Chair’s Report
For the 2017 Financial Year
Dear fellow shareholders,
The Board is delighted with the Company’s performance during the 2017 financial year. The Company
recorded record sales, settlements, rates of customer referral, profitability and dividends. Our team,
led by James Kelly, have worked hard and delivered impressive results.
The Company provided guidance that new home settlements for the 2017 financial year were likely to
be in the range of 250 to 270. With effect from 1 July 2016, the Board put in place a new employee
incentive scheme designed around achieving this forecast. All employees are eligible for the incentive
scheme and this galvanised the team around a common goal that all employees could play a role in
achieving. The final outcome of 278 new home sales was ahead of our internal budgets and the Board’s
expectations which is a terrific outcome.
The Board regularly assesses whether we should alter our strategy. We discuss whether we should
consider expansion outside of Victoria. We get presented with opportunities to consider offering home
care or other services to our homeowners. Whilst we will always consider new opportunities, the Board
presently believes the most attractive return on capital will be delivered by concentrating on our
current strategy. There is enough complexity and challenge in our current business as we push towards
increasing new home settlements beyond 300 during the next few years.
The Board of Lifestyle Communities has been stable and collegiate which we believe has been a factor
in the strong financial performance of the Company. However, given the last addition to the Board was
in 2013, the Board has decided it is appropriate to implement some gradual renewal. As a result, the
Board has been considering future skill requirements and possible candidates. We expect to be able to
provide a further update to shareholders in the near future.
Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all our homeowners, our talented team and our
shareholders for great support during the 2017 financial year as we continue our mission to dominate
our niche of providing good quality affordable accommodation for active retirees in Victoria.
Yours sincerely
Tim Poole

Managing Director’s Report
For the 2017 Financial Year
Dear fellow shareholders,
I am pleased to present to you the Lifestyle Communities Annual Report for the year ended 30 June
2017.
The 2017 financial year has seen the addition of 278 new home settlements now providing 1,626 settled
homes within our communities providing annuity income streams. We are delighted with the
acquisition of an additional site during the year located at Armstrong Creek. Armstrong Creek is located
in Geelong’s main growth corridor and will build on our growing brand within the greater Geelong
region. Our development plan remains focused in Victoria and we continue to investigate further sites
in Melbourne’s key growth corridors. As our brand has become better known we are getting more
approaches from developers who are interested in having Lifestyle Communities as part of their
development mix.
The development focus of the business is now on Shepparton, Geelong, and Berwick Waters with
Bittern and Ocean Grove both launched for sale in March 2017. Both Bittern and Ocean Grove have
sold strongly with 74 and 24 homes sold respectively. Construction is expected to commence at both
sites in the first‐half of the 2018 financial year. Lyndarum and Officer are almost sold out. Officer was
launched for sale in March 2015 and by the end of the 2017 financial year had sold 146 homes in 28
months. Berwick Waters was launched for sale in April 2016 and has seen 136 sales across 15 months
with 105 of these occuring in the 2017 financial year.
A key focus for the organisation is to increase the number of home owner referrals for new sales and
resales. Ideally we want one in two sales to be coming from referrals; in the 2016 financial year we
achieved one in three sales. The business has been working on strategies to ensure we make every
touch point with the customer a positive one and one they will remember. Pleasingly during the 2017
financial year 38% of the 278 settled new homes came from homeowner referral. More pleasing is that
of the 406 new home sales made during the 2017 financial year, 51% of these have come from
homeowner referral.
The key highlights for the 2017 financial year include:
Achieving a record 278 new home settlements and a record of 406 new homes sales. We
commence FY2018 with 345 new homes sold but not settled;
Acquiring an additional site in Armstrong Creek, Geelong;
Achieving 98 settlements at Officer during the year and being almost sold out within two and
a half years;
Achieving 105 sales at Berwick Waters during the year and welcoming our first homeowners
in May 2017;
Achieving pre‐sales of 74 at Bittern since launching the project in early March 2017;
Increasing the total number of home sites settled under management to 1,626;
Increasing the total portfolio to 2,667 home sites either under planning, development or
management;
The expansion of Lifestyle Shepparton by 34 homes due to the continued good progress with
this project;
Page 2
For personal use only
Net profit after tax attributable to shareholders increased by $8.4 million to $27.7 million (this
includes a $2.7 million adjustment to reflect favourable changes in investment property
valuations);
Home site annuity rentals increased by $2.7 million to $13.8 million; and
Deferred management fees (inclusive of selling and administration fees) increased by $1.6
million to $4.1 million with the settlement of 73 resale homes (2016: 52).
The Company now has twelve years of increasing annuities flowing from site rentals and deferred
management fees. The rental fees increase annually by the greater of CPI or 3.5% creating a strong
inflation linked annuity flow for future dividends.
FinalIy, we are proud to report that the Lifestyle Communities Foundation donated over $67,000 in the
2017 financial year (and in excess of $124,000 since inception). The Lifestyle Communities Foundation
was established to remember one of my co‐founders, Dael Perlov, and his significant contribution to
the business. The goal of the Foundation is to annually donate $50 for every home under management
to cancer research and support by a combination of direct donation and co‐sponsoring initiatives from
within our communites. This support at a community level is well received and enables Lifestyle
Communities to contribute at a homeowner level to a whole range of initiatives and ideas to raise
money for cancer charities. We look forward to watching the donations and community involvement
grow into the future.
Yours sincerely
James Kelly

The increase in net profit after tax attributable to shareholders of $27.7 million (2016: $19.3 million)
can be mainly attributed to: increased new home settlements partly offset by lower gross margin (in
line with expectations); increased contributions from net rental income and deferred management fees
received; increased fair value adjustments from investment property revaluations; reduction in non‐
controlling interest in profit; being partly offset by increased development expenses and corporate
overheads.
Underlying profit of $25.0 million (2016: $16.9 million) excludes a $2.7 million (2016: $2.4 million) after
tax impact of investment property revaluations across the portfolio. Refer to the analysis of income
statement section on page 12 for further details.
New home settlements for the year were 278, up from 202 in the prior year, and slightly higher than
the forecast range of 250‐270 settlements. This was due to achieving the higher end of the expected
new home settlement range at Shepparton, Lyndarum, Geelong and Officer.
The Company continued to develop its communities at Shepparton, Lyndarum and Geelong. During
the year construction was completed at Officer and construction commenced at Berwick Waters.
The Company made good progress operationally with improvements in several key metrics. The total
number of homes settled increased to 1,626 homes due to 278 settlements during the year. Net
community cash flows were $10.4 million (2016: $7.5 million). This was driven by increases in rental
revenue and deferred management fees received, partly offset by increases in management expenses.
The Company had 2,418 people living in its communities as at the end of the 2017 financial year with
an average age of 72 years (2016: 72).
Resales (sales of previously settled and occupied homes) during the year were 73 (2016: 52). Deferred
management fee income received (inclusive of selling and administration fees) was $4.1 million (2016:
$2.5 million). As at the 30 June 2017 there were 17 resale homes available for sale across the
communities.

Lifestyle Brookfield in Melton, Lifestyle Seasons in Tarneit, Lifestyle Warragul, Lifestyle Casey Fields
in Cranbourne, Lifestyle Chelsea Heights and Lifestyle Hastings are fully sold and settled.
Lifestyle Shepparton performed well during the year achieving 37 net sales and 50 settlements.
Given the performance at Lifestyle Shepparton a decision was made during the year to expand the
community by a further 34 homes using surplus Company owned land. This increased the size of
the community to 301 homes of which 76% are sold and 66% are settled.
Lifestyle Lyndarum in Wollert achieved 69 sales and 68 settlements during the year and has four
homes remaining to sell. The community is now 97% sold and 74% settled.
Lifestyle Geelong performed well during the year achieving 44 sales and 50 settlements. The
community is now 75% sold and 52% settled.
Lifestyle Officer achieved 53 sales and 98 settlements for the year and has five homes remaining
to sell. The community is now 97% sold and 83% settled.
The first homeowner moved into Berwick Waters in May 2017 with 12 settlements occurring across
May and June 2017. Berwick Waters achieved 105 sales during the year with 136 homes (63%)
now sold since the project was launched in April 2016.
Lifestyle Bittern achieved 74 sales since the project was launched in early March 2017. This is
ahead of Company expectations and reflects strong demand on the Mornington Peninsula. The
land at Bittern is expected to settle in the third quarter of the 2018 financial year however
construction will commence earlier by way of a licence agreement. The Company currently
expects settlements to commence in the last quarter of the 2018 financial year however this is
subject to housing construction commencing as scheduled.
Lifestyle Ocean Grove achieved 24 sales since the project was launched in late March 2017, which
is in‐line with Company expectations. The land at Ocean Grove is expected to settle in the third
quarter of the 2018 financial year however construction is expected to commence earlier by way
of a licence agreement. The Company currently expects settlements to commence in the first
quarter of the 2019 financial year.
The land for the Lifestyle Community in Armstrong Creek was acquired in March 2017 and is
contracted to settle in September 2018 with construction planned to commence soon after. The
Company currently expects settlements to commence in the first‐half of the 2020 financial year.
The development of this community is subject to planning approval.

Revenue from home settlements increased to $79.9 million (2016: $54.9 million) due to an
increase in settlements to 278 (2016: 202). This was slightly higher than the forecast range of
250‐270 settlements and was due to achieving the higher end of the expected new home
settlement range at Shepparton, Lyndarum, Geelong and Officer.
‐ Home settlement gross margin reduced to 19.5% (2016: 21.5%). The margin achieved in the
second‐half of the 2017 financial year was slightly higher than first‐half of the 2017 financial
year which was in‐line with expectations. An increase in the average realised sales price to
$315k (GST inclusive) in the 2017 financial year (2016: $298k) was offset by an increase in the
average cost per home settled to $232k in the 2017 financial year (2016: $213k). The reduction
in margin is mainly due to a change in product mix and is expected to improve in the 2018
financial year as contributions from higher margin projects, such as Berwick Waters, increase.
The gross home margin represents home settlement revenue less a pro‐rata share of project
infrastructure, housing and capitalised finance costs expensed as each home settles.

Annuity income and expenses

‐
Revenue from homeowner rentals increased to $13.8 million (2016: $11.1 million) due to an
increase in homes under management and a rental increase of 3.5%.
Community management rental expenses increased to $6.3 million (2016: $5.3 million) due
to: an
in operations at Shepparton, Lyndarum, Geelong and Officer; and
commencement of management at Berwick Waters.
increase
‐ Deferred management fees received (inclusive of selling and administration fees) increased to
$4.1 million (2016: $2.5 million). There were 73 resale settlements during the year compared
to 52 in the prior year. The average realised sales price of resales increased to $340k (GST
inclusive) (2016: $275k). The 73 resale settlements achieved an average price growth of 7.5%
per annum from the acquisition date.
‐ Deferred management fee expenses increased to $1.2 million (2016: $0.5 million) primarily
due to an increase in sales and marketing activity.
Other expenses
‐
‐ Development expenses (new home sales and marketing) increased to $5.0 million (2016: $4.2
million) due to: increased employee costs due to the increased sales and settlement activity;
increased marketing support required to achieve sales and settlements; and launching Bittern
and Ocean Grove.
Corporate overheads increased to $5.8 million (2016: $4.9 million). The increase was mainly
due to: $0.2 million of expenses associated with the Company’s new employee incentive
scheme; and $0.4 million of head office wages growth due to additional executive resources
for medium term growth.
Finance costs increased to $1.2 million (2016: $0.8 million). This is mainly due to higher
average debt during the year. The Company capitalises a proportion of finance costs to
investment properties and inventories where appropriate and the balance of finance costs are
expensed. Capitalised finance costs are expensed in subsequent years through cost of sales.
‐
Fair value adjustments
‐
Total fair value adjustments have increased to $26.7 million (2016: $18.9 million). The
increase of $7.8 million includes a $3.8 million uplift ($2.7 million on an after‐tax basis) as a
result of investment property valuations. The key drivers were: rental capitalisation rates
reduced to 7.75% for all communities, down from between 8.0% ‐ 8.5% within prior
valuations (this had a favourable valuation impact of $5.4 million or $3.8 million on an after‐
tax basis); and the valuers have updated their view in relation to the long‐term expense
requirements of maintaining the communities and this has resulted in a downwards
adjustment of $1.6 million ($1.1 million on an after tax basis).
Fair value adjustments comprise changes to the fair value of investment properties. Changes
relating to investment properties represent incremental adjustments to their fair value upon
settlement of homes and reflects the discounted value of future rental and deferred
management fee revenues net of expenses as well as the fair value of undeveloped land. Refer
to Note 4 in the Company’s 2017 financial statements for further details.

(1) Due to the Company’s legal structure, cash flows related to operations includes all gross costs of project capital
infrastructure expenditure (i.e. civil works, clubhouse and other facilities). Under some other legal structures, project
capital expenditure may be classified within investing cash flows rather than operating cash flows.
Cash flows related to operations increased to a surplus of $17.6 million (2016: deficit of $14.2 million).
The increase is mainly attributable to a $31.3 million increase in receipts from customers. Payments to
suppliers and employees were consistent (decreasing by $0.9 million) due to increased home
construction activity (bigger product) offset by a reduction in civil and infrastructure activity (timing of
site starts). In relation to home construction 269 homes were constructed in the 2017 financial year
compared to 271 in the prior year. Construction at all locations was at optimum levels to match the
278 settlements achieved.
Cash flows related to investing activities included: $11.0 million relating to the settlement of land at
Berwick Waters; $1.0 million for the deposit paid at Armstrong Creek; and $0.8 million relating to
purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Cash flows related to financing activities included: $1.0 million net proceeds from bank borrowings; and
$3.1 million for payment of dividends.

During the year the Company’s net assets and total equity increased to $155.5 million (2016: $131.3
million) as a result of: profit during the period of $27.7 million; $0.1 million provided due to the exercise
of share options; partly offset by dividends paid of $3.1 million.
Inventories have decreased to $44.9 million (2016: $49.7 million). This reflects that home construction
and inventory levels are at optimum levels to match home settlements and civil and infrastructure
activity has reduced as projects at Lyndarum, Geelong and Officer have completed their intensive civil
and infrastructure phase.
Included within trade and other payables is a payable of $19.3 million relating to land at Bittern and
Ocean Grove with both sites due to settle in the third quarter of the 2018 financial year. The
corresponding asset is included within investment properties.
Deferred tax liabilities have increased to $35.5 million (2016: $27.3 million) representing the tax on fair
value adjustments being deferred. This liability will only be realised should an investment property be
disposed of which is highly unlikely.
The Company has surplus franking credits (after allowing for the final dividend) of $7.9 million (2016:
$6.3 million).

Outlook and risks
Outlook
The Board is pleased with the level of settlements achieved at all communities as well as the level of
sales achieved at Berwick Waters, Bittern and Ocean Grove. The Company enters the 2018 financial
year with a record level of sales waiting for settlement.
The Company has a focused strategy to dominate the niche of affordable housing to the over 50’s
market and is currently funded and resourced to roll out a new community at least every 12 months
subject to identification of appropriate sites. The Company continues to focus on Melbourne’s growth
corridors as well as key Victorian regional centres and is currently considering a range of opportunities
but will remain disciplined in its assessment of these opportunities.
The Board confirms previous guidance that settlements for the 2018 financial year are forecast to be in
the range of 260 to 290. The Board also advises that underlying net profit after tax attributable to
shareholders and total dividends are both expected to increase in the 2018 financial year compared to
the 2017 financial year.

Key risks
The Company’s key risk categories are:
Site selection – if the Company makes a poor site acquisition it may not generate adequate financial
returns on the investment and the objective of recovering 100% of the development costs may not be
met. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk by maintaining a detailed land acquisition strategy
and by carrying out detailed due diligence on potential new sites. The Company also uses the significant
experience it has gained from acquiring 14 sites and developing many of these during the past 14 years.
Sales and settlements – the Company is exposed to the rate of sales of new and existing homes, the
price of sales of new homes (and to a lesser extent the price of sales of existing homes) and to the
timing of settlements of new homes (revenue is only recorded when a sale of a home is settled). The
Company’s experience to date is that sales rates and realisations are closely related to the difference
between the median house price in the area and the home price in the Lifestyle Community. This factor
attracts a great deal of attention during the site selection process and also during the development of
the community.
Community roll out – management of the construction programme is important to ensure cash flow is
managed efficiently and returns are maximised. The Company mitigates this risk by taking a stage by
stage approach to construction based on a required level of pre‐sales.
Financing risk – there is a risk the Company will not achieve its growth strategy due to insufficient capital
or the inability to obtain new debt facilities. The Company may also experience re‐financing risk if all
debt facilities were cancelled in a short period of time. The Company mitigates these risks by:
maintaining a balance sheet with a reasonably low level of gearing; ensuring it complies with all debt
covenants and reporting obligations; ensuring sufficient term for debt facilities; and tightly managing
the commencement and rate of development of new communities.
Community management – it is important communities are well managed and homeowners have a high
level of satisfaction. A well managed community will: generate new sales from homeowner referrals;
add to the Lifestyle Communities brand; assist in facilitating resales of existing homes; and improve the
profitability of the community management business. The Company mitigates community
management risk by maintaining a very transparent sales and contract process, undertaking careful
selection of community management teams, maintaining community facilities to a high standard,
ensuring regular community activities and events, and maintaining the common areas and gardens to
a high standard.
Regulatory risk – the Company’s operations and business and financial model are impacted by the
Residential Tenancies Act and the Social Securities Act. Changes to this legislation could have an
adverse impact on the operating and financial performance of the Company.

Remuneration Report (audited)
Dear fellow shareholders,
On behalf of the Board, we are pleased to present Lifestyle Communities’ Remuneration Report for the
2017 financial year.
As mentioned in the Chairman’s letter, the Board introduced an employee incentive scheme for the
2017 financial year to align the interests of staff and senior management with the objectives of the
business. In our judgement, the target that best unifies employees and benefits shareholders is an
annual new home settlement target. For the 2017 financial year the target range was set at 250 to 270
new home settlements and the business achieved 278 new home settlements with a consequently
strong profit.
For the 2018 financial year the target range has been set at 260 to 290 new home settlements and we
expect to announce the 2019 financial year employee share plan target during the 2018 financial year.
The HR & Remuneration Committee is planning to annually review the operation of this scheme to
ensure that shareholder value is being driven from the single new home settlement target and the
quantum of shares issued to employees. For the 2018 financial year, the same level of shares will be
available to senior executives and employees and the actual number awarded will depend on the
number of new home settlements achieved.
The Board believes that the business should continue to be scaled to continue the growth in annual
new home settlements and Company profitability over time. To this end, we are continuing to invest in
senior management, head office resources and various management systems to meet this objective for
the benefit of all shareholders.
The following report sets out further detail on your Company’s approach to remuneration.
Yours sincerely
Tim Poole

Non‐executive directors’ remuneration
4.
4.1 Fixed fees
All non‐executive Directors are paid fixed fees for their services to the Company. The level of fees are
set to enable the Company to attract and retain Directors of high calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is
reasonable having regard to the size and complexity of the Company.
The aggregate amount of fees paid is within the overall amount approved by shareholders in a general
meeting. The last determination was made at the Annual General Meeting held in November 2007 at
which shareholders approved an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 per annum.
Fixed fees paid to Directors during the 2017 financial year are set out in section 8.
4.2 Review of non‐executive Directors’ fees
The HR & Remuneration Committee annually reviews the level of fees paid to non‐executive Directors.
Fees payable to the Chair are currently set at $100,000 per annum. Fees paid to the other non‐executive
Directors are $55,000 per annum plus an additional $5,000 per annum for each committee Chair.
Executive Directors and senior management remuneration
5.
5.1 Framework
The Company’s executive remuneration framework consists of the following elements:
fixed remuneration; and
performance linked remuneration (using equity incentives).
In determining executive remuneration the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:
Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent;
Aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder
value; and
Transparent and acceptable to shareholders.

5.2 Determining fixed remuneration
Managing Director
The total remuneration for the Managing Director (inclusive of superannuation) is $450,000 and has
not changed during the 2017 financial year. This fixed remuneration includes a $20,000 car allowance
as compensation for the high level of travel required between the Company’s communities. The
Managing Director does not participate in any short term or long term incentive plans.
Senior management
Fixed remuneration for senior management is reviewed annually or on promotion. Fixed remuneration
is benchmarked against market data for comparable roles.
5.3 Equity incentive scheme
As foreshadowed in the Company’s 2016 Remuneration Report, the Company has put in place an equity
incentive scheme (EIS) with effect from 1 July 2016.
Pursuant to the incentive scheme, fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, acquired on‐market, will
be issued to eligible employees on reaching new home settlement targets as follows:
Settlement targets
FY2017
250 to 270
FY2018
260 to 290
Should settlement targets be achieved, ordinary shares will be issued as follows:
Key management personnel and other senior management (on a pro‐rata basis based on
standard hours) will receive: 10,000 shares if the low point of the target is reached; 15,000
shares if the mid‐point is reached; and 20,000 shares if the high point is reached or exceeded.
All other eligible employees (on a pro‐rata basis based on standard hours) will receive: 500
shares if the low point of the target is reached; 1,000 shares if the mid‐point is reached; and
1,500 shares if the high point is reached or exceeded.
In relation to the 2017 financial year, 278 new home settlements were achieved meaning the high point
of the target was exceeded.
To be eligible to fully participate in the incentive scheme, employees will need to have been employed
by the Company on 1 July of the target year with shares to be allocated in September following the end
of the target year. Employees commencing employment with the Company after 1 July of the target
year are entitled to a pro‐rata incentive. Shares allocated to key management personnel and other
senior management have the following service (or escrow) conditions: 25% of shares have no service
requirements; 25% have a one‐year service requirement; and the remaining 50% have a two‐year
service requirement. The allocation relating to all other employees will not have a service requirement
and will be allocated provided they are employed by the Company at the date of allocation.
For accounting purposes, shares will be measured based on the valuation (share price) at grant date
and then expensed recognising any service period. For the shares allocated to key management
personnel and other senior management, 25% of the expense will be recognised in the target year, 25%
in the year following the target year and the remaining 50% in the second year following the target
year. All other shares will be recognised and expensed over a period incorporating the target year and
any further time to allotment following the target year.
The operation of the equity incentive scheme is conducted through an Employee Share Trust
administered by an independent third party, Smartequity Pty Ltd.

5.4 Short‐term incentives
The equity incentive scheme provides an element of short‐term incentive to key management
personnel and other senior management as 25% of shares allocated have no service requirements.
This is a change from the original structuring of the scheme as outlined in the 2016 Remuneration
Report. The original structuring had no short‐term incentive with all shares allocated having a service
requirement of one or two years for the 2017 target year and two or three years for the 2018 target
year. The Board altered the structuring such that 25% of each target year’s shares have no service
requirement to ensure the equity incentive scheme better meets the objective of attracting and
retaining key talent. As the new scheme was being implemented, the Board decided the service
requirements were too excessive and would not provide sufficient incentive and retention for key
management personnel and other senior management.
5.5 Long‐term incentives
The equity incentive scheme provides a long‐term incentive to key management personnel and other
senior management as 25% of shares allocated have a one‐year service requirement and 50% of shares
allocated have a two‐year service requirement. The use of ordinary shares also provides strong long
term alignment between employees and shareholders.
In prior years the Company has utilised an Employee Share Loan Plan (ESLP) and a Senior Executives
and Directors Share Option Plan (ESOP) to retain key talent. No shares or options were issued pursuant
to these plans during the 2017 financial year and there is no intention to issues any further shares or
options pursuant to these plans.
Refer to section 9 for details of shares issued pursuant to the ESLP held by key management personnel.
Relationship between remuneration and performance
6.
The Company’s current remuneration framework, outlined in sections 4 and 5, was historically based
primarily on providing fixed remuneration. The new equity incentive scheme provides a basis for
additional performance linked remuneration in addition to fixed remuneration.
There was significant debate and consideration by the Board and HR & Remuneration Committee as to
the appropriate performance conditions for the equity incentive scheme. Ultimately, new home
settlements was chosen as the only performance condition as new home settlements is the main driver
of earnings growth and the creation of shareholder value. It is also a simple measure, it is easy to
measure and it is one that all employees can play a role in achieving.

Impact on settlements
Supported by the Managing Director, the acquisitions department is incentivised by
the ability to influence the future settlement pipeline.
Although the marketing department have long‐term strategies for growing enquiries
they have a short‐term ability to directly impact enquiries leading to sales and
settlements.
The construction department is responsible for ensuring efficiency within the
construction programme to meet settlements based on sales demand. Whilst also
having a direct impact on short‐term settlements they are increasingly responsible for
driving customer referral as they are highly customer focused.
The sales department directly influence conversion of enquiries to sales and then
move those sales though to settlement. The sales department is also a key part of
increasing customer referral.
The operations department is responsible for the seamless experience of our
homeowners at move‐in date and work closely with the sales and construction
departments. By providing a high level of customer service the operations team
promote referral and therefore future sales and settlements.
The customer contact department was established in January 2017 and has had an
immediate impact. The conversion of new enquiries to appointment with sales
consultants as well as conversion of older leads has improved greatly leading to higher
sales and settlements.
The finance department ensure sufficient funding is in place for future acquisitions and
delivering the construction programme.
The Board and HR & Remuneration Committee considered a range of factors in setting the target
range for the 2017 financial year. Prior to the commencement of the financial year, the Company had
provided guidance that the expected new home settlement range for the 2017 financial year was 250
to 270 so this was a logical starting point. The Company’s budget for new home settlements was also
within this range, with the top end of the range higher than budget. Analyst forecasts for new home
settlements were also within this range with the analyst average approximately equivalent to the
midpoint of the range.

Equity Incentive Scheme terms and conditions
Fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, acquired on‐market, will be issued to eligible employees on
reaching new home settlement targets for FY2017 and FY2018, should settlement targets be achieved,
ordinary shares will be issued as follows:
Key management personnel and other senior management (on a pro‐rata basis based on
standard hours) will receive: 10,000 shares if the low point of the target is reached; 15,000
shares if the mid‐point is reached; and 20,000 shares if the high point is reached or exceeded.
All other eligible employees (on a pro‐rata basis based on standard hours) will receive: 500
shares if the low point of the target is reached; 1,000 shares if the mid‐point is reached; and
1,500 shares if the high point is reached or exceeded.
To be eligible to fully participate in the incentive scheme, employees will need to have been employed
by the Company on 1 July of the target year with shares to be allocated in September following the end
of the target year. Employees commencing employment with the Company after 1 July of the target
year are entitled to a pro‐rata incentive. Shares allocated to key management personnel and other
senior management have the following service (or escrow) conditions: 25% of shares have no service
requirements; 25% have a one‐year service requirement; and the remaining 50% have a two‐year
service requirement. The allocation relating to all other employees will not have a service requirement
and will be allocated provided they are employed by the Company at the date of allocation.
For accounting purposes, shares will be measured based on the valuation (share price) at grant date
and then expensed recognising any service period. For the shares allocated to key management
personnel and other senior management, 25% of the expense will be recognised in the target year, 25%
in the year following the target year and the remaining 50% in the second year following the target
year. All other shares will be recognised and expensed over a period incorporating the target year and
any further time to allotment following the target year.

Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
1.
Board functions
The Company has a Board Charter which describes the roles and responsibilities of the Board.
The primary role of the Board is to create shareholder value by setting the strategic direction of the
Company. Matters reserved for the Board include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
setting the strategic direction of the Company;
approving and monitoring operating budgets and major capital expenditure;
overseeing the integrity of the Company's financial reporting;
overseeing the management of the Company’s debt facilities;
overseeing the Company’s risk management strategy and approval of the risk management
framework;
selecting, appointing, and where necessary removing, the Managing Director;
delegating responsibility to the Managing Director, and setting the limits of delegation from
the Managing Director to other management;
appointing committees to assist in the oversight of the Company; and
reviewing Board performance.
The Board has delegated other matters and the day to day management of the Company to the
Managing Director, James Kelly, and established cascading delegated authority levels for senior

Company's strategic plan within the Company's risk management framework and ensuring accurate

management and the Board.

Director appointment, election and re‐election
Vetting is undertaken before new Directors are appointed, elected or re‐elected to the Board to ensure
they are appropriate candidates. This includes background checks, such as for bankruptcy. Information
included in respect of recommendation 2.4 (below) further describes the process undertaken by the
Board and the information considered in relation to appointing a person as a Director.
For the election or re‐election of Directors at Annual General Meetings, the notice of meeting sets out
for shareholders information on candidates, including details of any other directorships and whether
they are considered to be independent.
Director and Senior Executive agreements
The Company has a written agreement with each Director and senior executive clearly outlining the
terms of their appointment.
For non‐executive Directors the agreement includes the Company's expectations concerning
involvement with
individual committees, remuneration, circumstances under the Company's
constitution in which a Director’s office becomes vacant, indemnity and insurance arrangements,
access to corporate information, confidentiality and a requirement to comply with Company policies.
For the Managing Director and senior executives the agreement includes similar material (where
relevant) as well as a description of the position, roles and responsibilities, the term of appointment,
resignation and termination processes, and entitlements on resignation or termination. Further details
of the key terms for the employment agreements for the Managing Director and senior executives are
set out in the Remuneration Report.
Company Secretary
The Company Secretary, Geoff Hollis, has a direct reporting line to the Chair of the Board to ensure that
the Board and its committees function efficiently and effectively. The responsibilities of the Company
Secretary include advising on governance matters such as Board and committee policies, supporting
meetings by preparing agendas and minutes, and communicating with ASIC and the ASX.
Diversity
The Company values diversity and recognises the benefits it brings to the organisation. The Company
has developed a Diversity Policy to take advantage of a workforce comprised of people with a diverse
range of skills, backgrounds and experience.
Page 33
For personal use only
The Company supports diversity in its workforce by:
Treating all employees fairly and with respect and dignity as detailed in the Code of Conduct;
Actively and promoting a working environment that values diversity and tolerance of
differences;
Ensuring that applicants and employees of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply for, and
have fair opportunity to be considered for all available roles;
Ensuring that the Company’s policies encourage diversity and address specific barriers to
groups of employees, such as those with domestic responsibilities, by making reasonable
provision for the special needs of these employees, by means such as the Flexible Working
Arrangements, Parental Leave and Other Leave Standards, and recognising and rewarding
innovative strategies to accommodate diverse groups within the workforce;
Setting, reviewing and reporting annually, measurable objectives; and
Complying with all anti‐discrimination and equal opportunity legislation.
Gender diversity is of particular importance as the Company has over 40% of homes occupied by single
females and over 60% the Company’s homeowners are female. The Company has the following
objectives in relation to gender diversity which are assessed by the HR & Remuneration Committee
annually:
• Objective 1: female representation on the Board at all times;
• Objective 2: female representation within the senior management team; and
• Objective 3: 50% or more female employees across its workforce.
This seeks to ensure adequate female representation across all of the Company's business practices.
There is a particular emphasis on gender diversity in the sales and community management functions
of the Company.
During the 2017 financial year each of the three objectives were achieved.
Measuring performance
The Company has an informal evaluation process for Board and committee performance which focuses
on the role of the Board, its size and composition, the procedures and practices of the Board and
meeting arrangements. The evaluation also includes an assessment of the future requirements of the
Board in relation to the skills and experience required to ensure that Board composition is appropriate
for the needs of the Company.
Individual non‐executive Director performance is assessed by the Chair informally to ensure that the
Director continues to operate effectively within the Board. This may involve discussions with the
Director and with other members of the Board, and considering the Director's:
skills, experience, performance and contributions to the Board, committees and other aspects
of the Company;
degree of independence; and
availability to attend and prepare for Board and committee meetings.
An evaluation of the Board, committees and individual directors was undertaken during the 2017
financial year.
The Company has an on‐going evaluation process for senior management. The HR & Remuneration
Committee and Managing Director sets performance objectives for senior executives necessary to
achieve the strategic objectives of the Company. Performance of senior executives is assessed annually
by the Managing Director.

2.
Board selection process and induction
The Board believes that the composition, including selection, appointment, renewal and retirement of
members, is of such importance that it is the role of the Board as a whole to manage.
In considering the nomination and appointment of new Directors, the Board assesses candidates with
regard to their experience in the industry, as well as more generally, and their skills, qualifications,
personal qualities and background. In addition, in selecting new Directors, the Board looks for
candidates with skills that complement and balance those of the existing Directors.
The Board reviews succession planning and senior leadership development on at least an annual basis.
Details of the number of Board meetings and attendance at those meetings are set out on page 9 of
the Directors' Report.
The mix of skills and diversity that the Company seeks to achieve on the Board includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
accounting, finance and capital markets;
property development, construction and management;
asset management;
information technology;
financial and business management;
sales and marketing; and
legal, tax and regulatory.
The Board has an induction program for newly‐appointed non‐executive Directors. This provides
including written materials, briefings, training on accounting principles (where
orientation
appropriate), site visits and educational opportunities designed to make them familiar with the
Company and better equipped to perform their duties. This seeks to build an understanding of the
Company's business, the markets in which it operates, customers, suppliers, employees and community
residents.
Directors are also encouraged to attend external director education programs to develop and maintain
their skills and knowledge.
Independence
The Board comprises Tim Poole, Jim Craig and Philippa Kelly as independent non‐executive Directors,
Bruce Carter as a non‐executive Director and James Kelly as Managing Director. Details of their
qualifications, experience and length of service are set out on pages 4 and 5 of the Directors’ Report.
The Board considers an independent Director to be a non‐executive Director who is not a member of
management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with
– or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the independent exercise of their
judgement as a Director of the Company.
Tim Poole, Jim Craig and Philippa Kelly are considered to be independent under this definition. Further,
none of the aforementioned non‐executive Directors have an interest, position, association or
relationship of the type described in item 2.3 of the ASX Principles and Recommendations. Bruce Carter
is not considered independent as he transitioned from executive to non‐executive Director on 1 July
2015. The Board assesses independence at least annually.

The Chair of the Board, Tim Poole, is an independent Director. James Kelly is the Company's Managing
Director.
Act ethically and responsibly
3.
The Company recognises that its reputation is one of its most valuable assets to build long‐term value
for its shareholders. The Company’s Code of Conduct applies to its Directors, senior executives and
employees.
The Company is committed to promoting and maintaining a high standard of corporate ethics and
business integrity. As stated in the Company's Code of Conduct, all Directors, senior executives and
employees must act with integrity and professionalism and be scrupulous in the proper use of Company
information, funds, equipment and facilities. Directors, senior executives and employees are to
exercise fairness, equity, proper courtesy, consideration and sensitivity in dealing with customers,
employees and other stakeholders. See also the information in respect of recommendation 7.4 below.
The Code of Conduct is a detailed statement concerning:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
responsibilities of all Directors, senior executives and employees;
practices to promote the best interests and reputation of the Company;
confidentiality;
Company property;
conflicts of interests;
public statements;
policies for preventing the acceptance or offering of bribes or other forms of unlawful or
unethical payments or inducements;
• measures to encourage the reporting of unlawful or unethical behaviour;
•
•
compliance; and
breaches of the Code.
The Company has a Securities Trading Policy. Under the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, Directors,
senior executives and employees must not trade in any securities of the Company at any time when
they are in possession of unpublished, price sensitive information in relation to those securities.
Provided dealing would not otherwise contravene the insider trading provisions of the Corporations
Act, Directors, senior executives and employees can deal in securities of the Company outside of the
following prohibited periods:
from 1 January to the opening of trading on the second Business Day after the Company’s half‐
yearly results are announced to the ASX;
from 1 July to the opening of trading on the second Business Day after the Company’s annual
results for that year are announced to the ASX;
from the opening of trading on the date that is two weeks prior to the AGM to the opening of
trading on the first Business Day after the close of the AGM; and
any additional period, as specified by the Board.
Trading within a prohibited period can only occur with the prior approval from the Chair.
The Code of Conduct encourages the reporting of unlawful and unethical behaviour and protects
whistle‐blowers. Any employee who makes a complaint and complies with the reporting process will
not be disadvantaged or prejudiced in any way.
Page 36
For personal use only
All complaints are treated as confidential. Directors, senior executives and employees can report
straight to the Managing Director, Company Secretary or the Chair of the Audit Committee if they
believe their immediate supervisor may be implicated.
Directors, senior executives and employees must avoid any personal, financial or other interest that
may conflict with their duties and responsibilities to the Company. Any interest that may constitute a
conflict of interest must be promptly disclosed to the Managing Director, Company Secretary or the
Chair of the Audit Committee.
Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting
4.
Audit Committee
The Company has an Audit Committee that consists of three members, Philippa Kelly, Jim Craig and
Bruce Carter, two of which are independent non‐executive Directors (see Recommendation 2.1). All
three Committee members have and maintain very good financial literacy. Further information on their
skills, qualifications and experience is set out on pages 4 and 5 of the Directors’ Report.
The Chair of the Audit Committee is Philippa Kelly, and she is not the Chair of the Board.
Details of the number of Audit Committee meetings and attendance at those meetings are set out on
page 7 of the Directors' Report.
The Audit Committee has adopted a formal Charter, which is available on the Company's website. The
Charter sets out the Audit Committee’s composition, responsibilities and powers to ensure the
adequacy of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s internal
financial controls and the appointment of the external auditor. The Audit Committee will consider
matters relevant to the preparation of the Company's financial statements for approval by the Board.
It also monitors the external auditor’s ongoing independence, effectiveness and scope of work, as well
as the rotation of the audit engagement partner. The Audit Committee may seek advice from external
consultants or specialists where it considers necessary.
External auditor
The external auditor, Pitcher Partners, was appointed in November 2008 and was selected based on
having the necessary skills, objectivity and independence. This appointment is reviewed by the Board
annually. The Company's policy on audit rotation requires the partner managing the audit for the
external auditor be changed within a period of five years.
The Company's external auditor is invited to attend meetings of the Audit Committee when
appropriate, including meetings without management being present.
Approval of financial statements
As part of the Company's financial assurance processes, the Directors receive a declaration from the
Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer before approving financial statements for a full year
or half year period.
Page 37
For personal use only
The declaration confirms to the Directors that, in the opinion of the Managing Director and the Chief
Financial Officer:
•
•
•
the Company’s financial records have been properly maintained in accordance with the
Corporations Act;
the financial statements and the notes for the financial period or year comply with the
accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance
of the Company; and
the declaration is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and
that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting
risks.
Annual General Meeting
The Company holds a general meeting each year and copies of presentations are lodged with the ASX
and made available on the Company's website. Shareholders have the opportunity to ask questions at
the meeting and meet informally with Directors after the meeting.
The Company's external auditor attends the general meeting each year and is available to answer
questions from shareholders regarding the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the
auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of its financial
statements and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit. The Company
considers this is an important safeguard for the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process.
Make timely and balanced disclosure
5.
Continuous disclosure
ASX Listing Rule 3.1 requires the Company to inform the ASX immediately once the Company is or
becomes aware of any information concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a
material effect on the price or value of the Company’s shares. Procedures are in place to ensure that
items which potentially require announcement to the ASX are promptly notified to relevant parties for
approval. Depending upon content, either the Board, Managing Director or Company Secretary is
responsible for authorising market releases. All market releases are posted to the Company’s website.
The Company takes the spirit of its continuous disclosure obligations seriously and issues market
releases during the year to satisfy these obligations. All ASX announcements are available on the
Company’s website.
Respect the rights of security holders
6.
Company’s website
The Company's website is one of the Company’s key communication tools.
The Company endeavours to keep the website up‐to‐date and accurate in order to provide information
about the Company’s performance and governance to investors. The Company values transparency in
all areas of operation, and understands that quality disclosure can foster the trust and confidence of
shareholders and investors.
The Company encourages shareholders to take an active interest in the Company, and publishes
information about the Company’s history, current projects and corporate structure.
Page 38

The following key documents are available for shareholders on the Company’s website under the
‘Investor Information’ section:

Communication with shareholders
The Company recognises the timeliness, convenience and environmental advantages of electronic
communication. Shareholders have the option of communicating with the Company electronically.
Shareholders who wish to update their communication preferences should contact the Company's
share registry.
The Annual General Meeting allows the Company to provide shareholders with a greater understanding
of the Company’s operations, governance, performance and prospects, and gives shareholders the
opportunity to raise questions or concerns.
Communications with analysts, investors, media and others
The Managing Director, James Kelly and the Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary, Geoff Hollis,
generally deal with analysts, investors, media and others, taking account of regulatory guidelines
including those issued by the ASX on continuous disclosure. The presentations on the 30 June and 31
December results and other presentations are sent to the ASX and are available promptly on the
Company’s website. A teleconference held in respect of the 30 June and 31 December presentations
is conducted on the afternoon of the release.
The Company’s Communications Policy is available on the Company’s website.
Recognise and manage risk
7.
The Company considers risk management as a core principle of sound corporate governance. The
Company recognises the importance of managing risk and controlling its business activities in a manner
which enables it to protect established value, identify and capitalise on opportunities to create value,
enhance resilience to external events and avoid or reduce risks which may cause injury or loss.
Page 39
For personal use only
Risk management
In view of its size and operational structure, the Board considers that it is able to oversee the Company's
risk management framework efficiently and effectively without establishing a risk committee (stand‐
alone or part of the responsibilities of the audit committee).
A formal risk register has been developed and approved by the Board. The register identifies specific
risks at an operational and strategic level and provides the framework for the reporting and monitoring
of material risks across the Company.
The full Board is responsible for oversight of the Company’s risk management and control framework.
The Board receives periodic reports from management on risk management matters.
The Company has disclosed its current material business risks within the Operating and Financial
Review on page 16 of the Annual Report.
The Company’s risk management processes and systems that were in place over the reporting period
include:
robust planning and budgeting process providing a long‐term financial model that enables
the Board to review timely financial forecasts as well as analyse future opportunities and
sensitivities. The Board also receives regular forecasts in relation to the liquidity of the
business;
comprehensive site selection process that requires Board approval of any acquisition case
prior to any land acquisition. The Board is then notified and approves any changes
(positive or negative) to the acquisition case prior to the commencement of construction;
a system of delegated authorities that cascades authority levels for expenditure and
commitments from the Board, the delegation to the Managing Director and further
cascading of authorities from the Managing Director to the rest of the organisation;
maintaining insurance cover appropriate to the size and nature of the Company’s
operations to reduce the financial impact of any significant insurable losses;
establishing a risk register which identifies the material risks facing the Company and
which is regularly reviewed and updated. This includes providing a risk rating, assessment
of the key controls in place to manage the risk and the person(s) responsible for
implementing and reviewing controls; and
all members of the senior management team report to the Board on financial and non‐
financial matters and meet with the Board at least quarterly.
Internal audit
The Company does not have a formal internal audit function. In view of the size of the Company, such
a function is not considered necessary or appropriate at this time. A natural control mechanism exists
in companies of this size as the Board works closely with the staff and, because the transactional volume
is small, the Directors have a detailed knowledge of the Company.
During the 2017 financial year the Company commenced process improvements in relation to the
following areas: accounts payable and purchase order systemisation; new payroll and HR management
system; fixed assets reporting; and monthly reporting processes. These improvements are anticipated
to be completed during the 2018 financial year.
Page 40
For personal use only
Environmental risk management
The Company's risk register (described above), identifies specific risks for the Company at an
operational and strategic level.
The sustainability of the Company's business could also be adversely impacted by the way in which the
Company conducts its business and the effects on the Company's residents, employees, suppliers as
well as the Company's shareholders.
The Board has regard to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks. It does so by
considering:
• what issues are important to the sustainability of the Company's business;
•
• whether it is in the interests of the Company to adopt particular measures having regard to
how those issues could be addressed; and
the materiality of the risk addressed and the likely costs of doing so or failing to do so.
This process is applied by the Board as part of its annual planning and budget approval process, when
setting the Company's strategy and when considering significant transactions for the Company.
By having regard to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks in the manner described
above, the Board seeks to ensure that it acts in the best interests of the Company.
Remunerate fairly and responsibly
8.
Remuneration Committee
The Company has an HR & Remuneration Committee that consists of three members, Jim Craig, Philippa
Kelly and Tim Poole who are all independent non‐executive Directors (see Recommendation 2.1). The
Chair of the HR and Remuneration Committee is Jim Craig, and he is not the Chair of the Board.
Details of the number of HR & Remuneration Committee meetings and attendance at those meetings
are set out on page 7 of the Directors' Report.
The HR & Remuneration Committee has adopted a formal Charter which is available on the Company's
website. The Charter sets out the HR & Remuneration Committee’s responsibilities including oversight
and approval of the human resources and remuneration policies and practices of the Company. The
HR & Remuneration Committee may seek advice from external consultants or specialists where it
considers necessary.
Details of remuneration
Details of remuneration of Directors, the Managing Director and senior management are included in
the Remuneration Report on pages 24 and 25 of the 2017 Annual Report and in notes 24 and 26 to the
financial statements (set out on pages 68 and 69 of the 2017 Annual Report).

For the year ended 30 June 2017
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation and presentation
of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
This financial report
Standards,
Corporations Act 2001 .
is a general purpose financial report,
Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of
that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the
The financial report covers Lifestyle Communities Limited and controlled entities as a consolidated entity. Lifestyle Communities
Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Lifestyle Communities Limited is a for-profit entity
for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors as at the date of the director's report.
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of Lifestyle Communities Limited also comply with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Historical Cost Convention
The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluation to fair value for certain
classes of assets as described in the accounting policies.
Significant accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in applying the entity's accounting
policies. Those estimates and judgements significant to the financial report are disclosed in Note 2.
(b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising the financial statements of the parent entity
and of all entities which the parent entity controls. The group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting
policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies, which may exist.
inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits and losses have been eliminated on consolidation.
All
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is established and are de-recognised from the date that control ceases.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the group are presented as non-controlling interests.
Non-controlling interests in the results of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or loss and other
Comprehensive income and consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, bank overdrafts and short-term deposits with an original maturity of
three months or less held at call with financial institutions.
(d) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Inventories include housing units built but not sold as well as
capitalised civils and infrastructure, wages and holding costs. With effect from 1 January 2009 sales contract terms were changed
and inventories include civil and infrastructure costs.
Inventories are classified as either current or non-current assets pursuant to the
timing of their anticipated sale.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition
criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
(i) Home settlement revenue
Revenue from home settlements is recognised when there is persuasive evidence, usually in the form of settlement of the home,
indicating that there has been a transfer of risks and rewards to the customer, no further work or processing is required, the quantity
and quality of the goods has been determined, the price is fixed and generally ownership has passed. The consolidated entity
considers all risks and rewards as transferred to the customer upon receipt of final settlement.
(ii) Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to
the financial assets.
(iii) Rental revenue
Rental revenue from investment properties is derived from home owners and is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
(iv) Utilities revenue
Utilities revenue is derived from homeowners and is billed monthly and recorded as revenue in the month of billing.
(v) Deferred management fee
The deferred management fee is receivable upon a resident selling their home. Revenue is recorded upon the resale settlement of
the home.
For all contracts entered into prior to 1 January 2009, the fee payable is 15% on the resale value of the unit and after a period of
occupation of a year and one day.
For all contracts entered into post 1 January 2009, the fee payable is up to 20% (the fee accumulates by 4% per year over 5 years up
to 20%) on the resale value of the unit.
(vi) Sub-division revenue
Sub-division revenue is derived from land sold that is surplus to requirements for the residential communities. Sub-division revenue
is recognised upon the exchange of an unconditional contract or if the contract is conditional once those conditions have been
satisfied.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(f) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Property under development is not depreciated. The depreciable amounts of all other fixed assets are depreciated over their
estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis (prior year included some diminishing value assets) over the estimated useful life of
the assets as follows:
2017 2016
Buildings 40 years 40 years
Plant and equipment 4 to 25 years 2 to 13 years
Computer equipment 2 to 3 years 2 to 9 years
Motor vehicles 4 to 7 years 4 to 7 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year
end.

For the year ended 30 June 2017
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Investment properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.
Investment properties include undeveloped land and
land subject to residential site lease agreements. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are re-measured at fair
value, which reflects market conditions. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are
recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of
an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the year of retirement or disposal.
(h) Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so
as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
Operating leases
Lease payments for operating leases are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
(i) Impairment
in accordance with AASB 136
life are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment
Assets with an indefinite useful
Impairment of Assets. Assets subject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired.
An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset cash generating unit is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in
use.
(j) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs can include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, and ancillary costs incurred in
connection with arrangement of borrowings.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the cost of the construction of a qualifying
asset which are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. Acceptance fees are amortised over the life of the
facility.

For the year ended 30 June 2017
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(k) Income tax
Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax
rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax balances
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the assets are expected to
be recovered or liabilities are settled. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to temporary differences if they arose in
a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable
profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only when it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
Tax consolidation
The parent entity and its wholly owned subsidiaries have implemented tax consolidation and have formed an income tax-consolidated
group from 18 March 2011. This means that: each entity recognises their own current and deferred tax amounts in respect of the
transactions, events and balances of the entity; and the parent entity is assumes the current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising
in respect of tax losses, arising in the subsidiary, and recognises a contribution to (or distribution from) the subsidiaries. The tax
consolidated group also has a tax sharing agreement in place to limit the liability of subsidiaries in the tax-consolidated group, arising
under the joint and several liability provisions of the tax consolidation system, in the event of default by the parent entity to meet its
payment obligations.
(l) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled wholly within
twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid
when the liability is settled. The expected cost of short-term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual
leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
(ii) Long-term employee benefit obligations
The provision for employee benefits in respect of long service leave and annual leave which, are not expected to be settled wholly within
twelve months of reporting date, are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of
services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is
expected to occur.
(iii) Retirement benefit obligations
Defined contribution superannuation plan
The consolidated entity makes contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans in respect of employee services rendered
during the year. These superannuation contributions are recognised as an expense in the same period when the employee services are
received.
(iv) Share based payments
The consolidated entity operates an employee share loan scheme (ESLP) and an equity incentive scheme (EIS). Refer to Note 24 for
further information.
For the ESLP, convertible repurchase-able employee shares (CRES) are issued to employees. For accounting purposes CRES are
treated like options until the time of vesting. At the time of vesting an interest-free limited recourse loan is made to the participant with
the value reflected as equity. The CRES are then convertible to ordinary shares at the discretion of the participant prior to their expiry
with the loan being due and payable on or before expiry of the CRES. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled
is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account.
The number of employee share loans expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised
for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that
eventually vest. There are no further plans to issue CRES pursuant to the ESLP.
For the EIS, the Company provides a contribution to an Employee Share Trust for the estimated number of shares relating to the
relevant financial year. The Employee Share Trust purchases shares on-market and issues the relevant shares to participating
employees within three months of the end of the financial year. As the shares have not vested the contribution is recognised as
treasury shares within contributed equity. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date
and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(m) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the Australian Taxation Office.
In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as
part of an item of the expense. Where applicable receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of
GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing
activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(n) Financial instruments
Classification
The consolidated entity classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose
for which the instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments consist of trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade
and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable transactions costs (if any). After initial
recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are measured at fair value at inception and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method.
Interest bearing loans and borrowings
Interest bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable
transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that are yield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans
and borrowings.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least
12 months after the balance sheet date.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities include trade payables, other creditors and loans from third parties.
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
(o) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.
(p) Rounding of amounts
The parent entity and the consolidated entity have applied the relief available under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial /
Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and accordingly, the amounts in the consolidated financial statements and in the directors'
report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(q) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective at 30 June 2017
The following standards and interpretations have been issued at the reporting date but are not yet effective. The directors'
assessment of the impact of these standards and interpretations is set out below.
(i) AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January
2018)
AASB 15 introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle of the new Standard being for entities to
recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is,
payment) to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The five step approach is as follows:
step 1 - identify the contracts with the customer; step 2 - identify the separate performance obligations; step 3 - determine the
transaction price; step 4 - allocate the transaction price; and step 5 - recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
AASB 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously
addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element
arrangements.
The changes in revenue recognition requirements in AASB 15 are not expected to materially impact the timing and amount of
revenue recorded in the financial statements. There may be additional disclosure requirements which have not yet been quantified.
(ii) AASB 9: Financial Instruments (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018)
Significant revisions to the classification and measurement of financial assets, reducing the number of categories and simplifying
the measurement choices, including the removal of impairment testing of assets measured at fair value. The amortised cost model
is available for debt assets meeting both business model and cash flow characteristics tests. All investments in equity instruments
using AASB 9 are to be measured at fair value.
AASB 9 amends measurement rules for financial liabilities that the entity elects to measure at fair value through profit and loss.
Changes in fair value attributable to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income.
Revised disclosures about an entity’s hedge accounting have also been added to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures .
Impairment of assets is now based on expected losses in AASB 9 which requires entities to measure: the 12-month expected credit
losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months
after the reporting date); or full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over
the life of the financial instrument.
The changes in AASB 9 are not expected to materially impact the measurement of financial instruments recorded in the financial
statements. There may be additional disclosure requirements which have not yet been quantified.
(iii) AASB 16: Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019)
AASB 16 will replace AASB 117: Leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model that will require a lessee to recognise
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at their cost and lease liabilities are initially measured on a present value basis.
Subsequent to initial recognition:
- right-of-use assets are accounted for on a similar basis to non-financial assets, whereby the right-of-use asset is accounted for in
accordance with a cost model unless the underlying asset is accounted for on a revaluation basis, in which case if the underlying
asset is:
- investment property, the lessee applies the fair value model in AASB 140: Investment Property to the right-of-use asset; or
- property, plant or equipment, the lessee can elect to apply the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment to
all of the right-of-use assets that relate to that class of property, plant and equipment; and
- lease liabilities are accounted for on a similar basis as other financial liabilities, whereby interest expense is recognised in respect
of the liability and the carrying amount of the liability is reduced to reflect lease payments made.
AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, under AASB 16 a lessor would
continue to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases subject to whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially
all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, and would account for each type of lease in a manner
consistent with the current approach under AASB 117.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 may have an impact on the Group’s accounting for its operating
leases, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities,
revenue and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances.
The estimates and assumptions based on future events have a significant inherent risk, and where future events are not anticipated
there could be a material impact on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities in future periods, as discussed below.
(i) Significant accounting judgments
Income tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in the income tax legislation and the
anticipation that the group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the
conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences.
Consolidation of subsidiaries
The Company consolidates its interests in joint venture entities Cameron Street Developments Pty Ltd and Lifestyle Chelsea Heights
Pty Ltd in accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements requirements. The Company is exposed to variable returns
and is able to influence these returns via the power over the investee due to the structure of the arrangements with its joint venture
entities.
(ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
Valuation of investment properties
The Group values investment properties at fair value. Fair value is determined by a combination of the discounted annuity streams
associated with the completed and settled home units and the fair value of the undeveloped land.
Inputs for the fair value of investment
properties are derived from independent and Directors' valuations and are adjusted to reflect actual rental income.
Share based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at
the date at which they are granted. The fair value of the EIS is measured based on the share price at grant date and the fair value of
the ESLP is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Refer to Note 24 for further detail. The accounting estimates and assumptions
relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.
NOTE 3: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise loan notes, bank loans, finance leases, cash and term deposits, trade and other
receivables and trade payables.
The Group manages its exposure to key financial risk, including interest rate risk in accordance with the Group's financial risk
management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets whilst protecting future financial
security.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group
uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include market forecasts for
interest rates. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. These procedures are sufficient
to identify when mitigating action might be required.

For the year ended 30 June 2017
NOTE 3: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES & POLICIES (continued)
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised as follows:
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates to the Group’s long-term debt obligations. The level of
debt is disclosed in Note 17.
In August 2015 the Group re-financed a $27.6 million long-term loan facility that was subject to variable interest rates with an $80
million facility that is subject to variable interest rates.
Long-term debt obligations
As at balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk
(being the bank bill business rate):
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Financial liabilities
Bank overdraft
Secured loans - bank finance
Net exposure

If interest rates had moved and been effective for the period, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant,
post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

303,515 316,445 303,515 316,445
When determining the parameters for a possible change in interest rate risk, management has taken into consideration the current
economic environment at balance sheet date and historical movements.
A proportion of the impact on post tax profit is deferred due to the capitalisation of interest to inventory which is recognised when units
are sold.
Market risk
At balance date, the Group has no financial instruments exposed to material market risks other than interest rate risk.

NOTE 3: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES & POLICIES (continued)
Risk exposure and responses (continued)
Credit risk
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.
Credit risk arises from the financial assets for the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying
amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date has been assessed as minimal as the financial assets have been assessed as
having a high likelihood of being received.
Liquidity risk
The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of a bank facility. The Group
ensures that there is sufficient liquidity within the bank facility by maintaining internal credit requirements that are more conservative
than the financier.
The Group's debt as at balance date is outlined at Note 17.
The table below represents the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments and management expectation for
settlement of undiscounted maturities.
The remaining contractual maturities of the Group's financial liabilities are:

- $1,265,795 relates to deferred revenue which will be bought to account within six month or less.
- $5,300,522 relates to trade and other payables, refer to Note 15 for further detail.
(2) This amount is represented by the following financial liabilities:
- $12,102,300 relates to a contractual obligation for the unconditional contract to purchase land in Ocean Grove.
- $7,153,500 relates to a contractual obligation for the unconditional contract to purchase land in Bittern.
(3) On 26 August 2015 the company re-financed its bank facilities with Westpac Banking Corporation securing an $80,000,000 facility
with the first drawdown occurring on 25 September 2015. This facility is subject to internal credit management procedures whereby
funds drawn are allocated between development debt (capitalised to inventory) and pre-development debt (expensed). Development
debt includes funding for inventory and pre-development debt includes funding for undeveloped land. As at 30 June 2017 total debt
was $47,000,000 with $18,717,722 allocated to development debt and $28,282,278 allocated to pre-development debt (as at 30 June
2016 total debt was $46,000,000 with $33,607,940 allocated to development debt and $12,392,060 allocated to pre-development debt).
The Group has met all required covenants since the arrangements commenced and therefore expects that all current arrangements will
continue until the sooner of repayment or expiry.

(a) Fair value hierarchy
Assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value have been determined by the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2: Input other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data

(b) Valuation techniques and inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements
(i) Investment properties
The fair value of investment properties is determined by a combination of inputs from independent valuations and Directors' valuations.
Fair value is determined by a combination of the discounted annuity streams associated with the completed home units and the fair
value of the undeveloped land. Inputs, including discount rates, deferred management fee annuity value, and management expense
rates are derived from independent valuations. Rental capitalisation rates are derived from a combination of independent and Directors'
valuations. Some inputs relating to the rental annuity streams are adjusted to reflect appropriate data relating to the rental at those
communities that weren't valued in the current year. The fair value of undeveloped land is based on inputs from independent
valuations. Inputs from independent valuations are provided by property valuers who are industry specialists in valuing these types of
investment properties.
Investment properties have been classified as level 3 as it is an internally generated calculation that contains some non-observable
market inputs. The company does not adjust some of the major inputs obtained from the independent valuations such as discount
rates, the deferred management fee annuity values, and the management expense rates.
(c) Significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements
Rental capitalisation rates - rates were taken directly from the valuations for the six communities independently valued in the current
year. In relation to the remaining seven communities (independently valued in the prior year) the Directors have adjusted the rental
capitalisation rates to reflect those adopted by the independent valuers.
Deferred management fee annuity - the valuation for this component is taken directly from independent valuations.
Rental annuity - weekly rental rates were taken directly from the valuations for the six communities independently valued in the current
year. In relation to the remaining seven communities (independently value in the prior year) the Directors have adjusted the rate
adopted in the prior year by inflation to reflect annual rent increases.
Undeveloped land - the valuation for this component is taken from inputs within the independent valuations.
Below is a summary of the significant unobservable inputs utilised across the portfolio, including the inputs obtained from the
independent valuations:

Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within fair value adjustments.
(e) Valuation processes used for level 3 fair value measurements
(i) Investment properties
The Company obtains independent valuations of each community at least every two years. The Company uses the independent
valuers' inputs in relation to the rental and deferred management fee annuity streams for communities valued in the current year. For
those communities valued in the prior year the Directors utlise inputs from independent valuations to assess whether rental
capitalisation rates and weekly rental income should be adjusted. These adjustments are assessed at each period end. The
directors assess the value attributed to undeveloped land annually. Land contracted in any period is recognised at cost until the first
valuation is obtained.
(f) Sensitivity analysis for recurring level 3 fair value measurements
(i) Investment properties
The impact of changes to the inputs that affect the valuation of investment properties is assessed below:
Rental income
Rental is contractually fixed to increase by the greater of CPI or 3.5% annually. Therefore it is unlikely that there will be any material
sensitivities in relation to rental income.

(a) Fair value adjustment results from restating communities to their fair value at balance date. This income represents incremental
adjustments to the fair value of investment properties upon settlement of units and reflects the discounted value of future rental and
deferred management fee revenues net of expenses as well as the fair value of undeveloped land.
(b) Other fair value adjustments relate to transactions incurred that are not directly relating to investment properties but are fair value
in nature.

Investment properties are carried at fair value, which has been determined by a combination of inputs from independent valuations
and Directors' valuations. Fair value is determined by a combination of the discounted annuity streams associated with the completed
home units and the fair value of the undeveloped land. Inputs, including discount rates, deferred management fee annuity value, and
management expense rates are derived from independent valuations. Rental capitalisation rates are derived from a combination of
independent and Directors' valuations, rates were taken directly from independent valuations for the six communities independently
valued in the current year. In the remaining communities (independently valued in the prior year) the directors have adjusted the
rental capitalisation rates to reflect those adopted by the independent valuers. Weekly rental rates were taken directly from the
valuations for the six communities independently valued in the current year. In relation to the remaining seven communities
(independently value in the prior year) the Directors have adjusted the rate adopted in the prior year by inflation to reflect annual rent
increases. The fair value of the land is based on independent valuations. Inputs from independent valuations are provided by
property valuers who are industry specialists in valuing these types of investment properties.
The fair value represents the amount at which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a
knowledgeable willing seller in an arms length transaction at the date of the valuation, in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards. In determining fair value, the expected net cash flows applicable to each property have been discounted to their present
value using a market determined, risk-adjusted, discount rate applicable to the respective asset.
All rental income and deferred management fee income disclosed in the income statement was generated from investment
properties. All management expense relates to investment properties that generated rental income.
Investment properties are subject to a first charge, forming, in part, the security of the Group’s loans as disclosed in Note 17.
The investment properties are at various stages of development and are subject to further development until fully completed.

(a) Ordinary shares
Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry the right to dividends.
(b) CRES
800,000 convertible repurchase-able employee shares were issued on 22 May 2013 pursuant to the employee share loan plan
approved at the 2012 AGM. All CRES have now been converted to ordinary shares. The conversion of 800,000 CRES to ordinary
shares has crystallised a non-recourse loan with selected employees. This loan will only be brought to account upon settlement of the
loan by the employee. Loans in respect of 110,000 CRES were brought to account in FY2017 (FY2016: nil). For further information
relating to the value prescribed to the CRES refer to Note 24.
120,000 CRES shares issued in the prior year were cancelled in the current year due to a cessation of employment.
(c) Treasury shares
Treasury shares represent shares purchased by an Employee Share Trust that have not been issued to employees at balance date
pursuant to the Equity Incentive Scheme.
(d) Capital management
When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal
returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the
lowest cost of capital available to the entity by assessing the cost of equity (share issue), cost of debt (borrowings) or a combination of
both.
Dividends
As a general principle, the Directors of Lifestyle Communities intend to declare dividends out of post tax, operating cash flow generated
from community management. In FY2017 community management cash flows delivered a sufficient surplus to declare and pay an
interim fully franked dividend of 1.5 cent per share ($1,564,179) and declare a final fully franked dividend of 2.0 cents per share
($2,090,903).
Considerations in determining the level of free cash flow from which to pay dividends include: operating cash flow generated from
community management; the projected tax liability of Lifestyle Communities Limited; the level of corporate overheads attributable to
community roll out; the level of interest to be funded from free cash flow; and additional capital needs of the development business.
The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

(b) Types of share-based payment plans
Employee Share Loan Plan, 'ESLP'
The purpose of the ESLP is to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to acquire convertible repurchase‐able employee
shares ("CRES") in the Company and, by virtue of the fact that CRES are convertible into ordinary shares in the Company, thereby
enable them to participate in any growth in the value of the Company, encouraging them to improve the longer term performance of
the Company and its returns to shareholders, and to motivate and retain them. The issue of a CRES involves the granting of a
financial assistance loan to each participant for each CRES issued. The loan is due and payable on or before expiry of the CRES.
The ESLP was approved at the Company's 2012 AGM and 920,000 CRES shares have been issued under this plan to date, with
120,000 of these being cancelled in the financial year. The ESLP is available for selected employees but excludes directors.
It is
current policy not to issue further CRES under the ESLP.
When a participant ceases employment prior to the vesting of their CRES shares, the CRES are forfeited and the employee loan is
written off against CRES capital. The contractual life of each CRES share granted is five years. The vesting conditions require that the
owner of the CRES share has completed continuous service requirements with the Company since date of issue. There are no cash
settlement alternatives.
Equity Incentive Scheme, 'EIS'
The purpose of the EIS is to offer all employees (excluding Directors) the ability to obtain shares in the Company and enable them to
participate in any growth in the value of the Company, encouraging them to improve the longer term performance of the Company and
its returns to shareholders, and to motivate and retain them. Under this scheme, employees are offered ordinary shares in the
Company by way of share units issued by the share plan trustee in the Employee Share Trust.
There are two concurrent schemes, one for the senior management team and another for all other employees. Shares are offered in
September each year based on the business successfully meeting pre-determined home settlement targets in the prior financial year.
The first shares pursuant to this scheme will be issued in September 2017. Senior management shares have service conditions
whereby 100% of shares in respect of the 2017 financial year will be issued in September 2017 however 75% will be subject to a
service condition until September 2018 and then a further 50% will be subject to a service condition until September 2019 when all
shares will vest to the employees. The other scheme has no service requirements. An expense of $247,014 has been recorded in the
2017 financial year to reflect the estimated number of shares that will be issued in September 2017 in respect of home settlement
targets met in the 2017 financial year.
The fundamentals of the scheme was approved by the board of directors in the 2016 financial year and was formally adopted by the
board of directors in the 2017 financial year. The scheme will not result in new shares in the Company being issued. The Company
will make a cash contribution to the share plan trustee who will arrange the purchase of the required amount of shares on-market. The
Employee Share Trust has an independent share plan trustee and is not considered to be controlled by the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Lifestyle Communities Limited “the Company” and its
controlled entities “the Group”, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as
at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year
then ended, and 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)
(b)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants “the Code” that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES LIMITED
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment properties ‐ $211.3m
Refer to Note 14
This is the largest asset on the balance sheet,
representing 79% of total assets. Our audit
effort has increased in this area as the Group’s
investment property portfolio has grown in
recent years.
In particular, there is significant focus in
ensuring the underlying investments are valued
appropriately.
The valuation of the investment properties held
at fair value is based on key inputs and
assumptions noted in the valuation. Judgement
is applied to a number of the key inputs
including:
management fee expense percentages;
capitalisation rates; and
the value of deferred management
fees.
The Group engages external independent
valuers to undertake valuations of each
investment property every 2 years.
It is due to the size of the balance and use of
key input and assumption judgements that this
is a key area of audit focus.
Our procedures included amongst others:
the
key
external property
Evaluating
valuations obtained by management
and performing an assessment as to the
appropriateness of key
inputs and
assumptions used in the valuation;
Challenging
inputs and
the
assumptions provided by management
to the external valuers;
Comparing movements between key
inputs and assumptions in valuations
from prior periods to ensure they were
line with our knowledge and
in
expectation of the specific property and
the
applicable market
conditions;
Reviewing the properties which were
not subject to an external valuation, and
comparing the inputs to those used in
the prior period and indicators from
current external valuations.

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do 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, 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 ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related 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 has 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
TO THE MEMBERS OF
LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES LIMITED
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES LIMITED
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 17 to 30 of the directors’ report for the
year ended 30 June 2017. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Lifestyle Communities Limited,
for the year ended 30 June 2017, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
