Dear Security holders
The past financial year has seen Ingenia 
capitalise on the Group’s platform and 
capability in a growing market segment to 
deliver significant growth, exceeding the 
guidance we set at the beginning of this year. 

The growing acceptance of lifestyle 
communities as an affordable and valued 
seniors housing choice, and increasing 
interest by some of the world’s largest real 
estate businesses, supports the Group’s 
decision to focus capital and management 
efforts on expanding in this sector and has 
underpinned the strong growth in returns 
over the past year. 

Ingenia now owns 35 communities located 
largely in eastern seaboard coastal and 
metropolitan locations and a rapidly 
expanding development business. With 
margins in our operating business improving 
as the addition of new assets to the portfolio 
and increased revenue from the development 
and sale of new homes contributed, the 2018 
financial year saw Ingenia deliver record 
profit growth. 

Underlying profit increased by 56% and 
revenue grew by 26% (to $189.5 million). 
The full year distribution, of 10.75 cents per 
security, represented an increase of 5.4% 
on the prior year, and was the fifth year of 
growth. Both Earnings Before Interest and 
Tax (EBIT) and new home settlements were 
above market guidance, which we prudently 
increased over the course of the year.

The security price increased from $2.60 
on 30 June 2017 to close the year at $3.08, 
reflecting corporate activity in the sector, 
growing offshore interest and the Group’s 
strong performance. Ingenia’s returns 
outperformed those of the S&P/ASX 300 
Accumulation Index over a one, three and five 
year period to 30 June 2018 and were in line 
with (over three years) or exceeded (over one 
and five years) the S&P/ASX Property 300 
Accumulation Index to 30 June 2018. 

Over the year we maintained a focus on 
strong capital management, selling a 
number of non-core assets and increasing 
our funding capacity to ensure the Group’s 
new developments could be funded 
without reliance on the equity capital 
markets. This capacity, combined with the 
active Distribution Reinvestment Plan and 
growing cash flows, will provide funding for 
future growth as we continue to accelerate 
development.

In addition to successfully launching our 
first greenfield development we continued 
to improve operating performance of our 
existing assets, adding new rental cabins and 
tourism cabins to existing communities. 

The year represented a step change for the 
Group with our EBIT growing by over 50% to 
$48.8 million and operating cash flow also 
up more than 50%. We saw the benefit of the 
investment in people and systems made over 
the last few years as we integrated over $100 
million of assets in 18 months and increased 
new home settlements by more than 30%.

From this significantly higher base we 
are forecasting EBIT growth of 10-15%, 
underlying earnings per security growth 
of 5-10% and settlement of over 350 new 
homes in the 2019 financial year. As the 
development business further matures and 
we continue to grow our rental contracts, 
we are again forecasting EBIT growth in the 
2020 financial year.

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

As your Chairman I would like to thank all 
security holders for your continued support 
and I look forward to meeting with you and 
providing a further update on the business at 
our upcoming Annual General Meeting to be 
held in Sydney on 13 November 2018. 

We create  
community

Jim Hazel 
Chairman 

CEO Update

Ingenia’s growth has continued in FY18, with increasing rents, a full year contribution 
from recent acquisitions and expanding development margins and volumes resulting 
in a break out year for the Group.  

Ingenia Lifestyle Latitude One, NSW
September 2018

Over the 2018 financial year Ingenia’s 
strategy continued to deliver improving 
performance, with strong increases across 
key metrics. Margin expansion was achieved 
as scale efficiencies were delivered from an 
operating platform that has been put in place 
over the past few years to facilitate growth.

Recycling non-core assets and 
portfolio remixing
Ingenia made significant progress on the 
planned divestment of approximately $100 
million in non-core assets. To date, $60 
million of this target has been completed 
or contracted. 

Guidance was exceeded, with EBIT, new 
home settlements and underlying profit 
earnings per security demonstrating strong 
increases and record returns. Substantial 
increases in revenue and cash flows 
supported a 5.4% increase in distributions.

Financial Performance
Revenue grew 26% to $189.5 million and 
operating cash flow of $47.2 million was up 
56% as a larger rental base and significant 
increase in home settlements contributed.

Statutory Profit of $34.2 million was up 30% 
on the 2017 result. Underlying Profit of $36.8 
million increased 56% on the prior year.

Net Asset Value per security (NAV) increased 
to $2.57 (from $2.50 at 30 June 2017). 

Capital management
Over the year, capital recycling provided 
proceeds to accelerate development activity 
and further acquisitions were completed, 
growing the lifestyle and holidays portfolio 
and securing future development sites. 

The Group successfully increased total 
debt facilities to $350 million with extended 
terms. The Group had more than $100 million 
in unutilised debt facilities available at 
30 June 2018.

At 30 June 2018, Ingenia’s LVR of 32.6% was 
within the Group’s policy range of 30-40% 
and well below the banking covenant of 50%. 

The Group has an active Distribution 
Reinvestment Plan, growing cash inflows 
and is exploring capital partnerships to 
fund future investment and accelerate 
development.

These divestments not only provided funding 
for increased development activity but 
improved the quality and efficiency of the 
portfolio. 

Ingenia continued to grow exposure to the 
lifestyle and holidays market with increasing 
development activity a key avenue for 
growth. 

Ingenia also continued to identify new 
opportunities for investment, with recent 
acquisitions including:

 — The Durack Gardens rental community 
located in close proximity to Brisbane 
 — Land adjacent to Latitude One (NSW) 

and Chambers Pines (QLD)

 — Development land with approvals in place 
at Woolgoolga (NSW) and Hervey Bay 
(QLD)

 — A significant land parcel at Upper 

Coomera (QLD) which provides an 
opportunity to develop a new lifestyle 
community (subject to approvals).

Portfolio performance
Over the year Ingenia’s 26-village Ingenia 
Gardens portfolio maintained high 
occupancy and rent increases were also 
achieved across the portfolio. Income was 
relatively flat, reflecting the sale of five 
communities in April 2018. 

Ingenia Gardens communities generate 
a high quality recurrent stream of cash 
earnings, which underpin the Group’s 
balance sheet and cash flows. 

The Ingenia lifestyle and holidays portfolio 
continued to expand with acquisitions 
in Queensland and NSW extending 
our presence in key markets. Tourism 
revenue increased, reflecting operating 
improvements and the benefit of new 
acquisitions which increased the number 
of nights available across the portfolio.

Development
Ingenia welcomed the very first residents to 
new developments, Latitude One and Lake 
Conjola over the year, with both projects 
attracting strong interest and meeting key 
milestones. 

Development approval for further homes 
was received and there are now nine 
communities being expanded or created. 
As acquisitions have become more 
competitive, development has become 
an important contributor to growth. New 
home sales of 287 were up 36% on the 
prior year and demonstrated the strong 
demand across communities in Victoria, 
NSW and Queensland. 

Ingenia is now demonstrating the benefit 
of the investment made in this business, 
as margins grow with increasing scale. 

Outlook
We continue to seek growth in the Group’s 
lifestyle and holidays business as the market 
for seniors housing matures.

With the sale of non-core assets continuing 
as a key focus and development providing 
growth, our portfolio will continue to evolve 
over the coming year.

We are forecasting 350+ new home 
settlements for the 2019 financial year, EBIT 
growth of 10-15% and underlying EPS growth 
of 5-10% as we see the benefit of multi-year, 
large scale projects and growing margins 
across the Group.

In closing, I would like to thank the Board for 
their support and guidance, the management 
team and all employees for their continuing 
commitment and engagement and our 
residents and guests for supporting 
our business.

With a growing focus 
on development and 
the contribution from 
recent acquisitions, 
Ingenia is expanding 
this portfolio and 
delivering margin 
growth.

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

Reflecting ongoing growth in 
the portfolio, which is dominated 
by communities in coastal and 
metropolitan locations, rental 
revenue increased to $61.8 million 
in the 2018 financial year (up 
37% on the prior year). The EBIT 
contribution of $25.3 million was 
up over 50% on the prior year, 
driven by a growing rental base 
as acquisitions contributed. 

The core of this portfolio 
is permanent site revenue 
generated from residents who 
generally fund their rental 
payments via government 
pension and rental assistance. 
Residents own their home, and 
pay a land lease rent to locate 
it on Ingenia’s land. This stable 
cash flow is now generated 
from over 2,700 homes. 

In addition to growing rental 
cash flows from permanent 
homes, revenue from tourism 
increased over the period.

Development

Ingenia’s development 
activity has expanded 
over the year, providing 
improved returns through 
the sale of new homes, 
and importantly delivering 
new rent contracts.

Assisted by proceeds from non-
core asset sales, development 
expenditure increased over the 
2018 financial year, as three major 
projects began contributing new 
home settlements in the last 
quarter. 

A record 287 new home 
settlements increased gross new 
home development profit to 
$34.8 million (up over 75%). 

With a focus on continuing to 
maintain a future pipeline for 
development, new sites were 
secured in key metropolitan 
and coastal markets, and 
development approvals were 
progressed across a number 
of potential projects. 

Significant progress has been 
made on major expansion 
and greenfield projects, with 
Latitude One (270 home 
greenfield project on the NSW 
Central Coast) and Ingenia 
Holidays Conjola (114 site new 
home precinct on the NSW 
South Coast) welcoming their 
first residents and generating 
pleasing demand. Latitude 
One is utilising new designs 
and building methods to create 
unique, quality homes which set 
a new benchmark for Ingenia.

As settlements increase, 
additional scale is generating 
efficiencies with the EBIT margin 
for the development business 
growing to 24.4% (from 17.1% 
in the 2017 financial year).

While the residential market 
is slowing, the diversity, 
quality and scale of Ingenia’s 
developments and the 166 
deposits and contracts already 
in place at 30 June 2018 are 
expected to support an increase 
in settlements to the targeted 
350+ in financial year 2019.

Tourism is a 
complementary strong 
cash flow business which 
caters to the key markets 
of seniors and families.

Ingenia Holidays assets provide 
tourism accommodation 
including villas, cabins and 
caravan and camping sites which 
target the affordable tourism 
market and are attractive to 
‘grey nomads’ and families alike. 

The $50 million acquisition of 
one of Australia’s most awarded 
tourist parks (Cairns Coconut) in 
March 2017 extended Ingenia’s 
footprint and brand, increasing 
‘room nights’ across the holidays 
business to 785,000 per annum.

Over the 2018 financial year 
new cabins were added to a 
number of tourism communities, 
generating incremental returns. 
Across the portfolio there is the 
potential to build an additional 
150 tourist cabins as demand 
grows, providing further 
potential to enhance returns 
from existing parks. 

Occupancy increased across 
cabins and sites and active 
marketing to Ingenia’s 160,000 
customer database assisted in 
increasing the average length of 
stay across the holidays business 
in the 2018 financial year.

This portfolio remains core 
to Ingenia’s strategy and 
Ingenia is currently reviewing 
the opportunity to develop 
a new modular two-storey 
rental community as a way to 
meet demand for affordable 
rental homes. This innovative 
concept capitalises on the skills 
and experience developed 
in the lifestyle and holidays 
business and if viable will create 
the opportunity to expand 
this portfolio.

Community Highlights

It has been a big year for Ingenia and our communities. We accelerated into 
the year by breaking ground at our first Ingenia Lifestyle greenfield site in 
Port Stephens and were also busy in the Holidays business where a new dual 
waterslide at Cairns Coconut resort added to the joy of many guests.

Operating and Financial Review

Ingenia Communities Overview
The Group is an active owner, manager and developer of a diversified portfolio of retirement and holiday communities 
across Australia. Its real estate assets at 30 June 2018 were valued at $730.4 million (net of finance leases and resident 
loans), comprising 31 lifestyle and holiday communities (Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays), 26 rental communities (Ingenia 
Gardens) and one deferred management fee retirement village asset (Ingenia Settlers). The Group is in the ASX 300 with 
a market capitalisation of approximately $640.9 million at 30 June 2018.

The Group’s vision is to create Australia’s best lifestyle communities offering affordable permanent and tourism rental 
accommodation with a focus on the seniors demographic. The Board is committed to delivering sustainable long term 
earnings per share (EPS) growth to security holders while providing a supportive community environment to permanent 
residents and holidaymakers.

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 grow recurring revenue streams, develop lifestyle communities and enhance the operational 
performance of its investment properties. 

Using a disciplined investment framework, the Group plans to continue growing its lifestyle communities business in 
metropolitan and coastal locations, through the build out of its development pipeline, targeted acquisitions, reinvestment 
and divestment of non-core assets.

The key immediate business priorities of the Group are:

 – Grow permanent and tourism rental sites through development and investment in new cabins at existing properties;

 – Grow rental income at a rate above CPI;

 – Deliver development projects on time and within budget;

 – Achieve at least 350 new home settlements in the 2019 financial year;

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

 –

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

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

 – Continue the divestment of non-core assets to support the Group’s capital recycling strategy.

FY18 Financial Results
The year to 30 June 2018 has delivered a statutory profit of $34.2 million, which is up 30% on the prior year. Underlying 
Profit from continuing operations was $36.8 million which represents an increase of $13.3 million (56%) on the prior year. 

The Group developed and sold 287 turnkey homes (FY17: 211 homes) and grew rental income from permanent, annual and 
tourism clients to $61.5 million (FY17: $44.5 million).

The underlying result is underpinned by a significantly higher EBIT contribution from the Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays 
segment up 51% from the prior year. The statutory result reflects the reduction in fair value of investment property due to 
the increasing number of home settlements.

Operating cash flow for the year was $47.2 million, up 56% from the prior year, reflecting growth in recurring rental income 
and new lifestyle home settlements growing by 36% to 287. 

Ingenia grew its investment in lifestyle communities during the year, with a continued focus on progressing the Group’s 
development pipeline to enable further growth in its recurring rental base through the expansion and creation of high 
quality communities. During June, the Group delivered 16 settlements at its first greenfield development at Latitude One, 
Anna Bay, NSW.

The Group successfully undertook the divestment of eight non-core assets to support the Group’s capital recycling strategy. 
During 2018 Ingenia divested the Tasmanian Ingenia Gardens portfolio of five properties, two Lifestyle Communities and 
one Settlers village. At 30 June 2018 the Group had also contracted the sale of a further Settlers Village which settled in 
July 2018 and contracted (subject to conditions) the sale of the Rouse Hill lifestyle community.

Key Metrics
 – Statutory profit of $34.2 million, up 30% on the prior year. 

 – Underlying profit of $36.8 million, up 56% on the prior year.

 – Basic earnings per share (Statutory) of 16.5 cps, up 13% on the prior year (FY17: 14.6 cps). 

 – Basic earnings per share (Underlying) of 17.7 cps, up 36% on the prior year (FY17: 13.0 cps). 

 – Operating cash flows of $47.2 million compared with $30.3 million in the prior year.

 – Full year distribution of 10.75 cps, up 5.4% on the prior year.

 – Net asset value $2.57 per security compared with $2.50 at 30 June 2017.

Segment Performance and Priorities

Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays Operations
At 30 June 2018, Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays comprised 31 communities that offer an affordable community experience 
for seniors and tourism guests. Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays EBIT grew 51% on FY17 to $25.3 million. 

During FY18 the Group continued to expand its rental assets by delivering 287 new settlements from its development 
business, and completing the acquisition of Eight Mile Plains for $25.0 million. The Group also undertook the divestment of 
two subscale and non-core assets at Lake Macquarie and Chain Valley Bay to support the Group’s capital recycling strategy.

Permanent rental income grew by 46% in FY18, as a result of new acquisitions completed in FY17 and FY18, the settlement 
of new homes, the investment in new rental cabins and rental growth across the portfolio. 

Tourism rental income growth of 38% has been driven largely through the FY17 acquisition of Ingenia Holidays Avina, 
Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut and Ingenia Holidays Bonny Hills and additional investment in new tourism cabins across 
the portfolio. The Groups continued focus on leveraging its database and brand position within the tourism market also 
contributed to the improved performance.

The carrying value of the Lifestyle and Holidays investment property at 30 June 2018 is $449.9 million (2017: $407.8 million).

30 June 2018, the debt facilities are drawn to $229.0 million, which represents LVR of 32.6% (inclusive of bank guarantee 
liabilities).

The Group has interest rate derivatives in place covering 41% of drawn debt at 30 June 2018.

The Group intends to fund near term growth through internal cash flows, divestment of non-core assets and drawing on 
committed debt facilities. Ingenia continues to explore the concept of capital partnerships to accelerate the development 
of new lifestyle communities.

Inventories, up $8.6 million, include 93 newly completed homes, reflecting the Group’s rapidly growing lifestyle community 
development business and increased investment in display homes as new projects are launched. 

Investment property book value increased by $37.0 million from the prior year. This was due to: 

 – Acquisition of new communities and development sites $50.4 million;

 – Capitalised expenditure of $66.6 million;

 – Divestments of investment properties and the transfer of investment properties to assets held for sale of ($77.4 million); and

 – Fair value decrement of ($2.6 million), driven by the settlements of development sites, partly offset by valuation increases 

associated with capitalisation rate improvements and improved operations.

Assets held for sale represent the carrying value of the Group’s investment in Rouse Hill which is subject of a conditional sale 
contract and Ingenia Settlers Cessnock, which settled in July 2018.

Borrowings increased by $62.5 million, partly funding the acquisition and development of lifestyle community assets.

FY18, the growth in recurring net rental income from lifestyle and rental communities, and the cash inflow associated with 
the increased sale of new lifestyle homes.

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

 – On 20 February 2018, the Directors declared an interim distribution for 2018 of 5.1cps, amounting to $10.6 million which 
was paid on 14 March 2018. The distribution was 21.3% tax deferred and the distribution reinvestment plan was in place.

 – On 21 August 2018, the Directors declared a final distribution of 5.65 cps amounting to $11.8 million, to be paid on 

14 September 2018. The final distribution is estimated to be fully taxable and the distribution reinvestment plan will 
apply to the distribution.

During FY18 ICF elected to enter the Attribution Managed Investment Trust (“AMIT”) regime. Security holders will receive 
their first Attribution Managed Investment Trust Member Annual (“AMMA”) statement in September 2018.

FY19 Outlook
The Group is well positioned to continue growing its lifestyle communities business in FY19 with a sector leading 
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 make appropriate investment in key communities to grow 
revenue through investing in new cabins and facilities across the rental and tourism business. 

Ingenia Gardens remains a key contributor to the Group’s rental cash flow. Ingenia’s priority is to continue to grow 
occupancy and rents while delivering the best possible support to our residents.

The divestments made in the second half of FY18 and the divestments contracted at 30 June 2018 will temporarily impact 
the FY19 result due to lost earnings, while the capital proceeds are reinvested into development to grow long term recurring 
revenue streams in key locations. 

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

In relation to the FY18 executive remuneration structure 
a new metric relating to underlying earnings growth was 
included in the long-term incentive vesting rules. The other 
key metrics of Total Shareholder Return relative to that 
of the ASX 300 Industrials Index and Return on Equity 
targets remain consistent with prior years.

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

Message from the Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee
Dear Security holders,

The Board of Ingenia Communities Group (Ingenia) is 
pleased to present the Remuneration Report for FY18.

The Group’s strategy is outlined in the FY18 results 
presentation and Operational and Financial Review section 
of the Directors’ report. The Board has linked remuneration 
outcomes to the corporate strategy for medium to long-
term return on investment. 

Ingenia’s remuneration framework continues to be “fit for 
purpose”, 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.

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

FY18 short-term incentive (STI) outcomes for key 
management personnel (KMP) were in line with Ingenia’s 
strong performance. The Group’s FY18 result, as measured 
by underlying profit, showed good growth on the prior 
year supported by the sales result achieved in the 
development business and the full year impact of accretive 
acquisitions made in FY17 and FY18 that have been 
successfully integrated into the business.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

Introduction
The Board presents the Remuneration Report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2018, 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:

 – Amanda Heyworth (Chair);

 – Valerie Lyons; 

 – Andrew McEvoy (appointed, 1 December 2017); and

 – Philip Clark AM (resigned, 4 December 2017).

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 FY18 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 2018 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 2018 have been determined by the Board as follows:

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

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

 – Capability, skills and experience;

 – Ability to impact achievement of the strategic objectives of the Group;

 – Performance of each individual executive KMP;

 – The Group’s overall performance;

 – Remuneration levels being paid by competitors for similar positions; and

 – The need to ensure executive continuity and succession.

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 
security holders.

Remuneration component

Link to Group performance

Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR)

Short-Term Incentive (STI)

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 separately 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:

 – CEO: 33% cash and a 67% deferred equity

 – CFO & COO: 50% cash and a 50% deferred equity 

Deferred STIs are linked to underlying earnings growth 
sustainability and subject to a malus provision.

Long-Term Incentive (LTI)

LTIs are granted to executive KMP to align their focus with the 
Group’s strategy. The LTI performance conditions are as follows:

 – Total Shareholder Return (TSR), measured over three financial 

years;

 – Return on Equity (ROE) performance measured in the third 

year following the LTI grant;

 – Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) cumulative annual 

growth rate over the grant period.

The Board maintains sole discretion over the granting of LTIs.

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

LTIs are subject to a malus provision. 

The table below sets out summary information about the Group’s earnings and movement in security holder wealth for the 
five years to 30 June 2018, 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 a range of comparable industry peers and 
other Australian listed companies of similar size and complexity, whilst also taking into account the individual’s competence 
and the potential impact of incentives.

The remuneration mix the RNC is aiming to achieve for executives for FY18, expressed as a percentage of total remuneration,

Total Fixed Remuneration of Executive KMP
TFR is an annual salary, calculated on a total cost basis to include salary-packaged benefits grossed up for FBT, employer 
superannuation contributions and other non-cash benefits that may be agreed from time to time.

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

The TFR for each of the executives for FY18 and FY17 is:

Data ranges for the CEO, CFO and COO FY18 TFR were provided by Guerdon Associates. The RNC used an element of 
judgement to determine the appropriate positioning within this range. Those recommendations were approved by the Board.

Rights Plan
The current Rights Plan was approved by security holders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 15 November 2016. 

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 FY18 Rights Plan, 33% of the maximum STI for the CEO and 50% for the CFO and COO will be paid in cash, with 
the balance being 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 FY18 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 underlying 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 2019;

 – 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 are summarised in the following table. 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. Each assessment area is weighted.

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

be held on 13 November 2018.

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 security holder returns 
whilst also acting as a mechanism to retain key talent. 

The FY18 LTIP Rights are subject to the following LTIP Performance Conditions:

 – 40% based on Relative Total Shareholder Return (Relative TSR);
 –

30% based on Return on Equity (ROE); and
30% based on Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). 

 –

Refer to page 12 for details of maximum LTIP.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited Annual Report 2018Directors’ Report

For the year ended 30 June 2018 | continued 

15

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 2020.

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 FY18 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

+ 6% CAGR

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 (excluding the impact of asset revaluations on 
Net Assets between LTI issue date and the LTI vesting date). For FY18, the relevant metric is ROE achieved for FY20 on the 
following basis:

At or Below Threshold

EBIT CAGR Performance Condition
The EBIT CAGR Performance Condition is intended to focus executive KMP on improving medium to long-term return on 
investment.

EBIT CAGR is the compound annual growth rate of underlying earnings before interest and tax. The relevant metric is EBIT 
CAGR achieved for the period FY18 to FY20, with the base year EBIT on which CAGR will be calculated as the disclosed 
FY17 EBIT of $32.1 million.

Directors’ Report

For the year ended 30 June 2018 | continued 

The FY18 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 2017 (for the CFO and COO) and 14 November 2017 (for the CEO). 

The number of LTIP Rights granted in FY18 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. 

FY18 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 
security holders. However, executives do not receive distributions on securities underlying any Rights that do not vest or 
remain unexercised.

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 security holders. 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 security holders. Details are shown below.

The Board has introduced a policy guideline for NEDs to hold the equivalent of one year’s gross fees in Ingenia securities 
within a period of three years from the date of appointment. Once this hurdle has been met, NEDs are considered compliant 
with this guideline.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited Annual Report 2018Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

27

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 security holders 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 2018 was authorised for issue by the Directors 
on 21 August 2018.

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 (“AASB”) and the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting 
Standards as issued by the AASB 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 a 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.

c. 

 Adoption of New and Revised Accounting 
Standards

No new or revised standards and interpretations were 
issued by the AASB 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. Intercompany balances and 
transactions including dividends and unrealised gains and 
losses from intragroup transactions have been eliminated.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the 
parent obtains control. They are deconsolidated 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 fair value aggregate of the consideration transferred, 
at acquisition date and the amount of any non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, 
the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree at fair value or the proportionate 
share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition 
costs are expensed and included in other expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses 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 
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 consideration transferred and the 
amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the 
fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value 
of the acquired subsidiary’s net assets, the difference is 
recognised in profit or loss.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

f.  Assets Held for Sale
Components of the entity are classified as held for sale if 
their carrying value will be recovered principally through 
a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. 

They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount 
and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as 
investment property, which are carried at fair value.

The liabilities of an asset classified as held for sale are 
presented separately from other liabilities on the face 
of the balance sheet. 

Details of assets and liabilities held for sale are given 
at Note 10.

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

h.  Foreign Currency

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 statement of comprehensive income, 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 statement of comprehensive income.

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.

Leases

i. 
Finance leases where the Group is lessee, 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, so as 
to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as 
an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

Finance leases where the Group is lessor, 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, so 
as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the receivable. Interest is recognised as income 
in the statement of comprehensive income.

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 statement of comprehensive income on 
a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Plant and Equipment

j. 
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, the cost is recognised 
in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as 
a replacement, if the recognition criteria are satisfied. 
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised 
in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the 
expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after 
its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the 
recognition criteria for a provision are met.

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

The fair value of financial instruments actively traded in 
organised financial markets are determined by reference 
to quoted market bid prices at close of business on 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 
substantially similar instrument; discounted cash flow 
analysis; option pricing models; making use of available 
and supportable market data and keeping judgemental 
inputs to a minimum.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

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

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

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

Inventories

o. 
The Group holds inventory in relation to the acquisition 
and development of manufactured homes, as well as 
service station fuel and supplies within the 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.

p.  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 the contract is entered, and are subsequently 
remeasured to fair value.

Investment Property

q. 
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. Subsequently, investment 
properties are stated at fair value, reflecting market 
conditions at reporting date. Gains or losses arising from 
changes in the fair values of investment properties are 
included in the statement of comprehensive income in the 
period they arise, including the 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 measurement date, in 
the principal market for the asset or liability, or the most 
advantageous market in its absence. 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 revalue 
investment properties to fair value when their carrying 
value materially differs to their fair values.

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

r. 
An intangible asset arising from software development 
expenditure 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, direct payroll, and payroll 
related costs of employee time spent on projects.

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 seven 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.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Subsequent expenditure on 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 the derecognition of an intangible asset are 
measured as the difference between the net disposal 
proceeds, and the carrying amount of the asset. They are 
recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

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, acquired 
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation and impairment losses.

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

t. 

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. 
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 
comprehensive income 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 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 employees 
departing, and period of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields on high 
quality corporate bonds, at the reporting date with terms 
to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

u.  Retirement Village Resident Loans
The loans are repayable on the departure of the resident, 
and classified as financial liabilities at fair value through 
profit and loss with resulting fair value adjustments 
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 
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. This is 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, as the Group’s contracts with 
residents require net settlement of those obligations.

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

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

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

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

Issued Equity

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

x.  Revenue
Revenue from rent, interest and distributions is recognised 
to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will 
flow to the Group, and can be reliably measured. Revenue 
brought to account but not received at balance date is 
recognised as a receivable. Interest income is recognised 
as the interest accrues, using the effective interest rate 
method.

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.

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 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.

z. 

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 security holders each year. Tax allowances 
for building and fixtures depreciation are distributed 
to security holders via the tax-deferred component of 
distributions.

Current tax assets and liabilities 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 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 they operate. Under 
current Australian income tax legislation, security holders 
may be entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for this 
withholding tax.

During FY18 ICF elected to enter the Attribution Managed 
Investment Trust (AMIT) regime.

Deferred income tax:
Deferred income tax represents tax (including withholding 
tax) expected to be payable or recoverable by taxable 
entities on differences between 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 not 
recognised against income.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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 and rewards of ownership, as well as 
effective control has been transferred to the buyer.

Service station sales, food and beverage revenue 
represents the revenue earned from the provision of 
products and services to external parties. Sales revenue 
is only recognised when the significant risks and rewards 
of ownership of the products or service has been 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.

y.  Share-Based Payment Transactions
Certain Group senior executives 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 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 
statement of comprehensive income 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 where 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 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. Any expense not 
yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued) 

Tax consolidation:
The Company, ICMT, and their respective subsidiaries 
have formed a tax consolidation group with the Company 
or ICMT being the head entity. The head and 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.

aa.  Fair Value Measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, such as 
derivatives, investment properties, resident loans, certain 
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 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 market participants 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 best use, or by 
selling it to another market participant that would use the 
asset in its best use. 

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

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured 
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 
within the fair value hierarchy, described below, based on 
the lowest level of 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 
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 reassessing categorisation at the end of the 
reporting period. This is based on the lowest level input 
that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

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 month basis, management presents valuation 
results to the Investment Committee as well as the Audit 
and Risk Committee once approved. This includes a review 
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 (see Note 25).

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

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

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

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 $2,402,000 at 30 June 2018. 

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 as 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.

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

 – Expected to be realised, or intended to be sold, or 

consumed in the normal operating cycle;
 – Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
 – Expected to be realised within twelve months after the 

reporting period; or

 – Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being 

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

A liability is current when it is:
 – Expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
 – Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
 – 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.

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

Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to 
members of the Group, divided by the weighted average 
number of ordinary securities, adjusted for any bonus 
element. 

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

dd.  Pending Accounting Standards
AASB 9 Financial Instruments is applicable to reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group 
has not early adopted this standard. This standard provides 
requirements for the classification, measurement and 
derecognition 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, 
must be presented in other comprehensive income. The 
impact of the application of the standard is continuously 
being monitored by the Group, and the Group expects 
to conclude on the impact in due course.

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 
application of the standard is not expected to have any 
material impact on the Group’s financial reporting in 
future periods.

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 twelve 
months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A 
lessee 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.

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

iii.  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 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.

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

b. 

 Critical Judgements in Applying the Entity’s 
Accounting Policies

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

 Accounting estimates and judgements
2. 
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 
its 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, may not equal the related actual results. The 
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

Valuation of investment property

i. 
The Group has investment properties and assets held for 
sale with a combined carrying amount of $759,112,000 
(30 June 2017: $693,473,000) (refer Note 10 and Note 
11), and combined retirement village resident loans of 
$12,081,000 (30 June 2017: $27,201,000) (refer Note 10 
and Note 17) which together represent the estimated fair 
value of the Group’s property business.

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

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

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.

(3)   Includes a land component that is leased from the Crown or local municipalities and are recognised as investment property with an 

associated finance lease.

(4)   The carrying value of Latitude One represents 100% of the property value. A profit share arrangement is in place with a third-party 

liability which is carried at fair value and classified as a non-current financial liability.

Investment properties are carried at fair value in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy (Note 1 (q)). 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset 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 fair values, the Group considers relevant information including the capitalisation of rental streams using 
market assessed capitalisation rates. For investment properties under development the Group assesses fair value based 
on 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. As such the fair value of an investment property under 
development will differ depending on the number of settlements realised and the stage that each development is at. 

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

Refer to Note 11(e) for inputs used in determining fair value.

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.

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.

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.

c.  Finance Lease Commitments
Refer to Note 16(c) for future minimum lease payments payable and the present value of minimum lease payments payable 
at reporting date for the finance leases relating to investment property.

22.  Contingent liabilities
There are no known contingent liabilities other than the bank guarantees totalling $11.4 million provided for under the $350.0 
million bank facility. Bank guarantees primarily relate to the Responsible Entity’s AFSL capital requirements ($10.0 million).

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. Under the FY18 Rights Plan, 33% of the maximum STI for the CEO and 50% for the CFO and 
COO will be paid in cash, with the balance being a deferred equity element.

The deferred expense for conditional STIP rights recognised for the period is $489,187 (2017: $321,004) 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 2018.

b.  Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
LTIP performance rights are granted to individuals to align their focus to increase alignment with security holder’s interests. 

The FY18 LTIP Rights are subject to the following LTIP Performance Conditions:
 – 40% based on Relative Total Shareholder Return (Relative TSR);

 –

 –

30% based on Return on Equity (ROE); and

30% based on Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). 

TSR is benchmarked against the ASX 300 Industrials Index, whilst ROE and EBIT CAGR is benchmarked against internal 
targets. The number of LTIP rights that will vest depends on the TSR, ROE and EBIT CAGR achieved and is also conditional 
on the eligible employee being employed by the Group at the relevant vesting date.

24.  Capital management
The Group aims to meet its strategic objectives, operational needs and maximise returns to security holders through the 
appropriate use of debt and equity, 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 refinance risk of maturing debt facilities and the potential for acceleration prior to 
maturity. 

In assessing this risk, the Group takes into account the relative stability of its income flows, the predictability of its expenses, 
its debt maturity 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.

One measure of the Group’s capital position is through the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) which is a key covenant under the 
Group’s $350.0 million common terms debt facilities. 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 2018, LVR is 32.6% compared to 27.7% at 30 June 2017.

In addition the Group also monitors Interest Cover Ratio as defined under the common terms of the debt facilities. 
At 30 June 2018, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 5.53x (2017: 5.36x) and the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 3.19x 
(2017: 3.52x).

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. 

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.

At 30 June 2018, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 21% of the Group’s borrowings are 
at a fixed rate of interest (2017: 29%). 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 security holder’s 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)

Decrease in average interest rates of 100 bps:

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.

25.  Financial instruments (continued)

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

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

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

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

Rent receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and arrears actively followed up in order to reduce, where 
possible, the extent of any losses should the tenant subsequently default. The Group believes that its receivables that are 
neither past due nor impaired do not give rise to any significant credit risk.

Credit risk also arises from deposits placed with financial institutions and derivatives contracts that may have a positive 
value to the Group. The Group’s Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing policy sets target limits for credit risk exposure with 
financial institutions and minimum counterparty credit ratings. 

Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to the 
Group, after allowing for appropriate set offs which are legally enforceable.

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

Liquidity Risk

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

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

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

 –

 –

10% reduction in value of assets for LVR covenants; and

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

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

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

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

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

Level 1:

Level 2:

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

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

Level 3:

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

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

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

Financial assets/ 
financial liabilities

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.

resident loans.

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

Other financial liabilities relates to ongoing obligations 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(b).

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

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 2018, 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
2018 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 

Approximately 88% 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 was 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 11 to the 
financial report.  Two of these categories are 
considered material and involve significant 
judgement. 

•

•

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 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.

Our audit procedures included the following: 

• We considered the competence,

qualifications and objectivity 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 checked the mathematical
accuracy of their valuation models. We also
assessed the competence and qualifications
of the internal valuer;

• We compared the property related data used
as input for both the external and internal
valuations against actual and budgeted
property performance;

• We considered the key inputs and

assumptions used in the valuations by
comparing this information to external
market data;

• Our real estate valuation specialists reviewed

a sample of internal and external valuations
to determine whether that the key
judgements and methodology used were
appropriate; and

• We assessed the appropriateness of the

allocation of capital expenditure between
investment property and inventory assets.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited Annual Report 2018 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2018 | continued

67

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 and allocation 
between investment property and 
inventory, 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 $14.8m resulting from temporary differences 
and tax losses carried forward as disclosed in 
note 14 of 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 and the 
forecasting of this included assumptions and 
judgements made by the Group. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

• We evaluated assumptions and judgements
made  by the Group to forecast future
taxable profits to determine the likelihood
that the losses will be recovered; and

• We assessed whether that information used

to forecast future taxable profits was derived
from the Group’s business cash flow
forecasts that have been subject to internal
reviews and were approved by the Directors.

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 2018 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.

For the year ended 30 June 2018 | continued

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. 

Report on the Audit of the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 10 to 20 of the directors' report for the 
year ended 30 June 2018. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited for the year ended 
30 June 2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

(ICH), which does not form part of these accounts, but is relevant as ICH is stapled with ICF and ICMT. 

The year to 30 June 2018 has delivered a statutory profit of $34.2 million, which is up 30% on the prior year. Underlying 
Profit from continuing operations was $36.8 million which represents an increase of $13.3 million (56%) on the prior year. 

The Group developed and sold 287 turnkey homes (FY17: 211 homes) and grew rental income from permanent, annual and 
tourism clients to $61.5 million (FY17: $44.5 million).

The underlying result is underpinned by a significantly higher EBIT contribution from the Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays 
segment up 51% from the prior year. The statutory result reflects the reduction in fair value of investment property due to 
the increasing number of home settlements.

Operating cash flow for the year was $47.2 million, up 56% from the prior year, reflecting growth in recurring rental income 
and new lifestyle home settlements growing by 36% to 287. 

Ingenia grew its investment in lifestyle communities during the year, with a continued focus on progressing the development 
pipeline to enable further growth in its recurring rental base through the expansion and creation of high quality communities. 

The Group successfully undertook the divestment of eight non-core assets to support the Group’s capital recycling strategy. 
During 2018 Ingenia divested the Tasmanian Ingenia Gardens portfolio of five properties, two Lifestyle Communities and 
one Settlers village. At 30 June 2018 the Group had also contracted the sale of a further Settlers Village which settled in July 
2018 and contracted (subject to conditions) the sale of the Rouse Hill lifestyle community.

Key Metrics
 – Net profit for the year for ICF $25.5 million (FY17: $2.7 million loss).

 – Net profit for the year for ICMT of $9.1 million (FY17: $29.6 million profit).

 – Full year distributions of 10.75 cents per unit by ICF, nil from ICMT.

Capital Management
The Trusts adopt a prudent and considered approach to capital management. During the year, the Group refinanced 
a tranche of its common terms facilities, increasing the total Group facility limit by $50.0 million. The refinance provided 
increased tenor at a lower average margin. The weighted average term to maturity of Ingenia’s debt at 30 June 2018 
is 4.3 years.

As at 30 June 2018, the common terms facilities are drawn to $229.0 million, which represents a loan to value ratio (“LVR”) 
of 32.6% (inclusive of bank guarantees). The LVR is at the lower end of our target range of 30-40%. 

The Group has interest rate derivatives in place covering 41% of drawn debt at 30 June 2018.

In line with the Group’s strategy, the Trusts intend to fund near term growth through internal cash flows, divestment of non-
core assets and drawing on committed debt facilities. Ingenia continues to explore the concept of capital partnerships to 
accelerate the development of new lifestyle communities.

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

 – On 20 February 2018, the Directors declared an interim distribution for 2018 of 5.1cps, amounting to $10.6 million which 
was paid on 14 March 2018. The distribution was 21.3% tax deferred and the distribution reinvestment plan was in place.

 – On 21 August 2018, the Directors declared a final distribution of 5.65 cps amounting to $11.8 million, to be paid on 

14 September 2018. The final distribution is estimated to be fully taxable and the distribution reinvestment plan will 
apply to the distribution.

During FY18 the ICF elected to enter the Attribution Managed Investment Trust (“AMIT”) regime. Security holders will 
receive their first Attribution Managed Investment Trust Member Annual (“AMMA”) statement in September 2018.

FY19 Outlook
The Group is well positioned to continue growing its lifestyle communities business in FY19 with a sector leading 
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 make appropriate investment in key communities to grow 
revenue through investing in new cabins and facilities across the rental and tourism business. 

Ingenia Gardens remains a key contributor to the Group’s rental cash flow. Ingenia’s priority is to continue to grow 
occupancy and rents while delivering the best possible support to our residents.

The divestments made in the second half of FY18 and the divestments contracted at 30 June 2018 will temporarily 
impact the FY19 result due to lost earnings, while the capital proceeds are reinvested into development to grow long 
term recurring revenue streams in key locations. 

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

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
Changes in the state of affairs during the current period are set out in the various reports in the year-end financial report. 
Refer to Note 9 for investment properties acquired or disposed of during the year and Note 16 for issued units.

Events subsequent to reporting date

seniors rental property and tourism industry during the next financial year, with a continuing focus on the development of 
lifestyle communities. The Trusts will continue to pursue the divestment of non-core assets to support the Group’s capital 
recycling strategy.

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 laws 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.

Group indemnities 
The Trusts have purchased various insurance policies to cover a range or risks (subject to specified exclusions) for Directors, 
officers and employees of the Group serving in their respective capacities. Key insurance policies include: directors and 
officers insurance; professional indemnity insurance; and management liability insurance.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited Annual Report 2018Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

81

1.  Summary of significant accounting policies 

a.  The Trusts
Ingenia Communities Fund (ICF or the Fund) 
(ARSN 107 459 576) and 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 are stapled with the units 
of the Trusts and trade on the Australian Securities 
Exchange (ASX) effectively as one security. In this report, 
the Company and the Trusts are referred to collectively 
as the Group.

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 2018 was authorised for issue by the Directors 
on 21 August 2018.

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 (“AASB”) 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 AASB 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 a 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. 

c. 

 Adoption of New and Revised Accounting 
Standards

No new or revised standards and interpretations were 
issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Trusts 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 are able to be 
governed by a trust, 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. Intercompany 
balances and transactions including unrealised profits 
have been eliminated.

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

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

e.  Business Combinations and Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using 
the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition 
is measured as the fair value aggregate of the 
consideration transferred, at acquisition date, and the 
amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. 
For each business combination, the Trusts elect whether 
to measure 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 are expensed and included in other expenses.

When the Trusts acquire a business, they assess financial 
assets and liabilities 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 
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 consideration transferred and amount 
recognised for non-controlling interests, as well as and 
any previous interest held over the fair value of net 
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this 
consideration is lower than the fair value of the acquired 
subsidiary’s net assets, the difference is recognised in 
profit or loss.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

f.  Assets Held for Sale
Components of the entity are classified as held for sale if 
their carrying value will be recovered principally through 
a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount 
and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as 
investment property, which are carried at fair value.

The liabilities of an asset classified as held for sale are 
presented separately from other liabilities on the face 
of the balance sheet. 

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

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

h.  Foreign Currency 

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 statement of comprehensive income.

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.

Leases

i. 
Finance leases, where the Trust is lessee, 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, so as 
to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as 
an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

Finance leases, where the Trust is lessor, 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, so as to achieve a constant rate 
of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable. 
Interest is recognised as income in the statement of 
comprehensive income.

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 statement of comprehensive income on 
a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Plant and Equipment

j. 
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, the cost is recognised in the carrying amount 
of the plant and equipment as a replacement, if the 
recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and 
maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as 
incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the 
decommissioning of an asset after its use is included 
in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition 
criteria for a provision are met.

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

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

The fair value of financial instruments actively traded in 
organised financial markets are determined by reference 
to quoted market bid prices at close of business on 
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 substantially similar instrument; discounted cash 
flow analysis; option pricing models; making as much use 
of available and supportable market data; and keeping 
judgemental inputs to a minimum.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

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

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

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

Inventories

o. 
The Trusts hold inventory in relation to the acquisition 
and development of manufactured homes, as well as 
and service station fuel and supplies within the Lifestyle 
& Holidays segment. 

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

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

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

p.  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 
the contract is entered, and are subsequently remeasured 
to fair value.

Investment Property

q. 
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. Subsequently, investment 
properties are stated at fair value, reflecting market 
conditions at reporting date. Gains or losses arising from 
changes in the fair values of investment properties are 
included in the statement of comprehensive income in the 
period they arise, including the 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 measurement date, in 
the principal market for the asset or liability or the most 
advantageous market in its absence. 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 
revalued investment properties to fair value when their 
carrying value materially differs to their fair values. 

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

r. 
An intangible asset arising from software development 
expenditure 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 reliably measure the expenditure during its 
development. Costs capitalised include external direct 
costs of materials and service, direct payroll, and payroll 
related costs of employee time spent on projects.

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 seven 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.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Subsequent expenditure on 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 the derecognition of an 
intangible asset are measured as the difference between 
the net disposal proceeds, and the carrying amount of 
the asset. They are recognised in profit or loss when the 
asset is derecognised.

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, 
acquired intangible assets are carried at cost less any 
accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

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

t.  Retirement Village Resident Loans
The non-interest bearing loans are repayable on 
the departure of the resident. They are classified as 
financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, 
with resulting fair value adjustments recognised in the 
statement of comprehensive income. 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. 
This is 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 1(aa) and Note 15 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 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

v. 
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 unit holders’ interest as a reduction 
of the units proceeds received.

w.  Revenue
Revenue from rent, interest and distributions is recognised 
to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will 
flow to the Group, and can be reliably measured. Revenue 
brought to account but not received at balance date is 
recognised as a receivable. Interest income is recognised 
as the interest accrues, using the effective interest rate 
method.

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 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 and rewards of ownership, as well as 
effective control has been transferred to the buyer. 

Service station sales, food and beverage revenue 
represents the revenue earned from the provision of 
products and services to external parties. Sales revenue is 
only recognised when the significant risks and rewards of 
ownership of the products or service has been 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.

x.  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. 
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 
comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave:
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled wholly 
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 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 employees 
departing, and period of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields on high 
quality corporate bonds at the reporting date with terms to 
maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, 
the estimated future cash outflows.

y. 

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 unit holders each year. Tax 
allowances for building and fixtures depreciation are 
distributed to unit holders in the form of the tax-deferred 
component of distributions. ICMT and its subsidiaries are 
subject to Australian income tax.

Current tax assets and liabilities 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 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, unit holders may be entitled to 
receive a foreign tax credit for this withholding tax.

During FY18 ICF elected to enter the Attribution Managed 
Investment Trust (AMIT) regime.

Deferred income tax:
Deferred income tax represents tax (including withholding 
tax) expected to be payable or recoverable by taxable 
entities on differences between 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 not recognised 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.

z.  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.

aa.  Fair Value Measurement
The Trusts measure financial instruments, such as 
derivatives, investment properties, resident loans, certain 
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, at fair 
value at each balance sheet date. Refer to Note 22. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at 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 market participants 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 best use or by 
selling it to another market participant that would use the 
asset in its 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018 | continued

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued) 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured 
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 
within the fair value hierarchy, described below, 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 reassessing categorisation at the end of the 
reporting period. This is based on the lowest level input 
that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

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 month basis management presents valuation 
results to the Audit and Risk Committee as well as the 
Trusts’ auditors. This includes a review 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 (see Note 22).

bb.  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 derecognition 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, 
must be presented in other comprehensive income. The 
impact of the application of the standard is continuously 
being monitored by the Trusts’, and the Trusts’ expect to 
conclude on the impact in due course.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is 
applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2018. The Trusts have not early adopted this 
standard. The standard is based on the principle that 
revenue is recognised when control of a good or service 
is transferred to a customer. It contains a single model that 
applies to contracts with customers and two approaches 
to recognising revenue - at a point in time or over time. 
The model features a contract-based five-step analysis 
of transactions to determine whether, how much and 
when revenue is recognised. 

It applies to all contracts with customers except leases, 
financial instruments and insurance contracts. It requires 
reporting entities to provide users of financial statement 
with more informative and relevant disclosures. The 
application of the standard is not expected to have 
any material impact on the Trusts’ financial reporting 
in future periods.

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 twelve 
months unless the underlying asset is of low value. A 
lessee 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. These leases relate to the Group’s 
Sydney and Brisbane offices, which have a future minimum 
lease payments total of $2,402,000 at 30 June 2018. 

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.

cc.  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.

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.

All other assets are classified as non-current. 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 
Trusts to exercise judgement in the process of applying its 
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 makes estimates and assumptions concerning 
the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by 
definition, may not equal the related actual results. The 
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

i. Valuation of investment property
The Trusts have investment properties with a 
combined carrying amount of $759,112,000 (30 June 
2017: $693,473,000) (refer Note 8 and Note 9), and 
combined retirement village resident loans of $12,081,000 
(30 June 2017: $27,201,000) (refer Note 8 and 15) which 
together represent the estimated fair value of the Trust’s 
property business.

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

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

ii. Valuation of inventories
The Trusts have 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 of estimation, the 
amount the inventories are expected to realise, and the 
estimated costs of completion. Key assumptions require 
the use of management judgement, and are continually 
reviewed.

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

iv.  Valuation of assets acquired in business 

combinations

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

v. 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 ICMT as operator. The key assumption 
for calculating 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.

vi. 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. 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 invests predominantly in rental properties located in Australia with four reportable segments:

 –

 –

 –

Ingenia Lifestyle & 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; 

 – Fuel, Food & Beverage Services – Consists of the Group’s investment in service station operations and food & beverage 

activities attached to Ingenia Lifestyle & Holiday communities;

 – Corporate & Other – comprises deferred management fee villages and corporate overheads. 

The Trusts have 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 Trusts 
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”.

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.

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.

a.  Bank Debt 
Ingenia has $350.0 million in available debt facilities at 30 June 2018 (2017: $300.0 million). This increase of $50.0 million 
was a result of completing a refinance and extension of a tranche of the facilities during the year. The term of this tranche 
was extended from 12 February 2020 to 13 July 2023.

The total $350.0 million in debt facilities is provided by three Australian banks. The tranche maturity dates are:

 –

 –

12 February 2022 ($175.4 million); and

13 July 2023 ($174.6 million)

As at 30 June 2018, the facilities have been drawn to $229.0 million (30 June 2017: $166.5 million). The carrying value of 
investment property net of resident liabilities at reporting date for the Group’s Australian properties pledged as security is 
$701.8 million (30 June 2017: $602.9 million).

b.  Bank Guarantees
The Group has the ability to utilise its bank facilities to provide bank guarantees, which at 30 June 2018 were $11.4 million 
(30 June 2017: $10.8 million).

c.  Finance Leases
The Group has entered into finance leases for the following Lifestyle and Holidays investment properties:

 – Gosford City Council for the land and facilities of Ettalong Beach

 – Crown leases for the land of One Mile Beach

 – Crown lease for the land of Big 4 Broulee Beach

 – Crown lease for the land of South West Rocks

The leases are long-term in nature and range between 8 years to perpetuity.

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.

leases refer to Notes 6, 14 and 24.

19.  Contingencies
There are no known contingent liabilities other than the bank guarantees totalling $11.4 million provided for under the $350.0 
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 managed at a consolidated Group level (ICH and subsidiaries). 

At the Group level, the aim is to meet its strategic objectives, operational needs and maximise returns to security holders 
through the appropriate use of debt and equity, 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 refinance risk of maturing debt facilities and the potential for acceleration prior to 
maturity. 

In assessing this risk, the Group takes into account the relative stability of its income flows, the predictability of its expenses, 
its debt maturity 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.

One measure of the Group’s capital position is through Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) which is a key covenant under the Group’s 
$350.0 million common terms debt facilities. 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 2018, LVR is 32.6% compared to 27.7% at 30 June 2017.

In addition the Group also monitors Interest Cover Ratio as defined under the common terms of the debt facilities. 
At 30 June 2018, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 5.53x (2017: 5.36x) and the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 3.19x 
(2017: 3.52x).

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.

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.

At 30 June 2018 after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 21% of ICF’s borrowings are at 
a fixed rate of interest (2017: 29%).

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

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

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

Decrease in average interest rates of 100 bps:

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018 | continued

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.

Liquidity Risk

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

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

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

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

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

j.  Other Financial Instrument Risk 
The Trusts carry retirement village residents’ loans at fair value with resulting fair value adjustments recognised in the 
statement of comprehensive income. 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.

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 2018, 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
2018 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. 

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 21% 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 was 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 9 
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. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

• We considered the competence,

qualifications and objectivity 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 checked the mathematical
accuracy of their valuation models. We also
assessed competence and qualifications of
the internal valuer;

• We compared the property related data used
as input for both the external and internal
valuations against actual property
performance;

• We considered the key inputs and

assumptions used in the valuations by
comparing this information to external
market data; and

• Our real estate valuation specialists reviewed

a sample of internal and external valuations
to determine whether the key judgements
and methodology used were appropriate.

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 2018 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.

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 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

• We considered the competence,

qualifications and objectivity 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 checked the mathematical
accuracy of their valuation models. We also
assessed competence and qualifications of
the internal valuer;

• We compared the property related data used
as input for both the external and internal
valuations against actual and budgeted
property performance;

• We considered the key inputs and

assumptions used in the valuations by
comparing this information to external
market data;

• Our real estate valuation specialists reviewed

a sample of internal and external valuations
to determine whether the key judgements
and methodology used were appropriate; and

• We assessed the appropriateness of the

allocation of capital expenditure between
investment property and inventory assets.

Approximately 87% 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 was 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 9 to the financial 
report.  One of these categories is considered 
material and involve significant judgement. 

•

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 and allocation between
investment property and inventory, 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 $12.8m resulting from temporary differences 
and tax losses carried forward as disclosed in 
note 12 of 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 and the 
forecasting of this included assumptions and 
judgements made by the Group. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

• We evaluated assumptions and judgements

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

• We considered whether information used was

derived from the Group’s business cash flow
forecasts that have been subject to internal
reviews and were approved by the Directors.

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 2018 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

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.
