30 June 2020 

Dear Securityholders,

Redcape Hotel Group (“Redcape” or “the Group”) remains 
well positioned to manage through an uncertain economic 
environment with substantial liquidity and a highly 
capable executive team.

Well positioned to deal with uncertainty

A year in three parts 

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our business  
and on the financial results for the year given that most  
of our operations were closed from 23 March 2020 to  
1 June 2020. Our management team did (and continue 
to do) an outstanding job in managing the impact of the 
COVID-19 crisis and reinforced the Board’s view of their 
capability across a wide range of operating environments. 
In difficult circumstances, they successfully reopened the 
business from 1 June 2020. They have seen good customer 
loyalty leading to strong revenue performance – albeit  
with higher costs as they focussed on delivering great 
customer experiences.

The economic environment over the remainder of FY21 
will remain highly uncertain. However, the positioning of 
Redcape’s business together with its capable management 
team means it is well placed to deliver optimal outcomes for 
Securityholders across a range of operating conditions. 

This financial year has seen the Group deliver on its strategy 
for the first eight months, then deal with closure of most of  
its operations in March, and finally recommence operating  
in a very different environment from 1 June 2020. 

In the first eight months of the year to the end of  
February 2020, I am pleased to report that the business 
was performing strongly with like-for-like (LFL) revenue 
growth of 6.1%, Underlying Operating EBITDA up 17.2% 
and Distributable Earnings growing 22.1%. The impact of 
COVID-19 in the last four months of the year meant full  
year performance was significantly affected. For the full  
year, Total Revenue fell by 9.1%, Underlying Operating 
EBITDA declined 14.8% and Distributable Earnings 
were 20.1% lower.

Redcape was delivering on its strategy through to the end 
of February 2020 with a focus on growing Distributable 
Earnings that supported its Distributions, and generating 
future growth through effective portfolio management.  
The Group negotiated the sale of two pubs at premiums1   
to book value and acquired another two pubs generating 
total proceeds of $59.6m2 from the four transactions.

30 June 2020 

With the forced closure of all operations except our bottle 
shops (Off-premise)3 and accommodation at two Venues, 
management acted quickly to ensure it retained access  
to capital, secure the assets and minimise operating losses. 
They also spent considerable time caring for the welfare of 
employees and remained engaged with their customers.

New South Wales venues commenced reopening from  
1 June 2020. Queensland venues commenced reopening 
from 10 June 2020 with gaming operational from 3 July 
2020. The operating focus of the business since reopening 
has been on delivering a high level of customer service 
to build loyalty ahead of what may be a difficult economic 
environment. This has been significantly assisted by the 
digital platform in which the business has invested, giving 
management the capability to remain engaged with its 
customers during the shutdown. This assisted the Group  
to deliver strong revenue performance from 3 July 2020 
when all venues and channels had been reopened. The 
strong return of trade has confirmed our view about the 
resilience of Redcape’s revenue streams when its venues  
are able to operate and is underpinned by the central  
role played by our community focussed pubs.

Optimal performance in an uncertain environment

There remains significant uncertainty about the operating 
environment over the next 12 months. The spread of 
COVID-19 is proving to be unpredictable as are Government 
restrictions in response to increased infection rates, and 
any further economic stimuli. Finally, the response of our 
customers to risks posed by COVID-19 and their decisions 
around spending adds further uncertainty to the economic 
outlook.

Notwithstanding this uncertainty, Redcape is well positioned 
to manage and react to the challenges created by a volatile 
operating environment. It has strong liquidity, a proven  
ability to manage costs and a management team led by  
Dan Brady that brings a wealth of experience across a  
range of operating environments. 

I am confident that as the impact of COVID-19 subsides, 
Redcape’s industry leadership will be enhanced and its 
venues will be even more important community hubs. 
Its disciplined approach to investment combined with  
conservation of its capital during the past year has provided 
the Group with a strong liquidity position that, subject  
to favourable operating conditions, will allow the Group  
to continue with its venue improvement programme and 
target the reinstatement of meaningful distributions.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank 
our existing Securityholders, our employees and the 
communities in which we operate for their continued  
support through what has been a very difficult year.

30 June 2020 

While the volatility of regulatory restrictions exists, we 
remain focussed on optimising our property and operating 
businesses and prioritising our strategy to return to paying 
sustainable distributions to Securityholders. Redcape’s 
performance was tracking ahead of guidance prior to 
March 2020 this year.

COVID-19

Operating Performance 

As the COVID-19 industry wide shutdown commenced, 
Management moved into crisis management mode; we 
secured our cash reserves, ensured ongoing banking 
support, worked to provide meaningful work to as many 
of our people as possible and developed programs to 
ensure our teams remained connected. We enhanced 
communication and engagement, keeping connected  
with our customers through our digital platform.

On the full reopening of all operations on 3 July 2020, we 
focussed on delivering a seamless end-to-end experience 
for our customers that allows them to reconnect to their 
community in a safe manner, approaching health standards 
with genuine care, and allowing for a fulsome hospitality 
experience as we once again look to fulfill our role as 
community hubs. 

In the first eight months of this financial year, LFL Revenue 
growth was up 6.1% and Distributable Earnings were 
up 22.1% against the same period last year. All trading 
departments delivered LFL Revenue growth for this eight 
month period, consistent with the update in February 2020. 
Food and Beverage (On-premise) was up 20.8% reflecting 
changes to the hotel portfolio and the positive effect of prior 
refurbishment programmes.

Underpinning this financial performance was the continued 
improvement in underlying operating metrics of Staff 
Satisfaction (4.1 out of a maximum of 5.0) and Customer 
NPS6 (32 out of a range of -100 to +100). Targets of 4.5 
and 50 respectively ensure there is continued focus on these 
key metrics that are an invaluable tool for managing present 
and future financial performance. 

Upon shutdown in March 2020 when all operations except 
some bottle shops were closed, Redcape went into crisis 
management, focussing on securing the business. This 
started with securing cash and working with our lenders to 
gain variations to the loan agreements, ensuring our work 
force was well informed and kept highly connected, securing 
the properties in shut down and the continued engagement 
with our customers.

ASX:RDCAnnual Report 2020CH I E F E X E CU TIV E  OFFI CE R’ S  R E P ORT  

30 June 2020 

The Group established a new debt facility in September 
2019 with Australia’s four largest banks. Working with 
these banks immediately following shutdown, we agreed 
to a number of variations that ensured debt financing 
certainty through the shutdown. It also included temporary 
amendments to financial covenants that were negatively 
impacted by the closure of our venues. These will revert to 
their original levels once the venues have reopened and the 
business has had time to return to more normalised trading 
conditions. 

Simultaneously, management focussed on supporting staff, 
keeping as many in meaningful employment as possible 
whilst establishing programs and crisis performance metrics 
which aimed to ensure that the ongoing mental health, 
wellbeing and connection of teams remained high. 

Our established technology platform enabled our continued 
high engagement with customers and the development 
of a research panel of known customers to work with us 
on strategies to optimise the customer experience and 
understand community attitudes in a post COVID-19 world.

The financial performance focus also shifted to cash burn 
as management worked to minimise operating costs during 
shutdown. Our initial estimates during shutdown forecast 
operating costs of $3.3m per month, however successful 
cost reduction initiatives and receipt of JobKeeper resulted in 
operating costs prior to reopening on 1 June 2020 tracking 
at $2.4m per month7. 

Portfolio management

We continued active portfolio management in the first eight 
months of the year with four transactions representing a 
total of $136.6m8. Consistent with our prudent management 
of capital, we divested two venues representing $98.1m 
at premiums9 to their book values compared with the 
acquisition of two smaller venues for which we paid $38.5m. 

Eden Brewhouse in Redbank Plains (QLD) is a leasehold 
going concern pub and was acquired for $11.5m in 
December 2019. Kings Head Tavern in South Hurstville 
(NSW) is a freehold going concern pub and was acquired 
for $27.0m in March 2020. Both acquisitions will benefit 
from our platform expertise and refurbishment capability. 

Refurbishments continued up until shutdown at a similar 
pace to last year. Since March 2020, projects have been 
re-prioritised so that in the future, there will be fewer larger 
projects and an increased focus on smaller projects. 

We continue to assess alternate use optionality and asset 
optimisation opportunities across the portfolio with a focus 
on high priority projects. Development planning continues  
at Cabramatta and Keighery Hotel in Auburn.

Vauxhall Inn

Includes JobKeeper of $0.7m per month while in shutdown. This increased to $1.2m in June.

Capital Management

Summary and Outlook

Gearing has decreased to 36.3% from 38.0% at the end 
of last year reflecting a deliberate approach and purposeful 
decision to reduce gearing through portfolio management. 

The value of strong relationships with Australia’s four 
largest banks, established as part of the $500m10 facility 
in September last year, has proven invaluable as we have 
worked through arrangements to provide certainty through 
shutdown and reopening. This facility is repayable in equal 
tranches on 1 September 2022 and 1 September 2024. 
As at 30 June 2020, we had $101.4m of cash and cash 
equivalents as well as $10m of undrawn facilities. 

Directors and Statutory NAV was $1.09 per stapled security 
as at 30 June 2020 ($1.14 at 30 June 2019) reflective of 
Directors decrement of $16.2m and Statutory decline in 
book value of $13.9m.

The performance of the Group in the first eight months  
of this financial year reflected the Group’s continuing  
strong underlying operating performance since listing. 
When the shutdown occurred in March 2020, the depth 
of experience within the management team, with support 
from an experienced Board, enabled the Group to respond 
effectively - securing assets and finance, and staying 
connected and engaged with staff and customers.  
This positioned the Group for an effective staggered 
reopening from 1 June 2020 which saw strong  
community support and profitable operations in June.

Notwithstanding the strong community support and  
resulting revenue recovery in the early stages of re-opening, 
there remains significant regulatory uncertainty about the 
outlook for the next 12 months. We will remain focussed  
on what we can control and that is the strong leadership  
of our people and communities guided by our key  
operating metrics of Staff Satisfaction and Customer  
NPS. A continued supportive operating environment will 
allow us to focus once again on returning sustainable  
distributions to Securityholders.

Directors' report 
30 June 2020 

The directors of the Responsible Entity present their report, together with the financial statements, of the consolidated 
entity (referred to hereafter as 'Redcape' or 'Group') consisting of Redcape Hotel Trust I ('RHT I') and Redcape Hotel Trust 
II ('RHT II') and the entities they controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020. The manager of Redcape 
(‘Trust Manager’ or ‘Management’) is MA Hotel Management Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Moelis Australia Ltd. 

Directors 
The following persons were directors of the Responsible Entity of Redcape for the year ended 30 June 2020 and up to the 
date of this report, unless otherwise stated: 

Mr Nicholas Collishaw 
Mr Daniel Brady 
Mr Andrew Ireland 
Mr David Groves 
Mr Hugh Thomson 

Non-IFRS Disclosures 
The Group utilises non-IFRS financial metrics such as Distributable Earnings in its assessment and presentation of Group 
performance. In particular, the Group references Underlying Operating Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and 
Amortisation (‘Underlying Operating EBITDA‘), Distributable Earnings per Stapled Security and Underlying Net Profit After 
Tax (‘Underlying NPAT’). 

The directors believe the underlying financial and distributable earnings information is useful to users as it: 

●

●

●

reveals the underlying run rate business economics of the Group which enhances the reader’s understanding of past 
performance;
provides insight into Management’s decision making as Management uses these measures to run the business, allocate
resources and make financial, strategic and operating decisions; and
forms the basis of the Group’s annual budgeting and internal forecasting processes.

Underlying NPAT and other financial metrics, such as Distributable Earnings are not prepared in accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards and are not audited. A reconciliation of non-IFRS financial metrics to statutory 
results is provided in the “Review of Operations”. 

Principal activities 
Redcape is an ASX listed, leading Australian hotel business operating a portfolio of 32 hotels across New South Wales 
('NSW') and Queensland ('QLD'). Redcape owns 30 of the 32 hotels it operates. The hotels offer patrons: 
●

Gaming
On-premise food and beverage

Freehold Going Concern ownership gives Redcape the ability to invest in refurbishment opportunities as well as provide

Review of operations 
The statutory profit for Redcape after providing for income tax amounted to $11.2 million (30 June 2019: loss of $4.9 
million). 

During the financial year, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic had a material impact on the Group’s operating 
performance due to the trading restrictions imposed by the Government.  

On 19 March 2020, the Group announced that given the uncertainty in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was 
appropriate to withdraw its guidance for the financial year 2020 and reassess quarterly distributions based on trading 
conditions.  

As a result, the Group did not pay a distribution for the quarter ended 31 March 2020 and as part of closing out the 
financial year ended 30 June 2020, announced a small fourth quarter distribution of 0.31 cents per stapled security taking 
its financial year 2020 distributions to 4.72 cents per stapled security. 

On 22 March 2020, the Federal and State Governments announced new Stage 1 restrictions on social gatherings with all 
pubs closed from midday Monday 23 March 2020. 

Accordingly, Redcape closed its 32 hotels, located in NSW and QLD. Most of the Group’s off-premise retail bottle shop 
outlets, and accommodation at two of its hotels remained open, consistent with regulations in place at the time. As a result 
of the closure of the hotels, the Group stood down most of its employees. Many of these stood down employees were 
subsequently eligible for JobKeeper subsidy. During the stand down period, permanent staff were able to draw upon 
accrued leave entitlements. 

On 25 March 2020, the Group advised the market that it was in compliance with its loan facility terms except for those 
clauses relating to “suspension of business”. On 1 May 2020, the Group announced that it had agreed with its lenders 
requisite waivers the temporary amendment of a number of terms contained within the Group’s loan agreements which 
ensured that it had financial certainty through the Government imposed temporary shutdown of its venues.  

All hotels were re-opened throughout June and as at the date of the Directors report remain open albeit with government-
imposed restrictions. Of note:

26 NSW hotels commenced re-opening from 1 June 2020.
The remaining 6 QLD hotels commenced re-opening from 10 June 2020 (Gaming re-commenced from 3 July 2020).
All off-premise bottle shops (except Eastern Creek, Hermit Park and Crescent) and accommodation at two of its hotels 
traded throughout the forced closure period.

●

Distributable earnings of $37.2 million or 6.73 cents per stapled security (30 June 2019: $46.5 million or 8.80 cents per 
stapled security)
Distributions of $26.1 million or 4.72 cents per stapled security (30 June 2019: $46.3 million or 8.75 cents per stapled 
security)
Underlying Operating EBITDA of $57.1 million (30 June 2019: $67.1 million)
Operating cash flows of $32.9 million (30 June 2019: $36.0 million) includes one-off refinancing establishment costs of
$4.5  million,  hedge  break  costs  of  $3.8  million  and  deferred  State  and  Federal  taxes  of  $15.4  million,  resulting  in 
adjusted operating cash flows of $25.8 million.
Portfolio value  decreased to $1,012.5  million (30 June 2019: $1,077.4 million). The  decline in value reflects the  net
impact of  revaluation  ($13.9 million) comprising $10.2  million loss recognised in asset  revaluation reserve and $3.7 
million loss recognised in income statement; acquisition of 2 hotels $38.5 million; divestment of 2 hotels ($95.4 million); 
capital spend $20.8 million less depreciation ($14.2 million) and assets disposal ($0.7 million)
Statutory and Directors Net Asset Value of $1.09 per stapled security (30 June 2019: $1.14 per stapled security)
Total capital expenditure of $20.8 million (30 June 2019: $25.2 million) of which $15.6 million related to capital growth 
and $5.2 million for capital maintenance
Cash and cash equivalents at year-end of $101.4 million (30 June 2019: $17.0 million) and net debt $388.6 million (30 
June 2019: $419.7 million)

Assistance and support by governments and others 
During the financial year, the Group received government support through the JobKeeper Payment Scheme (‘JobKeeper’). 
JobKeeper is a temporary subsidy for businesses significantly affected by COVID-19, where eligible employers are entitled 
to receive a JobKeeper payment to support the business in ongoing payments to employees. The Group was eligible to 
receive JobKeeper from 30 March 2020. Total JobKeeper subsidy received/receivable from the ATO as at 30 June 2020 
was $4.6 million, with an impact to current year earnings of $2.7 million. The Group is expected to continue receiving 
JobKeeper subsidy payments up to the fortnight ended 27 September 2020.  

In addition to JobKeeper, the Group received payment deferrals of State and other taxes amounting to $15.4 million. These 
amounts are expected to be repaid in full in financial year 2021.

Management strategies and future prospects
Continuing the strategy to optimise sustainable distributions 

The Group is well placed to manage the volatility around COVID-19. It has strong liquidity, demonstrated cost management 
capability, a motivated workforce and supportive customers. It is well positioned should regulatory restrictions be eased 
and conversely, to withstand a more difficult environment where restrictions are tightened. 

Since the return to full operations on 3 July 2020, Redcape has experienced strong revenue performance. Underlying
Operating EBITDA in July 20201 was above July 2019.

The Group is looking to improve the performance-based metrics of Staff Satisfaction and Customer Net Promoter Score 
(‘NPS’) and is targeting the reinstatement of meaningful Distributions in financial year 2021. 

Material business risks
Redcape is subject to a range of factors, both specific to the Group and general in nature which may impact the operating 
and financial performance of the Group. These risks are regularly reviewed for their possible impact. 

Major business disruption events
The Group’s continued success is underpinned by its ability to anticipate, prevent and respond to and recover from events 
which have the potential to prevent the continued operation of the Group’s venues for a sustained period of time. The 
Group’s business continuity framework enables identification of material risks and outlines the response and recovery of 
the business to minimise the impact of a major disruption on the business. 

Regulatory risk
The Group operates in a highly regulated industry, where changes to liquor or gaming licences could significantly impact 
the trading performance and therefore impact EBITDA and long-term profitability of the Group. The Group is unable to
control regulatory changes that may impact on the Group’s venues however this is closely monitored to ensure that any 
potential impacts are mitigated as much as possible.

Redcape Hotel Group comprising Redcape Hotel Trust I and Redcape Hotel Trust IIRedcape Hotel Group 
Directors' report 
30 June 2020 

Financial management 
The ability to maintain financial performance and a strong balance sheet enables the Group to fund future growth 
opportunities on commercially acceptable terms. The Group annually establishes a financial budget which underpin the 
setting of performance targets incorporated in management incentive plans. Financial performance is continuously 
monitored for any variations from annual financial budgets and forecast. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
Other than the matters noted in the “Review of Operations”, there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the 
Group during the financial year. 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has had a material impact for the Group up to 
30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The 
situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by both Federal and State Governments and other 
countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus 
that may be provided. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented uncertainty of the economic environment, in particular the lack of 
market transactions which are ordinarily a strong source of evidence for valuations of Freehold Going Concern properties 
and resultant land valuations. Actual economic events and conditions in future may be materially different from those 
estimated by the Group at the reporting date. In the event the COVID-19 pandemic impacts are more severe or prolonged 
than anticipated, this may have further adverse impacts to the fair value of the Group’s land and Directors valuation. At the 
date of the annual report, an estimate of the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s land and Directors 
valuations cannot be made, as the impact will depend on the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn, with the 
full range of possible effects unknown. 

Further considerations in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic are included in the going concern disclosure in the notes to 
the financial statements (refer note 2 Basis of preparation).  

Other than the above matters, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly 
affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in 
future financial years. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 
Information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of operations have not been 
included in this report because the directors believe it would not be practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or 
negative, after the reporting date.  

Environmental regulation 
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Redcape Hotel Group comprising Redcape Hotel Trust I and Redcape Hotel Trust IIRedcape Hotel Group
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 1. General Information

Reporting Entity

In accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations one of the entities in the stapled structure is required to be identified 
as the parent for the purpose of preparing consolidated financial reports. In accordance with this requirement, RHT II was 
identified as the parent entity. 

Redcape is a for-profit entity and its principal activity is the ownership and operation of hotels. There has been no 
significant change in the nature of the principal activities during the year. 

Responsible Entity

Redcape Hotel Group Management Ltd ('RHGM') is the Responsible Entity of RHT I and RHT II effective 24 October 2018. 

Scheme Registration

RHT I (ARSN 629 354 614) and RHT II (ARSN 629 354 696) are domiciled in Australia and were registered as managed 
investment schemes on 26 October 2018 under the Corporations Act 2001.

Note 2. Basis of preparation 

The Responsible Entity has prepared General Purpose consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 
for the purpose of meeting the listing requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX'). 

Compliance Statement

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as 
appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. Notwithstanding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 
Group is well placed to manage the volatility around COVID-19. It has strong liquidity, demonstrated cost management 
capability, a motivated workforce and supportive customers. It is well positioned should regulatory restrictions be eased 
and conversely, to withstand a more difficult environment where restrictions are tightened. Since the return to full 
operations on 3 July 2020, the Group has experienced strong revenue performance. Underlying Operating EBITDA in July
20204 was above July 2019.

The consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020 was approved by the directors of the 
Responsible Entity on 19 August 2020. 

Comparative figures

During financial year 2020, Redcape modified the classification of certain line items. In the consolidated statement of 
financial position, capitalised borrowing costs have been reclassified from other current assets to non-current liabilities -
borrowings. As a result, the financial statements have been corrected by reclassifying each of the affected financial 
statement line items for the prior period. 

Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following that are measured at fair 
value: 
- land; and
- derivative financial instruments.

The methods used to measure fair values are discussed in the relevant notes.

4 Excludes JobKeeper.

ASX:RDCAnnual Report 2020Redcape Hotel Group
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 2. Basis of preparation (continued)

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Redcape's functional currency and 
amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated, in accordance with ASIC 
Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191.

Use of estimates and judgements 

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying accounting policies. Estimates and judgements affect the 
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from 
these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting 
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

The significant judgements made by management in applying Redcape’s accounting policies and the key sources of 
estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements, except for the new 
significant judgements related to lessee accounting under AASB 16, which are described in note 3.

Note 3. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
Redcape has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to Redcape:

AASB 16 Leases
Redcape has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. AASB 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for 
lessees. As a result, Redcape, as a lessee, has recognised right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying 
assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to 
previous accounting policies.

Redcape has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial 
application is recognised in retained earnings at 1 July 2019. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2019 
has not been restated - i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under AASB 117 and related interpretations. The details 
of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.

(a) Definition of a lease

Previously, Redcape determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under AASB
Interpretation 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. Redcape now assesses whether a contract is or 
contains a lease based on the new definition of a lease. Under AASB 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract 
conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On transition to
AASB 16, Redcape elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are 
leases. It applied AASB 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as
leases under AASB 117 and AASB Interpretation 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under AASB 
16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or exchanged on or after 1 July 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, Redcape allocates the consideration in the 
contract to each lease and non-lease component based of their relative stand-alone prices.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(b) As a lessee 

Redcape leases many assets, including properties and equipment. As a lessee, Redcape previously classified leases as 
operating or finance lease based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and 
rewards of ownership. Under AASB 16, Redcape recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases i.e. 
these leases are on balance sheet. 

However, Redcape has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low-value 
assets (e.g. equipment). Redcape recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term.  

The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets relate to land and building are $23.8 million at 1 July 2019 and $42.2 million at 
30 June 2020. 

(i) Changes in significant accounting policies 

Redcape recognises a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is 
initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and 
adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.  

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement 
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, Redcape’s 
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. 

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by the lease payment 
made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a 
change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under the residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, 
changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a 
termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. 

Redcape has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include 
renewal options. The assessment of whether Redcape is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease 
term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.  

(ii) Transition 

Previously, Redcape classified property leases as operating leases under AASB 117. The leases typically run for a period 
of 15 to 20 years. Some leases include an option to renew the lease for an additional 10 to 15 years after the end of the 
non-cancellable period. Some leases provide for additional rent payments that are based on changes in local price indices. 

At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under AASB 117, lease liabilities were measured at the present 
value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at Redcape’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. Right-of-
use assets are measured at their carrying amount as if AASB 16 had been applied since the commencement date, 
discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. 

Redcape used the following practical expedients when applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified as operating 
leases under AASB 117. 
●

Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease 
term. 
Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

(c) Impacts on financial statements 

(i) Impacts on transition 

On transition to AASB 16, Redcape recognised additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities, recognising 
the difference in retained earnings. The impact on transition is summarised below.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, Redcape discounted lease payments 
using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. The weighted average rate applied is 2.92%.

25,636 

As a result of initially applying AASB 16, in relation to the leases that were previously classified as operating leases, 
Redcape recognised $42.2 million right-of-use assets and $44.9 million of lease liabilities as at 30 June 2020. 

Also in relation to those leases under AASB 16, Redcape has recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead of 
operating lease expense. During the year ended 30 June 2020, Redcape recognised $2.0 million of depreciation charges 
and $0.8 million of interest costs from these leases. 

Cash paid in relation to the leases under AASB16 are separated into a principal portion (presented within the financing 
activities) and interest presented within operating activities). Redcape recognised $1.2 million repayment of leases and 
$0.8 million lease interest paid during the year ended 30 June 2020. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of RHT II as at 30 June 2020 
and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. RHT II and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these 
financial statements as 'Redcape'. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which Redcape has control. Redcape controls an entity when Redcape is exposed 
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on 
which control is transferred to Redcape. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in Redcape are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries align with the policies adopted by Redcape. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration 
transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity 
attributable to the parent. 

Where Redcape loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling 
interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. Redcape recognises the 
fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit 
or loss. 

Operating segments 
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same 
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). Redcape operates wholly within 
one business segment being the ownership and operation of hotels in Australia. 

Revenue recognition 
Redcape recognises revenue as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which Redcape is expected to be entitled in 
exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, Redcape identifies the 
contract with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price which 
takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money, allocates the transaction price to the 
separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be 
delivered and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer 
to the customer of the goods or services promised. 

Variable consideration is not material in the context of Redcape's 'total revenue'. 

Gaming revenue  
Gaming revenue is the net difference between gaming wins and losses and is recognised upon the outcome of the game at 
the close of business. 

Food and beverage revenue (On-premise and Off-premise)  
Food and beverage revenue is recognised at the point in time the goods are provided and payment is collected. 

Accommodation and other services  
Revenue from accommodation and other services are recognised as services are performed. 

Interest 
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. 

Government grants 
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them 
with the costs that they are intended to compensate. 

Income tax 
RHT I 
Under current income tax legislation, RHT I is not liable for income tax provided unit holders are presently entitled to all of 
RHT I’s income at 30 June each year.

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the 
applicable income tax rate, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, 
except for: 
● When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor 
taxable profits; or 

● When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the
timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable 
future. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

RHT II and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax 
consolidation regime, effective July 2017 and are taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity and each 
subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax 
consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of 
taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) 
and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax 
consolidated group. These are recognised as amounts payable to or receivable from other entities in the tax consolidated 
group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amount. 

The members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement which sets out the funding 
obligations of members of the tax consolidated group in respect of tax amounts. The tax funding arrangement requires 
payments to or from the head entity equal to the current tax liability or asset assumed by the head entity and any tax-loss 
deferred tax asset assumed by the head entity. 

The members of the tax consolidated group have also entered into a tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement 
provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default 
on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement 
as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement is considered remote. 

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax RHT II takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and 
whether additional taxes and interest may be due. RHT II believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all 
open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This 
assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New 
information may become available that causes RHT II to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax 
assets and liabilities; such changes to tax assets and liabilities will impact tax expense in the period such a determination is 
made. 

Redcape has tested the recoverability of tax losses in light of recent events and derecognised $1.1 million tax benefit for 
carried forward tax losses as the forecast recoverability period is beyond five years.

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses.  

Redcape has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss 
allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Inventories 
Inventories include food and beverages, these are costed on a weighted average basis and stated at the lower of cost and 
net realisable value.  

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

Derivative financial instruments 
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently 
remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on 
whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. 

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation. 

Cash flow hedges 
Cash flow hedges are used to hedge Redcape's interest rate risk exposures. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the 
hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income through the cash flow hedges reserve in equity, whilst 
the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts taken to equity are transferred out of equity and included in 
the measurement of the hedged transaction when the forecast transaction occurs. 

Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness on a regular basis prospectively to ensure that each hedge is highly effective 
and continues to be designated as a cash flow hedge. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the 
amounts recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss. 

If the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, expires, exercised without replacement or rollover, or if the hedge becomes 
ineffective and is no longer a designated hedge, the amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the 
forecast transaction occurs. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Recognition and measurement 
With the exception of land, all other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets 
includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working 
condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are 
located, and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is 
capitalised as part of that equipment. 

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate 
items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. 

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from 
disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other income in profit or 
loss.

Subsequent costs 
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it 
is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to Redcape, and its cost can be measured 
reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant 
and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 

Depreciation 
Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, 
less its residual value. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 
each part of an item of property, plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption 
of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term 
and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that Redcape will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. 

The estimated useful lives are as follow: 

Freehold buildings 
Property improvements 
Furniture, fittings and equipment 
Software 

 40 - 150 years 
 7 - 40 years 
 7 - 15 years 
 4 - 7 years 

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 
date. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to 
Redcape. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any 
revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits. 

Revaluation 
Land is recognised at fair value based on periodic valuations by external independent valuers and/or six month director 
valuations. 

The valuations are undertaken more frequently if there is a material change in the fair value relative to the carrying amount. 

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land are recognised in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated in other reserves in shareholders’ equity. To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously 
recognised in profit or loss, the increase is first recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that reverse previous increases of 
the same asset are first recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of the remaining surplus attributable to 
the asset; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. 

Right-of-use assets 
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in 
the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, 
and restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful 
life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of 
the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted 
for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with 
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss 
as incurred.

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value 
at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible 
assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are 
subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss 
arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. 
Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation 
method or period. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at 
cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not 
subsequently reversed. 

Gaming licences 
Separately acquired Gaming licences are shown at historical cost. Gaming licences acquired in a business combination 
are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have an indefinite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost 
less accumulated impairment losses. 

Gaming licences are not amortised but tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that they might be impaired, and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 

Liquor licences 
Separately acquired Liquor licences are shown at historical cost. Liquor licences acquired in a business combination are 
recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have an indefinite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less 
accumulated impairment losses. 

Liquor licences are not amortised but tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that they might be impaired, and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 

Impairment 
Non-financial assets 
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested 
annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. 
Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit. 

Financial assets 
Redcape recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at 
amortised cost. Redcape has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade 
receivables. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of Redcape based on recent sales 
experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to Redcape prior to the end of the financial year and 
which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost, are unsecured and are not 
discounted.

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Loans and borrowings 
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Lease liabilities 
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present 
value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease 
or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed 
payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts 
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option 
is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend 
on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured 
if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual 
guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an 
adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use 
asset is fully written down. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Finance costs comprise interest expense on 
borrowings, using the effective interest rate method, and unwinding of the discount on provisions. 

Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when Redcape has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is 
probable Redcape will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the 
obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present 
obligation at the reporting date, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of 
money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the 
provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service 
is provided. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the 
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting 
date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience 
of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the 
reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows. 

Fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the 
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the 
principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its 
highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is 
available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the 
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement. 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge 
and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an 
analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, 
where applicable, with external sources of data. 

Issued capital 
Ordinary stapled securities are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new stapled securities or options are shown in equity as a deduction, 
net of tax, from the proceeds. 

Distributions 
Distributions are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the trust. 

Provision is made for the amount of any distribution declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the 
discretion of the trust, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at the reporting date. 

Business combinations 
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments 
issued, or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at the 
proportionate share of identifiable net assets of the acquiree. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or 
loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, Redcape assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, Redcape's operating or 
accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, Redcape remeasures its previously held equity interest in the 
acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent 
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. 
Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within 
equity. 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment 
in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair 
value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a 
gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and 
measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred 
and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based 
on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement 
period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the 
information possible to determine fair value. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of 
financial position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 

Note 4. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in 
relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates 
and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, which 
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will 
seldom equal the related actual results. These judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next 
financial year are discussed below. 

Valuation of land 
The fair value of land is reviewed regularly by management with reference to external independent valuations, recent offers 
and market conditions existing at reporting date, using generally accepted market practices. The critical assumptions 
underlying management’s estimates of fair value are those relating to the capitalisation rate, adopted earnings, market rent 
assessment and notional fair value of licences and buildings. If there is any change in these assumptions or economic 
conditions, the fair value of the land may differ. Refer to note 33 for additional information about the valuation approach, 
inputs and sensitivities. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented uncertainty of the economic environment, in particular the lack of 
market transactions which are ordinarily a strong source of evidence for valuations of Freehold Going Concern properties 
and resultant land valuations. In the absence of more fulsome market data at 30 June 2020, management have considered 
the impact that COVID-19 may have on estimated yields. Management believe that transaction data may show an 
expansion in capitalisation rates reflective of the impact that shutdown risk may have on future earnings.  

Actual economic events and conditions in future may be materially different from those estimated by the Group at the 
reporting date. In the event the COVID-19 pandemic impacts are more severe or prolonged than anticipated, this may have 
further adverse impacts to the fair value of the Group’s land valuation. 

Fair value measurement hierarchy 
Redcape is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the 
lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in 
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other 
than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 
3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair 
value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.

Note 4. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
Redcape tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill 
and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in 
note 3. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on the higher of fair value less 
costs of disposal and value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated 
discount rates based on the current cost of capital, growth rates of the estimated future cash flows and terminal growth 
rates. Note 18 includes further details of key assumptions used in recoverable amount models related to these assets. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
Redcape assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each 
reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to Redcape and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an 
impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal 
or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. Notes 18 and 33 include 
further details of key assumptions used in recoverable amount models related to these assets. 

Lease term 
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement 
is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the 
underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods 
to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical 
incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease 
commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to Redcape's operations; comparison of 
terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold 
improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. Redcape reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to 
exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in 
circumstances. 

Incremental borrowing rate 
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to 
discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such 
a rate is based on what Redcape estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an 
asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. 

Note 5. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
Redcape operates as one business segment being the owner and/or operator of hotels, and in one geographic segment 
being Australia. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of 
Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in 
determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments. 

The CODM assesses the performance of the operating segment based on a measure of Underlying Operating EBITDA, 
Distributable Earnings per Stapled Security and Underlying NPAT. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to 
the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. 

The information is reported to the CODM on a monthly basis.

(a)   During the year ended 30 June 2020, RHT II utilised $12.9 million of carried forward tax losses, resulting in unutilised 

tax losses of $3.7 million at year end. 

While the Group expects to be able to utilise these tax losses in the future, the  forecast period of recoverability is in 
excess of five years. This has been driven by deduction of prior period IPO and equity raising costs. As such, a deferred 
tax benefit has not been recognised on the carried forward tax losses.

Impairment testing 
(i) Goodwill 

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use (‘VIU’) of the group of cash-generating 
units (‘CGUs’) to which goodwill has been allocated. These calculations reflect an estimated cash flow projection based on 
a five-year forecast and requires the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates, growth rates of estimated 
future cash flows, and terminal growth rates. 

The VIU method used in determining the recoverable amount of the group of CGUs is affected by management’s 
assumptions used in the calculation. A summary of the key assumptions used in the calculation is detailed below. 

Estimated future cash flows in Year 1 are based on a budget that has been approved by the Board. The budget reflects 
forecasted trading performance considering current trading restrictions. The Group is expected to return to trading 
performance pre-COVID restrictions in Year 2. These cash flows are projected for a further three years (i.e. Years 3 to 5) 
based on an annualised growth rate of 3.0% (30 June 2019: 3.0%). The growth rate has been determined with reference to 
historical performance of the Group.  

The discount rates used in the VIU calculations are pre-tax and reflect management’s estimate of the time value of money, 
as well as the risks specific to the Group. The discount rates have been determined using the weighted average cost of 
capital and the current market risk-free rate, adjusted for relevant business risks. Discount rate applied in the current year 
value-in-use model: 7.69% (30 June 2019: 8.10%). 

A terminal growth rate of 2.96% (30 June 2019: 3.0%) has been assumed in the VIU calculation and reflects the long-term 
growth expectations beyond the five-year forecast horizon, considering both industry comparatives and Redcape’s 
consistent outperformance. In light of COVID-19, management have also modelled the impact of a six-month business 
shutdown once every hundred years in the derived outcome of terminal growth rate. 

Management has based the VIU calculations on the historical performance and future prospects of the business as 
reported to the CODM, taking into consideration the like-for-like historical growth and impacts of COVID-19 on current 
trading performance.

Note 18. Non-current assets - intangible assets (continued) 

Sensitivity 
Management believes that based on current economic conditions and Group performance, any reasonably possible 
change in the key assumptions used would not result in the Group’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount and 
result in a material impairment. 

The below table shows the key assumptions used in the VIU calculation and the amount by which each key assumption 
must change in isolation in order for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to its carrying value.

7.69%

2.96% 
1.82% 

(a)   Each rate is determined in isolation. 

The above table excludes growth rates of future cash flows as this key assumption is not sensitive in determining 
impairment of goodwill. Material changes to short-term cash flows do not result in estimated recoverable amount being less 
than its carrying value. 

There has been no impairment recognised in relation to goodwill at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: nil). 

(ii) CGU assets comprising gaming and liquor licences and other non-financial assets 

Gaming and liquor licences 
In accordance with AASB 138, gaming and liquor licences are accounted for at cost. As both gaming and liquor licences 
are not subject to renewal and do not have an expiry date, these are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are 
tested for impairment annually. 

Gaming and liquor licences of $256.3m are allocated across the Group’s 32 hotels, which equates to an average intangible 
asset value of $8.0m per hotel. 

Other non-financial assets 
Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, these assets have been assessed for 
impairment as outlined below. 

Impairment assessment  
Redcape tests assets for impairment at the CGU level being each individual hotel. This is the smallest group of assets that 
independently generate cash flows and whose cash flow is largely independent of the cash flows generated by other 
assets. 

Redcape assesses the recoverable amount of each CGU based on the higher of its fair value less costs to dispose 
('FVLCD') and VIU. The carrying amount of each CGU comprises land at fair value, buildings at cost less accumulated 
depreciation, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation, work in progress and intangibles at cost 
comprising gaming and liquor licences, and right-of-use assets less lease liabilities. At 30 June 2020, FVLCD methodology 
was adopted for 29 hotels and VIU methodology adopted for the remaining 3 hotels. 

FVLCD includes an estimate of the CGU’s fair value and costs of disposal. Each CGU’s fair value is based on the income 
capitalisation method, which is determined with reference to maintainable earnings and adopted yield. Refer to note 33 for 
details of key assumptions used. Costs of disposal is estimated at 2.0% of the hotel’s fair value, which has been 
determined with reference to recent disposals. 

VIU assumptions are consistent with those listed above in relation to goodwill impairment, being discount rate and terminal 
growth rate.

Sensitivity 
Management believes that based on current economic conditions and CGU performance, any reasonably possible change 
in the key assumptions used would not result in the CGU’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount and result in 
a material impairment. 

As the recoverable amount from the FVLCD and/or VIU assessments exceeded the carrying amount for each CGU, no 
impairment loss was recorded (30 June 2019: nil).

Syndicated Bank Facility  
In the prior year, Redcape had a syndicated bank facility which was due to expire on 23 September 2020. The total facility 
amount was $477.0 million (excluding $3.0 million ancillary facility). On 2 September 2019, Redcape refinanced its debt 
facility which resulted in hedge break costs of $3.8 million and capitalised loan establishment costs of $0.2 million being 
written off.

On 2 September 2019, Redcape refinanced its existing debt arrangements with a Common Terms Deed. The total facility 
amount is $500.0 million (excluding $3.0 million ancillary facility) comprising Tranche A facility $150.0 million, Tranche B 
facility $250.0 million and Revolving facility $100.0 million. The Tranche A and the Revolving facilities expire on 1 
September 2022. The Tranche B facility expires on 1 September 2024. 

Assets pledged as security 
The financiers in respect of the bank loans have first ranking security over all of the assets of each entity in Redcape, a 
registered mortgage over each property and a fixed charge over each liquor and gaming licence. 

Defaults and breaches 
On 25 March 2020, the Group advised the market that it was in compliance with its loan facility terms with the exception of 
clauses relating to a “suspension of business” caused by the forced shutdown of its venues. A formal waiver was agreed 
and formally documented with the Group’s lending syndicate, ensuring that the Group remained in full compliance with its 
loan agreement. In addition, the lender group has also agreed to temporarily amend financial covenants that are negatively 
impacted due to the shutdown of the Group’s trading business. Once the venues have reopened and have had time to 
return to more normalised trading conditions, the amended covenants will revert to their original levels. 

Restrictions on distributions 
As part of the waiver, an amendment pertaining to the restrictions on distributions was obtained. There have been no 
breaches of the restrictions on distributions as described in the waiver for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Ordinary stapled securities 
Each ordinary unit of RHT II is stapled to a unit of RHT I to form a stapled security. Each stapled security entitles the holder 
to participate in distributions and the proceeds on the winding up of the Trusts in proportion to the number of and amounts 
paid on the securities held. The fully paid stapled securities have no par value and each trust does not have a limited 
amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each 
stapled security shall have one vote. 

Capital risk management 
Redcape's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can 
provide returns for stapled securityholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure 
to reduce the cost of capital. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Redcape may adjust the amount of distributions paid to stapled 
securityholders, return capital to stapled securityholders, issue new stapled securities or sell assets to reduce debt. 

Redcape would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company is seen as value adding 
relative to the current trust's stapled securities price at the time of the investment.  

Redcape is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk 
management decisions.  

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the previous reporting period.

Note 32. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
Redcape's activities expose it to interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Redcape's overall risk management program 
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of Redcape. Redcape uses derivative financial 
instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risk exposure. Derivatives are exclusively used for 
hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. Redcape uses different methods to measure 
different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and 
ageing analysis for credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('Finance') under policies approved by the directors of the 
Responsible Entity. These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of Redcape and appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within Redcape's operations. 
Finance reports to the directors on a monthly basis. 

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 
Redcape is not exposed to any foreign currency risk. 

Price risk 
Redcape is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
Redcape's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose Redcape 
to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose Redcape to fair value interest rate risk. The policy is to 
maintain at least 30% of the current borrowing facilities at fixed rates using interest rate swaps with Cap and Floor rates.

The bank loans outstanding, totalling $490.0 million (30 June 2019: $436.7 million), are interest payment loans. Monthly 
cash outlays of approximately $0.7 million (30 June 2019: $1.1 million) per month are required to service the interest 
payments. An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have an adverse/favourable effect on 
profit before tax of $4.9 million (30 June 2019: $4.4 million) per annum. 

Credit risk 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to 
Redcape. Redcape has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and 
setting appropriate credit limits. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is 
the carrying amount. Redcape does not hold any collateral. Redcape does not hold any collateral or have any expected 
credit losses. 

Liquidity risk 
Redcape manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously 
monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Redcape has 
a voluntary working capital deficiency based on its capital management strategy of paying down debt with excess cash. 
Due to the uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was deemed prudent to maintain cash 
reserves at 30 June 2020 to meet the ongoing working capital requirements of the Group.

Derivative instruments comprising interest rate swaps were reclassified from level 3 in prior year to level 2 in the current 
year. There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. 

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair 
values due to their short-term nature. 

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market 
interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities. 

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 
(i) Land 
Land is recognised at fair value based on periodic valuations by external independent valuers and/or six-monthly Director 
valuations. Independent external assessments are conducted by a professionally qualified valuer, having recent 
experience in the location and category of land being valued. Land is revalued by the Directors each half-year where an 
independent valuation has not been sought. The Group last obtained independent land valuations for a portion of the land 
on 31 May 2019.  

The carrying amount of land would be $204.3 million if it were carried at cost. 

Valuation process 
Directors’ valuations were undertaken for all Freehold Going Concern properties at 30 June 2020. In assessing fair value of 
these properties, the Directors’ valuations adopted the same adjustment process as used by external independent valuers 
in prior period. This included changes in assumptions that have been applied to specific properties based on the outcome 
of a risk assessment of each property, as well as consideration of market indicators.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 33. Fair value measurement (continued)

Freehold Going Concern valuations are based on the income capitalisation method, which is determined with reference to 
maintainable earnings and adopted yield. The overall increment/decrement to the portfolio’s Freehold Going Concern 
valuation is allocated across its various components (both Freehold and Leasehold) based on prior independent 
valuations, noting that with the exception of land, all other components are recorded at historical cost less impairment and 
accumulated depreciation (for buildings and PPE). Freehold valuation for each venue comprises land, licences and 
buildings. Total value assigned to land is based on a market accepted residual approach after attributing a fair value to the 
licences and buildings based on recently available market data and indicators associated with the value of licences and 
buildings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented uncertainty of the economic environment, in particular the lack of 
market transactions which are ordinarily a strong source of evidence for valuations of Freehold Going Concern properties
and resultant land valuations. In the absence of more fulsome market data at 30 June 2020, management have considered 
the impact that COVID-19 may have on estimated yields. Management believe that transaction data may show an 
expansion in capitalisation rates reflective of the impact that shutdown risk may have on future earnings.

All internal valuations have been reviewed and approved by the Board.

The level 3 assets and liabilities unobservable inputs are as follows:

Description

Sensitivity analysis 
Due to the uncertainty the COVID-19 pandemic is currently having on property values, sensitivity analysis has been 
undertaken to understand the impact of changes in key unobservable inputs on the Group’s valuation of land at 30 June 
2020.

Assuming all other factors remained constant, an expansion of capitalisation rates by an additional 25 bps in the 
valuation model resulted in a $17.7 million decrease in land value. Assuming all other factors remained constant, a 20% 
decrease in adopted earnings for the next 12 months, with a subsequent return to stabilised earnings would result in a 
$10.8 million decrease in land value.

(ii) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments comprise interest rate swaps and have been valued using quoted market rates. This 
valuation technique maximises the use of observable market data where it is available.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 41. Events after the reporting period 

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has had a material impact for the Group up to 
30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The 
situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, 
such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be 
provided. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented uncertainty of the economic environment, in particular the lack of 
market transactions which are ordinarily a strong source of evidence for valuations of Freehold Going Concern properties 
and resultant land valuations. Actual economic events and conditions in future may be materially different from those 
estimated by the Group at the reporting date. In the event the COVID-19 pandemic impacts are more severe or prolonged 
than anticipated, this may have further adverse impacts to the fair value of the Group’s land and Directors valuation. At the 
date of the annual report, an estimate of the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s land and Directors 
valuations cannot be made, as the impact will depend on the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn, with the 
full range of possible effects unknown. 

Further considerations in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic are included in the going concern disclosure in the notes to 
the financial statements (refer note 2 Basis of preparation).  

Other than the above matters, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly 
affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in 
future financial years.

ASX:RDCAnnual Report 2020Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matters we identified are: 

• Valuation of land

• Valuation of goodwill

• Valuation of gaming and liquor

licenses and other non-financial assets

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our 
professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the Financial Report of the current period. 

These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming 
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters. 

Valuation of land ($313.8m) 

Refer to Note 16 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

It is the Stapled Group’s policy that land is 
recognised at fair value based on valuations that 
are conducted by the Directors of Redcape 
Hotel Group Management Ltd (the Responsible 
Entity) of the Stapled Group and its external 
valuation experts. As at 30 June 2020, the 
valuation of land is based on Directors’ of the 
Responsible Entity valuations on a residual 
valuation methodology. 

We considered valuation of land as a key audit 
matter, given the:  

Working with our real-estate valuation specialists, 
our procedures included: 
•

understanding the Stapled Group’s process
regarding the valuation of land including
specific considerations for the impact of
COVID-19;

• we assessed the appropriateness of the

accounting policies applied by the Stapled
Group, against the requirements of the
accounting standards;

•

inherently subjective nature of property
valuations due to the use of assumptions
containing estimation uncertainty and
increased complexity of the valuation
methodology. These estimates lead to
additional audit effort due to differing
assumptions such as prevailing market
conditions, the individual nature, condition
and location of each property and the
expected future income for each property.
This was further heightened with the
existence of the COVID-19 pandemic,
decreasing the volume of market
transactions which are ordinarily strong
sources of evidence regarding fair value;

•

relative size of land in the statement of
financial position (being 27% of total
assets); and

• we assessed the scope, competence and

objectivity of Stapled Group’s Directors to fair
value the individual developed properties and
its components;

• we assessed the valuation methodology used
by the Directors of the Stapled Group for
consistency with the Stapled Group’s
valuation policy, and compliance with
accounting standards and industry practice;

• we assessed the specific valuation

assumptions (including the capitalisation rate
and market rental income) for a sample of
property valuations, through comparison to
market data published by commercial real
estate agents, and our knowledge of historical
performance of the properties held by the
Stapled Group and their condition and location;

70

Redcape Hotel Group comprising Redcape Hotel Trust I and Redcape Hotel Trust II•

quantum of the revaluation gains/losses
that directly impact the Statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income
through the fair value fluctuations.

We focused on the significant forward looking 
assumptions and estimations contained in the 
valuation methodology used by the Stapled 
Group with particular consideration given to the 
impact of COVID-19:  

•

•

•

Capitalisation rate: reflects the yield
that an investor would look to recover
on an investment. COVID-19 has
resulted in a lack of transactional
evidence and other market data points
being difficult to obtain;

Forecast cash flows: this includes
stabilised net operating profit (EBITDA)
and market rental income. These
assumptions are more judgemental
because the extent of the uncertainty
of how COVID-19 may impact on
future cash flows; and

Component fair values: these are the
notional fair values ascribed to
buildings and licenses which are
subsequently removed from the
property valuation to derive a land
residual value.

We involved real-estate valuation specialists to 
supplement our senior audit team members in 
assessing this key audit matter. 

• we compared the stabilised net operating

profit (EBITDA) used in the valuations to
historical results of the Stapled Group’s
operations including specific considerations
for the impact of COVID-19. We adjusted for
expected changes such as the annualisation of
results of properties acquired by the Stapled
Group during the year.  We used our
knowledge of the Group, its past
performance, business and customers, and
our industry experience;

• we assessed the methodology and specific
valuation assumptions for a sample of
individual components including building and
license valuations. We used our knowledge of
the Stapled Group, its past performance,
business and customers, condition of the
buildings and our industry experience;

• we visited a sample of properties to observe

the condition and location of the land.

• we checked amounts recorded in the
statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, to movements in the
fair value of the land for the year from the
Stapled Group’s Statement of financial
position; and

• we assessed the disclosures in the financial

report using our understanding obtained from
our testing and against the requirements of
the accounting standards.

ASX:RDCAnnual Report 2020Valuation of goodwill ($303.1m) 

Refer to Note 18 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Annual testing of goodwill impairment is a key 
audit matter, given the size of the balance 
(being 26% of total assets) and the significantly 
higher estimation uncertainty continuing from 
the business disruption impact of the COVID-19 
global pandemic. We focussed on the 
significant forward-looking assumptions the 
Stapled Group applied in its value in use model 
for the group of cash generating units 
(“CGUs”), including: 

•

forecast cash flows, growth rates and
terminal growth rates – the Stapled Group
has experienced significant business
disruption, as a result of the trading
restrictions imposed by the government
due to COVID-19. These conditions
increase the possibility of goodwill being
impaired, plus the risk of inaccurate
forecasts or a significantly wider range of
possible outcomes, for us to consider. We
focused on the expected rate of recovery
for the Stapled Group, what the Stapled
Group considers as its future business
model when assessing the feasibility of the
Group’s revised COVID-19 forecast cash
flows; and

•

discount rates - these are complex in nature
and vary according to the conditions and
environment in which the group of CGUs
operate.

The Stapled Group uses a complex model to 
perform its annual testing of goodwill for 
impairment. The model is largely manually 
developed, uses adjusted historical 
performance, and a range of internal and 
external sources as inputs to the assumptions. 
Complex modelling, particularly those 
containing highly judgemental forward-looking 
assumptions tend to be prone to greater risk for 
potential bias, error and inconsistent 
application. These conditions necessitate 
additional scrutiny by us, in particular to address 
the objectivity of sources used for assumptions, 
and their consistent application. 

Working with our valuation specialists, our 
procedures included: 

• we considered the appropriateness of the

value in use method applied by the Stapled
Group to perform the annual test of goodwill
for impairment, for the group of CGUs, against
the requirements of the accounting standards;

• we assessed the integrity of the value in use
model used, including the accuracy of the
underlying calculation formulas;

• we considered the sensitivity of the model by
varying key assumptions, such as forecast
growth rates, terminal growth rate and
discount rate, within a reasonably possible
range. We did this to identify those
assumptions at higher risk of bias or
inconsistency in application and to focus our
further procedures;

• we compared the forecast cash flows

contained in the value in use model to revised
forecasts approved by the Board, reflecting the
Stapled Group’s COVID-19 adjusted model;

• we assessed the accuracy of previous Stapled
Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of
forecasts incorporated in the model;

• we challenged the Stapled Group’s significant

forecast cash flow including specific
considerations of the impact of COVID-19 such
as expected rate of recovery and growth
assumptions by comparing the forecast to
historical results of the Stapled Group’s
operations and applied increased scepticism to
areas where previous forecasts were not
achieved. We compared forecast growth rates,
including terminal growth rate to published
studies of industry trends and expectations.
We used our knowledge of the Stapled Group,
its past performance, business and customers,
and our industry experience;

72

Redcape Hotel Group comprising Redcape Hotel Trust I and Redcape Hotel Trust IIThe Stapled Group has a large number of 
individual developed properties, necessitating 
our consideration of the Stapled Group’s 
determination of CGUs, based on the smallest 
group of assets to generate largely independent 
cash inflows. We considered the Stapled 
Group’s allocation of goodwill to the group of 
CGUs to which they belong based on the 
management and monitoring of the business. 

We involved valuation specialists to supplement 
our senior audit team members in assessing 
this key audit matter. 

• we independently developed a discount rate
range considered comparable using publicly
available market data for comparable entities,
adjusted by risk factors specific to the Stapled
Group and the industry it operates in;

• we considered the Stapled Group’s

determination of its CGUs based on our
understanding of the operations of the Stapled
Group’s business, and how independent cash
inflows were generated, against the
requirements of the accounting standards;

• we analysed the Stapled Group’s internal
reporting to assess the Stapled Group’s
monitoring and management of activities, and
the consistency of the allocation of goodwill to
the group of CGUs; and

• we assessed the disclosures in the financial

report using our understanding obtained from
our testing and against the requirements of the
accounting standards.

Valuation of gaming and liquor licenses ($256.2m) and other non-financial assets ($181.5m) 

Refer to Note 18 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The Stapled Group is required to perform an 
annual impairment assessment for gaming and 
liquor license which are intangible assets with 
indefinite useful lives. Other non-financial 
assets comprising of property, plant and 
equipment and right-of-use assets are assessed 
for impairment when there is an indicator of 
impairment such as the business disruption 
impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic. As 
part of the Staple Group’s impairment 
assessment for gaming and liquor licenses and 
other non-financial assets, the Stapled Group 
estimated its recoverable amount and 
compared it to its carrying value for each of the 
Stapled Group’s cash generating units 
(“CGUs”). The Stapled Group uses the higher 
of the fair value less cost of disposal and value 
in use models to perform its impairment 
assessment for the CGUs. This further 
increased our audit effort in this key audit area. 

Working with our valuation specialists, our 
procedures included: 

• we considered the appropriateness of the fair
value less cost of disposal and value in use
models applied by the Stapled Group to
perform the impairment test for the CGUs,
against the requirements of the accounting
standards;

• we assessed the integrity of the fair value less
cost of disposal and value in use models used,
including the accuracy of the underlying
calculation formulas;

• we assessed the capitalisation rate for a
sample of fair value less cost of disposal
models, through comparison to market data
published by commercial real estate agents,
and our knowledge of historical performance
of the properties held by the Stapled Group
and their condition and location;

73

ASX:RDCAnnual Report 2020We focussed on the significant forward-looking 
assumptions the Stapled Group applied in its 
fair value less cost of disposal and value in use 
models for the CGUs, including: 

•

•

capitalisation rates which reflects the yield
that an investor would look to recover on an
investment in the fair value less cost of
disposal models. COVID-19 has resulted in
a lack of transactional evidence and other
market data points being difficult to obtain.

forecast cash flows including stabilised net
operating profit (EBITDA), growth rates and
terminal growth rates – the Stapled Group
has experienced significant business
disruption, as a result of the trading
restrictions imposed by the government
due to COVID-19. These conditions
increase the possibility of a CGU being
impaired, plus the risk of inaccurate
forecasts or a significantly wider range of
possible outcomes, for us to consider. We
focused on the expected rate of recovery
for each CGU, what the Stapled Group
considers as their future business model
when assessing the feasibility of the CGU’s
revised COVID-19 forecast cash flows; and

•

discount rates – these are complex in
nature and vary according to the conditions
and environment the specific CGUs is
subject to from time to time.

The models are largely manually developed, use 
adjusted historical performance, and a range of 
internal and external sources as inputs to the 
assumptions. Complex modelling, particularly 
those containing highly judgemental forward-
looking assumptions, tend to be prone to 
greater risk for potential bias, error and 
inconsistent application. These conditions 
necessitate additional scrutiny by us, in 
particular to address the objectivity of sources 
used for assumptions, and their consistent 
application. 

We involved valuation specialists to supplement 
our senior audit team members in assessing 
this key audit matter. 

• we compared the stabilised net operating

profit (EBITDA) used in the fair value less cost
of disposal model to historical results of the
Stapled Group’s operations including specific
considerations for the impact of COVID-19.
We adjusted for expected changes such as
the annualisation of results of properties
acquired by the Stapled Group during the
year.  We used our knowledge of the Group,
their past performance, business and
customers, and our industry experience;

• we considered the sensitivity of the value in

use models by varying key assumptions, such
as forecast growth rates, terminal growth rate
and discount rate, within a reasonably possible
range. We did this to identify those
assumptions at higher risk of bias or
inconsistency in application and to focus our
further procedures;

• we compared the forecast cash flows

Our objective is: 

•

•

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 the Financial Report.
