ANNUAL REPORT  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019

For more than 52 years, innovative thinking 
has underpinned all that we do. It’s what has 
made us the biggest second hand automotive 
business in New Zealand and one of the 
country’s most trusted automotive brands. 

Innovative thinking allows us to find better ways 
to serve our customers, helping them to buy 
and sell cars and get finance and insurance, all 
through one trusted source. 

It enables us to identify better ways of working 
together as a team, across our businesses and 
our group, to achieve our ambitions.

It is driven by our people and their passion for 
what they do, and we encourage an ‘anything is 
possible’ attitude.

However, we know that innovation for the 
sake of innovation is not the answer. Doing the 
right thing is key and all our solutions must be 
beneficial for our customers, our people and our 
business. 

This year, we are taking another step forward 
with innovative thinking. 

The automotive industry is changing and we are 
looking ahead to ensure we are well positioned 
to take advantage of future trends. This takes 
innovative thinking - about our business and our 
offer - and we are excited about our company’s 
potential in this rapidly changing world.

Revenue was $336.6m for the year, with 
$29.0m in Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT). 
Excluding a $4.6m one-off, non-cash 
adjustment related to the rebranding of 
Buy Right Cars, the Company delivered 
FY19 NPBT of $33.6m, above Q4 guidance 
of $32m and ahead of last year’s result of 
$31.1m. Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) was 
$22.7m, down 3% from $23.4m in FY18. More 
detail on our financial results is provided in 
the commentary on page 14.   

GROUP STRATEGY REVIEW

The dynamics of the automotive industry are 
changing and we are changing our business 
too. 

In recent months, we have undertaken a 
detailed strategic review of our business.  
The result has been a decision to simplify 
and de-risk the business as well as leverage 
core capabilities and strengths (such as the 
brand strength in Automotive Retail and the 
Turners brand name) in order to accelerate 
growth in a capital efficient manner. 

We believe this approach will sharpen the 
focus on meeting customer needs; improve 
the efficiency of the business; and enhance 
the returns generated for shareholders. 
There is a strong desire to invest in the 
brands and businesses where we have 
already achieved a leading position. The 
shift to a single brand strategy in Auto 
Retail, completed in May 2019, is one of the 
first projects implemented under the new 
strategy. 

We have also appointed Jardens (FNZC) 
to conduct a strategic review of Oxford 
Finance, which has commenced. Whilst 
Oxford Finance is a well performing and 
growing business with a strong network of 
active dealers across the country, the review 
of group strategy has highlighted that 
building a loan book is very capital intensive 
and we may be best to use our capital in 
growing our core business in Automotive 
Retail.

As a part of the review, we will consider 
alternative ownership options for Oxford 
Finance. Whatever the outcome, we will 
continue to maintain our close relationship 
with Oxford Finance and originate loans 
through the Turners’ network. Oxford 
Finance customers and the existing dealer 
network will see no change to the leading 
levels of service and quality they currently 
experience.

We will also conduct a strategic review 
of EC Credit Control in the next 12 to 24 
months.

We are applying innovative thinking to 
determine what the future will look like for 
our company and we are pleased to share 
this thinking with you on pages 12 and 13 of 
this report. 

THE USED CAR ECONOMY

While the used car market remained at 
historically strong levels in FY19, with 1.13 
million used car transactions in the year 
to end of March, it definitely plateaued. 
However, underlying medium term demand 
is still robust, with over 950,000 cars at 20+ 
years old. 

There continues to be pressure on import 
margins. A current oversupply of import 
cars is temporarily pushing down pricing 
and increased compliance costs are also 
having an adverse impact. From 2020, all 
imports will be required to have Electronic 
Stability Control, which will mostly impact 
on the sub-$8,000 budget segment. Our 
research shows that most Kiwis are in the 
market for a vehicle under $10,000, and over 
80% of buyers will purchase a vehicle under 
$20,000. 

Vehicle margins have recovered from the 
low point in October/November last year 
and local stock is delivering much stronger 
margins. We are benefitting from our 
strategy to increase the number of ‘owned’ 
vehicles we sell, which provide higher 
margins.

New Zealand’s vehicle fleet continues to 
age. There are over 3.8 million light vehicles 
in the used vehicle fleet and around 20% of 
these, or 950,000 vehicles, are at or very 
near the scrapping age.  The scrapping age 
has been dropping and is now at 19.5 years 
for an import and 17.5 years for a NZ new 
car. We’re seeing more cars exiting the fleet 
due to the cost of repairs increasing and a 
stricter Warrant of Fitness regime.  

The number of registered dealers has 
dropped 4% to 3,377 over the last 12 
months. We still see further consolidation as 
inevitable and we are well positioned to take 
advantage of this.

IN FY19, TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP 
CONTINUED THE WORK STARTED IN THE 
PRIOR YEAR TOWARDS SIMPLIFICATION OF 
OUR BUSINESS, WITH A FOCUS ON ORGANIC 
GROWTH. 

We are now seeing the benefits from the launch 
of core brands for each business, common 
operating and funding platforms and centralised 
locations for our teams. Our business is more 
streamlined and more efficient, allowing us to 
generate synergies across the group and better 
leverage our collective knowledge. 

Our expanding retail network and focus on 
better quality lending are also generating 
positive gains for the business and remain a 
focus for the year ahead. 

After adjusting for one-off and non-cash items, 
Turners’ underlying results for the year were 
flat on the last year, mainly due to market 
headwinds in the used import vehicle sector 
and the impact of impairments from MTF 
non-recourse lending (which has now been 
discontinued). Some pleasing improvements 
were noted in damaged vehicle volumes and 
sales and loss ratios in the insurance business.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE 

Our ability to meet all our customer’s 
automotive needs remains a lynchpin of our 
business and offers a myriad of advantages. 
We can provide an end-to-end customer 
journey within our own channels which provide 
higher margin transactions, we develop better 
customer relationships and we can easily 
adapt to meet customer needs with new and 
innovative solutions. 

Our goal is to be the retailer of choice for 
anyone wishing to buy or sell a used vehicle, be 
it a car, a truck or a unit of machinery. Our multi-
channel platform ensures we are where our 
customers are – online, on Trade Me, in our retail 
yards nationwide and in our auction rooms. At 
the same time, our finance and insurance offer 
allows us to meet all our customer needs at the 
time of purchase. 

■ AUTOMOTIVE RETAIL
•  Revenue: $225.7m +1%
•  Operating Profit: $18.3m +10%
•  Underlying Op Profit: $14.7m -8% 
•  631 staff
•  National network of 32 sites and yards
•  NPS customer score of 64

Automotive Retail was the largest contributor to 
the group in FY19, generating 67% of operating 
revenue and 63% of operating profit. Revenue 
was slightly up on the prior year to $225.7m, 
with operating profit increasing 10% to $18.3m. 
This included $3.4m in one-off property gains 
associated with the NZTA settlement for Albany.  

During the year, the division operated through 
two brands, however,  as part of the drive 
for simplification, a decision was made to 
consolidate to a single brand in Auto Retail and 
rebrand Buy Right Cars to Turners Cars. This 
project has now been completed. The move to a 
single brand provides the opportunity to further 
leverage the high levels of awareness and the 
very strong trust that Kiwis place in the Turners 
brand and will also enable marketing and other 
cost synergies.

Turners continued to benefit from its national 
network and strong online channels, which 
provide diversity across regional markets. The 
business delivered a 13% increase in operating 
profit, offsetting the downturn in Buy Right Cars 
which has been adversely impacted by the soft 
Auckland market where all but one of its sites 
are located.

Approximately 49% of retail sales are cars 
owned by Turners, which generate better 
margins and an increased opportunity to cross 
sell finance and insurance products. Of the 
vehicles being sold on consignment, a higher 
number of these are ex-lease cars which provide 
less margin but provide good late model “NZ 
new” cars for sale. While import vehicle margins 
are well down, Turners has implemented a 
number of initiatives to improve local stock 
buying, which delivers higher margins.

Turners has also continued to grow its share of 
the niche end-of-life market and is increasingly 
being recognised by insurance companies as the 
provider of choice. 

Our property strategy remains an important 
driver for this business. A proportion of reserves 
from our insurance business has been allocated 
to support the property expansion and assist 
in better utilisation of capital in the business. 
During the year, we relocated the Whangarei 
site and opened two new sites in Wellington and 
New Plymouth, both of which are performing 
above expectations. The new North Shore 
branch is expected to open towards the end 
of the 2Q20 and we have plans for a further 
seven sites around the country for which two 
contracts are already in place.  

■ FINANCE
•  Revenue: $44.2m +11%
•  Operating Profit: $11.1m -5%   
•  Underlying Op Profit: $10.3m -6% 
•  Finance book (excluding Turners Finance)
grew by 9% to $254m as at 31 March 2019

•  70 staff
•  Average Equifax credit score 547 in 2H19  

(450 in 2H18)

The Finance division delivered an 11% increase 
in operating revenue to $44.2m, however, 
segment profit decreased slightly to $11.1m due 
to increased impairments from the MTF non-
recourse offer.  In the core lending book, good 
progress is being made on repositioning the 
borrower profile towards high quality and more 
profitable lending, aided by the introduction of 
comprehensive credit scoring in March 2019.

We take our responsibilities seriously and 
continue to monitor our customer on-boarding 
processes to ensure that we are compliant with 
legislation including the Credit Contracts and 
Consumer Finance Act and the Responsible 
Lending Code. 

8

From August 2018, all new loans originated by 
Turners Cars are being directed into Oxford 
Finance, and the Turners Finance loan book 
with MTF will be run down over the next two 
years, and we believe has now been adequately 
provisioned. New loans originated by Turners 
Cars added $28m to the Oxford Finance loan 
book in FY19, which grew 9% to $254m as at 31 
March 2019. 

The number of active dealers selling Turners’ 
finance offer continues to grow and was up 11% 
year on year to 419. One in five loans are now 
being “auto-approved” through Turners’ Auto 
App online loan approval platform, which makes 
it easier and faster for dealers and customers to 
gain a response on loan applications.

■ INSURANCE
•  Revenue: $48.5m +3% 
•  Operating Profit: $8.2m +126% 
•  Underlying Op Profit: $5.2m +137% 
•  Net Earned Premium $38.0m
•  49 staff
•  More than 6,600 Motor Vehicle Breakdown, 

Loan Protection and Motor Vehicle 
insurance policies sold every month

Autosure has around 50% share of the motor 
vehicle mechanical breakdown insurance market. 
It is a lower risk insurance business which 
provides good returns and offers leverage for 
the group through the ability to use insurance 
reserves to invest in property. Operating revenue 
for the year was up 3% to $48.5m, with segment 
profit of $8.2m, which included a $3.0m gain on 
sale of an investment property. 

The number of new policy sales increased, with 
an 8% increase in policies sold through Turners’ 
Automotive Retail business. Loss ratios have 
improved across all insurance products through 
the benefits of risk pricing work and tight cost 
control in claims management. MBI (Mechanical 
Breakdown Insurance) loss ratios were at 72% 
for the year, down from 78% the year before, 
with a further improvement targeted.

The final step in the large integration project 
to combine all Turner’s insurance brands was 
completed this year, with the migration to a new 
front end retail system which was implemented 
in April 2019. A refreshed suite of insurance 
products as well as new pricing and vehicle 
categories for Mechanical Breakdown insurance 
have been launched.  

■ CREDIT MANAGEMENT
•  Revenue: $18.2m -3% 
•  Operating Profit: $6.3m +4% 
•  Underlying Op Profit: $6.2m +9% 
•  Total debt load $237m, up 15% year on year
•  Unredeemed voucher release $0.2m
•  87 staff

EC Credit Control continues to deliver consistent 
results with revenue of $18.2m down slightly 
on the prior year and segment profit up 4% to 
$6.3m.  The unredeemed voucher release was 
under $0.2m (FY18: $0.4m) and similar levels are 
expected to be maintained in FY20.

EC Credit Control’s share of the New Zealand 
market continues to grow, with increased debt 
load from new and existing customers. Australia 
remains more challenging and we continue 
to focus on winning new Australian corporate 
clients. 

The business continues to reap benefits from 
the investment into Auto-dialler technology 
which is delivering significant cost efficiencies 
and an increasing number of calls and 
connected calls. This combined with the use 
of the debtor scorecard we have developed is 
delivering better collections results faster for our 
customers.  

In total, 28% more debtor actions were taken in 
FY19 and total debt load was up 15% to $237m. 

Our ability to meet all our 
customer’s automotive needs 
remains a lynchpin of our 
business and offers a myriad 
of advantages.

The accompanying notes from part of these financial statements

DIVIDEND

The Board was pleased to declare a final 
quarter fully imputed dividend of 5.0 cents 
per share, taking total FY19 dividends to 17 
cents per share, up from 15.5 cents in FY18. 
Following the strategy work, and for the 
second year in a row, the Directors have 
approved a change in the Dividend Policy, 
increasing the payout ratio from 60-70% of 
NPAT (previously 50-60% of NPAT).

The Board continues to believe the share 
price undervalues the business, and 2.6m 
shares have been acquired under the Share 
Buyback scheme, which equates to about 
3% of shares on issue.  The scheme was put 
on hold during the strategic review and the 
Board will revisit the buy-back programme 
in the near-term based on how the stock 
performs.

OUTLOOK

We have identified our Automotive Retail 
business as Turner’s core strength. The long-
term dynamics of this market are strong 
with hundreds of thousands of ageing 
vehicles needing to be replaced over the 
next decade. We are well positioned to take 
advantage of this, as well as the expected 
consolidation of the dealer network.

Expansion of the national network will 
continue as we strengthen Turners’ omni-
channel approach – ensuring that it has a 
strong and consistent customer experience 
in all channels where consumers are 
looking to buy or sell cars, including online, 
through social media or ‘in person’. We 
will also continue to develop our inhouse 
property expertise and leverage reserves 
within the insurance business to deliver on 
the property strategy and enhance capital 
efficiency.

business.

We have a number of strengths – a strong 
balance sheet, a large customer base, a 
great consumer brand and rich data assets. 
This puts us in a unique position to partner 
with other parties to harness the changing 
market dynamic. Our criteria for any 
investment is that it must be highly adjacent 
to the auto market, have alignment with the 
Turners’ brand, and significantly improve the 
way customer needs are met. 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR 
STAKEHOLDERS?

We’ll have a narrower focus concentrating 
on growing the brands where we have 
a dominant position. We’ll be more 
competitive with a leaner, more competitive 
business model.  We’ll be more customer 
relevant, capital efficient, have a lower risk 
profile and less complex business model, 
which will allow us to continue to offer high 
yielding shareholder returns.

We’re looking to the future to ensure the 
sustainability of our business in a changing 
industry and we’re excited about the 
potential this offers. 

LOOKING AT OUR BUSINESS IN THIS 
CONTEXT, THERE ARE FOUR THINGS 
THAT STAND OUT

•  The strength of the Turners brand

•  The complexity of our existing business 

model

•  The opportunity available in NZ’s ageing 

vehicle fleet

•  And the growing customer demand for 

digitisation. 

Our ambition is for Turners is to be 
New Zealand’s best place to buy 
and sell vehicles with continually 
high customer satisfaction. We’ve 
identified three key strategic pathways 
that we believe will help us achieve 
our goal and improve the return for 
shareholders. 

SIMPLIFY THE BUSINESS

With single brands for each of our sectors; 
a focus on core products and a strategic 
review of business units where we don’t hold 
dominant market position. 

DE-RISK THE BUSINESS

By continuing to write higher quality loans, 
early adoption of comprehensive credit 
reporting, actively engaging with regulators 
in regards to compliance and regulatory 
changes, and focusing on loan origination 
rather than underwriting credit risk. 

GROW THE BUSINESS

By continuing to expand our auto retail 
footprint across NZ, shifting marketing 
investment into digital platforms, leveraging 
data analytics to buy and sell smarter, 
evolving the customer experience in person 
and online, and looking for innovation and 
disruptive opportunities within the auto 
sector. 

Work has already started in much of these 
areas with projects such as the brand 
consolidation now completed. More recently, 
we have appointed Jardens (FNZC) to 
conduct a strategic review of Oxford 
Finance. And we have engaged experts in 
social media and data analytics to build our 
online presence and strategy.

with the full financial statements and Notes to the Financial 
Statements in the FY19 Annual Report. 

Revenue grew to $336.6m in FY19, up 2% from $330.5m in FY18, 
with Automotive Retail contributing 67% of operating revenue.

Excluding the $4.6m adjustment for the Buy Right Cars brand 
write-off, net profit before tax (NPBT) was $33.6m, above Q4 
guidance and ahead of last year’s result.  

Underlying NPBT excludes those items which are one-off or 
non-cash costs.  Property sales and acquisitions had the biggest 
impact this year, with proceeds from the sale of property and 
the settlement from NZTA following the compulsory acquisition 
of the North Shore site.  The other major item is the Buy 
Right Cars brand write off adjustment of $4.6m.  The total 
unredeemed voucher release for EC Credit Control was under 
$0.2m, with similar levels expected in FY20.

Turners Group and the insurance business were the biggest 
contributors to operating profit. In Automotive Retail, the gains 
made by Turners Group were offset by Buy Right Cars, which is 
being affected by the tough market conditions in the Auckland 
used import market. The finance result was impacted by 
impairments in the high risk MTF non-recourse lending, which 
we have now discontinued. Insurance reflects improvements in 
claims management, as well as a $3.0m gain on the sale of an 
investment property in Wiri. EC Credit delivered an increase on 
the back of improving New Zealand collections performance. 
Finally, corporate and other costs includes the one off non-
cash impact of the Buy Right Cars brand write off of $4.6m 
(compared to a release of earn out consideration in the prior 
year). 

A reconciliation of Underlying to Reported NPBT is below.

FY19 Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) was $22.7m, compared to $23.4m in FY18.

NPATA is NPAT with tax adjusted addback of amortised acquisition intangibles.  
This was down 3% to $24.4m.

DIVIDEND

Turners Automotive Group is a strong yielding stock, with a quarterly dividend payment structure.  

A final quarter fully imputed dividend of 5.0 cents per share took full year dividends to 17 cents per 
share, up from 15.5 cents in FY18. Following the strategy work, and for the  second year in a row, the 
Directors have enhanced the dividend policy with an increase in the payout ratio to 60% to 70% of 
NPAT (previously 50% to 60% of NPAT).

BALANCE SHEET

Turners has a strong balance sheet. The cash balance reduced year on year due to the investment 
of insurance reserves into longer dated term deposits.  The change in Finance Receivables reflects 
growth in Oxford Finance offset by the rundown in the MTF non-recourse ledger. Property, plant and 
equipment increased due to development of new sites in Whangarei and North Shore.  The increase 
in Insurance contract liabilities reflects growth in Autosure policy sales.

FUNDING MIX

Turners’ funding platform was further strengthened during the year, with the issue of a 
new $25m, 3-year Bond programme. Combined with the Securitisation Warehouse and 
the banking syndication with the ASB and BNZ, this provides the Group with a diversified 
funding structure and adequate headroom for forecast business growth. 

The previous Bond programme matured in September 2018, with 52% conversion into shares.

unconventional end of the spectrum. The co-founder

and Trilogy International, which sold to Chinese Citic 
Group, amongst a number of other ventures he has been 
involved in. 

With a 7.02% shareholding, Grant is long term committed 
investor in Turners Automotive Group. As an avid 
collector of specialist vehicles and motor racing 
enthusiast, both as a competitor and as a backer of 
young up and coming drivers, he is passionate about the

experience at a senior level in both public and private 
New Zealand companies and has been Chairman of 
Turners Automotive Group since September 2009.

CEO and Executive Director of Dorchester Pacific in 
May 2008 (now Turners Automotive Group), handing 
over the CEO role to Todd Hunter in June 2016. Paul is 
entrepreneurial at heart but combines this with a wealth

Hellaby Holdings) and the real world CEO experience of 
bringing a finance company positively out of the GFC. 
Paul has a 2.86% shareholding in Turners Automotive 
Group.

Non-executive Director  | Appointed December 2012

Board in 2012 and represents his family interests, which 
have a 7.73% combined holding in the company. Matthew 
is a self-confessed “car nut” and has owned some very 
special cars over the years including a McLaren P1. He 
is very enthusiastic about the future of Turners and,

successful journey.

and he represents the interests of Bartel Holdings, which has a 10.99% 
shareholding in Turners Automotive Group. Alistair worked for many years 
at Turners & Growers, the original parent company of Turners Auctions, 
which provides a nice connection at Board level back to those foundational

Independent Director | Appointed July 2015

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ('NZ IFRS') and International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').  Our report is made solely to the Shareholders of Turners Automotive Group Limited, in accordance with the Companies Act 1993. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Turners Automotive Group Limited and the Shareholders of Turners Automotive Group Limited, for our audit work, for our report or for the opinions we have formed.  Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) ('ISAs (NZ)'). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  Other than in our capacity as auditor and provider of other assurance services we have no relationship with, or interests in, Turners Automotive Group Limited or any of its subsidiaries. The provision of these other assurance services has not impaired our independence.   25  In addition to this, principals and employees of our firm deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Group. This has not impaired our independence.  Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters are selected from the matters communicated with the Directors, but are not intended to represent all matters that were discussed with them. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Impairment testing of Goodwill and Other Indefinite Life Intangible Assets As disclosed in Note 20 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements the Group has goodwill of $92.5m allocated across five of the Group’s cash-generating units (‘CGUs’) and brand assets of $67.1m allocated across two of those CGUs. Goodwill and brand assets were significant to our audit due to the size of the assets and the subjectivity, complexity and uncertainty inherent in the measurement of the recoverable amount of these CGUs for the purpose of the required annual impairment test. The measurement of a CGUs recoverable amount includes the assessment and calculation of its ‘value in-use’. Management has completed the annual impairment test for each of these five CGUs as at 31 March 2019. Management has engaged an external valuation expert to assist in the annual impairment testing of the five CGUs. This annual impairment test involves complex and subjective estimation and judgement by Management on the future performance of the CGUs, discount rates applied to future cash flow forecasts, and future market or economic conditions.  Our audit procedures among others included: Evaluating Management’s determination of the Group’s five CGUs based on our understanding of the nature of the Group’s business and the economic environment in which the segments operate. We also analysed the internal reporting of the Group to assess how the CGUs are monitored and reported. Challenging Management’s assumptions and estimates used to determine the recoverable value of its indefinite life intangible assets, including those relating to forecasted revenue, cost, capital expenditure and discount rates, by adjusting for future events and corroborating the key market related assumptions to external data. Procedures included: oEvaluating the logic of the value-in-use calculations supporting Management’s annual impairment test and testing the mathematical accuracy of these calculations; oEvaluating Management’s process regarding the preparation and review of forecasts; oComparing forecasts to Board approved forecasts; oEvaluating the historical accuracy of the Group’s forecasting to actual historical performance; oChallenging and evaluating the forecast growth assumptions; oEvaluating the inputs to the calculation of the discount rates applied; oEngaging our own internal valuation experts to evaluate the logic of the value-in-use calculation and the inputs to the calculation of the discount rates applied; oEvaluating Management’s sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in key assumptions; and oPerforming our own sensitivity analyses for reasonably possible changes in key assumptions, the two main assumptions being: the discount rate and forecast growth assumptions. Evaluating the related disclosures about indefinite life intangible assets which are included in Note 20 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.  INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT cont.

26  Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of Finance Receivables  including the adoption of NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments As disclosed in Note 14 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements the Group has finance receivable assets of $290.0m. Finance receivable assets were significant to our audit due to the size of the assets and the subjectivity, complexity and uncertainty inherent in the recognition of impairment in respect of finance receivables and the amount of that impairment. Management has prepared impairment models to complete its assessment of impairment for the Group’s finance receivables as at 31 March 2019. This assessment involves complex and subjective estimation and judgement by Management on credit risk and the future cash flows of the finance receivables. As disclosed in Note 31 and Note 14, on 1 April 2018, the Group adopted NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which resulted in the Group having to develop new impairment models to assess impairment under the expected credit losses model specified in NZ IFRS 9.In accordance with the transitional provisions outlined in NZ IFRS 9, the Group has applied the cumulative effect method and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under NZ IAS 39.  As at 31 March 2018, the Group had finance receivable assets of $289.8m, as disclosed in Note 31, on 1 April 2018 upon adoption of NZ IFRS 9, the Group finance receivable assets were restated from $289.8m to $286.6m. Our audit procedures among others included: Evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over finance receivable origination, ongoing administration and impairment model data and calculations; Challenging and evaluating Management’s assessment of the impact of adopting NZ IFRS 9, the logic, key assumptions, and calculation of its new impairment models against the requirements specified in NZ IFRS 9 for recognising expected credit losses on financial assets; For individually assessed finance receivables, examining those finance receivables and forming our own judgements as to whether the impairment provision recognised by Management was appropriate; For the collectively assessed finance receivables, challenging and evaluating the logic of Management’s impairment models and the key assumptions used with our own experience as at 1 April 2018 (on adoption of NZ IFRS 9) and as at 31 March 2019 (at reporting date). Also, testing key inputs used in the impairment models and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations within the models; Evaluating the related disclosures about the adoption NZ IFRS 9 in Note 31 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements;  Evaluating the related disclosures (including the accounting policies) about finance receivable assets, and the risks attached to them which are included in Note 5 and 14 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.    27  Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of Insurance Contract Liabilities As disclosed in Note 34 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements the Group has insurance contract liabilities of $51.8m. The Group’s insurance contract liabilities were significant to our audit due to the size of the liabilities and the subjectivity, complexity and uncertainty inherent in estimating the impact of claims events that have occurred but for which the eventual outcome remains uncertain. Management has engaged an external actuarial expert to estimate the Group’s insurance contract liabilities as at 31 March 2019. Our audit procedures among others included: Evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over insurance contract origination, ongoing administration, integrity of data provided to Management's external actuarial expert used in the estimation process and Management’s review of the estimates; Evaluating the competence, capabilities, objectivity and expertise of Management's external actuarial expert and the appropriateness of the expert's work as audit evidence for the relevant assertions; Agreeing the data provided to Management's external actuarial expert to the Group’s records; Engaging our own actuarial expert to assist in understanding and evaluating: othe work and findings of the Group’s external actuarial expert engaged by Management; othe Group’s actuarial methods and assumptions to assist us in challenging the appropriateness of actuarial methods and assumptions used by Management; Assessing the selection of methods and assumptions with a view to identify management bias; Evaluating the related disclosures about insurance contract liabilities, and the risks attached to them which are included in Note 34 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.     INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT cont.

28  Other Information The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2019 (but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon).  Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.  In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information  and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.   Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.    29  As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the Directors and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.  We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.  We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.     INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT cont.

30  From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.  Matters Relating to the Electronic Presentation of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements This audit report relates to the consolidated financial statements of Turners Automotive Group Limited and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2019 included on Turners Automotive Group Limited’s website. The Directors of Turners Automotive Group Limited are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of Turners Automotive Group Limited’s website. We have not been engaged to report on the integrity of Turners Automotive Group Limited’s website. We accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the consolidated financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.  The audit report refers only to the consolidated financial statements named above. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyper linked to or from these consolidated financial statements. If readers of this report are concerned with the inherent risks arising from electronic data communication they should refer to the published hard copy of the audited consolidated financial statements and related audit report dated 28 June 2019 to confirm the information included in the audited consolidated financial statements presented on this website.

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
Except as detailed in note 31, the accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial 
statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. 

3.1  Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations 
New standards and amendments and interpretations to existing standards that came into effect during the current accounting period beginning 
on 1 April 2018 that materially impact the Group’s financial statements are as follows: 
• 
• 
The other standards did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements and did not require retrospective adjustment. 

NZ IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'; and 
NZ IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'. 

Refer to note 31 for the impact of implementing these new standards. 

3.2  New standards and amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective for the current accounting 

period beginning on 1 April 2018 

The following relevant standards and interpretations have been issued at the reporting date but are not yet effective. 

NZ IFRS 16 'Leases' 
NZ IFRS 16 'Leases' will replace NZ IAS 17 ‘Leases’. NZ IFRS 16 eliminates the distinction between operating and finance leases for lessees 
and will result in lessees bringing most leases onto their Statements of Financial Position.

The main changes affect lessee accounting only – lessor accounting is mostly unchanged from NZ IAS 17. 

Closing cash and cash equivalents

NZ IFRS 16 introduces the following: 
• 

• 

Use of a control model for the identification of leases. This model distinguishes between leases and service contracts on the basis of 
whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer. 
Distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Assets (a right of use asset) and liabilities (a lease liability reflecting future 
lease payments) will now be recognised in respect of all leases, with the exception of certain short term leases and leases of low value 
assets 

The accompanying notes from part of these financial statements

The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, the financial year beginning 1 April 2019.  

The indicative impacts of implementing NZ IFRS 16 are as follows for all leases that the Group is a party to: 
Initial recognition and measurement: 
• 

Initially the ROU asset would be measured its carrying amount as if NZ IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement of the lease, 
but discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application; and

• 

Recognition of a lease liability, which would reflect the initial measurement of the present value of lease payments, including reasonably 
certain renewals. 

Subsequent measurement: 
• 
• 

ROU asset: Depreciate the ROU asset based on NZ IAS 16 ‘Property, plant and equipment’. 
Lease liability: Accrete liability  based  on the  effective  interest  method, using  a discount rate determined  at lease commencement (as 
long as a reassessment and a change in the discount rate have not occurred) and reduce the liability by payments made. 

NZ IFRS 16 will have a material impact on the Group's financial statements. The Group’s operating lease commitments as at 31 March 2019 
are set out in note 32. 

The Group has elected to adopt the Cumulative effect approach under which the Group will not restate comparative information.  
Based on existing lease arrangements, the preliminary assessment of the adoption of IFRS 16, is expected to result in the recognition of the 
following:  

As at 1 April 2019, the recognition of the following on the Group’s Statement of Financial Position: 
• 
• 
• 

a ROU asset of $30.3m; 
a lease liability of $36.9m;  
a net movement in deferred tax of $1.8m (comprised of an increase in deferred tax assets of $10.3m and deferred tax liabilities of $8.5m); 
and 
a decrease in retained earnings of $4.8m. 

• 

For the year ended 31 March 2020, the recognition of the following on the Group’s Statement of Comprehensive Income: 
• 
• 
• 
• 

a decrease in rental expense (included within Property and related expenses) of $8.6m;  
an increase in depreciation expense of $6.4m;  
an increase in finance costs of $1.9m; and  
a decrease in tax expense of $0.1m. 

As at 31 March 2020, the recognition of the following on the Group’s Statement of Financial Position: 
• 
• 
• 

a ROU asset of $23.9m; 
a lease liability of $30.1m; and  
a net movement in deferred tax of $1.7m (comprised of an increase in deferred tax assets of $8.4m and deferred tax liabilities of $6.7m); 
and 
a decrease in retained earnings of $4.5m. 

• 

For the year ended 31 March 2020, overall there would be no impact on the Group’s Statement of Cash flows, however there would be an 
increase in net cash from operating activities of $6.6m and corresponding decrease in net cash from/(used in) financing activities $6.6m. 

NZ IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts  
NZ IFRS 17, ‘Insurance Contracts’, will replace NZ IFRS 4, ‘Insurance Contracts’. Under the NZ IFRS 17, insurance contract liabilities will be 
calculated at the present value of future insurance cash flows with a provision for risk. The discount rate applied will reflect current interest 
rates. If the present value of future cash flows would produce a gain at the time an insurance contract is issued, the model would also require 
a  "contractual  service  margin"  to  offset  the  day  1  gain.  The  contractual  service  margin  would  be  amortized  over  the  life  of  the  insurance 
contract. There  would  also be  a  new  income statement  presentation for  insurance contracts,  including  a revised definition  of revenue  and 
additional disclosure requirements. NZ IFRS 17 will also have accommodations for certain specific types of insurance contracts. Short-duration 
insurance contracts  will be permitted to use  a simplified unearned  premium liability  model until  a claim  is incurred. For some contracts,  in 
which the cash flows are linked to underlying items, the liability value will reflect that linkage. 

The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. 

The Group is yet to assess the impact of NZ IFRS 17. The Group intends to adopt NZ IFRS 17 no later than the financial year beginning 1 
April 2021. 

3.3  Basis of consolidation 
Business combinations 
Business  combinations  are  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  as  at  the  acquisition  date,  which  is  the  date  on  which  control  is 
transferred to the Group. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an 
entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power over the entity. 

The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: 
• 
the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus 
• 
the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the aquiree; plus 
• 
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree; less 
• 
the net recognised amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 
When an excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business 
combination are expensed as incurred. 

Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, 
then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent 
consideration are recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income as appropriate. 

Acquisition of non-controlling interests 
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill 
is recognised as a result. Adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based 
on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. 

Subsidiaries 
Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in consolidated financial statements 
from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. 

Loss of control 
On loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components 
of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains an interest 
in  the previous subsidiary, the  interest is  measured  at fair  value  at  the date control  is lost. Subsequently  it  is  accounted for  as  an  equity-
accounted investee or as an available for sale asset depending on the influence retained. 

Investments in associates (equity accounted investees) 
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant 
influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. 

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognised initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes 
transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of 
equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence 
commences until the date that significant influence ceases. 

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 
Intra-group  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealised  income  and  expenses  arising  from  intra-group  transactions,  are  eliminated  in 
preparing the consolidated financial statements. 

3.4  Foreign currency 
Foreign currency transactions 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the 
transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency 
at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional 
currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency 
translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. 

Non-monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  that  are  measured  at  fair  value  are  retranslated  to  the  functional 
currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured 
based on historical costs are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. 
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss. 

Foreign operations   
The  assets  and liabilities  of foreign  operations, including  goodwill  and fair  value  adjustments  arising  on  acquisition,  are translated  to New 
Zealand  Dollars  at  exchange  rates  at  the  reporting  date.  The  income  and  expenses  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  to  New  Zealand 
Dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. 

Foreign  currency  differences  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income,  and  presented  in  the  foreign  currency  translation  reserve 
(translation  reserve)  in  equity.  When  a  foreign  operation  is  disposed  of  such  that  control,  significant  influence  or  joint  control  is  lost,  the 
cumulative  amount in  the translation reserve  related to that foreign  operation  is reclassified to profit  or  loss  as  part  of the gain  or loss  on 
disposal. When the Group disposes  of  only part  of  its interest in  a  subsidiary  that  includes  a foreign  operation  while retaining control, the 
relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment 
in an associate or joint venture, that includes a foreign operation, while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion 
of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. 

When the settlement  of  a  monetary item receivable from  or  payable to  a foreign  operation is neither planned  nor likely in the foreseeable 
future, foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  arising from such  a  monetary  item  are considered  to form part  of  a net  investment  in  a foreign 
operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity. 

3.5  Revenue and expense recognition 
The principal sources of revenue are sales of goods, sales of service, interest income, fees, commissions, and insurance premium income. 

3.5.1 Revenue from contracts with customers 
Sales of goods 
Sales of goods comprise sales of motor vehicle and commercial goods owned by the Group. Sales of goods are recognised when the customer 
gains control of the goods. This normally occurs on receipt of a deposit, full payment or approval of financing.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2019

There is no material amount of variable consideration under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant financing component. 

Sales of service 
Auction commission is recognised at a point in time in the accounting period in which the service is rendered. Payment for services is normally 
deducted from the proceeds from the sale. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There is no 
material amount of variable consideration under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant financing component. 

Other sales revenue comprises services rendered preparing the asset for sale and commission earned on the sale of third party products. 
Services rendered while preparing the asset for sale are recognised over time in the accounting period in which the service is rendered, and 
a contract asset is recognised for amounts relating to services rendered not yet invoiced. Payment for services rendered are either deducted 
from the proceeds from the sale or raised as a trade receivable. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the 
Group. There are no rebated or volume discounts. Commissions earned on the sale of third party products is recognised at a point in time 
when  the  sale  is  made.  Payment  is  usually  received  when  the  sale  is  made.  Other  than  those  provided  by  legislation  no  warranties  are 
provided by the Group. There are no rebates or volume discounts.  

Collection income, which is largely fees and commission earned for collecting debt on behalf of third parties and the sale of customised terms 
of trade documents, is recognised at a point in time in the accounting period in which the service is rendered, by reference to completion of 
the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total service to be provided. Payment is 
either deducted from the monies collected or raised as trade receivable and therefore a contract liability is recognised over the period in which 
the services are performed representing the Group’s right to consideration for the services performed to date. If the consideration promised 
includes a variable amount for rebates, refunds or credit, then the Group estimates the amount of variable consideration, to the extent that it 
is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur, and recognises a contract liability. 
Other  than  those  provided  by  legislation  no  warranties  are  provided  by  the  Group.  Costs  to  obtain  contracts  such  as  commissions  are 
recognised as contract assets and incurred when the related revenue for the contract is released to profit or loss. 

Voucher income 
Voucher income is the proceeds from the sale of a voucher that on presentation entitles the holder to either load a debt for collection or 
register of a security on the Personal Property Securities Register (‘PPSR’)., Voucher income is recognised, at a point in time, when the 
voucher is redeemed and the debtor’s information is loaded into the collection system or a security is registered on the PPSR. Payment is 
normally received when the voucher is sold, and voucher income is initially recognised as a contract liability. For those vouchers that are 
unredeemed, voucher income is recognised after a period of time based on historical non-redemption patterns. Estimates are readjusted as 
necessary based on movements in the actual non-redemption patterns. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided 
by the Group. There is no material amount of variable consideration under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant 
financing component. Costs to obtain contracts such as commissions are recognised as contract assets and incurred when the related 
revenue for the contract is released to profit or loss. 

For the accounting policies applied prior to the adoption of IFRS15 please refer to note 31. 

3.5.2 Financial instruments 
Interest income and expense 
Interest income and expense is recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method. 

The effective interest method calculates the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and allocates the interest income or interest 
expense over the relevant period. The calculation includes all fees paid or received and directly related transaction costs that are an integral 
part of the effective interest rate. The interest income or expense is allocated over the life of the instrument and is measured for inclusion in 
profit and loss by applying the effective interest rate to the instruments amortised cost. 

Lending and funding - fees and commissions 
Lending fee income (such as booking and establishment fees) that is integral to the effective yield of a loan held at amortised cost is capitalised 
as part of the amortised cost and deferred over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Lending fees not directly related to the 
origination of a loan (account maintenance fee) are recognised over the period of service. 

Under life investment contracts deposits are received from policyholders which are then invested on behalf of the policyholders. No premium 
income is recognised as revenue. Fees deducted from members' accounts are accounted for as fee income. 

Those direct and indirect costs incurred during the financial period arising from the acquiring or renewing of insurance contracts are deferred 
to the extent that these costs are recoverable out of future premiums from insurance contracts. All other acquisitions costs are recognised as 
an expense when incurred. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the deferred acquisitions cost asset (DAC) for life insurance contracts is amortised over the expected life of 
the contracts. DAC for general insurance contracts is amortised over the period in which the revenues are earned. 

An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable 
amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. DACs are also considered in the liability adequacy 
test for each reporting period. 

DACs are derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of. 

Claims expense 
Claims expenses represent claim payments adjusted for the movement in the outstanding claims liability. 

General insurance claims expenses are recognised when claims are notified with the exception of claims incurred but not reported for which 
a provision is estimated. Life insurance contract claims are recognised when a liability has been established. Claims under life investment 
contracts represent withdrawals of investment deposits and are recognised as a reduction in the life investment contract liabilities. 

3.5.4 Other 
Other income 
Dividend income is recorded in the profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividend is established.  

Other expense recognition 
All other expenses are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 

3.6  Financial instruments 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or 
issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added 
to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly 
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or 
loss. 

Financial assets 
All regular  way purchases  or sales  of financial  assets  are  recognised  and derecognised  on  a trade  date basis. Regular  way  purchases  or 
sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention 
in the marketplace. 

All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification 
of the financial assets. 

Classification of financial assets 
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost: 
• 

the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; 
and 
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest 
on the principal amount outstanding. 

Incremental  and directly  attributable costs (such  as commissions)  associated  with the  origination  of  a financial  asset (such  as  loans)  and 
financial liabilities (such as borrowings) are capitalised as part of the amortised cost and deferred over the life of the financial instrument using 
the effective interest method. 

• 

3.5.3 Insurance Contracts 
Premium income and acquisition costs 
Recurring premiums on life insurance contracts are recognised as revenue when payable by the policyholder. Where policies provide for the 
payment of amounts of premiums on specific due dates, such premiums are recognised as revenue when due. Unpaid premiums are only 
recognised as revenue during the days of grace and are not recognised where policies are deemed to have lapsed at reporting date. 

General insurance premiums comprise the total premiums payable for the whole period of cover provided by contracts entered into during the 
reporting period and are recognised on the date on which the policy commences. Premiums include any adjustments arising in the reporting 
period for premium receivables written in respect of business written in prior accounting periods. Premiums collected by intermediaries, but 
not yet received, are assessed based on known sales and are included in written premium. 

Unearned  premiums  are  those  proportion  of  premiums  written  in  a  year  that  relate  to  periods  of  risk  after  the  reporting  date.  Unearned 
premiums are calculated on a daily pro rata basis. The proportion attributable to subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned 
premiums.  

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): 
• 
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the 
financial assets; and 
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest 
on the principal amount outstanding. 

• 

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). 

Despite the foregoing, the Group may make the following irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition of a financial asset: 
• 

the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income if 
certain criteria are met; and 
the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing 
so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. 

• 

(i) Amortised cost and effective interest method 
The  effective  interest  method  is  a method  of calculating the  amortised cost  of  a financial  asset  and  of  allocating interest  income  over  the 
relevant period.

For  financial  assets  other  than  purchased  or  originated  credit
impaired  on  initial 
recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or 
received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit 
losses, through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the financial 
asset on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit
adjusted effective interest rate is calculated 
by  discounting  the  estimated  future  cash  flows,  including  expected  credit  losses,  to  the  amortised  cost  of  the  debt  instrument  on  initial 
recognition.

The  amortised  cost  of  a  financial  asset  is  the  amount  at  which  the  financial  asset  is  measured  at  initial  recognition  minus  the  principal 
repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity 
amount,  adjusted for  any loss  allowance. The  gross carrying  amount  of  a financial  asset  is the  amortised cost  of  a financial  asset before

Financial  assets  measured  at  amortised  cost  include  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  trade  receivables,  finance  receivables,  reverse  annuity 
mortgages and other receivables. 

• 

(ii) Financial assets at FVTPL 
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. Specifically: 
• 

Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Group designates an equity investment that is neither held for 
trading nor a contingent consideration arising from a business combination as at FVTOCI on initial recognition. 
Financial  assets  that  do not  meet the  amortised cost criteria  or the  FVTOCI criteria  are classified  as  at FVTPL. In  addition, financial 
assets that meet either the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such 
designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (so called ‘accounting mismatch’) that would 
arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Group has not designated 
any financial assets as at FVTPL. 

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in 
profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship (see hedge accounting policy). Fair value is determined in 
the manner described in note 5.5. 

Financial assets measured at FVTPL include unitised funds, fixed interest securities and term deposits. 

The Group has no financial assets measured at FVTOCI. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and contract assets. 
The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective 
financial instrument. 

The  Group  recognises  lifetime  ECL  for  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets.  The  expected  credit  losses  on  these  financial  assets  are 
estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, 
general  economic  conditions  and  an  assessment  of  both  the  current  as  well  as  the  forecast  direction  of  conditions  at  the  reporting  date, 
including time value of money where appropriate. 

For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial 
recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures 
the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12

month ECL. 

Lifetime  ECL  represents  the  expected  credit  losses  that  will  result  from  all  possible  default  events  over  the  expected  life  of  a  financial 
instrument.  In  contrast,  12
month  ECL  represents  the  portion  of  lifetime  ECL  that  is  expected  to  result  from  default  events  on  a  financial 
instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. 

‑

‑

(i) Significant increase in credit risk 
In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, 
the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the 
financial  instrument  at  the  date  of  initial  recognition.  In  making  this  assessment,  the  Group  considers  both  quantitative  and  qualitative 
information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward
looking information that is available without undue 
cost or effort.  

‑

The  nature  of  the  Group’s  finance  receivables  (second  tier  retail  and  commercial  lending)  means  there  is  little  or  no  updated  credit  risk 
information that is routinely obtained and monitored on an individual instrument until a customer breaches the contractual terms. 

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly

information that demonstrates otherwise. 

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and 
revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes 
past due. 

(ii) Definition of default 
The Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and 
supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

(iv) Write
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the borrower is in severe financial difficulty and there is no 
realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the borrower has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial 
assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where 
appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss. 

‑

v) Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses 
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there 
is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted 
by forward

looking information as described above. 

As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date. No further 
advances are allowed against financial assets in default. 

‑

For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in 
accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.  

If the Group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, 
but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Group measures the loss allowance at 
an amount equal to 12

month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used. 

The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying 
amount through a loss allowance account. 

‑

Derecognition of financial assets 
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the 
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest 
in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the 
proceeds received. 

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying 
amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss 

Financial liabilities 
All  financial  liabilities  are  measured  subsequently  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method  or  at  FVTPL.  However,  financial 
liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies 
are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below. 

Financial liabilities at FVTPL 
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, 
(ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL. 

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: 
• 
• 

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or 
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual 
pattern of short

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2019

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination may be 
designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if: 
• 
• 

such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or 
the financial liability forms part  of  a group  of financial  assets  or financial liabilities  or both,  which is  managed  and its performance  is 
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information 
about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or 
it  forms  part  of  a  contract  containing  one  or  more  embedded  derivatives,  and  IFRS  9  permits  the  entire  combined  contract  to  be 
designated as at FVTPL. 

• 

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss 
to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship (see Hedge accounting policy).  

However,  for  financial  liabilities  that  are  designated  as  at  FVTPL,  the  amount  of  change  in  the  fair  value  of  the  financial  liability  that  is 
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of 
changes  in the  liability’s credit  risk in  other comprehensive  income  would create  or  enlarge  an  accounting mismatch in profit  or  loss. The 
remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognised in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s 
credit risk that are recognised in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss; instead, they are transferred 
to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability. 

Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 5.5. 

Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL include contingent consideration. 

If a hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk management objective 
for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the Group adjusts the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship (i.e. rebalances the 
hedge) so that it meets the qualifying criteria again. 

Cash flow hedges 
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as 
cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to 
the  cumulative  change  in  fair  value  of  the  hedged  item  from  inception  of  the  hedge.  The  gain  or  loss  relating  to  the  ineffective  portion  is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when 
the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results 
financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income 
in the recognition of a non
financial  asset  or 
and  accumulated  in  equity  are  removed  from  equity  and  included  in  the  initial  measurement  of  the  cost  of  the  non
non
financial liability. This transfer does not affect other comprehensive income. Furthermore, if the Group expects that some or all of the loss 
accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve will not be recovered in the future, that amount is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria (after 
rebalancing,  if  applicable).  This  includes  instances  when  the  hedging  instrument  expires  or  is  sold,  terminated  or  exercised.  The 
discontinuation  is  accounted for  prospectively. Any  gain  or loss recognised in  other comprehensive income  and  accumulated in cash flow 
hedge  reserve  at  that  time  remains  in  equity  and  is  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  when  the  forecast  transaction  occurs.  When  a  forecast 
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in cash flow hedge reserve is reclassified immediately to profit or 
loss.

For the accounting policy applied prior to the adoption of IFRS9 please refer to note 31. 

Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost 
Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held
at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

‑

‑

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the 
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid 
or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected 
life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 
The Group derecognises financial  liabilities  when,  and  only  when, the Group’s  obligations  are discharged, cancelled  or  have  expired. The 
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit 
or loss. 

When the Group exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange 
is  accounted  for  as  an  extinguishment  of  the  original  financial  liability  and  the  recognition  of  a  new  financial  liability.  Similarly,  the  Group 
accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the 
recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the 
new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 percent different 
from  the  discounted  present  value  of  the  remaining  cash  flows  of  the  original  financial  liability.  If  the  modification  is  not  substantial,  the 
difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification 
should be recognised in profit or loss as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses. 

Derivative financial instruments 
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign 
exchange forward contracts, and interest rate swaps. 

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair 
value  at  each reporting  date. The resulting gain  or  loss is recognised in  profit  or  loss immediately  unless the derivative is designated  and 
effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. 

A derivative  with  a  positive fair  value is recognised  as  a financial  asset  whereas  a derivative  with  a  negative fair  value is recognised  as a 
financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the Group has both legal right and intention to offset.  

A derivative is presented as a non
and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities.

Hedge accounting 
The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of interest rate risk in cash flow hedges.  

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along 
with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge 
and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged 
item attributable to the hedged risk, which is when the hedging relationships meet all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: 
• 
• 
• 

there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; 
the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and 
the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually 
hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. 

Insurance contracts 

3.7 
Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk and are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of 
NZ IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The Group issues the following insurance contracts: 
• 

Long-term insurance contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms, these contracts insure events associated with human life (for example, 
death) over a long duration; 
Temporary life insurance contracts covering death disablement, disability and redundancy risks; and 
Short term motor vehicle contracts covering comprehensive, third party and mechanical breakdown risks. 

• 
• 

The  Group  has  determined  that  all  assets  of  the  Group’s  subsidiary,  DPL  Insurance  Limited,  are  assets  backing  policy  liabilities  and  are 
managed and reported in accordance with a mandate approved by the DPL Insurance Limited’s Board. 

The liability for life  insurance contracts  is determined  in  accordance with  Appendix C  of NZ IFRS  4 Insurance Contracts  and Professional 
Standard  No  20  of  the  New  Zealand  Society  of  Actuaries.  In  terms  of  these  standards,  the  liability  is  determined  using  the  methodology 
referred to as Margin on Service (MoS). Under MoS the excess premium received over claims and expenses, 'the profit margin', is recognised 
over the  life  of  the contract in  a  manner that  reflects the  pattern  of  risk  accepted from the policyholder  'the service'. Longer-term lines  of 
business (annuities, funeral plan) are valued using the projection method, and shorter-term life and longer-term life contracts written on yearly 
renewable premiums, are valued using the accumulation method, as provided for in NZ IFRS 4. 

General insurance contract liabilities include claims provision and the provision for unearned premium. The outstandings claims provision is 
based on the estimated ultimate cost of all claims incurred but not settled at the reporting date, whether reported or not, together with related 
claims handling cost and a reduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. Delays can be experienced in the notification 
and settlement of claims, therefore the ultimate cost of these cannot be known at reporting date and are estimated based on past experience. 
The liability is not discounted for the time value of money and is derecgonised when the obligation to pay the claim expires, is discharged or 
is cancelled. 

The provision for unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums received or receivable that relates to risks that have not yet expired 
at the reporting date. The provision is recognised when contracts are entered into and premiums are charged, and is brought to account as 
premium income over the term of the contract in accordance with the pattern of insurance service provided under the contract. 

 Liability adequacy testing is performed in terms of NZ IFRS 4 in order to test the adequacy of all insurance liabilities recorded in the statement 
of financial position, net of deferred acquisition costs. Liability adequacy testing is performed at a portfolio level of contracts that are subject 
to broadly similar risks and are managed together as a single portfolio. 

3.8  Life investment contracts 
Life investment contracts are those contracts with minimal insurance risk and are accounted for in accordance with NZ IFRS 15 'Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers' (refer note 3.5.1) and NZ IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' (refer note 3.5.2). The life investment contacts are 
unit-linked and fair value of a unit linked contract is determined using the current unit values that reflect the fair value of the financial assets 
backing the contract, multiplied by the number of units attributable to the contract holder. 

Inventories 

3.9 
Inventories comprise primarily motor vehicles held for sale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost comprises purchase 
price, shipping cost, compliance cost and other sundry related costs. Estimated selling prices are based upon recent observed vehicle sales 
prices for comparable vehicles. 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.

3.10 Investment property 
Investment property is held for capital appreciation and comprises land that was transferred from finance receivables through the exercise of 
the Group’s security interest in a finance receivable that was in default.  

Investment property is initially recognised at fair value on date of transfer or purchase and subsequently carried at fair value. The fair value of 
investment properties is determined by a qualified independent external valuer (refer note 17). 

Any gains or losses arising from a change in fair value of the investment property is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure is 
charged to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group 
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the period in 
which they are incurred. 

3.11 Property, plant and equipment 
Property,  plant  and  equipment  are recognised  in the statement  of financial position  at cost less  accumulated depreciation  and impairment 
losses. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated on all other property, plant and equipment on a diminishing value or straight-line 
basis to allocate the costs, net of any residual amounts, over their useful lives.  

3.15 Impairment of non-financial assets 
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment 
annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. 

Other  assets  are  tested  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be 
recoverable.  The  Group  conducts  an  annual  internal  review  of  asset  values,  which  is  used  as  a  source  of  information  to  assess  for  any 
indicators  of  impairment.  External  factors,  such  as  changes  in  expected  future  processes,  technology  and  economic  conditions,  are  also 
monitored for indicators of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. 

An  impairment  loss is recognised for the  amount  by  which the  asset’s carrying  amount  exceeds its recoverable  amount. The recoverable 
amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is determined by estimating future cash flows 
from the use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting these to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current 
market rates and the risks specific to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which 
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Impairment losses directly reduce the carrying amount of assets and are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

The rates for the following asset classes are: 

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

3.12 Intangible assets 
Intangible assets comprise goodwill, acquired separable corporate brands, acquired customer relationships and computer software. Goodwill 
and corporate brands are indefinite life intangibles subject to annual impairment testing. 

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or 
groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, identified according 
to operating segment. 

Corporate brands and customer relationships acquired as part of a business combination are capitalised separately from goodwill as intangible 
assets if their  value can  be  measured reliably  on  initial recognition  and  it  is  probable  that the  expected future  economic  benefits that  are 
attributable to the asset will flow to the Group. 

Corporate  relationship  assets  are  amortised  on  the  straight  line  basis  over  the  expected  life  (2  –  10  years)  of  the  relationship  and  are 
recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 

Computer software is recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 

Direct costs associated with the purchase and installation of software licences and the development of software for internal use are capitalised 
where project success is probable and the capitalisation criteria is met. Cost associated with planning and evaluating computer software and 
maintaining a system after implementation are expensed. Computer software costs are amortised on a diminishing value basis (rate of 50%) 
or on a straight-line basis (one to five years). 

3.13 Leases in which the Group is lessee 
Leases  in  which  a significant portion  of the risks  and rewards  of  ownership  are retained  by the lessor  are classified  as  operating leases. 
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis 
over the period of the lease. 

3.14 Taxation 
Income tax for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in the profit 
or loss,  except  when they relate to  items that  are recognised  outside profit  or loss (whether  in  other comprehensive  income  or  directly  in 
equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at balance date 
after taking advantage of all allowable deductions under current taxation legislation and any adjustment to tax liabilities in respect of previous 
years. 

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of 
realisation or settlement of the amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted as at balance date. 

Deferred taxation assets arising from temporary differences or income tax losses, are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that a 
future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred taxation assets are reduced to the extent that it is no 
longer probable that the related tax asset will be realised. Any reduction is recognised in profit or loss. 

3.16 Managed funds  
DPL Insurance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, has saving plans, which are not open to new members, with assets managed by a third 
party investment manager. The assets and liabilities of these funds are included in the financial statements. 

3.17 Employee benefits 
Wages, salaries and annual leave  
Liabilities for wages, salaries and annual leave are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Long service leave 
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and 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 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 corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

Profit sharing and bonus plans  
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit 
attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises an accrual where contractually obliged or where 
there is a practice that has created a constructive obligation. 

Share based payments 
The cost of options issued to employees under the Group’s share option plan is measured by reference to fair value of the options at the date 
on which they are granted. Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair 
value, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that 
will ultimately vest. Market conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value.  

The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised over the vesting period. If the service condition is not met during the vesting period, the 
expense is revised to reflect the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Where awards include market 
and non-vesting conditions, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting conditions is satisfied, 
provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.  

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share refer note 9). 

Superannuation plans  
The  Group  pays  contributions  to  superannuation  plans,  such  as  Kiwisaver.  The  Group  has  no  further  payment  obligations  once  the 
contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions 
are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. 

3.18 Statement of cash flows 
The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the direct approach modified by netting certain cash flows in order to provide more 
meaningful disclosure to better reflect the activities of the Group's customers or the party providing funding to the Group than those of the 
Group. These include reverse annuity mortgages, finance receivables and borrowings. 

3.19 Comparatives 
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and represented for consistency with current year. Comparative information 
has not been restated for the impact on application of NZ IFRS 15 and NZ IFRS 9. 

4.  USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 
In  preparing  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  NZ  IFRS,  IFRS  and  applicable  reporting  standards  management  has  made 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and about the future that affect the reported amounts

of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates. 

Estimates  and  assumptions  are continually  evaluated  and  are  based  on historical  experience  and  other factors, including  expectations  of 
future  events  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  The  principal  areas  of  judgement  in  preparing  these  financial 
statements are set out below. 

Provision for impairment on loan receivables 
Significant increase in credit risk 
As explained in note 3.6, ECL are measured as an allowance equal to 12 month ECL for performing assets, or lifetime ECL for doubtful or in 
default assets. An asset moves to doubtful when its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. IFRS 9 does not define what 
constitutes a significant increase in credit risk. In assessing whether the credit risk of an asset has significantly increased the Group takes into 
account qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward looking information. 

Calculation of loss allowance 
When measuring ECL the Group uses reasonable and supportable forward looking information, which is based on assumptions for the future 
movement of different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each other. 

Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those 
that the Group would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements. 

Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given 
time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions. 

If the ECL rates on performing finance receivables increased/(decreased) by 1% higher (lower) as at 31 March 2019, the loss allowance on 
finance receivables would have been $0.024 million higher/(lower). 

If the ECL rates on doubtful or in default finance receivables increased/(decreased) 1% higher (lower) as at 31 March 2019, the loss allowance 
on finance receivables would have been $0.153 million higher/(lower). 

Impairment of goodwill 
The carrying value of goodwill is assessed at least annually to ensure that it is not impaired. Performing this assessment generally requires 
management  to  estimate  future  cash  flows  to  be  generated  by  the  cash-generating  unit,  which  entails  making  judgements,  including  the 
expected rate of growth of revenues, margins expected to be achieved and the appropriate discount rate to apply when valuing future cash 
flows (refer note 20). A sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amounts of the CGU’s is disclosed in note 20. 

When  estimating  future  cash  flows,  Management’s  judgements  include  forecasting  year-on-year  movements  in  the  operating  assets  of 
individual CGUs such as: 
• 

for the Finance and Turners Group (NZ) CGUs, the movement in their portfolios of finance receivables and related movement in debt 
financing; 
for the Turners Group (NZ) and Buy Right Cars CGUs, the movement in inventory levels, trade payables and related movement trade 
financing; and 
for  the  DPL  Insurance  CGU,  the  movement  in  deferred  insurance  contract  premiums  and  acquisition  costs,  and  solvency  capital 
requirements.

Liabilities arising from claims made under insurance contracts 
Liabilities arising from claims made under insurance contracts are estimated based on the terms of cover provided under an insurance contract. 

The estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts is based on a number of actuarial techniques that 
analyse experience, trends and other relevant factors. The estimate process involves using Group specific data, relevant industry data and 
general economic data, including but not limited to, claim frequencies, average claim sizes and historical trends (refer note 34A). 

Impairment of corporate brands 
The carrying values of brands are assessed at least annually to ensure that it is not impaired. Performing this assessment generally requires 
management  to  estimate  future  cash  flows  to  be  generated  by  the  related  investment  or  a  cash-generating  unit,  which  entails  making 
judgements, including the expected rate of growth of revenues, margins expected to be achieved and the appropriate discount rate to apply 
when valuing future cash flows (refer note 20). 

Unredeemed voucher liabilities 
The Group's  estimate  of the unredeemed  voucher liability is based  on  historic redemption patterns. Changes in the redemption  pattern  of 
unredeemed vouchers could affect the reported value of this liability. At year end, the Group readjusted the unredeemed prepaid collection 
voucher liability write off methodology based on movements in the actual redemption patterns to reflect the continued decline in the redemption 
of  historically  issued  prepaid  collection  vouchers.  The  change  in  accounting  estimate  resulted  in  a  $0.2m  (2018:  $0.7m)  decrease  in  the 
unredeemed voucher liability (note 23). 

Valuation of investment properties 
The fair value of the investment property has been determined by an independent qualified valuer. Note 17 sets out the valuation 
methodology, key assumptions and sensitivity analysis. The fair value of the investment property is subjective and changes to the 
assumptions can have a significant impact on profit and the fair value. 

The derecognition of finance receivables 
The Group follows the guidance in and NZ IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', in transactions where substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership of a financial asset are neither retained nor transferred, the Group derecognises the transferred asset if control over that asset is 
relinquished. The rights and obligations retained in the transfer, such as servicing assets and liabilities, are recognised separately as assets 
and liabilities, as appropriate. If control over the asset is retained, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing 
involvement, which is determined by the extent to which it remains exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset. This 
determination of whether risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset are neither retained nor transferred requires significant 
judgement (refer note 3.6). Prior to derecognition, the Group assesses whether the finance receivables qualify for derecognition using the 
criteria noted above. 

Fair value measurement 
The fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined using discounted cash flow models. To the extent 
practical, models use observable data however normal volatilities require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about 
these factors could affect the reported fair values of financial instruments (refer note 11 and 22). 

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is 
regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or 
regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted 
market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. 

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by 
using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as 
possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in 
level 2. 

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. The fair value of level 3 
instruments is determined by using valuation techniques based on a range of unobservable inputs. The Group establishes fair value by 
using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially 
the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances. Investments in 
equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured are 
recognised and subsequently carried at cost. 

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments in each level are detailed in notes 5.5 and 17. 

5.  RISK MANAGEMENT 
The financial condition and operating results of the Group are affected by a number of key financial and non-financial risks. Financial risks 
include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The non-financial risks include insurance risk, which is covered in note 34, and fair value risk 
relating to the Group’s Investment property.

5.2  Credit risk 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises 
principally from the Group's cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
(excluding equities held in unitised funds), trade receivables, finance receivables, reverse annuity mortgages, and other receivables. 

The Group’s cash  and cash  equivalents, derivative financial instruments  and financial  assets  at fair  value through profit  or  loss (excluding 
equities in unitised funds) are placed with registered banks.

Management assesses the credit quality of trade customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. 
Individual risk limits are set based on these assessments. The use of credit limits by trade customers is regularly monitored by management. 
Sales to public customers are settled in cash, bank cheques or using major credit cards, mitigating the credit risk. 

To manage credit on finance receivables the Group performs credit evaluations on all customers requiring advances. The approval process 
considers a number of factors including: borrower’s past performance, ability to repay, amount of money to be borrowed against the security 
and the creditworthiness of the guarantor/co-borrower involved. 
The Group operates a lending policy with various levels of authority depending on the size of the loan. A lending and credit committee operates 
and overdue loans are assessed on a regular basis by this body.  

Risk grades categorise  loans  according  to the  degree  of risk  of financial loss faced  and focuses management  on the  attendant risks. The 
current risk grading framework consists of four grades reflecting varying degrees of risk of default and the availability of collateral or other 
credit risk mitigation. They are as follows: 
• 
• 
• 
• 

performing – the counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past due amounts; 
doubtful –amount is > 30 days past due or there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition; 
in default - amount is > 90 days past due or evidence indicating the asset is credit impaired; and 
write-off – there is evidence indicating the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Group has no realistic prospect of recovery. 

The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for 
finance receivables are: 
• 
• 

mortgages over properties, with the maximum loan to value rate being 75%; 
mortgages over houses for reverse annuity mortgages, with a maximum loan to value ratio of 30% at inception (no new reverse annuity 
mortgages have been advanced since 2009); 
charges over vehicle stock for dealer floorplans; 
chattel paper where the Group acts as a wholesale funder; 
charges over business assets such as equipment; and 
charges over motor vehicles. 

• 
• 
• 
• 

For finance receivables secured by collateral, estimates of the value of collateral are assessed at the time of borrowing, and are not updated 
unless the receivable is being assessed for specific impairment. The allowance for impairment includes the Group's estimate of the value of 
collateral held. 

For Life investment linked contracts the investments credit risk is appropriate for each particular product and the risk is borne by the policy 
holder. There is no significant risk assumed by the Group. 

5.3  Liquidity risk  
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities as they fall due. 

The Group endeavours to maintain sufficient funds to meet its commitments based on forecasted cash flow requirements. Due to the dynamic 
nature  of  the  underlying  businesses,  flexibility  is  maintained  by  having  diverse  funding  sources  and  adequate  committed  credit  facilities. 
Management has internal control processes and contingency plans to actively manage the lending and borrowing portfolios to ensure the net 
exposure to liquidity risk is minimised. The exposure is reviewed on an on-going basis from daily procedures to monthly reporting as part of 
the Group's liquidity management process. 

The liquidity risk for cash flows payable on the life investment contracts liabilities that are unit linked contracts is managed by holding a pool 
of readily tradable investment assets (included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) and deposits on call. The liability and 
supporting assets have been excluded from the maturity analysis below because there is no contractual or expected maturity date for the life 
investment contracts  and the readily tradable investment  assets  offset  any  liquidity risk. The  liquidity risk  on  other insurance cash flows  is 
managed by holding designated percentages of insurance reserves in liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents. 

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities and net settled derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based 
on the remaining period at reporting date to contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual and the expected 
undiscounted cash flows.

5.4  Market Risk 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices, will affect the Group's 
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 

5.4.1  Insurance business 
For the investment linked policies the market risk is transferred to the policy holder. The Group earns fees on investment linked policies that 
are based on the amount of assets invested and it may receive lower fees should markets fall. Asset allocation for investment linked policies 
is decided by the Policy Holder. 

In the other insurance business, market risk arises when there is a mismatch between the insurance policy liabilities and the assets backing 
those liabilities. Refer to note 34K for insurance liabilities interest rate sensitivity. The  insurance  business has no significant currency  and 
equity risk. 

5.4.2  Interest rate risk 
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss to the Group arising from adverse changes in interest rates. The Group's financing activities are exposed 
to interest rate risk in respect of its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Changes to interest rates can impact the Group's 
financial results by affecting the interest spread earned on these assets and liabilities. 

Interest rates are managed by assessing the demand for funds, new lending, expected debt repayments and maintaining a portfolio of financial 
assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, with a sufficient spread between the Group's lending and borrowing activities. 
Exposure to interest rates is monitored by the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. 

The  interest rates  earned  on finance receivables  are fixed  over the  term  of the contract. When  approving  interest rates for individual loan 
advances,  interest rate risk is  measured in  accordance  with the  approved  lending  policy. The Group uses interest  rate swap contracts to 
convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. No exchange of principal takes place. The notional principal amount of interest 
rate  swaps  at  31  March  2019  was  $74m  (2018:  $70m)  and  weighted  average  interest  was  2.23%  (2018:  2.24%).  There  was  no  hedge 
ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss during the period (2018: $nil). 

Turners Finance Limited borrows at fixed rates to fund finance receivables. The terms and the amounts of the finance payables are matched 
to each corresponding finance receivable, for which the lending rates are also fixed at inception, thus eliminating the cash flow interest rate 
risk on these financial instruments. 

The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities to interest rate risk.

5.4.3  Currency risk 
The Group is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Australian Dollars (‘AUD’) and 
Japanese Yen (‘JPY’). Currency risk arises from the future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investment in 
foreign operations. 

To ensure the net exposure to EC Credit Control (Aust) Pty Ltd, which has AUD as its functional currency, is kept to an acceptable level, the 
Group has a comprehensive transfer pricing policy and converts the AUD unredeemed voucher liability (refer note 23) into a NZD liability by 
selling the AUD liability to the New Zealand entity that will be providing the relevant services to settle the liability when the voucher is redeemed. 

To limit its exposure to JPY, the Group hedges the anticipated cash flows (mainly purchased inventory) when the commitment is made. All 
projected purchases qualify as ‘highly probable’ forecast transactions for hedge accounting purposes. 

The table below summarises the Group’s financial exposure to currency risk.

5.4.4 Equity price risk 
Equity price risk is the risk that the Group's profit or loss will fluctuate as a result of changes in share prices. The Group is exposed to equity 
price risk through its investment in MTF Shares. A +1%/-1% movement in the MTF share price will increase/(decrease) profit and equity by 
$36k/($36k) (2018: $36k/($36k)).  

5.5  Assets and liabilities carried at fair value:   
The fair value of assets and liabilities carried at fair value as well as the methods used to calculate fair value are summarised in the table 
below. 

Level 1 
Level 2 

Level3 

the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. 
the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either 
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). 
the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Fair value insurance 
The  financial  assets  in  this  category  back  life  investment  contract  liabilities  and  are  investments  in  managed  funds.  The  fair  value  of  the 
investments in the managed funds are determined by reference to published exit prices, being the redemption price based on the market price 
quoted by the fund manager, ANZ New Zealand Investments Limited (refer 5.4.1). 

Fair value assets - investment in equities 
The fair value of the investment in equities has been estimated by reference to recent transactions with MTF shares (refer 5.4.4). 

Fair value liability - term deposits and fixed interest securities 
Term deposits are recognised at fair value based on the interest rate set at inception of the term deposit (refer 5.4.2). 

Fair value - investment property 
The fair value of investment property was determined by an independent registered valuer using the comparable sales methodology (refer 
note 17). 

This is a level 3 fair value measurement and the key output used in determining the consideration is the probable sales price. A change in 
sales price of +/- 5% would increase/(decrease) the total fair value and profit or loss by $0.3m/($0.3m). 

Financial liability at fair value through profit or loss – contingent consideration 
The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using estimates of the expected pay out discounted at current borrowing rates. 

These financial liabilities are exposed to interest rate risk as disclosed above.

Derivative cash flow hedges 
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at balance date, with the resulting value discounted 
to present value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows based on observable 
yield curves. 

Revenue from external customers reported to the Board of Directors is measured on the same basis as revenue reported in the profit or loss. Inter-
segment transactions are done on an arms length basis. The Group has no customers representing 10% or more of the Group's revenues.

Currency risk
A summarised analysis of the sensitivity of financial assets included in other receivables to currency risk can be found in note 5.4.

Fair value and credit risk
Due to the short-term nature of trade receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The maximum exposure to
credit risk from trade receivables at the reporting date is the carrying amount of trade receivables. Credit risk is concentrated predominantly in
New Zealand within the motor trade sector and private household sector, there is no concentration of credit risk on any individual customer.

Refer to note 5 for more information on the risk management policies of the Group.

The following table details the risk profile of the Group's provision matrix for finance receivables collectively assessed for impairment. As the 
Group's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss 
allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group's different customer base.

The fair values are based on cash flows discounted using a weighted average interest rate of 14.46% (2018: 15.01%).

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of finance receivables which is net of any provision for impairment.
The reported credit risk exposure does not take into account the fair value of any collateral, in event of the counterparties failing to meet their
contractual obligation.

Refer to note 5 for more information on the risk management policies of the Group.

Securitisation
The Group has a wholesale funding facility with the Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) under which it securitises finance receivables through The
Turners Marque Warehouse Trust 1 (the Trust). Under the facility, BNZ provide funding to the Trust secured by finance receivables sold to the
Trust from the finance sector. The facility is for a 24 month term that will be renewed annually. The facility is for $184m.

The Trust is a special purpose entity set up solely for the purpose of purchasing finance receivables from the finance sector with the BNZ funding
up to 92% of the purchase price with the balance funded by sub-ordinated notes from the Group. The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company
Limited has been appointed Trustee for the Trust and NZGT Security Trustee Limited as the security trustee. The Company is the sole
beneficiary.

The Group has the power over the Trust, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Trust and the ability to use its
power over the Trust to affect the amount of the Group's returns from the Trust. Consequently the Group controls the Trust and has consolidated
the Trust into the Group financial statements.

The Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the finance receivables sold and therefore the finance receivables do not
qualify for derecognition and remain on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position.

During the financial year $114.5m finance receivables were sold to the Trust (2018: $144.5m). As at 31 March 2019 the carrying value of finance
receivables in the Trust was $175.3m (2018: $145.6m).

The fair value of reverse annuity mortgages is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on a current market interest rate for similar
products after making allowances for impairment.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of reverse annuity mortgages which is net of any provision for
impairment. The reported credit risk exposure does not take into account the fair value of any collateral, in event of the counterparties failing to
meet their contractual obligation.  All reverse annuity mortgages are secured by residential property in New Zealand.

The impairment and amortisation is recognised in other operating expenses in profit or loss.

Impairment testing for cash-generating units (CGU) containing brands and goodwill
The aggregate carrying amounts of brands and goodwill allocated to the cash generating units are outlined below. Goodwill primarily relates to
growth expectations, expected future profitability and the substantial skill and expertise of
the cash generating unit.
Management have assessed that there is no foreseeable limit to the period of time over which the goodwill and brand is expected to generate net
cash inflows for the Group, and as such goodwill and brand have been assessed as having an indefinite useful life.

The recoverable amount of all CGUs has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are
extrapolated using the estimated long term growth rates stated below. The growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the
products, industries, or country or countries in which the CGU operates. For each of the CGUs with goodwill and brand the key assumptions, long
term growth rate and discount rate used in the value-in-use calculations are as follows.

Insurance CGU

The year 1 forecast cash flows were extrapolated using the following growth rates; year 2 - 12.7%; year 3 - 3.2%; year 4 - 2.5%; year 5 - 2.5%
and a terminal rate of 1.5% (2018: year 2 - 23%; year 3 - 3%, years 4 - -15%; year 5 - 1% and 2% terminal rate). A pre-tax discount rate of 13.1%
(2018: 12.4% ) was applied in determining the recoverable amount. The discount rate was established based on weighted average cost of capital
taking into account the specific attributes and size of the CGU (2018: weighted average cost of capital taking into account the specific attributes
and size of the CGU).

In assessing the impairment of the goodwill and brand value in the insurance CGU, a sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in key
assumptions was performed. This included increasing and reducing the terminal growth rate by 0.5% (2018:
increasing and reducing the
terminal growth rate by 1%) and increasing and decreasing the discount rate by 1% (2018: 1%). These reasonably possible changes in rates did
not cause any impairment.

Collection services CGU

The year 1 forecast cash flows were extrapolated using the following growth rates; year 2 - 0.2%; year 3 - 5%, year 4 - 5% and year 5 - 5% and a
terminal rate of 1.5% (2018: year 2 - 11%; year 3 - 6%, year 4 - 4%; year 5 - 5.0% and a terminal rate of 2.0%). A pre-tax discount rate of 13.6%
(2018: 14.0% ) was applied in determining the recoverable amount. The discount rate was established based on weighted average cost of capital
taking into account the specific attributes and size of the CGU (2018: weighted average cost of capital taking into account the specific attributes
and size of the CGU).

In assessing the impairment of the goodwill
in the collection services CGU, a sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in key
assumptions was performed. This included increasing and reducing the terminal growth rate by 0.5% (2018: increasing and reducing the terminal
growth rate by 1%) and increasing and decreasing the discount rate by 1% (2018: 1%). These reasonably possible changes in rates did not
cause any impairment.

Finance CGU
The year 1 forecast cash flows were extrapolated using the following growth rates; year 2 - 30.7%, year 3 - 20.4%, year 4 - 5.0%, year 5 - 5.0%
and a terminal rate of 1.5% (2018: year 2 - 290%; year 3 - 19%, year 4 to 5 - 5.0% and a terminal rate of 2.0%). A pre-tax discount rate of 18.1%
(2018: 19.0%) was applied in determining the recoverable amount. The discount rate was established based on the cost of equity of the finance
businesses taking into account the specific attributes and size (2018: based on the cost of equity of the finance businesses taking into account
the specific attributes and size).

In assessing the impairment of the goodwill in finance businesses, a sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in key assumptions was
performed. This included increasing and reducing the terminal growth rate by 0.5% (2018; 1%) increasing and decreasing the discount rate by
1% (2018: 1%). These reasonably possible changes in rates did not cause any impairment.

(2018: 18.1% ) was applied in determining the recoverable amount. The discount rate was established based on the cost of equity of TGNZ

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2019

31  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY 
Impact of the adoption of NZ IFRS 15 and NZ IFRS 9. 
This note explains the impact of the adoption of NZ IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customer’ and NZ IFRS 9 ‘Financial 
Instruments’.  

The Group adopted NZ IFRS 15 and NZ IFRS 9 from 1 April 2018. 

NZ IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ 
NZ IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle being 
for entities to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, 
payment) to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The five step approach is as follows: 
•  Step 1: Identify the contracts with the customer; 
•  Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations; 
•  Step 3: Determine the transaction price; 
•  Step 4: Allocate the transaction price; and 
•  Step 5: Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. 

The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying 
each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a 
contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling the contract. 

For the revenue streams impacted by this standard please refer to note 3.5. 

Impact of the adoption of NZ IFRS 15 on the Group’s financial statements 
The Group elected to apply the cumulative effect method, with no restatement of comparative period amounts. The cumulative effect of 
applying the new standard is included as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings recognised in the Statement of changes 
in equity for the year ended 31 March 2019. 

The Group’s revenue recognition policies remain largely the same with the following exceptions: 

Sales of service- Collection income 
The  Group  has  concluded  that  collection  income  should  be  recognised  when  the  service  is  rendered.  The  adoption  of  NZ  IFRS  15  has 
impacted the timing of when some collection income and the related costs are recognised resulting ($273,000) adjustment to opening retained 
earnings (net of tax and deferred tax). 

Motor Vehicle Insurance (MVI) Commission Income 
The Group has used the portfolio approach to account for contracts of the same nature. It has been assessed that MVI commission income 
should be recognised over the policy term. The adoption of NZ IFRS 15 has impacted the timing of when MVI Commission Income should 
be recognised resulting in a ($72,000) adjustment to retained earnings (net of deferred tax). 

NZ IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’  
NZ IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It 
replaces the guidance in NZ IAS 39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement', that relates to the classification and 
measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary 
measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘OCI’) and fair value through 
profit and loss. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the 
financial asset. 

Impairment 
The adoption of NZ IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the Group’s accounting for impairment for financial assets by replacing NZ IAS 39’s 
incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach. 

NZ IFRS 9 requires the Group to record an allowance for ECLs for all financial receivables and other debt financial assets not held at fair 
value through profit and loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and 
all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the asset’s original effective 
interest rate. 

Impact of the adoption of NZ IFRS 9 on the Group’s financial statements 
The Group has chosen not to restate comparative information and adjustments required by the application of the new standard have been 
made to the opening balance of retained earnings recognised in the Statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 March 2019. 

The Group’s classification of financial assets and liabilities under NZ IFRS 9 remains largely the same as it was under NZ IAS 39. Loans 
and receivables under NZ IAS 39 are now named as Amortised cost. There have been no changes in categorisations. 

The adoption of the ECL requirements of NZ IFRS 9 resulted in increases in impairment allowances for the Group’s Finance receivables. 
The increase in allowance resulted in ($2,292,000) (net of deferred tax) adjustment to retained earnings.

Accounting policies 
For the Group’s current accounting policies for revenue recognition refer to accounting policy 3.5 on page 37 and for financial instruments 
refer to accounting policy 3.6 on page 39 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019. 

Group’s previous policies for revenue recognition: 
Revenue and expense recognition 
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and that the revenue can be reliably 
measured. The principal sources of revenue are sales of goods, sales of service, interest income, fees, commissions, and insurance 
premium income. 

Sales of goods 
Sales of goods comprise sales of motor vehicle and commercial goods owned by the Group. Sales of goods are recognised when the risks 
and rewards of ownership are transferred, which is when the customer gains control of the goods. This normally occurs on receipt of a 
deposit, full payment or approval of financing. 

Sales of service 
Sales of service comprise auction commission and other auction revenue, collection income, fee and commission revenue. Sales of service 
income is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction 
assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided. 

Interest income and expense 
Interest income and expense is recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method. 

The effective interest method calculates the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and allocates the interest income or 
interest expense over the relevant period. The calculation includes all fees paid or received and directly related transaction costs that are an

integral part of the effective interest rate. The interest income or expense is allocated over the life of the instrument and is measured for 
inclusion in profit and loss by applying the effective interest rate to the instruments amortised cost. 

The Group’s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise investment in unitised funds, fixed interest securities, term deposits 
and foreign exchange derivatives. 

Lending and funding - fees and commissions 
Lending fee income (such as booking and establishment fees) that is integral to the effective yield of a loan held at amortised cost is 
capitalised as part of the amortised cost and deferred over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Lending fees not directly 
related to the origination of a loan (account maintenance fee) are recognised over the period of service. 

Incremental and directly attributable costs (such as commissions) associated with the origination of a financial asset (such as loans) and 
financial liabilities (such as borrowings) are capitalised as part of the amortised cost and deferred over the life of the financial instrument 
using the effective interest method. 

Premium income and acquisition costs 
Recurring premiums on life insurance contracts are recognised as revenue when payable by the policyholder. Where policies provide for the 
payment of amounts of premiums on specific due dates, such premiums are recognised as revenue when due. Unpaid premiums are only 
recognised as revenue during the days of grace and are not recognised where policies are deemed to have lapsed at reporting date. 

General insurance premiums comprise the total premiums payable for the whole period of cover provided by contracts entered into during 
the reporting period and are recognised on the date on which the policy commences. Premiums include any adjustments arising in the 
reporting period for premium receivables written in respect of business written in prior accounting periods. Premiums collected by 
intermediaries, but not yet received, are assessed based on known sales and are included in written premium. 

Unearned premiums are those proportion of premiums written in a year that relate to periods of risk after the reporting date. Unearned 
premiums are calculated on a daily pro rata basis. The proportion attributable to subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned 
premiums.  

Under life investment contracts deposits are received from policyholders which are then invested on behalf of the policyholders. No premium 
income is recognised as revenue. Fees deducted from members' accounts are accounted for as fee income. 

Those direct and indirect costs incurred during the financial period arising from the acquiring or renewing of insurance contracts are deferred 
to the extent that these costs are recoverable out of future premiums from insurance contracts. All other acquisitions costs are recognised 
as an expense when incurred. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the deferred acquisitions cost asset (DAC) for life insurance contracts is amortised over the expected life of 
the contracts. DAC for general insurance contracts is amortised over the period in which the revenues are earned. 

An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the 
recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. DACs are also considered in the 
liability adequacy test for each reporting period. 

DACs are derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of. 

Voucher income 
Voucher income is initially recognised as an unredeemed voucher liability. Voucher income is recognised when the voucher is redeemed. 
For those vouchers that are unredeemed and have an expiry date, income is recognised on expiry. For those vouchers that are 
unredeemed and have no expiry date, voucher income is recognised after a period of time based on historical non-redemption patterns. 
Estimates are readjusted as necessary based on movements in the actual non-redemption patterns.  

Other income 
Dividend income is recorded in the profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividend is established.  

Claims expense 
Claims expenses represent claim payments adjusted for the movement in the outstanding claims liability. 

General insurance claims expenses are recognised when claims are notified with the exception of claims incurred but not reported for which 
a provision is estimated. Life insurance contract claims are recognised when a liability has been established. Claims under life investment 
contracts represent withdrawals of investment deposits and are recognised as a reduction in the life investment contract liabilities. 

Other expense recognition 
All other expenses are recognised in profit or loss as incurred 

Group’s previous accounting policies for financial instruments 
Financial assets  
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, 
held to maturity investments and available for sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets 
were acquired. Financial assets are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months, otherwise they are classified as 
non-current. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
This category has two sub categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. 
A  financial  asset  is  classified  in  this  category  if  acquired  principally  for  the  purpose  of  selling  in  the  short  term  or  if  so  designated  by 
management. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.  

Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. 

The Group’s loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, finance receivables, reverse annuity mortgages 
and other receivables. 

Held to maturity investments 
The Group does not have any financial assets classified as held to maturity. 

Available for sale financial assets 
The Group does not have any financial assets classified as available for sale. 

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the 
asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or 
loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed through 
profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been 
transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Available for sale financial assets and financial 
assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity investments are 
carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.  

Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are 
included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair 
value of securities classified as available for sale are recognised in other comprehensive income, except for foreign exchange movements 
on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the 
accumulated fair value adjustments are included in profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities. Dividend income from 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the income statement as part of other income when the Group’s right to 
receive payments is established. 

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets 
is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence 
of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or 
events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. 
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or 
delinquency  in  interest  or  principal  payments,  the  probability  that  they  will  enter  bankruptcy  or  other  financial  reorganisation,  and  where 
observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in economic conditions that 
correlate  with defaults. For the  loans  and receivables category, the  amount  of the loss is measured  as the difference between  the  asset’s 
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted 
at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised 
through profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss 
is current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of 
an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the 
decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit 
rating), the reversal of previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the through profit or loss. 

Cash and cash equivalents  
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original 
maturities  of  three  months  or  less  that  are  readily  convertible  to  known  amounts  of  cash  and  which  are  subject  to  an  insignificant  risk  of 
changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings on the statement of financial position. 

Finance, trade and other receivables and reverse annuity mortgages  
Receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method,  less 
provision for impairment.  

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision 
for  impairment  of  receivables  is  established  when  there  is  objective  evidence  that  the  Group  will  not  be  able  to  collect  all  amounts  due 
according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy 
or  financial  reorganisation,  and  default  or  delinquency  in  payments  (more  than  30  days  overdue)  are  considered  objective  evidence  of 
impairment.  

The  amount  of the provision  is the difference between the  asset’s carrying  amount  and the present  value  of  estimated future cash flows, 
discounted at the original effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in profit or loss.  

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after 
the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed 
and the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.  

Subsequent recoveries of amounts written off are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities  are classified  at initial recognition,  as financial liabilities  at fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  payables, borrowings  or  as 
derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 
This category has two sub categories: financial liabilities held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. 
A  financial  liability  is  classified  in  this  category  if  acquired  principally  for  the  purpose  of  selling  in  the  short  term  or  if  so  designated  by 
management. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.  

The Group’s financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise contingent consideration and foreign exchange derivatives. 

Payables 
The Group’s payables comprise trade and other payables. 

Borrowings 
The Group’s borrowings comprise bank and non-bank borrowings and bonds.

The group leases various premises under non cancellable operating lease agreements. The lease terms are between 5 and 10 years, and the
majority of lease agreements are renewable at the end of the lease period at market rates.

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent unsecured liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are 
unpaid. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method. As trade and other payables as usually paid within 30 days, they are carried at face value. 

Contingent consideration 
Contingent  consideration,  resulting  from  business  combinations,  is  valued  at  fair  value  at  the  acquisition  date  as  part  of  the  business 
combination. When the contingent consideration meets the definition of a financial liability, it is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each 
reporting date. The key assumptions take into account are the probability of meeting each performance target and the discount factor.  

There are no options to purchase plant and equipment held under operating lease.

Capital Expenditure:
At reporting date the Group has no capital commitments (2018: nil). 

Loan Commitments:

The Group has no material undrawn credit commitments at reporting date (2018: nil).

Contingent Liabilities:

Borrowings  
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any 
difference between the proceeds (net  of transaction costs)  and the  redemption  value is  recognised in  profit  or loss  over  the period  of the 
borrowings using the effective interest method. 

Buy Right Cars
The vendor of the business has brought legal action against the Company disputing the quantum of the final earn out. A trial date has been set 
for 11 May 2020 with both parties seeking payment. The directors consider that on balance of probabilities no payment will be made to the 
vendor. 

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting 
The  Group  uses  derivative  financial  instruments  (forward  exchange  contracts  and  interest  rate  swaps)  to  hedge  its  risks  associated  with 
foreign  currency  and  interest  rate  fluctuations.  In  the  money  derivative  financial  instruments  are  financial  assets,  while  out  of  the  money 
derivative financial instruments are financial liabilities.  

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair 
value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if 
so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either; (1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets 
or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or (2) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges); or (c) hedges 
of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedge). 

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk 
management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge 
inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly 
effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. 

Cash flow hedge 
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other 
comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Amounts accumulated 
in equity are reclassified in profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for instance when the forecast sale that is 
hedged takes place). However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, 
inventory), the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial cost 
or carrying amount of the asset. 

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative 
gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit 
or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately 
transferred to profit or loss. 

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting 
Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting or hedge accounting has not been adopted in relation to them. Changes in 
the fair value of these derivative instruments are recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

The Group has no other material contingent liabilities at reporting date.

2018

Autosure
DPL Insurance Limited (DPL) and Vero Insurance New Zealand Limited (Vero) agreed to an expert determination to decide the appropriate level 
of insurance reserves to be transferred to DPL Insurance for the acquisition of the Autosure business. Both parties were seeking a payment. The 
directors consider that on balance of probabilities DPL was likely to receive a payment. Pending the outcome of the determination, DPL may have 
been required to make a payment to Vero. At time of issuing the 31 March 2018 financial statements, the timing and amount of any payment 
could not be reliably estimated. In December 2018, the expert decided in DPL's favour with settlement received in January 2019.

On 3 May 2018, the Group entered into a syndicated funding facility with the Bank of New Zealand and ASB Bank, refer note 25 of the Group 
annual report for the year ended 31 March 2018.

33. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE
In June 2019, all staff options were cancelled for no consideration, resulting in release of $1,027,000 from the share option reserve to retained
income.

34.  Insurance related disclosures 

A.  Actuarial policies and the methods 
The  actuarial report  on insurance contract  liabilities  and prudential reserves for the current reporting period  was prepared  as  at  31 March 
2019 by Peter Davies, a Fellow of the New Zealand Society of Actuaries.   

Life insurance contract liabilities 
The  value  of  life  insurance contract  liabilities has been  determined in  accordance  with  Professional  Standard No.  20  of the New Zealand 
Society of Actuaries.  After making appropriate checks, the actuary was satisfied as to the accuracy of the data from which the amount of 
policy liabilities has been determined. 

The key assumptions used in determining policy liabilities are as follows: 

a) Discount Rates 

Discount rates used to determine the life insurance contract liabilities are based on an appropriate risk-free rate of return, taking account of 
the term of the insurance contracts.   

Tax  was  deducted  at the  rate  of 28%  on investment  earnings net  of investment  expenses (2018: 28%).  The  net discount rates  assumed 
were as follows: 

Whole of Life and Endowment Policies (including Funeral Plan)* 
Quick Cover term life plan* 
Term Insurance Policies 
Caring Plan Funeral Benefit Policies 
Annuity Policies 
Consumer Credit and Key Person Loan Protection 

2019

* These rates  are provided  by Treasury  as  at 31 January,  and  are  then  adjusted to  31 March based  on the  movement  in swap rates,  as 
quoted by the Reserve Bank, between January and March. Illustrative forward rates for the respective valuations are as follows: 

Cash-flows in year 10: 

March 2018: 
March 2019: 

2.61% per annum net of tax 
1.83% per annum net of tax 

b) Inflation Rates 
In determining the future expected rate of return, general inflation was assumed to continue into the future at 2.0% per annum (2018: 2.0%).  

c) Mortality Rates 
Rates of mortality were assumed as follows: 

For underwritten whole of life, endowment and term insurance policies: NZ97 (2018: NZ97). 

For guaranteed issue regular premium funeral plans: NZ97 multiplied by a factor to reflect higher mortality at younger ages. 

For  annuities  and Reverse  Mortgages the Directors  assumed  mortality  according to 90%  of the NZ12-14 population tables (2018: PA(90) 
table, reduced by four years). For the Cook Islands Annuity Pension Plan the assumed mortality table is the PA(90) table without adjustment 
(2018: no change). 

d) Profit Carriers 
The policies were divided into major product groups with profit carriers as follows: 

Major Product Groups 
Participating Whole of Life and Endowment Policies 
Non Participating Whole of Life and Endowment Policies 
Lump Sum Funeral Benefit Policies (Caring Plan) 
Term Insurance Policies 
Funeral Plan Policies (Regular premium guaranteed issue) (2018: net claims + reinsurance) 
Quick Cover term life plan (2018: net claims and reinsurance) 
Annuities 
Consumer Credit / Lifestyle 
Motor business

e) Investment and Maintenance Expenses 
The maintenance  expense  and  general  growth  and  development  expense  allowances  assumed for the main classes  of  business  were  as 
follows: 

Endowments 
Funeral plans 
Term life plans (for loss recognition) 

$149 per policy per annum (2018: $149) 
$9 per policy per annum (2018: $37) 
$9 per policy per annum (2018: $74) 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2019

Consumer credit plans (for loss recognition): 
Annuity plans 
Investment management expenses were assumed to be 1.0% (2018: 1.0%) of policy liabilities. 

$9 per policy per annum (2018: $37) 
$149 per policy per annum (2018: $149) 

f) Inflation and Automatic Indexation of Benefits 
Maintenance  expenses  are  assumed  to  increase  2.0%  per  annum  (2018:  2.0%).    Investment  management  expenses  are  assumed  to 
remain a constant percentage of funds under management. 

g) Taxation 
The  assumed future tax rates reflect the corporate  tax rate  applying in New  Zealand  with  effect from 1 April 2011.  The calculations  have 
been carried out on the basis of current life insurance income tax legislation. 

h) Rates of Discontinuance 
Rates  of  discontinuance  are  assumed  to  be  5.0%  for  whole  of  life,  endowment  and  term  insurance  business  (2018:  5.0%),  and  nil  for 
annuity pension plan business (2018: nil). 
For  the  DPL  Funeral  plan  the  rates  of  discontinuance  are  based  on  company  experience,  beginning  at  15%  in  year  1  and  reducing 
ultimately to 8% per annum (2018: No change). 
For the Funeral plan (ex Greenwich) product the rates of discontinuance are based on the pricing assumption for this product, beginning at 
40% in year 1, and reducing ultimately to 6% per annum (2018:10% to 2%). 
For Quick Cover the rates of discontinuance are based on the pricing assumption for this product, beginning at 40% in year 1, and reducing 
ultimately to 10% per annum (2018: 25% to 12%). 

i) Surrender Values 
The Company's current basis of calculating surrender values is assumed to continue in the future. 

j) Rates of Future Supportable Participating Benefits 
Rates  of  bonus  supported  by  the  participating  fund  are  simple  annual  bonuses  of  $2.00  (2018:  $2.00)  per  $1,000  of  sum  assured  on 
endowment policies. 

k) Impact of changes in assumptions 

The impact of the change in the discount rate is an increase in policy liabilities of $207,000 (2018: $121,000). 

The policy liabilities are not affected by the revised expense assumptions (2018: $11,000). 

l) Crediting Policy Adopted for Future Supportable Participating Benefits 
For participating business the Company's policy  is to distribute  profits arising such that  over long periods the returns to  policy  holders  are 
commensurate with the investment returns achieved on relevant assets, together with other sources of profit arising from this business.  In 
applying  the  policyholders'  share  of  distributions  to  provide  bonuses,  consideration  is  given  to  achieving  equity  between  generations  of 
policyholders  and  equity  between the  various classes  and sizes  of  policies  in force.   Assumed future bonus rates  included in  policyholder 
liabilities  were  set  such  that  the  present  value  of  policyholder  liabilities,  allowing  for  the  shareholders'  right  to  participate  in  distributions, 
equals the value of assets supporting the business.  The supportable future bonus rate on this basis is zero. 

Non-life insurance liabilities 
The  non-life  insurance  liabilities  have  been  valued  on  the  basis  of  their  unearned  premium.  The  unearned  premium  (net  of  deferred 
acquisition cost)  has  been compared to the  expected cost  of future claims  and  administration costs to  ensure non-life  insurance liabilities 
are sufficient to cover these costs. 

B.  Financial strength rating 
The  Insurance  (Prudential  Supervision)  Act  2010  requires  all  licensed  insurers  to  have  a  current  Financial  Strength  Rating,  given  by  an 
approved  rating  entity.  DPL  Insurance  Limited  has  been  issued  a  Financial  Strength  Rating  of  B+  (Good)  and  an  Issuer  Credit  Rating  of 
bbb- (Good), with the outlook assigned to both ratings as 'Stable' by A.M. Best. The rating was issued by A.M. Best on 29 June 2018. 

The A.M Best company rating scale is 

A++, A+ Superior 
A, A- Excellent 
B++, B+ Good 

Issuer credit rating: 

Investment grade 
aaa (Exceptional) 
aa (Superior) 
a (Excellent) 
bbb (Good) 

B, B- Fair

The disclosure of the components of operating profit after tax expense are required to be separated between policyholders’ and shareholders’
interests.  We have included only one column, as policyholder profits arise only in respect of a small number of participating policies, and the
profits arising on these policies over the year were effectively zero.  Accordingly all of the profits earned over the year are shareholder profits.

It is not currently possible to identify all experience variances separately for life investment contracts. The difference between actual and
assumed experience for life insurance contracts therefore includes some variances relating to life investment contracts.

The benefits offered under the Group's unit-linked investment contracts are based on the returns of selected equities and debt securities. This
investment mix is unique, and it cannot be associated to an individual benchmark index with a sufficiently high correlation. All financial liabilities at
fair value through profit and loss are designated by the Group to be in this measurement category. The liabilities originated from unit-linked
contracts are measured with reference to their respective underlying assets of these contracts. Changes in the credit risk of the underlying assets
do not impact the measurement of the unit-linked liabilities. The maturity value of these financial liabilities is determined by the fair value of the
linked assets, at maturity date.

Policyholder liabilities comprise

Annuities
Endowment
Whole of life, provision for bonus and future margins
Consumer Credit Protection & key person loan protection 
Accidental death/redundancy

The  above  information  is  disclosed  prior  to  the  elimination  of  any  related  party  transactions  or  balances  as  the  insurance  contract 
disclosures relate to DPL Insurance Limited. 

J.  Managed Funds and other Fiduciary Activities 
DPL  Insurance  Limited  acted  as  a  promoter  for  a  number  of  superannuation  funds  with  assets  managed  by  a  third  party  investment 
manager. The assets and liabilities of these funds are not included in the financial statements. Arrangements exist to ensure the activities of 
the superannuation funds are managed independently from the other activities of the company. 

Insurance Risk 

K. 
The insurance business of the Group involves a number of financial and non-financial risks.  The financial risks are covered in note 5. Key 
objectives in managing insurance risk are: 
(i)  To ensure sound business practices are in place for underwriting risks and claims management; 
(ii)  To achieve a target return on capital that is invested in order to take on insurance risk; and 
(iii)  To ensure solvency and capital requirements are met. 

Life insurance 
The life insurance business of the Group involves a number of non-financial risks concerned with the pricing, acceptance and management 
of the mortality, and longevity risks accepted from policyholders. These risks are controlled through the use of underwriting procedures and 
adequate  premium  rates  and  policy  charges,  all  of  which  are  approved  by  the  Actuary.  Tight  controls  are  also  maintained  over  claims 
management practices to ensure the correct and timely payment of insurance claims. 

Terms and conditions of life insurance contracts 
The nature  of the terms  of the  insurance contracts  written  by the Group is such that certain  external  variables can be identified  on  which 
related cash flows for claim payments depend. The tables below provide an overview of the key variables upon which the amount of related 
cash flows are dependent.

The guaranteed amount is a multiple

Non-life insurance 
The risk management activities include prudent underwriting, pricing, and management of risk, together with claims management, reserving 
and investment management. The objective of these disciplines is to enhance the financial performance of the insurance operations and to 
ensure sound business practices are in place for underwriting risks and claims management. 

Claims 
Variations in claim levels  will  affect reported  profit  and  equity. The impact may  be  magnified if the  variation  leads to  a change  in  actuarial 
assumptions  which  cannot  be  absorbed  within  the  present  value  of  planned  margins  for  a  group  of  related  products.  Insurance  risk  may 
arise  through  the reassessment  of the  incidence  of claims, the trend  of future claims  and the  effect  of unforeseen  diseases  or  epidemics. 
Insurance risk is controlled by ensuring underwriting standards adequately identify potential risk, retaining the right to amend premiums on 
risk policies where appropriate. The experience of the Group's life insurance business is reviewed regularly. 

Concentration of insurance risk 
The Group does not believe it has any major geographic concentration of insurance risk.  The Group's policies aim to reduce concentration 
risk by maintaining a portfolio of policyholders with a broad spread of insurance risk types, ages, sexes, occupation classes and geographic 
locations. The group uses reinsurance to limit the insurance risk exposure for any one individual. 

Sensitivity Analysis 
The liabilities included in the reported results are calculated using certain assumptions about key variables as disclosed above. Sensitivity 
analysis is conducted to assess the impact of actual experience being different to that assumed in the calculation of liabilities. Movements in 
any variable will impact the profit and net assets of the Group. The tables below describe how a change in actual experience relative to that 
expected will affect next financial year's expected shareholder profit. 

Variable 
Expense risk 

Interest rate risk 

Mortality rates 

Discontinuance 

Market Risk 

Impact of movement in underlying variable 
An increase in the level or inflationary growth of expenses over assumed levels will decrease profit and shareholders’ 
equity 
Depending  on  the  profile  of  the  investment  portfolio,  the  investment  income  of  the  Group  will  decrease  as  interest 
rates decrease. This  may  be  offset  to  an  extent by changes  in the  market  value  of fixed interest investments. The 
impact  on  profit  and  shareholder  equity  depends  on  the  relative  profiles  of  assets  and  liabilities,  to  the  extent  that 
these are not matched 
For  insurance  contracts  providing  death  benefits,  greater  mortality  rates  would  lead  to  higher  levels  of  claims, 
increasing associated claims cost and therefore reducing profit and shareholder equity 
The  impact  of  discontinuance  rate  assumption  depends  on  a  range  of  factors  including  the  type  of  contract,  the 
surrender value basis (where applicable) and the duration in force. For example, an increase in discontinuance rates 
at  earlier  durations  of  life  insurance  contracts  usually  has  a  negative  effect  on  profit  and  shareholder  equity. 
However,  due  to  the  interplay  between  the  factors,  there  is  not  always  an  adverse  outcome  from  an  increase  in 
discontinuance rates 
For benefits which are not contractually linked to the underlying assets, the Group is exposed to Market Risk 

The table below illustrates how changes in key assumptions would impact the reported profit and liabilities of the Group.

Turners Limited FY19 Governance Report 
TURNERS LIMITED FY19 GOVERNANCE REPORT

Turners’ Board of Directors has adopted a corporate governance framework which encourages the 
highest standards of ethical conduct and provide accountability and control systems commensurate 
with the risks involved.  

The Board considers that this framework and governance practices for the year ended 31 March 
2019 are generally in line with the NZX Corporate Governance Code released in 2017 (NZX Code), 
except as stated within this report. In this regard, there are several items which Turners is 
progressing to ensure compliance with the NZX Code. The information in this report is current as at 
28 June 2019 and has been approved by the Board of Turners. 

The Corporate Governance Code and key policies are available on the Turners Automotive Group 
Limited website: www.turnersautogroup.co.nz 

Turners is listed on the NZX’s Main Board and is subject to regulatory control and monitoring by both 
the NZX and the Financial Markets Authority (FMA).  

PRINCIPLE 1 – CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR 

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

The Board recognises that high ethical standards and behaviours are central to good corporate 
governance and it is committed to the observance of a written Code of Ethics for the Group. 

The Code of Ethics is the framework of standards by which the directors, employees, contractors for 
personal services and advisers to Turners Automotive Group Limited and its related companies are 
expected to conduct their professional lives and has been approved by the Board. It is intended to 
facilitate decisions that are consistent with Group values, business goals and legal and policy 
obligations, thereby enhancing performance outcomes.  

Employees are expected to report any breaches of the Code in line with the processes outlined in 
the Code of Ethics.  

The Code of Ethics was last reviewed by the Board in March 2018. The Board believes that all 
Directors conformed to the Code of Ethics during the 2019 financial year. 

A copy of the Code of Ethics is given to all new employees when they join the Group. Any changes to 
the Code of Ethics is communicated to staff through regular new letters. The Code of Ethics can also 
be found at https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html.  

Turners has a Securities Trading Code of Conduct to mitigate the risk of insider trading in Turners 
securities by employees and Directors. A copy of this document can also be found at 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html. This was last 
reviewed and updated in March 2018.  Additional trading restrictions apply to Restricted Persons 
including Directors and certain employees. Details of Directors’ share dealings are on page 94 of the 
2019 Full Year Financial Statements. 

TURNERS LIMITED FY19 GOVERNANCE REPORT cont.
PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE 

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

The Turners Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Company, overseeing the 
financial and operational controls of the business, putting in place appropriate risk management 
strategies and policies and enhancing its value for shareholders in accordance with good corporate 
governance principles.  

In addition to the Turners Corporate Governance Code, the Turners Board also operates under a 
written charter which sets out the structure of the Board, role and responsibilities of Directors; 
procedures for the nomination, resignation and removal of Directors; and identifies procedures to 
ensure that the Board meets regularly, conducts its meetings in an efficient and effective manner 
and that each Director is fully empowered to perform his or her duties as a Director of the Company 
and to fully participate in meetings of the Board.   

Day to day management of Turners is undertaken by the executive teams under the leadership of 
the Chief Executive Officer, through a set of delegated authorities which are reviewed annually.  

In discharging their duties, Directors have direct access to and may rely on information, financial 
data and professional or expert advice provided by Turners’ senior management and external 
advisers.  Directors have the right, with the approval of the Chairman or by resolution of the Board, 
to seek independent legal or financial advice at the expense of Turners for the proper performance 
of their duties.  

Board Composition and Appointment 

The number of elected Directors and the procedure for their retirement and re-election at Annual 
Shareholder Meetings is set out in the Constitution of the Company. 

Turners considers that the nomination process for new Director appointments is the responsibility of 
the whole Board and it does not have a separate Nomination Committee.  

The Board takes into consideration tenure, capability, diversity and skills when reviewing Board 
composition and new appointments.  

At each Annual Shareholder Meeting, one-third of the current Directors retire by rotation and are 
eligible for re-election. Any Directors appointed since the previous annual meeting must also retire 
and are eligible for election.  

When a director is newly appointed, Turners will enter into a written agreement with them setting 
out the terms of their employment. 

The Board supports the separation of the roles of Chairman and CEO. The Chair of Turners as at 28 
June 2019 is non-executive director, Grant Baker, who has a 7.02% shareholding in Turners and is 
therefore not considered independent under the Main Board Listing Rules.  

The Board currently comprises of seven Directors: a non-executive chairman, three independent 
Directors, three non-executive directors. They are all elected based on the value they bring to the 
Board and against set criteria detailed in Turners Corporate Governance Code. In order for a Director 
to be independent, the Board has determined that he or she must not be an executive of Turners 

98

99

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TURNERS LIMITED FY19 GOVERNANCE REPORT cont.

TURNERS LIMITED FY19 GOVERNANCE REPORT cont.

and must have no disqualifying relationships. The Board follows the guidelines of the NZX Listing 
Rules.  

Information on each director can be found at 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Board+of+Directors.html and on page 18 of the 
2019 Annual Report. Director’s interests are disclosed on pages 94 to 97 of the 2019 Financial 
Statements. 

The Company encourages all Directors to undertake appropriate training and education so that they 
may best perform their duties. This includes attending presentations on changes in governance, legal 
and regulatory frameworks; attending technical and professional development courses; and 
attending presentations from industry experts and key advisers. In addition, Directors receive 
updates on relevant industry and Company issues, and briefings from key executives.  

The Board regularly considers individual and collective performance, together with the skill sets, 
training and development and succession planning required to govern the business.   

Diversity 

Turners Automotive Group Limited is committed to a culture that actively supports diversity and 
inclusiveness and prevents or eliminates discrimination in any form.  We believe that diversity and 
inclusion of thought enables Turners to better respond to the ever changing environment we 
operate in and better serve the diverse customer and stakeholder base we are accountable to. 

Diversity in Turners includes (but is not limited to) the following: gender, race, ethnicity and cultural 
background, thinking, physical capability, age, sexual orientation, and religious or political belief. 

We in Turners believe diversity and inclusion of background, experiences, thoughts and ways of 
working lead to greater creative and innovative solutions which ultimately lead to a superior 
outcome for our stakeholders socially. 

The Turners Board adopted a revised Diversity and Inclusion Policy in September 2018, which can be 
found at https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html.  The Board 
requires management to provide regular reporting and monitoring on diversity within the Turners 
workforce. 

As at 31 March 2019, the gender balance of Turners Automotive Group Limited’s directors and 
Turners’ people was as follows:

PRINCIPLE 3 – COMMITTEES 

2 

2

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

The Board has constituted two standing Committees being the Audit and Risk Management 
Committee and the Lending and Credit Committee. Due to the size of the Company's Board, matters 
normally dealt with by the remuneration and the nominations committees are dealt with by the full 
Board. 

Committees allow issues requiring detailed consideration to be dealt with separately by members of 
the Board with specialist knowledge and experience, thereby enhancing the efficiency and 
effectiveness of the Board. However, the Board retains ultimate responsibility for the functions of its 
Committees and determines their responsibilities.  

The committees meet as required and have terms of reference (Charters), which are approved and 
reviewed by the Board. Copies of committee Charters (Audit and Risk Management Committee’s is 
included as an appendix in the Group’s Corporate Governance Code) can be found at 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html. 

Minutes of each committee meeting are forwarded to all members of the Board, who are all entitled 
to attend any committee meeting. Each committee is empowered to seek any information it

requires from employees in pursuing its duties and to obtain independent legal or other professional 
advice. 

The membership and performance of each Committee is reviewed annually.  

From time to time, special purpose committees may be formed to review and monitor specific 
projects with senior management.  

As the Board believes that matters of remuneration and nominations are the responsibility of the 
Full Board, Turners does not consider it necessary to comply with recommendations 3.3 and 3.4 of 
the NZX Code and accordingly does not have a separate remuneration committee or nomination 
committee. The Company will continue to monitor best practice in the governance area and update 
its policies to ensure it maintains the most appropriate standards.  

Audit and Risk Management Committee  

The role of the Audit and Risk Management Committee is to assist the Board in carrying out its 
responsibilities under the Companies Act 1993 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013 regarding 
accountancy practices, policies and controls relative to the Company’s financial position and make 
appropriate enquiry into the audits of the Company’s financial statements. This responsibility 
includes providing the Board with additional assurance about the quality and reliability of the 
financial information issued publicly by the Company. All matters required to be addressed and for 
which the committee has responsibility were addressed during the reporting period. 

A written charter outlines the Audit and Risk Management Committee’s delegated authority, duties, 
responsibilities and relationship with the Board. The Charter is included as an appendix in the 
Group’s Corporate Governance Code which is available on the Company’s website at 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html.  

The committee must be comprised solely of Directors of Turners, have a minimum of three 
members, have a majority of independent Directors and have at least one director with an 
accounting or financial background. The makeup of the current members of this committee complies 
with this recommendation. The Chair of the committee cannot be Chair of the Board. 

Members as at 31 March 2019 were John Roberts (Chair), Antony Vriens and Matthew Harrison. It 
met twice during the financial year.  

Management and employees may only attend meetings at the invitation of the committee and the 
committee routinely has committee-only time with the external and internal auditors without 
management present. 

Lending and Credit Committee 

The Lending and Credit Committee reviews the lending and credit policies of Finance companies. It is 
also responsible for the approval of lending policies, the approval/decline of loan applications in 
terms of approval authority and reviews the recovery of overdue loans and doubtful debt provisions 
in order to ensure that provisioning is satisfactory.  

The Lending and Credit Committee members as at 31 March 2019 were Matthew Harrison (Chair), 
Alistair Petrie and John Roberts. It met 4 times during the financial year. 

Takeovers 

Turners Automotive Group Limited is prepared in the event of a takeover. The Board has adopted a 
written Takeover Response Policy (contained within the Turners Automotive Group Corporate 
Governance Code) to follow in the event that a takeover notice or scheme of arrangement proposal 
is imminent. This policy would involve Turners forming an Independent Takeover committee to 
oversee disclosure and response, and engage expert legal and financial advisors to provide advice on 
procedure.  

PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE 

The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness 
and balance of corporate disclosures 

Turners Automotive Group Limited directors are committed to keeping investors and the market 
informed of all material information about the Company and its performance and ensures 
compliance with legislative and NZX listing rules.  

The release of material information is guided by the Reporting and Disclosure section on the Group’s 
Corporate Governance Code, and the Company’s Continuous Disclosure Policy, which are available 
to view at https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html.  

In addition to all information required by law, Turners also seeks to provide sufficient meaningful 
information to ensure stakeholders and investors are well informed, including financial and non-
financial information. 

Financial Information 

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the 
financial position of the Company and have been prepared using appropriate accounting policies, 
consistently applied and supported by reasonable judgements and estimates and for ensuring all 
relevant financial reporting and accounting standards have been followed.  

For the financial year ended 31 March 2019, the directors believe that proper accounting records 
have been kept which enable, with reasonable accuracy, the determination of the financial position 
of the Company and the Group and facilitate compliance of the financial statements with the 
Financial Reporting Act 1993. 

The Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer have confirmed in writing to the Board that Turners’ 
external financial reports present a true and fair view in all material aspects.  

Turners’ full and half year financial statements are available on the Company’s website at 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/Investor+Centre/Presentations+and+Results.html.  

Non-financial information 

The Board recognises the importance of non-financial disclosure. Given the Company’s size the 
Board has elected not to comply with recommendation 4.3 of the NZX Code and has not adopted a 
formal environmental, social and governance framework. The Group has an Environmental, Social 
and Governance Policy in section 14 of the Group’s Corporate Governance Code.

Turners’ discusses its strategic objectives and its progress against these in the Chair and CEO’s 
commentary in shareholder reports, and at other investor events during the year including investor 
presentations and the Annual Shareholders Meeting.  

Turners is committed to using its resources responsibly and will look for opportunities to reduce any 
negative environmental risk or impact from business operations, products and services. 

The Company is committed to providing fair and responsible products and services that includes 
adherence to the Responsible Lending Code, the Responsible Credit-Related Insurance Code, 
Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 and various other Acts. The Board will encourage 
diversity and will not knowingly participate in business situations where Turners’ could be complicit 
in human rights and labour standard abuses. 

Details of individual Directors’ remuneration are detailed on page 94 of the 2019 Annual Report.  

Executive Remuneration 

Executive remuneration consists of a fixed base salary, a variable short term bonus paid annually and 
a long term incentive, a Share Option Plan. Bonuses are paid against targets agreed with executives 
at the commencement of the year and are based on profitability, growth and personal objectives. 

Details of executives’ remuneration and entitlements are detailed under Key Management 
Compensation on page 75 and Remuneration of Employees information on page 95 of the 2019 
Financial Statements. 

Details of Group’s Share Option Plan are detailed in Note 27 of the 2019 Financial Statements. The 
options were cancelled for no consideration in June 2019. 

PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION 

CEO Remuneration  

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

The Board promotes the alignment of the interests of the directors, the CEO and management with 
the long term interests of shareholders. Remuneration policies and structure are reviewed regularly 
to ensure remuneration of management and directors is fair and reasonable in a competitive market 
for the skills, knowledge and experience required by the Company.  

The Board recognises that it is desirable that executive (including executive director) remuneration 
should include an element dependent upon the performance of both the Group and the individual, 
and should be clearly differentiated from non-executive director remuneration.  

Details of directors and executives’ remuneration and entitlements for the 2019 financial year are 
detailed on pages 75 and 94 of the Annual Report. The Remuneration Policy is included in section 10 
of Group’s Corporate Governance Code, which can be found at 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.htm.  

Turners does not have a Remuneration Committee and matters pertaining to remuneration are dealt 
with by the full Board. 

Director Remuneration 

The total remuneration pool available for Directors is fixed by shareholders. The Board determines 
the level of remuneration paid to Directors from the approved collective pool. Directors also receive 
reimbursement for reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred in the course 
of performing their duties.  

The annual fee pool limit is $665,000 and was approved by shareholders at the annual meeting in 
September 2018.  

Any proposed increases in non-executive Director fees and remuneration will be put to shareholders 
for approval. If independent advice is sought by the Board, it will be disclosed to shareholders as 
part of the approval process.

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT 

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

Turners Automotive Group Limited is committed to proactively managing risk. While this is the 
responsibility of the entire Board, the Audit and Risk Management Committee assists the Board and 
provides additional oversight in regards to the risk management framework and monitoring 
compliance with that framework. The Board’s approach to risk management is incorporated into the

TURNERS LIMITED FY19 GOVERNANCE REPORT cont.

Audit and Risk Committee Charter, which can be found at 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html 

The Board delegates day to date management of the risk to the Chief Executive. The executive team 
and senior management are required to regularly identify the major risks affecting the business and 
develop structures, practices and processes to manage and monitor these risks.  

The Board is satisfied that Turners has in place a risk management process to effectively identify, 
manage and monitor Turners’ principal risks. 

Turners maintains insurance policies that it considers adequate to meet its insurable risks. 

Key financial and non-financial risks are included in note 5 of the financial statements. 

Health and Safety 

The Turners’ Board recognises that effective management of health and safety is essential for the 
operation of a successful business, and its intent is to prevent harm and promote wellbeing for 
employees, contractors and customers.  The Board is responsible for ensuring that the systems used 
to identify and manage health and safety risks are fit for purpose, being effectively implemented, 
regularly reviewed and continuously improved.  

Turners has a Health and Safety Policy which is monitored by a Group Health and Safety committee 
assisted by Health and Safety co-ordinators in each business unit.  Health and Safety reports, 
including incident reports, for all business units are included in the compliance section of the board 
papers.  

PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS 

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

The Board’s approach to the appointment and oversight of the external auditor are outlined in 
Turners’ External Audit Policy (section 9 of the Turners Automotive Group Limited Corporate 
Governance Code, which can be accessed at 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html) and ensures that 
audit independence is maintained, both in fact and appearance, such that Turners Automotive 
Group Limited’s external financial reporting is viewed as being highly reliable and credible.  

The Audit and Risk Management Committee provides additional oversight of the external auditor, 
reviews the quality and cost of the audit undertaken by the Company’s external auditors and 
provides a formal channel of communication between the Board, senior management and external 
auditors. The Committee also assesses the auditor’s independence on an annual basis. Procedures 
are detailed in the Audit and Risk Committee Charter. 

For the financial year ended 31 March 2019, Staples Rodway was the external auditor for Turners 
Automotive Group Limited. Staples Rodway were first appointed as external auditor in 1999 and 
were automatically re-appointed under the Companies Act 1993 at the 2017 Turners Automotive 
Group Limited annual meeting. The last audit partner rotation was in 2016. 

All audit work at Turners is fully separated from non-audit services, to ensure that appropriate 
independence is maintained. The amount of fees paid to Staples Rodway for audit and other services 
is identified on page 56 of the 2019 Annual Report. 

Staples Rodway has provided the Turners’ Board with written confirmation that, in their view, they 
were able to operate independently during the year. 

Staples Rodway attends the annual meeting, and the lead audit partner is available to answer 
questions from shareholders at that meeting. Staples Rodway attended the 2018 annual meeting. 

Turners has a number of internal controls overseen by Audit and Risk Management Committee, 
including controls for computerised information system, security, business continuity management, 
insurance, health and safety, conflicts of interest, and prevention and identification of fraud. The 
Group does not have a dedicated Group Internal Auditor role.  

PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS 

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

The Board is committed to open dialogue and to facilitating engagement with shareholders.  

Turners has a calendar of communications and events for shareholders, including but not limited to: 

•  Annual and Interim Reports 
•  Market announcements  
•  Annual Shareholder Meeting 
•  Financial results calls 
•  Other ad hoc investor presentations 
•  Easy access to information through the Turners website www.turnersautogroup.co.nz  
•  Access to management and the Board via email info@turnersautogroup.co.nz  

The Company maintains a comprehensive website which provides access to key corporate 
governance documents, copies of all major announcements, Company reports and presentations.  

Shareholders are encouraged to attend the annual meeting and may raise matters for discussion at 
this event. In accordance with NZX Code, the Board ensured that the notice of the annual meeting 
was posted to Turners’ website as soon as possible and at least 28 days prior to the meeting.  

Shareholders have the ultimate control in corporate governance by voting Directors on or off the 
Board. Voting is by poll, upholding the ‘one share, one vote’ philosophy.   

In accordance with the Companies Act 1993, Turners’ Constitution and the NZX Main Board Listing 
Rules, Turners refers major decisions which may change the nature of Turners’ to shareholders for 
approval. 

All shareholders are given the option to elect to receive electronic communications from the 
Company.  

In addition to shareholders, Turners has a wide range of stakeholders and maintains open channels 
of communication for all audiences, including shareholders, brokers and the investing community, as 
well as our staff, suppliers and customers.
