Chairman’s Letter

JIM HAZEL

The achievements of financial year 2016 
form a strong base for the coming year 
as we seek to deliver long-term stable 
securityholder returns.

Dear Securityholders
I am pleased to report on a 
further year of progress in 
delivering Ingenia’s strategy 
as Ingenia rapidly expanded 
in the fast growing lifestyle 
communities segment of 
the Australian seniors living 
market and delivered growth 
in investor returns. 

The growth in returns achieved 
in the 2016 financial year 
demonstrated the results from 
our strategy to increase our 
investment in the lifestyle and 
holidays portfolio and to grow 
development returns from 
this business. Having entered 
this market with an initial 
investment in 2013, we have 
now established a portfolio of 
27 communities with further 
growth secured, including 
Ingenia’s first Greenfield 
development sites.

Over the last financial year, 
underlying profit increased and 
our revenue, of $107.1 million, 
demonstrated 41% growth on 
the prior year. 

The full year distribution 
for the 2016 financial year, 
of 9.3 cents per security, 
represented an increase of 
15%, building on similar growth 
in 2014 and 2015. We remain 
committed to distribution 
growth while maximising value 
through prudent reinvestment 
to deliver ongoing growth 
in returns.

Much of this growth was due 
to a significant increase in 
the contribution from new 
home sales in our lifestyle 
communities and increased 
revenue from rents as we 
optimised performance and 
saw the benefit of acquisitions  
in key metropolitan and coastal 
markets. Our enhanced scale 
and established platform in this 
market segment positions the 
Group well for further growth 
in sales, rental returns and 
distributions.

The security price closed 
the year at $2.87, above 
the $2.67 security price at 
the beginning of the 2016 
financial year.

Ingenia South West Rocks

While underperforming 
the S&P/ASX Property 300 
Accumulation Index over the 
1 and 3 years to June 2016, 
Ingenia’s returns over the past 1, 
3 and 5 years have been strong, 
with the Group significantly 
outperforming the ASX All 
Ordinaries Accumulation Index 
over each period. We remain 
focussed on continuing to 
deliver results from the business, 
supporting further price growth 
as our earnings grow and our 
business model benefits from 
further scale.

We raised $60 million 
through a capital raising in 
June in order to acquire four 
additional lifestyle and holiday 
communities. The Security 
Purchase Plan announced 
in June raised a further 
$8.5 million and allowed 
existing securityholders to 
participate in Ingenia’s growth. 

With an increase in funding 
capacity secured, progress 
on the divestment of the non-
core Deferred Management 
Fee (Settlers) portfolio and an 
active Distribution Reinvestment 
Plan, we will continue to pursue 
opportunities which meet our 
return requirements.

Driving performance and 
organic growth within our 
Garden Villages rental portfolio 
and continuing to expand in the 
lifestyle and holidays business 
through acquisitions and 
development remain the focus 
of the Group’s strategy.

The achievements of financial 
year 2016 form a strong base 
for the coming year as we seek 
to deliver long-term stable 
securityholder returns. 

I would like to thank Ingenia’s 
dedicated directors and 
management team for their hard 
work over the past 12 months 
and their ongoing commitment 
to Ingenia’s performance and 
strategic goals. 

As your Chairman I would like 
to thank all securityholders for 
your continued support and 
I look forward to meeting with 
you and providing a further 
update on the business at 
our upcoming Annual General 
Meeting to be held in Sydney 
on 15 November 2016.

CEO Update

SIMON OWEN

Over the year Ingenia’s business has continued 
to evolve, enhancing the Group’s exposure 
to lifestyle and holiday communities and 
extending the pipeline for future growth.

Over the 2016 financial year we 
made significant progress on 
the Group’s key objectives – 
further expanding our Australian 
lifestyle business, continuing 
to drive performance from the 
existing asset base and securing 
longer term growth through 
the expansion of the Group’s 
development pipeline. 

We also launched several 
new developments, exceeded 
our sales target and saw the 
benefits of our strategy with 
substantial increases in revenue 
and cashflows supporting 
growth in distributions.

Financial Performance
While Statutory Profit of 
$24.3 million was down 6% on 
the 2015 result, due to a reduced 
tax benefit in line with growing 
profits, Underlying Profit 
from continuing operations of 
$20.2 million, was up 20% on 
the prior comparative period.

Operating cashflow for the 
year of $21.0 million was up 
133% on the prior year driven 
by rental and tourism earnings 
growth and an increase in 
home settlements.

Net Asset Value per security 
(NAV) increased by 5%, 
to $2.45. 

Capital management
Over the year, six new lifestyle 
communities were acquired 
and a further six acquisitions 
secured, supported by capital 
recycling from divested 
assets, the proceeds of a 
successful placement and 
Security Purchase Plan and 
additional debt.

At 30 June 2016, Ingenia’s LVR 
of 24.9% was below the Group’s 
policy range of 30-35% and well 
below the Group’s covenant of 
50%. Following completion of 
pending acquisitions, Ingenia’s 
LVR is expected to be at the 
lower end of the Group’s 
policy range.

Consistent with our focus on 
maintaining funding capacity, 
Ingenia increased its debt 
capacity to $224 million with 
an increase of $24 million in its 
debt facility. Ingenia’s current all 
in cost of debt is now 4.0%. 

Acquisitions
Over the last financial year 
we have rapidly expanded, 
securing growth in an emerging 
asset class with strong long-
term industry fundamentals 
underpinned by a growing 
demand for quality affordable 
housing from an ageing 
population. 

We continue to access off 
market acquisitions in the 
increasingly competitive lifestyle 
communities market, investing 
$70 million, adding over 900 
income generating sites and 
300 approved development 
sites. This acquisition strategy 
has seen Ingenia’s lifestyle and 
holiday communities become 
the key earnings driver across 
the Group. 

Recently announced 
acquisitions are shown 
in the table below.

Portfolio performance
Across the 31 Ingenia Garden 
Villages, occupancy closed 
the year at 90.7%, with rent 
increases also achieved. The 
portfolio’s return was stable 
despite the sale of three non-
core villages in June 2015. 

Across the Settlers Villages, 
income fell as the development 
and conversion program, which 
has delivered significant value 
since commencement, nears 
completion.

The Ingenia lifestyle and 
holidays portfolio continued 
to expand with acquisitions 
in Queensland and NSW 
extending our presence in key 
markets. This business provides 
strong recurrent cash earnings, 
attractive development returns, 
and above all is affordable for a 
growing number of seniors. 

The portfolio continued to build 
returns with rental revenue of 
$33 million reflecting the benefit 
of acquisitions and development 
and strong growth in revenue 
from tourism (up 10% on a like 
for like basis). 

Development
Significant progress was 
made in development, with 
13 communities now under 
development, expansion of 
the future potential pipeline 
to over 2,000 sites and 107 
home settlements. In addition 
we secured our first Greenfield 
developments, supplementing 
our pipeline in key growth 
corridors where existing 
communities are not available 
at appropriate returns.

Outlook
We remain focussed on the 
growth of the Group’s lifestyle 
and holidays portfolio and 
continue to refine our strategy as 
the market for affordable seniors 
housing matures and evolves.

In addition to acquiring and 
repositioning tourism and 
mixed-use parks we secured 
our first, high quality Greenfield 
opportunities to extend our 
pipeline in markets with 
strong demand.

With additional assets secured 
in metropolitan and coastal 
markets and a forecast of more 
than 150 home settlements 
in the 2017 financial year, we 
remain confident of continuing 
growth from our lifestyle and 
holidays business. 

The potential to release 
additional capital for investment 
through the planned divestment 
of the DMF portfolio will provide 
future growth capital for 
this portfolio.

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 Update 
contains greater detail on 
Ingenia’s business.

Ingenia has 
rapidly expanded 
this business 
focussed on 
rental cashflows 
complemented 
by development 
returns

Development

Development provides 
the opportunity to 
improve returns through 
the sale of new homes, 
expand cash yields 
through additional 
ground lease rents, and 
improve the amenity of 
existing communities 
as new homes are 
delivered. 

Ingenia’s development pipeline 
offers attractive returns while 
growing permanent rental 
income.

With a development and sales 
platform in place to support 
accelerated growth, new 
projects were launched and 
107 new home settlements were 
achieved over the 2016 financial 
year. Gross development profit 
increased to $9.4 million (up 
over 80%). 

Ingenia acquired 
its first lifestyle 
community in March 
2013, and has since 
grown the portfolio 
to 27 communities. 

The Ingenia Lifestyle portfolio 
provides exposure to a growing 
demand from Australia’s ageing 
population for affordable age-
appropriate housing. 

Reflecting ongoing growth 
in the portfolio, which is 
located in predominantly 
coastal and metropolitan 
markets, rental revenue 
increased to $33.0 million in 
the 2016 financial year (up 
from $19.8 million the prior 
year). The Portfolio’s EBIT 
contribution of $16.5 million, 
was up by close to 100% on 
prior year, driven by a growing 
rental base and increasing 
development profits.

The core of this portfolio 
is permanent site revenue 
generated from residents who 
generally fund their rental 
payments by government 
pension and rental assistance. 
Residents own their home, but 
pay a land lease rent to locate 
it on Ingenia’s land. 

This represented significant 
growth on the 52 new home 
settlements achieved in the 
prior year. 

Recent acquisitions and 
secured sites, which include 
a DA approved Greenfield 
site in Port Stephens (NSW), 
and contracted or optioned 
Greenfield sites in greater 
Sydney and Upper Coomera 
(QLD) have increased the 
scale and quality of the 
pipeline to over 2,100 potential 
development sites. These 
sites are located primarily 
in metropolitan and coastal 
markets where sales velocity 
and price is expected to 
be strong. 

The launch of Ingenia’s first 
Queensland and Melbourne 
projects (Bethania, Chambers 
Pines and Lara) and ongoing 
demand at Stoney Creek 
in Marsden Park (NSW) is 
expected to support an increase 
in new home settlements, with 
over 150 settlements forecast 
for the 2017 financial year.

This stable cashflow is now

In addition to strong rental 
cashflows from permanent 
homes this portfolio provides 
exposure to complementary 
tourism and development 
returns.

The ongoing growth of this 
portfolio through acquisition 
and development is at the 
core of Ingenia’s strategy.

Ingenia is the largest 
owner-operator 
of seniors’ rental 
accommodation in 
Australia. Stable 
recurring cashflows 
are underpinned 
by government 
payments (pension 
and rent assistance)

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

The portfolio closed the year 
with strong occupancy (90.7%) 
and also increased rent. The 
average weekly rent across 
the portfolio of $321 was up 
$10 (from $311 at June 2015).

These results, combined 
with margin improvement, 
contributed to relatively stable 
revenue from the portfolio 
despite the sale of three assets 
in June 2015. Total revenue 
of $27.5 million was down 
only $0.7 million on the prior 
year and EBIT was stable, at 
$11.0 million.

‘Ingenia Care’, 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 and has continued to grow 
its reach. Over 400 residents 
now access this service.

Ingenia Care extends Ingenia’s 
commitment to resident health 
and well being, enabling 
residents to access primary 
health services, social support, 
transport and government 
funded care packages, assisting 
them to age in place. 

Ingenia Settlers communities provide 
traditional retirement living for self-
funded retirees

Ingenia’s focus is on maximising returns 
while seeking to exit the portfolio at an 
appropriate value.

Through referrals and regular 
dialogue the program is 
increasing the awareness of 
health professionals to the 
benefits of Garden Villages for 
seniors in need of supported 
accommodation. These 
professionals are increasingly 
referring residents to Ingenia’s 
villages.

With Ingenia Care now 
operating in a number of 
Ingenia’s lifestyle communities, 

a new extended care program 
will be trialled in low occupancy 
villages.

Further occupancy and rent 
growth remain a focus in the 
2017 financial year. Combined 
with ongoing community 
engagement, operational 
efficiencies and the growing 
benefit of Ingenia Care, the 
portfolio is positioned to 
continue to improve occupancy 
and grow earnings.

The Ingenia Settlers portfolio 
consists of eight Deferred

communities with over 830 
homes across WA, QLD 
and NSW. 

The overall returns from 
the portfolio reduced in the 
2016 financial year as the 
development program moved 
closer to completion.

Development income across the 
portfolio was down 38% on the 
prior year as stock levels have 
reduced, and lower priced one

largely remain.

With the conversion program 
(which has seen the sale of

completion and no new 
capital committed to future 
development, development 
profits will continue to 
moderate. 

Ingenia is progressing the 
divestment of these assets in 
line with the Group’s strategy to 
focus on Ingenia’s lifestyle and 
holiday communities.

b.  Strategy
The Group’s strategy continues to focus on accelerating 
development of lifestyle communities and identifying ways 
to enhance the operational performance of its asset base 
through effective cost management and identification of 
additional revenue streams. Using a disciplined investment 
framework, the Group plans to acquire further lifestyle 
communities as identified in the recent June 2016 equity 
raising as well as recycling capital from lower yielding 
assets into accretive opportunities.

A key element to achieving growth is efficient capital 
management. During the year, the Group increased its debt 
facility by $25 million to $200 million and subsequent to 
year-end, increased this facility by a further $24 million to  
$224 million. As at 30 June 2016, the facility is drawn 
to $125.3 million (including bank guarantees), which 
represents a loan to value ratio (“LVR”) of 24.9%. LVR is 
well below our target range of 30-35% at 30 June 2016 
following the temporary application of proceeds from the 
June 2016 capital raising against debt. These funds will be 
deployed into the four acquisition opportunities outlined 
to the market, which will move the LVR back into the 
target range.

The key immediate business priorities of the Group are:

 – Continue building velocity in the delivery and sale of new 
lifestyle community homes, with a focus on East Coast 
metro and coastal locations;

 – Acquire additional lifestyle communities as well as invest 

in existing yield assets;

 – Grow occupancy and average room rates for tourism 

rental accommodation;

 – Continue strategy of divesting the Ingenia Settlers 

portfolio and recycle this capital into development of 
lifestyle communities;

 – Continue to gradually grow occupancy rates within the 

Garden Villages portfolio; and

 –

Improve asset cash yields through operational 
efficiencies including revenue optimisation and 
disciplined cost management.

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED 

c.  FY16 Financial Results
Significant investment in lifestyle communities continued during FY16, with the focus on scaling our sales and development 
platform to deliver development pipeline returns. Management has also remained focused on Garden Villages’s occupancy 
as well as room rate and occupancy growth within lifestyle communities.

Overall, FY16 has produced an Underlying Profit from continuing operations of $20.2 million ($3.4 million increase from 
FY15). Statutory profit of $24.3 million (decrease from FY15 of $1.4 million (5.6%). These results are underpinned by a 
significantly higher EBIT contribution from lifestyle communities of $16.5 million, up 98.1% from prior year. 

Operating cashflow for the year was $21.0 million, up 132.8% from the prior year, reflecting growth in recurring rental income 
and new manufactured home settlements growing by 105.8% to 107.

In June 2016, the Group raised $60.0 million from an institutional placement, which will be used to fund four lifestyle 
community acquisitions, including a $33.0 million lifestyle community within the Sydney metro area with significant 
development upside. Over the year, the Group invested an additional $76.1 million (excluding transaction costs) into six 
lifestyle communities. 

The Group has today announced a final distribution of 5.1 cents per security (cps), which brings the full year distribution 
to 9.3 cps. The dividend reinvestment plan will be available to securityholders and the Board reaffirms its commitment 
to further growth in securityholder returns.

d.  Key Metrics
 – Full year distribution of 9.3 cps, up 14.8%.
 – Total Underlying Profit was $20.2 million, up 15.2% from FY15.
 – Total Underlying Profit per security was 13.4 cents, up from 12.3 cents at FY15.
 – Net asset value grew by 11 cents per security to $2.45.
 – Statutory profit was $24.3 million, down 5.6% from FY15.
 – Statutory profit per security was 16.1 cents, down 2.7 cents from FY15.

Segment Performance and Priorities

Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays
Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays now owns 27 lifestyle communities, following settlement of Ocean Lake Caravan Park in 
August 2016. This business is the major focus of growth for the Group offering an affordable housing alternative for seniors 
and tourism residents complemented by a capital light, low risk development cycle, delivering both development profits and 
incremental yield. Over the last year, the earnings contribution from development has grown rapidly with development now 
underway at 13 communities and new turnkey settlement volumes up 106% from FY15. The carrying value of these assets at 
30 June 2016 is $299.7 million (net of finance leases).

Ingenia Lifestyle & Holidays delivered an EBIT contribution of $16.5 million in FY16, of which $9.4 million was attributable to 
development of new manufactured homes. Significant momentum was achieved in settlements during FY16 and indicates 
a growing customer awareness and understanding of the lifestyle communities. Further council approvals and acquisitions 
have seen the development pipeline increase to over 1,400 sites, with an increasing focus on metro locations. The rental 
accommodation earnings of this segment have grown strongly both through acquisitions and improved performance from 
the tourism rental accommodation, despite taking some tourism sites off line to facilitate development. This strong result 
reflects investment in a sales and development framework for new homes with further refinements expected in FY17.  
We remain confident of building on this strong result during the coming financial year.

Strategic Priorities

ii. 
The key strategic priorities for this business are continuing the rapid sales and settlement momentum achieved during 
FY16, securing further development approvals for new homes within our existing communities, optimising home designs for 
efficiency and customer demand, growing rental returns and leveraging scale efficiencies. In FY17, the Group will expand into 
greenfield development and focus on developments in metro locations.

Ingenia Garden Villages
Ingenia Garden Villages comprises 31 rental communities located across the eastern seaboard and Western Australia.  
These communities accommodate more than 1,800 residents, and generate $24.0 million in gross rental income per annum. 
The carrying value of these assets at 30 June 2016 is $134.6 million

Ingenia Garden Villages continues to deliver a consistent stream of recurring cash income for the Group. Whilst the segment 
result is in line with prior year, the earnings have been generated from a reduced asset base due to the sale of three villages 
in late FY15.

Strategic Priorities

ii. 
The key strategic priorities of this business over the coming year are increasing rents above CPI as units turnover, ensuring 
residents are actively engaged and maintaining affordability whilst further seeking opportunities to leverage scale.

Ingenia Settlers
Ingenia Settlers is comprised of eight deferred management fee communities. These communities are located in 
Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia and accommodate more than 800 residents generating income from 
deferred management fees, rental income from communities not yet fully converted and development income from unit 
conversions and community expansion. The carrying value of these assets at 30 June 2016, net of resident loans and lease 
liabilities is $62.5 million.

The Ingenia Settlers result generated $3.8 million EBIT. This is down $2.5 million from prior year, with lower settlement 
volumes and development margins as development continues to approach completion. Following significant capital growth 
in underlying unit value in FY15, which boosted the deferred management fee earnings, the slowing of residential markets in 
Western Australia and Central Queensland resulted in reduced deferred management fee earnings relative to prior year. 

Strategic Priorities

ii. 
The key strategic priority remains divestment of this non-core segment. 

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 a $60.0 million capital raising and negotiating a $25 million increase to its multilateral debt 
facility. Subsequent to 30 June 2016 the Group extended its facility by $24 million and a further $8.5 million was raised from 
the Security Purchase Plan in July 2016.

As at 30 June 2016, the current LVR is 24.9%, which is below our target LVR of 30-35%. Once the Group deploys the 
proceeds from the June capital raising and debt into further lifestyle communities, the LVR will move back within the target 
range.

Annual Report 20167

Inventories, up $4.5 million, include 60 new completed homes, reflecting the Group’s rapidly growing lifestyle community 
development business. This balance will continue to gradually grow as the number of development projects increase.

Investment properties increased by $171.0 million due to acquisition of six lifestyle communities for $81.5 million (including 
transaction costs), development expenditure of $19.9 million, a $7.5 million fair value uplift and a $61.6 million reclassification 
of five deferred management fee communities from assets held for sale.

Borrowings increased by $37.3 million reflecting acquisition and development of lifestyle community assets of $99.1 million 
offset by the $60.0 million June institutional placement proceeds. Full deployment of the placement funds is anticipated 
within the coming months, which will see debt levels increase. 

Retirement village resident loans increased by $45.6 million following reclassification of retirement village resident loans held 
for sale of $42.0 million.

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

k.  FY17 Outlook
The Group remains well positioned to continue growing its lifestyle communities business with a significant and accretive 
acquisition pipeline in place and significant debt capacity. Further accelerated growth in sales and settlements volumes is 
expected in FY17 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.

indemnify Ernst & Young during or since the financial year.

10.  Auditor’s Independence Declaration
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as 
required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 
is set out on page 24.

11.  Auditor Extension
On 15 October 2015 at the recommendation of the Audit 
& Risk Committee, the directors granted an approval for 
the extension of the Group’s audit partner for a further 
one year, when the initial period of five years as permitted 
under the Corporations Act 2001 expired in June 2015. 
The Audit & Risk Committee’s recommendation was based 
on the need to ensure the completion of the audit firm’s 
succession plan for the audit. In doing so, the Audit & Risk 
Committee satisfied itself that the extension will maintain 
the quality of the audit and will not give rise to any conflicts 
of interest.

12.  Rounding of Amounts
Ingenia Communities Group is an entity of the kind referred 
to in ASIC Instrument 2016/191, and in accordance with that 
Class Order, amounts in the financial report and Director’s 
report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, 
unless otherwise stated. 

Annual Report 20169

13.3  Ingenia’s Corporate Strategy
The Group’s strategy is highlighted in the FY16 results 
presentation and the Operational and Financial Review 
section within this Directors’ report.

The Board has linked remuneration outcomes to the 
corporate strategy for medium to long-term returns. 
This is reflected in ensuring there is ongoing earnings 
growth before vesting of the deferred STI component, the 
retention of the second Long Term Incentive (LTI) Return 
on Equity (RoE) hurdle in addition to the requirement that 
Ingenia’s TSR outperform the ASX 300 Industrial Index for 
the second tranche of LTI. 

13.4 Conclusion
Overall, Ingenia’s remuneration framework continues to 
be “fit for purpose”, which is why it remained substantially 
unchanged from 2015. 

Remuneration levels are sufficient to attract and retain key 
executives, the performance measures focus management 
on board priorities for creating incremental value, and 
reward outcomes have varied in line with the Group’s 
performance.

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 15 
November 2016.

Yours sincerely

Norah Barlow ONZM
Chair – Remuneration and Nomination Committee

13.   Message from the Remuneration 
and Nomination Committee

Dear Securityholders

The Board of Ingenia Communities Group (Ingenia) is 
pleased to present the Remuneration Report for FY16.

13.1  Introduction
Ingenia undertakes regular reviews of its executive 
remuneration framework to ensure it is in line with Group 
strategy, group and individual performance and market 
relativities. There were only minor changes in the FY16 Key 
Management Personnel (KMP) remuneration structure.

No major changes to the FY17 KMP remuneration are 
proposed.

13.2  Ingenia’s Performance
The Board has established a strong nexus between 
executive remuneration and Ingenia’s performance and its 
securityholder return.

The Group’s FY16 result, as measured by underlying profit, 
is strong and significantly increased on the prior year, as 
supported by the on-target sales result achieved in the 
development business. 

A key measure in determining the executives’ remuneration 
outcomes is Ingenia’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) 
relative to that of the ASX 300 Industrials Index. Ingenia’s 
TSR over the three years ending 30 June 2016 was 59.0% 
in relation to the TSR of 9.2% for the ASX 300 Industrials 
Index for the same period. 

Ingenia continues to identify opportunities for future 
growth with an expanding development pipeline of over 
1,400 home sites. Our business continues to perform well 
and discussions are continuing in relation to the sale of the 
DMF business, which once completed, will allow the release 
of capital into higher returning opportunities.

FY16 STI outcomes for KMP were in line with Ingenia’s 
strong performance.

The review of NED remuneration is deferred until 
December 2016.

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED 

14.   Remuneration Report (Audited)

14.1    Introduction
The Board presents the Remuneration Report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2016, 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.

14.2 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 (NEDs), the Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 
and senior executives who report directly to the CEO. 

The RNC comprises the following NEDs:

 – Norah Barlow ONZM (Chair) (Appointed 2 December 2015);
 – Amanda Heyworth; and
 – Philip Clark (Chair until 2 December 2015).

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 (a minimum of 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 that directly impact on their remuneration.

b.  External Remuneration Advisers
Guerdon Associates provided independent remuneration advice in respect of KMP and reviewed the rules of the Group’s 
incentive plan. Guerdon Associates were initially engaged in March 2014 and will continue to provide advice in FY17.

Guerdon Associates have been commissioned by, engaged with, and addressed reports directly to the Chair of the RNC.

The Board is satisfied that the remuneration advice from Guerdon Associates was made free from undue influence of the 
KMP in respect of whom the advice related, due to there being no engagement with the remuneration advisors outside of 
the Chair of the RNC. A declaration of independence from Guerdon Associates was provided to the Board in respect of their 
engagement and their reports 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.

14.4 Remuneration of Executive KMP 

 Remuneration Policy

a. 
The Group’s Remuneration Policy is to ensure that remuneration packages properly reflect the person’s duties and 
responsibilities and that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of suitable quality.

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

 – Capability, skills and experience;
 – Ability to impact achievement of the strategic objectives of the Group;
 – Performance of each individual executive KMP;
 – 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 that link the remuneration outcomes to individual and the Group’s performance.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED 

b.  Link between Remuneration and Performance
The Board understands the importance of the relationship between the executive KMP remuneration policy and the Group’s 
performance. Executive KMP remuneration packages are structured to align remuneration outcomes 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 set with reference to the executive KMP’s role, 
responsibilities and performance and remuneration levels for 
similar positions in the market.

STIs are awarded to executive KMP whose achievements, 
behaviour and focus meet the Group’s business plan and 
individual Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measured over 
the financial year. Details of the KPIs are explained below.

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

For achievement of STIs in relation to executive KMP, the 
payment is 50% cash and a 50% deferred equity element 
linked to earnings growth sustainability. 

Deferred STI’s are subject to a malus provision.

LTIs are granted to executive KMP to align their focus with the 
Group’s required Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on 
Equity (ROE) performance measured over three financial years. 

The Board maintains sole discretion over the granting of LTIs.

LTI grants are made in equity to ensure alignment with 
securityholders’ interests.

LTIs are subject to a malus provision.

The table below sets out summary information about the Group’s earnings and movement in securityholder wealth for the 
five years to 30 June 2016, noting that where applicable, certain amounts have been restated for the security consolidation 
that occurred in November 2015:

c.  Mix of Remuneration Components
Executive remuneration packages include a mix of TFR, 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 position remuneration of executive 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 remuneration mix the RNC is aiming to achieve for executives for FY16, expressed as a percentage of total remuneration, 
is detailed in the table below:

CFO

COO

14.5 Total Fixed Remuneration of Executive KMP 
TFR is annual salary, calculated on a total cost basis to include salary-packaged benefits grossed up for FBT, employer 
superannuation contributions 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 TFR levels for executive KMP on an annual basis.

The TFR for each of the executives for FY16 is:

KMP

CEO

CFO

COO(2)

Total

TFR(1)

$650,004

$334,193

$265,241

$1,249,438

(1)  TFR increases for FY16 took effect on 1 October 2015, so they only applied for part of the year.

(2)  The COO’s notional full-time TFR is $330,750. The above TFR is based on a 4 day week.

No increase was made to the CEO’s FY16 TFR. The FY16 TFR increases for the CFO and COO were 2.5% and 5.0% 
respectively. The Board considered these increases reasonable in the context of market remuneration levels for matched 
positions in comparable companies.

Data ranges for the CFO and COO FY16 TFR were provided by Guerdon Associates. The RNC used an element of judgement 
to determine the appropriate positioning within this range. Those recommendations were approved by the Board.

14.6 Rights Plan
The current Rights Plan was approved by securityholders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 12 November 2014. 

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

The Rights Plan provides for the grant of STI and LTI Rights to both executive KMP and other eligible employees.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED 

14.7 Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
Under the FY16 Rights Plan, 50% of the maximum STI for the executive KMP will be paid in cash and 50% will be a deferred 
equity element. The deferred equity component is for a period of 12 months and subject to forfeiture where earnings growth 
is not sustained. The deferral element is rights to INA stapled securities, plus additional stapled securities equal to the value 
of distributions during the deferral period on a reinvestment basis.

(2)  Based on a 4 day working week.

The FY16 STI Rights are subject to the following terms and conditions:

 – A ‘malus’ provision during the deferral period, which means that some or all of the STIP Rights may be forfeited if:

•   the Board determines Ingenia’s earnings growth is not sustainable (in general, this will require earnings growth to be 

5% or more 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 2017;
 – On the vesting date Ingenia will cause the relevant number of Ingenia securities to be issued to the executive in accordance 

with a prescribed formula;

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

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

The KPIs are set with ‘threshold’, ‘target’ and ‘stretch’ performance levels, with entitlements calculated on a pro-rata basis 
between these levels.

The weighting of KPIs for each executive KMP is as follows:

For FY16 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 the FY16 STIP awards as follows:

The CEO’s maximum potential FY16 STIP deferred equity component was approved by securityholders at the AGM held on 
17 November 2015. Any FY17 CEO deferred equity component will be subject to securityholder approval at the 2016 AGM to 
be held on 15 November 2016. 

14.8 Long–Term Incentives

a.  Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
The objective of the Group’s LTIP is to align the ‘at risk’ compensation of executives with long-term securityholder returns 
whilst also acting as a mechanism to retain key talent. 

The FY16 LTIP Rights are subject to the following LTIP Performance Conditions:

i) 70% based on Relative Total Shareholder Return (Relative TSR), and

ii) 30% based on Return on Equity (ROE).

Relative TSR Performance Condition:
The Relative TSR hurdle is growth in Ingenia’s TSR relative to growth in the ASX 300 Industrials Index (Index), measured 
over a three-year period ending on 30 September 2018.

The Index was chosen because the Board considers it transparent and more closely aligned to the Group’s core business 
operations than alternative peer groups.

Total TSR is the growth in the INA 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 performance period.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited16

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED 

Ingenia must outperform the Index for the LTIP rights to vest in the executive KMP. The FY16 LTIP Rights will vest on the 
following basis:

progressively vesting on a straight line 
basis between Threshold and Maximum

Maximum

Index + 6% CAGR

100%

CAGR: compound annual growth rate

ROE Performance Condition:
The ROE Performance Condition is intended to focus executive KMP on improving medium to long-term returns.

ROE is defined as underlying profit divided by weighted average net assets. For FY16, the relevant metric is ROE achieved 
for FY18 on the following basis:

At or Below Threshold 

Greater than 8.0% 

Nil

ROE

% of Rights that vest

Between Threshold and Maximum

Equal to or greater than 9.0%

30% plus an additional amount 
progressively vesting on a straight line basis 
between Threshold and Maximum

Maximum

Equal to or greater than 10.0%

100%

The FY16 LTIP methodology determines security value as the VWAP of Ingenia securities in the 30 day trading period 
ending on the grant date of 1 October 2015 (for the CFO and COO) and 17 November 2015 (for the CEO). 

The number of LTIP Rights granted in FY16 was calculated by dividing the LTIP value by the 30 day VWAP of the Ingenia 
security price as outlined above. Each LTI Right vested equals one Ingenia security plus an additional number of Ingenia 
securities calculated based on the distributions that would have been paid during the relevant period being reinvested. 

FY16 LTIP Rights grants 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.

b.  Performance Quantum Rights (PQRs) Issued in FY14
Prior to FY15, the Board adopted an LTI scheme that provided for the grant of PQRs that entitled the holder to one Ingenia 
stapled security if the performance conditions are met.

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. 

No PQRs have been granted since FY14.

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

Annual Report 201617

The percentage of FY14 PQRs vesting on 1 July 2016 is determined as follows:

Where Group’s actual TSR over the 3 year 
vesting period is:

Percentage of employee’s PQRs that may vest in 
respect of the Scheme Year:

At or above 26% (but below 33%) performance – between

d.  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 determine in its discretion, 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.

e.  LTIP – Change in Control
In the event of a change in control, the board has absolute discretion as to the treatment of unvested LTIP. In exercising 
discretion, the board will take into account:

 – The employee’s length of service in relation to each unvested grant;
 – Performance to the date of the change in control on any performance measures specified for each grant;
 – Any other factors that the Board considers relevant.

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED 

14.11 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 do not 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. To this end, all NEDs have self-funded the purchase of Ingenia securities on market thereby aligning 
their interests with securityholders. Details are shown below in Section 14.12.

The Board has introduced a policy guideline for NEDs 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 FY16 and FY15:

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies

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

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

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

 –

 –

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

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

The financial report as at and for the year ended 
30 June 2016 was authorised for issue by the directors 
on 23 August 2016.

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 Instrument 2015/838, 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 as permitted by 
Instrument 2016/191.

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 2016, the Group recorded a net current asset 
deficiency of $194,748,000. This deficiency includes 
retirement village resident loans of $207,483,000. 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
No new or revised standards and interpretations were 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that 
are relevant to the Group during the period.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Annual Report 201631

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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.  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.

g.  Foreign Currency

Functional and presentation currencies

i. 
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.

h.  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 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.

Plant and Equipment

i. 
Plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. 
Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the 
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 
require replacing 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.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

j. 
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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.

Impairment of Non-financial Assets

k. 
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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

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.

Inventories 

n. 
The Group holds inventory in relation to the acquisition 
and development of manufactured homes and service 
station fuel and supplies both within its Lifestyle & Holidays 
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 based on 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 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.

Investment Property

p. 
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 certain assets, 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.

Intangible Assets

q. 
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.

Annual Report 201633

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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 initially 
recognised 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. 

Payables

r. 
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. 

s.  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.

t.  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 1(z) and 26(k) for information regarding the 
valuation of retirement village resident loans.

u.  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.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited34

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Issued Equity

v. 
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.

w.  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 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 Lifestyle & Holidays 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 
attached conditions 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.

x.  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.

y. 

Income Tax

Current income tax

i. 
Under the current tax legislation, ICF and its subsidiaries 
are not liable to pay Australian income tax if their 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. ICMT and its wholly-owned subsidiaries 
formed a tax consolidated group on 1 July 2012. The ICMT 
tax consolidated group is 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.

Annual Report 201635

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 based on the 
nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability, and 
the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained at Note 26.

aa.  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.

bb.  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.

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. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 
temporary differences only if it is probable that future 
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary 
differences. Income taxes related to items recognised 
directly in equity are recognised in equity and not against 
income. Critical accounting estimates and judgements 
are continually evaluated and are based on historical 
experience and other factors, including expectations of 
future events that may have a financial impact on the 
Trust and that are believed to be reasonable under the 
circumstances.

iii.  Tax consolidation
Each of the Company and ICMT and their respective 
subsidiaries had formed a tax consolidation group by 
1 July 2012, 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.

z.  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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

cc.  Pending Accounting Standards
The Group has not early adopted the following standards, 
interpretations, or amendments that have been issued but 
are not yet effective: 

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 if, 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 Group is currently assessing the impact 
of this standard, however it does not expect it to have 
a material impact on future reporting.

AASB 16 Leases is applicable to reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group has 
not early adopted this standard. This standard provides 
requirements for classification, measurement, and 
disclosure of all leases with a term of more than 12 months 
unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lease 
must now measure right-of-use assets similarly to 
other non-financial assets and lease liabilities similarly 
to other financial liabilities. Assets and liabilities arising 
from a lease are initially measured on a present value 
basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable 
lease payments (including inflation-linked payments) 
and payments made in optional periods, if the lessee is 
reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the 
lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. 
The Group is currently the lessee of two non-cancellable 
operating leases, which will be included under this new 
standard. These leases relate to the Group’s Sydney 
and Brisbane offices, which have future minimum lease 
payments totalling $2,527,000 at 30 June 2016. The Group 
is also the lessee of four finance leases (relating to the 
land component of investment properties), which are not 
expected to be materially impacted by the new standard 
because they are already substantially treated in the 
manner prescribed by the new standard. 

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

dd.  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 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.

Valuation of investment property

i. 
The Group has investment properties with a carrying 
amount of $710,746,000 (2015: $601,326,000) 
(refer Note 12 and Note 9), and retirement village 
residents’ loans with a carrying amount of $207,483,000 
(2015: $203,919,000) (refer Note 17 and Note 9), which 
together represent the estimated fair value of the 
Group’s property business.

Annual Report 201637

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.

 Calculation of deferred management fee (“DMF”)

vii. 
DMF is recognised by the Group over the estimated period 
of time the property will be leased by the resident, and is 
realised upon exit of the resident. DMF is based on various 
inputs including the initial price of the property, estimated 
length of stay of the resident, various contract terms and 
projected price of property at time of re-leasing.

b. 

 Critical Judgements in Applying the Entity’s 
Accounting Policies

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

3.  Segment information

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

 –
 –

 –

Ingenia Garden Villages – rental communities; 

Ingenia Settlers – deferred management fee 
communities; and 

Ingenia Lifestyle & Holidays – lifestyle communities 
comprising permanent and tourism accommodation 
and the development and 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 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”.

The results of the Group are affected by the seasonality 
of lifestyle communities. Occupancy rates of tourism 
cabins are typically higher in the period December through 
to March each year due to their geographic location and 
summer holiday months increasing demand for holiday 
bookings.

2. 

 Accounting estimates and judgements 
(continued)

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, and 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. Counterparty valuations 
are normally 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 24 for assumptions used in 
determining the fair value.

v. 

  Valuation of assets acquired in business 
combinations

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

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 2016.

8.  Discontinued operations 
The Group completed the sale of the New Zealand Students business in December 2014. Accordingly, there were no results 
of discontinued operations for 2016. The Group’s 2015 prior comparative period results of ‘disposed of or discontinued 
operations’ were a loss of $178,000 and net cash outflows of $1,657,000.

 Assets and liabilities held for sale

9. 
As disclosed at 31 December 2015, the five Settlers assets held-for-sale at 30 June 2015 were deemed to no longer meet 
the required criteria to maintain such classification. Accordingly, the assets were transferred back to investment property 
($61,598,000), and the associated loans were transferred back to retirement village resident loans ($42,041,000).

Relationship of 
unobservable input 
to fair value

As costs are fixed in 
nature, occupancy has 
a direct correlation to 
valuation (i.e. 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.

Lifestyle & Holidays

Capitalisation method 
(for existing rental 
streams)

Short-term occupancy 

15% - 30% for powered 
and camp sites;  
45% - 70% for  
tourism and short  
term rental

Higher the occupancy, 
the greater the value. 

Residential occupancy

100%

Operating profit margin

30% - 70% dependent 
upon short-term 
and residential 
accommodation mix

Higher the profit margin, 
the greater the value. 

Capitalisation rate

8.0% - 13.0%

Discounted cash 
flow (for future 
development)

Discount rate

13% - 15%

Capitalisation has an 
inverse relationship to 
valuation.

Discount rate has an 
inverse relationship to 
valuation.

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.

12.   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.

 –
 –

12 February 2018 ($100.0 million); and

12 February 2020 ($100.0 million)

As at 30 June 2016 the facility has been drawn to $99.1 million (30 June 2015: $63.9 million). The carrying value of 
investment property net of resident liabilities at reporting date for the Group’s Australian properties pledged as security is 
$470.3 million (30 June 2015: $363.7 million).

b.  Bank Guarantees
The Group has the ability to utilise its bank facility to provide bank guarantees, which were $26.2 million at 30 June 2016 
(2015: $28.8 million). Refer to Note 23 for further detail.

c.  Finance Leases
The Group has entered into finance leases for the following lifestyle communities:

i.  Gosford City Council for the land and facilities of Ettalong Holiday Village

ii.  Crown leases for the land of One Mile Beach Holiday Park

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. 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.

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

At the Annual General Meeting on 17 November 2015, securityholders voted in favour of a consolidation of the Group’s 
stapled securities. The Group consolidated six stapled securities into one stapled security with effect from 19 November 
2015. Where the consolidation resulted in a fraction of a security being held by a securityholder, that fraction was rounded 
up to the nearest whole security.

d.  Terms of Securities
All securities are fully paid and rank equally with each other for all purposes. Each security entitles the holder to one vote,

23.  Contingent liabilities
There are no known contingent liabilities other than the bank guarantees totalling $26.2 million provided for under the 
$200.0 million bank facility. Bank guarantees primarily relate to deferred acquisition consideration ($15.0 million) and the 
Responsible Entity’s AFSL capital requirements ($10.0 million). 

24.  Share-based payment transactions
The Group’s current Rights Plan provides for the issuance of rights to eligible employees, which upon a determination by the 
Board that the performance conditions attached to the rights have been met, result in the issue of stapled securities in the 
Group for each right. The Rights Plan was approved at the 17 November 2015 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and contains 
the following:

a.  Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) 
STIP performance rights are awarded to eligible employees whose achievements, behaviour, and focus meet the Group’s 
business plan and individual Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measured over the financial year. STIP rights are subject to 
a one year vesting deferral period from the issue date and allow for certain lapsing conditions within the deferral period, 
should certain conditions occur. Payment of STIP rights are 50% cash and a 50% deferred equity element linked to earnings 
growth sustainability.

The deferred expense for conditional STIP rights recognised for the period is $345,064 (2015: $86,356) and is based on an 
estimate of the Group’s and individual employee’s current period performance. The total value of STIP rights is subject to 
adjustment up until the final full-year audited result is known and KPIs reliably measured, being 1 October 2016.

b.  Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) 
LTIP performance rights are granted to individuals to align their focus with the Group’s required Total Shareholder Return 
(TSR) and Return on Equity (ROE), as measured over three financial years. TSR is benchmarked against the ASX 300 
Industrials Index, and contributes 70%, whilst ROE is benchmarked against internal targets, and contributes 30%. The ROE 
component is a new inclusion for the year ended 30 June 2016. Payment of LTIP rights is in equity, in order to increase 
alignment with securityholder’s interests. 

LTIP rights replaced the Performance Quantum Rights (PQRs) for the year ended 30 June 2015. The last remaining PQRs are 
due to vest on 1 July 2016. 

The number of LTIP rights that will vest depends on the TSR and ROE achieved, and is also conditional on the eligible 
employee being employed by the Group at the relevant vesting date. One right equates to one security in the Group.

the financial year was $612,459 (2015: $590,928).

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED

25.  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 $200.0 million multilateral debt facility. LVR is calculated as the sum of bank debt, bank guarantees, finance leases, 
and interest rate swaps, less 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 2016, LVR is 24.9% compared to 22.6% at 30 June 2015.

In addition the Group also monitors Interest Cover Ratio and Net Debt: Adjusted EBITDA as defined under the multilateral 
debt facility. At 30 June 2016, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 4.46; the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 3.73 and Net Debt: 
Adjusted EBITDA was 4.05.

26.  Financial instruments

Introduction

a. 
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 Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing 
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 
Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing 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 Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing 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 Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing 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.

Interest Rate Risk

b. 
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 Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing policy. The policy sets minimum and maximum levels of fixed 
rate exposure over a ten-year time horizon.

At 30 June 2016, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 28% of the Group’s borrowings 
are at a fixed rate of interest (2015: 28%).

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.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

d. 
The impact of an increase or decrease in average interest rates of 1% (100 bps) 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).

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.

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

Annual Report 201659

26.  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 Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing 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.

Liquidity Risk

i. 
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 Investment, 
Derivatives, and Borrowing 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 
Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing 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.

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 Group’s financial instruments that were measured and recognised at fair value at reporting 
date:

Financial assets/ 
financial liabilities

Valuation technique(s) and 
key inputs

Significant unobservable 
inputs

Relationship of 
unobservable inputs  
to fair value

Retirement village 
resident loans

Deferred management 
fee accrued

Derivative interest rate 
swaps

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

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

Net present value of future 
cash flows discounted at 
market rates adjusted for the 
Group’s credit risk.

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

Estimated length of stay of 
residents based on life tables.

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

Estimated length of stay of 
residents based on life tables.

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

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 Group’s vision is to create Australia’s best lifestyle 
communities offering affordable permanent and tourism 
rental accommodation with a focus on the seniors 
demographic. The Board is committed to delivering 
continued earnings and security price growth to 
securityholders and providing a supportive community 
environment to both its permanent residents and 
holidaymakers.

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 Annual Report.

The directors’ report is a combined directors’ report that 
covers both Trusts for the full year ended 30 June 2016 
(the “current period”).

Operating and financial review

ICF and ICMT Overview

a. 
ICF and ICMT are two of the entities that form 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 and lifestyle communities 
across Australia. Its real estate assets at 30 June 2016 were 
valued at $496.8 million (net of finance leases and resident 
loans), being 26 lifestyle communities (Ingenia Lifestyle & 
Holidays), 31 rental villages (Ingenia Garden Villages), and 
eight deferred management fee communities (Ingenia 
Settlers). The Group is in the ASX 300 with a market 
capitalisation of approximately $500.0 million.

b.  Strategy
The strategies of ICF and ICMT are aligned with the 
Group’s strategy of continuing to be focused on further 
accelerating development of lifestyle communities and 
identifying ways to enhance the operational performance 
of its asset base through both effective cost management 
and identification of additional revenue streams. Using a 
disciplined investment framework, the Group will continue 
to acquire further lifestyle communities as identified in the 
recent June 2016 equity raising as well as recycling capital 
from underperforming assets into accretive opportunities.

A key element to achieving growth is efficient operational 
and capital management. During the year, the Group 
increased its debt facility by $25.0 million to $200.0 million 
and subsequent to year-end has increased this facility by a 
further $24.0 million to $224.0 million. As at 30 June 2016,  
the facility is drawn to $125.3 million (including bank 
guarantees), which represents a loan to value ratio (“LVR”) 
of 24.9%. LVR is well below our target range of 30-35% 
at 30 June 2016 following the temporary application of 
proceeds from the recent June equity raising against debt 
prior to deployment into the four acquisition opportunities 
outlined to the market, which will move the LVR back into 
the target range.

c.  FY16 Financial Results
Significant investment in lifestyle communities continued 
during FY16, with the focus on bedding down the sales 
and development platform to deliver development 
pipeline returns. Management has also remained focused 
on occupancy for rental communities as well as the room 
rate and occupancy growth within the lifestyle tourism 
communities.

In June 2016, the Group raised $60.0 million from an 
institutional placement, which will be used to fund four 
lifestyle community acquisitions, including a $33.0 million 
lifestyle community within the Sydney metro area with 
significant development upside. Over the year, the Group 
invested an additional $74.1 million (excluding transaction 
costs) into six lifestyle communities.

d.  Key Metrics
 – Net Profit (continuing operations) for the year 
for ICF $25.9 million, down 19% from FY15.

 – Net Profit (continuing operations) for the year for 

ICMT of $0.06 million (2015: $4.1 m loss).

 – Full year distribution of 9.3 cents per security by ICF, 

nil from ICMT.

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED 

Operating and financial review (continued) 

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

 – Continue building velocity in the delivery and sale of new 
lifestyle community homes, with a focus on East Coast 
metro and coastal locations;

 – Acquire additional lifestyle communities as well as invest 

in existing yield assets;

 – Grow occupancy and average room rates for lifestyle 

tourism communities;

 – Continue strategy of divesting the Ingenia Settlers 

portfolio and recycle this capital into development of 
lifestyle communities;

 – Continue to gradually grow occupancy rates within 

rental communities; and

 –

Improve asset cash yields through operational 
efficiencies including revenue optimisation and 
disciplined cost management.

f.  Capital Management
The Trusts adopt a prudent and considered approach 
to capital management. During the year, the Group 
strengthened its capital position by undertaking a  
$60.0 million capital raising and negotiating a  
$25.0 million increase to its multilateral debt facility. 
Subsequent to 30 June 2016, a further $24.0 million facility 
increase is in place and a further $8.5 million was raised 
from the Security Purchase Plan in July 2016.

As at 30 June 2016, the current LVR is 24.9%, which is 
below our target LVR of 30-35%. Once the Group deploys 
the proceeds from the June capital raising and debt into 
further lifestyle communities, the LVR will  move back 
within the target range.

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

 – On 23 February 2016, the directors declared an interim 
distribution of 4.2 cps (2015: 3.9 cps) amounting to 
$6,306,884 which was paid on 16 March 2016.

 – On 23 August 2016, the directors declared a final 

distribution of 5.1 cps (2015: 4.2 cps) amounting to 
$8,964,628, to be paid on 14 September 2016.

The full-year distribution is 41.8% 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. 

h.  Outlook
The Trusts are well positioned to continue growing their 
lifestyle communities business with a significant and 
accretive acquisition pipeline in place and significant 
debt capacity. Further accelerated growth in sales and 
settlements volumes is expected in FY17 as further 
projects are launched.

The Trusts will continue to regularly assess the 
performance of its 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 10 for Investment properties acquired or disposed 
of during the year, Note 14 for details of Australian debt 
refinanced and Note 17 for issued units.

On 18 August 2016, ICF finalised an increase to its 
Australian multilateral debt facility limit of $24.0 million 
to $224.0 million. The revised facility has an expiry of 
$99.0 million on 12 February 2018 and $125.0 million on 
12 February 2020 with facility pricing unchanged for the 
two participating banks. The Loan to Value Ratio and 
Interest Cover Ratio covenants are unchanged, whilst the 
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA covenant has been removed.

e.  Final FY16 Distribution
On 23 August 2016, the directors of ICF resolved to declare 
a final distribution of 5.1 cps (2015: 4.2 cps) amounting 
to $8,964,628 to be paid at 14 September 2016. The 
full-year distribution is 41.8% tax deferred and the dividend 
reinvestment plan will apply to the final distribution.

Likely developments
The Trusts will continue to pursue strategies aimed at 
improving cash earnings, profitability and market share 
within the rental property industry during the next financial 
year, with a continuing focus on the development and 
acquisition of land lease communities.

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

Annual Report 201673

Environmental regulation
The Trusts have policies and procedures in place to ensure that, where operations are subject to any particular and 
significant environmental regulation under the law of Australia, those obligations are identified and appropriately addressed. 
The directors have determined that there has not been any material breach of those obligations during the financial year.

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

Interests of directors of the Responsible Entity
Units in each Trust held by directors of the Responsible Entity or associates of the directors as at 30 June 2016 were:

Other Information
Fees paid to the Responsible Entity and its associates, and the number of units in each Trust held by the Responsible Entity 
and its associates as at the end of the financial year are set out in Note 25 in the financial report.

Auditor’s independence declaration
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on 
page 74.

Auditor extension
On 15 October 2015 at the recommendation of the Audit & Risk Committee, the directors granted an approval for the 
extension of the Group’s audit partner for a further one year, when the initial period of five years as permitted under the 
Corporations Act 2001 expired in June 2015. The Audit & Risk Committee’s recommendation was based on the need to 
ensure the completion of the audit firm’s succession plan for the audit. In doing so, the Audit & Risk Committee satisfied itself 
that the extension will maintain the quality of the audit and will not give rise to any conflicts of interest.

Rounding of amounts
The Trusts are of a kind referred to in Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, 
relating to the “rounding off’’ of amounts in this report and in the financial report. Amounts in these reports have been 
rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors of the Responsible Entity.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

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.

The financial report as at and for the year ended  
30 June 2016 was authorised for issue by the directors 
on 23 August 2016.

b.  Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
which 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 Instrument 2015/838, 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 within this 
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 as permitted by 
Instrument 2016/191.

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

As at 30 June 2016, ICMT recorded a net current asset 
deficiency of $202,788,000. This deficiency includes 
retirement village resident loans of $207,483,000 
and payables to other entities within the Group of 
$288,768,560. 

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

No new or revised standards and interpretations were 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board 
that are relevant to the Group during the period.

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 related 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.

Annual Report 201681

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued) 

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess 
of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and 
the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and 
any previous interest held 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.  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.

g.  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.

iii.  Translation of foreign currency transactions
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.

iv. 

 Translation of financial statements of foreign 
subsidiaries

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

 Plant & Equipment

h 
Plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such 
cost includes the cost of replacing part of the 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 require 
replacing 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.

Leases

i. 
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.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

j. 
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued) 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

k. 
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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

l. 
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. 

Inventories 

n. 
The Trusts hold inventory in relation to the acquisition 
and development of manufactured homes and service 
station fuel and supplies both within its Lifestyle & Holidays 
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 interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated 
with 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.

Investment Property

p. 
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. 

Intangible Assets

q. 
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.

Annual Report 20161. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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. 

Payables

r. 
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.

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

83

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.

Issued Units

u. 
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 Lifestyle & Holidays 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.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued) 

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.

x. 

Income Tax

Current income tax

i. 
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. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 
temporary differences only if it is probable that future 
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary 
differences. Income taxes related to items recognised 
directly in equity are recognised in equity and not against 
income. Critical accounting estimates and judgements 
are continually evaluated and are based on historical 
experience and other factors, including expectations of 
future events that may have a financial impact on the 
Trust and that are believed to be reasonable under the 
circumstances.

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.

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 22.

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. 

Annual Report 201685

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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. 

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

 –

 –

 –

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Trusts have 
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of 
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability 
and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained in 
Note  23. 

aa.  Pending Accounting Standards
The trusts have not early adopted the following standards, 
interpretations, or amendments that have been issued but 
are not yet effective:

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 Group is currently assessing the 
impact of this standard, however it does not expect it to 
have a material impact on future reporting.

AASB 16 Leases is applicable to reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group has 
not early adopted this standard. This standard provides 
requirements for classification, measurement, and 
disclosure of all leases with a term of more than 12 months 
unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lease must 
now measure right-of-use assets similarly to other non-
financial assets and lease liabilities similarly to other 
financial liabilities. Assets and liabilities arising from a 
lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The 
measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments 
(including inflation-linked payments), and also includes 
payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is 
reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the 
lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. 
The Group is currently the lessee of two non-cancellable 
operating leases which would be captured under this 
new standard. They relate to the Sydney and Brisbane 
offices with have future minimum lease payments 
totalling $2,527,000. The Group is also the lessee of four 
existing finance leases which relate to the land of certain 
investment properties. The application of the Standard 
is not expected to have any material impact on these 
finance leases.

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.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited86

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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 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.

Valuation of investment property

i. 
The Trusts have investment properties with a combined 
carrying amount of $710,746,000 (2015: $601,326,000) 
(refer Note 7 and 10), and combined retirement village 
residents’ loans of $207,483,000 (2015: $203,919,000) 
(refer Note 7 and 15) 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.

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: 

 –
 –

 –

Ingenia Garden Villages – rental communities; 

Ingenia Settlers – deferred management fee 
communities; and 

Ingenia Lifestyle & Holidays – lifestyle communities 
comprising permanent and tourism accommodation 
and the development 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”.

Income tax benefit (continued)

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.

6.  Discontinued operations
The Trusts completed the sale of the New Zealand Students business in December 2014. Accordingly there were no results 
of discontinued operations for 2016 other than a non cash write-down of investment totalling $3,874,000 within ICF. 
The 2015 prior year comparative results of the Trusts disposed of or classified as discontinued operations were: profit of 
$2,587,000 (ICF) and loss of $3,854,000 (ICMT), along with a net cash outflows of $1,657,000.

7.  Assets and liabilities held for sale
As disclosed at 31 December 2015, the five Settlers assets held-for-sale at 30 June 2015 were deemed to no longer meet 
the required criteria to continue such classification. Accordingly, the assets were transferred back to investment property 
($61,598,000), and the associated loans were transferred back to retirement village resident loans ($42,041,000).

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 18 February 2016, the Group increased its Australian debt facility limit by $25.0 million. The additional facility matures 
12 February 2020 and uses the existing facility covenants and pricing.

The total $200.0 million multi-lateral debt facility is with three Australian banks. The facility maturity dates are:

12 February 2018 ($100.0 million); and

12 February 2020 ($100.0 million)

As at 30 June 2016 the facility has been drawn to $99.1 million (30 June 2015: $63.9 million). The carrying value of 
investment property net of resident liabilities at reporting date for the Group’s Australian properties pledged as security is 
$470.3 million (30 June 2015: $363.7 million).

b.  Bank Guarantees
The Group has the ability to utilise its bank facility to provide bank guarantees, which at 30 June 2016 were $26.2 million 
(2015: $28.8 million).

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.

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.

20.  Contingencies
There are no known contingent liabilities other than the bank guarantees totalling $26.2 million provided for under the 
$200.0 million bank facility. Bank guarantees primarily relate to deferred acquisition consideration ($15.0 million) and the 
Responsible Entity’s AFSL capital requirements ($10.0 million).

21.  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 $200 million multilateral debt facility. LVR is calculated as the sum of bank debt, bank guarantees, finance leases, 
and interest rate swaps, less 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 2016, LVR is 24.9% compared to 22.6% at 30 June 2015.

In addition the Group also monitors Interest Cover Ratio and Net Debt: Adjusted EBITDA as defined under the multilateral 
debt facility. At 30 June 2016, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 4.46; the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 3.73 and Net Debt: 
Adjusted EBITDA was 4.05.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED

22.  Financial instruments

Introduction

a. 
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 Investments, Derivatives, and 
Borrowing 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 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 Investments, Derivatives, 
and Borrowing 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 Investments, Derivatives, and Borrowing 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 Investments, Derivatives, 
and Borrowing 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.

Interest Rate Risk

b. 
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 Investments, 
Derivatives, and Borrowing Policy. The policy sets 
minimum and maximum levels of fixed rate exposure over 
a ten-year time horizon.

At 30 June 2016, after taking into account the effect of 
interest rate swaps, approximately 28% of ICF’s borrowings 
are at a fixed rate of interest (2015: 28%).

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.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

d. 
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).

Annual Report 2016103

Liquidity Risk

i. 
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 investment, derivatives, and borrowing 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 investment, derivatives, and borrowing 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.

22.  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 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’ Investment, 
Derivatives, and Borrowing 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 | CONTINUED

22.  Financial instruments (continued) 
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.

The above ICF balances are netted against the receivable from related party balance on the face of the balance sheet. The 
above ICMT balances are included in the payable to related party balance on the face of the balance sheet, which is shown 
net of related party receivables.

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 2016 and 30 June 2015.

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, amended on and effective from 1 July 2015, encompassing ICH, ICF and 
ICMT and their respective subsidiaries. The revised deed stipulates that interest is calculated on the intercompany balances 
between ICH, ICF and ICMT for the preceding month. Interest is charged at a margin of 3.5% on the monthly Australian Bank 
Bill Swap Reference Rate. 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.
