DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
The Directors of BlackWall Property Funds Limited and it's controlled entities ("BlackWall") present their report for the financial year ended 30 June 2011.
BlackWall was incorporated on 20 October 2010, however it did not commence operating until January 2011. Therefore all results and disclosures are in effect for the 6 months ended 30 June 2011.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
BlackWall was formed from the demerger of Pelorus Property Group Limited of its operating businesses to BlackWall in January 2011.
BlackWall is a vertically integrated property funds management business earning fee income from a full range of property related activities.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The net result for BlackWall for the financial period ended 30 June 2011 was a profit after tax of \$0.9 million. BlackWall has lodged an application with the Australian Securities Exchange to be admitted to the official list.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN AFFAIRS
This is BlackWall's first annual report, as such, there are no significant changes in affairs. As part of the ASX listing process BlackWall has lodged a prospectus (Prospectus) with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. This document gives a detailed explanation of BlackWall's operations.
DIVIDENDS
There were no dividends paid or declared in the financial period ended 30 June 2011.
It is anticipated that BlackWall will commence paying dividends in the 2012 financial year.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE AND LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
Under the Prospectus, BlackWall offered up to 6,000,000 ordinary shares. These shares were allotted prior to balance date at 50 cents per share. After the balance date and following a determination by the ASX with respect to listing rules regarding shareholder spread, BlackWall issued a second prospectus. The aim of this prospectus was to re‐price the offer under the Prospectus from 50 cents per share to 25 cents per share and invited further applications for shares in BlackWall. As a consequence of the repricing a total of 6,967,486 additional shares will have been allotted bringing the total shares on issue at listing to 51,326,021.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations
The Board of directors of BlackWall is responsible for the corporate governance of the company. Given that BlackWall has applied to be listed, outlined below are the company's corporate governance practices for the financial year addressing the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles and Recommendations.
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
BlackWall operates with a flat management structure. Decisions at the Board level and the assessment of executive performance are based on reports received from the chief executive officer and the consideration of issues by executive, non‐executive and independent directors at Board meetings.
The Remuneration Committee (or full Board in absence of Remuneration Committee) will oversee the performance evaluation of the executive team. This will be based on specific criteria, including the business performance of the company, whether strategic objectives are being achieved and the development of management and personnel. Performance reviews of senior executives have taken place during the reporting period and they were in accordance with the process above.
Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value
The directors monitor the business affairs of the company on behalf of shareholders with a specific focus on the profitability of business activities and the efficiency of its managers. In keeping with this consideration, Board positions are held by a majority of members who are significant shareholders and its Chairman is a significant shareholder. BlackWall has not therefore adopted recommendations 2.1 and 2.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council.
The Board is structured to ensure the efficient interaction between the Board and management. Specifically, the Board structure is as follows:
| Non‐Executive Board Members |
Richard Hill (Chairman) Robin Tedder Seph Glew |
|---|---|
| Executive Board Member | Stuart Brown |
The Board's primary focus is on driving returns to shareholders by growing Net Tangible Assets and earnings per share over the long term. The Board considers risk management and the ethical conduct of business. In this regard the Board has established the following sub‐committees:
| Audit Committee | Robin Tedder (Chairman) Seph Glew |
|---|---|
| Remuneration Committee | The Board notes that the remuneration and recruitment of key senior executives are issues that are fundamental to the performance of the company. As a consequence the Board has resolved that this issue will, when required, form part of the Board meeting agenda for consideration by all Board members. |
The Board is structured with a combination of skills and experiences outlined in the "Information on Directors" section. The Board members' skills and experience are consistent with the business operations that BlackWall undertakes including:
- Structured finance and fund management
- Property management and leasing
- Property development.
BlackWall does not foresee the composition changing in the near future and therefore has not established a nomination committee. The Board considers that the independence of a director is not compromised simply by the fact that the director is a significant shareholder in the company or a significant investor in the company's projects. As a consequence the Board regards Robin Tedder and Richard Hill as independent directors notwithstanding that each is significantly invested in the company's projects, its shares or both.
Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making
BlackWall has a number of work groups that meet either weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Director and employee conduct and decision making is discussed at these meetings.
BlackWall has adopted a Code of Conduct, which can be accessed at the company's website when it lists. Directors and employees are encouraged to report any suspected unethical or irresponsible behavior to the Chief executive officer.
The company has adopted a Diversity Policy which can be accessed on the company's website when it lists.
| Women | |
|---|---|
| Board Members | 0% |
| Senior Executives | 30% |
| Whole Organisation | 50% |
BlackWall has adopted a Trading Policy. BlackWall imposes restrictions on its directors and employees trading BlackWall securities when they are in possession of price‐sensitive information that has not been published or made available to the general public.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
Financial reports are prepared by the chief financial officer in collaboration with senior management and the chief executive officer.
The Board has established an audit committee and adopted an Audit Charter. The Audit Committee consists of two non‐executive directors. Given the composition of the Board and the size of the company, ASX Recommendation 4.2 is not complied with in all respects. While the members are arguably if not technically independent they possess the necessary experience for the position. The Board takes the view that the committee as constituted can discharge its role effectively without the undue expense of appointing three members and an independent chairman. The committee reviews the auditing process for half‐yearly and annual reports and meets prior to, during and post the audit to discuss. During meetings the committee minutes its roles and responsibilities in regards to the audit addressing the need for a formal charter. The committee has direct access to the auditor during the auditing period and the auditor attends the committee meetings. The committee may make recommendations to the Board.
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosures
BlackWall undertakes timely market disclosures. The chief executive officer in consultation with the Board will manage investor relations and the release of market sensitive information. Information is not published without at least two directors reviewing the disclosure or announcement. All relevant information will be published on the ASX and the company's website and any financial results released include commentary from directors. The company will maintain a timetable for its compliance and periodic disclosure requirements.
Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
BlackWall undertakes a number of measures to ensure its shareholders are informed of its operations including:
- The executive director is available to meet or speak to shareholders;
- A non‐executive director and chief executive officer make themselves available to independent research houses, brokers and other participants in the financial markets;
- Maintaining an "Investor Key Dates" section on its website and updating the website continually;
- Making available BlackWall's annual and half‐yearly reports electronically via email and website;
- Enabling access to BlackWall's external auditor at the Annual General Meeting;
- Placing on its website all releases to the ASX and the media, and full notices of all meetings and company information on its website including access to archived information.
Principle 7: Recognising and managing risk
The company has adopted a Risk Management Policy. This policy outlines the key material risks faced by the company. BlackWall identifies and manages risk through a framework managed by the executive director. Risks are reported to the Board by management at each Board meeting and the Chairman may call an extraordinary meeting when circumstances require. The Board has received confirmation from the chief executive officer that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control.
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Board actively encourages and promotes efficiency, innovation and entrepreneurialism. Senior management meetings are held weekly to discuss issues and opportunities. The chief executive officer and senior executives are remunerated on the basis of the Board's consideration of the employee's responsibilities and performance, the company's financial position and market conditions. The role of the Remuneration Committee is carried out by the full Board. The Board considers that no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate Remuneration Committee. Further details of the Board's approach to remuneration are detailed in the Remuneration Report, which reflects recommendation 8.3 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council.

The company was incorporated on 20 October 2010 and accordingly only current year figures covering the period from incorporation are shown.

The Demerger involved the transfer by Pelorus of its operating businesses, on 1 January 2011, to BlackWall via an In-Specie transfer of BlackWall shares to Pelorus shareholders.
The In-Specie transfer occurred by way of capital reduction which was approved by shareholders of Pelorus at an extraordinary meeting held on 22 December 2010.
The financial statements for BlackWall and controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2011 were authorised for issue in accordance with the resolution of the directors on 28 September 2011.

The Group is a Group of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the directors' report and the half-year financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Going Concern
This financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Presentation of financial statements
Presentation currency
Both the functional and presentation currency of BlackWall and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars. The New Zealand subsidiary's functional currency is New Zealand Dollars, which is translated to presentation currency (refer to Foreign Currency Translation note below).
Principles of Consolidation
Controlled entities
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of BlackWall and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2011. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 26 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end and use consistent accounting policies. Investments in subsidiaries held by BlackWall are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of the parent entity less any impairment charges.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred (refer to Business Combination Note below).
Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, its operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
A controlled entity is an entity BlackWall has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Inter-company balances
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
Non controlling interests
Non-controlling interests not held by the Group are allocated their share of net profit and comprehensive income after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders' equity. Comprehensive income after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders' equity.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
General
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key estimates - Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. The directors believed it appropriate to raise no impairment provisions in the year ended 30 June 2011.
Financial asset provisions have been raised with reference to the prevailing prices at 30 June 2011 of available for sale assets measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income.
Foreign currency translation
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency are translated as follows:
- assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
- income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
- retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

Property, Plant and Equipment
General Information
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of an item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit and loss as incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Useful life
| The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable assets are: | |
|---|---|
| Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings | over 2 to 40 years |
| Office Equipment | over 2 to 5 years |
| Motor Vehicles | over 5 to 8 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
Disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further 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 within "other income" in profit and loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
Impairment of Asset
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired.
If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. In assessing value in use, either 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 or the income of the asset is capitalised at its relevant capitalisation rate.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Property, Plant and Equipment continued
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are expensed to the income statement.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised.
Financial Instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
Recognition
A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flow from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial assets to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables including loans to related entities and to key management personnel are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Financial Instruments continued
Available-for-sale financial assets
The Group's investments in related party unlisted unit trusts are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
Fair value
The fair values of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets are determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments in related party unlisted unit trusts, fair values are determined by reference to published unit prices of these investments which are based on the net tangible assets of each of the investments.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. A financial instrument is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial instrument measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value.
Individually significant financial instruments are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial instruments measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit and loss.

Intangibles
Goodwill
Goodwill on consolidation is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances indicate it might be impaired and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units. Each unit to which the goodwill is so allocated:
-
represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and
-
is not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with AASB 8 Segment Reporting.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the unit disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the unit when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the unit. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
As at 30 June 2011, the Goodwill in relation to the purchase of BlackWall subsidiaries has not been impaired.
Investments in Associates
Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting where significant influence is exercised over an investee. Significant influence exists where the investor has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not have control or joint control over those policies. The Group generally deems they have significant influence if they have between 20% to 50% of the voting rights.
Under the equity method of accounting, investments in the associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associates. The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits losses is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of the interest is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Interests in joint ventures
The Group has an interest in joint ventures that are jointly controlled operations. A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of assets and other resources of the venturers rather than establishment of a separate entity. The Group recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operations by recognising its interests in the assets and the liabilities of the joint ventures. The Group also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of services by the jointly controlled operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable. Financial difficulties of the debtor and default payments are considered objective evidence of impairment. Bad debts are written off when identified as uncollectible.
Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Group at balance date. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less any related transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost.
Employee Benefits
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions to a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised as a personnel expense in profit and loss when they are due.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Employee Benefits continued
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than defined benefit plans is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs. These employee benefits have not been discounted to the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
Short-term benefits
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave represent present obligations resulting from employee's services provided to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Where 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 income statement net of any reimbursement.
Revenue
Income from management fees in relation to managed investment schemes is recognised when it becomes legally due and payable to the Company.
Revenue from property services contracts is recognised monthly in arrears.
Investment income
Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate.
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date.
Trust distributions are recognised when they are declared by the Trustee or responsible entity.
Foreign currency gains or losses are reported on a net basis.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Income Tax
Current income tax expense
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Accounting for deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax calculation
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Deferred income tax assets
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Benefit brought to account
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
Tax consolidations
BlackWall has elected to form a tax consolidated group with its wholly owned entities for income tax purposes under the tax consolidation regime with effect from 1 January 2011. As a consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated group are taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is BlackWall Property Funds Limited.

Notes to the Financial Statements
From the period 20 October 2010 to 30 June 2011

Tax consolidations continued
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, BlackWall Property Funds Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts.
The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised.
Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Application of new and revised standards
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the Group from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed in the relevant accounting policy.

AASB 2009-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project
The Group has applied AASB 2009-5 amendments from 1 July 2010. The amendments result in some accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement purposes, while some amendments that relate to terminology and editorial changes had no or minimal effect on accounting. The main changes were:
AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements' - classification is not affected by the terms of a liability that could be settled by the issuance of equity instruments at the option of the counterparty;
AASB 107 'Statement AASB 107 'Statement of Cash Flows' - only expenditure that results in a recognised asset can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities;
AASB 117 'Leases' - removal of specific guidance on classifying land as a lease;
AASB 118 'Revenue' - provides additional guidance to determine whether an entity is acting as a principal or agent; and
AASB 136 'Impairment of Assets' - clarifies that the largest unit permitted for allocating goodwill, acquired in a business combination, is the operating segment as defined in AASB 8 'Operating Segments' before aggregation for reporting purposes.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2011. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments, 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9
This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and completes phase I of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (being the international equivalent to AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'). This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. To be classified and measured at amortised cost, assets must satisfy the business model test for managing the financial assets and have certain contractual cash flow characteristics. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value. This standard allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income, with dividends as a return on these investments being recognised in profit or loss. In addition, those equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would no longer have to apply any impairment requirements nor would there be any 'recycling' of gains or losses through profit or loss on disposal. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2013 but the impact of its

AASB 2010-4 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. These amendments are a consequence of the annual improvements project and make numerous non-urgent but necessary amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. The amendments provide clarification of disclosures in AASB 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', in particular emphasis of the interaction between quantitative and qualitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instrument; clarifies that an entity can present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes in accordance with AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Instruments'; and provides guidance on the disclosure of significant events and transactions in AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2011 will not have a material impact on the Group.
AASB 2010-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. These amendments makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of International Financial Reporting Standards by the International Accounting Standards Board. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2011 will not have a material impact on the Group.
AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (December 2009)
This revised standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. This revised standard simplifies the definition of a related party by clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition. The definition now identifies a subsidiary and an associate with the same investor as related parties of each other; entities significantly influenced by one person and entities significantly influenced by a close member of the family of that person are no longer related parties of each other; and whenever a person or entity has both joint control over a second entity and joint control or significant influence over a third party, the second and third entities are related to each other. This revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirement for government-related entities. The adoption of this standard from 1 July 2011 will not have a material impact on the Group.
AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. These amendments add and amend disclosure requirements in AASB 7 about transfer of financial assets, including the nature of the financial assets involved and the risks associated with them. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2011 will increase the disclosure requirements on the Group when an asset is transferred but is not derecognised and new disclosure required when assets are derecognised but the Group continues to have a continuing exposure to the asset after the sale.

AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards- Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 and a practical approach for the measurement of deferred tax relating to investment properties measured at fair value, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured using the revaluation model. The measurement of deferred tax for these specified assets is based on the presumption that the carrying amount of the underlying asset will be recovered entirely through sale, unless the entity has clear evidence that economic benefits of the underlying asset will be consumed during its economic life. The Group is yet to quantify the tax effect of adopting these amendments from 1 July 2012.
2. Segment Reporting
AASB requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The Group's primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments. The business segments are determined based on the Group management and internal reporting structure. There is only one geographical segment being Australasia.
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets.
The Group has adopted two reporting segments, Fund & Property Management and Investments. Following the acquisition of funds management operations, the Group's fee earning activities are primarily derived from property assets held within funds or held on balance sheet. As such the Groups operations and reporting lines are better represented by consolidating all of the fee earning operating property businesses within the Fund and Property Management segment and returns derived by holding investments in property securities under the segment referred to as Investments.
The Fund & Property management segment engages in funds and asset management as well as property services that include property management, leasing and general property consultancy. Management treats these operations as one "fee earning" operating segment.
The Investment segment includes interests in property related investments such as units in related party unlisted unit trusts, loans and cash. It generates income from dividends, distributions, and interest.
Transfer prices between business segments are set at an arms length basis.

The recoverable amount of the operating business CGUs is determined based on value in use ('VIU') calculations. For the operating business CGUs, the assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount of each CGU are based on past experience and expectations for the future, utilising both internal and external sources of data.
No impairment arose as a result of the review of goodwill for the operating business CGUs for the period 20 October 2010 to 30 June 2011.
The following describes the key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining VIU relating to the operating business CGUs.
Cash Flows
The VIU calculations use after tax cash flow projections based on actual operating results, and financial forecasts covering a five period which have been approved by management. These forecasts are base on management estimates to determine income, expenses, capital expenditure and cash flows for each CGU.
Growth Rate
The growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flows beyond the five-year period is 3.0%. The growth rate reflects the forecast long term average growth rate for each CGU.
Discount Rate
The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 10% (government bond rate of 4% plus a 6% risk factor).
