Chairman’s Letter

Growing our rental platform is fundamental to our strategy. Over 
the last year this platform has proven resilient, and the foundation 
for delivering stable cash flows in challenging conditions.

Dear Security holders
The 2020 financial year began well for 
the Group and at our half year results 
announced in February we expected to 
deliver another record year of growth, 
with strong settlements across our 
development business and increased 
forward bookings at our holiday parks. 
However, this momentum was disrupted 
by the COVID-19 pandemic and growth 
moderated as areas of our operations 
were impacted. 

Nevertheless, we were pleased with the 
Group’s results which were underpinned 
by recurring rents from a resident rental 
base which has been built over the past 
eight years and is largely supported by 
Commonwealth Government pension 
payments. 

We were fortunate to enter this crisis 
in a strong position and responded 
quickly and decisively to manage the 
impact on the business. Our priority 
was, and remains, the health and safety 
of our residents, guests and staff and it 
is pleasing to note that to date we have 
had no recorded cases of COVID-19 in 
our communities or offices. We also 
sought to actively manage our cost base, 
with the Board, head office and support 
staff taking temporary pay reductions 
and close monitoring of capital 
expenditure. In addition, casual staff 
were stood down for a period to reduce 
costs as holiday parks were subject to 
mandatory closures. Where possible, 
we used this period to undertake park 
maintenance.

In May we successfully raised $178 million 
in equity through a Security Purchase 
Plan and Placement. I thank security 
holders for their support of this raising, 
which allowed us to further strengthen 
the balance sheet and, importantly, to 
position for future growth as we deploy 
the equity raised into acquisitions and 
our development pipeline.

With restrictions in response to 
COVID-19 resulting in the loss of 
holiday park revenue and reduced 
home settlements as residents sought 
additional time to sell their current home, 
the FY20 result was supported by stable 
rents from the lifestyle and gardens 
communities, growth in rental sites via 
development and acquisition and cost 
management.

The Group delivered increases in revenue 
(up 7%), EBIT (up 17% to $71.9 million) 
and underlying profit per security (up 
5%). The full year distribution of 10.0 
cents per stapled security represented 
a decrease of 11% on FY19, following six 
years of consecutive growth. Underlying 
profit and distribution on a per security 
basis were impacted by the significant 
increase in securities on issue over 
the period.

 
Chairman’s Letter
continued

Ingenia Lifestyle Plantations, NSW

The security price grew over the year, 
from $3.25 on 1 July 2019 to close the 
year at $4.49 and has performed well 
since the 2020 financial year results 
were released, closing at $4.71 at the 
end of August. The Group was included 
in the S&P/ASX 200 Index in December 
2019 and substantially outperformed 
both the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation 
Index and the S&P/ASX 200 Property 
Accumulation Index over the one, three 
and ten-year period to 30 June 2020.

Over the year a focus on strong capital 
management was maintained, with 
the sale of non-core assets, the active 
Distribution Reinvestment Plan and 
equity raisings providing capital to 
position the Group for growth. At year 
end, the Group had $370 million in cash 
and available undrawn debt to fund 
further investment. 

Funds management business Eighth 
Gate Capital Management (acquired in 
August 2019) and the development Joint 
Venture with US based Sun Communities 
(NYSE: SUI) provided additional revenue 
streams as Ingenia generated fees 
for management and development 
services. These businesses leverage 
our established platform, diversify the 
Group’s capital partnerships, and extend 
Ingenia’s footprint in key markets. 
Both are expected to make a greater 
contribution to revenue in FY21.

Importantly, we have maintained a focus 
on the future as we navigate the current 
environment – with recently announced 
acquisitions, a strong balance sheet, 
new projects underway and an ongoing 
commitment to the health and safety of 
our residents, guests and staff we are 
well positioned to continue to grow.

As your Chairman I would like to thank 
all security holders for your continued 
support, and I look forward to providing 
an update on the business at our Annual 
General Meeting which will be held via 
a virtual format on 10 November 2020. 

Jim Hazel 
Chairman 

We released our first sustainability 
disclosures in July 2020, an important 
step in communicating with our security 
holders our progress and aspirations. 
The report focusses on the important 
role social, governance and environment 
(ESG) issues play in delivering 
sustainable value for our stakeholders.

While we remain cautious about the 
outlook given the unprecedented 
conditions we are operating in, 
uncertainty around future restrictions 
and the longer-term impacts of the 
pandemic, the business is well placed. 

The resilience of the Group’s resident 
rental streams and the attractiveness 
of Ingenia’s communities to a growing 
number of seniors is clear. The long-
term fundamental drivers of an ageing 
population that is increasingly viewing 
community living as an affordable 
and attractive housing choice remains 
unchanged. 

Whilst our Holidays business continues 
to be impacted by border closures, 
forward bookings have increased as 
restrictions eased, and we are well 
positioned to benefit as Australians 
seek domestic holidays.

CEO Update

Ingenia Lifestyle Freshwater, QLD

Ingenia’s performance in FY20 highlighted the resilience of a business model that has strong 
underlying rental cash flows, combined with a focus on continual improvement and growth.

The FY20 result demonstrated the 
strength of a business model and 
operating platform which continued to 
deliver performance despite the impact 
of COVID-19. A focus on the health and 
safety of residents and guests, growing 
rents, increasing occupancy, building 
and selling quality homes, integrating 
acquisitions and being vigilant on costs 
were key to delivering growth in FY20. 

Financial performance
Like many businesses in Australia, 
Ingenia was adversely impacted by 
COVID-19. Despite operating restrictions 
impacting the Lifestyle Development 
and Holidays segments, an increase 
in the Group’s rental base, growth 
in above ground margin per new 
home settlement, cost management 
and access to JobKeeper mitigated 
the impact of mandated closures of 
the Group’s holiday parks and lower 
settlements on the result.

In challenging conditions, revenue 
grew 7% to $244.2 million and 
operating cash flow of $67.2 million 
was up 13% as an increase in rental sites 
through development and acquisition 
contributed.

Statutory Profit of $31.5 million was 
up 7% on the 2019 result. Underlying 
Profit of $59.1 million increased 25% 
on the prior year and Net Asset Value 
per security (NAV) increased to $2.90 
(from $2.65 at 30 June 2019). 

Capital management
Over the year, $328.3 million in equity 
was raised to fund growth through 
acceleration of the development 
program and the acquisition of 
established communities and future 
development sites. 

The May 2020 equity raising of $178 
million positions the Group to capitalise 
on opportunities for growth arising due 
to potential market dislocation caused 
by COVID-19. 

At 30 June 2020, Ingenia’s loan to value 
ratio (LVR) was 8.4%, below the Group’s 
target range of 30-40%, providing 
significant capacity to grow the 
Group’s asset base as existing and new 
acquisition opportunities progress. 

The Group’s capital position has 
been further enhanced through the 
development Joint Venture with 
Sun Communities and the funds 
management platform. 

Building the rental base
A core focus over the past eight 
years has been growing exposure 
to the lifestyle and holidays market 
via acquisitions and increased 
development. 

This focus continued over FY20, with 
settlement of 325 new homes and 
acquisitions including:

 — Colonial Village (now Taigum), 

located in Brisbane CBD 

 — Lake Munmorah lifestyle community 

on the NSW Central Coast
 — Bevington Shores lifestyle 

community on the NSW Central 
Coast

 — Land adjacent to Avina (NSW), 

Hervey Bay (QLD) and Rivershore 
Resort (QLD).

Since year end this growth has continued 
with the acquisition of Sunnylake Shores 
(an established lifestyle community on 
the NSW Central Coast) and a greenfield 
development site at Ballarat in Victoria 
complete in July 2020.

Operating platform delivering 
growing returns
Over the year, the 26-village Ingenia 
Gardens portfolio reached an all-time 
high occupancy, with strong rent 
collections and no increase in defaults.

The Ingenia lifestyle and holidays 
portfolio continued to expand and 
grow returns. Lifestyle rental revenue 
increased by 27%, with tourism 
revenue down only 6% despite holiday 
park closures due to bushfires and 
COVID-19. The addition of tourism 
cabins and rental homes to existing 
communities, new acquisitions and 
development continue to be a focus to 
drive enhanced returns and leverage 
the Group’s established platform.

Ingenia Holidays Lake Macquarie, NSW

In closing, I would like to thank the Board 
for their support and guidance and the 
management team and all employees 
for their unwavering commitment 
particularly in these unprecedented 
times – it is testament to their efforts 
that we have managed to maintain 
momentum across the business despite 
continuing headwinds and are well 
placed for the future. Finally, I would 
like to thank our residents, guests, and 
security holders for their ongoing trust 
and support of Ingenia’s business. 

Simon Owen 
Chief Executive Officer  
and Managing Director 

Moving into FY21, forward holiday 
bookings have responded positively 
to the easing of restrictions and home 
settlements have been strong compared 
to prior year.

The funds management business 
(Eighth Gate Capital Management), 
was successfully integrated following 
acquisition in August 2019 and delivered 
initial management fees and returns from 
the Group’s co-investment in the nine 
established communities owned by the 
funds in FY20. Growth in this business is 
anticipated over the 2021 calendar year.

Development
Development was progressed at ten 
communities over FY20 with new 
communities expected to be launched 
in FY21. New home sales achieved a near 
record result with 325 homes settled, 
despite disruption due to COVID-19. 
An increase in above ground margin per 
home offset lower volumes, to generate 
an increase in EBIT of 19%. The new 
rental contracts created will contribute 
$3 million in rental revenue annually. 
Home prices and rents for new homes 
also continued to increase. 

Greenfield communities, Latitude One 
(Anna Bay, NSW) and Plantations 
(Coffs Harbour, NSW), again displayed 
strong demand, contributing 149 new 
settlements. 

The development Joint Venture with 
Sun Communities completed its first 
home settlements, at Ingenia Lifestyle 
Freshwater (QLD), with further projects 
expected to commence in FY21. 

Ingenia provides only half of the 
required funding, while receiving fees 
for services and preserving the right to 
fully own the completed community.

Ingenia is now capitalising on the 
significant investment made in the 
development business, as margins 
grow with increasing scale. 

Outlook
The Group’s acquisition pipeline remains 
strong. Ingenia is well capitalised 
and ideally positioned to utilise 
any market dislocation to become 
a clear sector leader. 

With two acquisitions settled in July 
2020, a dedicated acquisitions team 
and due diligence underway on several 
established and development projects, 
growth in the asset base remains 
a priority.

Continuing to build market scale and 
sector leadership, while managing 
near term pandemic related challenges 
remains the Group’s strategic focus.

In light of current market uncertainties, 
guidance for FY21 has not been 
provided, however the underlying 
demand fundamentals for the business 
remain strong – an ageing population, 
housing affordability and the appeal 
of community living are expected to 
drive ongoing demand for Ingenia’s 
communities. 

With a growing focus on 
acquisitions and ongoing 
development, Ingenia is 
expanding this portfolio 
and delivering growth. 

Ingenia Lifestyle 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 $72.2 million 
in FY20 (up 6% on the prior 
year). The strong growth (27%) 
in permanent rental income was 
partially offset by the temporary 
closure of holiday parks which 
reduced tourism income (down 
6% on the prior year).

The EBIT contribution of $29.8 
million was up 9% on the prior 
year, driven by a growing rental 
base as $76 million in acquisitions 
contributed and new home 
settlements and additional rental 
cabins were added to existing 
communities. 

New home at Ingenia Lifestyle Plantations, NSW

The core of this portfolio is rental 
revenue generated from residents 
who generally fund their rental 
payments via government 
pension and rental assistance. 
Through COVID-19, this revenue 
has remained consistent with 
no loss of rent or increase in 
bad debts.

Future growth will be generated 
as the portfolio benefits from 
the addition of 850 income 
producing sites in FY20, 
acquisitions are completed, 
and new homes are added 
to existing communities.

Development

Ingenia’s development 
program supports further 
rental growth as new 
home settlements add to 
the Group’s rental base.

The development business 
achieved a near record for 
new home settlements, with 
325 homes settled, despite 
restrictions which slowed sales 
inspections and settlements 
in the fourth quarter. An 
increase in the average home 
sales price grew gross new 
home development profit to 
$59.0 million (up 15%). 

In addition to four established 
greenfield projects, including the 
first development for the Joint 
Venture with Sun Communities, 
expansion has continued at 
several communities. 

New home product was also 
developed to expand the appeal 
of the Group’s communities, 
with homes now for sale from 
$199,000 to over $900,000.

Additional scale is generating 
efficiencies, with the EBIT margin 
for the development business 
growing to 31.5% (from 28.1% 
in FY19).

New projects to commence 
in FY21 include the expansion 
of Lara and a greenfield 
development at Ballarat in 
Victoria (Ingenia) and a 427-
home greenfield development 
at Morisset on the NSW Central 
Coast via the Group’s Joint 
Venture.

Additional sites are actively 
being assessed and further 
opportunities have been 
identified via the Group’s 
dedicated acquisitions team.

The 205 deposits and contracts 
already in place at 16 August 
2020, combined with the ability 
to leverage the Group’s scale and 
generate fees through delivery 
of development projects for the 
Joint Venture is expected to 
support development returns 
and the creation of new rental 
contracts in FY21.

Tourism is a 
complementary strong 
cash flow business which 
caters to Australian 
seniors and families. 

Ingenia Holidays provides tourism 
accommodation including villas, 
cabins, caravan and camping 
sites which are attractive to ‘grey 
nomads’ and families alike and 
is heavily leveraged to domestic 
travel.

Over the 2020 financial year, 
performance was impacted 
by the closure of some parks 
on the NSW South Coast over 
December/January and of all 
parks from late March to June 
because of COVID-19. Despite 
closures during the traditional 
peak Christmas and Easter 
trading periods, revenue was 
down only 6% on the prior year. 
Cost management, access to 
JobKeeper and the transition of 
some sites to short-term rental 
partially offset lower earnings, 
and the cost of re-employing 
park staff.

While operating conditions 
remain uncertain, forward 
bookings have increased in 

Ingenia Holidays Rivershore, QLD 

FY21 and the business should 
benefit as demand for domestic 
travel is anticipated to grow.

Ingenia Holidays is well 
positioned for intrastate travel 
and a desire for ‘low rise’ drive 
holidays as people seek domestic 
travel alternatives.

Average resident tenure for 
care clients in Ingenia Gardens 
communities (at 4 years) is well 
above the portfolio average. 

The Group’s popular Activate 
program, which provides 
activities and outings for 
residents, also supports 
community engagement and 
resident wellbeing. The program 
was adjusted through COVID-19 
restrictions to maintain resident 
health, engagement, and well-
being while socially distancing.

Ingenia is currently assessing 
options for expansion through 
repurposing of vacant premises 
into new Ingenia Gardens 
communities.

The Ingenia Gardens 
portfolio provides 
stable recurring cash 
flows underpinned by 
Government payments 
(pension and rent 
assistance).

Over the year the Ingenia 
Gardens portfolio reached a new 
record high occupancy, of 94.4% 
and maintained average weekly 
rents of $342, with no increase 
in defaults. 

Residents were attracted to the 
supported environment Ingenia 
Gardens offers, with a reduction 
in move-outs contributing to 
occupancy growth. 

‘Ingenia Care’, a ‘concierge’ style 
service offered to residents 
for no charge, has continued 
to grow, assisting residents to 
age in place and supporting 
their health and wellbeing.

Funds Management

The Funds Management 
platform provides an 
opportunity to co-invest 
alongside fund investors 
while enhancing returns 
through additional 
fee streams.

Ingenia acquired Eighth Gate 
Capital Management in August 
2019, in conjunction with the 
acquisition of a stake in each 
of the six managed funds. 

Following Ingenia’s acquisition 
of an approved development site 
in Ballarat, Victoria in July 2020 
the funds are now focussed on 
stabilised yield. 

The nine established 
communities operate under the 
Allswell Communities brand and 
are located on the east coast of 
Australia, expanding Ingenia’s 
presence in the key markets 
of Victoria, NSW, and QLD.

In FY20 Ingenia derived 
$1.8 million in income from 
the funds business.

The funds have a defined term 
and in addition to earning fees 
for services to the funds, Ingenia 
retains the right to acquire the 
fund assets on wind-up.

Sustainability

As one of the largest 
owners, operators and 
developers of quality land 
lease communities and 
holiday parks, thousands 
of people every day are 
impacted by Ingenia’s 
business. 

The Group’s first sustainability 
report, which can be found on the 
Group’s website, is an important 
step in Ingenia’s sustainability 
journey and is focussed 
on the importance social, 
governance and environment 
(ESG) issues play in delivering 
sustainable value for the Group’s 
stakeholders. It contains more 
detail on the Group’s progress, 
objectives, and current initiatives.

Over FY20, key initiatives 
included:

 — Proactively engaging with 
key stakeholders as the 
COVID-19 pandemic evolved, 
to ensure that community 
operations were adapted to 
deal with health advice, staff 
were appropriately supported 
to work from home and 
residents remained engaged 
and supported

 — Investing in our communities 
through local volunteering 
and support and through 
our Group-wide initiative, 
Ingenia Aspire 

 — Introducing additional 

platforms to support 
our people to deliver 
performance and advance 
their careers with the Group

 — Consolidating our waste, 

energy and water suppliers 
and working with suppliers 
to access consistent data 

 — Evolving the building 

methodology for new homes 
within our communities to 
provide more sustainable 
homes for incoming residents

 — Engaging with the Green 

Building Council of Australia 
(GBCA) to consider potential 
industry standards and 
ratings tools applicable to 
lifestyle communities.

Over the next twelve months we 
plan to work with our suppliers, 
industry bodies and relevant 
subject experts to understand 
our environmental impacts 
and extend our initiatives and 
report more fully. 

Key initiatives in FY21 include:

 — Participating in the Green 

Building Council of Australia 
(GBCA) Green Star for 
Homes Early Access Program

 — Identifying appropriate 

measurements and goals 
for reductions in energy use, 
water use and waste recycling

 — Continuing to invest in solar 
across 50 communities 
to reduce non-renewable 
energy consumption

 — Installing LED lighting across 
the Group’s holiday parks

 — Further refining our 
objectives to foster 
the creation of more 
resilient and sustainable 
communities through future 
development and reduce 
the environmental impact 
of the Group’s operations.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited Annual Report 2020Directors’ Report

For the year ended 30 June 2020

lifestyle and holiday communities (Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays) and 26 rental communities (Ingenia Gardens). The Group 
manages a further 11 communities through its development JV and funds management platform. The Group was included in

FY20 financial results
The year to 30 June 2020 delivered total revenue of $244.2 million, up 7% on the prior year. The Group built and sold 
3251 turnkey homes (30 Jun 2019: 336 homes) and grew Lifestyle and Holidays rental income from permanent, annual and 
tourism clients to $72.5 million (30 Jun 2019: $67.7 million).

Statutory profit of $31.5 million was up 7% on the prior year. The statutory result reflects the combination of growth in 
underlying earnings and fair value movements on investment property arising from: improved capitalisation rates, offset by 
transaction costs on new acquisitions and; a reduction of fair value associated with the realisation of development profits 
on settlement.

Underlying profit from continuing operations was $59.1 million, which represents an increase of $11.9 million (25%) on the 
prior year. The underlying result is underpinned by a significantly higher EBIT contribution from the Lifestyle Development 
segment which was up 19% on prior corresponding period, and from the Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays segment which 
was up 9% on the prior corresponding period. Ingenia Gardens EBIT was $10.2 million, up 2% from the prior corresponding 
period. The Lifestyle Development and Holidays segments were impacted by COVID-19 and the early 2020 bushfires, which 
had an adverse effect on the 2020 financial results. 

Operating cash flow for the period was $67.2 million, up 13% from the prior year, reflecting growth in lifestyle home profits, 
growth in recurring rental income and the impact of new operational parks acquired in the period.

During the year, the Group successfully raised $328.3 million through the following:

 – November 19: $131.1 million accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (ANREO) to existing security holders and 

a placement to institutional investors;

 – May 20: $150.0 million placement to institutional investors;

 –

June 20: $27.9 million via a share purchase plan (SPP) to existing security holders; and

 – $19.3 million under the Distribution Reinvestment Plan. 

The proceeds from these equity raises have been and will continue to be invested into acquisitions to expand the Group’s 
portfolio of lifestyle communities and to provide additional equity for the Group’s joint venture with Sun Communities. 

The Group grew its investment in lifestyle communities during the period, 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. The Group invested part of the equity raised to acquire Bevington Shores, Taigum (Colonial 
Village) and land adjacent to Ingenia Holidays Rivershore.

The Group continued to divest non-core assets to support the Group’s capital recycling strategy, with the divestment of 
Ingenia Lifestyle Mudgee Valley in 1H20.

COVID-19 had an adverse impact on the FY20 result. The Group’s holidays business was materially impacted with the 
mandated closure of tourist parks from late March until June 2020 and the closure of domestic and international borders. 
Home settlement figures were also negatively impacted by social distancing restrictions which prevented auctions and the 
viewing of open homes as well as consumer sentiment.

In response to COVID-19, Ingenia took decisive action, immediately reducing variable costs, standing down a number of 
casual staff and implementing companywide cost saving initiatives, including a voluntary 20% temporary pay reduction 
for salaried staff and NEDs. The Group was subsequently eligible to receive the JobKeeper subsidy, allowing the Group 
to re-employ eligible employees and limit further staff reductions.

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

Segment performance and priorities

Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays Operations
At 30 June 2020, Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays comprised 35 communities that offer an affordable community experience 
for seniors and tourism guests. Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays EBIT grew 9% on FY19 to $29.8 million. 

During FY20, the Group continued to expand its rental assets by delivering 318 new settlements from its development 
business and completing the acquisition of established communities (Taigum and Bevington Shores). The Group also 
undertook the divestment of one non-core asset, Ingenia Lifestyle Mudgee Valley, to support the Group’s capital recycling 
strategy.

Permanent rental income grew by 27% on the prior corresponding period, as a result of acquisitions completed in FY19 and 
the acquisitions of Taigum, Bevington Shores and Lake Munmorah in FY20, the settlement of new homes, investment in new 
rental cabins and rental growth across the portfolio. 

Tourism rental income decreased by 6% largely driven by the impact of January bushfires on the NSW South Coast and 
COVID-19 restrictions requiring park closures and limiting travel for holiday makers. The Group’s ability to manage its cost 
base during the closures reduced the impact on EBIT. 

Lifestyle and Holidays EBIT stabilised margin improved marginally from the prior year driven by the increase in rental sites 
from development and acquisitions, offset by lower tourism revenue which was adversely impacted by NSW South Coast 
bushfires and COVID-19.

The carrying value of the Lifestyle and Holidays investment property at 30 June 2020 is $672.8 million (30 Jun 2019: 
$565.3 million).

Strategic priorities
The strategic priorities for Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays are: growing rental returns; integrating recent acquisitions and 
completed development sites; leveraging scale efficiencies, growing holiday bookings; and investing in new rental and 
tourism cabins.

The fuel, food and beverage offering continues to complement tourism revenue, with the Group focusing on improving the 
offering and returns from venues that have recently been acquired and internalised.

Ingenia Lifestyle Development
The earnings contribution from development has continued to grow with development now underway at 9 communities 
and new turnkey settlement volumes down 5% from the prior year driven by a softer fourth quarter due to the impact of 
COVID-19. Ingenia delivered 318 new turnkey settlements in FY20 (30 Jun 2019: 336).

This result reflects increased awareness and interest in the market, the launch of a new community at Hervey Bay in QLD 
and Ingenia’s quality sales and development platform. The Group currently has a strong development pipeline of 3,015 
potential new home sites (30 Jun 2019: 3,713 sites).

The carrying value of the Ingenia Lifestyle Development investment property at 30 June 2020 is $131.3 million (30 Jun 2019: 
$149.4 million).

Strategic priorities
The Joint Venture’s objective is to acquire greenfield sites in key metro and coastal markets to develop a significant portfolio 
of new lifestyle communities. The Joint Venture leverages the expertise and local market knowledge of Ingenia to identify, 
acquire and develop sites. Once homes are sold, Ingenia will also provide operational services to the lifestyle communities. At

development and management fees for these services plus a performance fee for above hurdle rate returns.

owned subsidiaries (collectively, “EGCM”) a funds and asset management business which manages six funds, that invest 
in lifestyle and holiday communities situated in NSW, QLD and VIC. The Group receives fees for the management and 
development of the assets and management of the funds.

At acquisition, the Group also co-invested into each of the six funds, to ensure alignment with the funds’ investors. The 
investment in the funds generates asset ownership and development revenue streams.

Strategic priorities
The strategic priorities of the funds management business is to leverage the Group’s platform to provide additional growth 
and deliver fund performance to investors.

Capital management of the Group
During the year, the Group raised $328.3 million in new equity through the issue of 89.2 million new securities in FY20. The 
Group has three debt facilities with a combined facility limit of $450.0 million. The weighted average term to maturity of 
Ingenia’s debt at 30 June 2020 is 3.3 years with the first debt expiry in February 2022. As at 30 June 2020, the debt facilities 
were drawn to $73.0 million. 

The Group’s Loan to Value Ratio (“LVR”) was 8.4% and gearing was 5.7% at 30 June 2020, which are below FY19 due to the 
completion of the equity raise in June 2020. The funds raised are anticipated to be deployed across FY21 and FY22. 

The Group intends to fund near term growth through deployment of the equity raise proceeds into new acquisitions, 
operating cash flows, divestment of non-core assets and drawing on committed debt facilities.

Operating cash flow for the Group was up 13.3% to $67.2 million, reflecting the contribution from new acquisitions in FY19 
and FY20, the growth in recurring net rental income from lifestyle and rental communities, and the cash inflow associated 
with the sale of new lifestyle homes at an improved margin.

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

 – On 18 February 2020, the Directors declared an interim distribution of 5.6 cps, amounting to $15.2 million which was paid on 

26 March 2020.

 – On 18 August 2020, the Directors declared a final distribution of 4.4 cps amounting to $14.3 million, to be paid on 

24 September 2020.

FY21 outlook
The Group’s strong balance sheet and low level of gearing places Ingenia in a strong position to manage the risks associated 
with COVID-19. Ingenia expects to be a major beneficiary from the rebound in domestic tourism as international borders 
remain closed and is well positioned to meet the anticipated increase in demand for affordable housing from downsizers. 

The Group will continue to grow its lifestyle communities business in FY21 with a significant development pipeline, an 
innovative and adaptable sales approach, increasing consumer awareness and demand and a broader range of capital 
partnerships. The Group will acquire mature lifestyle and holiday communities where on strategy opportunities can be 
identified.

The priority for existing lifestyle and holiday communities is to improve performance of existing assets by delivering 
rental growth and investing in new rental homes and tourism cabins within existing communities. The creation of new rent 
contracts via existing and new development projects will contribute development profits and growth in the rental base.

Message from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee
Dear Security holders,

The Board of ICH (Ingenia) is pleased to present the Remuneration Report for FY20. The Board is committed to clear and 
transparent communication of Ingenia’s remuneration arrangements and ongoing review of the Group’s remuneration 
philosophy and practices. Consistent with this commitment, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (RNC) 
undertakes regular reviews of the remuneration framework to ensure it is “fit for purpose” and aligns executive remuneration 
with performance outcomes and security holder returns.

There was no change to the basic structure of Executive Key Management Personnel (KMP) remuneration in FY20. We 
continue to be mindful of feedback from investors and over the past year reviewed a number of areas of remuneration, 
including our transparency in relation to achievement of short-term incentive KPIs and the grossing up of distributions on 
vested rights during the accrual period. Disclosure has been enhanced to address these concerns. We are appreciative of the 
support received for remuneration resolutions at our AGM in November 2019 and remain committed to ongoing engagement 
with investors.

Remuneration outcomes for FY20
Management achieved strong financial and operating performance in a year of extraordinary challenge posed by 
devastating bushfires in January and the COVID-19 pandemic in the final quarter which included mandated closure of a 
number of Holiday Parks. The Group’s return on equity and earnings per security outcomes were adversely impacted by 
equity raisings completed during the year which strengthened our balance sheet but were dilutive as the proceeds take time 
to deploy.

During FY20, there was a moderate increase to KMP base salary which was offset by a 20% temporary reduction to salaries 
in April and May in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the mandated closure of Ingenia’s holiday parks.

Executive Short Term Incentive (STI) awards ranged from 65 to 67 percent of maximum opportunity in FY20, well below the 
prior year as a result of COVID-19. These outcomes were based on actual results achieved. The Board did not exercise any 
discretion to adjust for the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The principal financial impacts of COVID-19 were reduced 
tourism revenues and slowed home settlements. These impacts were offset by the introduction of cost saving measures and 
the JobKeeper subsidy of $4.4M which allowed the Group to re-engage the majority of employees stood down at the start 
of the pandemic.

Mr Owen was awarded an STI of 67% based on his performance. Due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the business, 
staff and residents, it was agreed to award all of this STI in the form of deferred rights with no cash component.

The Board determined that the profit sustainability threshold had been met to allow FY19 deferred STIs to vest in full.

Security holders approved the FY20 Long Term Incentive (LTI) performance hurdles for the CEO/MD at the 2019 AGM, 
with these hurdles also applicable to the CFO and COO. These hurdles link LTI outcomes to security holder returns and the 
achievement of Return on Equity and underlying earnings growth targets.

Looking ahead
With the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic extending into FY21 the RNC will continue to monitor business performance and 
remuneration practices to ensure they remain fit for purpose. In particular:

 – Review of base salaries has been deferred from the start of the financial year until later in 2020.

 – We are considering the impact of a lower growth environment on the performance hurdles for future LTI issues.

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 10 November 2020.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

Introduction
The Board is pleased to present the Remuneration Report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020, 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.

1.  Remuneration Governance

1.1.  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 high calibre people.

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;

 – The Group’s culture;

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

 – The need to ensure executive continuity and succession.

1.2.  Link between remuneration and performance
The Board aims to ensure alignment between 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 and the 
achievement of strategic objectives. 

The components of remuneration and their link to Group performance is outlined in the table below:

Principles

Remuneration Component

Measure

Fixed remuneration 
should be fair, competitive 
and benchmarked to 
comparable market roles.

Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) 
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.

External benchmarking undertaken by 
Guerdon Associates.

The RNC reviews and makes 
recommendations to the Board in 
relation to TFR levels for executive KMP 
at least annually.

A significant portion of 
remuneration should be 
‘at risk’ and awarded to 
executives based on the 
achievement of agreed 
objectives and hurdles.

Remuneration should be 
aligned to the interests 
of all security holders 
and build ownership and 
alignment.

The Board maintains 
sole discretion over the 
granting of equity rights 
as remuneration to 
employees.

Short Term Incentive (STIs)
For achievement of STIs in relation to executive KMP, 
the payment is:

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

 – CFO and COO: 50% cash and 50% deferred 

equity rights 

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

KPIs comprise:

 – Financial outcomes

 – Operational targets

 – Health and safety

 – Capital management

 – People, Culture, Systems & Process

STI equity rights are deferred for 12 months. 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. 

STI equity rights vest subject to a Board assessment 
and a malus provision during the deferral period 
where Rights may be forfeited if underlying earnings 
growth is not sustainable or circumstances set 
out in the Rights Plan Rules occur (such as fraud, 
dishonesty, a breach of obligations or material 
misstatement of Ingenia’s financial position).

Principles

Remuneration Component

Measure

Long-Term Incentive (LTIs)
LTI equity rights are granted to executive KMP 
to align their focus with the Group’s strategy and 
overall financial outcomes. 

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

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.

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.

 – Average Underlying Earnings per 

Security (Underlying EPS) growth 
over the three financial years.

1.3.  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 FY20 and the maximum remuneration for executive 
KMP is detailed below.

2.2.  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 fringe benefits 
tax (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 at least annually. 
In reviewing fixed remuneration, the RNC reviews remuneration for comparable roles across a range of active Real Estate 
Investment Trusts (REITs) as well as property, health and specialised services companies. 

For the 2020 financial year TFR increased modestly for the CEO and executive KMP, as shown in the table below. This was 
subsequently reduced by 20% for 6 weeks as a response to COVID-19.

Data ranges for the CEO, CFO and COO FY20 TFR were provided by Guerdon Associates. The RNC determined the 
appropriate TFR of individual KMP with reference to these data ranges and the individual role, experience and responsibilities. 
Those recommendations were approved by the Board.

2.3.  Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
The current Rights Plan was approved by security holders at the AGM held on 12 November 2019. 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.

Under the FY20 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 FY20 STI Equity Rights are subject to the following terms and conditions:

 – A one-year deferral period and are eligible to vest on the date that is 12 months following the grant date, which is expected 

to be 1 October 2020;

 – A ‘malus’ provision during the deferral period;

 – From the vesting date the executive may exercise their rights and have the relevant number of Ingenia securities issued 
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 CEO’s maximum potential FY20 STIP deferred equity component was approved by security holders at the AGM held on 
12 November 2019. 

For FY20, Mr Owen was awarded an STI of 67% based on his performance. Due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the 
business, staff and residents, it was agreed to award all of this STI in the form of deferred rights with no cash component.

Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 

2.4. 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. 

Details of the FY19 LTIP Performance Conditions can be found in the 30 June 2019 Remuneration Report, available on the 
Group’s website. 

Relative TSR Performance Condition (40%)
The Relative TSR hurdle is growth in Ingenia’s TSR relative to growth in the ASX 200 A-REIT index (Index), measured over 
a three-year period ending on 30 September 2022. 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 of the performance period and the 
30 days up to and including the end-trading day of the performance period. 

FY20 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 total return + 1%

Nil

Between Threshold and Maximum Between Index total return + 1% and Index 

total return + 5%

10% plus an additional amount 
progressively vesting on a straight-line 
basis between Threshold and Maximum

Maximum

Equal to or greater than Index total return 
+ 5%

100%

ROE Performance Condition (30%)
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 FY20, the relevant metric is ROE achieved for FY22 on the 
following basis:

At or below Threshold

Less than 8%

Nil

ROE

% of Rights that vest

Between Threshold and Maximum Between 8% and 10%

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

Maximum

Equal to or greater than 10%

100%

Average Underlying Earning Per Security (EPS) Performance Condition (30%)
The Average Underlying EPS Performance Condition is intended to focus executive KMP on improving medium to long-term 
underlying earnings.

Underlying EPS defined as underlying profit divided by the weighted average number of securities outstanding. The relevant 
metric is Average Underlying EPS Growth for the period FY20 to FY22, with the FY19 base year Underlying EPS being 21.0 cps.

At or below Threshold

Equal to or less than 5%

Nil

Average underlying EPS growth

% of Rights that vest

Between Threshold and Maximum Between 5% and 10%

10% plus an additional amount 
progressively vesting on a straight-line 
basis between Threshold and Maximum

Maximum

Equal to or greater than 10%

100%

The FY20 LTIP methodology determines security value as the VWAP of Ingenia securities in the 30-day trading period 
ending on 1 October 2019. The number of LTIP Rights granted in FY20 was calculated by dividing the LTIP award by the 
security value (as defined above). 

FY20 LTIP Rights grants will be entitled 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. 
Executives do not receive distributions (cash or accrued) on securities underlying any Rights that do not vest or remain 
unexercised.

Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued)

3.  Non-executive Directors’ Remuneration
Ingenia Communities Group’s remuneration policy for Non-Executive Directors aims to ensure that the Group attracts and 
retains suitably skilled and experienced individuals to serve on the Board and to remunerate them appropriate for their time, 
expertise and responsibilities and liabilities as public company directors. 

The Nomination and Remuneration Committees is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes 
to Board and Committee remuneration, considering the size and scope of the Group’s activities and the responsibilities and 
liabilities of directors. In developing its recommendations, the Committee may take advice from external consultants.

NEDs are remunerated by way of cash and mandated superannuation. They do not participate in performance-based 
remuneration plans unless approved by security holders. The Group currently has no intention to remunerate NEDs by any 
way other than cash benefits.

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. All independent NEDs have self-funded the purchase of Ingenia securities on market as shown below in 
section 3.2.

3.1.  Non-Executive Directors’ Fees
The NED fee is reviewed annually with any changes effective 1 December. Annual NED fees, inclusive of superannuation, are 
detailed below:

Chairman

Non-Executive Director

Deputy Chairman

Committee Chair

Committee Member

$15,350

$2,600

$2,600

During FY20 Directors fees were reduced by 20% for a period of 2 months, as part of the Group’s response to the COVID-19 
pandemic.

3.2.  Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration
The maximum aggregate fee pool available to NEDs is $1,000,000 as stipulated in the Constitution that was adopted 
prior to the Group’s internalisation in 2012. Total remuneration paid to Directors in FY20 was $651,213, well below the total 
remuneration available to Directors. 

The following table outlines the remuneration provided to NEDs for FY20 and FY19, inclusive of superannuation, and 
their compliance with the policy outlined above in relation to self-funding a security holding in excess of one year’s gross 
Director fees.

4.  Other Remuneration Information

4.1.  Remuneration governance
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);

 – Robert Morrison; and

 – Andrew McEvoy.

The RNC provides oversight for KMP and other executives, 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.

4.2. External remuneration advisers
Guerdon Associates, initially engaged in March 2014, provided independent remuneration advice during FY20 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. 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.

Treatment of Rights
Where a Participant holding unvested Rights ceases to be an employee of the Group, those Rights immediately lapse. 
Notwithstanding the above, where a Participant holding unvested Rights ceases to be an employee of the Group due to a 
Qualifying Reason, the Board may determine in its discretion, the treatment of those unvested Rights.

Qualifying Reason means:

 –

the death, total and permanent disablement, retirement or redundancy of the Participant as determined by the Board in its 
absolute discretion; or

 –

any other reason with the approval of the Board.

In the event of a change in control, the Board has absolute discretion as to the treatment of unvested LTIP rights. In 
exercising discretion, the Board will consider:

 – The employee’s length of service in relation to each unvested grant;

 – Performance to the date of the change in control on any performance measures specified for each grant; and

 – Any other factors that the Board considers relevant.

4.5. Details of KMP

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited Annual Report 2020Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2020

29

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 
2020 was authorised for issue by the Directors on 18 
August 2020.

(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, residents’ 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

The Group has adopted, for the first time, AASB 16 
Leases for reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2019. 
The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, 
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and 
requires lessees to account for most leases under a single 
on-balance sheet model.

Upon adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease 
liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets 
representing the right to use the underlying assets, using 
the modified retrospective method. Under this method, 
the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative 
effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the 
date of initial application. Consequently, as permitted 
under the specific transitional provisions in the standard, 
the Group has not restated prior period comparatives. 

The Group also elected to use the recognition exemptions 
for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have 
a short-term lease of 12 months or less and do not contain 
a purchase option, and lease contracts for which the 
underlying asset is of low-value. 

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract 
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset 
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement 
approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and 
leases of low-value assets which are recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The 
Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments 
and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the 
underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the 
commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are 
measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of 
lease liabilities. 

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of 
lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and 
lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date less any lease incentives received. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.

Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group 
recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of 
lease payments to be made over the lease term. 

The lease payments include fixed less any lease incentives 
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an 
index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under 
residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include 
the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain 
to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for 
terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group 
exercising the option to terminate.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index 
or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which 
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the 
Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease. After 
the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities 
is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and 
reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the 
carrying value of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a 
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the 
lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting 
from a change in an index or rate used to determine such 
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an 
option to purchase the underlying asset. The Group’s lease 
liabilities are included in Borrowings (Note 20).

Leases for investment property which apply the fair value 
model are classified as investment property per AASB 140 
Investment Properties.

The Group has adopted for the first time AASB 
Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatment 
for reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2020. It does not 
apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of AASB 112, nor 
does it specifically include requirements relating to interest 
and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. 

The Group applies significant judgement in identifying 
uncertainties over income tax treatments. Since the 
Group operates in a complex environment, the Group 
assessed whether the Interpretation had an impact on its 
consolidated financial statements and determined that the 
Interpretation did not have an impact.

(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. 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. 

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more 
frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that 
it might impaired. An impairment loss is recognised 
when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its 
recoverable amount, calculated as the higher of fair value 
less costs of disposal and the value in use. Impairment 
losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of 
Comprehensive Income.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are 
grouped at the lowest levels for which goodwill is 
monitored for management purposes and allocated to 
cash generating units (“CGU”). The assumptions used for 
determining the recoverable amount of the CGU are based 
on the expectation for the future, utilising both internal and 
external sources of data and relevant market trends.

(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 value 
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.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(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.

(i)  Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract 
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset 
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement 
approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and 
leases of low-value assets which are recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The 
Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments 
and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the 
underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the 
commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are 
measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of 
lease liabilities. 

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of 
lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and 
lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date less any lease incentives received. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.

Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group 
recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of 
lease payments to be made over the lease term. 

The lease payments include fixed less any lease incentives 
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an 
index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under 
residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include 
the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain 

to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for 
terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group 
exercising the option to terminate. 

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index 
or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which 
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the 
Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease. After 
the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is 
increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced 
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying 
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a 
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the 
lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting 
from a change in an index or rate used to determine such 
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an 
option to purchase the underlying asset. The Group’s lease 
liabilities are included in Borrowings (Note 20).

Leases for investment property which apply the fair value 
model are classified as investment property per AASB 140 
Investment Properties.

Prior year leases policy
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 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.

(j)  Plant and equipment
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 value of the plant and equipment as a 
replacement, if the recognition criteria are satisfied.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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 9 Financial Instruments are 
classified as; fair value through profit or loss; fair value 
through other comprehensive income; or amortised 
cost. 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. 

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 instruments; discounted cash flow 
analysis; option pricing models; making use of available and 
supportable market data and keeping judgemental inputs 
to a minimum.

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 
value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is 
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying 
value 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 
original invoice amount, and subsequently adjusted for 
ECL. An allowance is recognised by analysing the age 
of outstanding balances and applying historical default 
percentages. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect 
current and forward-looking observable data affecting the 
ability of customers to settle their debts.

Inventories

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

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 lifestyle 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.

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

Investment property includes property under construction, 
tourism cabins and associated amenities.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, 
including transaction costs. 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.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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.

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 value 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)  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 Note 1(cc) and Note 29(k) for information 
regarding the valuation of resident loans.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(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 
value of the borrowing, and amortised over its expected 
life.

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

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

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

(x)  Revenue
Revenue from rent, management fees, 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 investment properties is recognised 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Fixed rental 
increases that do not represent direct compensation for 
underlying cost increases or capital expenditures are 
recognised on a straight-line basis until the next market 
review date. Rent paid in advance is recognised as 
unearned income.

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

Revenue from the sale of lifestyle homes is recognised 
at the point in time when control of the lifestyle home is 
transferred to the customer, on settlement of the home.

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 at the point in time when control of the 
assets is transferred to the customer.

(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. 
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.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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.

ICF has entered 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 value 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.

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

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

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

(bb) Investment in a joint venture
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby 
the parties that have joint control of the arrangement 
have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint 
control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an 
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the 
relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the 
parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining significant 
influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to 
determine control over subsidiaries.

The Group’s investment in its joint venture with Sun 
Communities is accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture 
is initially recognised at cost. The carrying value of the 
investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s 
share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition 
date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in 
the carrying value of the investment and is not tested for 
impairment separately.

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of 
the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change 
in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of those investees 
is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when 
there has been a change recognised directly in the equity 
of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any 
changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes 
in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from 
transactions between the Group and the joint venture are 
eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of 
a joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of 
profit or loss outside operating profit and represents 
profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the 
subsidiaries of the joint venture.

The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared 
for the same reporting period as the Group. When 
necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting 
policies in line with those of the Group. 

After application of the equity method, the Group 
determines whether it is necessary to recognise an 
impairment loss on its investment in its joint venture. 
At each reporting date, the Group determines whether 
there is objective evidence that the investment in the joint 
venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group 
calculates the amount of impairment as the difference 
between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and 
its carrying value, and then recognises the loss within the 
statement of comprehensive income.

Upon loss of joint control, the Group measures and 
recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any 
difference between the carrying value of the joint venture 
upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the 
fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from 
disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(cc)  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 29. 

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 major assumptions used in the valuations. 

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has 
determined classes of assets and liabilities based on nature, 
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability, and the 
level of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 29).

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

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

(ee) Pending accounting standards
In the current period, the Group has adopted all the 
new and revised accounting standards, amendments to 
accounting standards, and interpretations that are relevant 
to its operations and effective for the current annual 
reporting period.

(ff)  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.

(gg) Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is 
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and 
all attached conditions will be complied with. When the 
grant relates to an expense, it is recognised net of the 
related expense for which it is intended to compensate. 
There are no unfilled conditions or other contingencies 
attached to the grants.

ii.  Valuation of inventories
The Group has inventory in the form of lifestyle 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 resident loans
The fair value of the 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 fees 
(“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 
the departure 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.

(a)  Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
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 value 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

i. 

 Valuation of investment property, other financial 
assets and other financial liabilities

The Group has investment properties and assets held for 
sale which together represent the estimated fair value of 
the Group’s investment property. Other financial assets 
represent the Groups investment in a number of unlisted 
property funds. Other financial liabilities relate to a profit 
share arrangement with a third-party which is carried at 
fair value.

The carrying value of these assets 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. Refer to Note 11 for the impact of COVID-19 
on valuation assumptions. 

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.

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

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

Upon entering into the ICMT tax consolidated group, the tax cost bases for certain assets were reset resulting in income tax 
benefits being recorded.

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

associated ground lease. The value of the capitalised lease carried within investment property is $11,515,000 (30 June 2019: $11,850,000).

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

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)). 13 Lifestyles 
villages and 2 Ingenia Garden villages were externally valued across May and June 2020.

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.

Investment properties (continued)

Capitalisation method
Under the capitalisation method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the expectation of future benefits. 
The capitalisation method involves estimating the expected income projections of the property 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.

COVID-19 Valuation impact
In response to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, a COVID-19 net profit shortfall adjustment has also 
been incorporated for some assets in line with external valuation methodology. In assessing the fair value of investment 
properties, the Group has considered the following:

Segment 

COVID-19 Considerations 

Ingenia Gardens

 –

Limited increase in operational costs.

Ingenia Lifestyle and Rentals

 –

Limited increase in operational costs.

 – Recent occupancy rates are at historical highs, indicating strong segment resilience. 

 – Strong debtor collection with no increase in defaults.

 – Strong debtor collection with no increase in defaults. 

 – Continued market transactions in comparable lifestyle assets supporting capitalisation 

rates.

Ingenia Holidays

 –

Limited increase in operational costs.

 – Strong forward bookings for majority of assets. 

 –

Impact of travel restrictions on revenue.

Lifestyle Development

 – Short term slow down in the residential housing market and the impact on 

settlements.

 –

Limited impact on development progress. 

Given the constantly changing nature of the situation, the fair value at reporting date involves uncertainties around the 
underlying assumptions. The external valuations undertaken during the period, contained material valuation uncertainty 
clauses given the impacts of COVID-19 and reduced levels of transactional evidence during the period. The valuation can be 
relied upon at the date of valuation however, a higher level of valuation uncertainty than normal is assumed. In the event that 
COVID-19 impacts are more severe or prolonged than anticipated, this may have a further adverse impact on the fair value 
of Ingenia’s investment properties.

 Business combinations

Acquisition of Eighth Gate Capital Management Pty Limited
On 22 August 2019, the Group acquired the share capital of EGCM, a funds and asset management business which manages 
six funds, that invest in lifestyle and holiday communities situated in NSW, QLD and VIC. The Group receives fees for the 
management and development of the assets and management of the funds. 

From the date of acquisition, EGCM contributed $1,832,000 of revenue and $606,000 of to profit before tax from continuing 
operations of the Group. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of FY20, the Group’s revenue would have been 
$2,200,000 and the profit before tax would have been $730,000.

The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of EGCM as at the date of acquisition were:

17. 
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. 

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. 
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, calculated as the 
higher of fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. 

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which goodwill is monitored for 
management purposes and allocated to cash generating units (CGU). The assumptions used for determining the recoverable 
amount of the CGU are based on the expectation for the future, utilising both internal and external sources of data and 
relevant market trends.

Discounted cash flow method
This method involves the projection of a series of cash flows of the funds management business. To this projected cash flow 
series, a pre-tax market-derived discount rate of 19% and a terminal growth rate of 2% was applied to establish the present 
value of the income streams associated with the CGU. The discounted cash flow was then tested against appropriate 
business EBIT multiples and a sensitivity analysis was conducted.

The availability of carried forward tax losses of $5.6 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.

25.  Commitments
There were commitments for capital expenditure on investment properties and inventories contracted but not provided for 
at reporting date of $28,407,358 (30 Jun 2019: $38,374,980).

During the period, a lease for office space was signed with a commencement date in FY21. The expected minimum lease 
payments over the term of the lease are $5,000,000.

26.  Contingent liabilities
The Group has the following contingent liabilities:

 – Bank guarantees totalling $14.3 million provided for under the $450.0 million bank facility. Bank guarantees primarily relate 

to the Responsible Entity’s AFSL capital requirements ($10.0 million).

27.  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 FY20 Rights Plan, 33.3% of the maximum STI for the CEO and 50.0% 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 $527,017 (30 Jun 2019: $452,487) 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 2020.

(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 FY20 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 average underlying Earnings Per Security growth (Underlying EPS). 

TSR is benchmarked against the ASX 200 A-REIT Index, whilst ROE and Underlying EPS is benchmarked against internal 
targets. The number of LTIP rights that will vest depends on the TSR, ROE and Underlying EPS achieved and is also 
conditional on the eligible employee being employed by the Group at the relevant vesting date.

28.  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 $450.0 million common terms debt facilities. LVR is calculated as the sum of bank debt, bank guarantees, ground 
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 2020, the LVR of 8.4% (30 June 2019: 29.8%) is below target 
due to the completion of the equity raising in June 2020.

In addition, the Group monitors Interest Cover Ratio as defined under the common terms of the debt facilities. 
At 30 June 2020, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 8.35x (30 Jun 2019: 6.38x) and the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 
6.15x (30 Jun 2019: 3.09x).

29.  Financial instruments

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

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Group manages its exposure to these risks primarily through its 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.

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

The Group manages the risk of changes in market interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate 
borrowings. Fixed rate debt is achieved either through fixed rate debt funding or through derivative financial instruments 
permitted under the Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing policy. At 30 June 2020, the Group had no derivative financial 
instruments or fixed debt in place (30 Jun 2019: 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.

(d)  Interest rate sensitivity analysis
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).

(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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

29.  Financial instruments (continued)
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 
value as reported in the balance sheet.

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

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

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

 –

 –

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

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

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

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

(j)  Other Financial Instrument Risk
The Group carries 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 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.

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 balance sheet as at 30 June 
2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity 
and consolidated cash flow statement 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 2020
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 Company 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 
(including Independence Standards) (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.

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2020 | continued

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 87% of the Group’s total assets 
comprise investment properties (both those disclosed 
as investment properties and equity accounted 
investments). These assets are carried at fair value, 
which is assessed by the directors with reference to 
either external independent valuations or internal 
valuations and is based on market conditions existing 
at reporting date.  

This is considered a key audit matter as valuations 
contain several 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, a 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.

The valuation of investment properties is 
inherently subjective given that there are 
alternative assumptions and valuation methods 
that may result in a range of values. The impact 
of COVID-19 at 30 June 2020 has resulted in a 
wider range of possible values than at past 
valuation points. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

• We reviewed the controls in place
relevant to the valuation process;

• We evaluated the suitability of the

valuation methodology used across the
portfolio and tested the valuation
reports for mathematical accuracy on a
sample basis;

• We assessed the qualification,

competence and objectivity of the
independent valuation experts used by
the Group;

• We assessed the Group’s internal

valuation methodology and tested the
mathematical accuracy of the valuation
models. We also assessed the
competence, qualifications and
objectivity of the internal valuer;

• On a sample basis, we compared the

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

•

•

The key judgements for the longer term and
short-term rental include capitalisation rates,
discount 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.

Specific assumptions and judgements of the
impact of COVID-19 are contained within Note
11 to the financial report. These include impact
on property sale settlements, revenue and
operational costs.

As at 30 June 2020 there is increased valuation 
uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and 
the response of Governments to it. This means that 
the property values may change significantly and 
unexpectedly over a relatively short period of time. 

Given the market conditions at balance date, the 
independent valuers have reported on the basis of 
the existence of “material valuation uncertainty”, 
noting that less certainty and a higher degree of 
caution should be attached to the valuations than 
would normally be the case. In this situation the 
disclosures in the financial report provide particularly 
important information about the assumptions made 
in the property valuations and the market conditions 
at 30 June 2020. 

• On a sample basis, 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
independent valuations to determine
whether the key judgements and
methodology used were appropriate,
including the impact of COVID-19;

• We assessed the appropriateness of the

allocation of capital expenditure
between investment property and
inventory assets;

• We have also considered the ‘material
valuation uncertainty’ disclosure
included in the valuation reports and any
other restrictions imposed on the
valuation process (if any) and the market
conditions at balance date.

• On a sample basis, we have considered

the specific assumptions and judgements
used by the Group in the valuations
following the impact of COVID-19. We
have validated the additional disclosure
describing the specific judgements used
by the Group in relation to the pandemic
included in Note 11 of the financial
report; and

• We have considered whether there have
been any indicators of material changes
in property valuations from 30 June
2020 up to the date of our opinion. We
involved our real estate valuation
specialists to assist us in making this
assessment. Any material matters
identified have been reflected in the fair
values of investment properties at the
reporting date, where appropriate, or
disclosed as a subsequent event in Note
36.

included in the Group’s 2020 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, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and 
our related assurance opinion. 

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 
judgement 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.

Operating and Financial Review

ICF and ICMT Overview
ICF and ICMT are two of the entities forming part of ICH, 
which is a triple staple structure traded on the ASX. 

The Group is an active owner, manager and developer of 
a diversified portfolio of lifestyle, seniors rental and holiday 
communities across Australia. The Group’s real estate 
assets at 30 June 2020 were valued at $944.0 million, 
comprising 35 lifestyle and holiday communities (Ingenia 
Lifestyle and Holidays) and 26 rental communities (Ingenia 
Gardens). The Group manages a further 11 communities 
through its development JV and funds management 
platform. The Group was included in the S&P/ASX 200 
in December 2019 and had a market capitalisation of 
approximately $1.5 billion at 30 June 2020.

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

Our Values
At Ingenia we build community on 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 an amazing experience every day. 
Whether it’s time to live, play, stay or renew, we deliver 
freedom of choice with a range of industry award winning 
lifestyle and holiday options.

Creating Australia’s best lifestyle communities

For the year ended 30 June 2020 | continued 

Strategy
The Group is positioning for scale and long-term sector 
leadership whilst delivering growth in net operating 
income and enhancing the operational performance of its 
investment properties. 

Using a disciplined investment framework, the Group will: 
continue to grow its lifestyle and holiday communities 
business in metropolitan and coastal locations; build out 
its existing development pipeline; expand development 
and revenue streams through the Joint Venture with Sun 
Communities, Inc (NYSE: SUI) and funds management 
platform; deploy equity raised through the May equity 
raising to acquire existing communities and additional 
development sites; and, recycle capital through non-core 
asset sales.

The immediate business priorities of the Group are:

 – Capitalise on opportunities to expand the development 

pipeline to deliver new rental contracts;

 –

Improve performance of existing assets to drive growth 
in rental returns;

 –

Improve resident and guest satisfaction;

 – Focus on sales and marketing effectiveness to 

successfully launch new projects and grow rental base;

 – Continue rollout of new rental and tourism cabins;

 – Expand the funds management platform and deliver 

performance for investors; 

 – Execute the development joint venture business plan, 
delivering opportunities for capital light growth and 
additional revenue streams;

 – Enhance sustainable competitive advantage through 
recruiting, retaining and developing industry leading 
talent;

 – Continue to respond to operating environment, maintain 
focus on employee, resident and guest health and safety;

 – Continue to advance focus on sustainable home design 

and construction; and

 – Build on the Group’s sustainability program and enhance 

disclosures as initiatives are progressed.

FY20 Financial Results
The year to 30 June 2020 delivered total revenue of 
$244.2 million, up 7% on the prior year. The Group built and 
sold 3251 turnkey homes (30 Jun 2019: 336 homes) and 
grew Lifestyle and Holidays rental income from permanent, 
annual and tourism clients to $72.5 million (30 Jun 2019: 
$67.7 million).

Statutory profit of $31.5 million was up 7% on the prior year. 
The statutory result reflects the combination of growth 
in underlying earnings and fair value movements on 
investment property arising from: improved capitalisation 
rates, offset by transaction costs on new acquisitions and; 
a reduction of fair value associated with the realisation of 
development profits on settlement.

Underlying profit from continuing operations was 
$59.1 million, which represents an increase of $11.9 million 
(25%) on the prior year. The underlying result is 
underpinned by a significantly higher EBIT contribution 
from the Lifestyle Development segment which was up 
19% on prior corresponding period, and from the Ingenia 
Lifestyle and Holidays segment which was up 9% on the 

79

prior corresponding period. Ingenia Gardens EBIT was 
$10.2 million, up 2% from the prior corresponding period. 
The Lifestyle Development and Holidays segments were 
impacted by COVID-19 and the early 2020 bushfires, which 
had an adverse effect on the 2020 financial results. 

Operating cash flow for the period was $67.2 million, up 
13% from the prior year, reflecting growth in lifestyle home 
profits, growth in recurring rental income and the impact of 
new operational parks acquired in the period.

During the year, the Group successfully raised 
$328.3 million through the following:

 – November 19: $131.1 million accelerated non-renounceable 
entitlement offer (ANREO) to existing security holders 
and a placement to institutional investors;

 – May 20: $150.0 million placement to institutional 

investors;

 –

June 20: $27.9 million via a share purchase plan (SPP) to 
existing security holders; and

 – $19.3 million under the Distribution Reinvestment Plan. 

The proceeds from these equity raises have been and will 
continue to be invested into acquisitions to expand the 
Group’s portfolio of lifestyle communities and to provide 
additional equity for the Group’s joint venture with Sun 
Communities. 

The Group grew its investment in lifestyle communities 
during the period, 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. The Group invested 
part of the equity raised to acquire Bevington Shores, 
Taigum (Colonial Village) and land adjacent to Ingenia 
Holidays Rivershore.

The Group continued to divest non-core assets to support 
the Group’s capital recycling strategy, with the divestment 
of Ingenia Lifestyle Mudgee Valley in 1H20.

COVID-19 had an adverse impact on the FY20 result. The 
Group’s holidays business was materially impacted with 
the mandated closure of tourist parks from late March until 
June 2020 and the closure of domestic and international 
borders. Home settlement figures were also negatively 
impacted by social distancing restrictions which prevented 
auctions and the viewing of open homes as well as 
consumer sentiment. 

In response to COVID-19, Ingenia took decisive action, 
immediately reducing variable costs, standing down a 
number of casual staff and implementing companywide 
cost saving initiatives, including a voluntary 20% temporary 
pay reduction for salaried staff and NEDs. The Group was 
subsequently eligible to receive the JobKeeper subsidy, 
allowing the Group to re-employ eligible employees and 
limit further staff reductions.

Key Metrics
 – Net profit for the year for ICF $20.4 million  

(30 Jun 2019: $25.7 million profit).

 – Net loss for the year for ICMT of $7.0 million  

(30 Jun 2019: $6.0 million loss).

 – Full year distributions of 10.0 cents per unit by ICF, 

nil from ICMT.

Development Joint Venture
The development Joint Venture with Sun Communities was established in November 2018. 

The Joint Venture commenced development on its first greenfield acquisition located at Burpengary, QLD and settled on 
its first homes during the year. The Joint Venture is in the final stages of development planning on its second acquisition at 
Fullerton Cove, NSW and has other acquisition opportunities under exclusive due diligence or option.

During FY20, fees generated by Ingenia from the Joint Venture primarily relate to asset and development management.

Strategic Priorities
The Joint Venture’s objective is to acquire greenfield sites in key metro and coastal markets to develop a significant portfolio 
of new lifestyle communities. The Joint Venture leverages the expertise and local market knowledge of Ingenia to identify, 
acquire and develop sites. Once homes are sold, Ingenia will also provide operational services to the lifestyle communities. At 
completion of development, Ingenia has the right to acquire the communities at market value. Ingenia generates origination, 
development and management fees for these services plus a performance fee for above hurdle rate returns.

Capital Management
During the year, the Group raised $328.3 million in new equity through the issue of 89.2 million new securities in FY20. The 
Group has three debt facilities with a combined facility limit of $450.0 million. The weighted average term to maturity of 
Ingenia’s debt at 30 June 2020 is 3.3 years with the first debt expiry in February 2022. As at 30 June 2020, the debt facilities 
were drawn to $73.0 million. 

The Group’s Loan to Value Ratio (“LVR”) was 8.4% and gearing was 5.7% at 30 June 2020, which are below FY19 due to the 
completion of the equity raise in June 2020. The funds raised are anticipated to be deployed across FY21 and FY22. 

The Group intends to fund near term growth through deployment of the equity raise proceeds into new acquisitions, 
operating cash flows, divestment of non-core assets and drawing on committed debt facilities. 

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

 – On 18 February 2020, the Directors declared an interim distribution of 5.6 cps, amounting to $15.2 million which was paid 

on 26 March 2020. 

 – On 18 August 2020, the Directors declared a final distribution of 4.4 cps amounting to $14.3 million, to be paid on 

24 September 2020.

FY21 Outlook
The Group’s strong balance sheet and low level of gearing places Ingenia in a strong position to manage the risks associated 
with COVID-19. Ingenia expects to be a major beneficiary from the rebound in domestic tourism as international borders 
remain closed and is well positioned to meet the anticipated increase in demand for affordable housing from downsizers. 

The Group will continue to grow its lifestyle communities business in FY21 with a significant development pipeline, an innovative 
and adaptable sales approach, increasing consumer awareness and demand and a broader range of capital partnerships. The 
Group will acquire mature lifestyle and holiday communities where on strategy opportunities can be identified.

The priority for existing lifestyle and holiday communities is to improve performance of existing assets by delivering 
rental growth and investing in new rental homes and tourism cabins within existing communities. The creation of new rent 
contracts via existing and new development projects will contribute development profits and growth in the rental base.

The Joint Venture with Sun Communities and the funds management business provide additional opportunities for growth, 
whilst diversifying the Group’s revenue streams. 

Management continues to explore expansion, development and acquisition opportunities within the seniors rental market as 
Ingenia Gardens continues to provide high-yield stable recurring cash flows.

The Group will continue to regularly assess market opportunities and the performance of existing assets, divesting and 
acquiring assets where superior longer-term returns are available.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited Annual Report 2020Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2020

89

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 2020 was authorised for issue by the Directors 
on 18 August 2020.

(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, 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 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, residents’ 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

The Trusts has adopted, for the first time, AASB 16 Leases 
for reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2019. The 
standard sets out the principles for the recognition, 
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and 
requires lessees to account for most leases under a single 
on-balance sheet model.

Upon adoption of AASB 16, the Trusts have recognised 
lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use 
assets representing the right to use the underlying assets, 
using the modified retrospective method. Under this 
method, the standard is applied retrospectively with 
the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard 
recognised at the date of initial application. Consequently, 
as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in 
the standard, the Trusts have not restated prior period 
comparatives.

The Trusts also elected to use the recognition exemptions 
for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have 
a short-term lease of 12 months or less and do not contain 
a purchase option, and lease contracts for which the 
underlying asset is of low-value.

The Trusts assess at contract inception whether a contract 
is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the 
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period 
of time in exchange for consideration.

The Trusts apply a single recognition and measurement 
approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and 
leases of low-value assets which are recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The 
Trusts recognise lease liabilities to make lease payments 
and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the 
underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets
The Trusts recognise right-of-use assets at the 
commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are 
measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement 
of lease liabilities. 

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of 
lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and 
lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date less any lease incentives received. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.

Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Trusts 
recognise lease liabilities measured at the present value 
of lease payments to be made over the lease term. 

The lease payments include fixed less any lease incentives 
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an 
index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under 
residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include 
the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain 
to be exercised by the Trusts and payments of penalties for 
terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Trusts 
exercising the option to terminate.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2020 | continued

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index 
or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which 
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the 
Trusts use the interest rate implicit in the lease. After 
the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities 
is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and 
reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the 
carrying value of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a 
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the 
lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting 
from a change in an index or rate used to determine such 
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an 
option to purchase the underlying asset. The Trusts’ lease 
liabilities are included in Borrowings (refer to Note 17).

Leases for investment property which apply the fair 
value model are classified as investment property per 
AASB 140 Investment Properties.

The Trusts have adopted for the first time AASB 
Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatment 
for reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2020. It does not 
apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of AASB 112, nor 
does it specifically include requirements relating to interest 
and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. 

The Trusts apply significant judgement in identifying 
uncertainties over income tax treatments. Since the Trusts 
operates in a complex environment, the Trusts have 
assessed whether the Interpretation had an impact on its 
consolidated financial statements and determined that the 
Interpretation did not have an impact.

(d)  Principles of consolidation
ICF’s consolidated financial statements comprise ICF 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. 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. 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 the amount 
recognised for non-controlling interest over the fair value 
of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more 
frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that 
it might impaired. An impairment loss is recognised 
when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its 
recoverable amount, calculated as the higher of fair value 
less costs of disposal and the value in use. Impairment 
losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of 
Comprehensive Income.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are 
grouped at the lowest levels for which goodwill is 
monitored for management purposes and allocated to 
cash generating units (“CGU”). The assumptions used for 
determining the recoverable amount of the CGU are based 
on the expectation for the future, utilising both internal and 
external sources of data and relevant market trends.

(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 value 
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 in 
Note 8.

(g)  Dividends and 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.

(i)  Leases
The Trusts assesses at contract inception whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract 
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset 
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Trusts applies a single recognition and measurement 
approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and 
leases of low-value assets which are recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The 
Trusts recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments 
and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the 
underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets
The Trusts recognises right-of-use assets at the 
commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are 
measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement 
of lease liabilities. 

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of 
lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and 
lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date less any lease incentives received. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.

Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Trusts 
recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value 
of lease payments to be made over the lease term. 

The lease payments include fixed less any lease incentives 
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an 
index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under 
residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include 
the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain 
to be exercised by the Trusts and payments of penalties for 
terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Trusts 
exercising the option to terminate. 

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index 
or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which 
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the 
Trusts uses the interest rate implicit in the lease. After the 
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is 
increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced 
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying 
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a 
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the 
lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting 
from a change in an index or rate used to determine such 
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an 
option to purchase the underlying asset. The Trusts’ lease 
liabilities are included in Borrowings (Note 17).

Leases for investment property which apply the fair value 
model are classified as investment property per AASB 140 
Investment Properties.

Prior year leases policy
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 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.

(j)  Plant and equipment
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 Trusts 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 value 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.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(k)  Financial assets and liabilities
Current and non-current financial assets and liabilities 
within the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments are 
classified as; fair value through profit or loss; fair value 
through other comprehensive income; or amortised 
cost. The Trusts determine 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.

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 instruments; discounted cash flow 
analysis; option pricing models; making use of available and 
supportable market data and keeping judgemental inputs 
to a minimum.

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 
value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is 
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying 
value 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 
original invoice amount, and subsequently adjusted for 
ECL. An allowance is recognised by analysing the age 
of outstanding balances and applying historical default 
percentages. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect 
current and forward-looking observable data affecting the 
ability of customers to settle their debts.

Inventories

(o) 
The Trusts hold inventory in relation to the acquisition and 
development of lifestyle homes, as well as and service 
station fuel and supplies. 

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 lifestyle 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.

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

Investment property includes property under construction, 
tourism cabins and associated amenities.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, 
including transaction costs. 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 Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Trusts 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.

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 value 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 which 
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)  Provisions, including for employee 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.

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.

(u)   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 Trusts 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(bb) information regarding the valuation 
of resident loans.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

 Borrowings 

(v) 
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 value 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.

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

(x)  Revenue
Revenue from rent, management fees, interest and 
distributions is recognised to the extent it is probable that 
the economic benefits will flow to the Trusts, 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 investment properties is recognised 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Fixed rental 
increases that do not represent direct compensation for 
underlying cost increases or capital expenditures are 
recognised on a straight-line basis until the next market 
review date. Rent paid in advance is recognised as 
unearned income.

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

Revenue from the sale of lifestyle homes is recognised 
at the point in time when control of the lifestyle home is 
transferred to the customer, on settlement of the home.

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 at the point in time when control of 
the assets is transferred to the customer.

(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 security holders each year. 
Tax allowances for building and fixtures depreciation 
are distributed to security 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, security holders 
may be entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for this 
withholding tax.

ICF has entered 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 value 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.

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.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

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

(z)  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) Investment in a joint venture
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby 
the parties that have joint control of the arrangement 
have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint 
control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an 
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the 
relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the 
parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining significant 
influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to 
determine control over subsidiaries.

The Trusts’ investment in its joint venture with Sun 
Communities is accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture 
is initially recognised at cost. The carrying value of the 
investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Trusts’ 
share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition 
date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in 
the carrying value of the investment and is not tested for 
impairment separately.

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Trusts’ share of 
the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change 
in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of those investees 
is presented as part of the Trusts’ OCI. In addition, when 
there has been a change recognised directly in the equity 
of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any 
changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes 
in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from 
transactions between the Group and the joint venture are 
eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.

The aggregate of the Trusts’ share of profit or loss of a joint 
venture is shown on the face of the statement of profit or 
loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss 
after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of 
the joint venture.

The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared 
for the same reporting period as the Trusts. When 
necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting 
policies in line with those of the Trusts.

After application of the equity method, the Trusts 
determine whether it is necessary to recognise an 
impairment loss on its investment in its joint venture. At 
each reporting date, the Trusts determines whether there is 
objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture 
is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates 
the amount of impairment as the difference between the 
recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying 
value, and then recognises the loss within the statement of 
comprehensive income.

Upon loss of joint control, the Trusts measure and 
recognise any retained investment at its fair value. Any 
difference between the carrying value of the joint venture 
upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the 
fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from 
disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

(bb) 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 25. 

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.

(dd) Pending accounting standards
In the current period, the Trusts have adopted all the 
new and revised accounting standards, amendments to 
accounting standards, and interpretations that are relevant 
to its operations and effective for the current annual 
reporting period.

(ee) 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.

(ff)  Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is 
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and 
all attached conditions will be complied with. When the 
grant relates to an expense, it is recognised net of the 
related expense for which it is intended to compensate. 
There are no unfilled conditions or other contingencies 
attached to the grants.

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 25).

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

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

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 resident loans
The fair value of the 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 fees 
(“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 the departure 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 
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 value 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

i. 

 Valuation of investment property, other financial 
assets and other financial liabilities

The Trusts have investment properties and assets held 
for sale which together represent the estimated fair value 
of investment property. Other financial assets represent 
ICMT’s investment in a number of unlisted property 
funds. Other financial liabilities relates to a profit share 
arrangement between ICMT and a third-party which is 
carried at fair value.

These carrying value 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. Refer to Note 9 
for the impact of COVID-19 on valuation assumptions.

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 lifestyle 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.

3.  Segment information

(a)  Description of Segments
The Trusts invest predominantly in rental properties located in Australia with five reportable segments:

 –

 –

 –

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

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

Ingenia Gardens – rental villages; 

 – Fuel, Food & Beverage Services – consists of the Trusts’ investment in service station operations and food & beverage 

activities attached to Ingenia Lifestyle and Holiday communities;

 – Corporate & Other – comprises the Trusts’ remaining assets and operating activities including, development joint venture 

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 
included in Corporate & Other.

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.

(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.

COVID-19 Valuation impact
In response to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, a COVID-19 net profit shortfall adjustment has also 
been incorporated for some assets in line with external valuation methodology. In assessing the fair value of investment 
properties, the Trusts have considered the following:

Segment 

Ingenia Gardens

COVID-19 Considerations 

 –

 –

Limited increase in operational costs.

 Recent occupancy rates are at historical highs, indicating strong segment 
resilience. 

 – Strong debtor collection with no increase in defaults.

Ingenia Lifestyle and Rentals

 –

Limited increase in operational costs.

 – Strong debtor collection with no increase in defaults. 

 – Continued market transactions in comparable lifestyle assets supporting 

capitalisation rates.

Ingenia Holidays

 –

Limited increase in operational costs.

 – Strong forward bookings for majority of assets. 

 –

Impact of travel restrictions on revenue.

Lifestyle Development

 – Short term slow down in the residential housing market and the impact on 

settlements.

 –

Limited impact on development progress.

9. 
Given the constantly changing nature of the situation, the fair value at reporting date involves uncertainties around the 
underlying assumptions. The external valuations undertaken during the period, contained material valuation uncertainty 
clauses given the impacts of COVID-19 and reduced levels of transactional evidence during the period. The valuation can be 
relied upon at the date of valuation however, a higher level of valuation uncertainty than normal is assumed. In the event that 
COVID- 19 impacts are more severe or prolonged than anticipated, this may have a further adverse impact on the fair value 
of Ingenia’s investment properties.

The availability of carried forward tax losses of $5.6 million to the ICMT tax consolidated group is subject to recoupment 
rules at the time of recoupment. Further, the rate at which these losses can be utilised is determined by reference to market 
values at the time of tax consolidation and subsequent events. Accordingly, a portion of these carried forward tax losses 
may not be available in the future.

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

Minimum lease payments – perpetual lease
The perpetual lease is recognised as investment property and non-current liability at a value of $1.1 million based on a 
capitalisation rate applicable at the time of acquisition of 10.6% applied to the current lease payment. As this is a perpetual 
lease, the lease liability will not amortise and no fair value adjustments in relation to the lease will be recognised unless 
circumstances of the lease change.

21.  Commitments 
ICMT has commitments for capital expenditure on investment properties and inventories contracted but not provided for at 
reporting date of $10,072.103 (30 Jun 2019: $11,938,070).

22.  Contingent liabilities
The Trusts have the following contingent liabilities:

 – Bank guarantees totalling $14.3 million provided for under the $450.0 million bank facility. Bank guarantees primarily relate 

to the Responsible Entity’s AFSL capital requirements ($10.0 million).

23.  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 the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) which is a key covenant under the 
Group’s $450.0 million common terms debt facilities. LVR is calculated as the sum of bank debt, bank guarantees, ground 
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 2020, the LVR of 8.4% (30 June 2019: 29.8%) is below target 
due to the completion of the equity raising in June 2020.

In addition, the Group monitors Interest Cover Ratio as defined under the common terms of the debt facilities. 
At 30 June 2020, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 8.35x (30 Jun 2019: 6.38x) and the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 6.15x 
(30 Jun 2019: 3.09x).

24.  Financial instruments

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

The main risks arising from the Trusts’ financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk. The Trusts manage the exposure to these risks primarily through the 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.

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

The Trusts manage the risk of changes in market interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate 
borrowings. Fixed rate debt is achieved either through fixed rate debt funding or through derivative financial instruments 
permitted under the Investments, Derivatives, and Borrowing Policy. At 30 June 2020, the Trusts’ had no derivative financial 
instruments or fixed debt in place (30 Jun 2019: 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.

(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 Trusts’ maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial instrument is the carrying 
value as reported in the balance sheet.

24.  Financial instruments (continued) 

(i)  Liquidity risk
The main objective of liquidity risk management is to reduce the risk that the Trusts do not have the resources available 
to meet their financial obligations and working capital and committed capital expenditure requirements. The Trusts’ 
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, 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 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 residents’ loans in existence at reporting date.

(e)  Other related party transactions
ICF has leased its investment property to ICMT. Rental villages have been classified as operating leases and the DMF village 
has been classified as a ground lease. 

Intercompany loans are subject to a loan deed, amended on and effective from 1 July 2015, encompassing ICH, ICF and 
ICMT and their respective subsidiaries. The revised deed stipulates that interest is calculated on the intercompany balances 
between ICH, ICF and ICMT for the preceding month. Interest is charged at a margin of 3.95% on the monthly Australian 
Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate. Intercompany loan balances are payable in the event of default or on termination date, being 
30 June 2025 (or such other date as agreed by the parties in writing).

ICMT has entered into development agreements with subsidiaries of ICH to develop land into lifestyle communities. These 
agreements are on arms-length terms and eliminate on consolidation in the Group results. Pursuant to the terms of the 
agreements, subsidiaries of ICH received a development fee of $4,470,000 (30 June 2019: $1,520,000).

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 balance sheet as at 30 June 2020, the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
consolidated cash flow statement 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 2020
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 Company 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 
(including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in 
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

Key Audit Matters 

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

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2020 | continued

127

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 27% of the Group’s total assets 
comprise investment properties (both those 
disclosed as investment properties and equity 
accounted investments). These assets are 
carried at fair value, which is assessed by the 
directors with reference to either external 
independent valuations or internal valuations 
and is based on market conditions existing at 
reporting date.  

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

The investment properties, as disclosed in Note 
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. 

As at 30 June 2020 there is increased valuation 
uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic 
and the response of Governments to this. This 
means that the property values may change 
significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively 
short period of time. 

The valuation of investment properties is inherently 
subjective given that there are alternative 
assumptions and valuation methods that may result 
in a range of values. The impact of COVID-19 at 30 
June 2020 has resulted in a wider range of possible 
values than at past valuation points. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

• We reviewed the controls in place relevant to

the valuation process;

• We evaluated the suitability of the valuation

methodology used across the portfolio and
tested the valuation reports for
mathematical accuracy on a sample basis;

• We assessed the qualification, competence

and objectivity of the independent valuation
experts used by the Group;

• We assessed the Group’s internal valuation
methodology and tested the mathematical
accuracy of the valuation models. We also
assessed the competence, qualifications and
objectivity of the internal valuer;

• On a sample basis, we compared the

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

• On a sample basis, we considered the key

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

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2020 | continued

Given the market conditions at balance date, the 
independent valuers have reported on the basis 
of the existence of “material valuation 
uncertainty”, noting that less certainty and a 
higher degree of caution should be attached to 
the valuations than would normally be the case. 
In this situation the disclosures in the financial 
report provide particularly important information 
about the assumptions made in the property 
valuations and the market conditions at 30 June 
2020. 

• Our real estate valuation specialists reviewed

a sample of internal and independent
valuations to determine whether the key
judgements and methodology used were
appropriate, including the impact of COVID-
19;

• We assessed the appropriateness of the

allocation of capital expenditure between
investment property and inventory assets;

• We have also considered the ‘material

valuation uncertainty’ disclosure included in
the valuation reports and any other
restrictions imposed on the valuation process
(if any) and the market conditions at balance
date.

• On a sample basis, we have considered the

specific assumptions and judgements used by
the Group in the valuations following the
impact of COVID-19. We have validated the
additional disclosure describing the specific
judgements used by the Group in relation to
the pandemic included in Note 9 of the
financial report; and

• We have considered whether there have

been any indicators of material changes in
property valuations from 30 June 2020 up
to the date of our opinion. We involved our
real estate valuation specialists to assist us in
making this assessment. Any material
matters identified have been reflected in the
fair values of investment properties at the
reporting date, where appropriate, or
disclosed as a subsequent event in Note 31.

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 2020 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.

129

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.

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2020 | continued

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.

131

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.

giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020
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 Company 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 
(including Independence Standards) (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 86% of the Group’s total assets 
comprise investment properties. These assets 
are carried at fair value, which is assessed by the 
directors with reference to either external 
independent valuations or internal valuations 
and is based on market conditions existing at 
reporting date.  

This is considered a key audit matter as 
valuations contain several 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 of the financial 
report.  One of these categories is considered 
material and involve significant judgement. 

•

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

The valuation of investment properties is inherently 
subjective given that there are alternative 
assumptions and valuation methods that may result 
in a range of values. The impact of COVID-19 at 30 
June 2020 has resulted in a wider range of possible 
values than at past valuation points. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

• We reviewed the controls in place relevant to

the valuation process;

• We evaluated the suitability of the valuation

methodology used across the portfolio and
tested the valuation reports for
mathematical accuracy on a sample basis;

• We assessed the qualification, competence

and objectivity of the independent valuation
experts used by the Group;

• We assessed the Group’s internal valuation
methodology and tested the mathematical
accuracy of the valuation models. We also
assessed the competence, qualifications and
objectivity of the internal valuer;

• On a sample basis, we compared the

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

• On a sample basis, we considered the key

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

•

•

The key judgements for the longer term and
short-term rental include capitalisation
rates, discount 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.

Specific assumptions and judgements of the
impact of COVID-19 are contained within
Note 9 to the financial report. These include
impact on property sale settlements,
revenue and operational costs.

As at 30 June 2020 there is increased valuation 
uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic 
and the response of Governments to this. This 
means that the property values may change 
significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively 
short period of time. 

Given the market conditions at balance date, the 
independent valuers have reported on the basis 
of the existence of “material valuation 
uncertainty”, noting that less certainty and a 
higher degree of caution should be attached to 
the valuations than would normally be the case. 
In this situation the disclosures in the financial 
report provide particularly important information 
about the assumptions made in the property 
valuations and the market conditions at 30 June 
2020. 

• Our real estate valuation specialists reviewed

a sample of internal and independent
valuations to determine whether the key
judgements and methodology used were
appropriate, including the impact of COVID-
19;

• We assessed the appropriateness of the

allocation of capital expenditure between
investment property and inventory assets;

• We have also considered the ‘material

valuation uncertainty’ disclosure included in
the valuation reports and any other
restrictions imposed on the valuation process
(if any) and the market conditions at balance
date.

• On a sample basis, we have considered the

specific assumptions and judgements used by
the Group in the valuations following the
impact of COVID-19. We have validated the
additional disclosure describing the specific
judgements used by the Group in relation to
the pandemic included in Note 9 of the
financial report; and

• We have considered whether there have

been any indicators of material changes in
property valuations from 30 June 2020 up
to the date of our opinion. We involved our
real estate valuation specialists to assist us in
making this assessment. Any material
matters identified have been reflected in the
fair values of investment properties at the
reporting date, where appropriate, or
disclosed as a subsequent event in Note 31.

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 2020 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.
