CHAIRMAN’S 
ADDRESS 

It is a pleasure to present my fi rst report following 
my appointment as Independent Chairman of 
Villa World in May 2014. The separation of the 
Executive Chairman and Managing Director 
roles highlights the Board’s commitment to 
implementing a higher level of corporate 
governance for Villa World. This includes an 
intention to appoint another non-executive 
Board member during 1H15.  

Despite mixed economic conditions throughout 
FY14, Villa World has maintained its momentum for 
achieving success through property.

I am pleased to report a statutory after tax profi t of 
$19.1m for the year.  This result, together with Villa 
World’s strong operating cash fl ow, has enabled the 
Board to declare dividends of 15 cents per share 
for the year, in line with the Board’s dividend policy 
of paying out 50% to 75% of net profi t after tax.  
Continued shareholder support has further been 
rewarded with a signifi cant increase in our share 
price over the year.

The balance sheet is in a strong position with a net 
asset value of $1.92 per share. The Company has a 
low gearing ratio of 18.7% with cash and headroom 
on its debt facility of $87 million. The Company 
completed a $32.2 million capital raising during the 
year which has been applied towards working capital 
and funding acquisitions.  

An amount of $89.5 million was paid out for new 
acquisitions during the year.  The Company’s 
development pipeline has increased to 3,925 lots 
in proven regions as well as new geographies, 
representing 4.7 years supply of sales.  Our robust 
balance sheet together with strong project cash 
fl ows, will enable Villa World to continue building the 
project pipeline in FY15 and beyond with particular 
focus on the south east Queensland and Melbourne 
markets and to a lesser extent New South Wales.

Looking forward we are determined to leverage our 
key market advantages - location, price, product 
design, and delivery capability - to capitalise on 
opportunities in the Australian residential property 
market. The Board will maintain Villa World’s 
strategy of low risk development of land and housing 
in the affordable to mid-market range. 

We will continue to locate the majority of Villa 
World’s developments in growth locations that are 
close to employment and amenities. This reduces 
development risk and helps to maintain buyer 
demand in more diffi cult market conditions.

A competitively priced core product is at the heart 
of our portfolio – allowing us to capitalise on the 
market’s focus on value for money.  Last year we 
actively marketed this point of difference.  We will 
continue to target traditional end-user buyers as 
well as local investors to a lesser extent.

Our product design is constantly reviewed to 
ensure we are meeting the needs of our buyers and 
delivering a well-designed quality fi nished product.  
We have responded to the trend of open plan, 
functional sized homes on low maintenance lots and 
will soon be rolling out a new range of designs.

For over 25 years, Villa World has proven its 
capability in delivering land and house construction. 
We have built over 17,000 houses and have 
established sound building systems and strong 
long term relationships with suppliers and sub-
contractors that enable us to deliver quality products 
at affordable prices.

The Board is confi dent that these key market 
advantages, combined with our strong balance 
sheet, will increase shareholder value and promote 
growth in the future years.  

This promising future is largely due to our strong 
management team under the capable leadership 
of Craig Treasure, our CEO and Managing Director.  
I would like to take this opportunity to thank 
Craig and his dedicated team for the outstanding 
results they have produced and for creating a 
strong platform for the future.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 
AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S 
REVIEW

ACQUISITIONS TO LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR 
SUCCESS

In FY14, our focus was on acquisitions of projects in 
new areas to provide geographic diversifi cation, as 
well as replacement projects for completed or near 
completed projects. 

As at August 2014 we had a portfolio of 3,925 lots, 
representing approximately 4.7 years of sales. 

Sales success in Queensland has prompted us to 
acquire replacement projects for Circa and Park 
Vista. Villa World will return to the Gold Coast in 
2015 with Parkside, a 108 lot project in Coomera, 
and shortly thereafter, with a 107 lot project in 
Jacob’s Well. Bayside acquisitions Era and Waterline 
will also commence sales in the coming year.

The Victorian land bank was bolstered over the 
course of the past year, with 902 lots acquired over 
six projects. To date, we have acquired one project 
at Lacosi Hill Estate in north western Sydney. This 
project is selling well, and is expected to contribute 
to revenue in the coming year. This project will allow 
the Company to re-establish our Sydney operations 
in a controlled manner.  Acquisitions will continue 
to be a priority in the year ahead. Our strategy is to 
create a land bank of fi ve to six years supply, with 
Queensland and Victoria representing an equal 
weighting in our portfolio, as well as establishing 
an initial presence in New South Wales. This will 
be achieved by targeting projects with a short to 
medium life cycle balanced with some longer dated 
projects that have the right strategic fi t, structured 
as joint ventures or staged payment transactions.  

The Company has achieved outstanding results 
throughout the past year. We remained committed 
to delivering on our targets, and fi nished the year 
with strong full year results exceeding our profi t 
guidance. I am particularly proud that we achieved 
signifi cant growth in sales, operating profi t after 
tax and were able to recommence paying dividends 
to shareholders.

Maintaining our focus on four key strategic pillars – 
acquisitions, sales, delivery and capital management 
– throughout FY14 has allowed the Company to 
deliver superior results. We look forward to building 
on this success with a continued focus on our 
strategic pillars in the year ahead. 

DELIVERING VALUE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Shareholders have seen some very strong results 
with the share price increasing by 79% for the year 
to 30 June 2014. This result, combined with the 
interim and fi nal dividend gives our shareholders 
total returns of 92%  – an outstanding result. 

The statutory result for the year was a net profi t 
after tax of $19.1 million (EPS: 21.8 cps) compared 
to a net loss after tax of $13.5 million the 
previous year. 

There was a signifi cant growth in revenue from 
land development and residential building to 
$229.5 million, a 35% increase on the previous 
year. Operating profi t before tax was $22.6 million, 
in excess of the guidance released in May 2014. 
Revenue growth of 35% compared to prior year 
was attributed to the higher level of accounting 
settlements as well as an increase in the average 
revenue per lot. 

Our strong fi nancial position saw the return to 
dividends, with a total 15 cents per share fully 
franked, declared in relation to FY14.4 This 
represents a payout ratio of 74% of Net Profi t after 
Tax, and is at the higher end of the Board’s stated 
dividend policy of paying out 50% to 75% of Net Profi t 
after Tax.  

4. Final Dividend, fully franked, of 9 cents per share was declared post 30 June 2014.

VILL A WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014         P.7

Shareholders have seen some very strong results with the share price increasing by 79% 
for the year to 30 June 2014. This result, combined with the interim and fi nal dividend gives 
our shareholders total returns of 92%  – an outstanding result. 

MAINTAINING SALES MOMENTUM

For the second consecutive year, the Company 
has enjoyed strong sales. Against a backdrop of 
mixed economic conditions, our broad sales strategy 
is on track and delivering strong results. Sales to the 
end of June 2014 were 829 compared with 610 
twelve months ago – a robust performance from 
our sales team. 

We will continue to broaden our sales strategy to 
target three key customer groups – our traditional 
retail buyers, fi rst home buyers and to a lesser 
extent investors. 

DELIVERING TO MEET DEMAND

In the past fi nancial year, we have produced 
193 lots of land only product, and built 425 
homes on registered lots. We also celebrated a 
major milestone with our fi rst Villa World homes 
completed in Victoria, at our Cascades on Clyde 
project.  

With strong sales across many projects in FY14, 
and a number of projects brought forward to satisfy 
market demand, a key challenge for the fi rst half of 
FY15 will be replenishing our stock of completed or 
near completed product. We expect this sharpened 
focus on delivery will allow for a marked increase 
in sales in the second half of FY15.

SOUND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Throughout the past year, the Company has 
successfully completed a capital raising of $32.2 
million, at $1.60 per share and has increased our 
debt facility to $155 million.

In keeping with our commitment to being an 
accessible and transparent company throughout 
the year we have conducted roadshows, investor 
visits and site tours across Brisbane, Sydney and 
Melbourne, speaking with current and prospective 
investors and analysts, as well as institutional and 
retail stock brokers.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S
REVIEW (CONTINUED)

We end the year with the support of many 
institutional shareholders. We are confi dent that 
our investor relations strategy should benefi t 
all shareholders by providing stock liquidity and 
allowing for a better share valuation. 

The fi rst tranche of the Eynesbury Project, of which 
the Company holds a 50% interest, settled in June 
2014. After settling some debt held by the Joint 
Venture, $9 million was returned to each partner 
in July 2014. These monies will be reallocated to 
acquisitions with a short to medium-term life cycle. 
We expect the second tranche of Eynesbury to settle 
in the second half of FY15.

OUTLOOK

Assuming general consumer confi dence is 
maintained, interest rates remain low and fi rst 
home buyer grants remain in place, we are confi dent 
the next year will be a year of continuing success 
through property. Our focus will remain on delivering 
and settling carried forward sales, increasing the 
level of available stock and bringing to market 
recently acquired projects, while continuing the 
search for new acquisition opportunities.

A DEDICATED TEAM 

Villa World is committed to strengthening the 
capacity of our team to deliver. As well as the 
appointment of Mark Jewell as Independent 
Chairman, we continued to strengthen our corporate 
governance team, welcoming Gerry Lambert as 
Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee in June 
2014. Gerry brings a wealth of experience as a 
director of both private and listed companies.

I would like to close out the year by extending my 
thanks to members of my executive team and our 
staff for their hard work in achieving an outstanding 
result for Villa World, our customers and investors. 
We have strived to develop a positive team culture 
and I am confi dent that every member of our team is 
focused on supporting our Company’s growth.

OPERATING FINANCIAL 
REVIEW

The statutory fi nancial result for FY14 was a net 
profi t after tax of $19.1 million, compared to a net 
loss after tax of $13.5 million in FY13. Revenue 
increased by 35% to $229.5 million, with strong 
performances at Park Vista, Circa, Brookside, First 
Light and Cascades on Clyde. Revenue was achieved 
through very strong sales during FY14 combined 
with $80.8 million of carried forward sales contracts 
from 30 June 2013. Thirteen projects contributed to 
the FY14 result, steady on FY13.

There were 721 accounting settlements5 during 
FY14, a 12% increase on FY13. Of these, 662 
accounting settlements were Villa World lots, and 
contributed to the revenue of $229.5 million. The 
balance of 59 accounting settlements, related to 
Villa World’s 50% share of lots settled at its joint 
venture Eynesbury; these are refl ected in the 
fi nancial results for the year through Share of Joint 
Venture Profi t. 

Revenue growth of 35% year on year was attributed 
to the higher level of accounting settlements as 
well as an increase in the average revenue per 
lot to $347,000 (FY13: $278,000). The revenue per 
lot of both house and land, and land only product 
increased over the period, due to some sales price 
increases, as well as the settlement of higher price 
point projects over the period (such as the premium 
housing product at Circa and premium beachside 
land at First Light). Further, the product mix shifted 
toward house and land product over the year (FY14: 
78%; FY13 59%).

CASH FLOW

Strong operating cash fl ows as well as a capital 
raising in September 2013 enabled the Company 
to expend $89.5 million on the acquisition of new 
land, whilst ending the year in a strong cash and 
debt position. During the year, $67.7 million in cash 
was generated from operating activities. This cash 
generation was reasonably consistent throughout 
the year, approximately $5.6 million per month. 
The Placement and Share Purchase Plan raised 
$32.2 million at $1.60 per share and introduced 
many new institutions to the share register.

5.  Accounting settlements require cash settlement in New South Wales.  In Queensland and Victoria, cash settlement is not required; 

rather an unconditional sales contract and for land only, land registration or for house and land, land registration and a certifi cate of 
building completion is required.

VILL A WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014         P.11

GROSS MARGIN

The gross margin for FY14 was $56.9 million, 
an increase of 21% on FY13 (FY13: $47.0). As a 
percentage, the gross margin was 24.8% (FY13: 
27.7%). During the period, additional costs and 
provisions were incurred in relation to previously 
announced warranty issues at Thornleigh and 
Silverstone. On a normalised basis, the gross margin 
was 27.0%, within our target range.

In the coming year, the gross margin is expected 
to lie at the lower end of the target range of 26% to 
29%. A balance will continue to be struck between 
margin and sales volume.

SALES CONTRACTS CARRIED FORWARD

At 30 June 2014, the Company carried forward 335 
sales contracts (worth $141.5 million6). Of these, 
239 contracts worth $107.1 million6 will settle in 
1H15. These include lots at Astonbrook, Cascades 
on Clyde, East Ridge, Park Vista and Mount Cotton. 
Parkview, Orana and a portion of Lacosi Hill, will 
be delivered in 2H15, and 67 contracts worth $25.2 
million6 are anticipated to settle in that half. The 
balance of Lacosi Hill will be delivered in 1H16, with 
29 contracts worth $9.2 million6 settling then.

SALES

The Company recorded its second year of strong 
sales growth, with 829 sales recorded during FY14 
an increase of 36% on the 610 sales recorded in 
FY13. Seventeen projects across the three eastern 

seaboard states contributed to sales this year (FY13: 
13 projects). Although Queensland remained the 
dominant contributor to sales (with 12 projects 
making up 63% of sales) recent acquisitions have 
improved geographic diversity with 24% of sales 
attributed to three Victorian projects, and two 
opportunistic acquisitions in New South Wales 
contributing to 13% of sales.

Cascades on Clyde and Park Vista recorded the 
highest sales during FY14, while Mt Cotton Village 
and Circa performed consistently across the year. 

Three short lived projects delivered quick returns 
and boosted sales in the fi rst half of FY14. First Light 
and Astonbrook, as well as Brookside, which began 
selling in FY13, all came close to selling out in the 
fi rst half of FY14. 

In the second half of the fi nancial year, the release 
of the second stage at East Ridge saw a strong 
pickup in sales. The townhouse developments of 
Orana and Circa Metro were released mid-year, and 
sales gained momentum throughout the second half 
of FY14. Two boutique acquisitions, Parkview and 
Lacosi Hill Estate, were released and were close to 
being sold out in the second half of FY14. 

While sales in FY14 were stronger than those in 
FY13 and demand remained strong throughout the 
year, sales in the second half were reduced by lower 
levels of completed stock.

OPERATING FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

FY15 SALES OUTLOOK

Market demand for Villa World product is expected 
to remain strong in the coming year. Inventory levels 
will be lifted by mid FY15 to meet this demand. 
Given the timing of delivery, sales will be weighted 
to the second half. 

Civil construction of the fi nal stages at Park Vista 
commenced in 2H14. The release of these lots 
throughout FY15 should continue the sales success 
at this project. Other projects in and around 
Brisbane are expected to remain strong in FY15. 
With construction well underway and the opening 
of display units imminent at both Orana and Circa 
Metro, sales at these townhouse developments are 
expected to accelerate. Upon sell out, sales demand 
at Circa will fl ow to a newly acquired neighbouring 
parcel of land. Reliable sales at Mount Cotton 
are expected to continue, with construction of the 
balance of the land commencing in the 2H14. 
The sales strength experienced at East Ridge in 
2H14 is expected to remain with the release of the 
balance of the project in early FY15. Demand in this 
region is expected to boost sales at the nearby house 
and land project Era and the premium land only 
estate Waterline when they are released for sale in 
early FY15. Following on from the recent success of 
Brookside, a house and land offering at Parkside in 
Coomera will be released in 1H15.

Brookside – Ormeau, Gold Coast

Augustus – Hervey Bay, Queensland

Inventory levels at Cascades on Clyde will be low, 
with production of the balance of the project to occur 
late in FY15, however the demand for land product in 
the area will be channeled to nearby Cardinia Views 
which will be released in 1H15. The Company’s fi rst 
acquisition in Greenvale, Melbourne’s northern 
growth corridor, will be released for sale in 
the 2H15.

The Company’s delivery team is focused on bringing 
product to the market, with in excess of 800 lots, 
including over 650 houses to be delivered in FY15. 
Based on current sales release dates, sales in FY15 
will be weighted towards the second half. 

SALES AND MARKETING COSTS

Sales and marketing costs were well managed 
during the year and represented 6.5% of revenue 
in FY14, compared to 7.5% in FY13. The more 
buoyant domestic property market reduced the 
need to attract sales through more expensive 
investment channels. 

EMPLOYEE COSTS

In order to meet the growing demand for our 
product, the Company increased the number of 
full time equivalent employees from 58 in FY13 to 
80 in FY14. This increased capacity was within our 
operations team. The recognition of staff bonuses 
and the increase in headcount saw a 45% increase in 
staff costs over the prior period. However, staff costs 
remain at 5% of revenue, similar to the prior year 
and well within the industry benchmarks. 
The full year salary contribution of the new 
employees hired in FY14, as well as a small number 
of new employees anticipated in FY15 will result in 
a 20% increase in staff costs in FY15.

TAX POSITION

The effective tax rate was 15% for FY14, due to the 
recognition of the deferred tax asset of $4.21 million 
relating to carried forward losses of $14.02.  

Carried forward unused tax losses of $34.6 million 
remain at 30 June 2014 of which $20.3 million 
have been recognised. The remaining tax losses 
of $14.3 million will be recognised through Board 
assessment and in accordance with accounting 
standards in due course.

ASSETS AND NTA

The gross assets have increased to $317 million as 
at 30 June 2014, as a result of the implementation of 
the successful acquisition strategy. 

The NTA at 30 June 2014 was $1.92 per share, prior 
to the declaration of the 9 cent dividend.

OTHER REVENUE AND SHARE OF PROFIT FROM 
EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS

Other revenue included $2.8 million from project 
management fees and commissions received from 
the Eynesbury project. Of this $1.32 million was 
associated with the sale of the project to the Hyde 
Group. This revenue stream will not continue 
in FY15.

The share of profi t recognised from the Eynesbury 
joint venture was $3.76 million in FY14. This was 
due to a higher recovery rate on the sale of stock on 
hand compared to the previously impaired balances, 
as well as deferred interest and reimbursements 
received, due to the deferred contract arrangement 
with the sale to the Hyde Group. It is estimated that 
approximately $1 million will be received from the 
share of profi t in the Eynesbury Joint Venture during 
FY15, mainly due to the recognition of deferred 
interest charges for the settlement of tranche two 
of the sale to the Hyde Group.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

During the year, the Company’s loan facility with 
ANZ was increased to $155 million from $110 
million. The facility was successfully extended for a 
further two years to 1 September 2016. 

At 30 June, the cash on hand and headroom7 was 
$87 million (30 June 2013: $44.7 million). The 
gearing ratio8 was 18.7% compared to 24.4% in FY13. 
Strong project related cash fl ows and the capital 
raising of $32.2 million enabled this position to 
be maintained year on year whilst investing $89.5 
million in new projects. The unused capacity in the 
facility will enable the continued execution of the 

acquisition strategy throughout FY15.

The average cost of debt for the year ending 30 
June 2014 was 7.8%. A $70 million fi xed interest 
rate swap at 3.5%9 remains in place through to 
June 2015. During the second half of FY14 a three 
year, $90 million fi xed interest swap at 3.69%9 was 
entered into, due to commence in June 2015.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends were recommenced in February 2014, with 
an interim dividend of 6 cents per share fully franked 
paid in April 2014. A fi nal dividend has been declared 
by the Board of 9 cents fully franked, to be paid in 
September 2014. Together with the interim dividend, 
this represents an annual payout ratio of 74% of 
NPAT and is within the stated dividend policy of a 
payout ratio of 50% to 75% of NPAT, paid 
semi-annually.

ACQUISITION

In FY14, the Company continued to execute on 
its acquisition strategy. Since 1 July 2012, 2,16810 
lots have been purchased11 over 19 projects. 
Signifi cantly, the acquisitions have allowed the 
Company to expand its footprint in Victoria, 
re-enter the Sydney market and replace strong 
selling projects in Queensland.

Although there is ample capacity to fund acquisitions 
through up-front payment, some of the acquisitions 
have been prudently structured, utilising deferred 
payment terms and “capital lite” solutions (payment 
out of third party settlement proceeds). 246 lots 
representing 11.3% of lots acquired have been 
structured through this “capital lite” model.

OPERATING FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

Our end product continues to be developed with 
changing market needs. Urban design is moving 
towards open plan, functional, sizeable homes, on 
low maintenance lots, with a strong focus on value 
for money. The Company will roll out a new range 
of home designs in the next 12 to 18 months which 
will suit smaller blocks while creating greater living 
spaces through smarter design practices.  

KEY RISKS

The key risks for FY15 include sales risk, 
development risk, risks associated with the general 
warranty claims and provisions and fi nancing risk.

Sales risk is largely impacted by consumer 
confi dence. Economic conditions including interest 
rates, unemployment and wages directly impact 
consumer confi dence. Villa World’s well diversifi ed 
portfolio, low gearing position assisted by structured 
acquisition deals, and product portfolio minimise 
sales risk.

Melbourne CBD

At 30 June 2014, payments due for land acquisitions 
comprise $30.4 million in trade creditors and 
$38.5 million in capital commitments (“capital lite” 
acquisitions). Post year end, a further $58.6 million 
in commitments have been entered into.

THE VILLA WORLD STRATEGY

Villa World’s proven business model and solid 
fi nancial platform, low gearing and strong operating 
cash fl ows, should enable it to continue to create 
shareholder value through the implementation of its 
strategic objectives.  

Operating in the affordable to mid residential 
housing market the Company’s strategy is low risk.  
The delivery approach is easily scaled in line with 
market demand. 

The Company will continue to acquire developable 
land, with a view to maximising shareholder returns 
through capital effi cient deal structures. Anticipated 
acquisitions will boost our land bank to fi ve to six 
year’s supply across the eastern seaboard. 

The sales strategy will continue to focus on the 
traditional retail buyer, whilst tailoring product and 
process to attract fi rst home buyers and investors.  
The Company will work with all existing partners 
to enhance the customer experience by introducing 
a contemporary approach to on site displays and 
educating sales teams (both internal and external) 
in order to lift conversion rates and reduce 
selling costs.

Financial risk has been mitigated given the debt 
facility has been increased during FY14 and is in 
place until 1 September 2016. It is anticipated that 
all covenants associated with the facility will be 
complied with.

GUIDANCE

In FY15 the Company will focus on delivering and 
settling a signifi cant level of carried forward sales as 
well as restocking through the pull forward of future 
stages of existing projects and bringing to market 
recently acquired projects. Acquisition opportunities 
will continue to be pursued which will build the 
portfolio for FY16 and beyond.

A ssuming general consumer confi dence is 
maintained, interest rates remain low and fi rst 
home buyer grants remain in place, the Company is 
targeting in excess of 5% growth in operating profi t 
before tax for FY15. Sales and profi ts are expected 
to be weighted to the second half of FY15. Further 
upside is dependent on market conditions and 
product delivery.

The effective tax rate is expected to be similar to that 
of FY14, although this is not certain.

The Board maintains its policy of paying out 50% - 
75% of NPAT in dividends over the course of the year.

The Company’s portfolio has minimal project based 
risk. Development approvals are either in place 
prior to acquisitions, or residential use is allowed 
and approval risk is mitigated by appropriate due 
diligence. The well diversifi ed portfolio combined 
with our scalable business model, transparency 
on development costs and very experienced 
development team minimises production based risk.

Warranty claims and potential litigation are inherent 
risks in the development and construction industry. 
The Company is currently subject to litigation 
involving two matters.

Thornleigh – (refer to note 20 Provisions in the 2014 
Financial statements) is a 129 lot townhouse project 
located in Thornleigh, New South Wales, which was 
completed in 2005. Construction was carried out by 
a third party builder. Certain aspects of the recent 
Referee’s determination will be challenged in Court 
by the Company, and may be challenged by other 
parties. There will be cost orders made by the Court 
against the Company. Whilst the Company has made 
an assessment of the likely outcome of the Court 
hearing and provided for these costs, there is some 
risk that the fi nancial outcome for the Company may 
differ from the amount of the provision.

Silverstone – (refer to the Note 26 Contingencies in 
the 2014 Financial statements) is a 27 apartment 
complex located in Tweed Heads, New South Wales 
which was completed in 2009. This litigation involves 
building defects and is in the early stages. The 
matter is complex and involves numerous parties. 
In the short term, there will be ongoing expenditure 
by the Company on legal fees and experts’ costs (for 
which provision has been made). In the longer term, 
whilst the Company is defending the proceedings 
and has joined other parties, there is a risk of an 
adverse fi nancial outcome for the Company. The 
likelihood and amount of that outcome cannot 
presently be reliably estimated and no provision has 
been made.

Investment in the Eynesbury Joint Venture 

As  previously  disclosed  the  Company  has  entered  into 
unconditional  contracts  for  the  sale  of  the  Eynesbury 
project (in which the Company holds a 50% interest). On 27 
June  2014  the  first  tranche  (comprising  part  of  the  land 
and  the  golf  course  business)  was  completed  at  a  sale 
price of $30.0 million plus GST. 

As at 30 June 2014 the equity accounted investment in the 
Eynesbury Joint Venture was $18.0 million. On 7 July 2014 
$9.0 million was repaid to each Joint Venture partner, with 

the  carrying  value  of  the  investment  reducing  to  $9.0 
million. 

Acquisition - Victoria 

On  14  July  2014,  the  Company  announced  that  it  had 
entered into a Put & Call Option in relation to a site located 
at  Greenvale  in  the  northern  suburbs  of  Melbourne,  well 
serviced by key infrastructure and amenities. 

The  land  owner  is  required  to  deliver  completed  vacant 
lots,  for  the  Company  to  construct  dwellings  and  sell 
house  and  land  packages.  The  transaction  totals  $26.2 
million  (including  GST)  and  is  to  be  paid  progressively  to 
the land owner from the settlement proceeds of the house 
and land sales. 

The site is expected to yield approximately 131 residential 
lots, comprising traditional Villa World housing designs on 
a variety of lot sizes.

Remuneration strategy for non-executive directors 

Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the 
demands which are made on and the responsibilities of the 
directors.  Non-executive  directors  receive  a  fixed  fee  for 
their  services.  Fees  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Board, 
taking 
into  account  amounts  paid  to  non-executive 
directors with comparable roles in the external market. 

Fees  are  determined  within  an  aggregate  directors’  fee

Remuneration strategy for executive directors   
and other KMPs 

is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance 

The  objective  of  the  Company’s  executive  remuneration 
framework 
is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The 
framework  provides  a  mix  of  fixed  and  variable  pay 
including appropriate incentives. 

Executive  directors  do  not  participate  in  discussions 
relating  to  their  own  remuneration.  Remuneration  for  the 
Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Managing  Director  and  KMPs 
includes  a  combination  of  fixed  remuneration  and  key 
performance  related  incentives  that  enable  the  Company 
to attract and retain a suitable calibre of personnel. 

The framework aligns executive rewards with the creation 
of value for shareholders. Performance based rewards are 
linked  to  the  achievement  of  individual  performance 
criteria and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board. 
The  remuneration  package  for  the  Chief  Executive  Officer 
and  Managing  Director  and  KMPs  is  determined  by  the 
Board and assessed against the broader market. 

Components of executive remuneration 

Total fixed remuneration 

Total Fixed Remuneration (“TFR”) is a market related base 
salary  including  superannuation  contributions.  TFR  is 
determined  by  reference  to  the  TFRs  offered  by  the 
average  to  top  quarter  of  comparator  industry  employers 
and  is  subject  to  annual  benchmarking.  TFR  is  reviewed 
annually and upon change of role or responsibility. 

Short-term incentives 

term 

incentive 

target  short 

KMPs  have  a 
(“STI”) 
opportunity  depending  on  the  accountabilities  of  the  role 
and  impact  on  the  Company’s  performance.  Actual  STI 
awards can range from 0-40% of TFR. These are awarded 
based  on  the  successful  achievement  of  pre-determined 
Board  approved  Key  Performance  Indicators  (“KPIs”).  A 
sliding scale element is incorporated into relevant KPIs to 
motivate  the  KMPs  to  outperform  base  targets  set. 
However,  the  Board  has  the  discretion  to  pay  over  and 
above these amounts. 

Each year the Board considers the appropriate targets and 
KPIs  to  link  to  the  STI  plan  and  the  level  of  cash 
disbursement  if  targets  are  met  for  the  KMPs.  This  may 
include  setting  any  maximum  payout  under  the  STI  plan 
and minimum levels of performance to trigger payment of 
STI. 

The  KPIs  are  set  by  reference  to  four  criteria,  which  are 
shown below: 

 –

Financial  targets  based  on  the  achievement  of  Board 
approved  budgets,  forecasts  and  compliance  with  bank 
target ratios. 

– Business  growth  targets  including  the  development  and 

implementation of long-term strategic planning. 
People and process improvements across the Company. 
–
– Maintenance  and  enhancement  of  work  health  and   

safety,  corporate  compliance  and  product  quality 
platforms within the Company. 

For  the  CEO  and  Managing  Director,  the  financial  and 
business  growth  targets  account  for  40%  of  his  STI  for 
FY14.For  the  FY13  and  FY14  years,  the  KPIs  were  linked  to 
STI plans and were based on very similar criteria.

Long-term incentives 

The Company operates long-term incentives ("LTIs") in the 
form  of  the  Villa  World  Limited  Option  Plan,  approved  by 
shareholders  at  the  Company’s  AGM  on  30  October  2013. 
For options that have been issued to date, the options vest 
at  the  completion  of  three  years’  service  from  the  grant 
date. Under the terms of the options granted to date, if the 
participating  employee  leaves  the  Company  before  the 
vesting date, the options are cancelled, although the Board 
may waive this restriction at its discretion.

Share-based payments 

 (a)  Villa World Limited Option Plan 

The  grant  of  options  over  ordinary  shares  in  Villa  World  Limited  to  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Managing  Director,  Craig 
Treasure, was approved by shareholders at a general meeting on 22 July 2013. The issue of options is designed to provide long 
term incentives for the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director to deliver long term returns. 

The Board also approved the issue of options over ordinary shares in Villa World Limited to other KMPs and staff. As at 30 June 
2014, 4.0 million options have been issued in total to KMPs. Under the terms of the options granted to date, the options will only 
vest  if  the  participating  KMPs  continue  their  respective  service  agreements  with  the  Company  for  three  years  from the grant 
date. 

The assessed  fair  value  of  the  options at  the  grant  date  of 26 July  2013 is  10  cents  per  option. The  fair value at  grant  date is 
independently determined using a Binomial Option Price Valuation Model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of 
the  option,  the  impact  of  dilution,  the  share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share,  the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. 

The model inputs for options granted include: 

options are granted for no consideration and vested options are exercisable for a period of six months after vesting 
exercise price: $1.25 

(i) 
(ii) 
(iii)  grant date: 26 July 2013 
(iv)  expiry date: 26 January 2017 
(v) 
share price at grant date: $1.25 
(vi)  expected price volatility of shares: 25% 
(vii)  expected dividend yield: 9% 
(viii)  risk free rate: 2.57% 

The volatility assumption is representative of the level of uncertainty expected in the movements of the share price over the life 
of the option. The historic volatility of the market price of the Company’s share and the mean reversion tendency of volatilities 
are the two factors which are assessed when determining the expected volatility. 

Set out below is a summary of the terms and conditions of each grant of options to KMPs under the Option Plan which will effect 
remuneration in the future reporting period:

30 June 2014 (continued) 

Insurance premiums (continued) 

The  Company  has  entered  into  Deeds  of  Indemnity  in 
favour  of  each  of  the  directors  referred  to  in  this  report 
who  held  office  during  the  year  and  the  Company 
Secretary.  Additionally,  separate  deeds  of  indemnity  have 
been  entered  into  with  other  persons  who  have  been 
requested to act as directors or officers of the Company or 
its  related  bodies  corporate.  The  indemnities  in  these 
deeds  operate  to  the  full  extent permitted  by  law and are 
not subject to a monetary limit. The Company is not aware 
of any liability having arisen and no claims have been made 
during  or  since  the  financial  year  under  the  Deeds  of 
Indemnity. 

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of 
the  financial  year,  except  to  the  extent  permitted  by  law, 
indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of 
the  Company  or  of  any  related  body  corporate  against  a 
liability incurred as such an officer or auditor. 

Indemnity of auditors 

Details  of  the  amounts  paid  to  the  auditors  of  the 
Company,  Ernst  &  Young  for  audit  and  non-audit  services 
provided  during  the  year  are  set  out  in  note  7  of  the 
financial  statements.  To  the  extent  permitted  by  law,  the 
Company  has  agreed  to  indemnify  its  auditors,  Ernst  & 
Young,  as  part  of  the  terms  of  its  audit  engagement 
agreement against claims by third parties arising from the 
audit  (for  an  unspecified  amount).  No  payment  has  been 
made  to  indemnify  Ernst  &  Young  during  or  since  the 
financial year. 

Non-audit services 

Ernst  &  Young  was  appointed  lead  auditor  at  the  AGM  on 
the  30  October  2013.  PwC  was  the  lead  auditor  for  the 
period ended 30 June 2013. Details of the amounts paid or 
payable  to  the  auditor  (Ernst  &  Young)  for  audit  and 
non-audit services provided during the year are set out in 
note 7. 

The Board has considered the position and, in accordance 
with  the  advice  received  from  the  Audit  and  Risk 

VILL A WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014         P.25

V I L L A   W O R L D   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 4   / / P 2 5

Committee,  is  satisfied  that  the  provision  of  non-audit 
services  is  compatible  with  the  general  standard  of 
independence  for  auditors  imposed  by  the  Corporations 
Act 2001.  The  Directors  are  satisfied  that  the  auditor's 
provision  of  non-audit  services  did  not  compromise  the 
Act's  independence  requirements  because  none  of  the 
services  undermine  the  general  principles  relating  to 
auditor independence as set out in APES110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants. 

The  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  reviewed  all  non-audit 
services  to  ensure  they  did  not  impact  the  auditor's 
impartiality and objectivity. 

Auditor's independence declaration 

A  copy  of  the  auditor's  independence  declaration  as 
required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 
is set out on page 26. 

Rounding of amounts 

issued  by 

The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Class  Order 
98/100, 
the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments  Commission,  relating  to  the  'rounding  off'  of 
amounts in the directors' report. Amounts in the directors' 
report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class 
Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, 
to the nearest dollar. 

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of 
Director's.

 1  Summary of significant accounting policies 

V I L L A   W O R L D   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 4   / / P 3 4

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These 
policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for 
the consolidated entity consisting of Villa World Limited and its subsidiaries. 

 (a)  Basis of preparation   

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the Corporations Act 2001.  Villa  World  Limited  is  a 
for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

 (i)  Compliance with IFRS 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Villa  World  Limited  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards 
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

 (ii)  Historical cost convention 

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, financial assets and liabilities (including 
derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss. 

 (iii)  Critical accounting estimates 

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management 
to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of 
judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in 
note  2.  Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting  estimates  are 
recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. 

 (iv)  Functional and presentation currency 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of 
Villa World Limited. 

 (b)  Parent entity financial information 

The financial information for the Parent entity, Villa World Limited, disclosed in note 15 has been prepared on the same basis as 
the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below. 

 (i)  Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities 

Investments in controlled entities are carried in the Company’s financial statements at the lower of cost or recoverable amount. 
Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss when its right to receive the dividend is 
established. 

 (ii)  Tax consolidation legislation 

Villa  World  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  controlled  entities  have  implemented  the  tax  consolidation  legislation. 
Refer to note 1(h). 

 (c)  New accounting standards and interpretations 

New standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2013 
have been adopted by the Company. The Company has assessed the impact of these new standards and interpretations and has 
outlined their expected impacts in the following table:

Financial Statements 

Nature Of Change 
AASB  10  establishes  a  new  control  model  that 
applies  to  all  entities.  It  replaces  parts  of  AASB  127 
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. 

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements  AASB 11 uses the principles of control in AASB10 to 
define  joint  control  and  removes  the  option  to 
account 
jointly  controlled  entities  using 
proportionate  consolidation.  Accounting  for  a  joint 
arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights 
and obligations arising from the arrangement. 
AASB  12  includes  all  disclosures  relating  to  an 
entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, 
associates and structured entities.

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations 
have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for  30  June 
2014  reporting  periods  and  have  not  yet  been  applied  in 
the  financial  statements.  The  Company's  assessment  of 
the  impact  of  these  new  standards  and  interpretations  is 
set out below. 

 (i)  AASB9, AASB2009-11, AASB2010-7 

AASB  9 Financial Instruments  includes  requirements  for 
the  classification,  measurement  and  derecognition  of 
financial assets. These requirements improve and simplify 
the  approach  for  classification  and  measurement  of 
financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 
139.  The  standard  is  not  applicable  until  1  January  2018 
but is available for early adoption. While the Company does 
not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on 
its  financial  position,  it  has  yet  to  perform  a  detailed 
analysis of the new guidance. 

 (ii)  IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

IFRS  15  Revenue  from  Contracts  and  Customers 
establishes  principles  for  reporting  useful  information  to 
users  of  financial  statements  about  the  nature,  amount, 
timing  and  uncertainty  of  revenue  and  cash  flows  arising 
from an entity's contracts with customers. The standard is 
not  applicable  until  1  January  2018  but  is  available  for 
early  adoption.  While  the  Company  does  not  expect  the 
new  standard  to  have  a  significant  impact  on  its  financial 
position,  it  has  yet  to  perform  a  detailed  analysis  of  the 
new guidance. 

 (d)  Principles of consolidation 

 (i)  Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries  are  all  entities  over  which  the  Company  has 
the  power,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  govern  their  financial 
and  operating  policies  so  as  to  obtain  benefits  from  its 
activities.  Control  is  achieved  when  the  Company  is 
exposed,  or  has  rights,  to  variable  returns  from  its 
involvement  with  the  subsidiary  and  has  the  ability  to 
affect  those  returns  through  its  power.  Specifically,  the 

Company  controls  a  subsidiary  if  and  only  if  the Company 
has: 

–

–

–

Power over the subsidiary (i.e. existing rights that 
give it the current ability to direct the relevant 
activities of the subsidiary) 
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement with the subsidiary, and 
The ability to use its power over the subsidiary to 
affect its returns. 

In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently 
are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The 
adoption  of  AASB  11  has  not  impacted  the  treatment  of 
subsidiaries for the Company. 

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 
control 
the  Company.  They  are 
de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

transferred. 

 (ii)  Joint ventures 

The interest in a joint venture partnership is accounted for 
in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  using  the  equity 
method  after  initially  being  recognised  at  cost.  Under  the 
equity  method,  the  share  of  the  profits  or  losses  of  the 
joint venture is recognised in the income statement andthe 
share  of  post-acquisition  movements 
is 
recognised in other comprehensive income.   

in  reserves 

Profits  or  losses  on  transactions  establishing  the  joint 
venture  partnership  and  transactions  with  the 
joint 
venture  are  eliminated  to  the  extent  of  the  Company's 
ownership interest until such time as they are realised by

 (e)  Revenue recognition 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are 
net  of  returns,  trade  allowances,  rebates  and  amounts 
collected on behalf of third parties. 

The  Company  recognises  revenue  when  the  amount  of 
revenue  can  be  reliably  measured,  it  is  probable  that 
future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific 
criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities 
as  described  below.  The  Company  bases  its  estimates  on 
historical  results,  taking  into  consideration  the  type  of 
customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each 
arrangement. 

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as 
follows: 

 (i)  Land development and resale 

Revenue  and  costs  of  sales  are  brought  to  account  when 
the  significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  and 
effective control over the goods have passed to the buyer. 
The  significant  risks  and  rewards  are  considered  to  be 
transferred  to  the  buyer  when  the  Company  retains 
neither  continuing  managerial  involvement  to  the  degree 
usually  associated  with  ownership  nor  effective  control 
over  the  units  sold.  This  is  considered  to  be  when  the 
contract  becomes  unconditional  or  upon  settlement 
depending  on  the  terms  of  the  contract  and  when  it  is 
probable  that  the  economic  benefits  associated  with  the 
transaction will flow to the Company. 

 (ii)  Construction contracts 

Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the 
contract  plus  any  variations  in  contract  work,  claims  and 
incentive  payments,  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that 
they  will  result  in  revenue  and  can  be  measured  reliably. 
As  soon  as the  outcome of a  construction  contract  can  be 
estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised in profit 
or  loss  in  proportion  to  the  stage  of  completion  of  the 
contract. Contract expenses are recognised in accordance 
with the stage of completion unless they create an asset to 
future contract activity. 

The  stage  of  completion  is  assessed  internally.  When  the 
outcome  of  a  construction  contract  cannot  be  estimated 
reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent 
of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. 
An  expected  loss  on  a  contract  is  recognised immediately 
in the income statement. 

 (iii)  Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the income statement on 
an  accruals  basis.

costs  or  other  differences  between  the  initial  carrying

Interest  income  is  recognised  on  a  gross  basis  including 
withholding tax, if any.

 (iv)  Sale of non-current assets 

The net loss or gain on sale of assets is calculated as the 
difference  between  the  gross  proceeds  of  sale  and  the 
carrying  amount  of  the  asset  at  the  time  of  disposal 
(including  incidental  costs)  and  is  recognised  in  other 
income. 

 (v)  Dividends and distribution 

Dividend revenue is recognised net of any franking credits. 

Revenue from dividends and distributions from controlled 
entities  is  recognised  by  the  Company  when  the  right  to 
receive the distribution has been established. This applies 
even if dividends are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. 

 (f)  Expense recognition 

Expenses  are  recognised  in  the  income  statement  on  an 
accrual basis. 

 (g)  Finance costs

in  connection  with 

incurred 

Borrowing  costs  incurred  for  the  construction  of  any 
qualifying  asset  are  capitalised  during  the  period  of  time 
that is  required  to  complete  and prepare  the  asset  for  its 
intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed. 

 (h) 

Income tax 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It 
is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  except  to  the  extent  that it 
relates  to  items  recognised  directly  in  equity  or  other 
comprehensive income. 

Villa  World  Limited  and 
its  wholly-owned  Australian 
controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation 
legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a 
single  entity  and  the  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  of 
these  entities  are  set  off  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. 

 (i)  Current tax 

Current  tax  comprises  the  expected  tax  payable  or 
receivable  on  the  taxable income  or  loss  for  the  year  and 
any  adjustment  to  tax  payable  or  receivable  in  respect  of 
previous  years.  It  is  measured  using  tax  rates  enacted  or 
substantively  enacted  at  the  reporting  date.  Current  tax 
also includes any tax arising from dividends. 

 (ii)  Deferred tax 

is  recognised 

Deferred  tax 
in  respect  of  temporary 
differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and 
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts 
used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised 
for: 

–

–

temporary  differences  on  the  initial  recognition  of 
assets  or  liabilities  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a 
business  combination  and 
that  affects  neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss. 
temporary  differences  related  to 
in 
subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the 
extent that the Company is able to control the timing of 
the  reversal  of  the  temporary  differences  and  it  is 
probable  that  they  will  not  reverse  in  the  foreseeable 
future.

tax  assets  are  recognised 

Deferred 
for  deductible 
temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  only  if  it  is 
probable  that  future  taxable  amounts  will  be  available  to 
utilise  those  temporary  differences  and  losses.  Deferred 
tax  assets  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and  are 
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the 
related tax benefit will be realised. 

Deferred  tax  is  measured  at  the  tax  rates  that  are 
expected to be applied to temporary differences when they 
reverse,  using  tax  rates  enacted  or  substantively  enacted 
at the reporting date. 

The  measurement  of  deferred  tax  reflects  the  tax 
consequences that would follow from the manner in which 
the  Company  expects,  at  the  reporting date,  to  recover  or 
settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain 
criteria are met. 

 (i)  Leases 

Leases  in  which  a  significant  portion  of  the  risks  and 
rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company 
as  lessee  are  classified  as  operating  leases  (note  27). 
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. 

 (j)  Property, plant and equipment 

 (i)  Recognition and measurement 

Items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  at 
cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  accumulated 
impairment losses. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item 
of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or 
loss. 

 (ii)  Subsequent expenditure 

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable 
that  the  future  economic  benefits  associated  with  the 
expenditure will flow to the Company. 

 (iii)  Depreciation 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line or diminishing 
value  basis  to  write  off  the  net  cost  of  each  item  of 
property,  plant  and  equipment, 
leased 
equipment, over its expected useful life to the consolidated 
entity.  Leased  assets  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of 
the  lease  term  and  their  useful  lives  unless 
is 
reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership 
by the end of the lease term. The expected useful lives of 
property, plant and equipment are: 

including

–
- – Plant and equipment 
- – Leasehold improvements

- –

3 - 5 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, 
and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  the  end  of  each  reporting 
period.

 (k) 

Impairment of assets 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are tested 
for impairment at each balance sheet date where there are 
events  or  changes  in  circumstances  that  indicate  they 
might be impaired. 

An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  whenever  the  carrying 
amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount. 
Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement 
unless  the  asset  has  previously  been  re-valued,  in  which 
case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the 
extent  of  that  previous  revaluation  with  any  excess 
recognised through the income statement. 

The  recoverable  amount  of  assets  is  the  greater  of  their 
fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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.  For  an 
asset  that  does  not  generate  largely  independent  cash 
inflows,  the  recoverable  amount  is  determined  for  the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

If  such 

An  assessment 
is  made  at  each  reporting  date  to 
determine  whether  there  is  an  indication  that  previously 
recognised  impairment  losses  no  longer  exist  or  have 
the  Company 
decreased. 
estimates  the  asset's  recoverable  amount.  A  previously 
recognised  impairment  loss  is  reversed  only  if  there  has 
been  a  change  in  the  assumptions  used  to  determine  the 
asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss 
was recognised. 

indication  exists, 

The  reversal  is  limited  so  that  the  carrying amount  of the 
asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed 
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net 
of  depreciation,  had  no  impairment  loss  been  recognised 
for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in 
the  statement of  profit or  loss  unless  the  asset  is  carried 
at  a  revalued  amount,  in  which  case,  the  reversal  is 
treated as a revaluation increase. 

 (l)  Cash and cash equivalents 

For  the  purpose  of  presentation  in  the  consolidated 
statement  of  cash  flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents 
includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial 
institutions,  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 
in  the  consolidated 
borrowings 
balance sheet. 

in  current  liabilities 

 (m)  Inventories 

 (i)  Land held for resale and development costs 

Land held for resale is stated at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. Cost is assigned by specific identification 
and includes the cost of acquisition, and development and 
borrowing  costs  during  development  (if  the  asset  is  a 
is  completed 
qualifying  asset).  When  development 
borrowing  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.  Other  holding 
costs are expensed as incurred. 

The  cost  of  land  and  buildings  acquired  under  contracts 
entered  into  but  not  settled  prior  to  balance  date  are  not 
taken  up  as  inventories  and  as  liabilities  at  balance  date 

 
 
 
 
P.38        VILL A WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2014 (continued) 

unless  all  contractual  conditions  have  been  fulfilled  and 
there is certainty of completion of the purchase evident at 
balance sheet date. 

Borrowing costs included in the cost of land held for resale 
are  those  costs  that  would  have  been  avoided  if  the 
expenditure  on  the  acquisition  and  development  of  the 
land  had  not  been  made.  Borrowing  costs  incurred  while 
active development is interrupted for extended periods are 
recognised as expenses. 

 (n)  Trade receivables 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the 
effective  interest  method,  less  provision  for  impairment. 
Trade  receivables  are  generally  due  for  settlement  no 
more  than  120  days  from  the  date  of  recognition  for  land 
development and resale debtors and no more than 60 days 
for  other  debtors.  They  are  presented  as  current  assets 
unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months 
after the reporting date. 

Collectability  of  trade  receivables  is  reviewed  on  an 
ongoing  basis.  Debts  which  are  known  to  be  uncollectible 
are  written  off  by  reducing  the  carrying  amount  directly. 
An  allowance  account  (provision  for  impairment  of  trade 
receivables)  is  used when  there  is  objective  evidence  that 
the  Company  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 indicators that 
the  trade  receivable  is  impaired.  The  amount  of  the 
impairment  allowance  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.  Cash  flows  relating  to  short-term 
receivables  are  not  discounted  if  the  effect  of  discounting 
is immaterial. 

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit 
or loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for 
which  an  impairment  allowance  had  been  recognised 
becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written 
off  against  the  allowance  account.  Subsequent  recoveries 
of  amounts  previously  written  off  are  credited  against 
other expenses in profit or loss. 

 (o)  Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year 
which  are  unpaid.  The  amounts  are  unsecured  and  are 
usually  paid  within  30-60  days  of  recognition.  Trade  and 
other  payables  are  presented  as  current  liabilities  unless 
payment  is  not  due  within  12  months  from  the  reporting 
date.  They  are  recognised  initially  at  their  fair  value  and 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the 
effective interest method. 

 (p)  Derivatives and hedging activities 

interest  rate  risks. 

The  Company  uses  derivative  financial  instruments  to 
hedge 
its 
investment  strategy,  the  entity  does  not  hold  or  issue 
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. 

In  accordance  with 

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date 
a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently

remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting 
period.  The  accounting  for  subsequent  changes  in  fair 
value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a 
hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being 
hedged. 

The Company designates its derivatives as: 

(i)  Cash flow hedge

instrument,  the  effective  portion  of  changes  in  the  fair

of  the  derivative  is  recognised  immediately  in  profit  or 
loss.

the same period or periods during which the hedged item 
affects profit or loss. 

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for 
hedge  accounting,  expires  or  is  sold,  terminated  or 
exercised,  or  the  designation  is  revoked,  then  hedge 
accounting  is  discontinued  prospectively.  If  the  forecast 
transaction  is  no  longer  expected  to  occur,  then  the 
amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit and 
loss. 

 (q)  Borrowings 

Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of 
transaction  costs  incurred.  Borrowings  are  subsequently 
measured  at  amortised  cost.  Any  difference  between  the 
proceeds  (net  of  transaction  costs)  and  the  redemption 
amount  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  over  the  period  of 
the  borrowings  using  the  effective  interest  method.  Fees 
paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised 
as  transaction  costs  of  the  loan  to  the  extent  that  it  is 
probable  that  some  or  all  of  the  facility  will  be  drawn 
down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down 
occurs.  To  the  extent  there  is  no  evidence  that  it  is 
probable  that  some  or  all  of  the  facility  will  be  drawn 
down,  the  fee  is  capitalised  as  a  prepayment  for  liquidity 
services  and  amortised  over  the  period  of  the  facility  to 
which it relates. 

Interest expense is accrued at the effective interest rate. 

in 

the  contract 

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the 
obligation  specified 
is  discharged, 
cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying 
amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or 
transferred  to  another  party  and  the  consideration  paid, 
including  any  non-cash  assets  transferred  or  liabilities 
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or 
finance costs. 

Borrowings  are  classified  as  current  liabilities  unless  the 
Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of 
the  liability  for  at  least  12  months  after  the  reporting 
period. 

 (r)  Provisions 

Provisions  for  legal  claims,  service  warranties  and  make 
good  obligations are  recognised when  the  Company  has a 
present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past 
events,  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  resources  will  be 
required to settle the obligation and the amount has been

reliably  estimated.  Provisions  are  not  recognised  for 
future operating losses. 

is  recognised  when  the 
A  provision  for  warranties 
underlying  products  or  services  are  sold. The  provision is 
based  on  historical  warranty  data  and  a  weighting  of  all 
possible  outcomes  against  their  associated  possibilities. 
Where  the  Company  expects  some  or  all  of a  provision  to 
be  reimbursed,  such  as  under  an  insurance  contract,  the 
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only 
when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense 
relating  to  any  provision  is  presented  in  the  income 
statement net of any reimbursement. 

Provisions  are  measured  at 
the  present  value  of 
management's  best  estimate  of  the  expenditure  required 
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting 
period.  The  discount  rate  used  to  determine  the  present 
value  is  a  pre-tax  rate  that  reflects  current  market 
assessments  of  the  time  value  of  money  and  the  risks 
specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to 
the passage of time is recognised as interest expense. 

A  provision  for  onerous  contracts  is  recognised  when  the 
expected  benefits  to  be derived  by  the  consolidated  entity 
from  a  contract  are  lower  than  the  unavoidable  cost  of 
meeting its obligations under the contract. 

 (s)  Employee benefits 

 (i)  Short-term obligations 

Liabilities for salaries and wages, including non-monetary 
benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 
months of the reporting date are recognised as provisions 
in  respect  of  employees  services  up  to  the  reporting  date 
and  are  measured  as  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid 
when the liabilities are settled. 

 (ii)  Other long-term employee benefit obligations 

The  Company's  net  obligation  in  respect  of  long-term 
employee  benefits  is  the  amount  of  future  benefits  that 
employees  have  earned  in  return  for  their  service  in  the 
current  and  prior  periods.  That  benefit  is  discounted  to 
determine 
its  present  value.  Remeasurements  are 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  period  in  which  they 
arise.  The  obligations  are  presented  as  current  liabilities 
in  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  if  the  entity  does  not 
have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 
twelve  months  after  the  reporting  date,  regardless  of 
when the actual settlement is expected to occur. 

 (iii)  Share-based payments 

Share-based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to  key 
personnel  via  an  employee  option  scheme.  Information 
relating to these schemes is set out in note 29. 

The  fair  value  of  options  granted  under  the  Villa  World 
Limited Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefits 
expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total 
amount  to  be  expensed  is  determined  by  reference  to  the 
fair  value  of  the  options  granted,  which  includes  any 
market  performance  conditions  and  the  impact  of  any 
non-vesting  conditions  but  excludes  the  impact  of  any 
service and non-market performance vesting conditions. 

The  total  expense  is  recognised  over  the  vesting  period, 
which is  the  period  over  which all  of  the  specified vesting 
conditions  are  to  be  satisfied.  At  the  end  of  each  period, 
the  entity  revises  its  estimates  of  the  number  of  options 

VILL A WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014         P.39

V I L L A   W O R L D   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 4   / / P 3 9

that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting 
conditions.  It  recognises  the  impact  of  the  revision  to 
in  profit  or  loss,  with  a 
original  estimates, 
corresponding adjustment to equity. 

if  any, 

 (iv)  Bonus plans 

The  Company  recognises  a  liability  and  an  expense  for 
bonuses.  The  Company  recognises  a  liability  where  it  is 
contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that 
has created a constructive obligation. 

 (v)  Termination benefits 

Termination  benefits  are  expensed  at  the  earlier  of  when 
the  Company  can  no  longer  withdraw  the  offer  of  those 
benefits  and  when  the  Company  recognises  costs  for  a 
restructuring.  If  benefits  are  not  expected  to  be  settled 
wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, 
then they are discounted. 

 (t)  Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

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

If the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, for 
example  as  the  result  of  a  share  buy-back,  those 
instruments  are  deducted  from  equity  and  the  associated 
shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the 
profit  or  loss  and  the  consideration  paid  including  any 
directly  attributable  incremental  costs  (net  of  income 
taxes) is recognised directly in equity. 

 (u)  Dividends 

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, 
being  appropriately  authorised  and  no  longer  at  the 
discretion  of  the  entity,  on  or  before  the  end  of  the 
reporting  period  but  not  distributed  at  the  end  of  the 
reporting period. 

 (v)  Segment reporting 

Operating  segments  are  reported  in  a  manner  consistent 
with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision  maker  ("CODM").  The  CODM,  who  is  responsible 
for allocating resources and assessing performance of the 
operating  segments,  has  been  identified  as  the  executive 
team. 

Disclosures  concerning  the  Company’s  operating  and 
reportable  segments,  as  well  as  the  key  financial 
information provided to the CODM are set out in note 32 - 
Segment Information. 

 (w)  Earnings per share 

 (i)  Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: 

–

–

the profit attributable to owners of the Company, 
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than 
ordinary shares;   
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for 
bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the 
period and excluding treasury shares. 

 
  
 
P.40        VILL A WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2014 (continued) 

 (ii)  Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the 
determination of basic earnings per share to take into 
account: 
–

the after income tax effect of interest and other 
financing costs associated with dilutive potential 
ordinary shares; and 
the weighted average number of additional ordinary 
shares that would have been outstanding assuming the 
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

–

 (x)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets/liabilities  (other  than 
receivables)  are  recognised  net  of 
the  amount  of 
associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as 
part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the 
expense.  Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  with  the 
amount  of  GST 
included.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  is  included  as  a 
current asset or liability in the balance sheet. 

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

 (y)  Rounding of amounts 

issued  by 

The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Class  Order 
98/100, 
the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments  Commission,  relating  to  the  'rounding  off'  of 
amounts  in  the  financial  statements.  Amounts  in  the 
financial statements have been rounded off in accordance 
with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in 
certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

V I L L A   W O R L D   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 4   / / P 4 0

estimate. The assumptions made in relation to the current 
period are consistent with those in the prior year. 

 (ii)  Inventory 

The inventory of the Company is stated as the lower of cost 
and net realisable value in accordance with the accounting 
policy stated in note 1(m). The net realisable value amount 
has  been  determined  based  on  the  current  future 
estimated  cash  flow  of  the  projects.  Realisation 
is 
dependent  on  the  ability  to  meet  forecasted/estimated 
cash flows. 

 (iii)  Income taxes 

The Company is subject to income taxes in Australia. 

The  Company  recognises  liabilities  based  on  the  current 
understanding of the tax law. Where that final tax outcome 
of  these  matters  is  different  from  the  amounts  that  were 
initially recorded, such differences will impact the current 
and  deferred  tax  provisions  in  the  period  in  which  such 
determination is made. 

In  addition,  the  Company  has  recognised  deferred  tax 
assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent 
there  are  sufficient 
temporary  differences 
taxable 
(deferred  tax  liabilities)  relating  to  the  same  taxation 
authority  and  the  same  subsidiary  against  which  the 
unused tax losses can be utilised. 

Utilisation  of  the  tax  losses  also depends  on  the  ability  of 
the Company to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses 
are  recouped.  It  is  believed  that  the  Company  will  satisfy 
the  continuity  of  ownership  test  and  the  same  business 
test in order to utilise any tax losses. 

 (b)  Critical judgements in applying the entity's   

accounting policies 

 2  Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

 (i)  Impairment of equity accounted investments 

the  equity  method, 

After  application  of 
(including 
recognising  the  joint  venture’s  losses),  the  Company 
applies  AASB  139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement  to  determine  whether  it  is  necessary  to 
recognise  any  additional  impairment  loss  with  respect  to 
its  net  investment  in  the  joint  venture.  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).  Estimating  these  future  cash  flows  of  the 
joint venture requires significant judgement and therefore 
actual amounts may differ from this impairment estimate. 

Estimates  and  judgements  are  continually  evaluated  and 
are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other  factors, 
including  expectations  of  future  events  that  may  have  a 
financial  impact  on  the  entity  and  that  are  believed  to  be 
reasonable under the circumstances. 

 (a)  Critical accounting estimates and assumptions 

The  Company  makes  estimates  and  assumptions 
concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates 
will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. 
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk 
of  causing a material adjustment  to  the  carrying amounts 
of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  financial  year  are 
discussed below. 

 (i)  Warranty claims 

The  Company  generally  offers  a  6  year  6  month  warranty 
for  its  housing  products.  Management  estimates  the 
related  provision  for  future  warranty  claims  based  on 
historical  warranty  claim  information,  as  well  as  recent 
trends  that  might  suggest  that  past  cost  information  may 
differ  from  future  claims.  The  Company  includes  legal 
costs in the provision for warranty claims to the extent that 
it has a present obligation to incur these costs at the end of 
the reporting period. Estimating this provision requires the 
exercise  of  significant  judgement  and  it  is  therefore 
possible  that  actual  amounts  may  differ  from  this

During the year a prima facie taxable income of $13.9 million (30 June 2013: $2.1 million taxable income) was generated by the 
Company. Unused tax losses of $20.3 million (30 June 2013: $21.0 million) with a potential tax benefit of $6.1 million (30 June 
2013: $6.3 million) have been recognised at 30 June 2014. The Company has not recognised $14.3 million of tax losses (30 June 
2013:  $28.4  million)  with  a  potential  tax  benefit  of  $4.3  million  (30  June  2013:  $8.5  million).  Total  unused  tax  losses  for  the 
Company at 30 June 2014 are $34.6 million (30 June 2013: $49.4 million). 

 (e)  Tax consolidation legislation 

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 12 
December 2006. The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in note 1(h). On adoption of the tax consolidation 
legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated group entered into tax sharing agreements which, in the opinion of the Directors, 
limits the joint and several liability of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, the Company. 

The  entities  have  also  entered  into  tax  funding  agreements  under  which  the  wholly-owned  entities  fully  compensate  for  any 
current tax payable assumed and are compensated by the head entities for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets 
relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to the Company under the tax consolidation legislation. 
The  funding  amounts  are  determined  by  reference  to  the  amounts  recognised  in  the  wholly-owned  entities’  financial 
statements. 

The  amounts  receivable/payable  under  the  tax  funding  agreement  are  due  upon  receipt  of  the  funding  advice  from  the  head 
entities,  which  are  issued  as  soon  as  practicable  after  the  end  of  each  financial  year.  The  head  entities  may  also  require 
payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax statements. The funding amounts are recognised as 
current intercompany receivables or payments. 

 (f)  Franking account 

An amount of $16.7 million (30 June 2013: $19.1 million) is held as franking credits in the Company. Refer note 23(c).

3 Includes derivatives payable of $1.4 million (30 June 2013: $0.3 million). Refer note 24(d) - Fair value measurements. 

 (a)  Derivative financial instruments 

The  Company  is  party  to  derivative  financial  instruments  in  the  normal  course  of  business  in  order  to  hedge  exposure  to 
fluctuations in interest rates in accordance with the Company’s financial risk management policies (refer to note 24 - Financial 
Risk Management). The gain or loss from remeasuring is transferred to the profit and loss when the hedge is ineffective. 

Interest rate swap contracts - cash flow hedges 

The  “Multi-Option’  bank  facility  for  the  Company  bears  an  average  variable  interest  rate  of  7.80%  (including  line  and  facility 
fees). 

It  is  policy  to  protect  part  of  the  Bilateral  Multi  Option  Facility  of  $155  million  from  exposure  to  fluctuating  interest  rates. 
Accordingly, the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts under which it is obliged to receive interest at variable 
rates and to pay interest at fixed rates. Interest payments for interest rate swaps are net settled every 30 days. 

The interest rate swap contract in place is referred to in the table below:

The Company's primary banking facility with ANZ as at 30 June 2014 was $155 million (inclusive of working capital facility and 
bank guarantees) and matures on 1 September 2016 (30 June 2013: $110 million). 

As  at  30  June  2014  the  facility  was  drawn  exclusive  of  bank  guarantees  at  $69.1  million  (30  June  2013:  $70.0  million).  Bank 
guarantees  issued  total  $11.0  million  (30  June  2013:  $9.7  million).  The  bank  guarantees  are  also  disclosed  in  note  26 -  
Contingencies. 

No restrictions have been imposed on this facility by the financier during the year ending 30 June 2014 and drawdowns continue 
to be made in the ordinary course of business. All covenants under the facility were met within the required timeframes during 
the year. 

Interest is payable based on a margin over bank bill swap rate. The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to fix the 
interest rate at 3.5% (excluding the margin and line fees applicable under the loan agreement) on $70 million of borrowings. 
Refer to note 18(a) - Derivative financial instruments. The swap contract matures on 9 June 2015. During the financial year the 
Company entered into a $90 million swap at 3.69% which will commence on 9 June 2015 and will remain in place for 3 years. 

The fair value of non-current borrowings and the bank guarantees equals their carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is 
not significant. 

 (b)  Assets pledged as security 

The  facility  is  secured  by  registered  mortgage  over  the  majority  of  the  Company’s  property  inventories.  The  facility  is  also 
secured by mortgage debentures over all assets and undertakings of Villa World Limited and all 100% owned subsidiaries. The 
carrying amounts of assets pledged as security for current and non-current borrowings are:

 (c)  Amounts not expected to be settled within 12 months 

The  current  provision  for  employee  benefits  includes  accrued  annual  leave  and  long  service  leave.  For  long  service  leave  it 
includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service. The long service leave 
provision of $82,804 (30 June 2013: $94,456) is classified as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to 
defer  settlement  for  this  obligation.  The  non-current  long  service  leave  provision  covers  conditional  entitlements  where 
employees have not completed their required period of service, adjusted for the probability of likely realisation. 

 (d)  Legal claim 

Home warranty claim - Thornleigh 

A  claim  of  $6.78  million  was  made  against  the  Company  in  respect  of  damages  regarding  project  development  defects, 
concerning a development in Thornleigh, NSW, known as Wild Ash Grove. This was first disclosed in detail in the annual report 
for the year ended 30 June 2010 as a contingent liability. 

A Court-appointed Referee has determined that the Company is liable for $2,687,938. There are also likely to be costs orders 
made against the Company by the Court. The Company intends to challenge certain aspects of the Referee’s determination at a 
Court “adoption hearing” likely to be held in December 2014. 

Provisions  for  the  home  warranty  claim  have  been  raised  in  the  balance  sheet  based  on  best  estimates.  Factors  taken  into 
account include the impact of the Referee’s determination referred to above, potential costs orders, and alternative potential 
outcomes  of  the  Court  adoption  hearing.  Estimating  this  provision  requires  the  exercise  of  significant  judgement  and  it  is 
therefore possible that actual amounts may differ from this estimate. The information in relation to provisions usually required 
by  AASB137  Provisions,  Contingent  Liability  and  Contingent  Assets  is  not  disclosed  on  the  grounds  that  it  is  expected  to 
prejudice the outcome of the potential claim.

1 On 18 September 2013, Villa World Limited announced it had completed a fully underwritten institutional placement to raise $27.2 million. The 
placement was completed at an issue price of $1.60 per share, representing a 3.9% discount to the closing price of the Company's shares on 16 
September 2013 and a 5.1% discount to the volume weighted average price for the five trading days prior to the announcement of the placement. 

2 The record date for the share purchase plan was 17 September 2013. The  share purchase plan was offered at the same price per share as the 
institutional placement. 

 (a)  Ordinary shares 

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to 
the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in 
person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. Ordinary shares have no par value 
and Villa World Limited does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

 (b)  Options 

Information relating to the Company, including details of options issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year, is set 
out in the Remuneration report on page 19 and note 29 - Share-based payments. 

 (c)  Capital risk management 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern, continue to provide 
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of 
capital.  Consistent  with  others  in  the  industry,  the  Company  monitors  capital  on  the  basis  of  the  gearing  ratio.  This  ratio  is 
calculated  as  total  debt  divided  by  total  tangible  assets  adjusted  for  cash  on  hand.  Total  debt  is  calculated  as  borrowings 
(including “interest bearing liabilities” and “other financial commitments” as shown in the balance sheet). Total tangible assets 
are calculated as total assets less intangible assets. 

The Company's policy is to continue to manage debt levels and maintain the gearing ratio between 15% and 35%. As at 30 June 
2014, the gearing ratio was 18.7% (30 June 2013: 24.4%). 

The Company has complied with the financial covenants of its borrowing facilities during the 2014 and 2013 reporting periods.

The  profits  reserve  represents  opening  retained  profits  and  current  year  profits  transferred  to  a  reserve  to  preserve  the 
characteristic as  a  profit and  not  appropriate against prior  year accumulated losses.  Any  such  profits  are available  to  enable 
payment of franked dividends in the future should the Directors declare by resolution. The accumulated losses were generated 
by Villa World Trust, which held investment property assets and was wound up in June 2012. 

 (ii)  Cash flow hedges 

The hedging reserve is used to record gains or losses on a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge that are recognised in other 
comprehensive  income,  as  described  in  note  1(p).  Amounts  are  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  when  the  associated  hedged 
transaction affects profit or loss (for instance when the forecast transaction that is hedged takes place). 

 (iii)  Share-based payments 

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the fair value of options issued to KMPs and executives. Refer note 29 - 
Share-based payments.

 24  Financial risk management 

The  Company’s  activities  are  exposed  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks  which  include  market  risk  (including  interest  rate  risk), 
credit  risk and  liquidity  risk. It is  the  responsibility  of  the  Board and  management  to  ensure  that adequate  risk  identification, 
assessment and mitigation practices are in place for the effective oversight and management of these risks. 

The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets, is managed centrally to 
ensure alignment of financial risk management with corporate objectives and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the 
financial performance of the Company. 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are 
exclusively  used  for  hedging  purposes,  i.e.  not  as  trading  or  other  speculative  instruments.  The  Company  uses  different 
methods  to  measure  different  types  of  risk  to  which  it  is  exposed.  These  methods  include  sensitivity  analysis  in  the  case  of 
interest rate risk, aging analysis for credit risk. 

Financial risk management is carried out by the finance department under policies approved by the Board. The Board provides 
written principles for overall risk management as well as written policies covering specific items, such as mitigating interest 
rate and credit risks, use of derivative financial instruments and investing excess liquidity. 

 (a)  Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability will fluctuate because of 
changes in market prices. Market risk comprises price risk and interest rate risk. 

 (i)  Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk 

The Company does not have exposure to equity investments publicly traded on the ASX. The Company’s main interest rate risk 
arises from long term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The 
Company policy is to maintain a minimum of $70 million of its borrowings fixed by way of interest rate swaps. During the current 
and prior financial years, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in Australian dollars. 

As at the end of the reporting period, the Company had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts 
outstanding:

Financial Risk Management (continued) 

An analysis by maturities is provided in note 24(c) below. 

V I L L A   W O R L D   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 4   / / P 5 4

The Company manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps 
have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, the Company raises long-term 
borrowings at floating  rates  and swaps  them into fixed  rates that are  lower  than  those  available  if the  Company  borrowed at 
fixed rates directly. Under the interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with other parties to exchange at specified intervals the 
difference  between  fixed  contract  rates  and  floating  rate  interest  amounts  calculated  by  reference  to  the  agreed  notional 
principal amounts. 

Group sensitivity 

At  30  June  2014,  if  interest  rates  had  changed  by  -/+  25  basis  points  from  the  year  end  rates  with  all  other  variables  held 
constant, post-tax profits for the year, would have been $0.03 million lower/higher (30 June 2013: $0.50 million lower/higher), 
mainly  as  a  result  of  higher/lower  interest  expense  from  interest  bearing  liabilities.  Other  components  of  equity  would  have 
been $0.8 million lower/higher (2013: $0.3 million lower/higher) mainly as a result of an increase/decrease in the fair value of 
the cash flow hedges of borrowings. 

 (b)  Credit risk 

Credit  risk  is  managed  on  a  consolidated  basis.  Credit  risk  arises  from  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  derivative  financial 
instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, 
including  outstanding  receivables  and  committed  transactions.  For  banks  and  financial  institutions,  only  independently  rated 
parties with a minimum rating of “AA-” are accepted. 

If customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses 
the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. 

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised on the 
table below.

*  Group 1 - This group of receivables is primarily from the sale of house and land packages and land only. 

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it 
has  entered  into  with  the  consolidated  entity. The Company’s assets  are  primarily  investment and  development properties,  it 
has limited exposure to credit risks. 

The  Company  has  no  significant  concentrations  of  credit  risk  for  trade  receivables.  Trade  receivable  balances  and  the  credit 
quality  of  trade  debtors  are  consistently  monitored  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Ongoing  checks  are  performed  by  management  to 
ensure  that  settlement  terms  detailed  in  individual  contracts  are  adhered  to.  The  Company  does  not  pass  clear  title  to 
properties sold until they have been paid in full. 

The Company’s borrowings are concentrated to a single credit provider being the Australian and New Zealand Banking Group. 
The  Board  have  considered  this  risk  and  believes  that  the  financial  benefit  obtained  from  using  a  single  AA-  rated  credit 
provider outweighs any exposure to concentration risk. 

The  credit  risk  associated  with  receivables  from  joint  venture  entities  is  monitored  through  management’s  review  of  project 
feasibilities and the Company’s ongoing involvement in the operations of those entities. 

 (c)  Liquidity risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  an  entity  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting  obligations  associated  with  financial  liabilities. 
Prudent  liquidity  risk  management  implies  maintaining  sufficient  cash  and  the  availability  of  funding  through  an  adequate 
amount of committed credit facilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash 
flows. 

The Company is reliant on the availability of the financing facilities made available to it by its external provider.

The  Company  is  party  to  derivative  financial  instruments  in  the  normal  course  of  business  in  order  to  hedge  exposure  to 
fluctuations  in  interest  rates  in  accordance  with  the  Company's  financial  risk  management  policies.  The  gain  or  loss  from 
remeasuring is transferred to the profit and loss when the hedge is ineffective.

The  "Multi-Option"  bank  facility  for  the  Company  bears  an  average  variable  interest  rate  of  7.80%  (including  line  and  facility 
fees). 

It  is  policy  to  protect  part  of  the  Bilateral  Multi  Option  Facility  of  $155  million  from  exposure  to  fluctuating  interest  rates. 
Accordingly the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts under which it is obliged to receive interest at variable 
rates and to pay interest at fixed rates. Interest payments for interest rate swaps are net settled every 30 days. 

For the year ended 30 June 2014, the amount hedged remains at $70 million and is due to expire on 9 June 2015. During the 
financial  year  the  Company  entered  into  a  $90  million  swap  at  3.69%  which  will  commence  on  9  June  2015.  At  balance  date 
these contracts were liabilities with a fair value of $2.0 million (30 June 2013: $0.9 million).

The  gain  or  loss  from  remeasuring  the  hedging  instruments  at  fair  value  is  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  and 
deferred in equity in the hedging reserve, to the extent that the hedge is effective. There is no ineffectiveness for the year ended 
30 June 2014. 

The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the entity would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the 
balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates, forward interest yield curves and the current creditworthiness of 
the swap counterparties. The fair value of interest rate swaps are calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash 
flows. 

The  carrying  value  of  trade  receivables  and  payables  are  assumed  to  approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short  term 
nature.  The  fair  value  of  non-current  borrowings  and  the  bank  guarantees  equals  their  carrying  amount,  as  their  impact  of 
discounting is not significant. 

Fair value hierarchy 

All  financial  instruments  for  which  fair  value  is  recognised  or  disclosed  are  categorised  within  the  fair  value  hierarchy, 
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: 

 (a) 
 (b) 

 (c)   

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) 
inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
 (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and 
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3). 

Valuation techniques 

The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  that  are not  traded  in  an  active  market  (for  example,  over -the-counter  derivatives)  is 
determined  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.  The  Company  has  determined  that  all  significant  inputs 
required to fair value an instrument are observable, and therefore the instrument is included in level 2. 

The  following  summarises  the  major  methods  and  assumptions  used  in  estimating  the  fair  values  of  financial  instruments 
reflected in the tables:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

KMP disclosures (continued) 

The Board also approved the issue of options over ordinary shares in Villa World Limited to other KMPs and staff. As at 30 June 
2014, 4.0 million options have been issued in total to KMPs. Under the terms of the options granted to date the options will only 
vest  if  the  participating  KMPs  continue  their  respective  service  agreements  with  the  Company  for  three  years  from the grant 
date. 

The assessed fair value of the options as at the grant date of 26 July 2013, is 10 cents per option. The fair value at grant date is 
independently determined using a Binomial Option Price Valuation Model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of 
the  option,  the  impact  of  dilution,  the  share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share,  the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. 

The model inputs for options granted include: 

options are granted for no consideration and vested options are exercisable for a period of six months after vesting 
exercise price: $1.25 

(i) 
(ii) 
(iii)  grant date: 26 July 2013 
(iv)  expiry date: 26 January 2017 
(v) 
share price at grant date: $1.25 
(vi)  expected price volatility of shares: 25% 
(vii)  expected dividend yield: 9% 
(viii)  risk free rate: 2.57% 

The volatility assumption is representative of the level of uncertainty expected in the movements of the share price over the life 
of the option. The historic volatility of the market price of the Company’s share and the mean reversion tendency of volatilities 
are the two factors which are assessed when determining the expected volatility. 

Set out below is a summary of the terms and conditions of each grant of options to KMPs under the Option Plan which will effect 
remuneration in the future reporting period:

 (c)  Transactions with KMPs 

From time to time, KMPs of the Company may purchase goods from the company. These purchases are on the same terms and 
conditions as those entered into by other Company employees and are domestic in nature. 

During the year, Paulene Henderson acquired a dwelling from Villa World Developments Pty Ltd. The amount of this transaction 
was  $587,000  after  a  2.5%  discount  to  market  prices.  This  sale  was  within  a  normal  employee  relationship  on  terms  and 
conditions no more favourable than those which it is reasonable to expect would have been adopted if dealing with a Company 
employee in the same circumstances. 

 (d)  Loans to KMPs 

For the financial year ended 30 June 2014, there were no loans to KMPs. 

 26  Contingencies 

 (i)  Estimates of material amounts of contingent liabilities not provided for in the financial report 

The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify certain employees and former employees against all liabilities that may 
arise as a result of any claims against them by third parties as a result of the Company’s building activities. It is impractical to 
estimate the amount that may arise from these arrangements. 

A  controlled  entity  has  contractual  arrangements  that  provide  for  liquidated  damages  under  certain  circumstances.  It  is 
impractical to estimate the amount of any liability that may arise from these arrangements. 

The Company has provided bank guarantees to the total of $11.0 million (30 June 2013: $9.7 million) to authorities and councils 
in relation to certain works to be undertaken or maintained or in support of contractual commitments. 

 (ii)  Estimates of material amount of contingent liabilities not provided for in the financial report 

Silverstone, Tweed Heads 

On 25 September 2013, Villa World Developments Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Villa World Limited)(Villa World) was served with legal 
proceedings  commenced  in  the  Federal  Court  of  Australia  in  relation  to  alleged  defects  at  a  residential  building  known  as 
Silverstone, in Tweed Heads, New South Wales. The building was completed in 2009 comprising 27 units.

Contingencies (continued) 

V I L L A   W O R L D   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 4   / / P 5 8

The proceedings have been commenced by the Owners Corporation for the building, and by unit owners. No claim amount has 
been specified. 

This matter is complex and has been the subject of ongoing investigations by Villa World, and was included as a provision and 
contingent liability in Villa World’s Financial Statements for the financial years ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2013 and the 
current  year.  Villa  World  is  defending  the  proceedings,  and  has  also  commenced  cross-claims  against  certain  other  parties 
seeking contribution and/or indemnity for any potential liability. The potential liability arising from this matter cannot presently 
be reliably estimated, and is therefore identified as a contingent liability. 

Provisions have been raised in the balance sheet based on best estimates of the ongoing costs (as opposed to the potential claim 
amount) to be incurred in progressing this investigation and legal proceedings. Estimating this provision requires the exercise 
of significant judgement and it is therefore possible that actual amounts may differ from this estimate. 

The information in relation to provisions usually required by AASB137 Provisions, Contingent Liability and Contingent Assets is 
not disclosed on the grounds that it is expected to prejudice the outcome of the potential litigation. 

 (iii)  Contingent liabilities in respect of other entities 

The Company has provided guarantees in respect of the loan facility for the Eynesbury joint venture. The special conditions of 
the  debt  facility  limit  the  maximum  principal  amount  recoverable  from  the  Company  to  50%  of  the  principal  outstanding, 
interest and reasonable costs. As at 30 June 2014, the Eynesbury facility (at 100%) was drawn to $10 million and $0.3 million of 
bank guarantees were issued (30 June 2013: $27 million and $0.8 million bank guarantee). 

 27  Commitments 

 (a)  Capital commitments 

Villa World Developments Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Villa World Limited, assumed certain contractual obligations in 
conjunction with the execution of Put and Call Option Agreements (the Agreements) in relation to the acquisition of individual 
subdivided lots in property developments to the north of Brisbane and in Victoria. 

The call option gives Villa World Developments Pty Ltd (or a third party) the option to purchase the lot(s) at a nominated price by 
a sunset date. The put option gives the vendor the right to sell to the Company at a nominated price on expiry of the call option 
sunset  date.  The  potential  total  commitments  remaining  under  the  Agreements  are  $38.5  million.  The  commitments  are 
crystallised  on  registration  of  the  land  by  the  vendor  and  will  be  made  available  on  a  stage  by  stage  basis.  However,  the 
Agreements  are  severable  by  development  stage  and  the  commitments  may  be  less  than  the  total  commitments  under  the 
Agreements as outlined above. 

At 30 June 2013, the commitments were $43.8 million. Of this balance $30.4 million crystallised, resulting in a balance of $13.4 
million. During the year additional put and call arrangements have been entered into totalling $25.1 million. Commitments at 30 
June 2014 totalled $38.5 million. 

 (b)  Lease commitments 

 (i)  Non-cancellable operating leases 

The  Company  has  a  lease  on  office  space  under  a  non-cancellable  operating  lease  expiring  8  January  2019.  The  lease  has 
varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal rights. On renewal, the terms of the lease are renegotiated. 

Commitments for minimum lease payments in relation to non-cancellable operating leases 
are payable as follows: 
Within one year 
Later than one year but not later than five years

The Company operates long term incentives (“LTIs”) in the form of a Villa World Limited Option Plan, approved by shareholders 
at the Company’s AGM on 30 October 2013. For options that have been issued to date, the options vest at the completion of three 
years’  service  from  the  grant  date.  Under  the  terms  of  the  options  granted  to  date,  if  the  participating  employee  leaves  the 
Company before the vesting date, options are cancelled, although the Board may waive this restriction at its discretion. 

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Binomial Option Price Valuation Model that takes into account 
the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the 
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. 

The volatility assumption is representative of the level of uncertainty expected in the movements of the share price over the life 
of the option. The historic volatility of the market price of the Company’s shares and the mean reversion tendency of volatilities 
are the two factors which are assessed when determining the expected volatility.

Final Dividend 

V I L L A   W O R L D   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 4   / / P 6 0

On 26 August 2014 the Board declared a fully franked final dividend of 9.0 cents per share. The ex-dividend date is 1 September 
2014 and the record date for this dividend is 3 September 2014. Payment will be made on 30 September 2014. 

As at 30 June 2014, an amount of $16.7 million is held as franking credits in the Company. 

Investment in the Eynesbury Joint Venture 

As previously disclosed, the Company has entered into unconditional contracts for the sale of the Eynesbury project (in which 
the Company holds a 50% interest). On 27 June the first tranche (comprising part of the land and the golf course business) was 
completed at a sale price of $30 million plus GST. 

As at 30 June 2014 the equity accounted investment in the Eynesbury Joint Venture was $18.0 million. On 7 July 2014, $9 million 
was repaid to each Joint Venture partner, the investment reducing to $9 million. 

Acquisition - Victoria 

On  14  July  2014,  Villa  World  Limited  announced  that  it  had  entered  into  Put  &  Call  Option  in  relation  to  a  site  located  at 
Greenvale in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, well serviced by key infrastructure and amenities. 

The land owner is required to deliver completed vacant lots, for the Company to construct dwellings and sell house and land 
packages.  The  transaction  totals  $26.2  million  (including  GST)  and  is  to  be  paid  progressively  to  the  land  owner  from  the 
settlement proceeds of the house and land sales. 

The site is expected to yield approximately 131 residential lots, comprising traditional Villa World housing designs on a variety 
of lot sizes.

Management has determined the segments based on the reports reviewed by the executive committee that are used to make 
strategic decisions. 

The Company and its controlled entities develop and sell residential land and buildings predominately in Queensland, New 
South Wales and Victoria. The individual operating segments of each geographical area have been aggregated on the basis that 
they possess similar economic characteristics and are similar in nature of the product and production processes. 

The committee considers the business from both a product, and within Australia, a geographical perspective and has identified 
two reportable segments: 

–
–

 Property development and construction - Queensland and New South Wales. 
 Property development - Victoria. 

The executive team considers a range of information relating to the reportable segments including: 

–
–
–

 Historical results of the segment, using both revenue and gross margin. 
 Future forecasts of the segment for the remainder of the year. 
 Key risks and opportunities facing the segments.

Segment information (continued)   

 (b)  Segment information provided to the strategic executive committee 

 (i)  Segment Revenue 

The  revenue  from  external  parties  reported  to  the  executive  committee  is  measured  in  a  manner  consistent  with  that  in  the 
income statements. Revenues from external customers are derived from the sale of residential house and land products. 

 (ii)  Segment gross margin 

The  executive  committee  assesses  the  performance  of  the  operating  segments  based  on  a  measure  of  gross  margin.  This 
measurement  basis  consists  of  revenue  less  land,  development,  construction  and  sundry  costs.  It  excludes  the  effects  of 
non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments such as fair value impairments on inventory and other assets. 

The segment information provided to the executive committee for the reportable segments for the year ended 30 June 2014 is

Auditor’s Independence Declaration to the Directors of Villa World

Directors' responsibility 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 controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors 
also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that

Auditor's responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our 
audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with 
relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in 
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment 
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making 
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and 
fair presentation of the financial report 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 entity's 
internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and 
the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall 
presentation of the financial report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our audit opinion. 

Independence 

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001.  We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a 
copy of which is included in the directors’ report.
