EXPLANATORY NOTES

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared for the information of shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company's Annual General Meeting.

Financial Statement and Reports Item $1:$

The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditors' Report to be received and considered at the Annual General Meeting.

Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company's Constitution requires shareholders to vote on such Reports. Shareholders will, however, be given ample opportunity to raise questions on the Reports at the Meeting. A reasonable opportunity will also be given to shareholders as a whole to ask the auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit and the preparation and contents of the Auditors' Report.

The Corporations Act does require a resolution that the Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors' Report, be put to a vote. In accordance with the Corporations Act, this resolution is not binding on the directors and company; it is advisory only.

Recommendation

The Board of the Company recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

Item 2: Election of Directors

Messrs. McBain and Forster cease to hold office at the close of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the terms of the Company's Constitution. Each of them is eligible for, and offers himself for, re-election as a director.

Following are details in relation to the 2 directors who are ceasing to hold office and standing for reelection:

Item $2(a)$ : Re-election of Mr. Jonathan Forster

Jonathan Forster B.Sc. ARICS Aged 58 years

Jonathan Forster is the Chairman of Kane Constructions Pty Ltd. He is past President of the Master Builders Association of Victoria; Past State and National President of the Retirement Village Association. He is a director of the Redundancy Central Fund Ltd and a number of other private companies involved in construction, property investment and retirement villages.

Mr. Forster has been a director of Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society Limited since 1 October 1999. He has been a director of the Company since 21 December 2000. Mr. Forster is currently Chairman of the Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee and a member of the Investment & Lending Committee and the Nomination & Remuneration Committee.

Item 2(b): Election of Mr. John McBain

John McBain

Dip. Urban Valuation (Auckland)

Aged 50 years

John McBain was the founder of Century Funds Management Limited. Before forming Century Funds Management, Mr. McBain was co-founder of Hanover Group Pty Limited and Waltus Investments Australia Limited.

Prior to 1990, Mr. McBain held senior positions in a number of property development and property investment companies in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Mr. McBain has been a director of the Company since 10 July 2006. Mr. McBain is currently a member of the Investment & Lending Committee and the Nomination & Remuneration Committee.

Recommendation

The Board of the Company (other than Mr. McBain and Mr. Forster in respect of their own election only) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of each director standing for re-election.

Item $3:$ Subsequent Approval of Share Issues

On 10 July 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of Century Funds Management Limited. The acquisition was funded in part by cash, in part by the transfer of existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to the vendors, and by the issue of 4,903,722 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to the vendors on 11 July 2006 at an effective issue price / consideration of \$2.28 per share.

The issue represented approximately 8.55% of the Company's issued share capital.

Under Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, there are limitations on the capacity of the Company to increase its share capital by the issue of shares.

Broadly speaking, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company may not issue shares which in aggregate exceed 15% of the Company's fully paid issued share capital in any 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval (unless an exception applies). However, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of shares made without shareholder approval is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach the 15% limit and shareholders subsequently approve the issue.

The shares issued as part of the consideration of the acquisition of Century Funds Management were fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally with the other fully paid ordinary shares on issue in the capital of the Company.

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company seeks shareholder approval of the issue of 4,903,722 in aggregate to the vendors of Century Funds Management Limited, being:

  • Resolute Funds Management Pty Limited ACN 083 445 345 as trustee of the $(a)$ MCBAIN FAMILY TRUST
  • Ross Elsom Nominees Pty Ltd ACN 002 121 299 as trustee of the ROSS ELSOM TRUST $(b)$
  • $(c)$ Vexdat Pty Ltd ACN 007 957 271 as trustee of the DAVID GOVEY FAMILY TRUST
  • Hanover Estates Pty Ltd ACN 093 425 337 $(d)$
  • $(e)$ John Edward McBain
  • $(f)$ Trelise Leonie Presnel McBain
  • Parital Pty Limited ACN 084 710 163 as trustee of the PARITAI TRUST $(g)$
  • Coy & Associates Consulting Services Pty Ltd ACN 085 273 703 as trustee of the $(h)$ MATTHEW COY TRUST

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of this resolution.

Item 4: Approval of Issue of Options

Christopher Martin was appointed as Managing Director on 28 June 2006.

The terms of Mr. Martin's employment contract provide that Mr. Martin, subject to the passing of this Resolution, will be issued with 900,000 options to acquire shares in the Company. The shares will have an exercise price of \$2.00. The options will vest in tranches, subject to satisfaction of the performance hurdles outlined below:

Tranche Vesting date Expiry date No. of options
EPS hurdles
No. of options
TSR hurdles
TOTALS
First 1 July 2007 31 December 2011 22,500 22,500 45.000
Second July 2008 31 December 2011 45.000 45,000 90.000
Third July 2009 31 December 2011 67,500 67,500 135,000
Fourth i July 2010 31 December 2011 112,500 112,500 225,000
Fifth July 2011 31 December 2011 202,500 202,500 405,000
900.000

calculating this 15% limit if, no more than three years before the date of issue, shareholders approved the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company now seeks shareholder approval of the establishment and operation of the Plan. Directors (whether executive or non-executive) cannot participate in the Plan unless specific approval is given for this purpose by shareholders in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules; there is no intention at the moment to seek that approval.

Annexure A sets out a summary of the key terms of the Plan. A copy of the rules of the Plan will be sent to a shareholder free of charge on request.

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 (as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1), the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Plan.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Subsequent approval of issue of shares under Employee Share Plan Item 6:

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of shares made without shareholder approval is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach the 15% limit and shareholders subsequently approve the issue.

On 15 August 2006, 28,400 Shares were issued to eligible employees under the OFM Short Term Incentive Employee Share Plan (the Plan). The issue represented approximately 0.05% of the Company's issued share capital and did not cause any breach of the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. Participants in the Plan are not liable to make any payment for shares provided under the Plan.

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 the Company seeks shareholder approval of the issue of 28.400 Shares under the Plan.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Item 7: Approval of Name Change

With a strong heritage dating back to our beginnings in 1980, we have provided a range of financial solutions to over 50 community for many years. We have presented ourselves under a number of brands: Over Fifty Friendly Society then Over Fifty Mutual Friendly Society and more recently OFM Investment Group. Significantly, we have never been more active in focussing on the needs of the over fifty community than we are today.

Reflecting our renewed focus on the over fifty demographic we believe it is important to communicate our commitment to shareholders, distribution partners and customers alike. We believe that by changing the name of our company to the Over Fifty Group Ltd we capture the best of our past as well as embracing our future direction.

Under the guidance of our new Managing Director our strategy is focused and clear. We aim to become Australia's leading provider of financial and lifestyle products to the over 50 community. We believe the changing of our name to the Over Fifty Group Ltd is a significant step forward in helping our Company become all that it promises to be.

Under section 157 of the Corporations Act the change of the Company's name requires a special resolution of the Company's shareholders. That means that for the change of name to occur, the resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Item 8: Approval of Change to Constitution

The change proposed by this resolution is intended to facilitate the efficient operation of the Board. It would enable circular resolutions to be passed without the approval of any director who is not present in Australia.

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act the modification of the Company's Constitution requires a special resolution of the Company's shareholders. That means that for the modification of the Constitution to occur, the resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

ANNEXURE A

Summary of terms of the OFM Short Term Incentive Employee Share Plan
("Plan")

Eligible employees The Plan is open to all permanent full-time and part-time employees of OFM and its
subsidiaries who are determined by the Board, in its discretion, to be eligible to
participate in the Plan. Directors (whether executive or non-executive) cannot
participate in the Plan unless approval is given by shareholders in accordance with
the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules; there is no intention at the moment to
seek that approval.
Nature of securities
provided
Fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Shares provided to participants will be
issued directly to them by the Company.
No consideration
payable
Participants will not be liable to make any payment for the Shares provided to them
under the Plan.

determined by the Board in its absolute discretion. However, the maximum number

Restrictions on
disposal and dealing
Participants are restricted from selling, disposing of, encumbering or otherwise
dealing with Shares issued under the Plan for a period of three years from the date
the Shares were provided (Restriction Period). If a participant ceases to be an
employee of OFM or its subsidiaries during the Restriction Period, the restrictions on
disposal will cease.
Rights attaching to
Shares
Unless otherwise determined by the Board and subject to the rules of the Plan
(Rules), Shares provided under the Plan rank equally with other Shares on issue at

We've dranged the way we took, we've changed what we're called, but not who we are...

Over Fifty Group is the new brand name for our Company, which we believe best reflects our past and embraces our future direction. With a strong heritage dating back to our beginnings in 1980, we have continually provided financial solutions to the over fifty community. We have achieved this under a number of brands; The Over 50's Friendly Society then Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society and more recently OFM Investment Group.

Over Fifty Group is dedicated to becoming Australia's leading provider of both financial and lifestyle solutions to the over fifty community.

Financial Results and Dividends

Net profit for the year was \$7.3 million which was in line with forecasts in the half year report. The successful results were derived from an increase in funds under management, successful property transactions, growth in revenues from our mortgage businesses, and returns on our investments in the businesses of Mortgageport and Lifetime Planning.

The directors have declared a fully franked final dividend of 6.0 cents per share, bringing the dividend to 11.0 cents per share for the year.

In addition, as discussed further below, the company crystallised the value of the unclaimed OFM shares within the OFM Trust, enabling the directors to declare a further fully franked special dividend of 9.0 cents per share.

Management Changes

Following the resignation of the former CEO in February 2006, Chris Martin, who was then Head of Retirement Markets and responsible for establishing our reverse mortgage business, was appointed as Acting CEO. I was delighted on behalf of the Board, to announce Chris' appointment as Managing Director effective 1st July 2006 and to welcome him to the Board. Chris is supported by a strong senior management team.

Closure of OFM Trust

The OFM Trust which had been holding OFM shares since 1 July 2001 (following demutualisation), on behalf of unverified members, was finalised shortly after the completion of the financial year. The shares remaining in the Trust were valued at approximately \$5 million and this value was transferred to the retained earnings of the company. The closure of the OFM Trust, and the corresponding removal of the 5% shareholder ownership restriction, is a milestone in our evolution as a public company.

Acquisition of Gentury Funds Management

The acquisition of Century Funds Management for \$42.4 million was announced shortly after the completion of the financial year. This major acquisition was the product of much planning and investigation throughout the year and was financed by the transfer of the shares in the OFM Trust, the issue of new shares, and cash. It brought to the company a proven and successful property funds management team with \$440 million in funds under management, and has provided a strong platform for the growth of our property funds management business.

Board Issues

Following the acquisition of Century Funds Management we were pleased to welcome John McBain, its former Managing Director and co-founder, to our Board.

In a busy schedule, the Board met formally on 22 occasions. Important work was undertaken by the Investment Committee under the Chairmanship of Murray Grant, and the Audit, Risk Management and Compliance Committee under the Chairmanship of Jonathan Forster - which latter Committee had the responsibility for the presentation of our financial accounts in accordance with the new Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards "AIFRS" for the first time. The Board in its capacity as the Remuneration Committee, also finalised outstanding matters in relation to the Employee Rights Scheme and other remuneration issues.

Our new executive directors, Chris Martin and John McBain, have agreed to serve on the Investment Committee and all the other directors. continue to serve on all Committees.

Corporate Governance

The Board and management continue their commitment. to the best practices in corporate governance and our policies are set out in detail elsewhere in the report.

Condusion

The successful implementation of our strategies to:

  • invest back into our existing businesses for future growth - particularly into our reverse mortgage. business:
  • pursue inorganic growth where we can identify acquisition targets that meet our strategic and financial criteria - such as the acquisition of Century Funds Management and;
  • the re-focus of our business activities in the expanding over fifty community are already delivering encouraging results.

The Board is confident that our progress can be accelerated under the new management team and Frecord our appreciation of their commitment, and the contribution of all staff to this good outcome.

introduction

I am pleased to provide you with my first report as Managing Director and to report that your company achieved a net profit of \$7.3 million for the year ended 30 June 2006. Given the level of reinvestment that we have made into the business it is very pleasing that we have been able to deliver such a strong result. We have had a very busy twelve months with the Board and staff having worked hard to establish an exciting platform for growth.

The friendly society (through management fees), commercial lending and property divisions were the major contributors to profitability. We continued to invest in our reverse mortgage business with our increased marketing and distribution expenditure reflected in the growth of the loan portfolio.

When reviewing our financial accounts, shareholders should note that they reflect the first full year's reporting under the AIFRS. These standards require the benefit funds of Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society to be consolidated (although the shareholders of OFM have no rights to the assets and liabilities held in the benefit funds) which has resulted in an increase in reported assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenditure, compared to that reported under the previous AGAAP standards. This requirement does not impact on the Company's reported net profit or net assets.

Our Strategy

While we are all aware that the developed world is ageing, many people believe that the change is mainly a result of the baby boomers progressing to retirement. While this is having an enormous effect, the ageing of those people born in the years after the Second World War is only part of the larger long term movement towards older populations. Global population ageing is a trend that heralds fong term shifts in individual and societal attitudes and behaviours. Not only is this trend restructuring our society, we believe it is going to play an important role. in the evolving landscape of the corporate sector.

We believe the most successful companies of the future will work hard to redefine their brand, products and processes to meet the changing needs of the over fifty community. There is little doubt that the ageing of our population represents the single largest driver of growth and profitability of the financial services sector over the next twenty years.

We gladly accept the challenges of meeting the needs of our customers and we are buoyed by a sense of pride in our history and excitement in our future. We see our future in providing product and service breakthroughs. that will become the industry's benchmark for meeting the continually changing needs of our ageing population.

Chris Martin Managing Director

Major initiatives

Since my appointment we have completed a number of initiatives that are in line with our new strategic direction and include:

Our new brand

With a strong heritage dating back to our beginnings. in 1980, we have continually provided financial solutions to the over fifty community. We have achieved this under a number of brands; Over Fifty Mutual, the Over Fifty Mutual Friendly Society, and more recently OFM Investment Group.

As you may be aware, we are proposing to change our name to Over Fifty Group. We believe this change captures the best of our heritage while at the same time embracing our future. It signals our intention of becoming the pre-eminent provider of financial and lifestyle solutions to the over fifty community.

First and foremost, we aspire to deliver a range of financial products and services that enables individuals to structure their finances in a way that gives them. real choice and control over their lifestyles.

Acquisition of Century Funds Management

On 10 July 2006 and following the conclusion of the vear under review, we announced the acquisition of 100% of Century Funds Management for \$42.6 million. Century was a Sydney based and privately owned property funds management company with approximately \$440 million in funds under management as at 30 June 2006. The acquisition aligns with our corporate strategy given that property backed. investments play an important role in delivering both income and capital growth to our target market.

Century's expertise and underlying profitability will also benefit us through facilitating a transition. away from one off property transactional revenues towards a more sustainable earnings stream from funds management activities.

I would like to welcome the entire Century team to our company.

Risk Management and Compilance

It is a primary responsibility of the Board and senior management to adequately mitigate the strategic and operational risks faced by the business in its day to day activities.

We continue to enhance our risk management practices, focussing on key business risks and the strengthening of controls and monitoring. Governing this is a process of periodic review, ensuring that all areas of the business are covered and that new business activities have been appropriately addressed.

The periodic business risk review process enables us. to define our risks and then determine their likelihood, consequences and overall risk rating, using the Australian Standard for Risk Management as a guide. Having assessed and rated all the risks, the Board and management then determine whether there are further actions which can be undertaken to mitigate these.

In order to maintain independence, the compliance function reports directly to the Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee and to the Board.

Our risk management and compliance framework is designed to provide a robust internal control environment under which the business can suitably manage the risks inherent in the investment and financial services industry, whilst optimising the performance of the company and its products for return to shareholders and investors alike.

Conclusion

The combination of our existing client base together with the ageing of our population provides us with the opportunity to build on our success to date. On behalf of the management team, I can assure shareholders that we will continue to work hard to ensure that the Over Fifty Group realises its enormous potential.

On a personal level and notwithstanding that we are now a listed company, I believe it is important that we do not forget our history as a mutual. Our core value system is based on developing long term relationships, designed to benefit the individuals who elect to invest, insure or have some other relationship with us. I will work hard to maintain the standards you have come to expect from us.

Hook forward to a productive and rewarding year and take this opportunity to thank all our employees and shareholders for the great support they have given our company over the past 12 months.

shaping the meaning of mutuality

Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society

The Friendly Society's primary business is the management of investment bonds on behalf of the policy holders in line with each benefit fund's agreed investment strategy. Currently there are two distinct investment bond series offered by the Society.

  • 1 Flexible Investment Bond series,
  • $\overline{2}$ Blueprint Bond series.

The above series offer a variety of unit-linked and bonus-based investment bonds backed by a range of asset classes - cash and fixed interest. Australian equities, alternative assets, international equities, property and mortgages. With this variation in underlying investment assets each benefit fund is targeted to deliver different outcomes to policy holders.

The Friendly Society continues to generate an important recurring income stream for the Group, and although investment bonds remain a niche product, signs are emerging that broader market acceptance and innovation may see this product class grow in popularity.

We worked hard to become a market leader in the development of educational material which assists both policy holders and their advisers to better understand the unique benefits associated with investment bonds. This focus on education, as well as proposed changes to the superannuation legislation announced in the May 2006 budget, has seen the interest grow in this tax paid investment across the financial advice industry.

Our distribution partners are beginning to view investment bonds as a viable, alternative, tax-advantaged vehicle that investors can use to complement superannuation, wealth accumulation and estate planning strategies.

We anticipate the growing interest in investment bonds will continue throughout the current year and, as such, are positioning ourselves to capitalise on our market position. We are making additional enhancements to our educational collateral to deepen the understanding of investment bonds and their applications.

Guardian Friendiv Society

The Company continues to derive revenue from the management of services it provides to The Over 50's Guardian Friendly Society Limited ("Guardian"). Guardian's sole purpose is to provide. statutory benefit funds for receiving and investing monies supporting pre-paid funeral contracts written by member companies of InvoCare Limited, Australia's largest funeral operator.

As a highly valued strategic partner we will work closely with InvoCare to ensure we best leverage the existing relationship to benefit both current and future policy holders.

Activities in Property

Our property team continued to be active and was a significant contributor to corporate earnings in the financial year under review.

In September 2005, the sale of an office building at 533 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne generated a profit of approximately \$1.3 million. In December 2005, we disposed of the office component of 333 Exhibition Street, Melbourne and in April 2006 we further partially disposed of our investment with the sale of the retail component on the ground floor of the building. The sale of the office and retail components realised a profit of some \$1.3 million.

In January 2006, and in order to establish our proposed National Leisure Trust, we acquired two properties located in Victoria. The first property, costing \$13.2 million, is located at the Moonah Links Golf resort at Rye and comprises three golf lodges which contain 36 luxury suites and conference facilities. The second property, called the Sands Hotel, is currently under development and cost \$16.9 million. It is located at The Sands Torquay Golf Course at Torquay and will comprise a 100 room hotel when completed in 2007.

In February 2006 we acquired an office building located at 45 Grenfell Street in Adelaide. The final settlement took place in July 2006 and the property will be included in the OFM Direct Property Trust.

At year end our remaining property investments being 333 Exhibition Street, Melbourne and the Chisholm Shopping Centre in the ACT, were revalued to \$24 million and \$14.5 million respectively. This revaluation generated an unrealised capital gain of \$2.3 million, reflected in the profit and loss account.

The acquisition on 10 July 2006 of Century Funds Management, a privately owned property funds. management company with approximately \$440 million under management at 30 June 2006, highlights our commitment to generating sustainable earnings from property related activities.

Over the coming year we will seek to grow our property funds management activities and continue to offer investors the opportunity to participate. in a range of commercial, industrial and office. backed investment opportunities designed to deliver both yield and capital growth to investors.

Reverse Mortgages

Retirees are becoming increasingly concerned about how they are going to fund their needs when they stop working. With a high percentage of retirees living on a fixed income or government pension it is often difficult. for them to make ends meet. Many people faced with this situation are electing to release some of the equity from their home.

Reverse mortgages enable people over the age of 60 to access some of the equity trapped in their home without having to sell the home. In most cases, neither the principal nor the interest needs to be repaid until either the home is sold or passes to the estate of the borrower.

Over the last few years we have made a significant investment into establishing a reverse mortgage business. We have created an award winning product and have developed an enviable distribution platform. that encompasses mortgage brokers, financial planners, credit unions and building societies. While we will continue to build breadth of distribution we recognise it is very important to also develop depth with our existing distribution partners.

Reflecting the growth of our reverse mortgage business and the fact that demand outgrewour ability to continue to rely on internal sources to fund our customers' requirements, it was necessary to establish a third party wholesale funding facility. We are pleased to have established a long term funding program with a leading Australian bank and we will continue to work closely with our financier to even further improve our award winning product.

We continue to advertise and market our Seniors Home Equity Release Loans (SHERL) across a range of different media. We have also partnered with the Mortgage Industry Association of Australia in providing training courses to mortgage brokers and financial planners who are interested in learning more about reverse mortgages.

Notwithstanding the increasing competition that we face we believe that the combination of our award winning. product, brand name and our distribution platform. positions us well to benefit from the increasing demand. by retirees to release some of the equity in their home.

Comnercial Mortgage Lending

Our commercial mortgage lending activity encompasses the provision of commercial investment and construction loans which are funded from both the Group's balance sheet and publicly offered funds.

The Mortgage Income Fund is a conservative fund, which lends on commercial investment property Australia wide, to a maximum 70% loan to value ratio. During the first half year, the Fund completed a successful ratings process, whereby it received a 3-star rating. from Standard & Poor's and a 5-star rating from InvestorWeb. The main purpose of procuring a formal rating from a recognised rating group is to enable investor groups and financial planners to place the fund on their platform of approved products. Without a recognised rating, third party intermediaries are generally unable to recommend a fund to their investor clients.

The Mortgage Income Fund continued to perform well throughout the year, with investment returns above 7%* being recorded. The division pursued new relationships with commercial fending introducers and was successful in increasing the number of accredited commercial mortgage brokers, the fund's primary mode of distribution of new commercial loans.

Our construction lending program has increased throughout the year with an increase in approved foans and higher mortgage balances recorded. This is despite a general easing in property sales and construction. activity throughout parts of eastern Australia. The construction lending activity is funded from the Friendly Society Investment Bonds, and has been one of the established activities of the company since inception.

Loans are written in most Australian states, and predetermined geographic and sector benchmarks were all satisfied throughout the year. It is the Group's desire to maintain a well diversified pool. of mortgages so as to mitigate against the risk of specific geographic sector downturns.

The Commercial Mortgages team is exploring a rangeof new product initiatives and we look forward to further growing our lending base.

During the year under review and in order to position ourselves as both a visible and viable solution for our target customer, we increased our marketing expenditure.

The first property, costing \$13.2 million, at the Moonah Links Golf Resortat Rye, comprises three golf lodges which contain 36 luxury. suites and conference facilities. The second property, costing \$16.9 million, the Sands Hotel located at The Sands Torquay Golf Course will comprise a 100 room hotel when the development is completed in 2007. These properties form the base portfolio of the OFM National Leisure Trust.
  • . The continuing investment made in the successful development and marketing of the reverse mortgage business enabled loans. on the balance sheet to grow substantially in the twelve months. to June 2006. As part of this development OFM established a wholesale funding facility with a leading bank to support the growth of this business which was completed in June 2006. The establishment of the facility has enabled the redeployment of capital previously utilised by this business.

The financial accounts reflect the first full year's reporting under the Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIPRS"). These standards require the benefit funds of Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society to be consolidated (although the shareholders) of OFM have no rights over the assets and liabilities held in the benefit funds) which has resulted in an increase in reported assets. and liabilities, as well as income and expenditure, compared to that previously reported under AGAAP standards. This requirement does not impact on the Company's reported net profit or net assets.

Further comments on the operations of the consolidated entity during the financial year and of the results of its activities are set out elsewhere in the Annual Report.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

In the opinion of the Directors there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity that occurred during the financial year not otherwise disclosed in the Annual Report or the consolidated entity's financial report.

Events subsequent to balance date

Century Funds Management Limited

On 10 July 2006 OFM acquired 100% of the shares of Century Funds Management Limited, a privately owned property funds management business which had approximately \$440 million of funds under management.

The purchase price was \$42.4 million paid as to \$26.8 million in cash and \$15.6 million in shares.

OFM Unverified Members Trust

The OFM Trust has been holding OFM shares since 1 July 2001 on behalf of unverified members from the demutualisation of Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society Limited. During the 5 years to 1 July 2006 the Trust was required to transfer the shares and any associated dividends to all unverified members who became verified. Post 1 July 2006 the Board had to decide, under clause 7.4 of the OFM Trust Deed, how the remaining shares and capital accretions relating to those shares still held by the Trust were to be applied for the benefit of all shareholders of OFM. The Board decided that the 1,938,383 shares remaining in the Trust would be transferred as part of the equity settlement relating to the purchase of Century noted above. The value of these shares and the capital accretions that related to them were transferred to the relained earnings of OFM and approximate \$5 million. It is expected that the board will pay this amount to existing shareholders as a special dividend.

45 Grenfell Street

On July 10 2006 OFM settled the acquisition of 45 Grenfell Street, Adelaide and transferred the property to OFM Direct Property Trust for \$24 milion.

Apart from the above, since the end of the financial year, the Directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in the financial statements that has significantly, or may significantly, affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.

Likely developments

The Directors are optimistic about the outlook for the company and look forward to working with the new Managing Director and his senior management team to help maximise the creation of value for shareholders.

The Company will continue to invest in its new brand, distribution channels and product development with the objective of positioning the Company as a leading provider of financial and lifestyle solutions to the over fifty community.

Indemification and insurance of officers

OPM has agreed to indemnify all current and former Directors and Executive Officers of the Company and its controlled entities against all liabilities to persons (other than the Company or a related body corporate) which arise out of the performance of their normal duties as Director or Executive Officer unless the liability relates to conduct involving a fack of good faith. OFM has agreed to indemnify the Directors and Executive Officers against all costs and expenses incurred in defending an action that falls within the scope of the indemnity and any resulting payments.

The Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of premium paid in respect of the Directors' and Officers' Liability and Legal Expenses insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

This report outlines the renuneration arrangements in place for directors and executives of OFM Investment Group Limited ("the Company").

Remuneration philosophy

OFM recognises the important role people play in the achievement of its long-term objectives and as a key source of competitive advantage. To grow and be successful, OFM must be able to attract, motivate and retain capable individuals.

To this end, the company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

  • · Competitive rewards are provided to attract and retain executive talent:
  • · Remuneration is finked to performance so that higher levels of performance attract higher rewards;
  • . Rewards to all staff but particularly executives are linked to the creation of value to shareholders:
  • . The criteria used to assess and reward staff include financial and non-financial measures of performance;
  • The overall cost of remuneration is managed and linked to the ability of the company to pay; and
  • Severance payments due to the CEO on termination are limited to pre-established contractual arrangements which do not committhe Group to making any unjustified payments in the event of nonperformance.

Renuneration committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of the Directors' and CEO's remaneration on a periodicbasis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the refersion of a high quality Board and CEO. Further details on the remuneration of directors and executives are also provided in note 29. to the financial report.

Non-executive director remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors. of the highest calibre, whilst incorring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount defermined is then divided between the directors as agreed. Clause 63.2 of the Constitution provides an aggregate maximum. amount of not more than \$750,000.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst. Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process and, where considered appropriate. advice from external consultants.

Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of all Group companies and an additional fee is paid to the Chairman and to the Chairman of each Board Committee. The payment of the additional fee to each Chairman recognises the additional time commitment and responsibility associated with the position.

The current non-executive Directors are also entitled to remaneration under the Directors Retirement Pund that was in place prior to OFM. becoming a listed public company to appropriately compensate directors for significant periods of service and be consistent with current corporate and industry standards. The formula calculates the period of service from 1 April 2002 to current date, divided by 9 years. and that percentage is applied to the sum of the normal directors fees over the last two years. Any benefits accrued to 31 March 2002 were preserved and the above formula applied from that date.

The Directors Retirement Fund only applies to those Directors appointed to the Board prior to 30 June 2004. The retirement benefit scheme is not available to any director appointed after 30 June 2004. OPM will contribute statutory superannuation for directors appointed after 30 June 2004.

The remuneration of Directors for the period ending 30 June 2006 is detailed in Table 1 of this report.

Sentor management and executive director remuneration

The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to:

  • · Reward executives for company, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriatebenchmarks;
  • · Align the interests of executives with those of stakeholders;
  • . Link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the company; and
  • · Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

In determining the level and make-up of executive remaneration. the CEO seeks independent advice regarding market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles.

The CEO has an employment contract which includes options as part of his remuneration package and these need to be approved at the AGM in October 2006.

Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed and variable remuneration and short and long-term performance-based incentives. The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration is established for each manager by the CEO after consultation with the Remuneration. Committee. Table 2 details the fixed and variable components of the 5 most highly remunerated executives of the Group and the company.

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges. related to employee benefits including motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. This is reviewed annually by the CEO and the process consists of a review of companywide, business unit and individual performance as well as relevant comparative remuneration in the market. The same process is used by the Remuneration Committee when reviewing the fixed remuneration of the CEO.

The CEO and senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cashand salary sacrifice items such as motor vehicles and/or additional superannuation contributions. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal without creating undue cost for the Group.

Variable remuneration

Under OPM's Senior Management Remuneration Policy, long and short term performance incentives may be made under the Group's. bonus plans.

Short-term incentives ("STI")

The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Group's operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the senior manager to achieve operational targets and such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances.

Actual STI payments granted to each senior manager depend on the extent to which specific operating targets set at the beginning of the financial year are met. The operational targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators ("KPI's") covering both financial and non-financial measures of performance. Typically included are measures such as contribution to net profit after tax, customer service, risk management, product management and feadership/ team contribution.

On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPi's, an overall performance rating of each individual business unit and the individual performance of each executive is rated and these are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the short termincentive pool that is to be allocated to each executive. This process is normally completed within 2 months after the reporting date.

The appregate of annual STI payments available to executives across the group is subject to the approval of the Remuneration Committeeand payments are made in cash in the following reporting period.

For the 2005 financial year 88% of the STI cash bonus vested in executives and other employees and was paid in the 2006 financial year. An STI pool for the 2006 financial year was approved by the Remuneration Committee at \$500,000 and, based on the performance criteria, was allocated and paid in August 2006. A separate STI payment of \$100,000 was approved for the CEO and also paid in August 2006. These amounts are included in Tables 1 and 2, as appropriate.

Long-term incentives ("LTI")

At the 2003 AGM OFM shareholders approved a Performance Rights Plan to which the long-term incentives relate. Under this plan, the Board has been given discretion in granting to employees rights to receive, in the future, a specified number of ordinary shares. The number of shares to be delivered pursuant to the rights is subject to satisfying performance hurdles and time-related vesting conditions. In summary, if OPM achieves a growth in earnings per share ("EPS"). of 13% per annum and a Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") which matches that of a basket of similar companies, the performance rights will convert into shares at the target date in the future. The LTF plan was set up to reward all employees in a manner that aligns the elements of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

The allocation of rights under the plan is approved by the Boardafter recommendations by the CEO. The first allocations under the Plan were granted in May 2006 (refer to Note 16(b) of the financial statements for details of the rights granted and the vesting dates if the performance hurdles are met).

The rights granted are valued by an external consultant in line with the requirements of Accounting Standard AASB2. The company then applies an estimation of the tenure risk associated with employees still being employed at the time the rights vest for those subject to TSR and EPS performance hurdles, and the probability of OFM attaining the required increase in EPS. The resultant value is charged to the profit and loss evenly across the vesting period. The amounts calculated above relating to the five most highly remunerated executives are included in Table 2.

*These were allocated to Mr Martin prior to his appointment as Managing Director on 28 June 2006.

**Mr Ongarello resigned in August 2006 and the rights have fapsed.

No comparatives are presented as performance rights were issued 26 May 2006.

The proportion of Rights that vest at the end of the relevant performance period will be determined by the Company's performance measured in terms of EPS and Total Shareholder Return (TSR), ranked against the ASX Financial (excluding Property Trusts) Accumulation Index.

EPS performance criteria

EPS is based on normalised operating earnings before tax. The EPS performance hurdle and subsequent percentages of the rights that become exercisable depend on the following vesting scale:

  • . If OPM achieves less than 10% growth in EPS per annum, no Rights vest.
  • . If OPM achieves 10% growth in EPS or greater, 70% of Bights vest.
  • . If OPM achieves 11% growth in EPS or greater, 80% of Bights vest.
  • . If OPM achieves 12% growth in EPS or greater, 90% of Rights vest.
  • . If OFM achieves 13% growth in EPS or greater, 100% of Rights vest.

Total shareholders return (TSR) performance criteria

The TSR performance hurdles and percentages of the Rights that become exercisable upon meeting the performance hurdles are as follows:

  • . If TSR rank is less than the index, no Rights vest.
  • . If TSR rank is equal to or greater than the index, all Rights vest.

Fair market value

Fair market value is the price that would be negotiated at the valuation dates in an open and unrestricted market between a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious buyer and a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious seller acting at arm's length.

The fair market value of the Rights at the valuation dates are set out below:

The valuation approach employed is an adjusted form of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (BSM) that includes a Monte Carlo Simulation analysis. The Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model has been modified to incorporate an estimate of the probability of achieving the TRS hurdle.

The Monte Carlo model is based on the assumption that share price movements are log normally distributed, a similar assumption that underpins the BSM.

The BSM takes into account the following factors:

  • . The rights have no exercise price;
  • . The time to expiry for the Rights accords with their respective vesting dates;
  • . The price of the underlying shares at grant date (\$2.34);
  • . The expected volatility of the share price (28%);
  • . The dividend yield expected on the shares (4.7%); and
  • . The risk-free interest rate for the life of the rights (5.1%).

Rounding of amounts

The parent entity is a company of the kind specified in the Australian Securities and Investments Commission class order 98/0100. In accordance with that class order, amounts in the financial report and Directors' Report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless specifically stated to be otherwise.

Corporate governance

The Directors have, in striving to achieve the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, complied with the principles and practices set out in the corporate governance statement contained in the following section of this annual report.

Auditors independence declaration

The Directors have obtained a declaration of independence from the consolidated entity's auditors, Ernst & Young, in accordance with section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, which forms part of this report. A copy of this declaration is attached to this report.

Non - audit services

The following non-audit services were provided by the entity's auditor, Emst & Young. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act. The nature and scope of each type of non-audit services provided means that auditor independence is not compromised.

Denis Thorn Partner Melbourne 29 August 2006

With the exception of Recommendation 9.4, OFM has complied with each of the Council's recommendations and the spirit of the guidance to each recommendation throughout the 2005/06 year.

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The directors deemed to be independent are identified in the Directors' Report in the Annual Report. Directors are required to disclose at each Board meeting any interests that may affect their independence.

Under OPM's Senior Management Remuneration Policy, long and short term performance incentives may be made under the Group's bonus plans.

Rights were issued for the first time under that Plan in the 2005/2006. friancial year. Rights that were referrable to employment in the 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 financial years have performance measurement periods that are shorter than those originally contemplated in the Explanatory Memorandum provided to shareholders at the time of approval of the Performance Rights. Pian. The Board determined to adopt the shorter performance measurement period on an exceptional basis because the rights referred to prior years' service. Rights referrable to subsequent and current years' service have performance measurement periods that are consistent with those described in the Explanatory Memorandum.

Short-ferm incentives may be paid by way of bonus in either cash. and/or shares. The method of payment of the bonus is determined on an annual basis having regard to the profitability, capital management and other objectives of OFM.

The total number of shares issued under all employee share schemes will not exceed 5% of the total number of issued shares of the Company at any time, when aggregated with shares issued over the previous 5 years under any employee share plan or any that are to be vested under the long-term incentive plan.

The retirement benefit scheme is not available to any director appointed after 30 June 2004. OFM will contribute statutory superannuation for directors appointed after 30 June 2004. Full details of each director's retirement benefits expensed for the financial year is provided in the Directors' Report of this Annual Report.

Principle 10: Recognise the legitimate interests of stakeholders

1. Statement of stanfficant accounting policies (cont)

(c) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial report is that of the consolidated entity, comprising OFM Investment Group Limited (the parent company). and the entities it controlled at the end of the financial year. Where controlled entities have different accounting policies than the parent company these have been amended to ensure that consistent policies are adopted on consolidation. All inter-entity balances and transactions, including unrealised profits, have been eliminated in full.

The total assets and liabilities and income and expenses of the benefit funds of the Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society Limited ("the Society"), are recognised in the financial statements.

The benefit fund operations of the company comprise the issue and administration of contracts governed under the Life Insurance Act 1995 (Life Act). For the perposes of the financial statements these are classified as either benefit funds with discretionary participation. features (bonus funds) or benefit funds without discretionary. participation features (unit linked funds).

Within the bonus funds, annual bonus rates are declared by the company with guidance of the Appointed Actuary and within the restrictions pursuant to the Life Act; this is considered a discretionary participation feature (DPF) and cause these funds to meet the definition of tite insurance contracts under AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts.

The value of policyholder's funds in the unit linked funds is solely. dependent on the market valuation of the underlying assets, therefore, there is no discretionary participation feature and these funds do not meet the definition of life insurance contracts under AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts.

The company derives fee income from the administration of the benefit funds. For the purposes of this financial report, holders of both bonus and unit linked funds are referred to as policyholders.

Monies held in the benefit funds are subject to distribution and transfer restrictions pursuant to the Life Act.

Where control of an entity was obtained during the year, its results have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commenced. Where control of an entity ceases during the year, its results are included for that part of the year during which control existed.

The consolidated entity comprises the parent company and the following controlled entities:

  • 俗。 Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society Limited (consisting of its management fund and the benefits funds).
  • (ii) OFM Capital Limited
  • (iii) Over 50's Insurance Agency Pty Etd.
  • (iv) Lifetime Planning Pty Ltd*
  • M OFM Investments Pty Ltd
  • (vi) OFM Funds Management Ltd
  • (vii) OFM Direct Property Trust No.2 "Dominion"
  • (viii) OFM Seniors Equity Release Pty Ltd
  • (ix) OFM Direct Property Trust No.3 "Chisholm"
  • (x) OFM National Leisure Trust**
  • (xi) OFM Bluegums Leisure Trust***
  • (xii) Senex Warehouse Trust No. 1****

"On 26 September 2005, OFM Investment Group Limited purchased 100% equity in Eiletime Planning. As at 30 June 2006 Eiletime Planning was consolidated as a fully owned subsidiary. The purchase method was used to account for the acquisition and the purchase method of accounting involves. allocating the cost of the business combination to the lair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acoustion.

**Date of constitution 12 December 2005

  • *** Date of constitution 12 December 2005
  • **** Date of constitution 29 June 2006

OFM has majority representation on the Board of The Over 50's Guardian Friendly Society Limited ("Guardian"). However, as Guardian is a mutual organisation, OPM has no legal rights to Guardian's net assets and therefore does not control Guardian. It is, therefore, considered inappropriate to include Guardian in the consolidation.

(d) Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are oftendetermined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are noted. helow:

(i) Significant accounting judgements

Operating lease commitments - Group as Lessor

The entity has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The entity has determined that if retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties. and has thus classified the leases as operating leases.

(ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

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

impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill with an indefinite useful life is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill with an indefinite useful life is allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill are discussed in note 12.

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using an adjusted form of the Black-Scholes Option. Pricing Model (BSM) that includes a Monte Carlo Simulation analysis, using the assumptions detailed in note 29.

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the orant date using the Black-Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in note 29.

(iii) Summary of Significant Actuarial Methods and Assumptions

A Financial Condition Report is being prepared by the Society's Appointed Actuary, Mr Guy Thorbern. This report covers benefit fund liabilities and prodential reserves. The effective date of the report is 30 June 2006.

The amount of the benefit fund liabilities has been determined in accordance with the methods and assumptions disclosed in this Financial Conditions Report.

Policy liabilities for benefit funds, other than the Funeral Benefit Fond, are valued using the accumulation method and are equal to the contributions made by members, net of fees, together with bonus additions to date. The balance of the fund is the unvested policyholder benefit liabilities (or surplus). Each year's bonus declaration results in a movement from unvested policyholder benefit liabilities to the vested policy liability. The bonus rate is subject to the amount vesting being no more than the distributable portion of unvested policyholder benefit liabilities.

For the Funeral Benefit Fund, the policy liability has been taken to be the value of assets of the fund net of other liabilities less the value of the current period bonds. This liability represents the present value of quaranteed benefits (pre-bonus) plus the present value of future bonuses. Following declaration of the bonus, there would then beno surplus under this arrangement. The Society currently expects to deduct 1.5% of the fund's assets from investment earnings for expense allowances. It has been assumed that interest will be earned in future years at rates after tax sufficient at least to meet this level of expense.

The main variables that defermine the bonus rate for a benefit fund are the value of the net assets of each benefit fund at the end of the year, the amounts standing to the credit of each investment account. through the previous year and the investment return (net of fees and taxes where applicable) earned by the fund throughout the year. The excess of the net assets of the benefit fund over the liabilities after meeting the prudential standards is the surplus that is generally able to be distributed to members as a bonus.

There is no provision in the funds' rules for any surplus to be transferred to the Management Fund. The Management Fund receives specified fee transfers from the funds to cover expenses. All remaining assets are to be used to provide benefits to members. Hence there is no profit and consequently, no need for a profit carrier.

Changes in economic conditions and demographics will alter the unafocated surplus. The Capital Requirements are designed to ensure there is sufficient unallocated surplus to cover the effect of these changes.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash on hand and in banks and short-term deposits is stated at nominal value and have a maturity of 3 months or less.

For the purpose of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cashequivalents include cash on hand and in banks, deposits held at call, deposits held at call in cash management trusts and investments in money market instruments which are readily convertible to cash on hand, net of bank overdrafts.

(f) Trade and other receivables

Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less allowance for uncollectible amounts. Receivables are reviewed regularly for objective evidence that collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred. Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due.

1. Statement of stanfficant accounting policies (cont)

(g) Financial assets

Financial assets at fair value through the profit and loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets held for trading are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition. charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as held for trading, are measured at fair value and any gains or losses are recognised in the incomestatement. Fair value is determined based on the type of investment; quoted securities at bid price, unlisted unit trusts are at redemption price.

Changes in fair value of investments:

Gains or losses on investments held for trading are calculated as the difference between the fair value at sale, or at year end, and the fair value at the previous valuation point. This includes both realised and unrealised gains and losses.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets comprise mortgages and investments in managed funds. Mortgages are held at amortised cost using the effective yield method. A provision for doubtful debts is made at year end for specific amounts when there is objective evidence that collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred. Investment in managed funds are held at fair value with movements in fair value recognised in the incomestatement based on the prevailing unit bid price.

De-recognition of a financial asset

Financial assets are derecognised when the Group no longer controls. the contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument, which is normally the case when the instrument is sold, or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed through to an independent third party. Any gains or losses on de-recognition are taken to the income statement in the period they arise.

(h) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments of the benefit funds, consolidated into the financial statements of the Group under AIFRS, are used only for hedging of actual or articipated exposures relating to investments. All financial arrangements are backed up by cash or assets (as appropriate) with a fair value at least equal to the notional value of the asset which underlies the financial instrument. Financial instruments are not used for speculative trading and/or gearing.

Specific derivative financial instruments which may be used, and the conditions for their use, have been approved by the Australian Prudersial Regulation Authority. The principal derivative financial instruments used are interest rate futures and exchange traded options.

The Board of Directors has established strict policy and procedural guidelines for the use of derivative financial instruments. These policies expressly limit the specific instruments which may be used and limit their use to the hedging of actual or anticipated exposures. The use of financial derivative instruments to leverage the investment portfolios is not permitted as the financial instruments must be backed by an underlying asset or by cash.

Exposure to interest rate risk and share market risk is managed within the parameters approved by the Board of Directors. The risk management process is subject to close senior management. scretiny, including regular management reporting.

All derivatives are recognised on the balance sheef. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured to their fair value. Movements in the carrying amounts of derivatives are recognised in the income statement.

For the year ended 30 June 2006. The Group has not applied hedge accounting to it's derivative financial instruments.

(i) Property investments

Property investments are held to earn rentals and / or for capital appreciation rather than for use in supply of services or sale in the ordinary course of business.

Investment properties are valued initially at cost including transaction. costs. Subsequent to initial recognition investment properties are stated at fair value, determined by annual independent valuations. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the investment properties are included in the income statement in the year in which they arise.

Investment properties are derecognised when they have either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently. withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the derecognition of an investment property are recognised in the income statement in the year of derecognition.

Accounting Standards do not require investment properties to be depreciated. Accordingly, the buildings and components (including plant and equipment on acquisition) are not depreciated.

(j) Investment in associates using the equity method

The Group's investment in Mortgageport Management Pty Limited. and OFM Direct Property Trust is accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. These are entities in which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture.

The financial statements of the associates are used by the Group to apply the equity method. The reporting dates of the associates and the Group are identical and the associate's accounting policies. conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events. in similar circumstances. The investment 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. After application of the equity method the investment is reviewed to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss. The consolidated income statement reflects the Group's share of the results of operations of the associates.

Where there has been a change recognised directly in the associate's equity, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable in the consolidated statement of changes in easity.

(k) Plant and equipment

All plant and equipment which is measured at cost, is depreciated on a straight line or reducing balance basis, as appropriate, over its estimated useful lives. Estimates of remaining useful lives are madeon a regular basis for all assets. The expected useful lives are asfollows:

Plant and equipment 5-15 years

Profits and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are taken into account in determining the profit for the year.

Impairnent

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset, impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.

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

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

De-recognition

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

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 item) is included in the income statement in the year. the item is derecognised.

(I) Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost being the excess of the costs of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if everits or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

(m) Revenue

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

Management fees:

Management fees are recognised in the month they are eamed.

Interest:

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.

Dividends:

Revenue is recognised when the shareholders' right to receive the payment is established.

Rental income:

Rental income arising on investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(n) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires. an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

1. Statement of significant accounting policies (cont)

(n) Leases (cont)

(i) Group as a lessee

Operating leases are novated motor vehicle leases that have been provided as part of salary packaging, and lease of office premises.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense.

(ii) Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised asan expense over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.

(o) Trade and other payables

Liabilities for creditors are carried at amortised cost and represents liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid.

(p) Taxes

(i) Income Tax

Income tax in the Income Statement comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the Income Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current income tax for the period is the expected tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the current income tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date and any adjustments to the tax payable from prior years.

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities for taxation. purposes and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

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

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction. that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable. profit or loss; or
  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary. difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised. to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference. will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

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

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

The Benefit Funds are part of the tax consolidated group, they are allocated a share of the income tax liability attributable to the Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society Limited equal to the income tax liability that would have arisen to the Benefit Funds had they been stand-alone.

(ii) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

  • where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or part of the expense item as applicable; and
  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

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

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

(q) Interest-bearing liabilities

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method, amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs.

Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised and as well as through the amortisation process.

(r) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the economic entity has a present legal, equitable or constructive obligation to make a future sacrifice. of economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions. or other past events, it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

A provision for dividends is not recognised as a liability unless the dividends are declared, determined or publicly recommended on or before the reporting date.

(s) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

(t) Earnings per share

Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members. adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with distive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

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

(u) Employee benefits

Provision is made for employee benefits accurridated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave.

(i) Wages, salaries and annual leave

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date and recognised in other payables in respect of employees' service up to the reporting date. They are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services. provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the market yield as at the reporting date on national government bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, are used.

Employee benefit expenses and revenues arising in respect of the following categories:

  • wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave, fong service leave and other feave benefits; and
  • other types of employee benefits

are recognised against profits on a net basis in their respective categories.

Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense when the contributions are paid or become payable.

The value of equity based compensation scheme described in Note-16b is not being recognised as an employee benefits expense.

(v) Contributed equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

(w) Solvency and Capital Adequacy

Friendly Societies are required to hold prudential reserves over and above their policy liabilities, as a buffer against adverse experience. and poor investment returns. The minimum level of reserves required to be held is taid down by the Life Insurance Act 1995 and accompanying actuarial standards. These standards are Actuarial Standard 2.03 and 3.03. These standards have been met as at 30 June 2006.

  1. Statement of significant accounting policies (cont)

(x) Assets backing policy liabilities

The Group has determined that all assets held by the benefit funds represent the assets backing policy liabilities.

Assets backing policy liabilities are measured at fair value through prefit or loss.

(y) Product classification

The accounting treatment of certain transactions varies depending on the nature of the contract underlying the transaction. The major contract classifications are insurance contracts and investment contracts.

Insurance contracts:

Insurance contracts are those containing significant risk at the inception, or those where at the inception of the contract there is a scenario with commercial substance where the level of insurance risk may be significant. Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during the period.

Investment contracts:

Contracts not considered insurance contracts are classified as investment contracts. The accounting treatment of investment contracts depends on whether the investment has a discretionary participation feature (DPP). DPF means a contractual right to receive, as a supplement to quaranteed benefits, additional benefits:

  • (a) that are likely to be a significant portion of the total contractual benefits:
  • (b) whose amount or timing is contractually at the discretion of the issuer; and
  • (c) that are contractually based on:
  • (i) the performance of a specified pool of contracts or a specified type of contract;
  • (ii) realised and/or unrealised investment returns on a specified pool of assets held by the issuer; or
  • (iii) the profit or loss of the company, fund or other entity that issues the contract.

Applications and redemptions on investment contracts with DPF are accounted for through the income statement. The gross change inthe liability to these policyholders for the period, which includes any participating benefits vested in policyholders and any undistributed surplus attributed to policyholders, is recognised in the incomestatement.

Applications and redemptions on investment contracts without DPF are accounted for through the balance sheet as a movement in policyholder liabilities. Distributions on these contracts are charged to the income statement as a movement in the policyholder liability. Premiums relating to the investment component are accounted for as a deposit through the balance sheet.

(z) Policyholders' funds

Assets held by the benefit funds are included in total assets in the Balance Sheet of the group in accordance with AIFRS. A corresponding liability labelled "policyholders' fands" is shown in total liabilities in the Balance Sheet. Note 17 shows the movement in bonus funds (with DPF) and unit linked funds (without DPF).

The liability to bonus fund policyholders is closely linked to the performance and value of the assets (after tax) that back those liabilities. The fair value of such liabilities is therefore the same as the fair value of those assets after tax, on the basis charged to policyholders. In accordance with the rules of the funds, any remaining scrplus is attributed to the policyholders of the fund. In accordance with AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts applications to these fund are recorded as income, redemptions from these funds and amounts distributable to policyholders are recorded as an expense.

The policyholder funds liabilities for onit linked funds are equal to the number of units held, multiplied by the unit redemption price based on market value of the fund's investments as at the valuation date. Applications to these fund are not recorded as income, redemptions from these funds are not recorded separately as expenses, but amounts distributable to policyholders are recorded as an expense. No guarantees are provided by the Society in respect of the unit linked funds.

Claims incurred in respect of the benefit funds represent investment withdrawals (redemptions) and are recognised as a reduction in policyholder liabilities. Redemptions in respect of bonus funds are also disclosed as an expense as set out above.

Amounts received in respect of the benefit funds represent investment deposits (applications) and are recognised as an increase in policyholder fiabilities. Applications in respect of bonus funds are also disclosed as revenue as set out above.

Benefit fund expenses which are directly attributable to an individual policy or product are allocated directly to the benefit fund within which that class of business is conducted. The apportionment basis has been made in line with the principles set out in the Life Insurance. Actuarial Standards Board (LIASB) Valuation Standard (Actuarial Standard AS1.04) and the apportionment is in accordance with Division 2 of Part 6 of the Life Act.

(aa) Unit prices

Unit prices are determined in accordance with the fund's rules and are calculated as the net assets attributable to unit holders of the fund, divided by the number of units on issue.

2. Impact on adoption of AIFRS

This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Group in restating its AGAAP balance sheet as at 1 July 2004 and its previously published AGAAP financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2005.

Accordingly, the Group has prepared financial statements that comply with AIFRS applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. and the significant accounting policies meeting those requirements are described in note 1. In preparing these financial statements, the Group has started from an opening balance sheet as at 1 July 2004, the Group's date of transition to AIFRS, and made those changes in accounting policies and other restatements required by AASB 1 First-time adoption of AIFRS.

AASB 1 Transitional exemptions

The Entity has made its elections in relation to the transitional exemptions allowed by AASB 1 as follows:

Business Combinations

AASB 3 "Business Combinations" was not applied retrospectively to past business combinations.

Financial instruments

The company has not elected to apply the exemption available under AASB 1 and has applied AASB 132 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation", AASB 139 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" and AASB 1038 "Life Insurance Contracts" to these financial statements.

Policyholder funds

Under AIFRS, AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation' due to policyholders having the right to redeem their investments, all policyhoider funds will be recognised as liabilities of the fund, rather than as equity. The classification of net assets attributable to policyholders does not alter the underlying economic interest of the policyholders in the net assets and net income attributable to policyholders of the fund. As distributions paid make up a proportion of policyholder funds, they will be classified as an expense in the Incorne Statement.

The impacts of adopting AIFRS on the total equity and profit after tax as reported previously at 30 June 2005 are illustrated below

Impact on net assets under AIFRS

(1) Under AIFRS we are required to aggregate all the assets and liabilities and income and expenses of the benefit funds of the Society. As the net profit of the benefit funds make up a portion of policyholders liabilities, they will be classified as an expense in the Income Statement, applications to the bonus funds will be classified as revenue and redemptions from the bonus funds will be classified as an expense.

(2) AIFRS specifically precludes the use of a general provision for doubtful debts. As a consequence the amount of the general provision was reversed against retained earnings.

(iv) Explanation of material adjustments to the Cash Flow Statements

The income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the benefit funds ender AIFRS are included in the Group's income statement and balance sheet. As a result, the benefit funds' cash flows are also included in the Group cash flow statements. This has resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents compared to that previously reported.

*The deferred income tax liability in relation to investment properties represents the temporary difference arising from depreciation claimed for income tax purposes, but not charged for accounting purposes, on the investment properties.

(v) Tax consolidation

Effective 1 July 2003, for the purposes of income taxation, OFM and its 100% owned subsidiaries formed a tax consolidation group. Members of the group have entered into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly-owned subsidiaries on a prorata basis. In addition, the agreement provides for the afocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. As at balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is OFM Investment Group Limited.

(vi) Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group

OFM trivestment Group Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003. The entities have also entered into a tax sharing and funding agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, the wholly owned entities reimburse OFM Investment Group Limited for their share of the income tax expense arising in respect of their activities. This is recognised as a current tax related receivable / payable by OFM investment Group Limited and is reimbursed by the wholly owned entities each quarter. In the opinion of the directors, the tax sharing agreement is also a valid agreement under the tax consolidation legislation and limits the joint and several liability of the wholly owned entities in the case of a default by OFM Investment Group Limited.

Taxable income for the tax consolidated group includes the profit generated by Over 50s Mutual Friendly Society benefit funds, which is distributable to policyholders of the benefit funds. The profit of these funds form part of the consolidated profit for the calculation of the tax expense.

On 15 August 2006 OFM issued 28,400 fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to its 2006 short term incentive employee share plan.

Apart from the above, there have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares between the reporting date and the date of completion of these financial statements.

Terms and conditions

All investments are initially recognized at fair value, being the fair value of the consideration paid excluding transaction costs. After initial recognition, the financial assets held for trading are revalued to fair value af each reporting date.

For investments where there is no quoted market price, fair value is determined by reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same or is calculated based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the investment. The fair value of units in managed investment funds is determined by reference to published bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date being the redemption price as established by the underlying fund's responsible entity.

The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market prices at the balance sheet date without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. Financial assets are priced at current bid prices, while financial liabilities are priced at current asking prices.

In the absence of quoted market prices, the fair value of financial instruments is estimated using valuation techniques, including use of recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow techniques, option pricing models or an other valuation technique that provides a reliable estimate of prices obtained in actual market transactions.

Current year disposals relate to the sale of the property investment of the OFM Direct Property Trust No 2 "Dominion" located at 533 Little Lonsdale Street and the office premises and convenience store located at 333 Exhibition St.

Each property is pledged as security for the loans described in Note 14.

Revaluations

During the year independent valuations were obtained to determine fair value of the property investments. The valuation approaches utilised were capitalisation of net income, discounted cash flow analysis (10 years) and direct comparison.

Fair value represents the amount at which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and knowledgeable willing selfer in an arm's length transaction at the date of valuation, in accordance with Australian Valuation Standards.

The Group engages Knight Frank, an accredited valuer, to fair value its property investments, except Chisholm in the ACT. This property was valued by an OFM executive Anthony Ongarello, who is also an accredited valuer. Any movement in the fair value of the properties is charged directly to the profit and loss.

The effective date of the revaluation was 30 June 2006.

Goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing. No impairment loss was charged for the 2006 financial year.

Goodwill acquired through business combination has been allocated to individual cash generating units, which are reportable segments, for impairment testing as follows:

(i) Financial planning (ii) Mortgages

12. Goodwill (cont)

Financial planning

The recoverable amount of the financial planning unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using Funds Under Advice (FUA) projections and profit and loss projections covering a five year period.

Mortgages

The recoverable amount of the mortgage unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using loan book projections and profit and loss projections covering a five-year period.

The following describes the key assumptions made in the assessment of impairment of goodwill.

Financial planning

Revenue balance: Revenues are assumed to increase at a rate of 10% per annum-
Expenses arowth targets: - Expenses are assumed to increase at a rate of 5% per annum-
Discount Rate: I A discount rate of 15,25% is applied to cashfow projections

(b) Employee long term incentives

OFM shareholders approved a Performance Rights Plan at the 2003 AGM to which the long-term incentives relate. Under this plan, the Board have been given absolute discretion in granting to employees rights to receive, in the future, a specified number of ordinary shares. The number of shares to be delivered pursuant to the rights is subject to satisfying performance hurdles and time-related vesting conditions. In summary, if OFM achieves a growth in earnings per share of 13% per annum and a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) which matches that of a basket of similar companies, the performance rights will convert into shares at the target date in the future.

Full detail of the number of shares issued, the vesting dates and the performance hurdles are detailed below:

Under AIFRS the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the benefit funds are included in the Group's income statement and balance sheet and statement of cashflows. As a result, the benefit funds' assets and liabilities are included in the Group's statements. This has resulted in an increase in reported assets and liabilities compared to that previously reported under AGAAP. The shareholders of the Group have no rights over the assets and liabilities held in the benefit funds. The composition of the assets and liabilities balance is as follows;

Guarantees to benefit fund policyholders

Two of the benefit funds, the OFM Capital Guaranteed Bond Fund and the OFM Income Accumulation Fund provide quarantees to policy fund holders as follows: "If, when OFM in right of the Bonds is required under the Bond rules to pay Policy Benefits to a Policy Owner as a consequence of the termination of the Bond or the Maturity or Surrender of a Policy, and OFM determines that the sums to be paid to the Policy Owner from the Bonds shall be less than the amounts standing to the credit of the relevant Accumulation Account Balance, (or in the case of a partial surrender, the relevant proportion of the Accumulation Account Balance), OFM guarantees to take all action within its control, including making payment from its Management Fund to the Policy Owner to ensure that the total sums received by the Policy Owner as a consequence of the termination, Maturity or Surrender equal the relevant Accumulation Account Balance, (or) in the case of a partial surrender, the relevant proportion thereof." There are \$671 million (2005: \$708 million) of policyholders funds relating to these guarantees.

Derivative financial instruments of the benefit funds, consolidated into the financial statements of the Group under AIFRS, are used only for hedging of actual or articipated exposures relating to investments. All financial arrangements are backed up by cash or assets (as appropriate) with a fair value at least equal to the notional value of the asset which underlies the financial instrument. Financial instruments are not used for speculative trading and/or gearing.

Specific derivative financial instruments which may be used, and the conditions for their use have been approved by the Australian Pruderstal Regulation Authority. The principal derivative financial instruments used are interest rate futures and exchange traded options.

The Board of Directors has established strict policy and procedural guidelines for the use of derivative financial instruments. These policies expressly limit the specific instruments which may be used and limit their use to the hedging of actual or anticipated exposures. or the enhancement of investments. The use of financial derivative instruments to leverage the investment portfolios is not permitted as the financial instruments must be backed by an underlying asset or by cash.

All derivatives are recognised on the balance sheet. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured to their fair value. Movements in the carrying amounts of derivatives are recognised in the income statement.

All of the above derivative instruments relate to the use of derivatives for investment purposes, whereby they are used for the hedging of actual or anticipated exposures relating to investments.

Exposure to interest rate risk and share market risk is managed within the parameters approved by the Board of Directors. The risk management process is subject to close senior management. scretiny, including regular management reporting.

The Group matches policyholder funds by maintaining a separate portfolio of assets for each benefit fund.

Credit Risk Exposures

Credit risk arises from the possibility of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments. The consolidated entity deals only with prime financial institutions when entering into derivative financial instruments and does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. Credit risk on mortgage loans is managed through prudential lending guidelines, appropriate mortgage security arrangements and loan default credit risk insurance.

The credit risk on financial assets of the consolidated entity recognised on the Balance Sheet is generally the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. Concentration of risk may exist when the volume of transactions fimits the number of counterparties. Concentration of credit risk in relation to mortgage loans is demonstrated by the following bands:

Loan balance outstanding
$$0 - $250,000$
\$500,001 - \$1,000,000

Bills of exchange, which have been purchased at a discount to face value, are carried on the balance sheet at an amount less than the amount realisable at maturity which reflects discounting to present value. The fotal credit risk exposure of the consolidated entity on such instruments could also be considered to include the difference between the carrying amount and the realisable amount; however, such differences are not material.

Liquidity Risk Exposures

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that because of market conditions the consolidated entity may be forced to self financial instruments at a value below their enderlying worth or may be unable. to exit the positions at all. To counter this risk, financial instruments are used only in highly liquid markets and maturity restrictions are inplace in both exchange traded and over-the-counter markets.

Interest Rate Risk Exposures

The consolidated entity's exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out in the following table.

The Group's policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.

Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is repriced at intervals of less than one year. Interest on financial instruments classified as fixed rate is fixed until maturity of the instrument. The other financial instruments of the Group and Parent that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

Net Fair Values

The net fair values of recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, in all cases, approximate their carrying amounts. There are no unrecognised financial assets or financial liabilities.

26. Events subsequent to balance date

Century Funds Management Limited

On 10 July 2006 OFM acquired 100% of the shares of Century Funds Management Limited, a privately owned property funds management business for \$42.4 million which had approximately \$440 million of funds under management at 30 June 2006. OFM paid \$26.8 million in cash and 15.6 million in shares.

OFM Unverified Members Trust

The OFM Trust has been holding OFM shares since 1 July 2001 on behalf of unverified members from the demutualisation of Over 50s. Mutual Friendly Society Limited. During the 5 years to 1 July 2006 the Trust was required to transfer the shares and any associated dividends. to all unverified members who became verified. Post 1 July 2006 the Board had to decide, under clause 7.4 of the OFM Trust Deed, how the remaining shares and capital accretions relating to those shares still held by the Trust were to be applied for the benefit of all shareholders of OFM. The Board decided that the 1,938,383 shares remaining in the Trust would be transferred as part of the equity settlement relating to the purchase of Century noted above. The value of these shares transferred and the capital accretions that related to them will be transferred to the refained earnings of OFM and approximate \$5 million. It is expected that the board will pay this amount to existing shareholders as a special dividend.

On 10 July 2006 OFM settled the acquisition of 45 Grenfell Street Adelaide and transferred the property to OFM Direct Property Trust for \$24 milion.

Apart from the above, since the end of the financial year, the Directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in the financial statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.

(b) Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

Remuneration Philosophy

OFM recognises the important role people play in the achievement of its long-term objectives and as a key source of competitive advantage. To grow and be successful, OFM must be able to attract, motivate and retain capable individuals.

** Resigned 16 February 2006

To this end, the company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

  • Competitive rewards are provided to attract and retain executive talent; $\bullet$
  • Remuneration is linked to performance so that higher levels of performance attract higher rewards;
  • Rewards to all staff but particularly executives are linked to the creation of value to shareholders;
  • The criteria used to assess and reward staff include financial and non-financial measures of performance;
  • The overall cost of remuneration is managed and linked to the ability of the company to pay, and
  • Severance payments due to the CEO on termination are limited to pre-established contractual arrangements which do not commit the Group to making any unjustified payments in the event of non-performance.

Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for defermining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of the directors' and CEO's remuneration on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and CEO.

  1. Directors and executives disclosures (cont)

Details of the nature and amount of each major element of remuneration of each director of the Company and each of the KMP's are:

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable. to shareholders.

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. Clause 63.2 of the Constitution provides an aggregate maximum. amount of not more than \$750,000.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive Directors of comparable companies when underfaking the annual review process and, where considered appropriate, advice from external consultants.

Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of all Group companies and an additional fee is paid to the Chairman and to the Chairman of each Board Committee. The payment of the additional fee to each Chairman recognises the additional time commitment and responsibility associated with the position.

The current non-executive directors are also entitled to remaneration. under the Directors Retirement Fund that was in place prior to OFM. becoming a listed public company to appropriately compensate directors for significant periods of service and be consistent with current corporate and industry standards. The formula calculates the period of service from 1 April 2002 to current date, divided by 9 years. and that percentage is applied to the sum of the normal directors fees over the last two years. Any benefits accrued to 31 March 2002 were preserved and the above formula applied from that date.

The Directors Retirement Fund only applies to those Directors. appointed to the Board prior to 30 June 2004. The retirement benefit scheme is not available to any director appointed after 30 June 2004. OFM will contribute statutory superannuation for directors appointed after 30 June 2004.

The remuneration of Directors for the period ending 30 June 2006 is detailed in Table 1 of this report.

Senior Management and Executive Director Remuneration

The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to:

  • reward executives for company, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate henchmarks:
  • alion the interests of executives with those of stakeholders;
  • link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the company; and
  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the CEO seeks independent advice regarding market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles.

The CEO has an employment contract which includes options as part of his remuneration package and these need to be approved at the AGM in October 2006.

Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed and variable remuneration and short and long-term performance-based incentives. The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration is established for each manager by the CEO after consultation with the Remuneration. Committee. Table 2 details the fixed and variable components of the 5 most highly remenerated executives of the Group and the company.

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges. related to employee benefits including motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. This is reviewed annually by the CEO and the process consists of a review of companywide, business anit and individual performance as well as relevant comparative remuneration in the market. The same processis used by the Remuneration Committee when reviewing the fixed remuneration of the CEO.

The CEO and senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cashand salary sacrifice items such as motor vehicles and/or additional superannuation contributions. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal without creating undue cost for the Group.

Variable Remuneration

Under OFM's Senior Management Remuneration Policy, long and short term performance incentives may be made under the Group's bonus plans.

Short-term Incentives ("STI")

The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Group's operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the senior manager to achieve operational targets and such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances.

Actual STI payments granted to each senior manager depend on the extent to which specific operating targets set at the beginning of the financial year are met. The operational targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators ("KPI's") covering both financial and nonfinancial measures of performance. Typically included are measures such as contribution to net profit after fax, customer service, riskmanagement, product management and leadership/team contribution.

On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPI's, an overall performance rating of each individual business unit and the individual performance of each executive is rated and these are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the short termincentive pool that is to be allocated to each executive. This process is normally completed within 2 months after the reporting date.

The aggregate of annual STI payments available to executives across the group is subject to the approval of the Remuneration Committee and payments are made in cash in the following reporting period.

For the 2005 financial year 88% of the STI cash bonus vested in executives and other employees and was paid in the 2006 financial year. An STI pool for the 2006 financial year was approved by the Remuneration Committee at \$500,000 and, based on the performance criteria, was allocated and paid in August 2006. A separate STI payment of \$100,000 was approved for the CEO and also paid in August 2006. These amounts are included in Tables 1 and 2, as appropriate.

Long-term Incentives ("LTI")

At the 2003 AGM OPM shareholders approved a Performance Rights Plan to which the long-term incentives relate. Under this plan, the Board has been given discretion in granting to employees rights to receive, in the future, a specified number of ordinary shares. The number of shares to be delivered pursuant to the rights is subject to satisfying performance hurdles and time-related vesting conditions. In summary, if OPM achieves a growth in earnings per share ("EPS"). of 13% per annum and a Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") which matches that of a basket of similar companies, the performance rights will convert into shares at the target date in the future. The LTI plan was set up to reward all employees in a manner that aligns the elements of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

The allocation of rights under the plan is approved by the Boardafter recommendations by the CEO. The first allocations under the Plan were granted in May 2006 (refer to Note 16(b) of the financial statements for details of the rights granted and the vesting dates if the performance hurdles are met).

The rights granted are valued by an external consultant in line with the requirements of Accounting Standard AASB2. The company then applies an estimation of the tenure risk associated with employees still being employed at the time the rights vest for those subject to TSR and EPS performance hurdles, and the probability of OFM. attaining the required increase in EPS. The resultant value is charged to the profit and loss evenly across the vesting period. The amounts calculated above relating to the 5 most highly remunerated executives are included in Table 2.

*The bonuses included above in the 2006 year reflect bonuses for performance during the 04/05 and 05/06 years. A provision for bonus was accrued at 30 June 2005 but there were no guaranteed amounts to any employee and the actual performance review and allocation was not completed until September 2005. A provision for bonus was accrued at 30 June 2006 and the performance review for 2006 was completed and allocations made in August 2006 and are thus also included above.

**Participating rights granted as part of remuneration have been valued using an adjusted form of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (BSM) that includes a Monte Carlo Simulation analysis. The Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model has been modified to incorporate an estimate of the probability of achieving the TSR hurdle.

No comparatives are presented as performance rights were issued 26 May 2006.

The proportion of Rights that vest at the end on the relevant performance period will be determined by the Company's performance measured in terms of EPS and Total Shareholder Return (TSR), ranked against the ASX Financial (excluding Property Trusts) Accumulation Index.

EPS performance criteria

EPS is based on normalised operating earnings before tax. The EPS performance hurdle and subsequent percentages of the rights that become exercisable depends on the following vesting scale:

  • . If OPM achieves less than 10% growth in EPS per annum, no Rights vest.
  • . If OPM achieves 10% growth in EPS or greater, 70% of Rights vest.
  • . If OPM achieves 11% growth in EPS or greater, 80% of Rights vest.
  • If OPM achieves 12% growth in EPS or greater, 90% of Rights vest.
  • . If OFM achieves 13% growth in EPS or greater, 100% of Rights vest.

Total Shareholders Return (TSR) performance criteria

The TSR performance hurdles and percentages of the Rights that become exercisable upon meeting the performance hurdle are as follows:

  • If TSR rank is less than the index, no Rights vest.
  • If TSR rank is equal to or greater than the index, all Rights vest.

Fair Market Value

Fair market value is the price that would be negotiated at the valuation dates in an open and unrestricted market between a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious buyer and a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious seller acting at arm's length.

The fair market value of the Rights af the valuation dates are set out below:

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
30000000000000000000000000000000000000
Tranche 2 26 May 2006

The valuation approach employed is an adjusted form of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (BSM) that includes a Monte Carlo Simulation analysis. The Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model has been modified to incorporate an estimate of the probability of achieving the TRS hurdle.

The Monte Carlo model is based on the assumption that share price movements are log normally distributed, a similar assumption that underpins the BSM.

The BSM takes into account the following factors:

  • $\bullet$ The rights have no exercise price;
  • The time to expiry for the Rights accords with their respective vesting dates;
  • The price of the underlying shares at grant date (\$2.34);
  • The expected volatility of the share price (28%);
  • The dividend yield expected on the shares (4.7%); and
  • The risk-free interest rate for the life of the rights (5.1%). $\bullet$

Independent audit report to members of OFM Investment Group Limited

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for OFM Investment Group Limited (the company) and the consolidated entity, for the year ended 30 June 2006. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year.

The directors of the company are responsible for preparing a financial report that gives a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the company and the consolidated entity, and that complies with Accounting Standards in Australia, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards in Australia, and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

  • examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report; and
  • assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

Ell ERNST & YOU INC.

We performed procedures to assess whether the substance of business transactions was accurately reflected in the financial report. These and our other procedures did not include consideration or judgement of the appropriateness or reasonableness of the business plans or strategies adopted by the directors and management of the company.

Independence

We are independent of the company and the consolidated entity and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor's Independence Declaration a copy of which is included in the Directors' Report. In addition to our audit of the financial report, we were engaged to undertake the services disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The provision of these services has not impaired our independence.

Audit opinion

In our opinion:

  • the financial report of OFM Investment Group Limited is in accordance with: 1.
  • ${a}$ the Corporations Act 2001, including:
  • $\mathbf{u}$ giving a true and fair view of the financial position of OFM Investment Group Limited and the consolidated entity at 30 June 2006 and of their performance for the year ended on that date: and
  • $(ii)$ complying with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
  • (b) other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia.
