ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Pat Caspersen & son 
Lives at Greenvalley 

89-year-old Patricia Caspersen 
moved into Greenvalley over 
a year ago. “The first thing we 
noticed about Greenvalley was 
that the staff were extremely 
approachable and friendly,” 
says son Lex. “From the 
managers, to the cleaners – 
everyone we met had a smile  
on their face.”

For Lex, it’s a relief to know  
his Mum is in good hands. 
“When Mum was living on her 
own, she’d go days without 
talking to anyone. Nowadays, 
she’s a happier person – she’s 
lost that loneliness. Her medical 
needs are looked after, she gets 
great food, and she’s the first to 
sign up for van trips – she loves 
to get out and about!”

Delight

It’s at the heart of Oceania Healthcare. 
It’s what sets us apart. By taking the time 
to know our residents, understand them 
and personalise their care we make a huge 
difference to their happiness, every day. 
It's this care, and the care we show in all 
aspects of our business, that creates value.

In this report, as we move towards an 
integrated approach, we take a close up 
look at how we do what we do, what this 
means for our stakeholders, and why this 
makes us strong today and in the long term.

Letter from the Chair

I am pleased to report another strong 
performance for Oceania Healthcare 
in the year ending 31 May 2019, with 
Underlying Net Profit after Tax from 
continuing operations of $49.7m and 
Total Comprehensive Income of $99.8m.

We have continued to successfully 
execute our strategy of developing 
our brownfield sites in major cities and 
upgrading our other aged care sites 
throughout New Zealand during the 
past year. In doing so, we are able to 
offer a superior product and service 
for both our care and independent 
living residents. 

Our care strategy is to develop premium 
rooms that are sold under occupation 
right agreements (our care suites) as well 
as transform our existing portfolio into 
a mix of premium and standard rooms. 
Oceania Healthcare not only receives 
the daily care fee for our premium 
rooms (for providing care services to 
each resident), but also a return from 
the deferred management fee (if the 
resident is occupying a care suite) or the 
daily premium accommodation charge.  
We explain our care suite strategy in 
more detail on page 17 and our CEO 
expands on the success of this strategy 
during the last financial year in his report.

Our strategy in our independent living 
business is to redevelop our premium 
locations with high quality independent 
living accommodation and spacious, 
well-appointed community facilities.  
By doing this, we maximise value and 
yield through the revenue generated 
from the selling prices and the trail 
deferred management income (being 
the deferred management fees payable 
on the ORA). We also continue to 
purchase property adjoining existing 
sites in order to expand our villages and 
in the year ahead will identify more well-
located greenfield sites to support our 
future growth. Further information on 
our development philosophy is set out 
on page 19. 

During the year, the Directors have had 
the pleasure of visiting many of our 
sites, either as a Board or individually, 
meeting with our staff and residents and 
observing the culture and day-to-day 
operations at our sites. It is great to see 
our residents enjoying the services that 
we deliver and the enthusiasm, passion 
and capabilities of our team. We have 
outstanding staff members and we  
care about their wellbeing. During 
these visits, the Directors welcomed 
comments from residents and their 
families which were incorporated 
into Oceania Healthcare's continuous 
improvement processes.

This year we have started the journey 
towards preparing our Annual 
Report using the integrated reporting 
framework. We recognise that value 
for Oceania Healthcare extends 
beyond purely financial performance 
and that it includes other dimensions, 
such as our social and environmental 
performance, that are important to us 
and our stakeholders. We are currently 
embedding the principles of integrated 
thinking throughout the business so  
that the reporting step will follow in  
the years to come. 

We are now well into the cycle of 
decommissioning older sites and 
replacing them with our new, premium 
offering. For our key brownfields 
locations, this redevelopment process 
typically involves the construction of 
new aged care buildings on our sites 
as a first stage (adjacent to the existing 
buildings), the transfer of residents from 
the existing aged care centre to the new 
centre once opened, and then the sale 
(under ORA) of remaining premium beds 
in the new centre. 

There is a period at the beginning of  
this cycle where earnings from our aged 
care segment are negatively impacted, 
and we have seen this in the 2019 
financial year as we opened our new 
care centre at The BayView in Tauranga 
and neared completion of our new  
care centre at Awatere in Hamilton.  
We have also converted standard rooms 
into 47 care suites within a number of 
existing sites and in the process of this 
conversion temporarily held rooms 
vacant while construction works were 
completed. This naturally reduces 
earnings in the short term from the care 
segment of our business until these 
rooms are complete and sold under 
ORA, in the process recovering the 
capital costs of the conversion  
and significantly enhancing aged  
care earnings per bed.

As these new care suites at our 
redevelopment sites, and rooms 
converted into care suites at other 
existing sites, are sold over the coming 
year, earnings from our aged care 
segment will increase materially due  
to the enhanced earnings from the  
care suite model. 

We are about to commence the 
redevelopment of our Lady Allum Village 
in Milford, Auckland, with Stage One 
comprising the new (replacement) care 
centre located adjacent to the existing 
care centre on the site. Again, this 
redevelopment will cause a short term 
negative impact to aged care earnings 
as the existing site is impacted by this 
construction, however considerable long 
term value creation is unlocked through 
the increased intensity of both aged care 
and retirement village on the site, as  
well as the enhanced earnings from  
our new care suites.

Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019Liz Coutts 
Chair

Liz Coutts has been a  
Director of Oceania Healthcare 
since 5 November 2014 and 
was appointed Chair in 2014.  
Liz is also the Chair of Ports  
of Auckland Limited and 
Skellerup Holdings Limited,  
and a director of EBOS  
Group Limited.

Given Oceania Healthcare’s current 
position in the redevelopment and 
conversion cycle, our Underlying 
Net Profit after Tax from continuing 
operations was consistent with 
the prior year at $49.7m. This was 
largely a reflection of the timing for 
completion of our two key development 
sites (Meadowbank Stage Four and 
The Sands) near the very end of our 
financial year, which only allowed for a 
small number of residents to move into 
these sites before the end of May. We 
are pleased to report that sales have 
been very strong over these two sites 
during June and July to date, and we 
expect this to continue as both sites are 
sold down over the coming year.

Reported Net Profit after Tax is $45.4m 
and reflects the valuation of new 
brownfields developments delivered 
in the year. This is below last year due 
to the valuation of our existing villages 
remaining stable.

Total Comprehensive Income has 
increased by 22.1% to $99.8m over the 
year. This measure takes into account the 
enhanced value that we are adding to our 
aged care business as we bring new care 
suites onto the market.

We have continued to increase our 
total assets as a result of our ongoing 
capital development programme and 
revaluations with total assets valued at 
$1.4bn as at 31 May 2019, an increase of 
22.0% on prior year.

Operating cash flow of $89.3m was also 
8.6% higher than the prior corresponding 
period with sale proceeds from previously 
completed developments contributing 
$75.5m. We continue to maintain 
sufficient headroom and flexibility  
to accelerate the execution of our 
development pipeline. 

With net debt of $248.2m as at 31 May 
2019, our gearing remains prudent with 
net debt to net debt plus equity of 28.9%.

The 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 
57% of Underlying Net Profit after Tax.  
I am also pleased to advise that the 
Board has approved the implementation 
of a dividend reinvestment plan for 
our New Zealand and Australian 
shareholders, to take effect from the 
dividend payable on 26 August 2019. 

This provides a cost effective and 
convenient way for our shareholders 
to increase their investment in Oceania 
Healthcare without any brokerage fees 
by reinvesting all or part of any dividend 
paid on their shares in additional 
Oceania Healthcare shares instead of 
receiving that distribution in cash.

On behalf of the Board, I would like 
to thank our staff for their valuable 
contribution again this year. The energy 
and commitment that our staff bring 
to our business is second to none and 
we call upon the passion, skill and 
experience of our staff every day to 
continue to deliver high quality care  
and services to our residents. 

I am looking forward to the year ahead 
as we continue to execute our strategy 
to transform our product portfolio 
and focus on delivering services which 
exceed our residents’ expectations. 

Yours sincerely,

Elizabeth Coutts 
Chair, Oceania Healthcare Limited

INSIGHT:  
Keeping a happy balance

I use some of my leisure time to stay fit 
and active. I run 6km on the treadmill 
most days and enjoy walking around 
Auckland’s waterfront and tracks 
around the Queenstown area. I enjoy 
yoga - a personal instructor keeps me 
on track with my fitness goals!

Tennis is my favourite sport. Recently 
I have been fundraising for the 
redevelopment of the Auckland 
Tennis Centre and I am actively 
involved with the governance of the 
ASB Classic international tennis 
tournament held in January each year. 

When I’m not working, my husband 
and I love to travel overseas and 
experience new cultures and places.

Working on what matters

We have set our strategy by considering 
what is important to our key stakeholders 
and which risks and opportunities have 
the greatest impact on our ability to 
create value in the short and long term.

Our key stakeholders

–  Residents and Families

– Staff

– DHBs 

– Regulators

– Investors and Funders

– Communities 

– Suppliers/Contractors

For the purposes of this report the  
Board and Senior Management have 
considered our key stakeholders and the 
material risks in our internal risk register. 
We have prioritised these to determine 
four outcomes (or material matters) that 
guide our strategy. 

As we are at the early stages of 
embedding the Integrated Reporting 
framework, the material matters reflect 
our customer and staff engagement 
surveys, feedback from other 
stakeholders and the views of Board and 
Senior Management. We have reviewed 
how we measure our performance of the  
four material matters (set out on page 9 
under Our Value Outcomes) and have 
included some key performance 
indicators in the subsequent sections  
of this report, along with some examples 
of our strategy in action.

We intend to build on this for future 
reports, by conducting a formal 
materiality review including interviews 
with representatives of the various 
stakeholder groups to refine what 
matters most to them. This will enable  
us to report on the matters that are  
most relevant for our stakeholders.

Letter from Chief Executive Officer

We have had another great year at Oceania 
Healthcare as we go about delivering care and 
services to our residents while diligently building, 
selling and operating new sites. We are continuing 
to push the boundaries by reinventing aged care 
with more innovation than ever seen in New Zealand, 
and delivering hospitality inspired services that 
continue to delight our residents.

We were pleased to win both the 
Innovative Service Delivery and the 
Excellence in Food awards at the annual 
New Zealand Aged Care Association 
conference in September 2018.

Care suites are at the core of our  
growth strategy in aged care. These 
premium rooms are fully certified by  
the Ministry of Health to provide rest 
home through to hospital level care, 
enabling residents to remain in the same 
room throughout their care journey. 
This full-service, round-the-clock care 
capability sets care suites apart from 
serviced apartments.

By selling premium rooms as care suites 
under an occupation right agreement, 
we not only generate aged care earnings 
during the resident’s tenure by providing 
care services, but we also realise a 
deferred management fee at the end of 
the tenure. These two revenue streams 
provide the returns required to justify a 
continued investment in aged care and 
meet the significant expected increase  
in demand as the population ages. 

An important feature of our aged care 
strategy is the enhancement of care and 
hospitality service standards, that go 
hand-in-hand with the redevelopment  
of our premium care suite product.  
We introduced our new superior service 
delivery model to our Meadowbank 
care suite residents last year, which 
provides them personalised, resident-
centred services. Our residents enjoy 
the benefits of having a guest service 
manager (similar to a concierge at a 
hotel), a choice of meals from a menu 
in the dining room or from the in-room 
menu, morning and afternoon tea  
served in their suite or in the lounge,  
a range of engaging leisure activities  
on offer seven days a week and personal 
laundry pressed and folded. Following 
the success of this new model at 
Meadowbank, we introduced the same 
model at The BayView where it has  
also been well received and sales of our 
new suites that opened in January are 
tracking ahead of expectation. We are 
now looking forward to implementing 
this model in our new care suites at  
The Sands, Awatere (formerly Trevellyn in 
Hamilton) and Green Gables (in Nelson) 
when these sites open during FY2020.

The weighting of our portfolio in care 
and superior financial returns from 
our care suite product differentiate us 
from other operators in the market and 
provide resilience against downturns in 
the property cycle. We have continued 
to prove our capability to design, build, 
sell and operate premium aged care and 
retirement villages throughout the last 
financial year and we are particularly 
thrilled to have welcomed residents 
into our brand new care suite building 
at The BayView in Tauranga and our 
first apartment residents to their brand 
new waterfront village, The Sands, in 
Auckland’s Browns Bay in May 2019.

Care 

We have continued to transform our 
aged care offering during the year 
and are continuously innovating in 
both clinical care and hospitality-led 
service delivery. We have a significantly 
higher weighting of aged care beds to 
retirement village units in our portfolio 
compared to our peers and this will 
remain the case as we build out our 
brownfields development pipeline.  
We pride ourselves in delivering 
excellent care to our residents and  
in being a recognised industry  
leader in the provision of clinical 
outcomes. 

10

Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019During the year we appointed a National 
Culinary Manager who has been working 
with the Executive Chefs at our sites 
to raise the standard of our dining 
experience and ensure that our residents 
are being served tasty and nutritious 
meals. Our new winter 2019 menu was 
rolled out across all of our aged care 
sites in May 2019 and we have received 
fantastic feedback from our residents. 

We are also improving our clinical care 
delivery with the necessary investment 
in our IT platform. We are rolling out a 
Resident Clinical Management System, 
e-Case, across the country and, as at  
31 May 2019, this has been implemented 
at six of our sites. E-Case is revolutionising 
the way that we manage resident 
information. 

In addition to building new care suites, 
we have been transforming our aged 
care portfolio by converting standard 
rooms to premium rooms across a 
number of sites around the country.  
This process involves reconfiguring 
internal layouts, enlarging room sizes, 
and in some cases retrofitting ensuites 
in order to bring the product up to a 
superior standard. The new rooms are 
certified as care suites and the capital 
invested is recovered with the sale of  
the occupation right agreement. 

Aged care returns are also enhanced by 
generating a deferred management fee 
from the occupation right agreement. 
Over the last year, we have completed 
47 care suite conversions at Woodlands 
(Motueka, Nelson), Holmwood (Rangiora, 
Canterbury), St Johns Wood (Taupo), 
Atawhai (Hawkes Bay), Middlepark 
(Christchurch), Otumarama (Nelson) 
and Addington Gardens (Christchurch). 
Demand has been strong for these 
premium rooms and we are now 
planning the next stage of conversions 
across nine sites. 

Developments

We have made good progress on our 
development sites during the year, with 
all 272 retirement village units and 
aged care beds completed as signalled 
to investors last year. We are pleased 
to have delivered the 81 care suites at 
The BayView, 83 apartments and care 
suites in Stage Four at Meadowbank 
and 108 apartments and care suites at 
The Sands, all on time and on budget. 
As you will see from this Annual Report, 
our new developments are meticulously 
designed with their unique location 
in mind. Residents at Meadowbank 
enjoy spectacular views over the 
neighbourhood and across the Orakei 
Basin towards the Auckland CBD.  
The Sands is a development right on the 
waterfront at Browns Bay on Auckland’s 
North Shore. Situated just across the 
road from the beach, this boutique 
village boasts stunning views across the 
water looking out towards Rangitoto. 
The apartments at Meadowbank and 
The Sands are spacious and a significant 
amount of care and planning has gone 
into their design including enclosable 
glass balconies, large showers and  
wide corridors to make it easier for  
our residents to enjoy their homes.

11

LETTER FROM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

In addition to the completion of these 
prominent Auckland projects, our 
development team has been working 
hard to complete 90 care suites at 
Awatere (formerly Trevellyn) in July 2019. 
In a similar approach to that taken at 
The BayView in December, we intend 
to move residents of the previous care 
centre into the new care centre and then 
sell the balance of the new care suites 
under occupation right agreement. Later, 
as rooms become available, we will sell 
these under occupation right agreement. 

We are also making good progress at 
our Green Gables development in Nelson 
(comprising 89 apartments and care 
suites). This development is in a premium 
location in central Nelson and we are 
looking forward to completing this in the 
second half of FY2020. 

Construction is also well underway 
on Stage Five at Meadowbank (26 
apartments), Stage Two at The BayView 
(74 apartments and community centre), 
Gracelands (32 villas), Whitianga  
(10 villas) and Windermere in 
Christchurch (93 apartments and  
care suites). 

We are also skilled in the management 
of our resource consent processes, with 
several new consents achieved during 
the past year that significantly de-risk 
our future redevelopment plans. New 
consents were obtained during the year 
at Eden, Eldon, Elmwood, Eversley, Lady 
Allum and for Stage Six at Meadowbank. 
Of the 1,995 retirement village units and 
aged care beds in our pipeline, 67.3% 
now have planning approvals in place.

Our people

Despite the substantial development 
programme ahead of us, Oceania 
Healthcare is very much a people 
business. We have over 2,600 staff 
caring for our residents and we 
recognise that the passion of our staff is 
the key to delivering outstanding care 
to our residents. Two prominent features 
of our culture at Oceania Healthcare are 
leadership empowerment and teamwork, 
and these are modelled on a daily basis 
throughout our sites. I have personally 
visited all 36 of our aged care sites 
three times over the past year, both to 
provide support and encouragement 
to our site management, but also to 
connect directly with our staff. I spend 
three hours at every site visit, with half of 
this dedicated to meeting with staff and 
hearing their stories on a one-on-one or 
group basis.

We have made a significant investment 
again this year in learning and 
development, with most of our Business 
and Care Managers and Clinical 
Managers now having completed the 
Step-Up for Leaders training programme. 
This upskilling enables them to lead 
their people better than ever before. 
We are also encouraged that 14% of 
our healthcare assistants and 9% of our 
cleaners completed the New Zealand 
Certificate in Health and Wellbeing 
qualification in the past year, enabling 
them to move into higher pay bands, 
with a further 32% of our healthcare 
assistants and 28% of our cleaners 
currently enrolled in these courses. 

As well as providing our healthcare 
assistants with substantial remuneration 
increases through the Government’s 
equal pay regime, in October 2018 we 
increased our pay scales for registered 
nurses to recognise the importance of 
retaining these key employees in the 
face of shortages across the health 
sector. Our pay rates are now leading 
the industry and new pathways have 
been established for registered nurses 
to progress through our pay scales with 
high levels of professional development.

During the year we also achieved a 
two year accreditation status with 
Immigration New Zealand, which 
enables Oceania Healthcare to 
recruit internationally and provides a 
faster turnaround for our employees’ 
work visas. This enhances Oceania 
Healthcare’s employment brand and 
builds on our reputation as a preferred 
employer in the sector. 

We are announcing the introduction 
of an employee share scheme which 
will be offered to all of our permanent 
employees. This will give staff an 
opportunity to own a stake in Oceania 
Healthcare and share in our growth. 
This year our staff will be invited to 
participate in the scheme and receive 
an allocation of $800 per annum (for 
full-time employees) or $400 per annum 
(for part-time employees) of Oceania 
Healthcare shares. The shares will be held 
in trust for three years before they are 
transferred into the employee’s name. We 
are delighted that our staff will be further 
recognised for the crucial part that they 
play in Oceania Healthcare’s success.

Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019INSIGHT:  
My passion away from work

My family owned a sailing yacht from 
when I was about 7 years old, and 
we spent holidays sailing around the 
Hauraki Gulf, one of the most beautiful 
harbours in the world. I used to love 
coming into a bay at the end of a day 
out of the wind, weaving amongst the 
larger yachts and launches moored 
further off the shore, and finding a 
spot closer in because our boat was 
smaller. As soon as we had dropped 
anchor I would jump in our little 
dinghy and row ashore, exploring  
the beaches and rocks. When I was  
9 years old, I got my own sailing 
dinghy, which we towed behind our 
boat and when we moored I’d put up 
the mast and sail around on my own.  

Sailing is a sport that, once you’ve 
experienced it as a youngster, you 
always have in your blood. I don’t get 
a lot of opportunity to get out on the 
water nowadays but when I do the 
exhilaration of being powered only  
by the wind, at the edge of control,  
is very addictive. It’s great that I can 
now experience this with my kids and 
pass on the passion for this great  
New Zealand pastime. 

13

As well as working hard to deliver real 
benefits for our staff, we have also 
continued our focus on enhancing our 
health and safety training and support 
programmes across our sites. We 
have developed a robust contractor 
management process and training 
programme and are rolling this out 
nationwide. It is very pleasing to see 
that our ongoing focus in this area has 
had a positive impact on our business, 
as we have made a further significant 
reduction in our injury rates and in 
doing so provided our staff with a safer 
workplace than ever before.

We have a substantial development 
pipeline at our brownfields sites for 
the next six years and are in the financial 
position to make further acquisitions of 
development land should opportunities 
arise during the next year. We are 
looking forward to further executing 
our development pipeline and care suite 
conversion projects in order to deliver the 
highest standards of care to our residents.

I am excited for the next year, with our 
experienced and strong Board and 
leadership team in place, a clear strategy 
for growth, and our passionate staff who 
are totally committed to their residents.

Outlook

Yours sincerely,

In the two years since our Initial Public 
Offering we have been extremely busy 
developing, selling and operating new 
sites as well as transforming our care 
offering – both in product and service 
delivery. 

Earl Gasparich 
Chief Executive Officer

Q+A

It's been a busy two years for Oceania 
Healthcare’s Chief Executive Officer,  
Earl Gasparich, since Oceania Healthcare 
listed on NZX and ASX in May 2017. We had 
a chat with Earl about the challenges and 
opportunities for Oceania Healthcare and  
what makes him tick.

Q: It sounds as though you’ve had  
a pretty busy time at work lately.  
What do you like to do in your time  
off to help you relax and recharge?

A: We’ve been incredibly busy over the 
past two years executing our strategy 
- there’s a lot going on and the team 
are working very hard. Relaxing and 
recharging is a very tough question –  
my family would say that I don’t! I’ve 
always been a bit of a workaholic but in 
this role you have to intentionally create 
time for family and friends or else it just 
won’t happen. I did make a decision 
several years ago that I wouldn’t work 
on the weekends while the kids were 
awake, and I’ve generally managed to 
stick to that despite it meaning some 
very late nights after they are asleep. 
So I spend most of the time when not 
at work with my wife and three children 
doing a variety of sports, entertaining 
and relaxing at home. We live on a 
lifestyle block out in the western part  
of Auckland which is a great haven.  
I also make sure that I take time off 
during school holidays which are good 
times for making family memories.

Q: Oceania Healthcare has been listed 
for two years now. What has been 
achieved in that time?

A: The listing gave us the capital we 
needed to execute our brownfields 
development pipeline and transform 
our existing aged care portfolio. From 
a development perspective, we’ve 
completed 364 units and care suites in 
two years at The Sands, Meadowbank 
Stages Three and Four and The BayView 
care suites all on time and on budget. 
We’ve also converted 114 standard rooms 
and apartments into premium offerings 
that are being sold under ORAs as care 
suites at 12 sites. With our premium care 
strategy we’ve launched our enhanced 
care services at all sites with care suites, 
and are now delivering unparalleled 
levels of service in our new sites. We’ve 
achieved an enormous amount in just 
two years – the considerable investment 
in our people is echoed in our staff 
satisfaction, reduced injury rates and the 
training that we’re providing at all levels. 
We’ve lifted our culinary experience, our 
activities on site, the list goes on and 
on. I’m incredibly proud of our people 
who are passionate and dedicated to 
providing the best care and service to 
our residents. 

Q: How do you perceive the reported 
slow down in the residential property 
market in New Zealand and how is 
Oceania Healthcare positioned to 
respond to this?

A: There is no doubt that the growth in 
residential property values has slowed 
and in some parts of the country we 
are seeing a slight easing in prices.  
However, there is still a significant gap 
in most regions between the average 
house price and the asking price for 
independent living units. For us at 
Oceania Healthcare, we’ve been saying 
for some time that, while Oceania 
Healthcare is certainly not immune to the 
effects of the slowing property market, 
our business is a lot more resilient to it 
than others. This is simply because of 
the scale of our Care business, which 
we describe as “needs-based”. What we 
mean by this is that the decision to move 
into an Oceania Healthcare aged care 
site by an incoming care resident is not 
driven by what the property market is 
doing, it is driven by their need for care, 
which is often urgent. These residents 
are not factoring into their decision 
how much they will sell their residential 
properties for, that is the last thing on 
their minds when their needs are such 
that moving into aged residential care 
is imperative. Even when looking to 
purchase a care suite, the lower entry 
price for these rooms means that 
affordability is not compromised. 

14

Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019Q: Oceania Healthcare sold five of  
its sites to Heritage Lifecare last year. 
Are you intending to sell any other  
sites over the next 12 months?

A: We undertook a portfolio review last 
year that identified a small number of 
sites that were not suitable for upgrade 
or redevelopment and therefore did not 
fit within our future aged care plans. As 
a result of this review, we sold five of our 
aged care sites to Heritage Lifecare last 
year. At this stage we are not intending 
to sell any other aged care sites. 

Q: There has been a lot of discussion 
recently about wage rates in the sector. 
How is Oceania Healthcare rewarding 
its people?  

A: We have been investing a lot in  
our people over the past two years.  
We delivered a significant increase in the 
pay rates for registered nurses last year, 
as well as delivering the second year of 
the Government’s equal pay settlement 
for healthcare assistants. The starting 
rate for other housekeeping staff also 
increased significantly. Our pay rates for 
registered nurses are now well aligned  
to the recent DHB settlement and this 
has certainly eased the pressure on  
the retention of our registered nurses. 
We provide direct support to our 
registered nurses to complete their 
professional development requirements 
and for healthcare assistants to progress 
through qualification levels, and have 
also invested considerably in our  
tailored leadership development  
training programme, Step-Up.

On top of this, we have just launched 
our employee share scheme which 
all of our permanent staff will be 
invited to participate in. Our staff  
will be able to own a stake in Oceania 
Healthcare and will be further 
recognised for the vital role they  
play in Oceania Healthcare’s success. 

Q: Your development at The BayView 
in Tauranga has been the first major 
development out of Auckland for some 
time. Now that some of the residents 
have been living in the care suites there 
for six months, what feedback are you 
getting for this product?

A: The feedback at The BayView is 
wonderful. We took 60 residents from 
an older building on site and moved 
them into their brand new care suites 
with new furniture in every room, and a 
completely new model of care service 
delivery. We have also sold 17 care suites 
to new residents, who are enjoying 
fabulous food, leisure activities and 
beautiful common areas. I’m also really 
pleased with the feedback from staff, 
who have told me how much of a lift 
in wellbeing they have noticed in their 
residents simply from the move into the 
new environment. It's great to see how 
well this new service model is going.

Q: Oceania Healthcare delivered 272 
units and care suites during FY2019. 
How confident are you that the team 
will be able to deliver the 250+ units 
and care suites promised from FY2020?

A: We are confident that Oceania 
Healthcare will be able to deliver our 
increased build rates of 250 units and 
care suites in FY2021 and 300 units 
and care suites each year thereafter, 

starting with 265 units and care suites 
due for completion in FY2020. With 
the completion of The Sands and 
Meadowbank Stage Four on programme 
this past year, and the completion of 
Awatere Village ahead of programme 
in July 2019, we have proven our 
development capability to the market. 
All of our current developments are 
progressing well according to plan 
and therefore we’ve got high levels 
of confidence in the team continuing 
to deliver.

Q: What level of acquisitions will 
Oceania Healthcare need to achieve 
this level of growth?

A: We acquired the properties at 
Waimarie Street in St Heliers, Auckland 
last year and our team has been busy 
consenting this development. In addition 
to this, we have bought some properties 
adjacent to our Elmwood, Lady Allum 
and Eden sites (also in Auckland), 
so we’ve got plenty of development 
ahead of us. Having said that, if a good 
opportunity came up, we would certainly 
look to acquire this in the same way  
that we acquired the properties in  
St Heliers. The reality is that we’re a  
good five years away from needing 
to turn dirt on another site in order to 
maintain our build rate.

Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019 
Our care suite strategy explained

At Oceania Healthcare, we are changing the face  
of premium aged residential care in New Zealand. 
As baby-boomers retire and later require permanent 
assisted living, they are demanding standards of 
accommodation and service well beyond what 
traditional rest homes are capable of providing.  
In addition, it is well recognised that the Government’s 
fixed daily care fee falls well short of what is required 
to give operators anything like a reasonable return on 
the capital investment needed for new aged care sites.

In response, the DHBs have for some 
time recognised the ability of operators 
to provide residents with premium 
rooms, and charge residents additional 
fees to stay in these types of superior 
accommodation. These fees take the form 
of premium accommodation charges 
(PACs) or deferred management fees 
(DMFs) on occupation right agreements 
(ORAs). These two premium charging 
models have strong similarities to the 
Australian aged care accommodation 
funding model of daily accommodation 
payments (DAPs) and refundable 
accommodation deposits (RADs).

We offer residents both types of 
premium rooms at Oceania Healthcare 
(PACs and ORAs). At our new aged 
residential care sites these premium 
rooms are called care suites and they 
are all licensed under ORAs. Each care 
suite has its own kitchenette and seating 
area and most have a balcony, so it feels 
more like an apartment than simply a 
bedroom. Our focus on great design, 
and our passion for creating delightful 
customer experiences, ensures that our 
care suite environments do not look 
or feel anything like a traditional rest 
home either. Our design ensures that  
any medical equipment is hidden away, 
and the café, dining area and lounges 
look like an independent living area of  
a retirement village. 

Our executive chef prepares tailored 
meals just the way our residents like it, 
and residents can choose if they want 
to eat in their own suite, or in the dining 
room. We also have dedicated guest 
services roles (like concierges within 
hotels) to help coordinate a resident’s 
diary, ensuring it is full of the things they 
love to do. This guest services function 
also provides an important role liaising 
with friends and families so the resident 
can stay socially connected with both 
their families, and their local community.

Our care suites are all fully certified 
by the Ministry of Health to provide 
aged residential care services from rest 
home to hospital level, meaning that 
the resident does not need to move 
out of the care suite as their needs 
increase. This is a significant advantage 
of the care suite model compared with 
serviced apartments, which are generally 
only certified, at best, to provide low 
levels of care. When the resident within 
a serviced apartment requires higher 
levels of care, they are usually moved 
into a more traditional aged residential 
care centre and, if a premium room is 
chosen, they will pay a PAC every day 
for the remainder of their stay. In some 
cases, the resident may even have to 
move again – a third time – if their needs 
increase from rest home to hospital level 
of care. This is highly undesirable for 
residents at the most vulnerable time  
of their lives. 

In contrast, when a resident moves into 
an Oceania Healthcare care suite, they 
have the peace of mind of having the 
right to remain in their suite and can 
stay in that suite for the duration of their 
time in care without being required to 
move again. Families also find it very 
reassuring to know that there are more 
care staff and registered nurses on hand 
in a care suite environment compared 
with serviced apartments.

Other operators generally offer 
their retirement village residents a 
“free” transfer from an independent 
living unit to a serviced apartment 
when the resident needs additional 
living assistance. When that resident 
subsequently requires a higher level  
of care, the resident will usually be 
moved into an aged care centre.  
At that point, they will pay for a premium 
room (by way of a PAC). In contrast, 
Oceania Healthcare village residents 
remain in their independent living unit 
slightly longer, receiving some daily 
assistance if required (provided by 
the DHB or otherwise), and when their 
needs increase to rest home level, they 
move only once into their “forever” care 
suite, enjoying the incredible living 
environment and highest standards of 
service seen anywhere in New Zealand.

Thomas Kingham 
New Meadowbank resident

“We looked around at so many 
places, but Meadowbank’s Care 
Suites stood out as the best 
by a long way,” says resident 
Thomas Kingham. “It doesn’t 
feel like a hospital at all and the 
standard of care and service 
here are second to none.” 

“Just after I moved into 
Meadowbank, the Guest 
Services Manager put on a 
welcome event for me,” says 
Thomas. “She invited my sister 
and her family, as well as a few 
friends, so they could meet 
everyone.” 

“The food is amazing and the 
chef’s just great,” says Thomas. 
“He makes a fantastic hotpot - 
that’s my absolute favourite.” 

And, Thomas knows all the little 
things are taken care of. “It’s 
great having the Guest Services 
Manager to help me make the 
most of my days. I feel better 
than I have done in years.”

Thomas is delighted to continue 
doing the things he loves. “The 
Guest Services Manager even 
arranged for my friends from 
Remuera Bridge Club to come 
to Meadowbank and play with 
me,” he says. “There’s a lot to 
keep me occupied and living 
the way that I’m used to.”

Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019Developments and design

Our development team knows the 
importance of getting all of the design 
detail right. It is often the attention we 
give to the small things that make living 
and working in the places we build 
even more enjoyable for residents, their 
families and our staff.

Residents in our care have told us that 
they want their living spaces to feel 
more like home. They told us that seeing 
hoists and wheelchairs in the corridors 
made them feel like they were living in 
a hospital. Through close collaboration 
with the nursing team, our designers 
were able to build care suites where all 
medical equipment is stored out of plain 
sight, and yet is still handy for our staff. 

The design team are key catalysts for us 
to be able to delight our residents. As 
an example, the designers helped create 
a more social vibe in our dining rooms. 
Traditionally care centre dining rooms 
use vinyl on the floor, but this surface 
tends to bounce noise around the room 
making conversation difficult.

The design team researched many 
flooring options and worked with 
manufacturers globally to solve the 
problem. We now specify a high-tech 
carpet that is very easy to clean, to 
create a warm and inviting space for 
residents and their families to get 
together over a meal.

Our apartment residents also appreciate 
the value of good design - whether it 
is the encloseable glass balconies, the 
wide apartment corridors, the full height 
bedroom windows, or simply wardrobes 
that do not feel flimsy – these quality 
details set us apart from other operators.

Our passion for getting it right drives us 
to design and build products that are 
stylish, suitable, and highly valued by our 
residents. A focus on great design plays 
a big part in enabling our residents to 
enjoy living well, for longer.

We are incredibly passionate about creating 
delightful dining experiences for our residents at

dining, our residents look forward with anticipation 
to one of the many highlights of their day. It is a way 
for them to share time with friends and family, and it 
fulfils and nourishes the body and soul.

OUR VALUE OUTCOMES

Oceania Healthcare’s famous 
lamb hotpot with crispy pastry  
top and minted pea puree.

Similarly, everyone loved fish and chips 
on a Friday, but it absolutely has to be 
made with fresh fish! So we searched for 
new suppliers who could deliver fresh 
fish, just on time, across all our sites 
nationwide. The extra effort we put into 
getting this right was all worth it when 
we saw just how delighted the residents 
were to be served fresh, tasty beer 
battered fish and chips each week”.

“I was very proud and humbled this 
year when Oceania Healthcare received 
the Excellence in Food award at the 
New Zealand Aged Care Association 
conference and was also a medallist at 
the Senior Lifestyle Cuisine competition. 
Winning these awards proves that 
Oceania Healthcare is an innovator in 
this industry and this helps to attract 
executive chefs who may not have 
previously thought of food in aged care 
as being so exciting, challenging and 
rewarding to create”.

Vincent spends most of his time 
upskilling the culinary team across 
Oceania Healthcare and working 
with them to create warm and inviting 
dining experiences. He also works 
with our development team designing 
kitchens for our new sites as we look to 
reach even greater standards to delight 
our residents. 

Fabulous food experiences start  
with a team of executive chefs across 
New Zealand who are highly talented, 
experienced and know about creating 
food for our residents that not only 
tastes great, but it looks good and is 
served in a high quality environment that 
you’d expect in any restaurant. Over 90% 
of our culinary teams across Oceania 
Healthcare’s care sites are now led by 
qualified executive chefs, who show real 
heart in serving their residents.

This year we appointed a National 
Culinary Manager, who supports our 
teams and champions them to deliver 
dining experiences that create a real 
point of difference for our business. 
Vincent Marshall has been a chef for 
25 years and has worked around the 
world, even cooking for the Queen! 
He has gathered our residents’ 
favourite recipes across the country, 
held workshops with the culinary teams, 
and created new menus that included 
both old favourites as well as delightful 
new dishes that make the most of fresh, 
seasonal ingredients. 

“This was a really fun process to lead. 
Our residents were just great as they 
shared stories and memories of why 
recipes were special to them. For 
example, our chefs knew that lamb stew 
was an absolute favourite, so we put 
together a lamb hotpot with a crispy 
pastry top and a minted pea puree 
recipe, which is a modern twist on it – 
and our residents loved it.

OUR VALUE OUTCOMES

Developing great leaders 

We are passionate about our people and support 
their learning and development at all levels.  
The many national awards we have won for our  
in-house training programmes, and the quality of 
our teams, is testimony to the investment we put 
into helping our people reach their full potential.

Our Step-Up for Leaders programme, 
launched in 2017, is designed to empower 
our managers, clinical leaders and 
registered nurses to be better leaders. 
We know that when our people are well 
led, teamwork is more effective, staff are 
more engaged and aligned to our vision 
and values, and delivery of services to 
our residents is of a higher standard. 

Step-Up for Leaders is an incredible 
programme that takes people through 
a six month journey of personal learning 
experiences and group workshops.  
To date, 75% of our managers, 86% of our 
clinical leaders and our first four cohorts 
of registered nurses have completed 
the programme. The programme is 
transforming the leadership capability 
of our managers which is enabling them 
to deliver strategy more effectively 
within their sites through greater staff 
engagement. 

These testimonies show the 
extraordinary impact that Step-Up has 
had on participants, both within the 
workplace and to their overall wellbeing:

“ The distinction between managing 
and leading a team showed me that 
I needed to be there to support and 
coach my staff more frequently, 
rather than step-in and do the job 
myself. I learnt that leadership is a 
mindset and that hard-wiring of my 
brain from previous experiences 
impacts my approach to problem 
solving, motivating others and 
collaboration. I now realise that a 
growth mindset allows me greater 
freedom in my role as Clinical 
Manager, and this has facilitated 
change and a new perspective 
on my role as a leader. I found 
my approach has become more 
solution orientated and I now 
encourage staff to contribute 
solutions rather than them 
frequently looking to me to solve 
their problems. Since completing 
the course, I have an easier 
relationship with staff and a greater 
confidence to lead.”

“ The programme has taught me so 
much about myself, my leadership 
style, and my approach to work. 
I enjoy my job so much more 
and have a better understanding 
of people. Both my Clinical 
Leaders have also benefited from 
participating in the programme, 
and one in particular, is a lot more 
productive at work. She felt like 
she didn't have enough time to get 
everything done and now using the 
tools she learnt on the programme, 
she is better at prioritising her 
work and can spend more time 
with our residents. I have enjoyed 
how our relationship has grown – 
we now plan together, and have 
more effective conversations. She 
used to shy away from challenging 
conversations with her staff, but 
now she addresses these issues  
in a confident and respectful way. 
I'm so proud of how she has grown, 
she’s doing an amazing job."

“ This programme has dramatically 
changed the way I lead. I feel more 
confident and calmer in my role.  
It gave me the tools to focus on the 
vision for Heretaunga and helped 
me to prioritise my day to focus 
on what is important. I used to get 
pulled into a lot of ‘drama’, now I 
have the skills to successfully coach 
people to find their own solutions. 
This has been empowering and 
motivating for my team, who now 
feel they have more control over 
their work. It has also freed up a lot 
of my time, which means I spend 
more time with our residents and 
their families.”

Going digital to improve care

We pride ourselves on the capability of our people 
and the quality of care we provide our residents. 
We understand that our residents, their families  
and the DHBs place a lot of trust in us. 

With these high expectations comes the 
need to continuously innovate and seek 
ways to improve the way that we deliver 
care and services. 

Over the past year we have commenced 
the implementation of a new resident 
management system, e-Case, with six 
sites now “live” on the new system.  
The benefits of moving to a digital 
system over a traditional paper-based 
system have been immediate with 
improved visibility of clinical indicators 
and performance for our clinical quality 
teams, providing greater assurance that 
our residents are receiving the very best 
care at all times.

We piloted e-Case at Meadowbank in 
Auckland where April Ladia is the Clinical 
Manager. Her team was happy to be the 
test site for this very important project. 

“Having a clinical information system 
has helped me manage my team of 
nurses and healthcare assistants more 
productively. Information is captured in 
real time about the care that needs to be 
provided and we spend less time at our 
nurses’ station writing notes and more 
time with our residents”.

“We had some staff who had very basic 
computer skills in the beginning but they 
are now glad they’ve learnt”. 

“It has improved the wellbeing of our 
residents by enabling our team to 
spend more time with them. Tasks are 
prompted including what is required 
if there are any changes in the health 
of our residents. The families are very 
happy that our staff are closer to the 
daily needs of our residents.”

These sentiments are echoed by  
her team. 

Joseph, a registered nurse at 
Meadowbank, has recently joined our 
dedicated project implementation team 
to provide training and support as we 
implement e-Case at our other sites 
throughout the country.

“Nurses love the new system. Before 
when we went about our daily tasks, 
we had a single copy of each resident’s 
notes. Now we don’t have to wait for 
access to a paper file and instead can 
check and measure a resident’s progress 
while we are with them in their care suite. 
Multiple staff can update the resident’s 
record without having to wait. I’m 
therefore now able to spend a lot more 
time with my residents and their families.”

April Ladia  
(and Meadowbank resident) 
Clinical Manager

Our new resident  
management system allows 
staff to spend more time 
focusing on the resident  
rather than on paperwork.

1   Underlying net profit after tax for May 2017 has been adjusted to remove the impact of transaction and offer costs incurred for 

the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and includes an estimate of listed company costs. Further, as the proceeds of the IPO were used 
substantially to repay debt facilities an adjustment has also been made to reflect the interest expenses that would have been incurred 
had a listed capital structure been in place from the start of the financial year.

2  This is a non-GAAP measure, see note 2.1 in the financial statements for further details.

3   Underlying net profit after tax - continuing operations contains a pro forma adjustment that excludes the earnings from sites divested 

in 1HY2019.

4  Average annual occupancy in relation to sites not under development or conversion.

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, assets held for sale and cash flow hedges. 

(iv) Going Concern Basis of Accounting 

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

(v) Key Estimates and Judgements 

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

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The accounting estimates may not 
equal the actual results. Estimates and judgements are periodically evaluated and are based on historical 
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable 
under the circumstances. 

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 (note 3) 

–  Fair value of freehold land and buildings (note 3.2) 

–  Revenue recognition of deferred management fees (note 3.3) 

–  Recognition of deferred tax (note 5.1)

Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019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 Presentational Currency 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars which is the Company’s 
functional and the Group’s presentational currency. Unless otherwise stated the consolidated financial 
statements are presented in round thousands of dollars. The use of $m signifies millions of dollars. 

(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 any GST that can be claimed. GST is only deductible 
by the Group to the extent that it relates to care operations. 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. 

(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 their fair value.

1.3  Significant Events and Transactions

The financial position and performance of the Group were affected by the following events and transactions 
during the year to 31 May 2019:

–   Disposals – five facilities were sold during the year resulting in a gain of $0.6m within the care segment  

(net of goodwill disposal of $1.6m) recognised in other income in the Consolidated Statement of 
Comprehensive Income (note 3.2).

–   Recognition of tax on deferred management fee (“DMF”) revenue – during the period there was a change 

in the timing of recognition of DMF income for tax purposes (note 5.1).

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 not by operating segment. 

The Group operates in New Zealand and comprises three segments; care operations, village operations 
and other.

The Group derives 
Operating Revenue from 
the provision of care and 
accommodation. The daily 
fee is set annually by the 
Ministry of Health. 

In relation to the provision 
of superior accommodation 
above the Government 
specification the Group 
derives revenue from 
Premium Accommodation 
Charges (“PACs”) or, in  
the  case of care suites, 
through DMF.

Operating Expenses 
primarily include staff 
costs, resident welfare 
expenses and overheads.

Fair value increases or 
decreases are recognised 
in other comprehensive 
income (i.e. not in profit 
or loss) for the fair value 
movement above historic 
cost.

Impairments below  
historic cost are recognised 
in comprehensive income  
(i.e. profit or loss).

Assets include intangibles 
(e.g. software).

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”), which is the most relevant measure in evaluating the performance of segments 
relative to other entities that operate within the aged care and retirement village industries. 

Additional segmental reporting information 

Capital expenditure: Refer to notes 3.1 and 3.2 for details on capital expenditure. 

Goodwill: Goodwill is allocated to care cash generating units. 

What is Total Comprehensive Income?

Total comprehensive income is a measure of the total performance of all segments under NZ GAAP. 
It includes fair value movements relating to the Group’s care centres and cash flow hedges.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019Underlying Net Profit after tax (“Underlying Profit”)

Underlying Profit is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance and considered in the determination 
of dividends. The calculation of Underlying Profit requires a methodology and a number of estimates to 
be approved by the Directors in their preparation. Both the methodology and the estimates may differ 
among companies in the retirement village sector. Underlying Profit does not represent cash flow generated 
during the period. 

The Group calculates Underlying Profit by making the following adjustments to reported Net Profit after Tax:

assets) and cash flow hedges and impairment / reversal of impairment of property, plant

Underlying EBITDA

Following the sale of certain assets during the 12 months to 31 May 2019 the definition of Underlying Profit 
has been adjusted to exclude any gain or loss on the sale of assets. 

Resale gain – underlying profit

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” (the contractual period in which the resident can 
cancel the contract) or where the resident is in occupation at balance date.

Development margin – underlying profit

The Directors’ estimate of realised development margin is calculated as the ORA licence payment 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. 

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

51

2.1  Operating Segments (continued)

The Directors’ estimate of realised 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 has either “cooled off” 
or where the resident is in occupation at balance date, and the associated conversion costs. 

The below table describes the composition of development and conversion costs.

Included

New builds:

–   the construction costs directly attributable to the relevant project, including any required 
infrastructure (e.g. roads) 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 prorated 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 centre 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.

Conversions:

–  of care beds to care suites - the actual refurbishment costs incurred; and

–   of rental units to ORA units - the actual refurbishment costs incurred and the fair value 

of the rental unit prior to conversion.

Excluded

–   Construction, land (apportioned on a gross floor area basis) and interest 
costs associated with common areas and amenities or any operational or 
administrative areas.

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

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

Accounting Policy 

On 1 June 2018, the Group adopted NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (“NZ IFRS 15”). 
The Group has determined that the new accounting standard has not resulted in a change to either the 
recognition or measurement of revenue and therefore there is no requirement to restate revenue reported in 
prior periods. Deferred management fees and rental income are considered leases under NZ IAS 17 Leases 
and NZ IFRS 16 Leases (“NZ IFRS 16”) after its adoption from 1 June 2019 and are therefore excluded from the 
scope of NZ IFRS 15. None of the Group’s revenue, as defined by NZ IFRS 15, contains significant financing 
components. 

Rest Home and Hospital Service Fees 

A contract is in place with all care residents by means of an admission agreement. The resident receives 
the benefit as the care is administered and each resident incurs a contracted daily care fee set by the 
Government each year. Rest home and hospital service fees are recognised at the point in time the services 
are rendered which is specifically linked to the day the service is delivered. Where applicable these are 
recognised net of any associated rebates to residents.

Aged care subsidies received from the Ministry of Health, included in rest home, hospital and dementia fee 
revenue within the care segment, amounted to $101.0m (2018: $101.0m).

Premium Accommodation Charges

Premium accommodation charges are payable by residents who occupy a premium room above the level 
specified by the Government. The charge is included in their admission agreement and the charge is 
recognised when the accommodation is provided.

Deferred Management Fees 

Deferred management fees are considered leases and are payable by residents of the Group's units, 
apartments and care suites under the terms of their ORA or unit title rights. See note 3.3. 

Management fees are typically payable on termination of the ORA 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 longer of the term specified in 
a resident's ORA or the average expected occupancy for the relevant accommodation which is 7 years for 
units, 5 years for apartments and 3 years for care suites from the date of occupation. Estimates of deferred 
management fee tenure are reviewed periodically. Where a change is made, 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019Village Service Fees 

Village service fees are charged to residents to recover a portion of village operating costs associated with 
services provided including staff wages, rates, and electricity. An ORA is in place with all village residents 
who receive the benefit of services throughout their stay. Village service fees are recognised over time as 
services are rendered.

Training Income 

Training income is received from students attending short term training courses at the Wesley Institute of 
Learning. Income is recognised when the course is provided. 

Rental Income 

Rental agreements are in place with all rental residents and set out the relevant weekly / monthly rental fee. 
The resident receives the benefit throughout their stay and revenue is recognised as it is earned.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 20193.  Property Assets

The Group operates care centres and retirement villages. As outlined in section 2.1, village sites are typically 
investment property and care sites are typically property, plant and equipment. 

What is Investment Property?

Land and buildings are classified as investment property when they are held to generate revenue either 
through capital appreciation or through rental income. 

As residents occupying our retirement villages live independently, the level of services provided is  
seen as secondary to the provision of accommodation. Accordingly, these buildings are classified as  
investment property as they are held primarily to generate DMF income.

What is Property, Plant and Equipment?

Land, buildings and chattels are classified as property, plant and equipment when they are used to  
generate revenue through the provision of goods and services or for administration purposes. 

As residents occupying our care centres, including care suites, require services including nursing care,  
meals and laundry the buildings in which they live are considered to be operated by the Group to  
generate this revenue and are classified as property, plant and equipment.

What is a Care Suite?

Care suites are a premium offering for a resident requiring rest home or hospital level care. The care suite  
is located within a care centre. Rather than pay a daily premium accommodation charge for the provision  
of the premium room the residents enter into an ORA with a net management fee.

Classification of Serviced Apartments and Care Suites

Where services are provided to residents who occupy accommodation under an ORA, it is the Group’s policy 
to assess their level of significance in the context of the overall income derived from the serviced apartment 
or care suite in ascertaining whether the serviced apartment or care suite is freehold land and buildings 
(referred to as property, plant and equipment) or investment property.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 20193.1  Village Assets: Investment Property

Accounting Policy 

Investment property includes both freehold land and buildings and land and buildings under development, 
comprising independent units, 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. Investment property is held at fair value. 

The fair value of investment property is determined by the Directors having taken into consideration the 
valuation conducted by CBRE Limited as an independent registered valuer and the cost of work undertaken 
in relation to investment property under development, whereas previously the fair value of investment 
property was held at the CBRE Limited valuation plus the cost of work undertaken in relation to investment 
property under development.

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 investment 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 carrying amount is considered to be the fair value of the land plus the cost of 
work undertaken.

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 $1.5m (2018: $3.0m) 
is included in the above reconciliation to reflect this.

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. 

Why do we adjust for the liability to residents?

In the CBRE Limited valuation the fair value of investment property includes an allowance for the  
amount that is payable by the Group to residents already in occupation within the property. However, 
this liability to existing residents is recognised in the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet (referred to as 
refundable occupation right agreements – see note 3.3). Accordingly, the Group adds this net liability 
to residents to the CBRE Limited valuation to “gross up” the fair value of investment property and avoid 
double counting the liability to residents. 

Valuation Process and Key Inputs

Investment Property under Development

CBRE Limited provided valuations of development land in respect of investment property under 
development as at 30 April 2019. 

The Directors do not judge there to have been a material movement in the adopted land value between  
30 April 2019 and 31 May 2019 and therefore no adjustment has been made to this value. Any costs incurred 
to 31 May 2019 on the developments are included in arriving at the 31 May 2019 fair value.

60

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019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 the Directors’ valuation plus the cost of any work 
in progress. An amount of $33.5m as at 31 May 2019 (2018: $31.1m) 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. 

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 per the Directors’ valuation 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. 

Completed Investment Property

The fair value of completed investment property includes the right to use asset under a finance lease 
(Everil Orr per below). 

As required by NZ IAS 40 Investment Property, the valuation of investment property is adjusted for cash 
flows relating to refundable occupation licence payments, residents’ share of resale gains and management 
fees receivable recognised separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and also reflected in the valuation 
model.

The Group's interest in all completed investment property was valued on 30 April 2019 by CBRE Limited 
(2018: 30 April 2018 by CBRE Limited), at a total of $403.2m (2018: $332.1m). The CBRE Limited valuation 
has been adjusted downwards by management for the impact of any sale, resale and repurchase of 
ORAs between 1 May 2019 and 31 May 2019 of $23.0m (2018: adjusted downwards by $20.0m), with a 
corresponding increase in refundable occupation licence payments of $34.0m (2018: $23.9m), to arrive  
at the fair value of completed investment properties at 31 May 2019. 

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 30 April 2018 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. As at 31 May 2019 all weather tightness issues have been addressed and as such  
no allowance has been made in the 30 April 2019 valuation (2018: allowance of $1.1m).

Lease of Investment Property

The Group leases one site, Everil Orr, which meets the definition of investment property. The site 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 (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 2019. The valuation has been adjusted by management for the impact of any sale of ORAs between  
1 May 2019 and 31 May 2019 to arrive at the fair value as at 31 May 2019 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 2019 in respect of this leased site is $14.0m  
(2018: $7.7m). It is included within completed investment property above.

61

3.1  Village Assets: Investment Property (continued)

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 3.2 for details of assets held for sale as at 31 May 2018 but settled during the year  
to 31 May 2019.

Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

All investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (2018: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy as  
the fair value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group’s development land is 
the value per m2 assumption. Increases in the value per m2 rate result in corresponding increases in the 
total valuation.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Group's portfolio of completed 
investment property are the discount rate and property price growth rate. 

The following assumptions have been used to determine fair value:

A significant increase/ (decrease) in the ingoing price (as driven by the property growth rates) would

3.2 Care Assets: Property, Plant and Equipment

Accounting Policy 

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, care suites and land and buildings that 
are to be developed into care centres in the future.

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 to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the assets’ fair value at balance 
date. Any depreciation at the date of valuation is deducted from 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.

In relation to land and buildings under development, fair value is determined by the Directors having  
taken into consideration the valuation conducted by CBRE Limited as an independent registered valuer and  
the cost of work undertaken, whereas previously the fair value was held at CBRE Limited valuation plus the 
cost of work undertaken in relation to land and buildings under development.

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 above cost are credited to the 
asset revaluation reserve in other comprehensive income; increases that offset previous decreases taken 
through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same 
asset are charged against the asset revaluation reserve in other comprehensive income; all other decreases 
are charged to profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, or held for sale, the amounts included in the 
reserve are transferred to retained earnings. 

63

3.2 Care Assets: Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

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

Useful Life Range

– Freehold buildings

10 - 50 years

–  Chattels and leasehold improvements

  2 - 50 years

– Motor vehicles

  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 the 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.

Land and Buildings Under Development

A valuation in respect of development land was provided by CBRE Limited as at 30 April 2019. The Directors  
do not judge there to have been material movement in the land value between 30 April 2019 and 31 May 
2019 and therefore no adjustment has been made to this value. Any costs incurred to 31 May 2019 on the 
developments are included in arriving at the 31 May 2019 fair value. 

The Group has applied the following methodology in relation to the measurement of land and buildings 
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 the Directors’ valuation plus the cost of any work in 
progress. An amount of $13.5m as at 31 May 2019 (2018: $26.0m) 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. 

65

3.2 Care Assets: Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

Practical completion achieved

Where a development is practically completed, or likely to be completed at, or close to, balance date the land 
and buildings are measured at its completed fair value per the Directors’ valuation 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 land and buildings. 

Completed Land and Buildings

Independent valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not 
differ materially from the asset’s fair value at the balance date. The Group’s previous valuation was completed 
on 31 May 2017 and therefore the Directors determined an independent valuation should be sought as at  
30 April 2019. 

This valuation was undertaken by independent registered valuer CBRE Limited (2018: No independent 
valuation). The valuation of the Group’s care centres was apportioned to land, improvements, chattels and 
goodwill. The fair value of land and buildings as calculated by CBRE Limited is based on the level of rent able 
to be generated from the maintainable net cash flow of the site subject to average efficient management. The 
fair value of the Group’s land and buildings as determined by the Directors is based on these apportionments. 
However, chattels are carried at historic cost less depreciation and the amount apportioned to goodwill by 
CBRE Limited is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The CBRE Limited valuation included 
$20.6m of goodwill (2018: $48.0m) in respect of completed land and buildings. 

In arriving at fair value of freehold land and buildings as at 31 May 2019, the 30 April 2019 valuation has been 
adjusted, in the case of freehold land and buildings under development, for any work in progress incurred 
between 1 May and 31 May 2019 (2018: 31 May 2017 valuation adjusted for amounts recognised between  
1 June 2017 and 31 May 2018). 

The CBRE Limited valuation used in the determination of 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. Further, 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. As at 31 May 2019 all weather tightness issues have been addressed and as 
such no allowance has been made in the 30 April 2019 valuation.

Care Suites and Serviced Apartments

As discussed earlier in note 3, where services are provided to residents who occupy accommodation 
under an ORA, it is the Group’s policy to look at the significance of these services in the context of the 
overall revenue derived from the care suite or serviced apartment in ascertaining whether the care suite or 
serviced apartment is property, plant and equipment or investment property. Care suite residents occupying 
accommodation under an ORA receive a significant level of services. Hence they are included in property, 
plant and equipment. Care suite land and buildings are held at fair value. 

Now that care suites are an established product, the valuer has performed a review of the valuation 
methodology with the outcome that the value of all cash flows associated with the ORA have been allocated 
to freehold land and buildings. This has resulted in a reduction in the level of goodwill in CBRE Limited’s 
apportionment relating to care suites, see note 5.2. The treatment of the cashflows under the daily care fees 
remain unchanged. These continue to be apportioned to land, buildings, chattels and goodwill in the same 
manner as traditional care beds.

Where a site is in its first year of operation, the Directors assess the appropriateness of the fair value  
of care suites by taking into consideration the CBRE Limited valuation and also more conservative  
operating assumptions.

The CBRE Limited valuation includes $0.4m of goodwill (2018: $13.6m). This goodwill is not recognised in the 
consolidated financial statements. 

Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

All land and buildings have been determined to be Level 3 (2018: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy as the fair 
value is determined using inputs that are unobservable. 

Critical Judgements and Estimates in Applying Accounting Policies

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 for further information.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019Valuation of Freehold Land and Buildings

The valuation approach for the freehold land and buildings as at 30 April 2019 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 30 April 2019 valuation range from 11.0% to 17.8% with 
a median value of 13.4% (31 May 2017: 10.0% to 18.5% with 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 development land  
is the value per m2 assumption. Increases in the value per m2 rate result in corresponding increases in the 
total valuation.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group's portfolio of completed 
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 measured 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 were reclassified for reporting purposes and held 
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at $19.7m which was the lower of their fair value less costs to sell and 
their carrying amount at that time. The revaluation reserve totalling $3.7m in respect of the properties held 
for sale was reclassified to retained earnings on reclassification of the properties to held for sale.

On 27 September 2018 the sale of these properties was settled and funds of $19.7m received. These funds 
were applied to the bank borrowings of the Group. A net gain of $0.6m has been recognised as other income 
in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (representing a gain on the carrying value of assets 
held for sale of $2.2m, offset by the derecognition of goodwill associated with these assets of $1.6m). Further, 
the remaining revaluation reserve in respect of these sites (of $0.7m) has been reclassified to retained earnings.

Finance Leases 

The Group leases various equipment and motor vehicles under finance lease agreements. The lease terms  
are between 3 and 6 years and have a net book value as at 31 May 2019 of $5.2m (2018: $6.6m). Refer to  
note 5.7 for the impact of NZ IFRS 16 Leases which is to be adopted on 1 June 2019.

3.3 Refundable Occupation Right Agreements

What’s an ORA? 

An ORA is a contract which sets out the terms and conditions of occupation of an independent living unit 
or care suite. 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. On termination of the ORA the 
occupation licence payment is repaid to the exiting resident.

What’s DMF?

An amount equal to a capped percentage of the occupation 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.

68

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019Accounting Policy 

The occupation licence payment becomes payable when the ORA is unconditional and has either “cooled 
off” or where the resident is in occupation. 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. 

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 longer 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 (2018: 7yrs, 5yrs, 3yrs). 

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 ORA or unit title arrangement 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.

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.

All ordinary shares are authorised and rank equally with one vote attached to each fully paid ordinary share. 
The shares have no par value. The Company incurred no transaction costs issuing shares during the year 
(2018: nil).

During the year an amount of $1.3m was recognised in equity in respect of 2,730,772 shares which had 
previously vested but for which the loan was repaid in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Long Term 
Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), see note 4.3 for further details.

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. 

The shares issued for the LTIP are classified as Treasury Shares as the Company has a beneficial interest in 
the 3,164,556 shares until the vesting conditions are met. Refer note 4.3.

Dividends

On 25 July 2019, a full year dividend of 2.6 cents per share (not imputed) was declared and will be paid on  
26 August 2019. The record date for entitlement is 12 August 2019.

Long Term Incentive Plan

The Company operated two LTIPs for certain members of the Senior Management Team (“the Participants”) 
during the year. The vesting of shares depends upon the satisfaction of performance hurdles.

Under both schemes the Group 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. 

A reconciliation of the share rights on issue is provided below.

The 2015 share plan comprised of 2,730,772 shares. As at 31 May 2018 all shares were fully vested.  
A non-recourse loan representing the amount payable by employees remained with a loan repayment date 
of 31 May 2019. The amount owing of $1.3m was repaid during the period and has been recognised as an 
increase in share capital.

2017 Share Plan 

The 3,164,556 shares in the 2017 share plan are held by OCA Employees Trustee Limited on behalf of the 
Participants and vest on the business day after the consolidated financial statements for the 31 May 2020 
financial year are released. The vesting criterion is the achievement of a minimum Compound Annual Growth 
Rate in Underlying net profit after tax per share of 35.0% per annum over the three year period until  
31 May 2020.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019The Participants are required to be employed by the Group at the vesting dates for the shares to vest. 

A valuation of the scheme as at the grant date 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 2017 plan was determined at $0.143. The expense is spread over the expected vesting 
period of the options and is recognised within retained earnings. For the year to 31 May 2019 the expense was 
$0.1m (2018: $0.1m). 

Employee Share Plan

Subsequent to 31 May 2019 the Group launched an Employee Share Plan. Refer to note 5.9.

Key Estimates and Assumptions

The combined cost for the year is $0.1m (2018: $0.1m) giving a total cost to date of $0.4m (2018: $0.3m).

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.

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. The Group 
has agreed with its banks that the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Net Interest, for the purposes of the 
financial covenants, shall be based on the accounting treatment in use before the introduction of NZ IFRS 16.

Assets Pledged as Security 

The bank loans of the Group are secured by mortgages over the Group’s care facility freehold land and

5.1  Income Tax

What is Current Tax? 

Current tax is an estimate of the tax that is payable to Inland Revenue for the current financial period.

What is Deferred Tax?

Deferred tax is an estimate of income tax that will be payable or recoverable in respect of temporary 
differences relating to the accounting and tax values of the Group’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax 
also includes the value of tax losses that we consider we will use in the future to meet any income tax 
obligation.

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.

Recognition and Measurement 

No income tax was paid or payable during the period (2018: nil).

Key Accounting Judgements

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 comprise two distinct 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. 

78

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019Recognition of Deferred Tax on Deferred Management Fee 

The interpretation of NZ tax laws in relation to DMF involves significant judgements and uncertainty. As at 
31 May 2018, the Group recognised DMF for tax purposes in a manner consistent with the Group’s revenue 
recognition policy. As explained in the 31 May 2018 consolidated annual financial statements, Inland Revenue 
was disputing the tax treatment adopted by the Group in respect of the 2016 income year.

During October 2018, the Group obtained a binding ruling from Inland Revenue, applicable for ORAs entered 
into after 1 June 2018 with certain revisions to the terms and conditions relating to the DMF. Pursuant to this 
ruling DMF revenue is recognised as derived on the exit of a unit or care suite by a resident. On 20 November 
2018, as a result of the binding ruling and associated certainty of the tax position going forward, the Group 
resolved the dispute with Inland Revenue. The Group have included an adjustment in the 31 May 2018 tax 
return to recognise tax on DMF in accordance with the contractual term of the resident’s ORA.

This resulted in the recognition of a tax liability of $6.1m, being the tax effect of the cumulative difference 
between the two treatments of $21.9m. This was fully met by the application of $21.9m of the $64.6m 
available tax losses that had not previously been recognised on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  
A corresponding deferred tax asset of $6.1m was recognised at this point for tax paid on DMF revenue in 
advance of its accounting recognition. A movement of $0.9m has been recognised in the year to 31 May 2019 
resulting in a closing deferred tax asset of $7.1m in respect of DMF revenue.

Recognition of Deferred Tax on Tax Losses

The Company and its subsidiaries exited the former Oceania Healthcare Holdings Limited (”OHHL”) tax 
consolidated group from 31 May 2015. All tax losses incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries until  
31 May 2015 are tax losses of the OHHL consolidated tax group (of which the Group is no longer a member). 

On 5 September 2018 the Group forfeited all losses generated prior to the IPO of the Company as a result 
of the sale of 15.56% of OHHL’s shareholding (refer note 5.5). This resulted in the cessation of shareholder 
continuity. 

The Group also utilised $21.9m of losses to offset additional taxable income arising from the change in 
recognition of DMF revenue as noted above. 

After allowing for the utilisation of losses to offset additional taxable income arising from the change in 
recognition of DMF revenue, the forfeiture of losses generated prior to IPO on 5 September 2018, and taking 
into consideration the new losses generated in the year to 31 May 2019, the Group now has an estimated 
$25.6m (2018: $64.6m) of available tax losses at 31 May 2019. Of these total available tax losses, $12.2m may 
be forfeited in the event of a further sale of shares by OHHL. 

A deferred tax asset totalling $3.8m has been recognised as at 31 May 2019, being the tax effect of the 
remaining $13.4m of tax losses (2018:nil). These are effectively the tax losses generated after 5 September 
2018 which will be retained by the Group in the event of any further sale of shares by OHHL provided there 
are no other significant shareholding changes.

5.2 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 tested at least once annually for impairment at 31 May, and carried at cost less 
accumulated impairment losses. Impairments are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
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).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019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.

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 centres are disclosed in note 3.2. 

The impairment of goodwill as at 31 May 2019 is predominantly due to increases in the fair value of land 
and buildings at sites with care suites. This increase in fair value has resulted in a corresponding impairment 
of goodwill.

See sensitivity analysis relating to freehold land and buildings in note 3.2.

81

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 and are recognised initially at fair value, being its transaction price, plus transaction costs. 
Trade receivables are held with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore they 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, 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 Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies

The Group adopted NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“NZ IFRS 9”) on 1 June 2018. Subsequent to the 
adoption of NZ IFRS 9 the Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses 
which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and requires recognition from initial 
recognition of the trade receivable. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped 
and reviewed on the basis of the number of days since resident departure and the funding stream and type 
of debtor. Judgement is used in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation and is based on past 
history and forward looking assumptions.

The Group has the following financial assets subject to the application of the expected credit loss model: 

–   Trade receivables from care operations for the provision of care fees revenue for rest home and hospital 

fees. These are split between private amounts owed by residents and amounts due from agencies such as 
the Ministry of Health and ACC.

–   Trade receivables from village operations for the provision of weekly service fees and occupation licence 

payment receivables. These are receivable from residents.

The model requires an estimate of the debt to be made on resident admission rather than at the point that 
the debt turns “bad” or “doubtful”. The following details the expected loss rate adopted by the Group based 
on historic impairments and any other known factors with respect to resident departure date.

Application of the NZ IFRS 9 impairment model has not had a material impact on the carrying value of 
expected credit losses. No material impact was noted with respect to the opening provision therefore no 
adjustments have been made to opening balances.

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 2019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 (2018: $0.1m) relating to cash held on behalf of residents. The balance as  
at 31 May 2018 included $7.0m in relation to the purchase of land which has now settled.

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 entitlements 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.

Classification and measurement 

Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those measured at fair 
value through profit and loss, those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income 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. 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 are held at 
amortised cost less a provision for impairment.

Risk management is carried out centrally by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. 
The Directors provide 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 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 Directors 
on a monthly basis. The Directors monitor 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 Directors for consideration and seek Director approval prior to entering into 
any interest rate swaps. 

1   Gregory Tomlinson and Sally Evans were appointed as Directors on 22 March 2018. Their remuneration in FY2018 is for a part 

year only.

It is the Group's policy to manage 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 
the interest rate reserve are transferred out of the reserve 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.

The Group adopted NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“NZ IFRS 9”) on 1 June 2018. For existing swaps the 
Group applied the exemption to continue to apply NZ IAS 39 to swaps which matured on 31 May 2019. From 
this point forward all swaps are accounted for under NZ IFRS 9. After the adoption of NZ IFRS 9 the rules on 
hedge accounting have been amended to align accounting treatment with risk management practices of the 
reporting entity. 

NZ IFRS 9 requires several new disclosures with respect to credit risk, expected credit losses and hedge 
accounting, from the point of time that new hedge arrangements are entered into. 

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 2019, the Group’s interest rate swaps of $100.0m 
had matured. New interest rate swaps of $175.0m have been put in place with an effective date of 1 June 
2019 (with a trade date of 30 April 2019). Of the interest rate swaps in place at 1 June 2019, $175.0m (2018: 
$100.0m) are being used to cover approximately 66% (2018: 61%) 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 a fixed rate. Bank loans of the Group currently bear an average fixed interest 
rate (including margin and line fees) of 4.1% (2018: 4.1%). The fair value of these agreements at 31 May 2019  
is a $2.4m liability. The agreements cover notional amounts for a period of 3 years, 5 years, and 7 years. 

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

5.6 Financial Risk Management (continued)

(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. 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 2019 is AA- (2018: AA-).

The Group’s receivables represent distinct trading relationships with each of the residents. There are no 
concentrations of credit risk with residents. Large receivables generally 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.

termination of the occupation right agreement and subsequent resale of the unit, apartment or care suite. 
The expected maturity of the refundable ORAs is shown in note 3.3. 

(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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 31 May 2019Oceania Healthcare Limited | Annual Report 20195.7 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, 
including: 

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

This standard addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets (cash, trade 
receivables and sundry receivables) and financial liabilities, the impairment of financial assets and hedge 
accounting. See notes 5.3 and 5.6 for further details on its application to the Group.

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

This standard addresses the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The standard is based 
on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good and service transfer 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. See note 2.2 for further details on its application to the 
Group.

(b)  Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not effective for the year 

ended 31 May 2019 and have not been early adopted by the Group

The following relevant standard has not been early adopted by the Group but is to be adopted from 1 June 
2019 which is the Group’s mandatory adoption date.

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

The standard 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 does not change the accounting treatment from the perspective of lessors and the Group 
confirms that it does not expect a change in recognition of rental and DMF income. 

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 2019 
the Group had non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $13.1m under operating leases. Many of 
the Group’s leases relate to leases of low value assets however the Group currently leases three care sites 
and two administrative buildings. The leases will be revalued with the fair value being recognised in the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The impact of recognising these properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheet 
will be material to the Group. 

The Group has established the impact of NZ IFRS 16 with respect to those lease contracts which extend 
beyond 1 June 2019. Work has focused on the identification and understanding of the provisions of 
the standard which will most impact the Group, discount rate determination and the review of system 
requirements. As a result of this review, management have elected to apply the modified retrospective 
approach on adoption. There will be no restatement of comparative amounts for the period prior to first 
adoption. A lease management system was selected during the period and all current leases have been 
loaded to establish the financial impact of adoption. 

The following impacts are noted in the context of 31 May 2019 balances. The tax impact is yet to be assessed.

a)   The straight-line operating lease expense of $1.2m will be removed and a depreciation charge of $2.2m 
(currently $1.4m) and interest expense on lease liabilities of $1.0m (currently $0.5m) will be recognised; 

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 additional right to use assets of 
$5.7m and corresponding additional lease liabilities of $8.7m in respect of leases currently classified as 
operating leases. Total right to use assets and corresponding lease liabilities will be $11.0m and $14.2m 
respectively. This will result in a decrease in opening retained earnings as at 1 June 2019 or approximately 
$3.2m.

The impact on each of these line items is significant, however management do not expect the overall effect 
on net profit attributable to shareholders to be material in future periods. The adoption of NZ IFRS 16 will 
have no impact on net cash flows of the Group.

5.8 Contingencies and Commitments

(a) Contingencies 

At 31 May 2019, the Group had no contingent liabilities or assets (2018: nil).

(b) Capital commitments 

At 31 May 2019, the Group has a number of commitments to develop and construct certain sites totalling 
$106.7m (2018: $104.6m) of which $106.7m (2018: $104.1m) relates to development sites.

(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 5.7 for the impact of NZ IFRS 16 
Leases which is to be adopted on 1 June 2019.

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 with 
stage two completed in May 2019 and a right to use asset was recorded for both stages. A commitment of 
$11.5m (2018: $17.7m) in relation to stage one of the development and $27.2m in relation to stage two in the 
form of future lease payments exists. Lease payment obligations arise as ORAs are sold.

See note 3.1 for further details. 

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. 

See note 5.7 for the impact of NZ IFRS 16 Leases which is to be adopted on 1 June 2019.

Commitments in relation to operating leases are payable as follows:

The above mainly relates to land and buildings leased for the purpose of operating healthcare sites for the 
elderly. The leases vary from 5 year to 30 year terms. Lease rentals are subject to annual increases based on 
Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) movements. 

 (d) Repairs and Maintenance

There are no significant unrecognised contractual obligations entered into for future repairs and maintenance 
at balance date.

Our audit approach 

Overview 

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

Overall Group materiality: $1.9 million, which represents approximately 1% of 
revenue. 

We chose 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 two key audit matters: 

•  Valuation of investment property and 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.

To the shareholders of Oceania Healthcare Limited

Key audit matter 
Valuation of investment property 
and freehold land and buildings 

As disclosed in note 3.1 and 3.2 of the 
consolidated financial statements: 
• 

the Group’s investment property 
portfolio was valued at $881.7 million 
at 31 May 2019 and included completed 
investment property and investment 
property under development.   
the Group’s freehold land and buildings 
were valued at $423.4 million at 31 May 
2019.  This included freehold land and 
buildings operated by the Group for the 
provision of care services, care suites, 
and land and buildings to be developed 
into care facilities in the future 
(together referred to as freehold land 
and buildings). 

The Group’s accounting policy is to 
measure these assets at fair value. 
Independent valuations of all investment 
property and freehold land and buildings 
were carried out by a third party valuer, 
CBRE Limited (the Valuer).  
Completed investment property and care 
suites are recorded in the consolidated 
financial statements at a Directors’ 
valuation which is based on the value 
determined by the Valuer as at 30 April 
2019, adjusted by management for: 
• 

the impact of any sale, resale and 
repurchase of Occupation Right 
Agreements (ORAs) for investment 
property between the date of the 
valuation and 31 May 2019; 
the estimated costs to be incurred to 
complete development of any asset not 
complete at the date of the valuation, 
but valued by the Valuer as if it was 
complete; 
for completed investment property, 
refundable occupation licence 
payments, residents’ share of resale 
gains and management fees receivable 
which are recognised separately on the

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Our audit procedures included the following:  
External valuations 
We read the valuation report and discussed it with 
the Valuer. We assessed the valuation approach and 
confirmed that this was in accordance with the 
relevant accounting standards.  
From our discussions with management and the 
Valuer, and from our review of the valuation report, 
assumptions (as detailed in the description of this 
Key Audit Matter) were made for each individual 
property to reflect its 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.  
Valuation adjustments 
We tested, on a sample basis, the adjustments made 
to the valuations determined by the Valuer as at 30 
April as detailed in the description of this Key Audit 
Matter.  This testing included obtaining signed ORAs 
for a sample of sales and resales and supporting 
documentation for repurchases in May 2019 and 
obtaining quantity surveyors reports to support the 
estimated cost to complete developments at 31 May 
2019.  We also obtained supporting documentation 
for a sample of transactions included in work in 
progress at 31 May 2019.  For sites in their first year 
of operation, we considered the reasonableness of the 
changes made by the Directors to the operating 
assumptions. 
Assumptions and estimates 
Our work over the assumptions focused on the largest 
properties within the portfolio and those properties 
where the assumptions 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 expert to challenge the 
work performed by the Valuer and assess the 
reasonableness of the assumptions used based on 
their knowledge gained from reviewing valuations of 
similar properties, known transactions and available 
market data.

model; 
changes to the operating assumptions

• 

For each completed investment property 
and each care suite, assumptions and 
estimates were made in respect of: 
•  property price growth rate; 
•  stabilised occupancy periods; and 
•  discount rate. 

During the year, the Valuer performed a 
review of the care suite valuation 
methodology to more appropriately reflect 
the apportionment of the overall value 
between freehold land and buildings and 
goodwill.  This resulted in an increase in the 
apportionment to freehold land and 
buildings and a reduction in the level of 
goodwill.  Goodwill impairment of $8.1 
million has been recognised as disclosed in 
note 5.2 of the consolidated financial 
statements. 

Investment property under development 
and land and buildings to be developed into 
care facilities in the future are recorded in 
the consolidated financial statements at a 
Directors’ valuation which is based on a 
range of values determined by the Valuer as 
at 30 April 2019, adjusted by management 
for the cost of any work in progress. 

For each asset under development, 
assumptions and estimates were made in 
respect of the price per square metre of 
land. 

Freehold land and buildings operated by 
the Group for the provision of care services 
are recorded in the consolidated financial 
statements at a Directors’ valuation which 
is based on the value determined by the 
Valuer as at 30 April 2019. 

PwC 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 
We understood the apportionment of the valuations 
to each class of assets and assessed the 
reasonableness of this, as well as the corresponding 
impairment of goodwill, through discussions with the 
Valuer and our in-house expert. 

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 
identified an error in a property valuation or 
determined that the valuation was outside of a 
reasonable range, we evaluated the error or 
difference to determine if there was a material 
misstatement in the consolidated financial 
statements.  

We considered whether there were any events 
subsequent to the date of the Valuer’s report which 
may have caused the valuation of investment 
property and freehold land and buildings to be 
materially different to those determined by the 
Valuer.

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-

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 2019 (and 31 May 2018 for 
the prior comparative period), the gender breakdown of the Directors, officers (as that term is defined in the
