Operating and Financial Review

Ingenia Communities Group Overview
The Group is a leading owner, operator and developer of a diversified portfolio of senior lifestyle and holiday communities 
across Australia. The Group is in the ASX 300 with a market capitalisation of approximately $536 million. Its real estate 
assets span key metropolitan and coastal markets, with a carrying value of $693.5 million at 30 June 2017, comprising 
of 33 lifestyle communities, 31 rental communities and three retirement (deferred management fee) communities. 

The Group’s vision is to create Australia’s best lifestyle communities of affordable permanent and tourism rental 
accommodation, focusing 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 and 
short-term residents.

Our Values
At Ingenia we build community using a foundation of integrity and respect, creating a place where people have a sense of 
connection and belonging. We strive for continuous improvement in our resident, guest and visitor service, to ensure that 
they receive the best possible support, attention and experience every day. Whether it’s time to play, stay, rest or renew, 
we deliver freedom of choice with a range of lifestyle and holiday options.

Strategy
The Group’s strategy is to accelerate the development of Lifestyle and Holiday communities coupled with enhancing the 
financial performance of its asset base by growing revenue streams and effective cost and capital management.

Increasing the velocity and margin on new home sales, repositioning and upgrading existing communities and targeting 
defined sector adjacencies and innovations are key growth priorities of the Group. In FY18 the Group is targeting the 
sale and development of over 260 new homes and is forecasting over 350 new homes for the 2019 financial year. Using 
a disciplined investment framework, the Group plans to continue its focus on metropolitan and coastal locations through 
portfolio targeted acquisitions and divestments.

The key immediate business priorities of the Group are: 

 – Achieve at least 260 new home settlements in FY18 and position for target of over 350 homes in FY19;

 – Continue to focus on metropolitan and coastal locations through portfolio remixing and development;

 –

Improve performance of existing assets through repositioning and by driving revenue growth and leveraging the Group’s 
operating and sales platform;

 – Expand development margins through innovative home designs and building efficiencies.

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED 

FY17 Financial Results
Significant investment in Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays continued during FY17, with a focus on building the Group’s 
development pipeline and lifestyle and tourism portfolio’s, through eight strategic acquisitions in coastal and metropolitan 
markets. Management has also remained focused on occupancy and rental growth within the Ingenia Gardens and the 
Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays rental assets.

In October 2016 in line with the Group’s asset recycling strategy, five of the eight Settlers’ assets were sold to the Forum 
Group. The Group retains a 15% share in these assets. The divestment provided cash proceeds of $41 million which were 
deployed into acquiring lifestyle and holiday communities in key metropolitan and coastal markets during FY17. 

FY17 has delivered a statutory profit of $26.4 million, which is up 8.8% on prior year. Underlying Profit from continuing 
operations was $23.5 million which represents an increase of $3.4 million (16.7%) on the prior year. The underlying result is 
underpinned by a significantly higher EBIT contribution from the Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays segment of $28.3 million, up 
72% from prior year. The statutory result is further impacted by an uplift in valuations of investment property offset by the 
impact of the loss on the sale of the Settlers portfolio during the year.

Operating cash flow for the year was $30.3 million, up 43.9% from the prior year, reflecting growth in recurring rental income 
and new lifestyle home settlements growing by 97.2% to 211.

In May 2017, the Group raised $74 million through a placement and entitlement offer, which was raised to invest in four 
lifestyle community acquisitions and accelerate development. Prior to 30 June, two of these acquisitions, being Bonny Hills 
and Durack have settled, with the remaining two acquisitions expected to settle in August 2017. Over the year the Group 
invested an additional $174.8 million (including transaction costs) into eight newly acquired lifestyle communities.

The Group has today announced a final distribution of 5.1 cents, which brings the full year distribution to 10.2 cents. The 
dividend reinvestment plan will be available to securityholders and the Board reaffirms its commitment to further growth 
in securityholder returns.

Key Metrics
 – Statutory profit was $26.4 million, up 8.8% from FY16

 – Underlying Profit was $23.5 million, up 16.7% from FY16

 – Full year distributions of 10.2 cents per security, up 9.7% from FY16

 – Cash flow was $30.3 million, up 43.9% from FY16

 – EBIT was $32.1 million, up 32.6% from FY16

 – Statutory profit per security was 14.6 cents, down 1.5 cents from FY16

 – Underlying Profit per security was 13.0 cents, down 0.3 cents from FY16

 – Net asset value grew by 5 cents per security to $2.50

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

Segment Performance and Strategic Priorities

Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays - consolidated
At 30 June 2017, Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays comprised 33 lifestyle communities that offer an affordable community 
experience for seniors and tourism guests. Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays EBIT grew 72% on FY16 to $28.3 million. 

During FY17 the Group continued to expand both its development and rental assets, completing eight acquisitions for $175.0 
million (including transaction costs). The carrying value of the Lifestyle and Holidays assets at 30 June 2017 is $514.8 million. 
A summary of these acquisitions is tabled below:

New South Wales

Queensland

Ingenia Holidays Avina (Sydney)

Ingenia Holidays Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast)

Ingenia Holidays Ocean Lake (South Coast)

Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut (Far North QLD)

The earnings contribution from development has grown rapidly with 211 new turnkey settlements in FY17, an increase of 
104 homes (97.2%) compared to prior year. Development is progressing at 12 communities. The Glenwood acquisition and 
securing further development approvals at existing properties will increase the development pipeline to over 2,370 sites.

This strong result reflects increased awareness and interest in the market and Ingenia’s investment in a sales and 
development platform for new homes. 

Continuing to grow rental income and leveraging scale efficiencies was a focus of the Group during FY17. The rental portfolio 
grew EBIT to $17.4 million in FY17 up 58.7% on prior year. 

Tourism and annual rental income growth of $9.0 million has been driven largely through new acquisitions including Ingenia 
Holidays Avina in October 2016 and Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut in March 2017. This, combined with a continued focus 
on leveraging our database and building our brand position within the tourism market, supported 43.8% growth compared 
to prior year. 

Strategic Priorities:
Continuing into FY18, the Group will deliver its first greenfield developments and continue its expansion within the lifestyle 
market. The strategic priorities for Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays are; continuing the accelerated sales and settlement 
momentum achieved during FY17; optimising the development and sales platform for efficiency and increased scale; 
integrating and optimising newly acquired assets; growing rental returns; and leveraging scale efficiencies.

The core Garden Village portfolio performed strongly over the period, closing at an all-time record occupancy of 92.8%. 
Rent growth was solid at 3.3% and EBIT from the business was up 5.5% to $11.6 million.

Strategic Priorities:
The strategic priorities of Ingenia Gardens over the coming year are maximising village income, whilst further seeking 
opportunities to leverage scale and ensuring residents are actively engaged. Following the successful pilot of Ingenia 
CarePLUS at Devonport and Taree Gardens, Ingenia CarePLUS will be rolled out across other villages. This will provide 
residents with piece of mind and allow them to remain in independent living longer.

Ingenia Settlers
Ingenia Settlers is comprised of three deferred management fee communities across Queensland, New South Wales and 
Western Australia. The carrying value of these assets at 30 June 2017, net of resident loans and lease liabilities, is $10.8 million.

Performance was impacted during the year by the sale of five communities to Forum Capital Partners, limited development 
stock and a continuing slowdown in the Western Australian market.

Strategic Priorities: 
The key strategic priority remains divestment of this non-core segment. 

Capital Management of the Group
The Group adopts a prudent and considered approach to capital management. In May 2017 the Group successfully 
completed a $74 million capital raising to fund four acquisitions and development. 

During the year, the Group refinanced a tranche of its syndicated facility, increasing the total Group facility limit by $100m 
and providing increased tenor. As at 30 June 2017, the syndicated facility is drawn to $177.3 million (including bank 
guarantees), which represents a loan to value ratio (“LVR”) of 27.7%. LVR is below Ingenia’s target range of 30-40% at 
30 June 2017. The Group has interest rate hedges in place covering 38% of drawn debt at 30 June 2017.

Inventories, up $3.9 million, include 86 newly completed homes, reflecting the Group’s rapidly growing lifestyle community 
development business. 

Investment property book value decreased by $17.3 million from the prior year. This was due to: 

 – Sale of five Settlers assets which had a gross value in investment property of $230.7 million;

 – Acquisition of eight lifestyle communities for $174.8 million (including transaction costs);

 – Development expenditure of $29.2 million, and;

 – Fair value uplift of $12.6 million.

Borrowings increased by $66.7 million, partly funding the acquisition and development of lifestyle community assets

are launched. Priorities in existing lifestyle and holiday communities are to integrate the recent acquisitions and make 
appropriate investment in key communities to grow revenue, particularly within the tourism business. Ingenia Gardens 
remains a key contributor to the Group’s rental cash flow during FY18 and appropriate focus and investment is planned 
to ensure that along with the Lifestyles and Holidays portfolio, Ingenia continues to deliver the best possible support and 
experience to our residents and guests.

The Group will continue to regularly assess the performance of its existing assets and market opportunities, and make 
divestments and acquisitions where superior returns are available.

Message from the Remuneration 
and Nomination Committee
Dear Securityholders,

The Board of Ingenia Communities Group (Ingenia) is 
pleased to present the Remuneration Report for FY17.

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 FY17 Key 
Management Personnel (KMP) remuneration structure.

In relation to the FY18 KMP remuneration structure an 
additional metric relating to earnings growth will be 
included in the long-term incentive vesting rules.

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

The Group’s FY17 result, as measured by underlying profit, 
is strong and significantly increased on the prior year, as 
supported by the on-target or better 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 2017 was 6.5% 
in relation to the TSR of 6.2% for the ASX 300 Industrials 
Index for the same period. 

FY17 STI outcomes for KMP were in line with Ingenia’s 
strong performance.

The review of NED remuneration is deferred until 
December 2017.

9

Ingenia’s Corporate Strategy
The Group’s strategy is highlighted in the FY17 results 
presentation and Operational and Financial Review 
section within this Directors’ report, and has not changed 
substantially from the prior year.

The Board has linked remuneration outcomes to the 
corporate strategy for medium to long term return on 
investment. Vesting of deferred STI awards requires year 
on year earnings growth and vesting of LTI awards occurs 
on meeting threshold TSR and ROE targets.

Conclusion
Overall, Ingenia’s remuneration framework continues to 
be “fit for purpose”, and remains substantially unchanged 
from 2016. 

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 
14 November 2017.

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED 

Remuneration Report (Audited)

Introduction
The Board presents the Remuneration Report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2017, 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.

Remuneration Governance

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:

 – Philip Clark AM (Chair) (appointed, 15 November 2016);

 – Amanda Heyworth; and

 – Valerie Lyons (appointed, 1 March 2017);

 – Norah Barlow ONZM (Chair) (resigned, 15 November 2016);

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 their remuneration.

External Remunerations Advisers
Guerdon Associates, initially engaged in March 2014, provided independent remuneration advice during FY17 in respect of 
KMP and reviewed the rules of the Group’s incentive plan. 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 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.

Details of KMP
KMP for the year ended 30 June 2017 are those persons identified as having direct or indirect authority and responsibility 
for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group, and include any Executive Director or NED of the Group.

KMP of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2017 have been determined by the Board as follows:

 – 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

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), measured over 
three financial years, and Return on Equity (ROE) performance 
measured in the third year following the LTI grant.

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 2017, noting that where applicable, certain amounts have been restated for the security consolidation

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.

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.

Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
Under the FY17 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.

The FY17 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; 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 2018;

 – 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), health and safety (COO only), operational targets, system implementation targets (for the COO and CFO only) 
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:

15 November 2016. Any FY18 CEO deferred equity component will be subject to securityholder approval at the 2017 AGM to 
be held on 14 November 2017.

Long-Term Incentives

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 FY17 LTIP Rights are subject to the following LTIP Performance Conditions:

 –

 –

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

30% based on Return on Equity (ROE).

Refer to page 13 for details of maximum LTIP.

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 2019.

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.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited16

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED 

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 must outperform the Index for the LTIP rights to vest for the Executive KMP. The FY17 LTIP Rights will vest on the 
following basis:

Growth rate in INA’s Relative TSR 

% of Rights that vest

At or Below Threshold

Equal to or less than Index + 1% CAGR Nil

Between Threshold and Maximum

Between Index + 1% and Index

basis between Threshold and Maximum

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 return on 
investment.

ROE is defined as underlying profit divided by weighted average net assets. For FY17, the relevant metric is ROE achieved 
for FY19 on the following basis:

At or Below Threshold

Less than 9.0%

The FY17 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 2016 (for the CFO and COO) and 15 November 2016 (for the CEO). 

The number of LTIP Rights granted in FY17 was calculated by dividing the LTIP value by the 30 day VWAP of the Ingenia 
security price as 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. 

FY17 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. However, executives do not receive distributions on securities underlying any Rights that do not vest or 
remain unexercised.

Performance Quantum Rights (PQRs) Issued in FY14
At 30 June 2017, no PQRs remain on issue and there is no intention to issue more. 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 was 3 years from 1 July 2013. 
The balance of 619,333 PQRs vested on 1 July 2016 and 598,833 fully paid stapled securities were issued at that time.

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.

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; and

 – Any other factors that the Board considers relevant.

Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration

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

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.

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.

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

NED Remuneration Table
The following table outlines the remuneration provided to NEDs for the FY16 and FY17:

 – Committee Chairs (ARC, IC and RNC): an additional $10,000; and

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

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 2017 was authorised for issue by the directors 
on 22 August 2017.

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, derivative financial instruments, other 
financial assets and other financial liabilities, which are 
measured at fair value.

Where appropriate comparative amounts have been 
restated to ensure consistency of disclosure throughout 
the financial report.

At 30 June 2017, the Group recorded a net current 
asset deficiency of $18,197,000. This deficiency includes 
retirement village resident loans of $27,201,000. 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.

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:
The presentation currency of the Group, and functional 
currency of the Company, is the Australian dollar.

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 property, 
plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long–term 
construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. 
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment 
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.

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.

 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 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 within its Ingenia Lifestyle and 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 and Financial Instruments
The Group uses 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 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.

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 2017Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED

31

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 25(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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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 group 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. 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 and 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:
The Company, ICMT and their subsidiaries are subject to 
Australian income tax.

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.

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 previously held 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.

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

 Summary of significant accounting policies

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

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

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

z.  Fair Value Measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, such as 
derivatives, investment properties, non–financial assets 
and non–financial liabilities, at fair value at each balance 
sheet date. Refer to Note 26. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants, at the measurement date. 
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption 
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability 
takes place either: 

 –

 –

In the principal market for the asset or liability; or 

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

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

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

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

 –

 –

 –

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

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
of 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 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 Investment Committee and the Audit and 
Risk committee once approved. 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 25.

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.

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. 

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. 

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

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.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is 
applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2018. The Group has not early adopted this 
standard. The standard is based on the principle that 
revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is 
transferred to a customer. It contains a single model that 
applies to contracts with customers and two approaches 
to recognising revenue; at a point in time or over time. 
The model features a contract–based five–step analysis 
of transactions, to determine 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 
has reviewed this standard, and has assessed that it will not 
have a material impact on its 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 
a future minimum lease payments total of $1,492,000 at 
30 June 2017. 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.

 Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

a. 
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
The Group has investment properties with a carrying 
amount of $693,473,000 (2016: $710,746,000) (refer Note 
10 and Note 11), and retirement village residents’ loans with 
a carrying amount of $27,201,000 (2016: $207,483,000) 
(refer Note 17 and Note 11), which together represent the 
estimated fair value of the Group’s property business.

Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED

35

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)
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 judgment in applying the entity’s 
accounting principles

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 23 for assumptions used in 
determining the fair value.

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.

3.  Segment information

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

 –

 –

 –

 –

Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays – comprising long–term and tourism accommodation within lifestyle parks;

Ingenia Lifestyle Development – comprising the development and sale of manufactured homes;

Ingenia Gardens – rental villages; and

Ingenia Settlers – deferred management fee villages. 

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”.

(1)   Movement in cost base of investment property impacted by valuation adjustments and resetting of historic cost bases where updated 

information is available.

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.

Lifestyle and Holidays Capitalisation method 

Short-term occupancy 

(for existing rental 
streams)

20% - 80% for powered 
and camp sites;  
15% - 75% for  
tourism and short  
term rental

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 property 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.

Higher the occupancy, 
the greater the value. 

Residential occupancy

100%

Operating profit margin

35% - 70% dependent 
upon short-term

accommodation mix

Higher the profit margin, 
the greater the value. 

Capitalisation rate

7.4% - 14.0%

Discounted cash flow 
(for future development)

Discount rate

12.5% - 17.5%

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.

10.   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.

11.  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 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). The 
remaining three Settlers assets are held in investment property, refer to Note 10(b).

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

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

23.  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 12 November 2014 Annual General Meeting 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 $321,004 (2016: $345,064) 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 2017.

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%. 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 vested 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.

Movements in rights during the year were:

The fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The total LTIP and PQR expense recognised for 
the financial year was $338,783 (2016: $612,459).

24.  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 $300.0 million syndicated 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 30-40%. As at 30 June 2017, LVR is 27.7% compared to 24.9% at 30 June 2016.

In addition the Group also monitors Interest Cover Ratio as defined under the syndicated debt facility. At 30 June 2017, 
the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 5.36x (2016: 4.46x) and the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 3.52x (2016: 3.73x).

25.  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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED

55

25.  Financial instruments (continued)
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 2017, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 29% of the Group’s borrowings are 
at a fixed rate of interest (2016: 28%). Further, the Group has entered into an interest rate collars to provide further interest 
rate protection.

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).

Increase in average interest rates of 100 bps:

Variable interest rate bank debt (AUD denominated)

Interest rate swaps (AUD denominated)

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

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

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

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.

25.  Financial instruments (continued)

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

Level 1:

Level 2:

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

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

Level 3:

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

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

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

Financial assets/ 
financial liabilities

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.

N/A

N/A

Other financial liabilities relates to ongoing obligation for the Latitude One investment property and is linked to the 
underlying property value. The associated financial liability will move in line with the fair value of the property.

There has been no movement from Level 3 to Level 2 during the year. Changes in the Group’s retirement village resident 
loans, which are Level 3 instruments are presented in Note 17.

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

The 2016 comparative information for the Company has been adjusted to realign the recognition of historical transactions 
within the individual stapled entities. This has resulted in an increase in net assets and equity of the Company as at 30 June 
2016 of $9,889,000 and a reduction in net profit for the year ended on that date of $169,000. These adjustments are internal 
realignments only and do not impact the reported consolidated results of the Stapled Group.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Ingenia Communities 
Holdings Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (the Company) and its 
subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as 
at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of 
changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001, including: 

a)

giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2017 
and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting 
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the 
Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter 
is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit 
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures 
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying 
financial report. 

1. Valuation of Investment Property 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

In obtaining sufficient audit evidence:  

• We considered the objectivity, independence 
and competence of the external valuers and 
evaluated the suitability of their valuation 
scope and methodology for the financial 
report; 

• We assessed the Group’s internal valuation 

methodology and on a sample basis checked 
the mathematical accuracy of their valuation 
models. We also assessed the competence of 
the internal valuer;  

• On a sample basis we assessed the property 
related data used as input for both the 
external and internal valuations against 
actual and budgeted property performance; 
and 

• We considered the key inputs and 

assumptions used in the valuations by 
comparing this information to external 
market data, where we involved our real 
estate valuation specialists. 

Approximately 93% of the Group’s total assets 
comprise investment properties. These assets 
are carried at fair value, which is assessed by the 
directors with reference to either external 
independent valuations or internal valuations, 
and is based on market conditions existing at 
reporting date.  

This is considered a key audit matter as 
valuations contain a number of assumptions 
which are based on direct market comparisons, 
or estimates. Minor changes in certain 
assumptions can lead to significant changes in 
the valuation. 

The Group has three categories of investment 
properties as disclosed in note 10 to the financial 
report. 

•

•

The Garden Villages portfolio consists of 
investment properties earning revenue 
predominantly from longer term rental 
agreements and the key judgements 
include capitalisation rates, discount 
rates, market and contractual rent and 
forecast occupancy levels. 

The Settlers portfolio consists of 
investment properties earning revenue 
predominantly via deferred management 
fee arrangements and key judgments 
include assessing discount rates, growth 
rates in property values and average 
length of stay of residents.

•

The Lifestyle & Holidays portfolio 
consists of investment properties 
earning revenue from a mix of longer 
term land rental agreements and short-
term accommodation rental. In addition 
the group earns revenue from the sale of 
manufactured homes to residents of the 
properties.   

The key judgements for the longer term 
and short-term rental include 
capitalisation rates, market and 
contractual rents, forecast short-term and 
residential occupancy levels, historical 
transactions and remaining development 
potential for vacant land.  In assessing the 
development potential, additional key 
judgments include future new homes sales 
prices, estimated capital expenditure, 
discount rates, projected property growth 
rates and operating profit margins. 

2. Deferred tax assets 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

The Group has recorded net deferred tax assets 
of $7.5m in the financial report resulting from 
temporary differences and tax losses carried 
forward as disclosed in note 14 to the financial 
report. The Group recognises these deferred tax 
assets to the extent that it is probable that 
future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax 
assets to be recovered. The probability of 
recovery is impacted by uncertainties regarding 
the likely timing and level of future taxable 
profits. 

In obtaining sufficient audit evidence:  

• We evaluated assumptions and 

methodologies used by the Group to forecast 
future taxable profits to determine the

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Group’s 2017 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report 
thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date 
of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the 
date of this auditor’s report.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or 
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this 
auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are 
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

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

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit 
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, 
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:



Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud 
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence 
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a 
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud 
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of 
internal control. 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If 
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to 
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as 
a going concern.  

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation. 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely 
responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should 
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be 
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annual Report 2017Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

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

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

The Directors’ report is a combined Directors’ report that 
covers both Trusts for the full year ended 30 June 2017 
(the “current period”).

Operating and Financial Review

ICF and ICMT Overview
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 a leading owner, operator and developer 
of a diversified portfolio of senior lifestyle and holidays 
communities across Australia. The Group is in the ASX 300 
with a market capitalisation of approximately $536 million. 
Its real estate assets span key metropolitan and coastal 
markets, with a carrying value of $693.5 million at 30 June 
2017, comprising of 33 lifestyle communities, 31 rental 
communities and three retirement (deferred management 
fee) communities.

The Group’s vision is to create Australia’s best lifestyle 
communities for 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 and short-term residents.

73

Strategy
The strategies of ICF and ICMT are aligned with the 
Group’s strategy to accelerate the development of Lifestyle 
and Holiday communities coupled with enhancing the 
financial performance of its asset base by growing revenue 
streams and effective cost and capital management.

Increasing the velocity and margin on new home sales, 
repositioning and upgrading existing communities and 
targeting defined sector adjacencies and innovations 
are key growth priorities of the Group. In FY18 the Group 
is targeting the sale and development of over 260 new 
homes and is forecasting over 350 new homes for the 2019 
financial year. Using a disciplined investment framework, 
the Group plans to continue its focus on metropolitan and 
coastal locations through portfolio targeted acquisitions 
and divestments.

The key immediate business priorities of the Group are: 

 – Achieve at least 260 new home settlements in FY18 and 

position for target of over 350 homes in FY19;

 – Continue focus on metropolitan and coastal locations 

through portfolio remixing and development;

 –

Improve performance of existing assets through 
repositioning and by driving revenue growth and 
leverage operating and sales platform;

 – Expand development margins through innovative home 

designs and building efficiencies.

FY17 Financial Results
The financial results for the Ingenia Communities Group 
are disclosed below and includes the results of Ingenia 
Communities Holdings Limited (ICH), which do not form 
part of these accounts, but are relevant as ICH is stapled 
with ICF and ICMT.

Significant investment in Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays 
continued during FY17, with a focus on building the 
development pipeline and lifestyle and tourism portfolio’s 
through eight strategic acquisitions in coastal and 
metropolitan markets. Management has also remained 
focused on occupancy and rental growth within the 
Ingenia Gardens and the Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays 
rental assets.

In October 2016 in line with the Groups asset recycling 
strategy, five of the eight Settlers’ assets were sold to 
the Forum Group. The Group retains a 15% share in 
these assets. The divestment provided cash proceeds of 
$41 million which were deployed into acquiring lifestyle 
and holiday communities in key metropolitan and coastal 
markets during FY17.  

FY17 has delivered a statutory profit of $26.4 million, which 
is up 8.8% on prior year. Underlying Profit from continuing 
operations was $23.5 million which represents an increase 
of $3.4 million (16.7%) on the prior year. The underlying 
result is underpinned by a significantly higher EBIT 
contribution from the Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays of 
$28.3 million, up 72% from prior year. The statutory result 
is further impacted by uplift in valuations on investment 
property offset by the loss on the sale of the Settlers 
portfolio during the year.

Directors’ Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED 

Operating cash flow for the year was $30.3 million, up 
43.9% from the prior year, reflecting growth in recurring 
rental income and new manufactured home settlements 
growing by 97.2% to 211.

In May 2017, the Group raised $74 million through a 
placement and entitlement offer, which was raised to invest 
in four lifestyle community acquisitions and accelerate 
development. Prior to 30 June, two of these acquisitions, 
being Bonny Hills and Durack have settled, with the 
remaining acquisitions expected to settle in August 2017. 
Over the year the Group invested an additional $174.8 
million (excluding transaction costs) into eight newly 
acquired lifestyle communities.

The Group has today announced a final distribution of 
5.1 cents, which brings the full year distribution to 10.2 
cents. The dividend reinvestment plan will be available to 
securityholders and the Board reaffirms its commitment 
to further growth in securityholder returns.

Key Metrics
 – Net Loss for the year for ICF $2.7 million  

(2016: $25.9m profit).

 – Net Profit for the year for ICMT of $29.6 million 

(2016: $0.06m profit).

 – Full year distribution of 10.2 cents per unit by ICF, 

nil from ICMT.

Capital Management
The Trusts adopts a prudent and considered approach to 
capital management. In May 2017 the Group successfully 
completed a $74 million capital raising to fund four 
acquisitions and development. 

During the year, the Group undertook a refinance of 
a tranche of its syndicated facility, increasing the total 
facility limit by $100m and providing increased tenor. 
As at 30 June 2017, the syndicated facility is drawn to 
$177.3 million (including bank guarantees), which represents 
a loan to value ratio (“LVR”) of 27.7%. LVR is below our 
target range of 30-40% at 30 June 2017. The Group has 
interest rate hedges in place covering 38% of drawn debt 
at 30 June 2017.

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

 – On 21 February 2017, the directors declared an interim 
distribution of 5.1 cps (2016: 4.2 cps) amounting to 
$8,964,628 which was paid on 15 March 2017.

 – On 22 August 2017, the directors declared a final 

distribution of 5.1 cps (2016: 5.1 cps) amounting to 
$10,525,452, to be paid on 13 September 2017.

The final distribution is 26.5% tax deferred and the 
dividend reinvestment plan will apply to the distribution.

FY18 Outlook
The Group is strongly positioned to continue growing 
its lifestyle communities business in FY18 with a strong 
development pipeline and debt capacity in place to 
facilitate the accelerated growth in settlement volumes 
expected as further projects are launched. 

Priorities in existing lifestyle and holiday communities are 
to integrate the recent acquisitions and make appropriate 
investment in key communities to grow revenue, 
particularly within the tourism business. Ingenia Gardens 
remains a key contributor to the Groups rental cash 
flow during FY18 and appropriate focus and investment 
is planned to ensure that along with the Lifestyles and 
Holidays portfolio, Ingenia continues to deliver the 
best possible support and experience to our residents 
and guests.

The Group will continue to regularly assess the 
performance of its existing assets and market 
opportunities, and make divestments and acquisitions 
where superior returns are available.

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 Financial Report. Refer 
to Note 8 for Investment properties acquired or disposed 
of during the year, Note 20 for details of Australian debt 
refinanced and Note 16 for issued units.

Events subsequent to reporting date

Final FY17 Distribution
On 22 August 2017, the directors of the Group resolved 
to declare a final distribution of 5.1 cps (2016: 5.1 cps 
amounting to $10.5 million to be paid at 13 September 2017. 
The distribution is 26.5% tax deferred and the dividend 
reinvestment plan will apply to the final distribution.

agreement to purchase Sheldon Caravan Park located in 
metropolitan Brisbane for $25.0 million.

Acquisition of Glenwood
On 10 August 2017, the Group completed the acquisition 
of development approved land located north of Coffs 
Harbour, on the NSW mid-north coast, for a purchase 
price of $7.8 million.

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

Other information about 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 Financial Report.

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.

Act 2001 expired in June 2015. A further one year extension was granted on 15 October 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

83

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 
2017 was authorised for issue by the directors on 
22 August 2017.

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.

Where appropriate comparative amounts have been 
restated to ensure consistency of disclosure throughout 
the financial report. The 2016 comparative information for 
the Trusts has been adjusted to realign the recognition of 
historical transactions within the individual stapled entities. 
This has resulted in the following:

 – For ICF, a reduction in net assets and equity as at 

30 June 2016 of $6,186,000 and an increase in net profit 
for the year ended on that date of $3,874,000.

 – For ICMT, a reduction in net assets and equity as at 

30 June 2016 of $698,000.

These adjustments are internal realignments only and do 
not impact the reported consolidated results of the stapled 
Group.  

As at 30 June 2017, ICMT recorded a net current asset 
deficiency of $16,777,000. This deficiency includes 
retirement village resident loans of $27,201,000. Resident 
loan obligations of the Trusts are classified as current 
liabilities due to the demand feature of these obligations 
despite the unlikely possibility that the majority of the loans 
will be settled within the next twelve months. Furthermore, 
if required, the proceeds from new resident loans could 
be used by the Trust to settle its existing loan obligations 
should those incumbent residents vacate their units. 
Intercompany loan balances of $448,028,000 are payable 
in the event of default or on termination date, being 
30 June 2025 (or such other date as agreed by the parties 
in writing). 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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

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

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

Translation 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.

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 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.

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 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.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued) 

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.

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 within its Lifestyle and 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 and 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Group 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. 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.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued) 

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 Development segment is recognised when the 
significant risks, rewards of ownership and effective control 
has been transferred to the buyer. 

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

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

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

w.  Provisions, Including for Employees Benefits

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.

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.

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:
Under the current tax legislation, ICF and its subsidiaries 
are not liable to pay Australian income tax provided that 
their 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 previously held 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.

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.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

z.  Fair Value Measurement
The Trusts measure financial instruments, such as 
derivatives, investment properties, non-financial assets and 
non-financial liabilities, at fair value at each balance sheet 
date. Refer to Note 21. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at the measurement date. 
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption 
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability 
takes place either: 

 –

 –

In the principal market for the asset or liability; or

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

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

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

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

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

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 22.

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.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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 
$1,492,000. 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.

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
The Trusts have investment properties with a combined 
carrying amount of $693,473,000 (2016: $710,746,000) 
(refer Note 8), and combined retirement village residents’ 
loans of $27,201,000 (2016: $207,483,000) (refer Note 8 
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.

Valuation of inventories
ICMT 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.

2. 

 Accounting estimates and judgements 
(continued)

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.

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.

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.

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 four reportable segments: 

 –

 –

 –

 –

Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays – comprising long-term and tourism accommodation within lifestyle parks and the sale of 
manufactured homes;

Ingenia Lifestyle Development – comprising the development and sale of manufactured homes;

Ingenia Gardens – rental villages; and

Ingenia Settlers – deferred management fee villages.

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

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

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

Investment properties (continued)

c.  Description of Valuation Techniques Used and Key Inputs to Valuation of Investment Properties

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.

9.  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). The 
remaining three Settlers assets are held in investment property, refer to Note 8.

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.

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

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.

For commitments for inter-staple related party finance leases refer to Notes 6, 14 and 24.

19.  Contingencies
There are no known contingent liabilities other than the bank guarantees totalling $10.8 million provided for under 
the $300.0 million bank facility. Bank guarantees primarily relate to the Responsible Entity’s AFSL capital requirements 
($10.0 million).

20. 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 $300 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 30-40%. As at 30 June 2017, LVR is 27.7% compared to 24.9% at 30 June 2016.

In addition the Group also monitors Interest Cover Ratio as defined under the multilateral debt facility. At 30 June 2017, 
the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 5.36x (2016: 4.46x) and the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 3.52x (2016: 3.73x).

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED

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 2017 after taking into account the effect of 
interest rate swaps, approximately 29% of ICF’s borrowings 
are at a fixed rate of interest (2016: 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.

21.  Financial instruments

Instruments

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.

21.  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.

i.  Liquidity Risk

The main objective of liquidity risk management is to reduce the risk that the Trusts do not have the resources available 
to meet their financial obligations and working capital and committed capital expenditure requirements. The Trust’s 
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.

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.

21.  Financial instruments (continued) 

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.

These effects are largely offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the Trusts’ investment properties. The effect on 
unitholders’ interest would have been the same as the effect on profit.

Independent Auditor's Report to the unitholders of Ingenia Communities 
Fund  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Ingenia Communities Fund (the “Trust”) and its subsidiaries 
(collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 
2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity 
and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, 
including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001, including: 

a)

giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2017 
and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting 
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the 
Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is 
provided in that context.

Independent Auditor’s Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | CONTINUED

2 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit 
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures 
performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying 
financial report. 

1. Valuation of Investment Properties 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Approximately 25% of the Group’s total assets 
comprise investment properties. These assets 
are carried at fair value, which is assessed by the 
directors with reference to either external 
independent valuations or internal valuations, 
and is based on market conditions existing at 
reporting date.  

This is considered a key audit matter as 
valuations contain a number of assumptions 
which are based on direct market comparisons, 
or estimates. Minor changes in certain 
assumptions can lead to significant changes in 
the valuation. 

The investment properties, as disclosed in note 8 
to the financial report, earn revenue 
predominantly from longer term rental 
agreements and the key judgments include 
capitalisation rates, discount rates, market and 
contractual rent and forecast occupancy levels. 

In obtaining sufficient audit evidence:  

• We considered the objectivity, independence 
and competence of the external valuers and 
evaluated the suitability of their valuation 
scope and methodology for the financial 
report; 

• We assessed the Group’s internal valuation 

methodology and on a sample basis checked 
the mathematical accuracy of their valuation 
models. We also assessed competence of the 
internal valuer;  

• On a sample basis we assessed the property 
related data used as input for both the 
external and internal valuations against 
actual property performance; and 

• We considered the key inputs and 

assumptions used in the valuations by 
comparing this information to external 
market data, where we involved our Real 
Estate valuation specialists. 

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Group’s 2017 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report 
thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date 
of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the 
date of this auditor’s report.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or 
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this 
auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are 
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

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

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit 
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, 
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 







Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud 
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence 
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a 
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud 
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of 
internal control. 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.



Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If 
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to 
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as 
a going concern.  

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation. 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely 
responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should 
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be 
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Independent Auditor's Report to the unitholders of Ingenia Communities 
Management Trust  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Ingenia Communities Management Trust  (the “Trust”) and its subsidiaries 
(collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant 
accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including: 

a)

giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2017 and of its 
consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards 
are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We 
are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of 
Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We 
have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report 
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each 
matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of 
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The 
results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis 
for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

1. Valuation of Investment Property 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

In obtaining sufficient audit evidence:  

• We considered the objectivity, independence and 

expertise of the external valuers and evaluated 
the suitability of their valuation scope and 
methodology for the financial statements; 

• We assessed the Group’s internal valuation 

methodology and on a sample basis checked the 
mathematical accuracy of their valuation models. 
We also assessed competence of the internal 
valuer;  

•

On a sample basis we assessed the property 
related data used as input for both the external 
and internal valuations against actual and 
budgeted property performance; and 

• We considered the key inputs and assumptions 
used in the valuations by comparing this 
information to external market data, where we 
involved our Real Estate valuation specialists. 

Approximately 92% of the Group’s total assets 
comprise investment properties. These assets are 
carried at fair value, which is assessed by the directors 
with reference to either external independent 
valuations or internal valuations, and is based on 
market conditions existing at reporting date.  

This is considered a key audit matter as valuations 
contain a number of assumptions which are based on 
direct market comparisons, or estimates. Minor 
changes in certain assumptions can lead to significant 
changes in the valuation. 

The Group has two categories of investment 
properties as disclosed in note 8 to the financial 
report. 

•

•

The Group holds a Lifestyle & Holidays 
portfolio consisting of investment properties 
earning revenue from a mix of longer term 
land rental agreements and short-term 
accommodation rental. In addition the group 
earns revenue from the sale of manufactured 
homes to residents of the properties.  

The key judgements for the longer term and 
short-term rental include capitalisation rates, 
market and contractual rents, forecast short-
term and residential occupancy levels, 
historical transactions and remaining 
development potential for vacant land.  In 
assessing the development potential 
additional key judgements include future new 
homes sales prices, estimated capital 
expenditure, discount rates, projected 
property growth rates and operating profit 
margins. 

The Group holds a Settlers portfolio 
consisting of investment properties earning 
revenue predominantly via deferred 
management fee arrangements and key 
judgements include assessing discount rates, 
growth rates in property values and average 
length of stay of residents.

2. Deferred tax assets 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

The Group has recorded net deferred tax assets of 
$5.2m in the financial statements resulting from 
temporary differences and tax losses carried forward 
as disclosed in note 12 to the financial statements. 
The Group recognises these deferred tax assets to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits 
will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered. The 
probability of recovery is impacted by uncertainties 
regarding the likely timing and level of future taxable 
profits. 

In obtaining sufficient audit evidence:  

• We evaluated assumptions and methodologies 

used by the Group to forecast future taxable 
profits to determine the likelihood that the losses 
will be recovered; and 

• We assessed that information used was derived 

from the Group’s business cash flow forecasts that 
have been subject to internal reviews and were 
approved by those charged with governance. 

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in 
the Group’s 2017 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the 
Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect 
to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the date of this auditor’s report.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form 
of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, 
we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We 
have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and 
fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

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

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable 
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the 
Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise 
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and 
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from 
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Group’s internal control.  

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 
related disclosures made by the directors. 

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on 
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may 
cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material 
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 
financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the 
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may 
cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and 
whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair 
presentation. 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, 
supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to 
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the 
audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in 
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare 
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse 
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication.
