Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR –––––––

In our second annual report since Oceania Healthcare 
became a listed company, I am pleased to report 
that your company has completed a successful year 
exceeding forecast profit and made great progress with 
the execution of our strategy to create long-term value.

In this ever-growing aged care sector, our strategy is to 
be a leading provider of aged care rooms and suites 
while also developing our portfolio of retirement village 
units. This year we have completed construction of  
92 units and care suites at Meadowbank, 25 villas at 
Elmwood, Auckland, and 10 villas at Stoke, Nelson with 
all these projects being delivered on time and on budget. 
Construction of 81 care suites at The BayView (previously 
Melrose, Tauranga) is on track for completion in October 
this year, and progress is steady at The Sands (Auckland), 
Trevellyn (Hamilton) and Green Gables (Nelson). These 
development projects will deliver a significant boost to 
our care suite offering.

With the acquisition this year of four properties in 
Auckland and the advancement of plans at our other 
premium Auckland sites, we announced in May 2018,  
our total development pipeline has increased 34% since 
our Initial Public Offering from 1,674 to over 2,100 units 
and care suites. We will be enhancing our build rate from 
200 units and care suites as declared at the time of the 
IPO, to 300 units and care suites in the medium term. 

Financial results
Net Profit after Tax increased by 71.5% to $77.0 million  
compared with $44.9 million for the prior financial year  
and exceeded IPO forecast by 45.0%.

We increased and extended our debt facilities in July 
2018 to provide us with sufficient headroom and 
flexibility to execute our development pipeline as and 
when directors consider we are ready to proceed.

Directors have declared a final dividend of 2.6 cents  
per share, taking full year dividends (non imputed) to  
4.7 cents per share which represents 55 % of underlying 
Net Profit after Tax.

Our people
We welcomed two new Directors this year, Sally Evans 
and Greg Tomlinson, to broaden the skillset of our Board 
and further assist us to create long term sustainable value 
for our shareholders. 

Once again we asked a great deal of our people this 
year and they certainly delivered. I would like to thank 
my fellow Directors, our Chief Executive, and the 
management team and staff for their contribution to 
the Company.

The Board and management of Oceania are focused on 
building quality products and delivering exceptional 
services that exceed the expectations of our residents. 
We remain determined to provide a consistent and 
reliable return on your investment and thank you for 
putting your trust in us.

Yours sincerely,

Underlying Net Profit after Tax also increased by 53.1%  
to $52.1 million compared with $34.0 million for the prior 
financial year and also exceeded IPO forecast.

Elizabeth Coutts 
Chair, Oceania Healthcare Limited

We have substantially increased our total assets due to 
our significant capital development program, greenfield 
acquisitions and revaluations with total assets valued at 
$1,147.2 million as at 31 May 2018.

Our net debt was $150.8 million as at 31 May 2018 and 
our gearing ratio remains prudent with net debt to net 
debt plus equity of 22%.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT –––––––

Improvement & performance

It has been an exhilarating year at  
Oceania Healthcare and we are  
thrilled to have outperformed our  
financial forecasts provided to  
investors at the time of our IPO. 

06

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018

We have delivered you 54% growth in underlying earnings, distributing 
dividends of 4.7 cents per share at a yield of 4.2%* and driven substantial 
improvements in the business over the past year.

Most importantly, we have proven our capability to 
design, build, sell and operate premium aged care and 
retirement village facilities that deliver industry-leading 
returns. In particular, we are demonstrating our point of 
difference through the weighting of our portfolio in care 
and higher returns generated from our care suite product. 
We know that the journey has really just begun, and with 
the current brownfields pipeline of approximately seven 
years of development ahead of us at an increased build 
rate of 250-300 care suites and retirement village units 
(61% of which already have resource consents in place), 
we have a very tangible, profitable and high growth 
future ahead. 

There were many highlights over the year and I would like 
to share just a few of them with you to show how much 
has been going on at Oceania Healthcare.

Developments

At the time of our IPO we said that we would complete 
97 retirement village units and 30 care suites in the  
year to 31 May 2018 and we did that with Meadowbank 
Stage 3, and the Elmwood villas in Auckland as well as 
the Stoke villa development in Nelson, delivered on time 
and on budget – an outstanding achievement given the 
tight construction sector. Our ability to deliver these 
projects according to forecast is testimony to the highly 
skilled and experienced internal development team at 
Oceania, which has 153 years construction and project 
management experience between them. We believe our 
model of “total ownership” of the development provides 
the right balance between managing costs and mitigating 
risk given the current market conditions. Mark Stockton, 
our General Manager of Property, explains this concept 
later on in this report. 

It is also pleasing to receive the excellent feedback from 
both residents, their families and investors as they visit 
Meadowbank and recognise the significant emphasis on 
design and construction quality of this Village, which is 
notably higher than other surrounding offerings. Oceania 
will be a brownfield developer for much of the medium-
term future, and our designs reflect the local communities 
in which we operate. While we are increasingly 
standardising our layouts and internal configurations to 
extract construction efficiencies, our designs are certainly 
not “cookie-cutter”, as evidenced by the quite stunning 
look of The Sands which is well advanced on the 
foreshore of Browns Bay on the North Shore of Auckland. 

In addition to the completion of Meadowbank Stage 3, 
and Elmwood and Stoke villa developments during the 
year, our development team commenced construction of 
Stage 1 at The BayView in Tauranga (formerly Melrose), 
Trevellyn in Hamilton and Green Gables in Nelson. These 
substantial new aged care buildings are being 
constructed adjacent to existing (operating) facilities. 
Stage 4 at Meadowbank also commenced comprising a 
further 49 premium retirement village apartments and 34 
care suites. With these four projects now well underway 
and The Sands progressing well, we have 451 units and 
care suites under construction with 272 of these expected 
to be completed within the next financial year. This is a 
significant increase to the IPO forecast. 

We announced in early May 2018 that our total 
development pipeline had increased by 34% since the 
IPO (from 1,674 to over 2,100 units and care suites) 
because of new land acquisitions in Auckland over the 
past year and advancing plans to redevelop our other 
premium Auckland sites. The acquisition of Waimarie

Street was a highlight as this site is located in the suburb 
of St Heliers in Eastern Auckland, with panoramic views  
of the Waitemata Harbour and the city skyline. We have 
subsequently secured ownership of several neighbouring 
properties which has increased the total site size from 
8,945m2 to 13,464m2, and our plan to develop a premium, 
integrated aged care and retirement village development 
on this site is progressing well. 

As well as proving our internal capability to deliver new 
developments, we already have resource consents in 
place for 1,303 units and care suites (61%) of our total 
2,129 pipeline. This substantially de-risks future build 
volume and enables us to effectively arrange resources 
and stage projects to manage development debt. 
Resource consents were obtained across three facilities 
comprising 457 units and care suites over the year and 
the team are working on consent applications for a 
further five sites in the balance of the pipeline.

Care

Aged care is our core competency; our roots are steeped 
in this business and we are market leaders in the delivery 
of excellent clinical care. We have a comparatively higher 
mix of hospital level care beds in our portfolio compared 
to other operators and are continuously innovating in 
both service delivery and product offering. This was 
proven once again during the past year with Oceania 
Healthcare winning the Overall Excellence in Aged Care 
Award at the New Zealand Aged Care Association 
Conference for the third year in the row. Our “I love 
Music” programme, delivering personalised music 
playlists to residents according to their individual 
preferences, was judged the most innovative in our 
category. The resident testimonies from this programme 
are both moving and heart-warming and you can watch 
some of these on our website.

Care suites are at the core of our growth strategy in  
aged care, with these premium, certified beds capable  
of delivering both rest home and hospital level care to 
our residents. This enables residents to remain in the 
same room throughout all care levels, with care being 
subsidised if the resident’s assets are below the 
Government threshold. This full-service capability  
sets care suites apart from serviced apartments in the 
sector, which are generally independent living units only 
capable of delivering low level care services and many 
are non-certified.

As we recycle our capital by selling care suites under 
occupation right agreements, we realise a deferred 
management fee at the end of the tenure whilst also 
generating aged care earnings during the tenure by 
delivering care services into the room. This innovative 
product provides the returns required to justify an 
investment in aged care and meet the significant increase 
in demand that will be coming as the population ages.

This wave of new generation residents is growing and they 
are demanding so much more than traditional rest homes 
have provided. Oceania Healthcare’s aged care growth 
strategy will deliver the superior product and services 
demanded by these customers. In addition to the 
premium rooms and common areas at our new 
Meadowbank care centre that opened in February, we 
began rolling out our new service delivery model. 
Residents are experiencing never seen before choices– 
food to order by our executive chef, Chris Eickhoff, a guest 
services coordinator and a concierge services team. This is 
just the beginning of the transformation of our aged care 
business as we build over 800 new care suites over 
approximately seven years in Auckland (The Sands, 
Meadowbank, Lady Allum, Waimarie Street, and Elmwood), 
Tauranga (The BayView), Hamilton (Trevellyn), Nelson 
(Green Gables), and Christchurch (Windermere) and many 
other sites making up the current development pipeline. 

We undertook a thorough review of our aged care 
portfolio during the past year and assessed the 
opportunity to enhance returns at each facility. We are 
proud to be a substantial nationwide provider of aged 
care services and deliver care in metropolitan locations as 
well as in the regions. Having a diversified national 
spread of sites has considerable benefits both in terms of 
scale of operations and diversifying geographical risk.

As well as new aged care redevelopments across the 
brownfields pipeline, our aged care portfolio review 
identified an opportunity to strategically reposition 
several sites by reconfiguring internal layouts to bring the 
product up to a superior standard and then selling these 
rooms as care suites, recovering our capital invested in 
the process. These sites are operating in locations with 
strong market fundamentals and future growth prospects, 
and by undertaking the refurbishments we improve 
earnings through both higher occupancy and deferred 
management fees accrued following the sale of the ORA.  
We have proven the success of this process at several 

08

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018sites throughout the country over the past five years with 
approximately 70% of our current care suites being 
conversions from older room configurations.  

Upon completion of our current brownfield development 
pipeline and site upgrades, approximately 62% of our 
aged care offering will be in premium rooms (sold as care 
suites or with a premium accommodation charge), with 
the balance operated as standard rooms under the 
traditional Government-funding model.

The portfolio review also identified a small number  
of facilities that were not suitable for upgrade or 
redevelopment, and hence do not fit within our future 
aged care plans.  These sites are currently in the process 
of being divested.

Delivering our new aged care redevelopments and 
repositioning the portfolio demonstrates a clear growth 
strategy in aged care, and as we embark on further 
executing this plan over the coming year we will be able 
to generate greater returns from this core competency.   

Our people

We are a large employer across multiple locations, and 
we are determined that we not lose sight of the personal 
significance of the work that we do with our residents on 
a 24~7 basis. As I meet with our staff they tell me “I was 
born to do this job”, “our work is incredibly special, you 
need to have a heart for it”, and “this is far more than 
a job, it’s a calling”. With this level of commitment and 
sheer passion for doing a good job, I know our staff will 
continue to deliver great service to our residents.

Our healthcare assistants received a well-deserved wage 
increase last year through the Government’s Equal Pay 
settlement and a significant shift took place in the 
workforce as numbers of staff at the highest level of 
qualification for this category of workers increased 
dramatically. We are providing career pathways to a 
higher number of staff than ever before with upskilling 
happening both through industry qualifications and our 
own Oceania learning and development programmes. 

We have also invested significantly in leadership training 
for our facility managers, clinical leaders and we will be 
rolling out a similar programme for other emerging 
leaders in the Company. I am a strong believer that when 
our staff are led well, they become more aligned to our 
vision and values, work together better in teams and 
enjoy greater results.

We also enhanced our health and safety training and 
support programmes across the country last year and in 
doing so halved our injury rates. Our staff know that we 
place a strong emphasis on safety and it is very pleasing 
to have achieved such significant strides forward.

Outlook

It is extremely satisfying to have delivered on our 
forecasts and be well on our way to executing our growth 
strategy. Our team is focused on delivering consistent 
year on year growth as we build, sell and operate great 
new facilities across the country. We currently have 
approximately seven years of development ahead of us 
on our brownfields pipeline, which represents a very 
tangible growth pathway, and a proven team to deliver 
results.

We are innovative and know our residents well. Our new 
care model will be transformational and our product 
world-class. I am excited for our future and look forward 
to continuing to produce outstanding results across all 
facets of our business next year.

Yours sincerely

Earl Gasparich 
Chief Executive Officer

ensure previous experience 
and customer preferences 
are incorporated.”

Experience & design

MARK STOCKTON, OCEANIA’S GENERAL MANAGER OF PROPERTY EXPLAINS HOW OUR 
DEVELOPMENTS ARE MANAGED FROM CONCEPTION THROUGH TO DELIVERY.–––––––

Our development approach is to take full ownership  
from conception through to after sales support.  
We have a multi disciplinary in-house development  
team who provide expert project management oversight 
of our developments. 

During the initial feasibility assessment of a new or 
brownfield site, the development team work alongside 
both the sales and operations teams to identify the 
market opportunity and to determine the ideal mix of 
retirement village accommodation and care services 
required to meet customer demand.

Once financial feasibility of the proposed development 
is determined and our Board have approved the 
opportunity, our in-house development team commences 
the resource consent application process, with advice and 
support from external consultants as required. We have 
an excellent track record of obtaining consents for 
brownfield sites close to residential areas because of our 
total ownership of the consenting process. 

Once resource consent has been obtained, the 
development team spend considerable effort refining  
the design with multiple stakeholders to ensure previous 
experience and the latest customer preferences are 
incorporated into the design. Input is sought from the 
sales and operations teams, in addition to existing 
residents, prospective residents and building contractors. 

This ensures that we “build it right first time”.

The procurement of a building contractor is a key 
milestone and we are careful to select a main contractor 
who we are confident will build a quality product, on 
time. Naturally cost is an important consideration, 
especially in the current construction market, but a key 
driver is also the contractor’s ability to always deliver on 
their commitment to us.

Once we have received final contractor pricing and 
quantity surveyor reports, our Board undertakes a rigorous 
assessment process before approving all projects.

Once the project is ready to go to site, the development 
team closely manage the contractor which includes their 
appointment and the administration of the contract. By 
controlling the contract and the specification we fully 
“own” each project. Again, we have a strong record of 
finishing projects on time and within budget with a 
significant amount of attention to all the detail, no matter 
how small.

Once the in-house development team is happy that a 
project is fully complete, snag free and of the highest 
quality, we work alongside the sales and operations team 
to ensure the incoming resident is completely happy with 
the finishes of their unit.

approach to care is 
making a real  
difference to the lives  
of its residents.”

New & improved

LIZ BURRETT, DAUGHTER OF MEADOWBANK CARE RESIDENT, RIE, EXPLAINS HOW OCEANIA’S UNIQUE 
APPROACH TO CARE HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE TO HER MUM’S QUALITY OF LIFE.–––––––

“Mum loved her apartment at Meadowbank Village and 
the warm community feel of the place, but as time went 
on she needed more and more help,” explains daughter 
Liz Burrett. “The staff in the village were so good and 
organised in-home help for her, but eventually she 
needed full-time support.”

In February Rie moved into a luxury care suite at 
Meadowbank Village where she receives rest home level 
care. Her care suite has all the mod cons and is like a 
smaller version of her apartment with its own lounge, 
kitchenette and bedroom. “It’s such a relief to know that 
Mum is getting the care she needs,” says Liz, “and if she 
ever needs hospital level care, she can get it in her care 
suite. She never has to worry about moving again.”

Liz says the move into Meadowbank care has made all 
the difference. “She’s so well looked after and she can 
still entertain in her suite or pop down to the cafe to 
meet her friends from the village.” Rie’s family and 
friends often catch up with her over a meal in the dining 
room. Close friend and former work colleague, Ian, jokes 
that the meals are so good, he plans his visits around 
lunch time!

Most importantly, Rie now has the support she needs to 
keep doing the things she loves. “Mum is a music lover,” 
says Liz. “Listening to her music really sparks her up.” 
Soon after she moved in, the Concierge Services team 
introduced Rie to Oceania’s “I Love Music”, a 
programme that provides her with a personalised music 
playlist loaded on an mp3 player so she can listen to her 
favourite music anytime she wants.

More recently her Leisure Coordinator, May Ann, 
organised tickets, transport and assistance for Rie and her 
friends to watch the RNZ Navy Band perform, and then 
there’s the fortnightly outings to the Celebration Choir at 
the Auckland University campus. “Rie loves singing along 
with the other people in audience,” says May Ann.

Rie and her family couldn’t be happier with the attentive 
and personalised care she receives. “It’s a good place to 
live” says Rie. “I’ve been very lucky.”

self-confidence grew and  
the sense of freedom  
and control that cycling  
gave them was clear.”

Connected & involved

RESIDENTS WANT TO STAY CONNECTED TO THE COMMUNITY THEY KNOW AND LOVE AND 
AS SHOWN HERE MANY AREN’T AFRAID TO GET OUT AND TRY SOMETHING NEW!–––––––

Helping our residents stay connected to their community 
is an important part of what we do at Oceania. Our staff 
recently spotted an opportunity to be involved with the 
Avantidrome “Wheels in Motion” community sessions in 
Cambridge.

Weekly visits to the Avantidrome became a highlight for  
a group of rest home residents who ranged in age from 
80 to 99 years. With the support and encouragement of 
our staff and the biking instructor, all took to riding their 
specially designed trikes with enthusiasm and some 
impressive dexterity.

This was more than just an opportunity to get some 
exercise. Cycling as a group and with other members of 
the community was a wonderful way to meet new people 
and bond over a shared experience. Each week the 
residents’ self-confidence grew and the sense of freedom 
and control that cycling gave them was clear.

Graeme, who has dementia, was a bit hesitant at the 
start, but with some gentle encouragement from his carer 
he pedalled as though he’d been doing it for years. 
“Graeme has led a very full life,” says his wife Kate. 
“He’s lost so much of himself to Alzheimers but he’s still 
able to get enjoyment out of each day. I can’t tell you 
how much that means to us as a family.”

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 May 2018

1.  General Information

1.1.  Basis of Preparation

(i)  Entities Reporting

The consolidated financial statements of the "Group" entity are for the economic entity comprising Oceania 
Healthcare Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, together "the Group". Refer to note 5.5 for details 
of Group structure.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of 
Oceania Healthcare Limited as at 31 May 2018  and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

The Group owns and operates various rest homes and retirement villages around New Zealand. The Group's 
registered office is Affinity House, 2 Hargreaves Street, St Mary's Bay, Auckland 1011, New Zealand.

(ii)  Statutory Base

Oceania Healthcare Limited is a limited liability company which is domiciled and incorporated in New Zealand. 
It is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC Reporting Entity in terms of Part 7 of the Financial 
Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is also listed on the NZX Main Board ("NZX") and the Australian 
Securities Exchange ("ASX") as a foreign exempt listing. The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the NZX and ASX listing rules, and Part 7 of the Financial 
Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally 
Accepted Accounting Practice ("NZ GAAP"). They comply with New Zealand equivalents to International 
Financial Reporting Standards ("NZ IFRS"), International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and other 
applicable New Zealand Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for for-profit entities. The Group is 
a Tier 1 for profit entity in accordance with XRB A1.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet has been prepared using a liquidity format.

(iii)  Measurement Basis

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, 
as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities, including investment properties, property, 
plant and equipment and interest rate swaps.

(iv)  Going Concern Assumption 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(v)  Key Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires the use of certain 
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise their judgement in the process of 
applying the Group’s accounting policies.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, 
by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated 
and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are 
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

34

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 20181.1.  Basis of Preparation (Continued)

The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and 
estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the following notes:

– Fair value of investment property and investment property under development (note 3.1) 

– Classification of accommodation with a care or service offering (notes 3.1 and 3.3) 

– Fair value of freehold land and buildings (note 3.3)

– Revenue recognition of deferred management fees (note 3.2)   

– Costs associated with the long term incentive plans (note 4.3) 

– Recognition of deferred tax (note 5.1) 

1.2.  Accounting Policies

Accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and which are relevant to 
understanding the consolidated financial statements are provided throughout the notes to these 
consolidated financial statements.

Other relevant policies are provided as follows:

(i)  Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is 
exposed to, 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. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 
control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

(ii)  Functional and Presentation Currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars which is the Company’s 
functional and the Group’s presentation currency. The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
round thousands.

(iii)  Goods and Services Tax ("GST")

The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Cash Flow Statement have been 
prepared so that all components are stated exclusive of GST. All items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are 
stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables, which include GST invoiced.

(iv)  Comparative Information 

Where a change has been made to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements to that used in 
prior periods, comparative figures have been restated accordingly. A change in presentation has been made 
to the income tax note to separately disclose the reconciliation of current tax and deferred tax to provide 
clearer disclosure to the reader. Refer to note 5.1. 

(v)  Measurement of Fair Value

The Group classifies its fair value measurement using the fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of 
the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels.

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

Level 2:   Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 

either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3:  Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The carrying amount of all financial assets and liabilities is considered to approximate to their fair value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
For the year ended 31 May 2018

2.  Operating Performance

2.1.  Operating Segments

The Group’s chief operating decision-maker is the Board of Directors.

The operating segments have been determined based on the information reviewed by the Board of Directors 
for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The assets and liabilities of the Group 
are reported to the chief operating decision-maker in total and are not allocated by operating segment.

Reporting Segment 

Description

Care Operations 

 Includes all revenue and facility-level expenses associated with the provision of care and 
related services to Oceania’s aged care and retirement village residents, including the 
deferred management fee ("DMF") and operating expenses associated with care suites.

Village Operations 

 The Group derives care fee revenue in respect of eligible Government subsidised aged 
care residents as well as private contributions from residents. Aged care subsidies 
received from the Ministry of Health, included in rest home, hospital and dementia fee 
revenue, amounted to $101.0m (2017: $96.9m).

 Includes the DMF on the Group’s retirement village units, weekly service fees, 
retirement village operating expenses, and, in respect of underlying measures, the 
realised gains on resales and the development margins from the sale of both units and 
care suites.

Other 

 Includes Support Office and corporate expenses and operating lease costs relating to 
the Group’s three leasehold sites. In addition, income and expenditure relating to the 
Wesley Training Institute is recognised in this segment.

There is a degree of integration between the care and village operations. This includes the provision of 
services such as meals and care packages by care operations to village residents.

Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included below. Amongst other criteria, 
performance is measured based on segmental underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and 
amortisation ("EBITDA"); being the most relevant measure in evaluating the performance of segments 
relative to other entities that operate within the aged care and retirement village industries. 

36

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018 
 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the year ended 31 May 2018

2.1.  Operating Segments (Continued)

Additional Segmental Reporting Information

Capital Expenditure: Refer to notes 3.1 and 3.3 for details on capital expenditure. Chattels, freehold land  
and buildings, including related property held for development, classified as property, plant and  
equipment principally relate to care operations. Investment property assets principally relate to village 
operations. Capital expenditure on intangibles and other property, plant and equipment are unallocated  
to these segments. 

Goodwill: Goodwill is allocated to care cash generating units. Refer to note 5.2 for further details.

Underlying Profit: Underlying profit is a non-GAAP measure used by the Group to monitor financial 
performance and determine dividend distributions. Underlying profit measures require a methodology and a 
number of estimations to be approved by Directors in their preparation. Both the methodology and the 
estimations may differ among companies in the retirement village sector that report underlying financial 
measures. Underlying profit is a measure of financial performance and does not represent business cash flow 
generated during the period.

Oceania calculates underlying profit by making the following adjustments to reported Net Profit After Tax:

–   Removing the change in fair value of investment properties (including right to use investment property 

assets) and any impairment or reversal of impairment of property, plant and equipment; 

–  Removing any impairment of goodwill;

–  Removing any loss on disposal of chattels from the decommissioning of development sites;

–  Removing any DMF income and rental expenditure in relation to right to use investment property assets;

–   Adding back the Directors’ estimate of realised gains on resale of occupation right agreement ("ORA") 

units and care suites1;

–   Adding back the Directors’ estimate of realised development margin on first sale of new ORA units or care 
suites following the development, or conversion of an existing care bed to a care suite or conversion of a 
rental unit to an ORA unit; and

–   Adding back the deferred taxation component of taxation expense so that only current tax expense 

is reflected.

Resale Gain

The Directors’ estimate of realised gains on resales of ORA units and care suites (i.e. the difference between 
the incoming resident’s ORA licence payment and the ORA licence payment previously received from the 
outgoing resident) is calculated as the net cash flow received, and receivable, at the point that the ORA 
contract becomes unconditional and has either "cooled off" or where the resident is in occupation at  
balance date.

In the 2017 financial year there were resale gains of $1.4m that related to units and care suites that had 
cooled off or were in occupation but had not completed cash settlement. In the 2017 financial year only 
resale gains for ORAs for which settlement in cash had occurred were recognised. In 2018, following a  
review of the Group’s revenue recognition criteria, ORA contracts that are unconditional and have either 
cooled off or were occupied have been included as this more accurately reflects the transfer of legal and 
economic benefits associated with these transactions.

1  Units and care suites sold under an occupation right agreement.

For the year ended 31 May 2018

2.1.  Operating Segments (Continued)

Development Margin

The Directors’ estimate of realised development margin is calculated as the cash received, and  
receivable, in relation to the first sale of new ORA units and care suites, at the point that the ORA contract 
becomes unconditional and has either "cooled off" or where the resident is in occupation at balance date, 
less the development costs associated with developing the ORA units and care suites. In the 2017 financial 
year there was realised development margin of $0.9m that related to units and care suites that had cooled off 
or were in occupation but had not completed cash settlement. In the 2017 financial year only realised 
development margin for ORAs for which settlement in cash had occurred were recognised. In 2018, following 
a review of the Group’s revenue recognition criteria, ORA contracts that are unconditional and have either 
cooled off or were occupied have been included as this more accurately reflects the transfer of legal and 
economic benefits associated with these transactions. 

The development costs include:

–   Construction costs directly attributable to the relevant project, including any required infrastructure  
(e.g. roading) and amenities related to the units (e.g. landscaping) as well as any demolition and site 
preparation costs associated with the project. The costs are apportioned between the ORA units and  
care suites, in aggregate, using estimates provided by the project quantity surveyor. The construction 
costs for the individual ORA units or care suites sold are determined on a pro rated basis using gross  
floor areas of the ORA units and care suites;

–   An apportionment of land value based on the gross floor area of the ORA units and care suites developed. 
The value for Brownfield2 development land is the estimated fair value of land at the time a change of use 
occurred3 (from operating as a care facility or retirement village to a development site), as assessed by an 
external independent valuer. Greenfield4 development land is valued at historical cost; and

–   Capitalised interest costs to the date of project completion apportioned using the gross floor area of ORA 

units and care suites developed.

Development costs do not include:

–   Construction, land (apportioned on a gross floor area basis) and interest costs associated with common 

areas and amenities or any operational or administrative areas.

The Directors’ estimate of development margin for conversions is calculated based on the difference 
between the ORA licence payment received, and receivable, in relation to sales of newly converted ORA 
units and care suites, at the point that the ORA contract becomes unconditional and either "cooled off" 
or where the resident is in occupation at balance date, and the associated conversion costs. Conversion 
costs comprise:

–   In the case of conversion of care beds to care suites, the actual refurbishment costs incurred; and

–   In the case of conversions of rental units to ORA units, the actual refurbishment costs incurred and the 

fair value of the rental unit prior to conversion.

2  Brownfield land refers to land previously utilised by, or part of, an operational aged care facility or retirement village.

3   The timing of a change of use is a Directors’ estimate. It is based on a range of factors including evidence of steps taken to secure a resource 
consent and/or building consent for a particular development or stage of a development and the decommissioning of existing operations 
(either through the buy-back of existing village ORA units or decommissioning of an existing care facility). Note the cost of buybacks is not 
included in the development cost as an independent fair value of the land on an unencumbered basis is used as the value ascribed to the 
development land.

4   Greenfield land refers to land not previously utilised by, or as part of, an operational aged care facility or retirement village. Greenfield land is 

typically bare (undeveloped) land at the time of purchase.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 20182.2.  Operating Revenue

Accounting Policy
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group 
and the amount can be measured reliably.

Deferred Management Fees
Deferred management fees are payable by residents of the Group's units, apartments and care suites under 
the terms of their ORA or unit title rights.

Management fees are typically payable up to a maximum percentage of a resident’s occupation licence or 
unit title rights deposit for the right to share in the use and enjoyment of common facilities.

The timing of the recognition of deferred management fees is a critical accounting estimate and judgement. 
The deferred management fee is recognised on a straight-line basis over the greater of the term specified in 
a resident’s ORA or the average expected occupancy for the relevant accommodation. This has been 
assessed as 7 years for units, 5 years for apartments and 3 years for care suites from the date of occupation. 
Estimates applied for deferred management fee tenure are reviewed periodically. Where a change in 
estimate is required, it is the Group’s policy to recognise the aggregate impact of this change in the period 
in which the change in estimate occurs.

Deferred management fees are recognised with respect to the leased site as per note 3.1.

Rest Home and Hospital Service Fees
Rest home and hospital service fees are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are 
rendered. Where applicable these are recognised net of any associated rebates to residents.

Village Service Fees
Village service fees are charged to residents to recover village operating costs. These fees are recognised 
as revenue when the associated services are provided to residents. 

Rental Income
Rental income is recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements.

3.1. 

Investment Property

Accounting Policy

Investment property includes both freehold land and buildings and land and buildings under development, 
comprising independent units, certain care suites, serviced apartments and common facilities, provided for 
use by residents under the terms of an ORA. Investment property is held for long-term yields and is not 
occupied by the Group and is held at fair value.

The fair value of investment property, including the right to use asset under a lease (Everil Orr), is determined 
by a qualified independent external valuer using a discounted cash flow model. As required by NZ IAS 40 
Investment Property, the fair value as determined by the independent valuer is adjusted for assets and 
liabilities already recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet which are also reflected in the discounted 
cash flow model. The movement in the carrying value of investment property, net of additions, transfers and 
disposals is recognised as a fair value movement in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Fair value measurement on property under development is only applied if the fair value is considered to be 
reliably measurable. Where the fair value of a property under development can be determined, it is carried 
at fair value. Where the fair value of investment property under development cannot be reliably determined, 
the value is considered to be the fair value of the land plus the cost of work undertaken.

The fair value of completed investment property is calculated every six months by CBRE Limited. 
CBRE Limited is an independent registered valuer and associate of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers and 
is appropriately qualified with experience of valuing retirement village properties in New Zealand. The fair 
value of completed investment property is based on an industry accepted valuation model applied to the 
expected future cash flows to derive a net present value. The valuation calculates the expected cash flows for 
a projected sequence of sales based on recycle profiling using a Monte Carlo simulation and a stabilised 
occupancy term for residents. The analysis includes significant unobservable inputs used to determine the 
fair value, as disclosed below.

As required by NZ IAS 40 Investment Property, the fair value as determined by the independent valuer is 
adjusted for assets and liabilities already recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet which are also 
reflected in the discounted cash flow model.

The CBRE Limited valuation is reviewed by management for accuracy of inputs and reasonableness 
of assumptions.

The Group's interest in all investment property was valued on 30 April 2018 by CBRE Limited (2017:  
31 May 2017 by CBRE Limited), at a total of $332.1m (2017: $252.7m). 

The CBRE Limited valuation has been adjusted by management for the impact of any sale, resale and 
repurchase of ORAs between 1 May 2018 and 31 May 2018 to arrive at the fair value of completed 
investment properties at 31 May 2018. The CBRE Limited valuation has been adjusted downward by 
management by $20.0m to reflect, amongst other things, the sale of unsold stock during the month of 
May 2018 to arrive at a 31 May 2018 valuation (2017: nil adjustment). This is a change from prior periods 
where the independent valuation was undertaken as at 31 May. 

The valuation of investment property is adjusted for cashflows relating to refundable occupation licence 
payments, residents’ share of resale gains and management fee receivable recognised separately on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet and also reflected in the valuation model. Refer below for a reconciliation.

Investment Property under Development

All land classified as under development was valued on 30 April 2018 by CBRE Limited (2017: 31 May 2017 by 
CBRE Limited). Management does not envisage a material movement in the land value between 30 April 
2018 and 31 May 2018 and therefore no adjustment has been made to this value. Any costs incurred to 31 
May 2018 on the developments are included in arriving at the 31 May 2018 fair value.

The Group has applied the following methodology in relation to the measurement of investment property 
under development:

Practical completion not achieved
Where the development still requires substantial work such that practical completion is not going to be 
achieved, and a reliable estimate of fair value cannot be made, at or close to balance date, the fair value 
recognised is the fair value of the development land per CBRE Limited valuation plus the cost of any work  
in progress. An amount of $31.1m as at 31 May 2018 (2017: $32.2m) has been recognised in relation to these 
development sites.

Where an individual development is of both investment property and freehold buildings in nature, the fair 
value of land and work in progress is apportioned between investment property under development and 
freehold land and buildings under development by applying the estimated gross floor area for these 
respective areas of the development based on information obtained from the project quantity surveyors at 
the planning and design stages.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
For the year ended 31 May 2018

3.1. 

Investment Property (Continued)

Practical completion achieved
Where a development is practically completed, or likely to be completed at, or close to, balance date the 
investment property is measured at its completed fair value as determined by CBRE Limited with an 
adjustment made for any estimated costs, in accordance with the project budget, to be incurred to complete 
the development, and is then transferred to completed investment property. 

Property Specific Assumptions

Seismic and Weather Tightness Assessments
The CBRE Limited valuation, and accordingly the fair value of investment property, incorporates an allowance 
in relation to remediation to properties where seismic strength testing has been carried out in prior years. 
The May 2017 valuation incorporated the estimated costs to address weather tightness at certain sites based 
on estimates provided in building condition reports completed by CoveKinloch New Zealand Limited in 
February 2017. Based on further investigation and updated project budgets the estimated remediation costs 
have reduced by $1.1m since 31 May 2017. Further, remediation costs totalling $1.1m (2017: $0.6m) have been 
incurred in the 2018 financial year. The forecast cost, as at 31 May 2018, to complete the remediation is $0.2m.

Land Acquisitions
Acquisitions of land are recognised as investment property under development at the point that the sale 
and purchase agreement is unconditional and risks, rewards and control have effectively passed to the 
Group. As at 31 May 2018, $10.7m (2017: nil) has been recognised with respect to three parcels of land which 
the Group has under agreement that were unconditional as at 31 May 2018. Deposits of $3.7m have been 
paid as at 31 May 2018 and a payable of $7.0m with respect to these parcels of land has been included in 
trade and other payables (see note 5.4). Per note 5.9, the final payment was made in relation to these 
properties in June and July 2018.

Lease of Investment Property
The Group leases one site, Everil Orr, which meets the definition of investment property. The facility 
comprises both apartments and common facilities provided for use by residents under the terms of an ORA. 
Payments to the lessor under this lease are made as ORAs are sold. Subsequent cash flows upon the sale and 
resale of the units are shared between the lessor and the Group. 

Due to the variability of these payments both the right to use asset and the corresponding lease liability were 
initially recognised at nil value. Rental payments are recognised as a rental expense through the 
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as incurred (note 2.4). The right to use asset is held at fair 
value in accordance with NZ IAS 40 Investment Property and has been valued by CBRE Limited at 30 April 
2018. The valuation has been adjusted by management for the impact of any sale of ORAs between 1 May 
2018 and 31 May 2018 to arrive at the fair value as at 31 May 2018 and any changes in fair value are taken to 
the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

The carrying value of the right to use asset as at 31 May 2018 in respect of this leased site is $7.7m (2017: nil) 
and is included as completed investment property above.

Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Introduction
All investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (2017: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy as 
the fair value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.   

Classification of Accommodation with a Care or Service Offering
Where services are provided to residents who occupy accommodation under an ORA, it is the Group’s policy 
to look at how consequential, or significant, these are in the context of the overall revenue/income derived 
from the accommodation in ascertaining whether the accommodation is freehold land and buildings 
(referred to as property, plant and equipment) or investment property. Whether the level of service provided 
is significant is an area of judgement.

It is the Group’s policy to, at each reporting date, review sites that provide accommodation that is subject to 
an ORA and also incorporates a provision to receive services on a case by case basis where this type of 
accommodation is significant in the context of the site’s overall capacity. 

46

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018The Group applies the following principles when ascertaining the appropriate accounting treatment to 
be applied:

Scenario 

Consideration of Significance of Cashflows 

Classification 

Additional Services are optional (whether 
or not the unit is certified for Aged Related 
Residential Care ("ARRC")).

Services are compulsory but an insignificant 
portion of total revenue from the unit.

Services are compulsory and a significant 
portion of the total revenue derived from  
the unit.

Full ARRC funded care is compulsory for 
that unit/bed.

Qualitatively the business model is the provision 
of retirement accommodation.

Investment 
property

Quantitatively insignificant (a guideline of under 
20% of total revenue is adopted) and qualitatively 
the business model is the provision of retirement 
accommodation.

Investment 
property

Quantitatively significant. Qualitatively the 
business model is the provision of care.

Property, plant 
and equipment

Qualitatively the business model is the provision 
of care. Quantitative assessment not relevant as 
price of accommodation (and therefore deferred 
management fee) does not change overall 
purpose of the accommodation.

The stabilised occupancy period is a key driver of the CBRE Limited valuation. A significant increase/
(decrease) in the occupancy period would result in a significantly lower/(higher) fair value measurement.

Current ingoing price, for subsequent resales of ORAs, is a key driver of the CBRE Limited valuation.  
A significant increase/(decrease) in the ingoing price would result in a significantly higher/(lower) fair  
value measurement.

The valuation of investment property is adjusted for cashflows relating to refundable occupation licence 
payments, residents’ share of resale gains and management fee receivable recognised separately on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet and also reflected in the valuation model. 

A reconciliation between the valuation and the amount recognised on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as 
investment property is as follows:

Where an incoming resident has an unconditional ORA in respect of a retirement village unit and the 
corresponding outgoing resident for that same accommodation has not yet been refunded, the CBRE Limited 
valuation is adjusted for the incoming resident balances only. An adjustment of $3.0m (2017: $0.2m) is included 
in the above reconciliation to reflect this.

Assets Held for Sale

Investment property assets are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered 
principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at their fair 
value. Refer note 3.3.

3.2.  Refundable Occupation Right Agreements

Accounting Policy

A new resident is charged a refundable occupation licence payment in consideration for the right to occupy 
one of the Group's units, apartments or care suites. The occupation licence payment becomes payable at 
such time as the ORA is unconditional and has either "cooled off" or where the resident is in occupation at 
balance date. On termination of the ORA the licence payment is repaid to the exiting resident. The Group 
has a legal right to set-off any amounts owing to the Group by a resident against that resident's licence 
payment. Such amounts include deferred management fees, recovery of village operating costs and recovery 
of outstanding obligations to the village. 

An amount equal to a capped percentage of the licence payment is charged by the Group as a management 
fee for the right to use and enjoy the common areas of the village. The deferred management fee is payable 
by the resident on termination of the ORA.

The management fee receivable is recognised in accordance with the terms of the resident’s ORA. 

The deferred management fee represents the difference between the management fees receivable under 
the ORA and the portion of the management fee accrued which is recognised on a straight-line basis over 
the greater of the term specified in a resident's ORA or the average expected occupancy for the relevant 
accommodation i.e. 7 years for units, 5 years for apartments and 3 years for care suites (2017: 7 years,  
5 years, 3 years). 

48

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018The management fee recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income represents 
income earned in line with the average expected occupancy.

Included in the obligation to residents is an estimate of the amount expected to be paid to those residents 
whose occupation licence or unit title right allows them to participate in the resale gain of the unit or 
apartment they occupy.

As the refundable occupation licence payment is repayable to the resident upon termination (subject to a 
new ORA being issued to an incoming resident), the fair value is equal to the face value, being the amount 
that can be demanded.

3.2.  Refundable Occupation Right Agreements (Continued)

Expected Maturity

Although the occupation licence payments are refundable to the residents on vacating the unit / apartment / 
care suite or on termination of the licence to occupy / unit title right (subject to new licences or unit title 
rights being issued), average occupancy is estimated to be 7 years for units, 5 years for apartments and 3 
years for care suites based on observed tenure at the Group’s villages. It is therefore not expected that the 
full obligation to residents will fall due within one year. 

Based on past experience the expected maturity of the net obligation to residents is as follows:

Property, plant and equipment comprises owner-occupied freehold land and buildings and plant and 
equipment operated by the Group for the provision of care services, certain care suites and land and 
buildings under development.

Following initial recognition at cost, completed owner occupied freehold land and buildings and land and 
buildings under development are carried at fair value. Independent valuations are performed with sufficient 
regularity (i.e. every two years) to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the assets 
fair value at the balance date. Any depreciation at the date of valuation is eliminated against the gross 
carrying value of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. In periods 
where no valuation is carried out, the asset is carried at its revalued amount plus any additions, less any 
impairment and less any depreciation incurred since the date of the last valuation. 

All other plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. Historical cost 
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

A property under construction is classified as land and buildings within property, plant and equipment where 
the completed development will be classified as such and as investment property where the completed 
development will be classified as an investment property. Fair value measurement on property under 
construction is only applied if the fair value is reliably measurable. Where the fair value of property under 
construction cannot be reliably determined the value is the fair value of the land plus the cost of work 
undertaken. Property under construction classified as land and buildings under development is revalued 
annually and is not depreciated.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as 
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the 
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed to 
the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the financial year in which they are incurred.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to asset revaluation 
reserves in shareholder’s equity; increases that offset previous decreases taken through the Consolidated 
Statement of Comprehensive Income are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive 
Income. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the asset revaluation 
reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive 
Income. When revalued assets are sold, or held for sale, the amounts included in reserves are transferred to 
retained earnings. 

50

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate 
their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Category

Freehold buildings

Chattels and leasehold improvements

Motor vehicles

Useful Life Range

10 - 50 years

2 - 50 years

5 years

Weighted Average 
Depreciation Rate

3%

20%

22%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date. 
No depreciation is charged in the year of sale for all assets other than buildings in which case depreciation  
is charged to earlier of the date of classification to held for sale or the date of sale.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying 
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the net disposal proceeds with the carrying 
amount of the asset. These are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018 
Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements

All land and buildings have been determined to be Level 3 (2017: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy as the fair 
value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.

Valuation Process and Key Inputs

Land and Buildings
Land and buildings are held at fair value. Independent valuation reports are obtained every two years, unless 
there is sustained market evidence of a significant change in fair value. Based on information available, the 
Directors have determined that there has been no material valuation movement in the period from 31 May 2017 
to 31 May 2018 with respect to freehold land and buildings with the exception of the newly completed care 
suites at the Meadowbank facility. No external valuation has been sought in relation to the 31 May 2018 
balance date except as it relates to the construction of care suites at Meadowbank. CBRE Limited have 
valued the care suites at the Meadowbank facility as at 30 April 2018. This valuation has been adjusted by 
management for the impact of sales of ORAs between 1 May 2018 and 31 May 2018 to arrive at the fair value 
of the completed Meadowbank facility. 

An independent valuation in respect of freehold land and buildings was undertaken in May 2017 by 
independent registered valuers CBRE Limited. CBRE Limited are appropriately qualified valuers with 
experience of valuing residential aged care and retirement village property in New Zealand. The 31 May 2017 
valuation of the Group's care facilities was apportioned to land, improvements, chattels and goodwill. The fair 
value of land and buildings as determined by CBRE Limited is based on the level of rent able to be generated 
from the maintainable net cash flow of the facility subject to average efficient management. The fair value of 
the Group's land and buildings is based on these apportionments. However chattels are carried at historic cost 
less depreciation and goodwill is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The 31 May 2017 
CBRE Limited valuation included $59.1m of goodwill. An additional $2.5m has arisen as at 30 April 2018 on 
valuation of the newly completed Meadowbank care suites that were transferred from land and buildings 
under development. This goodwill is not recognised in the consolidated financial statements. There is $16.8m 
(2017: $16.8m) of goodwill recognised on acquisition included in these consolidated financial statements as an 
intangible asset.

In arriving at fair value of freehold land and buildings as at 31 May 2018, the 31 May 2017 carrying amounts have 
been adjusted for the cost of any additions or work in progress incurred, less any disposals and depreciation 
recognised since 1 June 2017. An adjustment for reversal of previous impairment has been made as below.

The CBRE Limited valuation, and accordingly the fair value of freehold buildings, incorporates an allowance 
in relation to remediation to properties where seismic strength testing has been carried out in prior years. 
The CBRE Limited valuation as at 31 May 2017 incorporated the estimated costs to address weather tightness 
at certain sites based on building condition reports completed by CoveKinloch New Zealand Limited in 
February 2017. Following further investigation and updated project budgets the 31 May 2017 valuation has 
been adjusted by management for the reduction in the estimated costs of $1.7m since 31 May 2017 in 
arriving at the 31 May 2018 valuation. Further remediation costs totalling $2.8m (2017: $1.0m) have been 
incurred in the 2018 financial year. The forecast cost, as at 31 May 2018, to complete the remediation is $0.6m.

Where a decrease in land and buildings is recognised below original cost, this is recognised directly within 
the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Total net revaluation gains of $5.5m have been 
recognised in the current year in respect of land and buildings (2017: $13.0m gain). In the current year, a 
reversal of impairment of $1.1m (2017: impairment $4.3m) has been recognised in the Consolidated 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. The remaining gain of $4.4m (2017: $17.3m gain) has been recognised 
in the revaluation reserve together with deferred tax of $0.3m (2017: $1.2m decrease). Refer to note 5.1 for 
the tax effects of revaluation. 

Land and Buildings Under Development
When the Group undertakes development of a new site, the classification between freehold land and 
buildings and investment property is reviewed. For sites with a care facility, including those with care suites, 
these properties are classified as freehold land and buildings. For sites with a retirement village, the 
properties are classified as investment property. Refer to note 3.1 for further information, including the 
principles applied by the Group in determining the appropriate apportionment between freehold land, 
buildings and investment property.

The Group's land under development was revalued on 30 April 2018 (2017: 31 May 2017) by independent 
registered valuers CBRE Limited. CBRE Limited are appropriately qualified valuers with experience of valuing 
residential aged care and retirement village properties in New Zealand. This has been adjusted for any costs 
incurred to 31 May 2018 on the developments in arriving at the 31 May 2018 fair value.

3.3.  Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued)

Critical Judgements and Estimates in Applying Accounting Policies

(i) Classification of Care Suites
An area of significant judgement is determining the classification of those properties which are operated 
as care suites. Refer note 3.1 for further information.

(ii) Valuation of Freehold Land and Buildings
No external valuation has been obtained in respect of freehold land and buildings as at 31 May 2018. 
The valuation approach for the freehold land and buildings as at 31 May 2017 was an income capitalisation 
approach and/or discounted cash flow analysis supplemented by the direct comparison approach. 
The valuation is determined by the capitalisation of net cash flow profit/earnings before interest, tax, 
depreciation, amortisation and rent ("EBITDAR") under the assumption a positive cash flow will be generated 
into perpetuity. Capitalisation rates used for the 31 May 2017 valuation range from 10.0% to 18.5% with 
a median value of 13.5%. The valuation was apportioned between land, buildings, chattels / plant and 
equipment and goodwill to determine the fair value of the assets.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group's portfolio of land and 
buildings is the capitalisation rate applied to earnings. A significant decrease/(increase) in the capitalisation 
rate would result in significantly higher/(lower) fair value measurement.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale 
transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair 
value less costs to sell, except for investment property assets held for sale which are carried at fair value.

As at 31 May 2018, five facilities met the definition of held for sale. These facilities and their respective land, 
buildings, investment property and plant and equipment have been reclassified for reporting purposes and 
are held on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at current valuation which is the lower of their fair value less 
costs to sell and their carrying amount. The revaluation reserve totalling $3.7m in respect of the properties 
held for sale has been reclassified to retained earnings on reclassification of the properties.

On 27 January 2017, 13,712,002 ordinary shares were issued to Oceania Healthcare Holdings Limited 
("OHHL"), at $1.05 per share. This was to settle a loan from OHHL to Oceania Healthcare Limited of $13.4m, 
and its associated accrued interest, entered into by Oceania Healthcare Limited on 30 June 2016.

On 5 May 2017, Oceania Healthcare Limited issued 253,164,557 ordinary shares at $0.79 each by way of 
an Initial Public Offering ("IPO").

The Company incurred transaction costs of $11.9m, of which $10.7m was paid in the financial year to 31 May 
2017, in relation to the IPO. Of this, $7.5m related to the issue of new shares and was netted against new 
equity with the remaining balance expensed through the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

All ordinary shares are authorised and rank equally with one vote attached to each fully paid ordinary share. 
The shares have no par value.

Recognition and Measurement

None of the above issued shares are held by the Company or its subsidiaries with the exception of shares 
issued to OCA Employees Trustee Limited, a subsidiary, on behalf of Oceania employees in relation to a 
Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). 

The shares issued for the LTIP are classified as Treasury Shares as the Company has a beneficial interest in 
the shares until the vesting conditions are met. Refer note 4.3. 

Dividends

On 26 July 2018, a full year dividend of 2.6 cents per share (not imputed) was declared and will be paid on 
20 August 2018. The record date for entitlement is 13 August 2018 (31 May 2017: nil).

On 25 January 2018 an interim dividend of 2.1 cents per share (not imputed) was declared and subsequently 
paid on 20 February 2018.

4.3.  Employee Share Based Payments

(a) Long Term Incentive Plan 

The Company operates two LTIPs for certain members of the Senior Management Team ("the Participants"). 
The vesting of shares depends upon the satisfaction of performance hurdles.

The Group has provided interest free limited recourse loans to fund the acquisition of shares by the 
Participants. In substance the arrangement has been determined as an employee share option. The shares 
are treated as treasury stock when issued due to the features of the scheme.

Combined, the two schemes consist of 5,895,329 fully allocated shares, which represents 0.97% of the total 
shares on issue. Of these 3,164,556 are held by OCA Employees Trustee Limited on behalf of the Participants 
with the balance held directly by employees.

The 2,730,772 shares in the 2015 share plan were all fully vested as at 31 May 2018.

The 3,164,556 shares in the 2017 share plan vest on the business day after the consolidated financial 
statements for the 31 May 2020 financial year are released. The vesting criteria is a non-market earnings per 
share based performance hurdle being the achievement of a minimum Compound Annual Growth Rate of 
35.0% per annum in Underlying Earnings per Share over the three year period until 31 May 2020.

4.3.  Employee Share Based Payments (Continued)

The Participants are required to be employed by the Group at the vesting dates for the shares to vest. 

A valuation of the schemes as at the grant dates has been performed by a qualified independent party using a 
combination of the Black Scholes and Binomial Option Pricing models. The weighted average fair value of 
each option within the 2015 plan was determined at $0.089 at grant date and $0.143 for the 2017 plan. The 
expense is spread over the expected vesting period of the options and is recognised within retained earnings. 

During the year to 31 May 2018, the remaining 1,820,515 shares (or 66.66%) of the 2015 plan have vested 
(2017: 910,257 shares vested) and are held directly by employees, a portion of which are subject to escrow 
requirements. These shares were originally issued at $0.52 per share during the 2016 financial year.

Expected volatility was determined by assessing the historical volatility of comparable companies in 
New Zealand and Australia. 

As at 31 May 2018, it has been assumed that Participants will remain employed with the Group and that 
the earnings based performance hurdles will be met. Dividend assumptions are based on forecast dividend 
payments over the vesting period. Any dividend payments during the vesting period are applied to the 
outstanding balance of the loan.

The combined cost for the year is $0.1m (2017: $0.1m) giving a total cost to date of $0.3m (2017: $0.2m).

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 20184.4.  Borrowings

Accounting Policy

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, including transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) 
and the redemption amount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over 
the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying 
assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use 
or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such a time as the assets are substantially ready for their 
intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive 
Income in the period in which they are incurred.

(i) Bank Loans
Under the Group’s senior debt facilities prior to the IPO, interest on loans and advances was charged using 
the BKBM Bill rate plus a margin. Interest is now charged using the BKBM Bill rate plus a margin and line fees. 
Interest rates applicable in the year to 31 May 2018 ranged from 2.99% to 3.94% (2017: 3.61% to 5.97%).   

Contemporaneous with the IPO, the Group’s existing bank debt was refinanced. At this time new financing 
arrangements were entered into with a maturity date of 5 May 2020.

Debt Financing

On 6 July 2018 an agreement was entered into with the banking syndicate to increase total debt facility limits 
from $235m to $350m as follows:

(i)  General Corporate Facility limit increased to $135m (formerly $60m); and

(ii)  Development Facility limit increased to $215m (formerly $175m).

In addition to the above, the maturity of borrowings was extended to 31 July 2023.

The Group’s revolving Development Facility is utilised to cover costs associated with current development 
projects. The revolving General Corporate Facility is used for general corporate purposes as well as 
development land for projects not currently funded by the Development Facility.

Interest on the General Corporate Facility is typically payable quarterly. Interest on the Development Facility 
is capitalised and repaid together with principal using the ORA licence proceeds received upon settlement of 
initial sales of newly developed units and care suites. Line fees are payable quarterly on the committed 
General Corporate Facility and the Committed Development Facility.

The financial covenants in the Group's senior debt facilities, with which the Group must comply include:

a) Interest Cover Ratio – the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Interest Charges is not less than 2.0x; and

b)  Loan to Value Ratio – the ratio of total bank debt shall not exceed 50% of the total property value  
of all Group’s properties (including the "as-complete" valuations for projects funded under the 
Development Facility).

The covenants are tested half yearly. All covenants have been complied with during the year.

Assets Pledged as Security
The bank loans of the Group are secured by mortgages over the Group’s care facility freehold land and 
buildings and rank second behind the Statutory Supervisors where the land and buildings are classified as 
investment property and investment property under development. There was no material change to security 
arrangements as a result of the refinance.

(ii) Finance Lease
Finance lease liabilities relate to the lease of various equipment and motor vehicles and are effectively 
secured as the rights to the leased asset revert to the lessor in the event of default.

Income Tax

Accounting Policy

The tax expense or benefit for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 
calculation of profit for the year in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to 
the extent that it relates to items recognised in Other Comprehensive Income. In this case the tax is also 
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the year end. 
The Directors periodically evaluate positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which 
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation.

Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the 
tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. 
However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability 
in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have 
been enacted or substantially enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply when the 
related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will 
be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Key Accounting Judgements

(i) Deferred Tax on Investment Property

Deferred tax on investment property is assessed on the basis that the asset value will be realised through use 
("Held for Use").  

An initial recognition exemption has been applied to newly developed village sites in accordance with NZ IAS 12.

The Group’s ORAs comprises two gross cash flows (being an ORA deposit upon entering the unit and the 
refund of this deposit upon exit). In determining the tax base of investment property, the Group considered 
whether taxable cash flows are received at the end of the ORA period (i.e. upon refund of the ORA deposit 
by way of set off on exit by a resident) or at the beginning of the ORA period (i.e. at time of the receipt of the 
ORA deposit). The Group has carefully evaluated all the available information and considers it appropriate to 
recognise and measure the tax base and associated deferred tax based on the taxable cash flows being 
receivable at the end of the ORA period as this best represents the Group’s contractual entitlement.

In calculating deferred tax under the Held for Use methodology, the Group has made significant judgements 
to determine taxable temporary differences. The carrying value of the Group’s investment property is 
determined on a discounted cash flow basis and includes cash flows that are both taxable and non-taxable in 
the future. The Group has recognised deferred tax on the cash flows with a future tax consequence being 
DMF as provided by CBRE Limited, to the extent that it arises from depreciable components (i.e. buildings) 
of the investment property. The Group uses the council rateable valuations to estimate the apportionment of 
cash flows arising from the depreciable (i.e. buildings) and non-depreciable components (i.e. land).

Contractually, management fees are received upon refund of the ORA deposit by way of set off on exit of a 
unit by a resident.

Should the taxable cash flows of investment property be treated as received at the beginning of the ORA 
period, an additional deferred tax liability of $3.7m would be recognised on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  
An additional current year tax expense of $3.7m and a corresponding reduction in net profit after tax of 
$3.7m would also be recognised (2017: $3.1m).

Income Tax (Continued)

(ii) Recognition of Tax Losses

Up until 31 May 2015 the Company and its subsidiaries were members of a tax consolidated group together 
with the Company’s parent company, OHHL. The issuance of shares to the executive members participating 
in the long term incentive scheme in November 2015 triggered the Company and its subsidiaries’ exit from 
the tax consolidated group as the Company, and its subsidiaries, no longer met the tax consolidated group 
eligibility criteria of being in a wholly-owned group. The impact of this is that all tax losses incurred by the 
Company and its subsidiaries until 31 May 2015 remain within the tax consolidated group (of which OHHL is 
the sole member). 

After completing the IPO in May 2017 and following consideration of the Group’s capital structure and 
profitability forecasts, the Directors considered it appropriate to recognise a portion of the Group’s available 
tax losses to the extent that these were expected to be utilised before any breach of shareholding continuity, 
from a change in shareholding or other means of restructure, in accordance with NZ IAS 12. As the shares 
held by OHHL are escrowed to the date of the market announcement of the 2018 financial year result, $2.3m 
(tax effect) of tax losses were recognised as at 31 May 2017 based on the Group’s forecast taxable profit until 
31 May 2018.

The Group entered into a tax loss offset agreement with its parent company, OHHL, to offset the taxable 
income generated by Oceania Village Company Limited ("OVCL"), a subsidiary of the Company, for the year 
ended 31 May 2017 for $28.7m. Following the loss offset of the OVCL taxable income with OHHL losses, and 
losses generated in the May 2018 year, the Group will have $64.6m (31 May 2017: $42.5m) of available tax 
losses at 31 May 2018.  

As the timeframe for any breach of shareholder continuity beyond the aforementioned escrow period is 
uncertain no tax losses have been recognised as at 31 May 2018. 

(iii) Recognition of Deferred Management Fee         

The interpretation of NZ tax laws in relation to deferred management fees involves significant judgements 
and uncertainty. Deferred management fees are currently recognised for tax purposes consistent with 
the Group’s revenue recognition policy. Consequently no deferred tax is recognised (refer note 2.2). 

The Inland Revenue is currently disputing the tax treatment adopted by the Group in relation to deferred 
management fees and a Notice of Proposed Adjustment in respect of the 2016 income year was received 
on 13 March 2018.  

The Group believes the tax treatment adopted is correct and is defending its position. Should the Inland 
Revenue be successful in its claim in relation to the 2016 income year this would initially result in the 
recognition of a tax liability of approximately $5.4m which would be fully met by the application of losses. 
A corresponding recognition of an equal and opposite deferred tax asset of approximately $5.4m would 
also be recognised at this time.

The dispute is currently limited to the 2016 income year however if the Commissioner is successful and 
requires application to the 31 May 2017 and 31 May 2018 periods, a corresponding deferred tax asset 
of $6.1m would be recognised. Further, $21.9m of the $64.6m of available tax losses would be utilised.

Intangible Assets 

Accounting Policy

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net 
identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary or business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised.  
Instead, goodwill is reviewed for indicators of impairment at 30 November and tested for impairment at 31 May, 
and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity or cash 
generating unit ("CGU") include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity or CGU sold. Goodwill 
is allocated to CGUs and these CGUs are grouped where appropriate for the purpose of impairment testing. 
The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business 
combination in which the goodwill arose.

Computer Software

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as 
incurred.  Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire 
and bring to use the specified software. These costs are amortised on a straight line basis over their 
estimated useful lives (2.5 years).

Intangible Assets (Continued)

Impairment Test for Goodwill

The carrying value of goodwill has been assessed on a site by site basis taking into account the site's results 
as a whole for both the care and village CGUs.

The carrying amount of goodwill at each site is not significant in comparison to the total amount of goodwill.  
All goodwill is allocated to the care CGUs.

Key Judgements in Applying the Accounting Policies

Care CGUs Recoverable Amount

The recoverable amount of the individual care sites has been determined based on an external valuation of 
fair value less costs to sell by CBRE Limited as an external valuer. The fair value less costs to sell is considered 
level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. This has been used for comparison to current carrying value. 
The assumptions used in determining the fair value for care facilities are disclosed in note 3.3. 

Reasonable possible movements in the capitalisation rates have been considered to have no material impact 
on the carrying value of goodwill.

5.3.  Trade and Other Receivables

Accounting Policy

Trade receivables are amounts due from residents and various government agencies in the ordinary course 
of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently 
measured at amortised cost, less a provision for impairment.

Occupation licence payment receivables are recognised at the point in time that an ORA becomes 
unconditional and has either "cooled off" or where the resident is in occupation, and the resident has not yet 
made all of the contractual licence payment to the Group.

Recognition, Measurement and Critical Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an on-going basis. Debts which are known to be 
uncollectible are written off to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within other 
expenses. A provision for doubtful receivables is established where there is objective evidence that the 
Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. In making 
this judgement, significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy 
or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade 
receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount 
and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate.

When a trade receivable is uncollectable it is written off against the provision for trade receivables. 
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the 
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

There is no significant concentration of credit risk as trade receivables relate to individual residents and 
government agencies.

5.4.  Trade and Other Payables

Accounting Policy

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the 
end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days 
of recognition.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Sundry payables include $0.1m (2017: $0.1m) relating to cash held on behalf of residents and $7.0m in 
relation to the purchase of land (2017: nil) per note 3.1. 

Settlement payments in respect of unconditional land purchases were made post 31 May 2018 per notes 
3.1 and 5.9.

Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave are recognised in other 
payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

The liability for employee entitlements is carried at the present value of the estimated future cash flow. 

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the 
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to 
the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of 
employee departures and periods of service.

5.6.  Financial Risk Management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including cash flow interest rate 
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the 
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial 
performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap 
contracts to hedge certain interest rate risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging 
purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure 
different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest 
rates to determine market risk and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out centrally by management under policies approved by the Board of 
Directors. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering 
specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative 
financial instruments.

(a)  Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as interest rates will affect the Group’s income. 
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable 
parameters, while optimising the return on risk. 

(b)  Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk

The Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, as such the Group's income is substantially independent 
of changes in market interest rates.

The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose 
the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The cash flow and interest rate risks are monitored by the Board on 
a monthly basis. The Board monitors the existing interest rate profile with reference to the Group’s Treasury 
Policy and the Group’s underlying interest rate exposure. Management present interest rate hedging analysis 
and strategies to the Board for consideration and seek Board approval prior to entering into any interest 
rate swaps.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed by seeking to obtain the most competitive rate of 
interest at all times. It is the Group's policy to manage the cash flow interest rate risk through the use of 
interest rate swaps to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate long term debt. 
The objective of the interest rate swaps is to protect the Group from the short to medium term impact to 
cash flows which arises out of variability in floating interest rates.  

Interest rate swaps are initially recognised at fair value on the date a contract is entered into and are 
subsequently measured at fair value on each reporting date. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are 
determined based on cash flows discounted to present value using current market interest rates. 

When interest rate swaps meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of the gain 
or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, while the ineffective 
portion is recognised in other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Amounts 
taken to reserves are transferred out of reserves and included in the measurement of the hedged transaction 
when the forecast transaction occurs. When interest rate swaps do not meet the criteria for cash flow hedge 
accounting, all movements in fair value of the hedging instruments are recognised in the Consolidated 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Group has a right to receive interest at variable rates and an 
obligation to pay interest at fixed rates. At 31 May 2018, the Group had interest rate swap agreements in 
place with a total notional principal amount of $100.0m (2017: $100.0m). Of the interest rate swaps in place, 
at 31 May 2018, $100.0m (2017: $100.0m) are being used to cover approximately 61% (2017: 111%) of the loan 
principal outstanding. These agreements effectively change the Group’s interest exposure on the principal 
covered by the interest rate swaps from a floating rate to fixed rate. Bank loans of the Group currently bear 
an average fixed interest rate (including margin and line fees) of 4.1% (2017: 4.1%). The fair value of these 
agreements at 31 May 2018 is $0.3m liability. The agreements cover notional amounts for a term of 12 months.

The notional principal amounts and the period of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts are as follows:

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018(c)  Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks 
and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure from trade and other receivables.

In the normal course of business, the Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group 
requires settlement of the ORA before allowing occupation of its villas or apartments. Therefore, the Group 
does not face significant credit risk. The values attached to each financial asset in the Consolidated Balance 
Sheet represent the maximum credit risk. Except as disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, no 
collateral is held with respect to any financial assets. The Group enters into financial instruments with various 
counterparties in accordance with established limits as to credit rating and dollar limits and does not require 
collateral or other security to support the financial instruments.

Concentrations

Cash and cash equivalents of the Group are deposited with one of the major trading banks.  
Non-performance of obligations by the bank is not expected due to the credit rating of the counter party 
considered. The Standard and Poors credit rating of the counter party as at 31 May 2018 is AA- (2017: AA-).

The Group’s receivables represent distinct trading relationships with each of the residents. There are no 
concentrations of credit risk with residents. The only large receivables relate to the residential care subsidies 
which are received in aggregate via the various District Health Boards and Work and Income New Zealand.  
Neither of these entities has demonstrated, or is considered, a credit risk.

(d)  Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the 
availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close-out 
market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Directors aim at maintaining 
flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. 

Cash flow forecasting is regularly performed by management. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the 
Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, while maintaining 
headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach 
borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration 
the Group's debt financing plans and covenant compliance.

The table below shows the maturity analysis of the Group's contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(e)  Capital Risk Management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going 
concern to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal 
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going 
concern basis.

 New Accounting Standards

(a)  New and amended standards adopted by the Group

In the current year, the Group adopted all mandatory new and amended standards and interpretations.

(b) 

 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective 
and have not been early adopted by the Group

The following relevant standards have not been early adopted by the Group but are to be adopted from 
1 June 2018 and 1 June 2019 as appropriate which are the Group’s mandatory adoption dates.

NZ IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9) (effective for the Group from 1 June 2018)

NZ IFRS 9 addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial 
liabilities, the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. The Group’s initial assessment did not 
highlight any significant impacts on the consolidated financial statements. 

In summary:

(i) 

 Classification and measurement – The standard requires financial assets to be classified into two 
measurement categories: those measured as at fair value and those measured at amortised cost. 
The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity's business 
model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the 
instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement (NZ IAS 39) requirements. Trade receivables are amounts due from 
residents and various government agencies held to collect contractual cash flows in the ordinary 
course of business. These balances shall continue to be held at amortised cost less a provision for 
impairment.

(ii)   Impairment – The standard introduces the expected credit loss model for impairment of 

financial assets which replaces the incurred loss model used in NZ IAS 39. Application of the  
NZ IFRS 9 impairment model is expected to have minimal impact given the Group’s credit risk 
management policies.

(iii)   Hedge accounting – The standard amends the rules on hedge accounting to align the accounting 
treatment with the risk management practices of the reporting entity. Existing hedge relationships 
would appear to qualify as continuing hedge relationships on adoption of the new standard. 

NZ IFRS 9 will require several new disclosures with respect to hedge accounting, credit risk and expected 
credit losses. The Group is currently working through the disclosure requirements which shall be required for 
the 30 November 2018 and 31 May 2019 consolidated financial statements onwards.

NZ IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers (NZ IFRS 15) (effective for the Group from  
1 June 2018)

NZ IFRS 15 addresses recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. It replaces the current revenue 
recognition guidance in NZ IAS 18 Revenue and NZ IAS 11 Construction Contracts and is applicable to all 
entities with revenue.

The standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good and service 
transfers to a customer and establishes principles for reporting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of 
revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers and requires application of a 5-step 
process to:

a) 

Identify the contract with the customer;

b)  Identify performance obligations;

c)  Determine transaction price;

d)   Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations based on standalone selling prices; 

and 

e)  Recognise revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

72

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Group has reviewed the impact of NZ IFRS 15 and note the following in relation to the main 
revenue streams:

(i) 

 Deferred management fees – A contract is in place with all village residents by means of an ORA.  
The resident receives the benefit as they occupy the accommodation with a right to share in the use 
and enjoyment of common facilities. The deferred management fee is recognised on a straight-line 
basis over the greater of the term specified in a resident’s ORA or the average expected occupancy 
for the relevant accommodation.

(ii)   Rest home, hospital and dementia fees – A contract is in place with all care residents by means of an 
admission agreement. The resident receives the benefit as the daily care is administered and each 
resident incurs an agreed upon contracted daily care fee. Rest home, hospital and dementia service 
fees are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered and are specifically 
linked to the day the service is delivered.

(iii)   Village service fees – Village service fees are charged to residents to recover village operating costs.  
A contract is in place with all village residents by means of an ORA. The resident receives the benefit 
as they occupy the accommodation and have a contracted agreed weekly fee. Village service fees 
are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered and are specifically 
linked to the service delivered.

(iv)   Rental income – Contracts are in place with all rental residents in the form of rental agreements 

which detail the relevant weekly / monthly rental fee. The resident receives the benefit as they 
occupy the accommodation. 

The Group’s initial assessment of NZ IFRS 15 is that the Group will continue to recognise management fees 
on a straight-line basis and each of care fees, village service fees and rental income in line with the date that 
the service is rendered. The above represent the main revenue streams of the Group. It is noted that the  
level of disclosure in relation to revenue will increase because of the adoption of NZ IFRS 15. The Group is 
currently working through the disclosure requirements which shall be required for the 30 November 2018 
and 31 May 2019 consolidated financial statements onwards.

NZ IFRS 16, Leases (effective for the Group from 1 June 2019) 

NZ IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.  
The objective of the standard is to ensure that lessees and lessors provide relevant information in a manner 
that faithfully represents those transactions.

The standard requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability on the balance sheet reflecting the future lease 
payments and a right-of-use asset for all lease contracts except those which are of low value or short term. 
This standard will affect primarily the accounting of the Group’s operating leases. As at 31 May 2018 the 
Group had non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $14.6m (refer note 5.8). Many of the Group’s 
leases relate to leases of low value assets however the Group currently leases three care facility sites and the 
impact of recognising these properties on balance sheet will be material to the Group.

The Group is currently reviewing the impact of NZ IFRS 16. To date, work has focused on the identification 
and understanding of the provisions of the standard which will most impact the Group, establishing the 
population of lease contracts which will extend beyond 1 June 2019, discount rate determination and the 
review of system requirements. A lease management system has been selected and the Group is currently  
in the process of loading lease information.

Some of the operating leases currently held expire prior to the implementation of the standard. As such 
the Group has not finalised its quantification of the effect of the new standard, however the following impacts 
are expected:

a) 

 The straight-line operating lease expense will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the right 
of use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities;

b)   The repayment of the principal portion of all lease liabilities will be classified as financing activities; 

and

c) 

 The Consolidated Balance Sheet will be impacted by the recognition of right to use assets and 
corresponding lease liabilities.

The adoption of NZ IFRS 16 will have no cash effect to the Group and the change is for financial reporting 
purposes only. NZ IFRS 16 is expected to be the most significant of the new standards in terms of impact to 
the Group and therefore the Group has chosen to not early adopt the standard to allow further time to fully 
understand the impact and determine which transition approach to apply.

 Contingencies and Commitments

(a)  Contingencies

As at 31 May 2018, the Group had no contingent liabilities or assets (2017: nil).

(b)  Capital Commitments

At 31 May 2018, the Group has a number of commitments to develop and construct certain facilities totalling 
$104.6m (2017: $41.6m) of which $104.1m (2017: $39.5m) relates to development sites.

At 31 May 2018, the Group is committed to acquiring a number of small parcels of land totalling $14.3m.

(c)  Lease Commitments

Finance Leases
Leases where the Group has substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership are classified as finance 
leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased 
property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. See note 4.4.

Lease of Investment Property
On 28 October 2015, subsidiaries of the Group entered into an agreement with a third party to develop 
Everil Orr, an existing leasehold care site. The site will continue to operate as a leasehold care site and the 
Group will also perform village operations. Stage one of the village development was completed in February 
2018 and a right to use asset recorded. See note 3.1 for further details. A commitment of $17.7m in relation to 
Stage One of the development in the form of future lease payments exists.

Operating Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are 
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from 
the lessor) are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over 
the period of the lease.

Commitments in relation to operating leases are payable as follows:

Commentary
Income was $36.6m ahead of the IPO forecast for the year ended 31 May 2018 due to a larger increase in the 
fair value of investment property ("IP") than forecast ($28.0m). This was due to higher ingoing prices achieved 
than forecast. Operating revenue (including other income) of $184.0m was $8.7m higher than forecast (for 
presentation purposes other income was aggregated with operating revenue for the IPO forecasts).

The IPO forecast assumed a net nil impact on profit from the settlement of the "equal pay" negotiations as 
both the timing and quantum of the impact on income and expenses was uncertain. As the settlement took 
effect from 1 July 2017, the actual income in 2018 reflects a full year of the increase in income associated with 
the settlement.  

Expenses were $18.8m above the IPO forecast due to the increase in Healthcare Assistant wages from the 
"equal pay settlement" and the rental expense associated with the right to use IP (reflected in other 
expenses). 

As outlined above the effects of the "equal pay settlement" were not explicitly included in the forecast 
expenses in the IPO forecast.

Tax expense was $6.1m below the IPO forecast due to reductions in the deferred tax liabilities relating  
to both IP and property, plant and equipment ("PPE"). This was forecast to increase in the IPO forecast.

Commentary
Cash was $14.5m above the IPO forecast due to the timing of the repayment of the development debt facility 
from sales of new units and care suites (being the 20th of the following month) rather than contemporaneously, 
as modelled in the IPO forecast. Trade and other receivables was $21.0m above the IPO forecast as sales 
receipts for new ORAs were also modelled to occur on the ORAs becoming unconditional in the IPO forecast. 
The impact of this was $17.2m.

For the purposes of the modelling of the fair value of PPE and IP for the IPO forecast, all PPE under 
development was aggregated with IP under development. Consequently the variation to the IPO forecast for 
the PPE and IP balances is most appropriately considered collectively i.e. $1,059.1m (actual) compared to 
$997.5m (forecast). As outlined above the variance principally relates to the acquisition of new land and the 
revaluation of IP. The IPO forecast did not envisage any assets held for sale.

Actual trade payables as at 31 May 2018 were higher than the IPO forecast as the actual balance includes the 
residual amounts required to settle land purchases that were not factored into the IPO forecast. 

The IPO forecast also aggregated the deferred management fee and refundable occupation right 
agreements consistent with the presentation of the 31 May 2016 consolidated financial statements. On a 
consolidated basis the actual balance as at 31 May 2018 of $380.1m is in line with that forecast of $373.7m.

Borrowings of $168.7m was higher than the IPO forecast ($130.8m) principally due to the acquisitions of new 
land made during the 2018 financial year that were not contemplated in the IPO forecast.

Commentary
Operating cashflow was below the IPO forecast due to higher payments to suppliers and lower net receipts 
from ORAs. Interest paid was lower as development related interest was modelled as "cash-paid" in the IPO 
forecast whereas in practice this is capitalised to the projects and repaid on sale of the units and beds.

As outlined above payments for PPE and IP were estimated in aggregate for the purposes of the IPO  
forecast. The combined variance of $23.8m in net cash flow from investing activities is due to the effect  
of the aforementioned land acquisitions and a variance in development capital expenditure which 
was modelled on a "straight line" basis for the IPO forecast with expenditure apportioned equally  
over the construction period.

The net cash flow from financing activities differs from the IPO forecast due to the land acquisitions made 
and the variance in the actual timing of the repayment of development debt compared to the way this was 
modelled for the IPO forecast.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018  
Our audit approach 

Overview 

An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated 
financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

Overall Group materiality: $1.8 million, which represents approximately 1% of 
operating revenue. 

We chose operating revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, it is a key 
financial metric used in assessing the performance of the Group and is not as 
volatile as other profit or loss measures. 

We have determined that there are three key audit matters: 
•

Valuation of investment property

•

Valuation of freehold land and buildings

• Deferred tax on investment property

Materiality 
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. 
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, 
including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out 
above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, 
the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both 
individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. 

Audit scope 
We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial 
statements and our application of materiality. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of 
management override of internal controls including among other matters, consideration of whether 
there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. 
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an 
opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the 
Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates. 

Key audit matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in 
the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our 
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

81

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)
To the shareholders of Oceania Healthcare Limited

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Valuation of investment property 
As disclosed in note 3.1 of the consolidated 
financial statements, the Group’s 
investment property portfolio at $756 
million represents the largest asset as at  
31 May 2018. 

The fair value of investment property is 
calculated every six months by CBRE 
Limited (the Valuer), an independent 
registered valuer. 

Investment property is recorded in the 
consolidated financial statements at the 
value determined by the Valuer as at 
30 April 2018, adjusted by management 
for the impact of any sale, resale and 
repurchase of Occupation Right 
Agreements (ORA) between the date 
of the valuation and 31 May 2018.  

For each investment property, assumptions 
and estimates are made in respect of: 
•

discount rate;

•

•

property price growth rate; and

stabilised occupancy periods.

The valuation is also adjusted for 
refundable occupation licence payments, 
residents’ share of resale gains and 
management fees receivable which are 
recognised separately on the consolidated 
balance sheet and also reflected in the 
Valuer’s cash flow model. 

The valuation of the Group’s property 
portfolio is inherently subjective. The 
existence of significant estimation 
uncertainty, coupled with the fact that 
only a small percentage difference in 
assumptions on individual properties, 
when aggregated, could result in material 
differences, is why we have given specific 
audit focus and attention to this area. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 
External valuations 
We read the valuation report and discussed the report 
with the Valuer. We assessed the valuation approach 
for the right to use and investment property assets 
(together referred to as investment property or 
properties in this section) with reference to the relevant 
accounting standards. 

From our discussions with management and the 
Valuer, and from our review of the valuation report, 
assumptions (including the discount rate, property 
price growth rate and stabilised occupancy periods) 
were made to reflect each property’s individual 
characteristics, its overall quality, geographic location 
and desirability as a whole. 

On a sample basis, we tested whether property specific 
information supplied to the Valuer by the Group 
reflected the underlying property records held by 
the Group. 

Assumptions and estimates 
Our work over the assumptions focused on the largest 
properties in the portfolio and those properties where 
the assumptions (including the discount rate, property 
price growth rate and stabilised occupancy periods) used 
and/or year-on-year fair value movement suggested a 
possible outlier compared to the rest of the portfolio 
and the market data for the sector. 

We engaged our in-house valuation expert to challenge 
the work performed by the Valuer and assess the 
reasonableness of the assumptions used based on his 
knowledge gained from reviewing valuations of similar 
properties, known transactions and available market 
data. 

Valuation estimates 
Because of the subjectivity involved in determining 
valuations for individual properties and the existence of 
alternative assumptions and valuation methods, there is 
a range of values which can be considered reasonable 
when evaluating the independent property valuations 
used by the Group. If we identify an error in a property 
valuation or determine that the valuation is outside of a 
reasonable range, we evaluate the error or difference to 
determine if there is a material misstatement in the 
consolidated financial statements. 

82

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Valuation adjustments 
We tested, on a sample basis, the transactions 
representing the adjustments made to the valuations as 
at 30 April 2018 as determined by the Valuer for the 
impact of sales, resales and repurchases of ORAs 
between the date of the valuation and 31 May 2018. 
We checked that the adjustments to the valuation for 
refundable occupation licence payments, residents share 
of resale gains and management fees receivable 
reconciled to the corresponding amounts recognised 
separately on the consolidated balance sheet. We also 
considered whether there were any events subsequent 
to the date of the Valuer’s report which may have 
caused the valuations of investment properties to be 
materially different to those determined by the Valuer. 

83

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)
To the shareholders of Oceania Healthcare Limited

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Our audit procedures focused on the appropriateness of 
the Directors’ assessment that the carrying values of 
freehold land and buildings as at 31 May 2018 were 
materially consistent with their fair values. 

We evaluated, together with our in-house valuation 
expert, the analysis prepared by management in 
supporting their assessment of whether there have been 
any significant changes to the assumptions used in the 
last external valuation as 31 May 2017 that would lead to 
the carrying values of freehold land and buildings as at 
31 May 2018 being materially different to their fair 
values. 

We tested, on a sample basis, the validity of additions to 
freehold land and buildings and the reasonableness of 
depreciation charged since the date of the last external 
valuation. Apart from the movement caused by 
additions and depreciation, we reviewed management’s 
assessment of the relevant assumptions, supporting that 
the carrying values of freehold land and buildings 
materially represented their fair value as at 31 May 
2018. 

For freehold land and buildings comprising the newly 
completed care suites at the Meadowbank facility, the 
Valuer has carried out a valuation in the current year. 
We considered management’s assessment that there 
were no changes in the assumptions that would cause 
the value as at 31 May 2018 to materially differ from the 
30 April 2018 adopted value as determined by the 
Valuer. Our audit procedures and conclusions in relation 
to the current year valuations performed by the Valuer 
are set out in the preceding key audit matter. 

Valuation of freehold land and 
buildings 
As disclosed in note 3.3 of the consolidated 
financial statements, the Group’s freehold 
land and buildings were valued at $245 
million as at 31 May 2018. 

The valuations of individual properties are 
carried out by an independent registered 
valuer, CBRE Limited (the Valuer), every 
two years unless there is sustained market 
evidence of a significant change in fair 
value. An independent valuation was 
conducted by CBRE Limited at 31 May 
2017 and the Directors have determined 
that there has been no material valuation 
movement in the period to 31 May 2018 
with respect to freehold land and buildings, 
with the exception of the newly completed 
care suites at the Meadowbank facility. 
Apart from the newly completed care suites 
at the Meadowbank facility, no external 
valuation has been sought in relation to the 
31 May 2018 balance date. 

In arriving at fair value of freehold land 
and buildings as at 31 May 2018, the 31 
May 2017 carrying amounts have been 
adjusted for the cost of any additions or 
work in progress incurred, less any 
disposals and depreciation recognised 
since 1 June 2017. 

Due to the significant judgement exercised 
by the Directors in determining that the 
carrying values of freehold land and 
buildings do not differ materially from 
their fair values as at 31 May 2017 and that 
no independent valuation was required in 
the current year apart from the newly 
completed care suites at the Meadowbank 
facility, we have given specific audit focus 
and attention to this area. 

84

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Deferred tax on investment property 
As disclosed in note 5.1 of the consolidated 
financial statements, the Group assesses 
deferred tax on investment property on the 
basis that the asset value will be realised 
through use (‘Held for Use’). 

In applying the Held for Use methodology, 
the Group makes three key assumptions 
which involve significant judgement: 

1. Determining the amount of taxable

cash flows;

2. Timing of taxable cash flows, being at
the end of the Occupation Right
Agreement (ORA) period; and

3. Apportionment of investment property

between land and buildings.

Due to the significant judgement exercised 
by the Group in making and applying these 
assumptions to determine the deferred tax 
on investment property, we have given 
specific audit focus and attention to this 
area. 

Assumptions 
With respect to the assumptions used in the 
calculation of deferred tax, we engaged our in-house 
tax specialist and valuation expert to challenge the 
work performed and assess the reasonableness of the 
assumptions based on their knowledge of the tax 
legislation and other accepted approaches in the 
industry. 

1. Determining the amount of taxable cash
flows
We agreed the amount of taxable cash flows of
investment property from the Valuer’s report, which is
based on materially the same assumptions and
estimates used in the valuation of investment property
described above.

2. Timing of taxable cash flows
We tested a sample of ORAs to confirm that the
Deferred Management Fees (DMF) are contractually
earned at the end of the ORA period.

3. Apportionment of investment property
For a sample of properties, we agreed the council
rateable valuations to the council website and
recalculated the apportionment between land and
buildings.

Information other than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report 
The Directors are responsible for the annual report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial 
statements does not cover the other information included in the annual report and we do not, express 
any form of assurance conclusion on the other information. 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the 
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent 
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise 
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information 
that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material 
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report 
in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements 
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of 
the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal 
control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial 
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the 
Group’s ability 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial 
statements, as a whole, are 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 ISAs NZ and ISAs 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 these consolidated financial statements.  
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is 
located at the External Reporting Board’s website at: 

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-
report-1/ 

This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

Who we report to 
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been 
undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 
report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume 
responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our 
audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed. 

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Leopino Foliaki.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Corporate Governance Statement

Corporate Governance
Oceania is committed to maintaining the highest standards of governance by implementing best practice structures 
and policies. This Corporate Governance Statement sets out the corporate governance policies, practices and 
processes adopted or followed by Oceania (including the guiding principles, authority, responsibilities, membership 
and operation of the Board of Directors of Oceania) as at 31 May 2018, and has been approved by the Board.  

The best practice principles (and underlying recommendations) which Oceania has had regard to in determining 
its governance approach are the principles set out in the NZX Corporate Governance Code 2017 ("NZX Code"). 
The Board’s view is that Oceania’s corporate governance policies, practices and processes generally follow the 
recommendations set by the NZX Code. This Corporate Governance Statement includes disclosure of the extent 
to which Oceania has followed each of the recommendations in the NZX Code (or, if applicable, an explanation of 
why a recommendation was not followed and any alternative practices followed in lieu of the recommendation).  

Oceania also supports the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations.  

Further information about Oceania’s corporate governance framework (including Oceania’s constitution, 
the Board and Board committee charters, and codes and policies referred to in this section) is available to view 
at www.oceaniahealthcare.co.nz/investor-centre/governance.  

Principle 1 – Code of Ethical Behaviour

Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management 
accountable for these standards being followed throughout the organisation. 

Code of Values and Conduct and Related Policies

Recommendation 1.1: The Board should document minimum standards of ethical behaviour to which the issuer’s 
Directors and employees are expected to adhere (a code of ethics) and comply with the other requirements of 
Recommendation 1.1 of the NZX Code. 

Oceania expects its Directors, senior managers and employees to maintain the highest standards of honesty, 
integrity and ethical conduct in day to day behaviour and decision making. The Board has adopted a Code of Values 
and Conduct, a Whistleblowing Policy, a Confidentiality Policy, and a Trading in Company Securities Policy, all of 
which are available on Oceania’s website.  

The Code of Values and Conduct applies to all Directors, employees, contractors and consultants and outlines 
Oceania’s expectations about behaviour (including the specific expectations prescribed in the NZX Code), as well 
as the procedure for any breach of the Code. Every new Director, employee, contractor and consultant is required to 
read and understand the Code of Values and Conduct as part of the induction process and acknowledge that they 
have done so.  

Trading in Company Securities Policy

Recommendation 1.2: An issuer should have a financial product dealing policy which applies to employees  
and Directors.

The Trading in Company Securities Policy sets out Oceania’s requirements for all Directors and employees in relation 
to trading Oceania’s shares. The policy incorporates all trading restraints. Directors and senior managers are 
restricted from trading in shares during "black out" periods around the balance date and the half year balance date, 
and proposed transactions by Directors or senior managers at any other time require approval. The policy also 
provides that no Directors or employees can trade shares if they are in possession of price sensitive information 
that is not publicly available.

87

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Principle 2 – Board Composition and Performance

To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience  
and perspectives.

The Board is comprised of seven Directors with a mix of qualifications, skills and experience appropriate to Oceania’s 
business. The Chair of the Board is elected by the Board each year. The Board schedules a minimum of nine 
meetings each year.  

Board Charter

Recommendation 2.1: The Board of an issuer should operate under a written charter which sets out the roles and 
responsibilities of the Board. The Board charter should clearly distinguish and disclose the respective roles and 
responsibilities of the Board and management.

The Board has adopted a formal Board Charter which sets out the respective role, responsibilities, composition and 
structure of the Board and senior management, and this is available on Oceania’s website. The Board is responsible 
for the strategic direction of Oceania and for supervising the management of the business for the benefit of its 
shareholders. Responsibility for the day to day management of Oceania has been delegated to the Chief Executive 
Officer and the Senior Management Team. The General Counsel & Company Secretary provides company secretarial 
services to the Board. The General Counsel & Company Secretary is accountable to the Board through the Chair. 

Nomination and Appointment of Directors 

Recommendation 2.2 and 2.3: Every issuer should have a procedure for the nomination and appointment of 
Directors to the Board. An issuer should enter into written agreements with each newly appointed Director establishing 
the terms of their appointment.

The Board is responsible for succession planning. The procedure for the nomination and appointment of Directors is 
included in the Board Charter. When considering the appointment of a new Director, the Board will consider the skills 
of the existing Board and any gaps and the Board will undertake appropriate checks as to the candidate’s character 
and experience. Where Oceania determines that a person is an appropriate candidate, shareholders are notified of 
that and are provided with all material information in Oceania’s possession that is relevant to their decision on 
whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director. All new Directors enter into a written agreement with Oceania setting 
out the terms of their appointment.   

Directors

The Board currently comprises seven Directors. All of the Directors are non-executive Directors. The Board has 
considered which of its Directors are deemed to be independent for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules and 
has determined that, as at 31 May 2018, four Directors are independent Directors, including the Chair and the Chair 
of the Audit Committee. As at the date of this Annual Report, the Directors are:

by three institutional funds that are managed by specialist management companies within the Macquarie Infrastructure and  
Real Assets division of Macquarie Group Limited. The fund investments are held through various sub trusts. The Trust Company Limited,  
as custodian, holds OHHL shares on behalf of the sub trusts. As Directors of OHHL, each of Patrick McCawe and Hugh FitzSimons  
have the power to control the exercise of the rights attaching to the shares held by OHHL, and the power to control the acquisition  
or disposition of such shares. 

Diversity

Recommendation 2.5: An issuer should have a written Diversity Policy which includes requirements for the Board  
or a relevant committee of the Board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity (which, at a minimum, 
should address gender diversity) and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving 
them. The issuer should disclose the policy or a summary of it.

Oceania has a Diversity Policy which aims to ensure that Oceania has a focus on diversity throughout the 
organisation. This recognises that a diverse work force (including at Board and management levels) contributes 
to business growth and performance, helping to drive an inclusive, high performance environment.

The Diversity Policy establishes the following measurable objectives for achieving diversity:

-  Facilitating and promoting equal employment opportunities at all levels including assessment of diversity of skills, 

experience, values, culture and gender wherever possible from the available candidates.

-  Promoting a merit based environment in which employees have the opportunity to develop and perform to their 
full potential in alignment with Oceania’s commitment to the ongoing training and wellbeing of its employees.

-  Ensuring employees are treated fairly, evaluated objectively and promoted on the basis of their performance. 

The Diversity Policy also sets out requirements for the Board to assess its progress in achieving the objectives and 
the objectives themselves. The Diversity Policy is available on Oceania’s website. 

The Board considers that the Diversity Policy has been successfully implemented across the business with an 
excellent balance of gender and ethnicity at Director and officer levels. As at 31 May 2018 (and 31 May 2017 for the 
prior comparative period), the gender breakdown of the Directors, officers (as that term is defined in the NZX Listing 
Rules) and employees is as follows: 

Gender

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Director Training

Recommendation 2.6: Directors should undertake appropriate training to remain current on how to best perform 
their duties as Directors of an issuer. 

The Board ensures that there is appropriate training for all Directors enabling them to remain current on how to best 
discharge their responsibilities and keep abreast of changes and trends in economic, political, social, financial and 
legal climates and governance practices. The Board also ensures that new Directors are appropriately introduced to 
management and the business, that all Directors are acquainted with relevant industry knowledge and receive copies 
of appropriate company documents to enable them to perform their role.

Evaluation of Performance of Directors

Recommendation 2.7: The Board should have a procedure to regularly assess Director, Board and committee 
performance.

The Chair of the Board leads an annual performance review and evaluation of the Board as a whole, and of the Board 
committees, against the Board Charter including seeking Directors’ views relating to Board and Board committee 
process, efficiency and effectiveness, for discussion by the full Board. The Chair of the Board also engages with 
individual Directors to evaluate and discuss performance and professional development.  

Separation of Board Chair and CEO

Recommendation 2.8: The Chair and the CEO should be different people.

The Board Charter requires the Board Chair to be an independent Director, and not be the same person as the Chief 
Executive Officer or the Chair of the Audit Committee. 

Principle 3 – Board Committees

The Board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining 
Board responsibility.

Overview of Board Committees

The Board has three standing committees to assist in the execution of the Board’s duties, being the Audit Committee, 
the Remuneration Committee and the Clinical and Health and Safety Committee. 

Recommendation 3.5: All committees should operate under written charters. An issuer should identify the members 
of each of its committees, and periodically report member attendance.

Each committee operates under a charter which is available on Oceania’s website. Committee members are 
appointed from members of the Board and membership is reviewed on an annual basis. Any recommendations 
made by committees are submitted to the full Board as recommendations for Board decision.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018 
Audit Committee

Recommendation 3.1: An issuer’s Audit Committee should operate under a written charter. Membership on the  
Audit Committee should be majority independent and comprise solely of non-executive Directors of the issuer.  
The chair of the Audit Committee should not also be the Chair of the Board.

The Audit Committee comprises Alan Isaac (Chair), Elizabeth Coutts and Hugh FitzSimons and met six times 
during the year. The Audit Committee assists the Board in providing oversight of all matters relating to financial 
management and controls, financial accounting, audit and the external reporting requirements of Oceania 
and its subsidiary companies. The Audit Committee operates under the Audit Committee Charter, which is 
reviewed annually. 

Recommendation 3.2: Employees should only attend Audit Committee meetings at the invitation of the  
Audit Committee.

The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Financial Controller and General Counsel & Company Secretary 
attend Audit Committee meetings at the invitation of the Audit Committee. Oceania’s external auditor attends 
meetings as deemed necessary by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also meets and receives regular 
reports from the external auditor without management present, concerning any matters that arise in connection 
with the performance of its role.

Remuneration Committee

Recommendation 3.3: An issuer should have a Remuneration Committee which operates under a written charter 
(unless this is carried out by the whole Board). At least a majority of the Remuneration Committee should be 
independent Directors. Management should only attend Remuneration Committee meetings at the invitation of  
the Remuneration Committee.

As at 31 May 2018, the Remuneration Committee comprised Hugh FitzSimons (Chair), Elizabeth Coutts and 
Alan Isaac and met three times during the year. With effect from 1 July 2018, Hugh FitzSimons resigned from 
the Remuneration Committee, and Sally Evans was appointed as Chair. The Remuneration Committee assists the 
Board in the discharge of its responsibilities and oversight relative to the remuneration and performance of the 
Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Management Team, remuneration of Directors and human resources 
policy and strategy. The Remuneration Committee operates under the Remuneration Committee Charter, which 
is reviewed annually. 

Management only attend Remuneration Committee meetings at the invitation of the Remuneration Committee.

Nomination Committee 

Recommendation 3.4: An issuer should establish a Nomination Committee to recommend Director appointments  
to the Board (unless this is carried out by the whole Board), which should operate under a written charter. At least  
a majority of the Nomination Committee should be independent Directors.

The Board has decided not to have a separate Nomination Committee as Director appointments are considered 
by the Board as a whole. The procedure for the nomination and appointment of Directors is included in the Board 
Charter, and summarised in Principle 2 above (under the heading Nomination and Appointment of Directors). 

Clinical and Health and Safety Committee

Recommendation 3.5: An issuer should consider whether it is appropriate to have any other Board committees  
as standing Board committees. 

The Clinical and Health and Safety Committee comprises Kerry Prendergast (Chair), Elizabeth Coutts, 
Hugh FitzSimons (until 22 March 2018) and Sally Evans (from 23 March 2018) and met three times during the year.  

The Clinical and Health and Safety Committee reviews clinical risks, health and safety policy and risks arising from 
Oceania’s physical operations, and any other matters that may affect Oceania’s reputation outside of the financial 
risks that are specifically addressed within the Audit Committee. The Clinical and Health and Safety Committee 
operates under the Clinical and Health and Safety Committee Charter, which is reviewed annually.

The Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager Nursing and Risk, the General Manager Health and Safety and the 
General Counsel & Company Secretary attend these meetings.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018 
Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Takeover Protocols

Recommendation 3.6: The Board should establish appropriate protocols that set out the procedure to be followed  
if there is a takeover offer for the issuer (amongst other matters).

As at 31 May 2018, Oceania is in the process of developing a Takeover Response Policy to apply in the event that 
Oceania receives an unsolicited offer or an unsolicited approach by a potential acquirer for a control stake in 
Oceania. It is expected that this will be adopted in the next financial year. 

Principle 4 – Reporting and Disclosure
The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance 
of corporate disclosures.

The Board is committed to providing timely, orderly, consistent, accurate and credible information to the market to 
promote investor confidence.

Continuous Disclosure 

Recommendation 4.1: An issuer’s Board should have a written Continuous Disclosure Policy.

All information received by Oceania is considered in the context of Oceania’s obligations as a listed company with 
regard to continuous disclosure of material information. At each Board meeting, the Board considers whether there 
is material information that is required to be disclosed to the market. Oceania has established a Market Disclosure 
Policy to ensure compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the NZX Listing Rules and the ASX 
Listing Rules. The Market Disclosure Policy is available on Oceania’s website. 

Charters and Policies

Recommendation 4.2: An issuer should make its code of ethics, Board and committee charters and the policies 
recommended in the NZX Code, together with any other key governance documents, available on its website.

Information about Oceania’s corporate governance framework (including the Code of Values and Conduct, Board 
and Board committee charters, and other key governance codes and policies) are available to view on Oceania’s 
website at www.oceaniahealthcare.co.nz/investor-centre/governance. 

Financial Reporting 

Recommendation 4.3: Financial reporting should be balanced, clear and objective.

The Audit Committee oversees the quality and integrity of external financial reporting including the accuracy, 
completeness and timeliness of financial statements, and ensuring that financial reporting is balanced, clear and 
objective. It reviews annual and half year financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board concerning 
the application of accounting policies and practice, areas of judgement, compliance with accounting standards, 
stock exchange and legal requirements, and the results of the external audit. 

Management accountability for Oceania’s financial reporting is reinforced by the written certification from the Chief 
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that, in their opinion, financial records have been properly maintained 
and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of 
the financial position and performance of Oceania. Such representations are given on the basis of a sound system 
of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial 
reporting risk.

Non-Financial Reporting – Sustainability 

Recommendation 4.3: An issuer should provide non-financial disclosure at least annually, including considering 
material exposure to environmental, economic and social sustainability risks and other key risks. It should explain  
how it plans to manage those risks and how operational or non-financial targets are measured.

The Board and management consider the sustainability of Oceania’s buildings, particularly for new developments. 
New buildings include more insulation than is required, double glazing, water efficiency fittings, the use of energy 
efficient lighting and energy star rated appliances. Oceania has designed new developments (including 
Meadowbank Stages 3, 4 and 5, The Sands, The BayView, Green Gables and Windermere) in order to meet 
the 6 Homestar Built certification standards. 

As at 31 May 2018, Oceania does not have a formal environmental, social and governance reporting framework, 
however Oceania is in the early stages of reporting on non-financial information, and intends to provide additional 
disclosure in this area in future reports.    

92

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018 
Principle 5 – Remuneration

The remuneration of Directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.

Directors’ Remuneration

Recommendation 5.1: An issuer should recommend Director remuneration to shareholders for approval in  
a transparent manner. Actual Director remuneration should be clearly disclosed in the issuer’s Annual Report.

Directors’ remuneration is paid in the form of fees. Additional fees are payable in respect of work carried out  
on Board committees. 

Where required in the future, the Board will ensure that recommendations to shareholders regarding approval  
of Director remuneration is provided in a transparent manner.

No additional fees will apply for Directors as members of Board Committees for the financial year ended 31 May 2019.

The maximum aggregate amount of remuneration payable by Oceania to its Directors for fees and Board committee 
responsibilities was fixed at $582,500 per annum in the Product Disclosure Statement dated 31 March 2017. 

The appointment of Sally Evans as an independent Director and the appointment of Gregory Tomlinson as a 
Non-Executive Director on 23 March 2018 increased the total number of Directors to seven. Under NZX Listing 
Rule 3.5.1, the Directors are entitled without the requirement to put an ordinary resolution to shareholders, to 
increase the total remuneration pool by such amount as is necessary to enable the issuer to pay the additional 
Directors (such remuneration not to exceed the average amount then being paid to each of the other Non-Executive 
Directors, excluding the Chair). These Director appointments increased annualised Director fees to $762,500, 
inclusive of additional remuneration for committee Chairs, and accordingly the Board deemed the total fee pool 
to have increased to $762,500 on 23 March 2018.

Remuneration Policy

Recommendation 5.2: An issuer should have a Remuneration Policy for remuneration of Directors and officers,  
which outlines the relative weightings of remuneration components and relevant performance criteria.

Oceania has adopted a Remuneration Policy which sets out the remuneration principles that apply to all Directors 
and senior managers of Oceania to ensure that remuneration practices are fair and appropriate, and that there 
is a clear link between remuneration and performance. Oceania is committed to applying fair and equitable 
remuneration and reward practices in the workplace, taking into account internal and external relativity, the 
commercial environment, the ability to achieve Oceania’s business objectives and the creation of shareholder value. 
Under Oceania’s remuneration framework, individual performance and market relativity are key considerations in all 
remuneration based decisions, balanced by the organisational context. Remuneration for senior managers includes 
a mix of fixed and variable components. A copy of the Remuneration Policy is available on Oceania’s website. 

Employees’ Remuneration

Oceania did not employ people directly in the year ended 31 May 2018. All employees are employed by the 
subsidiaries of Oceania. The number of employees and former employees of Oceania’s subsidiaries, not being a 
Director, who received remuneration and other benefits in excess of $100,000 for the financial year ended 31 May 2018 
is set out in the table of remuneration bands below. 

The remuneration figures shown in the "Remuneration" column includes all monetary payments actually paid during the 
course of the year ended 31 May 2018, which include performance incentive payments for the year ended 31 May 2017.

Mr Gasparich received a short term incentive of $75,938 in July 2017. This was based on achievement of financial 
performance (EBITDA performance against budget), health and safety performance (injury and reporting rates), 
personal goals and a discretionary component for the year ended 31 May 2017.

Mr Gasparich was invited to participate in a long term incentive plan which was established concurrent with the IPO. 
As part of this, Earl Gasparich, Celia Gasparich and Carla Pearce as trustees of the Gasparich Family Trust were provided 
with an interest free loan of an amount of $550,000 to acquire 696,203 ordinary shares in Oceania. These shares are held 
by OCA Employees Trustee Limited on behalf of the participants. Further detail about this Long Term Incentive Plan is 
set out below.

In addition, 320,513 ordinary shares were vested in Earl Gasparich, Celia Gasparich and Carla Pearce as trustees of the 
Gasparich Family Trust on 9 May 2017 as the IPO target for the first Long Term Incentive Plan that was implemented in 
August 2015 was met. An additional 641,026 ordinary shares vested on 28 July 2017, being the business day after release 
of the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2017, as the financial hurdles were met. Further detail about this 
Long Term Incentive Plan is set out below.

Oceania’s senior managers are appointed by the CEO and their key performance indicators ("KPIs") contain specific 
financial and other objectives. These KPIs are reviewed annually by the CEO and the Remuneration Committee, 
which makes recommendations to the Board for approval. The performance of the senior managers against these 
KPIs is evaluated annually.

Short Term Incentive Payments

Short term incentive ("STI") payments are at risk payments designed to motivate and reward for performance, 
typically in that financial year. The target value of a STI payment is set as a percentage of the employee’s base salary. 
The target areas for all employees who are entitled to a STI payment are set based on financial performance (EBITDA 
performance against budget), health and safety performance (injury and reporting rates), personal goals, and there 
is also a small discretionary component. The weightings applied to each of the target areas are consistent throughout 
Oceania for all employees entitled to a STI payment. 

The Board approves the STI payments to be made to senior managers at the end of each financial year, and 
approves the senior manager targets for the following financial year. 

Long Term Incentive Scheme

2015 LTIP Scheme 

Certain Oceania senior managers participate in a Long Term Incentive Plan which was approved by the Board in 
August 2015 ("2015 LTIP Scheme"). The senior managers were each provided with an interest free loan by Oceania 
which was applied to acquiring shares. The amount of the loan for each senior manager was determined at the 
Board’s discretion. As at 31 May 2018, the aggregate value of all outstanding loans made by Oceania to the senior 
managers under the 2015 LTIP Scheme was $1,420,001.44. 

The Board then approved the issue of, and subsequently issued, 2,730,772 shares under the 2015 LTIP Scheme which 
vested to the participants as follows:

-  One third of the participants’ shares on the business day after the IPO; and 

- 

 The remaining two thirds of the participants’ shares on the business day after release of the financial statements 
for the year ended 31 May 2017 (subject to financial hurdles having been met). 

The first third of the participants’ shares vested on 9 May 2017, being the business day after the IPO. 

95

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

The remaining two thirds of the participants’ shares vested on 28 July 2017, being the business day after release 
of the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2017, as the financial hurdles were met. The shares issued to 
Earl Gasparich (through his family trust) and Matthew Ward under the 2015 LTIP Scheme are subject to escrow 
arrangements until the first Business Day after the date on which Oceania releases to NZX its preliminary 
announcement of its financial results in respect of the financial year ended 31 May 2018. 

A participant will only benefit in respect of shares acquired under the 2015 LTIP Scheme if he or she remains 
employed by Oceania at the vesting date for the relevant shares. 

The loans must be repaid on or before 31 May 2019. 

2017 LTIP Scheme

In addition, certain Oceania senior managers were invited to participate in another Long Term Incentive Plan which 
was established concurrent with the IPO ("2017 LTIP Scheme"). The senior managers were each provided with an 
interest free loan by Oceania which was applied to acquiring the shares. The amount of the loan for each senior 
manager was determined at the Board’s discretion. There were 3,164,557 shares issued under the 2017 LTIP Scheme 
on 4 May 2017 and these are held by OCA Employees Trustee Limited on behalf of the participants. As at 31 May 
2018, the aggregate value of all outstanding loans made by Oceania to the senior managers under the 2017 LTIP 
Scheme was $2,500,000. 

Generally, the shares under the 2017 LTIP Scheme will be eligible to vest if, at the vesting date (which is the business 
day after release of the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2020), the participant remains employed by 
Oceania and the performance hurdles are achieved. The performance hurdles require Oceania’s performance to 
meet, or exceed, an underlying Earnings per Share Compound Annual Growth Rate ("EPS CAGR") of 35% per annum 
or greater, over the three year period to 31 May 2020. In calculating the underlying EPS CAGR, the Board will make 
pro forma adjustments to the FY20 underlying EPS depending on the timing of delivery of key development 
projects. The Board may also adjust for the impact of items including significant one off gains or losses, acquisitions 
or divestments and changes to accounting policy. The 2017 LTIP Scheme shares may not vest in the participants if 
certain other conditions are not met.

The loans must be repaid after the 2017 LTIP Scheme shares have vested to each of the participants, or on such other 
date determined in accordance with the rules of the 2017 LTIP Scheme. 

Principle 6 – Risk Management
Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage 
them. The Board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage 
potential and material risks.

Risk Management

Recommendation 6.1: An issuer should have a risk management framework for its business and the issuer’s Board 
should receive and review regular reports. A framework should also be put in place to manage any existing risks and 
to report the material risks facing the business and how these are being managed.

The Board is responsible for Oceania’s risk management and internal control. The Board monitors policies and 
processes that identify significant business risks and implements procedures to monitor these risks. 

The Chief Executive Officer and senior managers regularly identify the major risks affecting the business in an 
organisational Risk Matrix, and develop strategies to mitigate these risks. 

Significant risks are discussed at Board meetings, or as required. Oceania maintains insurance policies that it 
considers adequate to meet insurable risks.

Health and Safety

Recommendation 6.2: An issuer should disclose how it manages its health and safety risks and should report on 
their health and safety risks, performance and management.

Oceania employs a General Manager Health and Safety and has a Clinical and Health and Safety Committee to assist 
the Board in meeting its responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. In particular, the Committee 
is responsible for ensuring that health and safety has appropriate focus within Oceania by regularly engaging in 
assurance processes around risk assessment and mitigation, safety systems, staff capability, staff competency, safety 
leadership and business safety culture. 

Health and safety review reports are a priority agenda item at all Board meetings and specific reviews are sought as 

96

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018required. Oceania has developed a health and safety risk matrix to identify specific risks, assess their severity and 
likelihood, document mitigation strategies and determine the level of residual risk. This matrix is reviewed annually 
by the Board and annual health and safety objectives and KPIs are set for the business based on the significant 
risks identified.

Detailed monthly reports are produced for the Board covering health and safety incidents, injury rates by severity, 
local site health and safety committee meetings, sick leave and key initiatives undertaken.

Principle 7 – Auditors

The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.

Relationship with Auditor

Recommendation 7.1 and 7.2: The Board should establish a framework for the issuer’s relationship with its external 
auditor. This should include the procedures prescribed in the NZX Code. The external auditor should attend the 
issuer’s Annual Meeting to answer questions from shareholders in relation to the audit.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of Oceania’s external audit arrangements. It is committed to 
ensuring that Oceania’s external auditor is able to carry out its work independently so that financial reporting is 
highly reliable and credible. Oceania has an External Auditor Independence Policy, which is available on Oceania’s 
website. The External Audit Independence Policy implements the procedures set out in the NZX Code.

The policy sets out the work that the external auditor is required to do and specifies the services that the external 
auditor is not permitted to do, so that the ability of the auditor to carry out its work is not impaired and could not 
reasonably be perceived to be impaired. All non-audit work that the external auditor performs must be approved 
by the Chair of the Audit Committee. 

Oceania’s external auditor is PricewaterhouseCoopers. Total fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers in its capacity 
as auditor for FY18 were $428,000. Total fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers for other professional services 
(being trustee reporting and external reporting to banks) for FY18 were $14,000. No other fees were paid to 
PricewaterhouseCoopers for other professional services. 

PricewaterhouseCoopers has been invited to attend this year’s Annual Meeting and will be available to answer 
questions about the audit process, Oceania’s accounting policies and the independence of the auditor.

Internal Audit Functions

Recommendation 7.3: Internal audit functions should be disclosed. 

Oceania engaged KPMG to perform an internal audit of the payroll processes during the financial year ended  
31 May 2018. 

The next step for the internal audit function will be for KPMG to conduct a thorough review of Oceania’s risk 
framework, following which a three year rolling Internal Audit Plan will be prepared. 

Principle 8 – Shareholder Rights and Relations

The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders 
that encourage them to engage with the issuer. 

Information for Shareholders

Recommendation 8.1: An issuer should have a website where investors and interested stakeholders can access 
financial and operational information and key corporate governance information about the issuer.

Oceania is committed to an open and transparent relationship with shareholders. The Board aims to ensure that all 
shareholders are provided with all information necessary to assess Oceania’s direction and performance. 

This is done through a range of communication methods including periodic and continuous disclosures to NZX and 
ASX, half year and annual reports and the Annual Meeting. Oceania’s website provides financial and operational 
information, and information about its Directors and senior managers and copies of its governance documents, for 
investors and interested stakeholders to access at any time. 

97

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2018Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Communicating with Shareholders

Recommendation 8.2: An issuer should allow investors the ability to easily communicate with the issuer, including 
providing the option to receive communications from the issuer electronically.

Shareholders have the option of receiving their communications electronically, including by email or through 
Oceania’s investor centre. Oceania’s website also contains a section for electronic shareholder communications and 
the Board encourages investors to make enquiries if they wish on environmental, social and governance issues.  

Shareholder Voting Rights 

Recommendation 8.3 and 8.4: Shareholders should have the right to vote on major decisions which may change the 
nature of the company in which they are invested in. Each person who invests money in a company should have one 
vote per share of the company they own equally with other shareholders.

The regulatory safeguards built into the NZX Listing Rules, ASX Listing Rules, the Companies Act 1993 and Oceania’s 
constitution operate to preserve shareholders’ entitlement to vote on key decisions impacting Oceania, including 
where votes are conducted by poll, each shareholder shall have one vote per share. 

Notice of Annual Meeting 

Recommendation 8.5: The Board should ensure that the annual shareholders’ notice of meeting is posted on the 
issuer’s website as soon as possible and at least 28 days prior to the meeting.

Oceania encourages shareholder participation at the Annual Meeting, and the Board aims to ensure that all relevant 
information is provided to shareholders for consideration with sufficient notice in advance of shareholders’ meetings 
(and at least 28 days prior to Oceania’s Annual Meeting, including by posting the Notice of Annual Meeting on 
Oceania’s website). 

Principle 9 – Stakeholder Interests

The Board should respect the interests of stakeholders, taking into account the entity’s ownership type and  
its fundamental purpose. 

The Board carefully considers and respects the interests of Oceania’s stakeholders (in addition to its shareholders) 
including, in particular, the residents and their families, its staff and the communities in which it operates. 

In relation to residents, Oceania has a number of residential care and independent living policies that recognise the 
rights of residents. Oceania also complies with the requirements of the Retirement Villages Code of Practice 2008 
which further identifies obligations to residents and protects residents’ rights. Oceania has received external 
recognition for service delivery in aged care, and was awarded the New Zealand Aged Care Association’s Award 
for Overall Excellence in Care in 2015, 2016 and 2017. 

In relation to staff, Oceania has a strong commitment to staff training and development. A dedicated learning and 
development team focuses on the delivery of staff training and a Career Pathways Programme which includes a 
NZQA recognised Healthcare Assistant Certificate in residential care. In addition, Oceania’s Wesley Institute of 
Learning provides postgraduate nursing and healthcare assistant training to Oceania staff and the wider nursing 
and healthcare industry, providing an important strategic avenue for recruitment by Oceania of well trained 
registered nurses.
