DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

Your directors present their report for the company and controlled entities for the financial year ended 30 June 2009.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The year ended 30 June 2009 has been one of significant change for Pelorus. With the completion of the group’s restructure in December 2008 (the “Merger”), Pelorus now has a much larger balance sheet, a solid real estate portfolio and a property funds management and services business with significant capacity and prospects.

Pelorus aims to generate recurring revenue and capital growth from income producing properties. Our strategy is to hold real estate for the long term and grow income streams through active management and, where possible, ongoing development.

Our activities can be broken into three vertically integrated groups.

  • Current value of $220 million - equating to NTA of 26 cents per share following over $30 million of write downs over the past 18 months.

Property Portfolio

  - 6 assets (5 in Australia and 1 in New Zealand).
  • Net lettable area of 70,000 sqm with a further 60,000 sqm of development potential.

  • Weighted average look through gearing of 50% with a weighted average term to maturity of 2.7 years.

  • Seven funds with over A$200 million in assets under management.

  • A rent roll of over $75 million pa from over 40 properties.

  • Funds Management • Development management, leasing and general property consultancy.

  • & Property Services

  • Asset management and advisory work specialising in special situations, distressed assets and property structures.

  • WT Serviced Offices - A serviced office business controlling over 4,300 sqm of short-term office space.

  • Pelathon Management Group Pty Ltd (40% joint venture) – Pub operations with 4 existing pubs, a portfolio of three pubs under negotiation and a new

  • Property Operating outlet due to open in December 2009. Businesses • WT Retail Services (India) Private Ltd (50% India joint venture) – Retail property management and consultancy with 5 ongoing mandates in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mangalore.

  • Capital Storage Services Pty Ltd (51% joint venture) – A self-storage management business with over 30,000 sqm of storage space under management.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AND RESULTS

The deterioration of economic conditions over the past 18 months has led to highly geared property structures experiencing significant and in some cases fatal funding difficulties. We feel that, particularly in the unlisted

Annual Report Financial Year Ended 30 June 2009

property sector, these issues will continue for some time. Such circumstances will lead to increasing mergers and acquisition activity among property funds management businesses. Pelorus has already participated in this space with the acquisition of RFML Limited (formerly called Reed Funds Management Limited) and Tankstream Funds Management Limited. These two transactions have effectively replaced the funds under management lost with the merger of Pelorus with its largest fund, The Bakehouse Quarter Fund, in December 2008.

With the integration of Tankstream and RFML now complete, we have a solid platform from which to grow assets under management. In this regard we expect assets under management to grow to over $1 billion over the coming three years.

The trusts we now manage are not without issues; however, we feel our structure along with our approach to property and property finance should, over time, rectify problems and generate reasonable returns to investors and stable fees to Pelorus. A number of specific initiatives are under way and will be announced in the coming weeks.

Over the coming 12 months, Pelorus will aim to grow its portfolio of controlled assets by:

  • merger and acquisitions of property funds management businesses;

  • using its balance sheet along with the balance sheets of its managed funds to acquire income producing properties with a particular focus on distressed assets and property structures; and

  • engaging its Property Services activities and that of its Property Operating Business in mandates with equity participation components.

RESULTS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Pelorus made a Pre-Tax Profit for the full year to 30 June 2009 of $9.5 million.

The revenue and earnings contributions of Pelorus’ three operating platforms are summarised below; however, the Merger had a significant effect on the quantum and make up of this result. Specifically:

  • the Property Investment result includes only the six months trading from December 2008; and

  • Funds Management and Property Services revenue in relation to the funds and properties brought on to the Pelorus balance sheet as a result of the Merger are eliminated on consolidation for the six months from December 2008. Had the merger not occurred, the annualised result for this segment would have been approximately $2.2 million.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations

The Board of Directors of Pelorus Property Group is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. 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

Pelorus operates with a flat management structure. Executive directors are involved in the day-to-day operations of the business. Decisions at the Board level and the assessment of executive performance are based on reports received from executive directors and the consideration of issues by executive, non-executive and independent directors at meetings. Executive directors implement these decisions.

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 the 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 not independent. The board is structured to ensure the efficient interaction between the board and management. Specifically, the board structure is as follows:

Executive Board Members Seph Glew (Chairman)
Stuart Brown
GuyWynn
Non-Executive Board Member Paul Tresidder
Independent and Non-Executive Robin Tedder
Board Members Richard Hill

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)
Richard Hill
Related Party Transactions Committee Richard Hill (Chairman)
Seph Glew
Stuart Brown
Investment Committee Seph Glew
Robin Tedder
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.

Annual Report Financial Year Ended 30 June 2009

11

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 Pelorus undertakes, including:

  • Structured finance and fund management;

  • Property management and leasing; and

  • Property development.

The Board’s current composition has operated since the company’s listing date on 20 July 2006. Pelorus 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

Pelorus 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. In addition, Pelorus imposes restrictions on its directors and employees trading Pelorus securities when they are in possession of price-sensitive information that has not been published or made available to the general public. Directors and employees are encouraged to report any suspected unethical or irresponsible behaviour to the Compliance Officer.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

Financial reports are prepared through the collaboration of senior management, executive directors and the Chairman.

The Audit Committee consists of two independent non-executive directors. The committee reviews the auditing process for half-yearly and annual reports and meets prior to, during and post the audit to discuss. The committee minutes its roles and responsibilities at each meeting in relation to the audit process, removing 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

Pelorus undertakes timely market disclosures. The Executive Chairman and Managing Director 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 is published on the ASX and the company’s website and any financial results released include commentary from directors. The company maintains a timetable for its compliance and periodic disclosure requirements.

Annual Report Financial Year Ended 30 June 2009

12

Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders

Pelorus undertakes a number of measures to ensure its shareholders are informed of its operations, including:

  • The Executive Directors are available to meet or speak to shareholders;

  • The Executive Chairman and Managing Director 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 Pelorus’ annual and half-yearly reports electronically via email and website;

  • Enabling access to Pelorus’ 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; and

  • Publishing director interviews and market announcements on commercial market information services.

Principle 7: Recognise and managing risk

Pelorus identifies and manages risk through a framework managed by the executive directors. Risks are reported to the Board by management executives at each Board meeting and the Chairman may call an extraordinary meeting when circumstances require. The Board has received confirmation from the Managing Director 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.

In its capacity as a responsible entity of managed investment schemes, the company has convened a compliance committee to report to the Board on compliance systems with respect to its registered schemes. The committee has a majority of independent members and an independent chair. The company’s compliance practices and procedures with respect to its registered schemes are subject to external audit. The compliance committee is constituted as an audit committee for the purposes of the audit of the registered schemes.

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 Managing Director 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 Executive Chairman, Managing Director and Executive Directors determine employee remuneration. Further details of the Board’s approach to remuneration are detailed in the Remuneration Report.

1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

General information

Introduction

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers the economic entity of Pelorus Property Group Ltd and Controlled Entities, and Pelorus Property Group Ltd as an individual parent entity. Pelorus Property Group Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report for Pelorus Property Group Ltd and controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2009 was authorised for issue in accordance with the resolution of the directors in August 2009.

The financial report of Pelorus Property Group Ltd and Controlled Entities, and Pelorus Property Group Ltd as an individual parent entity comply with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

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

Basis of Preparation

Reporting Basis and Conventions

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

Presentation of financial statements

Presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation currency of Pelorus Property Group Limited 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).

Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Any change of presentation has been made in order to make the financial statements more relevant and useful to the user.

Principles of Consolidation

Controlled entities

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Pelorus Property Group Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2009. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 28 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end and use consistent accounting policies.

A controlled entity is an entity Pelorus Property Group Ltd and Controlled Entities has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Investments in subsidiaries held by Pelorus Property Group Limited are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of the parent entity less any impairment charges.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (refer to Business Combination note below).

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.

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.

Minority interests

Minority interests not held by the Group are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the income statement and are presented within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders' equity.

Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the combination. Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

General

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report 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 is appropriate to raise impairment provisions against investment property assets as well as against loans and receivables in the year ended 30 June 2009. The provisions have been raised in reference to the economic conditions.

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

Foreign currency translation continued

Group companies continued

  • 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 income statement 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 5 years
Office Equipment over 2 to 5 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Property, Plant and Equipment continued

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.

Investment Properties

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which is based on active market prices, adjusted if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Impairment of Assets

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.

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.

Research and development

Research costs are expensed when incurred. Development costs are capitalised to the extent that recovery of these costs is assured, and are amortised over the life of the property services agreement.

Financial Instruments

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the to the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.

Derivative instruments

The Group uses derivative financial instruments (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.

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 profit or loss for the year.

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.

Held-for trading financial assets

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

Financial Instruments continued

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.

Available-for-sale financial assets

The Group's investments in equity securities 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 taken directly to equity until the financial assets are derecognised or determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit and loss.

Non-current assets held-for-sale

Non-current assets held-for-sale comprise of assets that are to be disposed of within 12 months of balance date. Upon initial classification as held-for-sale, non-current assets are recognised at lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.

Revaluations on initial classification as held-for-sale are included in the Income Statement.

Net gains from disposal of non-current assets sales are recognised in the Income Statement at the date the control of the asset passes to the buyer.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value. Revaluations are included in the income statement where hedge accounting is not applied.

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 independent valuations of the underlying properties offered as security.

Financial Instruments continued

Impairment

At each reporting date, the Group assess 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 income statement.

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. For available-for-sale financial instruments that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.

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 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 a segment based on either the Group's primary or secondary reporting format determined in accordance with AASB 114 Segment Reporting .

Intangibles continued

Goodwill continued

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 2009, there is no indication that impairment exists.

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 or 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.

Interests in joint ventures

The Group has an interest in a joint venture that is a jointly controlled operation. 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 operation by recognising its interest in the assets and the liabilities of the joint venture. 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 operation.

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.

The cost of mining stocks includes direct materials, direct labour, transportation costs and variable and fixed overhead costs relating to mining activities.

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 company 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.

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.

Finance income

Finance income comprises interest on funds invested, dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

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.

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).

Property income

Property income comprises rental and recovery of outgoings from property tenants. It is recognised when it becomes legally due and payable to the Property Owner.

Trust distribution income

Trust distributions are recognised when they are declared by the Trustee or responsible entity.

Income Tax

Current Income Tax expense

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the 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

Pelorus Property Group Limited 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 July 2005. 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 Pelorus Property Group Limited.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Pelorus Property Group 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.

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.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2009, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report.

  • Revised AASB 3 Business Combinations changes the application of acquisition accounting for business combinations and the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interest. Key changes include: the immediate expensing of all transactions costs; measurement of contingent consideration at acquisition date with subsequent changes through the income statement; measurement of non-controlling (minority) interests at full fair value or the proportionate share of the fair value of the underlying net assets; guidance on issues such as reacquired rights and vendor indemnities; and the inclusion of combinations by contract alone and those involving mutuals. The revised standard becomes mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements.

  • AASB 8 Operating Segments introduces the "management approach" to segment reporting. AASB 8, which becomes mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements, will require the disclosure of segment information based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Group's Chief Executive Officer in order to assess each segment's performance and to allocate resources to them. Currently the Group presents segment information in respect of its business segments. Application of this standard will not affect any of the amounts in the financial statements, but may impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the Group's segment reporting.

  • Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements introduces as a financial statement (formerly "primary" statement) the "statement of comprehensive income". The revised standard does not change the recognition, measurement or disclosure of transactions and events that are required by other AASBs. The revised AASB 101 will become mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements. Application of this standard will not affect any of the amounts in the financial statements, but may result in changes in terminology used in the financial statements.

  • Revised AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements changes the accounting for investments in subsidiaries. Key changes include: the remeasurement to fair value of any previous/ retained investment when control is obtained/ lost, with any resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss; and the treatment of increases in ownership interest after control is obtained as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. The revised standard will become mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements. The Group has not yet determined the potential effect of the revised standard on the Group's financial report.

2 Segment Reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments. Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's business and geographical segments. 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. Unallocated items comprise mainly of income tax assets and liabilities.

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 Fund / Asset management segment engages in property structured finance and funds management.

The Property Services segment engages in integrated property services including property management, leasing and general property consultancy. It contains a serviced office business branded as WTSO.

The Direct Property Investment segment owns direct interests in property assets. It receives rental income and incurs property outgoings and property owning finance costs.

The Other Investment segment includes all other investments such as listed security investments, property securities, loans and cash. It generates income from dividends, distributions, and interest.

Transfer prices between business segments are set at an arms length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

The Direct Property Investment segment has been created as a result of the merger transaction that occurred during the year ended 30 June 2009. There are therefore no comparative numbers for this segment. For further details on the merger see note 3 (b).

(b) Unrealised (loss)/ gains on revaluation of assets

On 28 November 2008 the shareholders approved a transaction to merge the group with a number of its funds and related bodies corporate.

At the full year ended 30 June 2008 the units in the Bakehouse Quarter Fund held by the Group (approximately 25% of the Fund) were classified as a Held-For-Sale asset to reflect management's intention to establish a new property investment fund to be seeded by this investment.

As part of the merger, Pelorus acquired all of the units in the Bakehouse Quarter Fund giving the Group control of the Bakehouse Quarter property. As a consequence, this asset is carried as an Investment Property in the consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly the interests held in the Fund prior to the merger have been reclassified from Held-For-Sale to Investment Property.

In recognising the interests acquired in properties as part of the merger, the directors resolved to write down the value of the portfolio by $29.67 million to reflect the deteriorating economic conditions and sentiment with respect to commercial properties. As a consequence, the carrying value of the units in the Fund held prior to the merger have been impaired by $6.3m as shown above. See notes 13 and 15 for the treatment of the investment properties acquired in merger.

13 Acquisition of subsidiaries continued

As part of the merger, Pelorus Property Group Ltd acquired all of the interests it did not already own in the Bakehouse Quarter Fund, all of the issued shares of Planloc Pty Limited and a 50% interest in RASP Investments Pty Ltd and RASP Investments No. 2 Pty Ltd. This gave the consolidated entity control of the Bakehouse Quarter property, a bulky goods retail centre known as 120 Mulgoa Road Penrith and two residential properties providing furnished short-term accommodation to working tourists. These assets are classified as Investment Properties in the consolidated balance sheet.

At 31 December 2008 the gain on acquisition was included in the parent entity accounts. At 30 June 2009 it is shown only in the consolidated accounts.

In recognising the interests acquired in these properties, the directors resolved to write down the value of the portfolio by $29.7 million to reflect the deteriorating economic conditions and sentiment with respect to commercial real estate. The fair value of all properties is shown in Note 15.

(b) Acquisition of Reed Funds Management Limited

On 4 June 2009 Pelorus acquired all of the share capital in a funds management business – Reed Funds Management Limited (now known as RFML Limited). Prior to completion RFML paid Pelorus a commitment fee of $200,000 as part of the share sale arrangement. The acquisition had the following effect on the Group’s assets and liabilities on acquisition date;

These arrangements could give rise to significant contingent liabilities within RFML. Pelorus did not agree to undertakings in relation to any of RFML’s prior obligations and does not regard them as a risk to the group.

As part of the merger, Pelorus acquired all of the units in the Bakehouse Quarter Fund giving the Group control of the Bakehouse Quarter property. It also acquired all of the shares in a company known as Planloc Pty Ltd, which along with some other financial assets, owns the Penrith property.

As a consequence of the merger the Bakehouse Quarter is carried as an Investment Property in the consolidated balance sheet. The Bakehouse Quarter is a significant development site located in North Strathfield Sydney. The project involves the conversion of the old Arnott’s biscuit factory into an urban business precinct with over 35,000 sqm of commercial, retail, restaurant and entertainment space completed and trading. The site is expected to grow roughly 100,000 sqm over the next five to ten years. A $37.5m debt facility secured against the property was refinanced in June 2009 and now has an expiry date of August 2011, the remaining debt expires in September 2012. The current fair value is a combination of development land value, cost of building under construction and a yield of 8% on completed elements.

The Penrith property is a bulky goods retail centre known as 120 Mulgoa Road, Penrith. Pelorus is working up a proposal to expand the properties largest tenant by up to 500 sqm. An independent valuation of the property was undertaken in May 2009 in connection with the refinancing of the debt facility for a further 2 years. The debt now expires in May 2011 reflects a current yield of 9.14%.

The Woods at Villawood is a partially completed conversion of a 9,000 sqm failed bulky goods retail site into a mixed-use entertainment precinct situated on Woodville Road, Villawood. To date the property has 5,000 sqm converted and occupied with negotiations on another 4,000 sqm (including some extensions) expected to be finalised in the coming weeks. The debt secured against the property is due to expire in September 2012. The current fair value reflects a capitalisation rate of 9.25%.

Bondi and Surry Hills are two residential properties providing furnished short-term accommodation to working tourists. The debt facilities secured against the properties are due to expire in July and August 2012 respectively.

The debt secured against Investment Properties is held in six separate facilities with Australian financial institutions. The weighted average term to maturity of the debt is 2.7 years.

33 Financial Instruments

(a) Financial Risk Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, price risk and credit risk.

The Group's principal financial instruments are cash, loan receivables, investments in listed securities and investments in related and unrelated property structures. Additionally, the Group has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations.

This note presents information about the Company's and Group's exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board of Directors and senior management set appropriate risk limits and controls, and monitor risks and adherence to limits. Changes in market conditions and the Company's and Group's activities are monitored with respect to the Group's risk profile. The Company and Group, through their training and management standards and procedures, aim to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Group has exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates on long-term borrowings. Borrowings at variable rate expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.

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

Refer to note 33(g) for financial instruments subject to interest rate risk.

(c) Price Risk

The Group is exposed to price risk through the fluctuation of share prices for listed securities held by the Group and fluctuations in the underlying value of properties used as security for investments in related and unrelated property structures.

(d) Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

Credit risk for financial instruments arises from the potential failure by counter-parties to the contract to meet their obligations.

The Group has credit risk exposure to related parties loan receivables and investments in related and unrelated property structures under financial instruments and contractual arrangements entered into by the Group.

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by obtaining equitable mortgage over real property for related unrelated party loan receivables and investment in related and unrelated property structures.

(e) Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
