 – Settlers Lifestyle – deferred management fee villages; 

and 

 – Active Lifestyle Estates – comprising long-term and 

short-term accommodation 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”.

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.

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 
during the year ended 30 June 2014.

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 

a. Details of Discontinued Operations
The Group’s investment in its 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 
property business. The Group held 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 completed the sale of these 
assets in December 2014. Funds remain in New Zealand to facilitate the final stages of exit.

b. Financial Performance
The financial performance of components of the Group disposed of or classified as discontinued operations was:

Revenue

Net loss on change in fair value of investment properties

Unrealised net foreign exchange gain/(loss)

Other income

Expenses

Interest expense

Distributions from formerly equity accounted investments

Disposal costs associated with overseas investments 

Profit/(loss) from operating activities before income tax

Income tax expense

Relationship of 
unobservable  
input to fair value

As costs are fixed in 
nature, occupancy has 
a direct correlation to 
valuation (ie. the higher 
the occupancy, the 
greater the value).

Capitalisation has an 
inverse relationship to 
valuation.

Market value and growth 
in value have a direct 
correlation to valuation, 
while length of stay and 
discount rate have an 
inverse relationship to 
valuation.

Average length of stay 
projection is based on 
life expectancy and 
other factors.

Parameters exclude 
assets that are subject

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 and applying a capitalisation rate 
into perpetuity. The capitalisation rate is based on current market evidence. Future income projections take into account 
occupancy, rental income and operating expenses.

14. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)

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 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.

 – Core Interest Cover Ratio (adjusted to exclude development income and associated costs) of at least 1.50x in financial year 

ending 2015 increasing to at least 2.0x in FY2016;

 – Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio not more than 6x up to 30 June 2015, 5.5x up to 31 December 2015, 5x up to 30 June 

2016, 4x after 30 June 2016.

As at 30 June 2015, the facility has been drawn to $63,900,000 (2014: $94,000,000). The carrying value of investment 
property net of resident liabilities at reporting date for the Group’s Australian properties pledged as security is 
$363,720,000 (2014: $290,375,000).

b. Bank Guarantees
The Group has the ability to utilise its $175.0 million bank facility to provide bank guarantees. Bank guarantees at 30 June 
2015 were $28.8 million (2014: $4.4 million). Refer to Note 27.

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 the Active Lifestyle Estates Ettalong Beach acquisition. The lease is for an initial three years 
commencing September 2012 with two renewal options of seven years each. The first option period was exercised on 1 July 
2015 for seven years to June 2022. The below table is based on the expectation that the last lease option will be exercised. 

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

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 applicable at the time of acquisition 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.

for land and facilities as part of its Ettalong Holiday Village acquisition. The lease is for an initial three years commencing 
September 2012 with two renewal options of seven years each. The first option period was exercised on 1 July 2015 for 
seven years to June 2022.

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.

Refer to Note 18 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. 

27. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There are no known contingent liabilities other than the bank guarantees totalling $28.8 million provided for under the 
$175.0 million bank facility (refer to Note 18).

Bank guarantees of $18.8 million primarily related to deferred acquisition consideration recognised as current and 
non-current payables (refer to Note 17). These guarantees will not be called by the counterparties unless the deferred 
consideration is not paid in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

There is a $10 million bank guarantee in favour of Ingenia Communities RE Limited issued to satisfy the Responsible Entity’s 
AFSL capital requirements.

28. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS
The Group has established rights plans, which provide for the grant of conditional rights to receive securities in the Group. 
The intention of these plans 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 to sustain earnings growth.

These plans encompass various types of security rights, being:

 – Performance Quantum rights (“PQRs”) which 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 (“TSR”). On vesting, each PQR entitles the 
employee to receive one security of the Group for no consideration.

 – Retention Quantum Rights (“RQRs”) issued as a one off grant in 2012 to ensure stability during the internalisation transition. 
These rights were subject to the employee remaining with the Group for a two year retention period. These rights vested on 
1 July 2014 and RQRs will not be issued in the future.

 –

Long-Term Incentive Rights (“LTIPs”) which vest subject to a performance condition based on growth in the Group’s TSR 
relative to the ASX 300 Industrials Index return over the performance period.

 – Short-Term Incentive Rights (“STIPs”) which are awarded based on agreed performance conditions as part of the 

executive’s short-term incentive remuneration. The value of the rights awarded is conditional based on executives meeting 
pre-agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Once performance against the KPIs has been assessed, the value of the 
STIPs to be issued is determined. These STIPs are then subject to a one year vesting deferral period from the issue date. 
The STIP allows for certain lapsing conditions within the deferral period, should certain conditions occur.

During the year, 982,971 LTIPs were granted to senior executives of the Group. The number of LTIPs that will vest 
depends on the TSR achieved and is conditional on the individual being in employment of the Group on the vesting date 
(30 September 2017). The measurement period for these LTIPs is 1 October 2014 to 30 September 2017 and full rights vest 
based on TSR growth relative to growth in the ASX 300 Industrial Index. A sliding scale applies for lower TSRs with the 
number of rights vesting being nil for a TSR at or below 1%. One right equates to one security in the Group.

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

Grant Date

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

The fair value of PQRs and LTIPs 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 
$590,928 (2014: $680,600).

The total value of STIP rights is conditional based on KMPs meeting pre-agreed Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) 
and is subject to adjustment through to 1 October 2015 once the full year audited result is known and the KPIs can be 
reliably measured. An estimate based on the current period performance and KMP performance against these KPIs has 
been recognised at 30 June 2015. However, the total number of rights to be issued will be determined by 1 October 2015. 
The deferred expense for STIPs recognised for the year was $86,356 (2014: nil).

29. 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, 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 primarily monitors its capital position through the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) which is a key covenant under the 
Group’s $175.0 million multilateral debt facility. LVR is calculated as the sum of bank debt, bank guarantees and finance 
leases net of cash at bank as a percentage of the value of properties pledged as security. The Group’s strategy is to maintain 
an LVR range of 30-35%. As at 30 June 2015, LVR is 22.6% compared to 33.9% at 30 June 2014.

In addition the Group also monitors Interest Cover Ratio and Net Debt: Adjusted EBITDA as defined under the multilateral 
debt facility. At 30 June 2015, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 2.96%; the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 2.68% and Net 
Debt: Adjusted EBITDA was 4.58.

30. 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 the forecast is unlikely 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.

Annual Report 201567

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 2015, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 28% of the Group’s borrowings 
are at a fixed rate of interest (2014: 47%).

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.

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%

e. Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is limited to foreign denominated cash balances and receivables following the 
divestment of its final overseas operations in December 2014. These amounts are unhedged as cash will be used to cover 
final costs to wind up the companies and receivables relate to escrows.

f. Net Foreign Currency Exposure
The Group’s net foreign currency monetary exposure 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.

30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

h. 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.

i. 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 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.

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.

j. 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.

k. Fair Value
The Group uses 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.

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

Net present value of future 
cash flows discounted at 
market rates adjusted for the

37. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

a. Performance Quantum Rights Vesting
On 1 July 2015, 3,842,000 Performance Quantum Rights (“PQRs”) granted to KMP in 2012 vested. As a result, 3,842,000 
fully paid stapled securities have been issued to the following KMP:

Simon Owen

Tania Betts

Nicole Fisher

2,260,000

791,000

b. Acquisition of Upstream Bethania
On 3 July 2015, the Group settled Upstream Bethania, the Group’s second Active Lifestyle Estate in Brisbane, 
complementing Chambers Pines Lifestyle Resort and the Group’s existing Garden Villages in the region. The acquisition 
price was $8.15 million (excluding transaction costs) and was funded from the proceeds of the capital raising in October 
2014.

This park, now known as Active Lifestyle Estate Bethania, is an existing manufactured home community outside Brisbane 
and represents a significant development opportunity that will grow the Group’s existing rental stream.

c. Execution of Hedging Contract
On 31 July 2015, the Group entered into an interest rate hedge collar for $16.0 million with an expiry date of August 
2017. The execution of this hedge means 23.2% of the Group’s debt is currently hedged with the intention to gradually 
increase the hedged exposure over the coming months.

d. Acquisition of Big 4 Conjola Lakeside
On 13 August 2015, the Group announced it had exchanged unconditional contracts for the acquisition of Big 4 Conjola 
Lakeside in Lake Conjola, NSW. The acquisition price is $24.0 million (excluding transaction costs) and will be funded from 
the proceeds of the capital raising in October 2014.

e. Final FY15 distribution
On 25 August 2015, the directors of the Group resolved to declare a final distribution of 0.70 cps (2014: 0.65 cps) amounting 
to $6,205,793 to be paid as 16 September 2015. The distribution is 71.0% tax deferred and the dividend reinvestment plan 
will apply to the final distribution.

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2015

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 
(“ICRE” or “Responsible Entity”) is Ingenia Communities 
Holdings Limited (the “Company” or “ICH”). 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 for the full year ended 30 June 2015 
(the “current period”).

DIRECTORS
The directors of Ingenia Communities RE Limited at any 
time during or since the end of the financial year were:

Non-executive directors
Jim Hazel (Chairman)

Philip Clark AM

Amanda Heyworth

Robert Morrison

Norah Barlow ONZM

Executive director
Simon Owen (Managing Director and CEO)

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 the 
Ingenia Communities Group (the “Group”) which is a triple 
stapled structure traded on the ASX.

The Group is an active owner, manager and developer of a 
diversified portfolio of retirement communities and lifestyle 
parks across Australia. Its real estate assets are valued 
at $393.0 million, being twenty lifestyle parks, thirty-one 
rental villages and eight deferred management fee villages. 
The Group is in the ASX 300 with a market capitalisation of 
approximately $408 million.

The Group’s vision is to be a leading Australian provider of 
affordable long term and short term rental accommodation 
with a focus on the seniors demographic. The Board is 
committed to delivering long term earnings and security 
price growth to securityholders and providing a supportive 
community environment to both its permanent and short 
term residents.

b. Strategy
The strategies of ICF and ICMT are aligned with the 
Group’s strategy of being primarily focused on improved 
operational performance across its portfolio and continued 
acceleration of development within its lifestyle parks 
sector. Using a disciplined investment framework, the 
Group will continue to acquire further lifestyle parks 
through deployment of the balance of equity funds raised 
in October 2014 as well as capital recycling, efficient 
inventory management and sale of completed homes.

The Group finalised its strategic exit from the non-core 
New Zealand Students portfolio in December 2014 and is 
in the process of reducing its investment in DMF assets.

A key element to achieving growth is efficient operational 
and capital management. In February 2015, the Group 
completed a debt refinance which increased its facility limit 
to $175 million, expanded its lender base, created enhanced 
flexibility and lowered pricing to an “all in” cost of debt 
currently of 4.6%. As at 30 June 2015, the facility is drawn 
to $63.9 million, which represents a loan to value ratio 
(“LVR”) of 22.6%, well below our target range of 30-35%. 
This leaves the Group well positioned to execute on further 
investment opportunities.

The key immediate business priorities of the Group are:

 – Continue building velocity in the delivery and sale of 

new homes within the Active Lifestyle Estates business;

 – Acquire additional lifestyle parks in existing and new 

market clusters;

 – Grow occupancy rates within the Garden Villages 

portfolio towards a new medium term target of 93%;

 – Grow occupancy and average room rates for short term 

accommodation within Active Lifestyle Estates

 – Continue sell down of completed homes within the 

Settlers portfolio and explore opportunities to recycle 
capital from Settlers assets into higher cash yielding 
lifestyle park assets; and

 – Focus on growing asset cash yields through operational 

efficiencies including revenue optimisation and 
disciplined cost management

c. FY15 financial results
FY15 has been a year of significant investment in the 
Active Lifestyle Estates portfolio, with the focus on building 
a proven sales and development platform to deliver the 
forecast development pipeline returns. Management has 
also remained focused on increasing occupancy within 
the Garden Villages portfolio, selling down available stock 
within the Settlers portfolio and recycling capital from low 
yielding assets as evidenced by the divestment of three 
underperforming Garden Villages assets in June 2015.

In October 2014, the Group raised $89.1 million from 
an institutional placement and rights issue, which with 
available debt facilities provided capacity to invest 
approximately $120 million into the lifestyle parks sector. 
Over the year ICMT invested an additional $71.1 million 
(excluding transaction costs) into lifestyle parks 
acquiring a further five assets. To date, $87.0 million 
has been deployed into six assets with a further 
acquisition announced in August.

Annual Report 201585

d. Key metrics
 – Net profit for the year of $34.5 million for ICF, up 

124% from FY14

 – Net loss from ICMT of $7.9 million (2014: $1.2 million loss)
 – Full year distribution of 1.35 cent per security by ICF, 

nil from ICMT

These results are reflective of execution of divestment 
of its overseas operations and deployment of capital 
into the Australian market to generate strong returns 
for unitholders.

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

 – Continuing the sales and settlement momentum 
achieved in Active Lifestyle Estates during FY15,

 – Securing further development approvals for new homes 

within our existing lifestyle parks;

 – Optimising home designs for efficiency and customer 

demand;

 – Growing rental returns and leveraging scale efficiencies;
 – Assessing expansion into greenfield lifestyle park 

development;

 – Continuing to grow Garden Villages occupancy, 

increasing rents above CPI and improving cash margins;

 – Completing the sale of the five Settlers assets classified 

as held for sale.

f. Discontinued operations and assets held for sale
ICF and ICMT completed their exit from the New Zealand 
Students portfolio in December 2014.

g. Capital management
The Group adopts a prudent and considered approach 
to capital management. During the year, the Group 
strengthened its capital position by undertaking an 
$89.1 million capital raising and negotiating a new 
$175 million Australian multilateral debt facility; an 
increase of $45.5 million from the previous facility.

As at 30 June 2015, the current LVR is 22.6%, which is 
below our target LVR of 30-35%. Once the Group deploys 
remaining proceeds from the capital raising and debt 
into further lifestyle parks, the LVR will move towards the 
target range.

h. Distributions
The following distributions were made by ICF during or in 
respect of the year:

 – On 24 February 2015, the directors declared an interim 
distribution of 0.65 cps (2014: 0.50 cps) amounting to 
$5,712,537 which was paid on 18 March 2015.

 – On 25 August 2015, the directors declared a final 

distribution of 0.70 cps (2014: 0.65 cps) amounting to 
$6,205,793, to be paid on 16 September 2015.

The distribution is 71.0% 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. 

i. Outlook
The Trusts are well positioned to continue growing their 
lifestyle parks business with a significant and accretive 
acquisition pipeline in place and significant debt capacity. 
Further growth in sales and settlements volumes is 
expected in FY16 as further projects are launched.

The Trusts will continue to regularly assess the 
performance of their existing assets and where appropriate 
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 9 for Assets and liabilities 
held for sale, Note 13 for Investment properties acquired or 
disposed of during the year, Note 17 for details of Australian 
debt refinanced and Note 22 for Issued units.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

a. Performance Quantum Rights vesting
On 1 July 2015, 3,842,000 Performance Quantum Rights 
(“PQRs”) granted to Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) 
in 2012 vested. As a result, 3,842,000 fully paid stapled 
securities have been issued to the following KMP:

Simon Owen  

2,260,000

Tania Betts 

791,000

Nicole Fisher  

791,000

b. Acquisition of Upstream Bethania
On 3 July 2015, ICMT settled Upstream Bethania, ICMT’s 
second Active Lifestyle Estate in Brisbane, complementing 
Chambers Pines Lifestyle Resort and ICMT’s existing 
Garden Villages in the region. The acquisition price was 
$8.15 million (excluding transaction costs) and was funded 
from the proceeds of the capital raising in October 2014.

This park, now known as Active Lifestyle Estate Bethania, 
is an existing manufactured home community outside 
Brisbane and represents a significant development 
opportunity that will grow the Group’s existing rental 
stream.

c. Execution of Hedging Contract
On 31 July 2015, ICF entered into an interest rate hedge 
collar for $16.0 million with an expiry date of August 
2017. The execution of this hedge means 23.2% of ICF’s 
debt is currently hedged with the intention to gradually 
increase the hedged exposure over the coming months.

d. Acquisition of Big 4 Conjola Lakeside
On 13 August 2015, ICMT announced it had exchanged 
unconditional contracts for the acquisition of Big 4 
Conjola Lakeside in Lake Conjola, NSW. The acquisition 
price is $24.0 million (excluding transaction costs) and 
will be funded from the proceeds of the capital raising 
in October 2014.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2015

As at 30 June 2015, ICMT recorded a net current asset 
deficiency of $322,440,000. This deficiency includes 
retirement village resident loans of $161,878,000, liabilities 
held for sale of $42,041,000 and payables to other 
entities within the Group of $189,635,000. 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. 
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 Trusts have 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 including 
AASB 2012-3 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial 
Liabilities.

The impact of application of this Standard is as follows:

Accounting Standard Impact on the Group

AASB 2012-3

This amendment clarifies that 
the right of set off must be 
available today and must be 
legally enforceable in the normal 
course of business as well as in 
the event of default, insolvency or 
bankruptcy.

The application of this Standard 
did not have any impact on the 
Trusts as retirement village loans 
are already offset. 

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 
ICF and ICMT. 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. 

Annual Report 2015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.

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.

95

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 and liabilities 
held for sale are given at Notes 7 and 9.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued 

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

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.

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. 

Annual Report 201597

n. Inventories 
The Trusts hold inventory in relation to the acquisition and 
development of manufactured homes and service station 
fuel and supplies both 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. 

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.

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, 
tourism cabins and associated amenities.

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. In determining 
the fair value of assets held for sale recent market offers 
have been taken into consideration.

It is the Trusts’ policy to have all investment properties 
externally valued at intervals of not more than two years. 
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.

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

In determining fair values, the group considers relevant 
information including the capitalisation of rental streams 
using market assessed capitalisation rates, expected net 
cash flows discounted to their present value using market 
determined risk adjusted discount rates and other available 
market data such as recent comparable transactions. The 
assessment of fair value of investment properties does not 
take into account potential capital gains tax assessable. 

q. Intangible assets
An intangible asset arising from development expenditure 
related to software is recognised only when the Group 
can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing 
the intangible asset so that it will be available for use, 
how the asset will generate future economic benefits, 
the availability of resources to complete the asset and 
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during its 
development. Costs capitalised include external direct 
costs of materials and service, and direct payroll and 
payroll related costs of employees’ time spent on the 
project.

Following the initial recognition of expenditure, the asset 
is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset 
begins when the development is complete and the asset 
is available for use. Amortisation is over the period of 
expected future benefit.

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.

The Group’s policy applied to capitalised development 
costs is as follows:

Software and associated development to capitalised 
development costs (assets in use)

 – Useful life: Finite Amortisation method using 7 years on 

a straight line basis; and

 –

Impairment test: Amortisation method reviewed at 
each financial year end; closing carrying value reviewed 
annually for indicators of impairment.

Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets 
is capitalised only when it increases the future economic 
benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. 
All other expenditure is expensed as incurred. Gains 
or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible 
asset are measured as the difference between the net 
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the 
asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the asset 
is de-recognised. 

r. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued 

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

POLICIES (CONTINUED)

s. 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 28(j) and 1(z) for information regarding the 
valuation of retirement village resident loans.

t. 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.

u. 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.

v. 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. 

Service station sales revenue represents the revenue 
earned from the provision of products to external parties. 
Sales revenue is only recognised when the significant 
risks and rewards of ownership of the products including 
possession are passed 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.

w. 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 corporate bonds with terms to maturity 
and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows.

Annual Report 2015x. 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.

However, ICMT and its 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 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.

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.

y. 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.

99

z. 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 28. 

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 Trusts. 

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 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. 

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 in 
Note 29.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2015 | continued 

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

A liability is current when:

POLICIES (CONTINUED)

aa. Pending Accounting Standards
AASB 9 Financial Instruments is applicable to reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Trusts 
have not early adopted this standard. This standard 
provides requirements for the classification, measurement 
and de-recognition of financial assets and financial 
liabilities. Changes in the Trusts’ credit risk, which affect the 
value of liabilities designated at fair value through profit 
and loss, can be presented in other comprehensive income. 
The application of the Standard is not expected to have 
any material impact on the Trusts’ financial reporting in 
future periods.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is 
applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2018. The Trusts have not early adopted this 
standard. The standard is based on the principle that 
revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is 
transferred to a customer. It contains a single model that 
applies to contracts with customers and two approaches 
to recognising revenue; at a point in time or over time. 
The model features a contract-based five-step analysis 
of transactions to determine whether, how much and 
when revenue is recognised. It applies to all contracts 
with customers except leases, financial instruments and 
insurance contracts. It requires reporting entities to provide 
users of financial statement with more informative and 
relevant disclosures. The application of the Standard is 
not expected to have any material impact on the Trust’s 
financial reporting in future periods.

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 Trusts’ financial reporting in future reporting 
periods.

bb. 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. 

 –
 –
 –

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 Trusts classify 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 and assets held for 
sale with a combined carrying amount of $601,326,000 
(2014: $504,302,000) (refer Note 9 and Note 13), and 
combined retirement village residents’ loans and liabilities 
held for sale with a carrying amount of $203,919,000 
(2014: $190,122,000) (refer Note 18) which together 
represent the estimated fair value of the Trusts interest in 
retirement villages.

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. The valuation assumption for 
properties to be developed reflect assumptions around 
sales prices for new homes, sales rates, new rental tariffs, 
estimates of capital expenditure, discount rates and 
projected property growth rates.

Annual Report 2015101

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 predominantly in rental properties located in Australia with three reportable segments: 

 – Garden Villages – rental villages; 
 – Settlers Lifestyle – deferred management fee villages; and 
 – Active Lifestyle Estates – comprising long-term and short-term accommodation within lifestyle parks and 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.

7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

a. Details of discontinued operations
The Trust’s investment in its 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 
property business. The Trusts held 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 Trust completed the sale of these 
assets in December 2014. Funds remain in New Zealand to facilitate the final stages of exit.

b. Financial performance
The financial performance of components of the Trusts disposed of or classified as discontinued operations at each

Capitalisation has an inverse 
relationship to valuation.

Market value and growth in value 
have a direct correlation to valuation,

Annual Report 2015113

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 and applying a capitalisation 
rate into perpetuity. 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 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 13 February 2015, ICF refinanced its Australian dollar denominated bank debt facility to a $175.0 million multi-lateral debt 
facility with three Australian banks. $100 million of the facility expires on 12 February 2018 with the remainder expiring on 
12 February 2020. The facility has the following principal financial covenants:

LVR (excluding Settlers) is less than or equal to 55%;

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

 –
 –
 – Total Interest Cover Ratio of at least 2x;
 – Core Interest Cover Ratio (adjusted to exclude development income and associated costs) of at least 1.50x in financial year 

ending 2015 increasing to at least 2.0x in FY2016;

 – Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio not more than 6x up to 30 June 2015, 5.5x up to 31 December 2015, 5x up to 30 June 

2016, 4x after 30 June 2016.

As at 30 June 2015, the facility has been drawn to $63,900,000 (2014: $94,000,000). The carrying value of investment 
property net of resident liabilities at reporting date for the Trusts’ Australian properties pledged as security is $363,720,000 
(2014: $290,375,000).

b. Bank guarantees
ICF has the ability to utilise a portion of its $175.0 million bank facility to provide bank guarantees. Bank guarantees at 
30 June 2015 were $28.8 million (2014: $4.4 million). Refer to Note 26.

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 91 and 114 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 Active Lifestyle Estates Ettalong Beach acquisition. The lease is for an initial three years 
commencing September 2012 with two renewal options of seven years each. The first option period was exercised on 1 July 
2015 for seven years to June 2022. The below table is based on the expectation that the last lease option will be exercised. 

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

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 applicable at the time of acquisition 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 Trusts offset 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
On 23 April 2013, 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 Village acquisition. The lease is for an initial three years 
commencing September 2012 with two renewal options of seven years each. The first option period was exercised on 1 July 
2015 for seven years to June 2022.

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 17 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 11, 17 and 28. 

26. CONTINGENCIES
There are no known contingent liabilities other than the bank guarantees totalling $28.8 million provided for under ICF’s 
$175.0 million bank facility (refer to Note 17). 

Bank guarantees of $18.8 million primarily related to deferred acquisition consideration within ICMT recognised as current 
and non-current payables (refer to Note 16). These guarantees will not be called by the counterparty unless the payable is 
not paid per the terms of the agreement.

There is a $10 million bank guarantee in favour of Ingenia Communities RE Limited issued to satisfy the Responsible Entity’s 
AFSL capital requirements. 

Annual Report 2015

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 2015, after taking into account the effect of 
interest rate swaps, approximately 28% of ICF’s borrowings 
are at a fixed rate of interest (2014: 47%).

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.

27. 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, 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 primarily monitors its capital position through 
the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) which is a key covenant 
under the Group’s $175m multilateral debt facility. LVR 
is calculated as the sum of bank debt, bank guarantees 
and finance leases net of cash at bank as a percentage 
of the value of properties pledged as security. The 
Group’s strategy is to maintain an LVR range of 30-35%. 
As at 30 June 2015, LVR is 22.6% compared to 33.9% at 
30 June 2014.

In addition the Group also monitors Interest Cover Ratio 
and Net Debt: Adjusted EBITDA as defined under the 
multilateral debt facility. At 30 June 2015, the Total Interest 
Cover Ratio was 2.96%; the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 
2.68% and Net Debt: Adjusted EBITDA was 4.58.

28. 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 the forecast is unlikely to

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 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).

f. 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 unitholders’ interest excludes the effect on profit after tax.

i. Effect of appreciation in Australian dollar of 10%:

Foreign exchange risk exposures denominated in:

  United States dollars

Annual Report 2015123

g. 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 Trusts’ 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 Trusts’ 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.

h. 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 Trusts’ 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.

i. 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.

j. 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 29.

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

c. Holdings of the Responsible Entity and its related parties
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 2015 and 30 June 2014.

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 91 and 114 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:
