CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to be able to report that the Company has made a profit for the third year in a row. The profit for the 2014 / 2015 year was $3.62 million – up from $2.85 million last year.

With the progress made in the last three years our developments are now returning consistent profits and the valuations of the Churchill Centre North and Churchill Centre South developments both increased substantially.

A major milestone occurred this year when the Company entered into a Joint Venture to develop 50 hectares of residential land in Mt Barker, which is situated 25 minutes south east from Adelaide’s CBD. This is the Company’s first move away from the commercial development area in the Adelaide market and is indicative of the Company now being in a position to broaden our base and move into new areas.

Another milestone occurred when the Company gained a major international partner when Oriental University City (H.K) Holdings (OUC) acquired a 14.9% holding in the Company by purchasing 61 million shares on-market. Through further on-market purchases and a Share Subscription Agreement, OUC will move to 19.9% by the end of November this year and nominate one Director to the Board. With this new international connection Axiom will be looking for development opportunities both within Australia and internationally.

Once again this year the Company has been admirably served by Managing Director, Ben Laurance, General Manager, Paul Rouvray and Chief Financial Officer, Paul Santinon. Independent Director John Howe joins me in congratulating our team on making the 2014 / 2015 financial year a very successful one for the Company.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW

Dear Shareholder,

This past financial year has delivered another outstanding result for the Company, driven largely from the Group’s adherence to the strong set of strategic principles it adopted several years ago to guide the future growth of the business.

As outlined in the Chairman’s report, the Company delivered a headline profit result of $3.62 million for the financial year, an increase of $0.77 million from last years’ profit which is an improvement of 27%. What is equally pleasing in this year’s result is the improvement in operating cashflow being generated from the rental revenue received from the Group’s holdings in its Churchill North (50%) and Churchill South (100%) investments, as well as the resulting balance sheet increase in net equity value in these investments. The retail sector, particularly the subregional shopping centre sub-sector, continues to be an attractive asset class, evidenced by the continuing compression in yields across the board, and the Group’s investments in this sector are benefiting from this performance.

Current developments

The Group’s current pipeline of properties will provide it with a strong portfolio of development and investment opportunities over the short, medium and longer term. There are several future stages yet to be developed on both the Churchill North and South Centres, as well as the Group reviewing several options for its wholly owned WorldPark:01 development site in Keswick S.A.

Additionally, the recently announced Mt Barker residential opportunity is an exciting project for the Company which is expected to start delivering earnings for the Group in FY 17. Axiom has farmed into a 50% Joint Venture interest in this project alongside the family owners of the land, with Axiom responsible for the delivery of some 500 residential lots over the next 5 – 7 years. This gives the Group an exposure to the fast growing Mt Barker region in South Australia, as well as exposure to the residential broad acre subdivision market.

Share Buyback

This financial year the Group commenced and completed its on-market share buyback program which resulted in the Company purchasing 32.4 million shares at an average of 5.5 cents per share for a total consideration of $1.79 million. The Group remains firmly of the view that its shares are significantly undervalued, and on a risk adjusted basis, the buyback was prudent in the circumstances. The resulting effect of the buyback was an improvement in the NTA per share of the Company from 4.2 cents to 4.9 cents.

Strategic Relationship

This financial year has also delivered a new major shareholder onto the Axiom register, Oriental University City (H.K.) Holdings (“OUC”), a Company listed on the Hong Kong and Chinese Stock Exchanges. We welcome OUC’s investment in Axiom, and we look forward to working closely with OUC on various strategic opportunities.

Future Opportunities

The Group continues to review numerous new opportunities that fit with its core competencies. The year ahead looks promising, and the Company is buoyed by the current state of the property market, its current portfolio of projects, and potential future projects.

Lastly, may I add my ongoing thanks and appreciation to our loyal shareholders for their continued support of the Company. I’d also like to express my sincerest thanks to the Axiom team, its consultants and my fellow Directors, but in particular I’d like to thank our General Manager, Paul Rouvray and CFO Paul Santinon, for their dedication and determination over the past year. Without their support and application to the business the Company would not have delivered the result that it has this year.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Churchill Centre (formerly “Islington Railyards”)

The Churchill Centre project is the Company’s flagship development, and consists of two separate large tracts of land of 3 hectares (South) and 18 hectares (North) for a total of 21 hectares, strategically located on Churchill Rd, Kilburn in the inner northwest suburbs of Adelaide, 6kms from the CBD. Axiom has “ownership” of the land under a 97 year ground lease with the South Australian Government. The master plan for the two sites will result in a major retail destination servicing the needs of Adelaide’s inner north western suburbs. The master plan incorporates a mix of large format retail and hardware tenancies, alongside a major supermarket, sub-regional shopping centre, Costco and a mix of other exciting retail opportunities.

The Company considers this development as a key component to the success of the Company, being a major plank of the development and investment portfolio over the short to medium term.

The two distinct sites are referred to as Churchill Centre North and Churchill Centre South:

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Churchill Centre North:

Background:

The Churchill Centre North component of this project sits on 18 hectares of land, and comprises a major subregional shopping centre, consisting of a 5,500 sq.m. Coles supermarket, a 5,400 sq.m. Kmart Discount Department Store, several other mini-major retailers and approximately 55 specialty shops. The Centre also incorporates a Coles service station alongside several other pad sites of fast food outlets incorporating McDonalds and KFC restaurants, and other strategic retailing uses, including Repco and a Kmart Tyre and Auto centre. In total, this northern stage is designed to incorporate in excess of 40,000 sqm of quality destination retail.

The Centre has been opened and trading since May 2014. Costco opened during the financial year, with trading commencing in November 2014. This is South Australia’s first Costco store.

Axiom has a 50% ownership interest in Churchill Centre North after agreeing a Joint Venture arrangement in October 2012 with Southern Cross Equity Group, a syndicate of Adelaide based investors who purchased a 50% share in the Centre by providing an equity investment of $11.25m to the development.

As previously stated Axiom’s intention is to continue to own its 50% share of the Churchill Centre North to provide a stable and sustainable cashflow for the Company through rental revenue received. The Centre also contributes substantially to the Group’s balance sheet through its net equity investment in the Centre.

==> picture [512 x 148] intentionally omitted <==

Churchill Centre North as at November 2014

Stage 2, Churchill Centre North:

During the year the Group announced it had agreed and documented a 10-year lease agreement with German retailer Aldi to construct one of their first South Australian supermarkets. This store will anchor Stage 2 of the Churchill Centre North shopping centre, which is expected to add another 2,500 sq.m of retail tenancies. Construction commenced subsequent to year end, with a target completion date at the end of 2015.

Churchill Centre North still has another (approximately) 3 hectares of surplus land available for future development. The Company and its partner are working on various schemes to fully develop the land and has had some strong interest from various national and international retailers and other groups to anchor subsequent stages of the Centre and occupy space in the development.

Churchill Centre South:

The balance of the southern site still held by the Group as a 100% interest consists of a 3 hectare parcel of land which has an approval to develop up to 7,000 sq.m. of mixed use retail. During the year, the Company completed construction of the first stage large format retail precinct following the successful pre-commitment of 5,500 sq.m of retail space. This first stage is fully let to US retailer Savers, Auto barn and Pet Barn and opened for trading in December 2014 with Beacon Lighting subsequently opening in March 2015.

The Company intends to retain ownership of its 100% share of this development to generate a stable, recurring income stream through rental income.

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

During the year, and following completion of this Stage of the development, the asset became reclassified on the Company’s books as an investment property which has led to the Company booking a profit of $4.91 million.

The next Stage of this South project comprises another 2,000 sq.m (approx.) of mixed use retail which has been pre-committed through the year and construction commenced in May 2015. Major tenants in this precinct include national playcentre operator “Croc’s PlayCafe” and German power tools manufacturer Stihl.

Subsequent to year end, the Company agreed a long term ground lease over a 2,000 sq.m pad site with Hungry Jack’s. Under the terms of the agreement, Hungry Jack’s will construct their own fast food restaurant on the land which is sub-leased from the Company with fixed annual reviews.

Churchill Centre South as at June 2015

World Park 01, Keswick SA

Worldpark:01 is a campus-style, green office park on the fringe of the Adelaide CBD with a master plan approval to construct 3 boutique office buildings. The first of these buildings, the Stage One “Coffey” Building was successfully pre-committed, developed and delivered in October 2010 to a 5 star green Star rating, and subsequently sold for $46m in December 2010.

Axiom retains ownership of the balance of the land of approximately 2 hectares and is actively marketing and promoting it to secure a pre-commitment sufficient to commence construction of the next stage of the project. The development provides a unique boutique office solution with abundant car-parking in Adelaide’s fringe CBD market, and has a current approval to develop a further 24,000 sq.m over multiple buildings.

During the year the Company continued to generate income from the site through temporary car-parking revenue, sufficient to minimize holding costs on the site.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

MT BARKER

During the year the Company secured a new opportunity in Mt Barker, South Australia, one of SA’s fastest growing regions. The Company executed a Joint Venture Agreement with the family land owners to develop the 50 hectare land parcel into approximately 500 residential lots. This broad acre subdivision opportunity gives the Company exposure to the residential sector, and is expected to start contributing to earnings in FY 17. Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, Axiom is responsible for the delivery and management of the entire project, and will be entitled to share in the net proceeds of the residential sales.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Given the Company is now in a much stronger financial position, it has the resources and capability to replenish its development pipeline with new projects. To that end, the Company is reviewing a number of exciting new property opportunities around Australia. The Company remains optimistic that several of these projects will provide the Company with a future development pipeline that will provide the Company with strong earnings and growth.

END OF REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

During the financial year there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the Group other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Group in future financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Consolidated Entity. Therefore, this information has not been presented in this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION

The Consolidated Entity is not subject to any significant environmental legislation.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Company has agreed to indemnify all of the Directors of the Company for any liabilities to another person (other than the Company or related body corporate) that may arise from their position as Directors of the Company and its controlled entities, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT

This report, which forms part of the directors’ report, outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the key management personnel of Axiom Properties Limited (the “Company”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2015. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel (“KMP”) who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company, and includes the top executives of the Parent and the Group receiving the highest remuneration.

Key Management Personnel

(i) Directors

Ian Laurance (Non-Executive Chairman) Ben Laurance (Managing Director) John Howe (Non-Executive Director)

(ii) Executives

Paul Rouvray (General Manager) Paul Santinon (Company Secretary)

The Company Secretary is deemed to be an Executive by virtue of being an officer of the company. The role performed by the Company Secretary does not meet the definition of Key Management Personnel under AASB 124; hence the officer has been excluded from the Key Management Personnel disclosures in the financial report.

Remuneration Philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of the Directors and executives. The philosophy of the Company in determining remuneration levels is to:

  • Set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees; and

  • Link executive rewards to shareholder value creation.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, the Managing Director and the executive team. The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors and executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with an overall objective of ensuring maximum shareholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Company’s Remuneration Policies

The Board, subject to the approval of shareholders in the Annual General Meeting, sets the remuneration level of the non-executive members of the Board. Remuneration is set according to the skills, experience and length of service of each Director. Remuneration of the Non-Executive Chairman is determined by the Board of Directors and is also determined by the skills, experience and length of service of the Non-Executive Chairman. Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed fee and statutory superannuation for services as Directors.

12

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

Company’s Remuneration Policies (continued)

The Company’s Constitution provides that Directors may collectively be paid a fixed sum, not exceeding the aggregate maximum per annum from time to time, as determined by the Company and approved by shareholders. A Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. There is no direct link between remuneration paid to Non-executive Directors and corporate performance such as bonus payments for achievement of certain key performance indicators.

Remuneration for Executive Directors and Senior Managers is based upon a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the Company. The contracts for service between Executive Directors and the Company are on a continuing basis the terms of which are not expected to change. Remuneration packages may include base salary, superannuation, fringe benefits, bonuses and performance rights.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part or those proceedings. The Company was not a party to any such proceedings.

ROUNDING OFF OF AMOUNTS

The amounts contained in this report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest $1,000 (where rounding is applicable) under the option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 98/100. The Company is an entity to which the Class Order applies.

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

Section 307(C) of the Corporations Act 2001 requires the Company’s auditors, HLB Mann Judd, to provide the Directors of the Company with an Independence Declaration in relation to the audit of the financial report. This Independence Declaration is set out on page 29 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2015.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in Note 26 to the financial statements. The Directors are 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 of the opinion that the services do not compromise the auditor’s independence as all non-audit services have been reviewed to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor and none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in the Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors:

Axiom Properties Limited ( Company ) has established a corporate governance framework, the key features of which are set out in this statement. In establishing its corporate governance framework, the Company has referred to ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations 3rd edition ( Principles & Recommendations ). The Company has followed each recommendation where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for its corporate governance practices. Where the Company's corporate governance practices follow a recommendation, the Board has made appropriate statements reporting on the adoption of the recommendation. In compliance with the "if not, why not" reporting regime, where, after due consideration, the Company's corporate governance practices do not follow a recommendation, the Board has explained it reasons for not following the recommendation and disclosed what, if any, alternative practices the Company has adopted instead of those in the recommendation.

The following governance-related documents can be found on the Company's website at http://www.axiompl.com.au/about-us, under the section marked "Corporate Governance":

The Company reports below on whether it has followed each of the recommendations during the 2015 financial year ( Reporting Period ). The information in this statement is current at 26 August 2015.

Board

Roles and responsibilities of the Board, Company Secretary and Senior Executives (Recommendations: 1.1, 1.4)

The Company has established the functions reserved to the Board, and those delegated to senior executives and has set out these functions in its Board Charter, which is disclosed on the Company’s website.

The Board is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the Company through its key functions of overseeing the management of the Company, providing overall corporate governance of the Company, monitoring the financial performance of the Company, engaging appropriate management commensurate with the Company's structure and objectives, involvement in the development of corporate strategy and performance objectives, and reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management and internal control, codes of conduct and legal compliance.

Senior executives are responsible for supporting the Managing Director and assisting the Managing Director in implementing the running of the general operations and financial business of the Company in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board. Senior executives are responsible for reporting all matters which fall within the Company's materiality thresholds at first instance to the Managing Director or, if the matter concerns the Managing Director, directly to the Chair or the lead independent director, as appropriate.

Under the Board Charter, the Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board in relation to all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. Specific matters for the Company Secretary are set out in the Board Charter.

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Skills, experience, expertise and period of office of each Director (Recommendation: 2.2)

A profile of each Director setting out their skills, experience, expertise and period of office is set out in the Directors' Report on page 5 of the 2015 Annual Report.

The Board reviews the competencies of the existing Board regularly to ensure that its members have the mix of skills, experience, expertise and diversity that will best increase the Board’s effectiveness. The Board is of the view that its current composition represents the mix of sills and diversity for which the Board is looking to achieve in membership of the Board. The Board comprises directors with the following skills and experience that the Board considers to be particularly relevant to the Company: strategic thinking; financial management and analytical skills, experience in business management; risk management knowledge and expertise; fund raising skills; industry knowledge and expertise; people management skills; change management skills and marketing and public relations experience.

Director independence (Recommendations: 2.3, 2.4, 2.5)

The Board does not have a majority of directors who are independent. The Board considers its composition is, and continues to be, appropriate for the Company’s current operations. The Company considers that each of its directors possess the right combination of skills and experience suitable for building the Company. The Board will continue to monitor its composition as the Company’s operations evolve, and will appoint further independent directors if considered appropriate.

The Board considers the independence of directors having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.3 of the Principles & Recommendations and the Company's materiality thresholds and has adopted a Policy on Assessing the Independence of Directors. The Board has agreed on the following guidelines, as set out in the Company's Board Charter for assessing the materiality of matters:

  • Balance sheet items are material if they have a value of more than 10% of pro-forma net asset.

  • Profit and loss items are material if they will have an impact on the current year operating result of 10% or more.

  • Items are also material if they impact on the reputation of the Company, involve a breach of legislation, are outside the ordinary course of business, could affect the Company’s rights to its assets, if accumulated would trigger the quantitative tests, involve a contingent liability that would have a probable effect of 10% or more on balance sheet or profit and loss items, or will have an effect on operations which is likely to result in an increase or decrease in net income or dividend distribution of more than 10%.

Contracts will be considered material if they are outside the ordinary course of business, contain exceptionally onerous provisions in the opinion of the Board, impact on income or distribution in excess of the quantitative tests, there is a likelihood that either party will default, and the default may trigger any of the quantitative or qualitative tests, are essential to the activities of the Company and cannot be replaced, or cannot be replaced without an increase in cost which triggers any of the quantitative tests, contain or trigger change of control provisions, are between or for the benefit of related parties, or otherwise trigger the quantitative tests.

The sole independent director of the Company during the Reporting Period was John Howe. Mr Howe is independent as he is a non-executive director who is not a member of management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of his judgment.

The non-independent directors of the Company during the Reporting Period were Mr Ian Laurance (Chair) and Mr Ben Laurance (Managing Director).

The non-independent Chair of the Board is Mr Ian Laurance. Mr Laurance was an executive Chair, however his role became non-executive on 1 January 2013. Mr Laurance does not satisfy paragraph 2 of the independence criteria set out in Box 2.3 of the Principles & Recommendations.

20

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Director independence (continued)

The Board continues to believe that Mr Laurance is the most appropriate person to Chair the Board because of his industry experience, including as former State Minister for Housing, Tourism and Lands, former Chairman of the Midland Redevelopment Authority, former chair of rare earths company, Arafura Resources Limited and current director a number of not-for-profit boards. The Board (in the absence of Mr Laurance) believes that Mr Laurance makes decisions that are in the best interests of the Company. Mr Howe has been appointed lead independent director to take the role of Chair when Mr Laurance is unable to act as Chair due to any conflict of interest.

The Managing Director is Mr Ben Laurance who is not Chair of the Board.

Board committees

Nomination Committee (Recommendations: 2.1)

The Board has not established a separate Nomination Committee. The role of the Nomination Committee is carried out by the full Board in accordance with the Company’s Nomination Committee Charter. Given the current size and composition of the Board, the Board believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Nomination Committee. Items that are usually required to be discussed by a Nomination Committee are marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required. When the Board convenes as the Nomination Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s Nomination Committee Charter. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Nomination Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.

The full Board did not officially convene in its capacity as a Nomination Committee during the Reporting Period, however nomination-related discussions occurred from time to time during the year as required.

The Board has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the full Board in its capacity as the Nomination Committee. The Company’s Nomination Committee Charter is disclosed on the Company’s website.

Safeguard Integrity in Corporate Reporting (Recommendations: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3)

The Board has not established a separate Audit Committee and accordingly, is not structured in accordance with Recommendation 4.1. Given the size and composition of the Board, the Board believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Audit Committee. Items that are usually required to be discussed by an Audit Committee are marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required. When the Board convenes as the Audit Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s Audit Committee Charter. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Audit Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions. Mr Howe chairs the meeting when the full Board meets in its capacity as the Audit Committee.

The Company has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the full Board in its capacity as the Audit Committee.

Details of director attendance at Audit Committee meetings during the Reporting Period are set out in a table in the Directors’ Report on page 19 of the 2015 Annual Report. The full Board in its capacity as the Audit Committee held 2 meetings during the Reporting Period.

Details of each of the director's qualifications are set out in the Directors' Report on page 5 of the 2015 Annual Report. Each of the Board members considers themselves to be financially literate and have industry knowledge. Furthermore, Board members may seek external advice from the Company’s auditors to assist with financial matters, if required. It should also be noted that the Company’s Chief Financial Officer attends meetings if required to assist the full Board in its capacity as the Audit Committee.

The Company has established a Procedure for the Selection, Appointment and Rotation of its External Auditor. The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external auditor when any vacancy arises, as recommended by the Audit Committee (or its equivalent)

21

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Safeguard Integrity in Corporate Reporting (continued)

Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete independence from the Company through the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant to the Company's business and circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by the Audit Committee (or its equivalent) and any recommendations are made to the Board.

The Company’s Audit Committee Charter and Procedure for Selection, Appointment and Rotation of External Auditor are disclosed on the Company’s website. The Company’s auditor is required to attend the Company’s AGM and is required to answer questions from shareholders relevant to the audit.

Certification of Financial Statements

(Recommendations: 4.2)

The Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer have provided a declaration to the Board in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act and in respect of all financial statements of the Company and its consolidated entities that:

  • the financial records of the Company have been properly maintained;

  • the financial statements comply with appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Company; and

  • have stated to the Board that such declaration is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively.

Remuneration Committee (Recommendations: 8.1, 8.2, 8.3)

The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee. Accordingly, the Remuneration Committee is not structured in accordance with Recommendation 8.1. Given the size and composition of the Company, the Board believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Remuneration Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of Remuneration Committee. Items that are usually required to be discussed by a Remuneration Committee are marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required. When the Board convenes as the Remuneration Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s Remuneration Committee Charter. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Remuneration Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.

The full Board did not officially convene in its capacity as a Remuneration Committee during the Reporting Period, however remuneration -related discussions occurred from time to time during the year as required.

Details of remuneration, including the Company’s policy on remuneration, are contained in the “Remuneration Report” which forms of part of the Directors’ Report and commences on page 13. The Company's policy on remuneration clearly distinguishes the structure of non-executive directors’ remuneration from that of executive directors and senior executives.

Non-executive directors are remunerated at a fixed fee for time, commitment and responsibilities. Remuneration for non-executive directors is not linked to individual performance. From time to time, the Company may grant options to non-executive directors. The grant of options is designed to attract and retain suitably qualified nonexecutive directors.

Executive pay and reward consists of a base salary and long and short performance incentives, based upon length of service, experience and performance of the Company. Short term performance incentives may include cash bonuses. Long term performance incentives may include options granted at the discretion of the Board and subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. The grant of options is designed to recognise and reward efforts as well as to provide additional incentive and may be subject to the successful completion of performance hurdles. Executives are offered a competitive level of base pay at market rates (for comparable companies) and are reviewed annually to ensure market competitiveness.

22

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Remuneration Committee (continued)

There are no termination or retirement benefits for non-executive directors (other than for superannuation).

The Board has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee. The Company's Remuneration Committee Charter includes a statement of the Company's policy on prohibiting transactions in associated products which limit the risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity based remuneration schemes. The Company’s Remuneration Committee Charter is disclosed on the Company’s website.

Performance evaluation

Senior executives (Recommendations: 1.7)

The Managing Director in consultation with the Board reviews the performance of the Senior Executives. The current size and structure of the Company allows the Managing Director to conduct informal evaluation of the Company’s senior executives regularly. Open and regular communication with senior executives allows the Managing Director to ensure that senior executives meet their responsibilities as outlined in their contracts with the Company, and to provide feedback and guidance, particularly where any performance issues are evident. Annually, individual performance may be more formally assessed in conjunction with a remuneration review. As the Company grows, it will review the need for a more formalised approach to senior executive performance evaluation.

During the Reporting Period, a performance evaluation of the Company’s senior executives took place in accordance with the process disclosed above.

Board, its committees and individual directors (Recommendations: 1.6, 2.6)

The Chair evaluates and monitors the performance of the Board on an ongoing regular basis. The Chair meets with each individual director at least annually and also meets with the Board as a whole to discuss performance of directors. Measures against which the performance of the Board and its individual directors are measured include:

  • assessment of the skills, performance and contribution of individual members of the Board;

  • the performance of the Board as a whole;

  • awareness of directors of their responsibilities an duties as directors of the Company and of corporate governance and compliance requirements;

  • awareness of directors of the Company’s strategic direction;

  • understanding by the directors of the Company’s business and the industry and environment in which it operates;

  • avenues for continuing improvement of Board functions and further development of director skill base.

Given the current size and structure of the Company, the performance of the Managing Director is evaluated informally through open and regular communication with the Board during which feedback, guidance and support is provided. In addition, the Managing Director's performance is reviewed by the Board by meeting and discussion annually based on observations and interactions during the previous 12 months.

During the Reporting Period, an evaluation of the Board, individual directors and the Managing Director took place in accordance with the process disclosed above. The Company also provides appropriate opportunities for professional development of directors to develop and maintain their skills and knowledge needed to perform their roles effectively.

The Company’s Process for Performance Evaluation is disclosed on the Company’s website.

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Ethical and responsible decision making

Code of Conduct (Recommendations: 3.1)

The Company has established a Code of Conduct as to the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company's integrity, the practices necessary to take into account its legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of its stakeholders and the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

A summary of the Company’s Code of Conduct is disclosed on the Company’s website.

Diversity (Recommendations: 1.5)

The Company has established a Diversity Policy. However, the policy does not include a requirement for the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. Rather, the policy states that the Board may set measurable objectives that are appropriate for the Company, which will be disclosed if established.

The Board has not set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity as the Board does not consider it practical at this stage to do so. The Board will review its position on establishing measurable objectives as the Company’s circumstances change, and the number of employees and level of activities of the Company increase to a level that the Board considers will enable it to set meaningful and achievable objectives.

There are no women in the organisation. The proportion of women employees in the whole organisation, women in senior executive positions and women on the Board as at the date of this statement are set out in the following table:


table:
**Proportion of women **
Whole organisation 0 out of3 (0%)
Senior Executive positions 0 out of 2(0%)
Board 0 out of3 (0%)

A summary of the Company’s Diversity Policy is disclosed on the Company’s website.

Continuous Disclosure (Recommendations: 5.1)

The Company has established written policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance.

A summary of the Company’s Policy on Continuous Disclosure and Compliance Procedures are disclosed on the Company’s website.

Shareholder Communication (Recommendations: 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4)

The Company has designed a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders, informing shareholders about itself via its website and encouraging shareholder participation at general meetings.

As part of the Company communications policy, the Company also facilitates effective two-way communication with investors and encourages investors to use the Company’s website and to receive and send communications electronically.

The Company’s Investor Relations Policy is disclosed on the Company’s website.

24

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Risk Management (Recommendations: 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4)

The Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy, which sets out the Company's risk profile. Under the policy, the Board is responsible for approving the Company's policies on risk oversight and management and satisfying itself that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control.

Under the policy, the Board delegates day-to-day management of risk to the Managing Director , who is responsible for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing risks. The Managing Director is also responsible for updating the Company's material business risks to reflect any material changes, with the approval of the Board. The Board has not considered it necessary to have a separate risk committee.

In fulfilling the duties of risk management, the Managing Director may have unrestricted access to Company employees, contractors and records and may obtain independent expert advice on any matter they believe appropriate, with the prior approval of the Board.

In addition, the following risk management measures have been adopted by the Board to manage the Company's material business risks:

  • the Board has established authority limits for management, which, if proposed to be exceeded, requires prior Board approval;

  • the Board has adopted a compliance procedure for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the Company's continuous disclosure obligations; and

  • the Board has reviewed its corporate governance manual which contains other policies to assist the Company to establish and maintain its governance practices.

The Company has formalised its approach to risk management by documenting all material business risks in a risk map and allocating ownership for material business risks to the Managing Director and management of individual material business risks to senior management and individuals within the organisation. The risk map is reviewed by management and updated on a quarterly basis and presented to the Board. All risks identified in the risk map are reviewed and assessed by management and the Board at least annually. The Board however does not have an internal audit function.

The categories of risk reported on as part of the Company’s risk management systems are: reputational; strategic; corporate governance; new investment; existing investment control; development projects; sale of investments; finance; operational risk; compliance and regulatory; legal; tax, environmental, economic, social sustainability and personnel.

The Board has required management to design, implement and maintain risk management and internal control systems to manage the Company's material business risks. The Board also requires management to report to it confirming that those risks are being managed effectively. The Board has received a report from management as to the effectiveness of the Company's management of its material business risks for the Reporting Period.

A summary of the Company’s Risk Management Policy is disclosed on the Company’s website.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. The Company is a for-profit entity.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting Axiom Properties Limited and its subsidiaries.

The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale investments and derivative financial instruments, which are measured at fair value. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000) unless otherwise stated under the option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 98/100. The Company is an entity to which the class order applies.

The Company is a listed public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia. The entity’s principal activities are property investment and development.

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2015 In the year ended 30 June 2015, the directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period.

As a result of this review, the directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2015. As a result of this review the directors have determined that there is no material impact, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(c) Statement of compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 26 August 2015.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

(d) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in with the investee; and

  • has the ability to its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassess whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights if an investee, it has the power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

  • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholder meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount paid by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

33

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Basis of consolidation (continued)

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between:

  • The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and

  • The previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.

All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by the applicable AASBs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 139, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

(e) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements:

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using whatever model the valuer deems appropriate in the circumstances.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that sufficient future tax profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits over the next two years together with future tax planning strategies.

Recoverability of capitalised development costs

The Group estimates the recoverability of its capitalised development costs by reference to its project feasibilities and supporting independent valuations. Judgement is required in estimating forecast profitability of projects and market assumptions.

Valuation of rights

The Group estimates the expense incurred when it issues performance rights to its Directors and Employees under its PRP (refer Note 17).

34

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(e) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

Valuation of investment properties

Investment properties are measured at fair value at each balance date with any gains and losses arising from a change in fair value recognised in profit or loss. The Group relies upon independent valuations using either the capitalisation or discounted cashflow method and judgement is required in estimating the inputs to the model.

(f) Going concern

The Directors have presented the financial statements on the basis that the Group will continue as a going concern. The Managing Director’s report and the Chairman’s Statement outline the actions that have been taken and results achieved within the past year in respect to improving the Group’s financial position and mitigating risks and uncertainties facing the Group.

The Directors have examined significant areas of possible financial risk and have satisfied themselves that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. After due consideration the Board believes it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

(g) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Axiom Properties Limited.

(h) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised on an accruals basis at 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. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

(ii) Rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

(iii) Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

35

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(h) Revenue Recognition (continued)

(iv) Dividends

Revenue is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. However the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence.

(v) Rental income

Rental income from investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rental income is recognised as income in the periods in which it is earned. Lease incentives granted are recognised as a reduction as rental income received on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the end of the lease term.

(i) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except those that relate to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets where the borrowing cost is added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use of sale.

(j) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the general policy on borrowing costs - refer Note 1(i).

Finance leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognized as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

(k) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary difference and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

36

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(k) Income tax (continued)

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

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

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

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

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

37

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(l) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

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

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

(m) Impairment of assets

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount.

38

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(m) Impairment of assets (continued)

That increased amount cannot 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 profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(o) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.

Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income 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 the statement of comprehensive income.

39

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(p) Inventories

Costs relating to the acquisition and development of land are capitalised and carried forward at cost, as inventories. As developed lots are settled the associated value of inventories is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Profits are brought to account on the contract of sale settlement.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

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

(q) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the noncurrent asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of the disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the Statement of Financial Position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(r) Derivative financial instruments and hedging

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to hedge its risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value. The fair value of interest rate swap constraints is determined by reference to market values from similar instruments. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to net profit or loss for the year.

The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to market values for similar instruments.

For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

  • Fair value hedges when they hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; and

  • Cash flow hedges when they hedge exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable either to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or to a forecast transaction.

Hedges that meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

(i) Fair value hedges

Fair value hedges are hedges of the Group’s exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or firm commitment, that is attributable to a particular risk that could affect profit or loss. For fair value hedges, the carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted for gains and losses attributable to the risk being hedged, the derivative is re-measured to fair value and gains and losses from both are taken to profit or loss.

When an unrecognised firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are also recognised in profit or loss.

The Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the Group revokes the designation. Any adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged financial instrument for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to profit or loss. Amortisation may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and shall begin no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged.

(r) Derivative financial instruments and hedging (continued)

(ii) Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges are hedges of the Group's exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and that could affect profit or loss. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in equity, while the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss.

Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the statement of comprehensive income when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when hedged income or expenses are recognised or when a forecast sale or purchase occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts taken to equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. If the related transaction is not expected to occur, the amount is taken to profit or loss.

(s)

Financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

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

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(s) Financial assets (continued)

(iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

(iv) Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as availablefor-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-forsale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

(t) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

(i) Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

  • The Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay Them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or

  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or

  • (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the Group could be required to repay.

When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(t) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

(ii) Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

(u) Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

(ii) Financial assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because it’s fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, 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, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

(u) Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(iii) Available-for-sale investments

If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income.

Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

(v) Interests in joint operations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interests a joint operation:

  • Its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;

  • Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;

  • Its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;

  • Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and

  • Its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the relevant standards and interpretations applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of other parties’ interests in the joint operation.

When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the Group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party

(w) Investment in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is an arrangement where the parties have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(w) Investment in associates and joint ventures (continued)

The results and assets and liabilities of associates and joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with AASB 5. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss in other comprehensive income of the associate if joint venture. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in associate or joint venture, the Group discontinues to recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

An investment in an associate or joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or joint venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

The requirements of ASSB 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in associate or joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount if the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’ as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

(x) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.

Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and less any impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Buildings – over 40 years

Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing balance basis over the estimated useful life of assets as follows: Plant and equipment – over 3 to 16 years

The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(x) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

(i) Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of 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, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to approximate fair value.

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.

For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item. However, because land and buildings are measured at revalued amounts, impairment losses on land and buildings are treated as a revaluation decrement.

(ii) Derecognition and disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

(iii) Revaluations

Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are carried at a revalued amount which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on buildings and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm’s length transaction as at the valuation date.

Any revaluation increment is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the statement of financial position, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognised in profit or loss.

Any revaluation decrease is recognised in profit or loss, except that a decrease offsetting a previous revaluation increase for the same asset is debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve to the extent of the credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve for that asset.

An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amounts of the assets and depreciation based on the assets' original costs.

47

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(x) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Additionally, any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amounts of the assets and the net amounts are restated to the revalued amounts of the assets. Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings. Independent valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from the assets' fair values at the balance date.

(y) Investment Properties

Investment properties are those properties that are held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit and loss.

A property interest under an operating lease is classified and accounted for on a property-byproperty basis when the Group holds it to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Any such property interest under an operating lease classified as an investment property is carried at fair value.

Prospective lessees may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into operating leases. These incentives may take various forms including cash payments, rent free periods or as a contribution to certain lease costs such as fitout costs or relocation costs. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties.

(z)

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

(aa) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

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.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract 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 of finance costs.

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

48

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(ab) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example 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 statements of comprehensive income, net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

(ac) Employee leave benefits

(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in other payables or provisions in respect of employees’ services up to the balance date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the balance date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the balance date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(ad) Share-based payment transactions

Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits; the Performance Rights Plan (‘PRP’), which provides benefits to Directors, key management personnel and senior management.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Axiom Properties Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

49

AXIOM PROPERTIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(ad) Share-based payment transactions (continued)

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each balance date until vesting date reflects:

  • the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and

  • the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition. If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see Note 5).

(ae) Issued Capital

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.

(af) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses;

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; and

  • divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(ag) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Axiom Properties Limited, disclosed in Note 24 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 subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Axiom Properties Limited. Any dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

(c) Tax Consolidation

Legislation has been enacted to allow groups, comprising of a parent entity and its Australian resident wholly owned entities, to elect to be consolidated and be treated as a single entity for income tax purposes. The legislation, which includes both mandatory and elective elements, is applicable to Axiom Properties Limited.

As at the reporting date, the Directors have not made an election to be taxed as a single entity. The financial effect of the legislation has therefore not been brought to account in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any changes in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the balance date. The concentration of credit risk is limited. Accordingly, the Directors believe that there is no further provision required in excess of the allowance for impairment.

Measurement of fair values

Fair value hierarchy

Investment properties are measured at fair value. Fair value is determined on the basis of either an independent valuation prepared by external valuers as at the date of the statement of financial position, or directors’ valuation. Independent valuations of property investments are obtained at intervals of not more than three years. Independent valuations were performed by external, independent property valuers, having appropriate professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued.

The fair value measurement for investment property of $45.465 million has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used, as noted below.

Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs

The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of the investment property as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Valuation technique

Capitalisation method and discounted cashflow approach: Axiom considers both techniques, and reconciles and weighs the estimates under each technique based on its assessment of the judgement that market participants would apply.

The capitalisation method estimates the sustainable net income (where applicable) of any asset held for sale, and then applies a capitalisation (or discount/risk) rate to this sustainable net income to derive the value of asset.

The discounted cashflow approach considers the present value of net cash flows to be generated from the property, taking into account the receipt of contractual rentals, expected future market rentals, letting up periods, escalation (of sales and costs), occupancy rate, lease incentive costs such as rent-free periods and other costs not paid by tenants. The expected net cash flows are discounted using risk-adjusted discount rates. Among other factors, the discount rate estimation considers the quality of a building and its location, tenant credit quality and lease terms.

  • Inter-relationship between

  • Significant unobservable key unobservable inputs and inputs fair value measurement 1. Capitalisation (or discount The estimated fair value would / risk) rate (6.0% - 8.5%) increase (decrease) if:

Employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.

The current liability includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their entitlement.

In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of annual leave and long service leave, the probability of leave being taken is based on historical data. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been discussed in Note 1(ac).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial risk management objectives The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk management. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

The use of financial derivatives is covered by the Group’s policies approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by management on a continuous basis. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

(c) Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. None of the Group’s entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax and general administrative outgoings. Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2014. The gearing ratios as at 30 June 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Loans and other borrowings

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

(c) Capital risk management (continued)

The increase in the gearing ratio during 2015 resulted from the development of the Churchill Centre South. The Board continues to monitor the level of gearing into the next financial year and has taken steps to reduce the overhead liability of the Group going forward.

(d) Interest rate risk

The Group has a 6 month term deposit of $3.5 million with BankSA which matures in September 2015. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk upon maturity of the term deposits. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

However, the Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings that are used to fund its development activities as entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group seeks to minimise the effect of this risk by using derivative financial instruments to hedge the risk exposure wherever it is prudent to do so. The use of financial instruments is dependent on management’s assessment of the interest rate risk going forward and this is assessed on a case by case basis. Financial institutions may also require the Group to enter into derivatives though loan facility documentation.

The Company’s and Group’s exposures to interest rate on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of the note.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is a reasonable basis on which to base the sensitivity analyses.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables are held constant the Group’s:

  • Net profit before tax would decrease by $94K (2014: $60K) or increase by $94K (2014: $60K). This is due to the Group’s exposure to variable interest rates on its finance facilities.

(e) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure from tenants. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited due to the high proportion of funds being held with high rated banking institutions. The table below shows the balance of cash and cash equivalents held with various financial institutions at the end of the reporting period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Whilst the Group does have exposure to a small spread of counterparties the Directors are of the view that there is no significantly elevated credit risk arising from these concentrated exposures. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral or other security obtained.

(g) Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its financial commitments. Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and borrowing facilities and by monitoring forecast versus actual cash flows and matching where ever possible the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in Note 15 is a listing of undrawn facilities that the Group has at its disposal.

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining maturities for its non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities. These are based upon the undiscounted cash flows of financial instruments based upon the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Axiom Properties Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Axiom Properties Limited (“the company”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration for the consolidated entity. The Group comprises the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

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 control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In Note 1(c), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

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 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 judgement, 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 control relevant to the company’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 internal control. 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.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or

management.

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 .
