DIRECTORS' REPORT 

14)  REMUNERATION REPORT 
This Remuneration Report covers the following Key Management Personnel: 

Directors 
(Simon) Xing Yan  
Eric Kong 
(James) Zixi Ban 

Other  than  the  directors,  the  Company  does  not  currently  have  any  other  employees.  Executive  directors  and  any 
personnel in the senior management position are collectively referred to as executives in this Report. 

Remuneration Policy 
The  remuneration  policy  of  the  Company  has  been  designed  to  align  directors’  and  executives’  objectives  with 
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual 
basis in line with market rates and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the 
Company’s financial results. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to 
attract and retain the best directors and executives to run and manage the Company. The board’s policy for determining 
the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and executives of the Company is as follows: 

Executive Remuneration Policy 
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives (or 
collectively “executives”), was developed by the board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors 
such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The board reviews executive packages annually by 
reference to the Company’s performance, executive’s performance and comparable information from industry sectors 
and other listed companies in similar industries. 

The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is to attract the 
highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder’s wealth. 

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. The executive directors 
receive  a  superannuation  guarantee  contribution  required  by  the  government,  which  is  currently  9.5%  and  do  not 
receive any other retirement benefits. 

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to 
directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid 
by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes method. 

Non-Executive Remuneration Policy 
The  board’s  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable  companies  for  time, 
commitment  and  responsibilities.  The  board  determines  payments  to  the  non-executive  directors  and  reviews  their 
remuneration annually,  based  on  market  practice,  duties  and  accountability.  Independent  external  advice  is sought 
when  required.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  of  fees  that  can  be  paid  to  non-executive  directors  is  subject  to 
approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, (currently $250,000). Fees for non-executive directors are 
not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ and executives’ interests with shareholder 
interests,  non-executive  directors  are  encouraged to  hold shares in  the  company  and  are  able  to  participate in  the 
employee option plan. 

Performance based remuneration 
The Company has no performance based remuneration component built into executive remuneration packages. Non-
executive directors’ remuneration are not performance based. 

Company performance, shareholder’s wealth and director’s and executive’s remuneration 
The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  goal  congruence  between  shareholders  and  directors  and 
executives.  Currently,  this  is  facilitated  through  the  issue  of  options  to  the  majority  of  directors  and  executives  to 
encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes the policy will be effective in 
increasing shareholder’s wealth. For details of directors’ interests in options at year end, refer the Directors’ Report.

Ultima United Limited - Annual Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 1:  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  that  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  including  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial 
reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. 

The financial report covers the Company of Ultima United Limited and has been prepared in Australian dollars. Ultima 
United Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial 
report  containing  relevant  and  reliable  information  about  transactions,  events  and  conditions  to  which  they  apply. 
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards.   

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the entity in the preparation of the financial 
report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. 

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation 
of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has 
been applied. 

(a) Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions 
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of 
future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: 

Share based payment transactions 
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the 
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using 
Black-Scholes option pricing model. 

Impairment 
The Company assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific 
to the Company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed 
using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. 

Environmental Issues  
Balances  disclosed  in  the  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  are  not  adjusted  for  any  pending  or  enacted 
environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company’s development 
and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. 

Taxation  
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation,  and are based on the best 
estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company 
as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been 
made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, 
pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office. 

(b) Revenue 
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the 
revenue  can  be  reliably  measured.  The  following  specific  recognition  criteria  must  also  be  met  before  revenue  is 
recognised: 

Interest 
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues.   

(c) Earnings Per Share 
The  Company  presents  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  (“EPS”)  data  for  its  ordinary  shares.  Basic  EPS  is 
calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to members for the reporting period, after excluding any costs 
of servicing equity, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus issue. 
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares outstanding.

For the year ended 30 June 2018 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(d) Impairment of Assets 
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where 
an  indication  of  impairment  exists,  the  Company  makes  a  formal  estimate  of  recoverable  amount.  Where  carrying 
amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount  the  asset  is  considered  impaired  and  is  written  down  to  its 
recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual 
asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not 
generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company assets, in which case, the 
recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 

(e) Income Tax 
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences: 

•  except  where  the  deferred  income  tax  liability  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a 
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither that accounting 
profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss; and 

• 

in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests 
in  joint  ventures,  except  where  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the  temporary  differences  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets 
and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible 
temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised: 

•  except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial 
recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business  combination  and,  at  the  time  of  the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss; and 

• 

in respect of deductible temporary differences with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint 
ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences 
will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences 
can be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent 
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax 
asset to be utilised. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when 
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted at the balance sheet date. 

(f)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred 
is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”).  In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the 
cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.  Receivables and payables in the Statement of 
Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. 

The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  is  included  as  a  current  asset  or  liability  in  the 
Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising 
from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating 
cash flows.

For the year ended 30 June 2018 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(g) Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  banks,  other  short-term  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within 
short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position. 

(h) Trade and Other Receivables 
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less 
an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence 
that the Company will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. 

Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. Interest is taken up as income 
on an accrual basis. 

(i)  Inventories 
Inventories and work in progress are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.  

Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development costs, holding costs and directly attributable interest on borrowed 
funds where the development is a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is ceased during extended periods 
in which active development is interrupted. When a development is completed and ceases to be a qualifying asset, 
borrowing costs and other costs are expensed as incurred.  

Current and Non-current Inventory Assets  

Inventory is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:  

•  it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the entity’s normal operating cycle;  
•  it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; or  
•  it is expected to be realised within twelve months of the reporting date.  

All other inventory is treated as non-current. 

(j)  Interest in Joint Venture (Equity Accounted Investee) 
These  are  investments  where  the  Company  has  joint  control,  established  by  contractual  agreement  and  requiring 
unanimous consent for strategic and operating decisions. Such investments are accounted for using the equity method 
(Equity Accounted Investees) and are initially recognised at cost under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements. The financial 
statements include  the  Company’s share of  the  income and  expenses and equity  movements  of  Equity  Accounted 
Investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that the joint 
control commences until the date joint control ceases. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an 
Equity Accounted Investee, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is 
discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the Equity 
Accounted Investee. Such investments are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and the recoverable 
amount. Investments in joint ventures are treated as current assets where it is expected that the investment will be 
realised within a twelve month time frame. 

(k) Property held for development and resale 
Property held for development and resale comprises land held for development, contract costs and other holding costs 
incurred to date. 

Costs include the cost of acquisition, development, interest on funds borrowed for the development and holding costs 
until  completion  of  the  development.  Interest  and  holding  charges  incurred  after  development  is  completed  are 
expensed. Profit is recognised on an individual contract basis generally at settlement. 

(l)  Plant and Equipment 
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually 
by  directors  to ensure it  is  not  in excess  of  the  recoverable  amount  from  these assets.  The  recoverable  amount is 
assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent 
disposal.  The  expected  net  cash  flows  have  been  discounted  to  their  present  values  in  determining  recoverable 
amounts. 

Depreciation 
The depreciable amount of plant and equipment is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over the asset’s useful life 
to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

Ultima United Limited - Annual Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 
Plant and equipment 
Furniture and Fittings 
Software 

Depreciation Rate 
33.00% 
11.25% 
33.00% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An 
asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the 
carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income.  When  revalued  assets  are  sold,  amounts  included  in  the  revaluation  reserve  relating  to  that  asset  are 
transferred to retained earnings. 

(m)  Trade and Other Payables 
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of consideration to be paid in 
the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company. 

Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as 
an expense on an accrual basis. 

(n) Issued Capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the 
share proceeds received. 

(o)  Financial Instruments 
Recognition and initial measurement 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions 
to  the  instrument.  For  financial  assets,  this  is  equivalent  to  the  date  that  the  company  commits  itself  to  either  the 
purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified 
‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, or cost.  Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between 
knowledgeable, willing parties.  Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value.  
In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

Amortised cost is calculated as: 
(a) 
(b) 
(c) 

the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; 
less principal repayments; 
plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised 
and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and 
less any reduction for impairment. 

(d) 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is 
equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction 
costs  and  other  premiums  or  discounts)  through  the  expected  life  (or  when  this  cannot  be  reliably  predicted,  the 
contractual  term)  of  the  financial  instrument  to  the  net  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  asset  or  financial  liability. 
Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential 
recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. 

The Company does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to 
the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.   

(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the 
purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as 
such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is 
managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management 
or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being 
included in profit or loss.

For the year ended 30 June 2018 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(ii)  Held-to-maturity investments 

Held-to-maturity  investments  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  have  fixed  maturities  and  fixed  or 
determinable  payments,  and  it  is  the  Company’s  intention  to  hold  these  investments  to  maturity.    They  are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature 
within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets.) 

If during the period the Company sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity 
investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified 
as available-for-sale. 

(iii)  Available-for-sale financial assets 

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified 
into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They 
comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable 
payments. 

Available-for-sale  financial  assets  are  included  in  non-current  assets,  except  for  those  which  are  expected  to 
mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current 
assets). 

(iv)  Financial liabilities 

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Fair value 
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to 
determine  the  fair  value  for  all  unlisted  securities,  including  recent  arm’s  length  transactions,  reference  to  similar 
instruments and option pricing models. 

Impairment 
At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Company  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial 
instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value 
of the instrument is considered to determine whether a impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

De-recognition 
Financial  assets  are  de-recognised  where  the  contractual  rights  to  receipt  of  cash  flows  expires  or  the  asset  is 
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and 
benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are discharged, 
cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to 
another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, 
is recognised in profit or loss. 

Impairment of Assets 
At each the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be 
impaired.  The  assessment  will  include  the  consideration  of  external  and  internal  sources  of  information  including 
dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. 
If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the 
asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any 
excess  of  the  asset’s  carrying  value  over  its  recoverable  amount  is  expensed  to  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income. 

Where  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  Company  estimates  the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. 

(p) Comparatives 
When  required  by  Accounting  Standards,  comparative  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  conform  to  changes  in 
presentation for the current financial year. 

(q) Employee Benefits 
Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits  arising from services rendered by employees to 
balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within 1 year have been measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than 1 year have been measured at 
the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cashflows are discounted 
using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.

(r) Borrowing Costs 
Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of  assets  that  necessarily  take  a 
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time 
as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. 

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(b) 
the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and 
(c)  no changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the Company in utilising the benefits. 

Note 1 - the corporate tax rate for eligible companies will reduce from 30% to 25% by 30 June 2027 providing certain

As previously announced by the Company, the building at 3 Oak Street Canningon officially reached lock-up stage on 
20 June 2018.  In connection with securing development funding by Westpac during the financial year, the property 
was subject to an independent sworn valuation by Opteon Property Group that placed a market value of $4.5 million 
on a “as if complete” basis.   The property also serves as security against the Westpac borrowings as detailed in Note 
14. 

NOTE 8:  INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURE 
On 29 November 2013, the Company received shareholder approval to enter into a Joint Venture and Profit Sharing 
Agreement between S & A Holding (Aust) Pty Ltd (“S & A Holding”) and the Company to develop the property at 295 
Canning Highway, Como (“Como Property”). Mr Simon Yan, the managing director of the Company, is a director and 
shareholder of S & A Holding.  

Under the terms of the agreement, S & A Holding and the Company formed an unincorporated joint venture for the 
purpose of sharing profits from the completion of the Como Property development.  

Following the sale of the last townhouse unit during the previous financial year, this Joint Venture has been terminated.

(b)  Terms of Ordinary Shares 
Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number 
of shares held and in proportion to the amount paid up on the shares held. 

At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote in proportion to the paid up amount of the share 
when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. 

(c)  Capital risk management  
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it 
may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

The Company’s debt and capital include ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.  
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.  Management effectively manages the 
Company’s capital by assessing the Company’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes 
in these risks and in the market.  These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders 
and share issues. 

The gearing ratios for the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 are tabled below.  The gearing ratio of 52% as 
at 30 June 2018 can be attributed to the bank funding for the ongoing construction works at 3 Oak Street Cannington.  
This is expected to improve once this development is complete and the apartments are sold down to repay debt and 
generate working capital.

NOTE 20:  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
(i)  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES  
The  Company’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  cash  and  short-term  deposits.  The  main  purpose  of  the 
financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Company. The Company also has 
other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations.  For the year 
under review, it has been the Company’s policy not to trade in financial instruments. 

The directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Company in meeting its financial targets, whilst 
minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. 

Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board of Directors on a regular basis. These include the 
credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. 

Financial Risk Exposures and Management 
The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk and credit risk. The board reviews 
and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below: 

(a)  Foreign Currency Risk 

The Company is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. 

(b) 

Interest Rate Risk 
The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits and bank borrowings. 
The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between 
the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. 

(c)  Credit Risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss 
to the Company. The Company has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and 
obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial 
loss from defaults. 

The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of 
counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial 
statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. 

(d)  Liquidity Risk 

The  Company  manages  liquidity  risk  by  monitoring  forecast  cash  flows.  The  Company  does  not  have  any 
significant liquidity risk as the Company does not currently have any collateral debts. 

(e)  Market Risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity 
prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of 
market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while 
optimising the return.

(iii)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to 
their carrying amounts as presented in the statement of financial position.  Differences between fair values and carrying 
values of financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to the change in discount rates being applied by the 
market since the initial recognition by the Company.  Most of these instruments, which are carried at amortised cost 
(i.e. loan liabilities), are to be held until maturity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date, adjusted for transaction costs 
expected to be incurred. For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the net fair value has 
been based on a reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment.

(iv)  PRICE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS 
Management believes the estimated fair values resulting from the valuation of listed investments and recorded in the 
statement  of  financial  position  and  the  related  changes  in  fair  values  recorded  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income are reasonable and the most appropriate at Statement of Financial Position date. At 30 June 2018, the effect 
on loss as a result of changes in the share price of listed investment, with all other variables remaining constant would 
be as follows: 

CHANGE IN PROFIT/(LOSS) 

Increase in fair value of investment by 10% 

Decrease in fair value of investment by 10%

Included within Level 1 of the hierarchy are listed investments. The fair values of these financial assets have been 
based on the closing quoted bid prices at reporting date, excluding transaction costs. 

In  valuing  unlisted  investments,  included  in  Level  2  of  the  hierarchy,  valuation  techniques  such  as  those  using 
comparisons to similar investments for which market observable prices are available have been adopted to determine 
the fair values of these investments. 

Derivative instruments are included in Level 3 of the hierarchy with the fair values being determined using valuation 
techniques incorporating observable market data relevant to the hedged position.

Act 2001, including: 

giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial 

performance for the year then ended; and  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.    Our  responsibilities  under

our opinion. 

Independence 

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards 
Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit

Key Audit Matters (continued) 

Carrying value assessment for Inventories (Works in Progress) & Undeveloped Property Asset 
Refer to Notes 7 and 9 - carrying values of $3.03 million and $1.17 million respectively 
Assessing  the  carrying  amount  of  the  Company’s 
inventory/property  assets  including  the  ongoing 
development at 3 Oak Street,  Cannington  which is 
nearing completion and undeveloped land at 19-21 
Tate  Street,  Bentley,  Western  Australia  was  a  key 
audit matter.  Factors giving rise to this conclusion 
included  the  size  of  these  balances  and  the 
judgment required in the assessment, particularly in 
relation to: 
•  whether there are any indicators of impairment 
relating  to  the  ongoing  construction  at  3  Oak 
Street, Cannington.  This property was valued at 
$4.5  million  (excl.  GST)  on  a  “as  if  complete” 
basis by  an  independent  professional  expert  in 
securing bank financing for the property; 

We performed procedures over the assessment of 
the  carrying  values  of  these  assets  which  included 
the following: 
•  Discussed  the  construction  progress  of  3  Oak 
Street  Cannington  with  management  and 
ensuring  that  all  capitalised  costs  were 
in 
accordance  with  AASB  116  Property,  Plant  & 
Equipment and AASB 123 Borrowing Costs; 

independent  professional 
the  external  expert’s 
valuation, 
competence, 
and  objectivity. 
Assessing the methodologies used by the expert 
and  appropriateness  of  the  key  assumptions 
based  on  our  knowledge  of  the  property 
industry; 

•  Physical inspection of the 3 Oak Street property 

around early July 2018; 

•  Evaluation  of  the 

capabilities 

including 

•  Evaluation  of  the 

independent  appraiser’s 

competence, capabilities and objectivity; 

•  Assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the  carrying 
values  of  both  Oak  Street  (as  if  complete)  and 
Tate  Street  properties  by  comparing  against 
indicative market values of similar properties (by 
location  and  size)  being  advertised  for  sale  on 
www.realestate.com.au;    

•  Evaluation  of  the  Perth  apartment  property 
market for any further indicators of impairment 
based  on  available  market  data/commentary 
and 
from  the  public 
domain/industry publications; 

information  sourced 

•  Reviewed  the relevant disclosures contained  in 

the financial statements 

•  whether there are any indicators of impairment 
relating to the Tate Street property. This vacant 
block  was  purchased  several  years  ago  and 
development  application  for  multiple  dwellings 
(apartments) on the lot was granted by the town 
council.  However,  development  has  been 
deferred pending completion & sale of the Oak 
Street  units.    This  property  was  subject  to  an 
independent market appraisal during the year; 
•  the current downturn within the Perth property 
market  which  directly  influences  the  funding 
appetite of potential lenders and/or investors.

Key Audit Matters (continued) 

Presentation of Borrowings and compliance with banking covenants 
Refer to Note 14 – Borrowings 
At 30 June 2018, the Company had significant bank 
borrowings of $2.61 million. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

These  borrowings  relate  to  the  financing  of  the 
ongoing  construction  works  at  3  Oak  Street, 
Cannington  as  well  as  the  initial  acquisition  of  the 
Tate  Street,  Bentley  property.    Implicit  in  the  Oak 
Street loan facility is the requirement to comply with 
various  banking  covenants  which  are  detailed  in 
Note 14. 

These  borrowings  were  identified  as  key  audit 
matters  due  to  their  material  balances  and

our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company 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  Company  or  to  cease 
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 
our  opinion.    Reasonable  assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a  guarantee  that  an  audit 
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or 
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of this financial report. 

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise  professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.  We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, international omissions, misrepresentation, 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 Company’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  If 
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required  to draw attention  in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify 
our opinion.  Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report.  However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going 
concern. 

39 

 
 
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report (continued) 

• 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and 
whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair 
presentation. 

•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the  entities  or  business 
activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial report.  We are responsible for the direction, 
supervision and performance of the Company 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. 

From  the  matters  communicated  with  the  directors,  we  determine  those  matters  that  were  of  most 
significance  in  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  of  the  current  period  and  are  therefore  the  key  audit 
matters.    We  describe  these  matters  in  our  auditor’s  report  unless  law  or  regulation  precludes  public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should 
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be 
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

(a) The  Company  process  for  risk  management  and 
internal  compliance  includes  a  requirement  to 
identify and measure risk, monitor the environment 
for  emerging  factors  and  trends  that  affect  these 
risks,  formulate  risk  management  strategies  and

The Audit and Risk Committee Charter provides for 
the  internal  audit  function  of  the  Company.  The 
Charter  outlines 
review  and 
assessment of a range of internal audit functions and 
procedures.  
Given  the  size  of  the  Company,  no  internal  audit 
function  is  currently  considered  necessary.  The 
Company’s Management periodically undertakes an 
internal  review  of  financial  systems  and  processes 
and  where  systems  are  considered  to  require 
improvement  these  systems  are  developed.  The 
Board  also  considers  external  reviews  of  specific 
areas  and  monitors  the  implementation  of  system 
improvements. 

The  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  Charter  details  the 
Company’s  risk  management  systems  which  assist 
in  identifying  and  managing  potential  or  apparent 
business,  economic,  environmental  and  social 
sustainability  risks  (if  appropriate).  Review  of  the

responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee 
are currently carried out  by  the  board,  with  the 
aid of an independent advisor, if required, which 
includes  evaluating  the  performance  of  senior 
executives.
