Revenue from ordinary activities is broken down between Revenue from shareholder activities (refer 2.6 (i)) and Benefit Fund revenue.
The Benefit Fund revenue reduced significantly for the period by 27.62% (versus 2008) as a direct result of impairments on the carrying value of investments resulting in a combined realised and unrealised loss of \$30.2 million.
Current Accounting Standards require the consolidation of the Financial Statements and activities of OFG with the Over Fifty Mutual Friendly Society Benefit Funds. Accordingly, major movements in revenue from ordinary activities in this period are the result of a reduction in value of equity and fixed interest investments held by the Benefit Funds in line with the current decline in values in the debt and equity markets.

ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
Corporate governance statement
For the year ended 30 June 2009
This statement sets out the eight core principles identified by the ASX Corporate Governance Council ("the Council") as underlying good corporate governance and outlines the approach of Over Fifty Group Limited (OFG) to each of the principles.
As recognised by the Council, corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and managed. It influences how the objectives of the company are set and achieved, how risk is monitored and assessed and how performance is optimised. There is no single model of good corporate governance. At OFG, corporate governance will evolve with our changing circumstances and will be tailored to meet those circumstances.
PRINCIPLE 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
The role of the Board
The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the strategic direction and establishing the policies of OFG. It is responsible for overseeing the financial position, and for monitoring the business and affairs of OFG on behalf of the shareholders, by whom the directors are elected and to whom they are accountable. It also addresses issues relating to internal controls and approaches to risk management. It ensures that there are processes in place to conform to legal requirements and corporate governance standards and that risk exposures are adequately managed.
For full details of the role of the Board please refer to our Board Charter, a link to which is contained under the Corporate Governance page of our website.
Delegation to Senior Executives
The role of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Senior Executives is to manage OFG in accordance with the direction given by the Board.
The CEO's responsibilities include:
- formulating and reviewing, with the Board, the vision and strategy for OFG;
- developing actions and plans to achieve the vision and implement the strategy and to report to the Board on the progress against those plans;
- appointing a management team and negotiating terms and conditions of their employment; and
- approving the remuneration levels of all staff.
Performance Review of Senior Executives
The performance of the CEO is reviewed periodically by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board. This assessment is made against pre-determined criteria including Key Performance Indicators relating to OFG's performance as determined in OFG's Strategic Plan.
Performance reviews of Senior Executives are carried out by the CEO who reports the findings to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The CEO conducts the reviews each year by comparing performance against agreed measures, evaluating any efficiencies or improvements during the course of the year and deciding upon targets for next year.
PRINCIPLE 2: Structure the board to add value
Directors
The Directors' Report in the Annual Report contains details of the directors' skills, experience and qualifications. It also states the date the individual director was appointed to the board, their status as non-executive or executive directors and the committees on which they sit. The directors seek to ensure the Board consists of directors with an appropriate range of experience, skills, knowledge and vision to enable it to operate OFG's business with excellence. The number of directors is limited by OFG's constitution to a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 13. The Board considers that the ideal size is 5 to 8 directors.
Currently the Board consists of 5 directors. Three of the five directors, namely Roger Dobson, Peter Done and Deepak Gupta are considered to be independent as per independence criteria set out in the Board Charter. The three independent directors do not have relationships with OFG which affect their independent status, such as substantial shareholdings or direct employment. They do not provide material professional consultancy services, they are not a material supplier or customer and they do not have a material contractual relationship with OFG or other group member except as a director.. Our CEO, John McBain and Jason Huljich are executive directors. Directors are required to disclose at each Board meeting any interests that may affect their independence. Independent directors reconfirm their independent status to the board by way of a written confirmation on an annual basis.
Directors are selected and appointed in accordance with documented procedures. For full details on the procedures for the selection and appointment of directors please see our policy, a link to which is contained under the Corporate Governance page of our website.
Chairman
OFG's chairman, Roger Dobson is considered to be an independent director for the reasons given above. There is a clear division of responsibility at the head of the company as the roles of chairman and the CEO are not performed by the same person. The Board Charter also provides that the chairman shall be an independent non-executive director. A Statement of Position Authority is in place for the CEO which details the responsibilities and authorities for that position.
Corporate governance statement
For the year ended 30 June 2009
Nomination Committee
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee formulates criteria for appointment of directors to the Board, identifies potential candidates and recommends remuneration of directors and senior management. Appointments to the Board are made on the understanding that a minimum of one term of three years and a maximum of three terms (9 years) will be served. A link to the charter of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee can be found on the Corporate Governance page of our website.
Specific activities include:
• Annual review of Board composition to ensure that the necessary skills are represented, together with the appropriate continuity and balance;
- Assessment of the effectiveness and composition of Board committees;
- Regular evaluation of the performance of the CEO;
- Recommending remuneration for non-executive directors;
- Recommending a competitive remuneration and reward program for the CEO and other senior management; and
- Ensuring that other human resource management programs, including performance assessment programs, are in place.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee consists of three directors, all of whom are independent and is chaired by an independent director. Detail of membership of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee including meeting attendance is set out in at the end of the Corporate Governance Statement. Each director's skills, experience and expertise is contained in the Director's Report.
Board Performance
The Board reviewed and assessed its performance for the 2008/09 financial year. Detailed consideration was given to the following areas:
- The Board's composition;
- The operations and effectiveness of the Board and its Committees;
- Decision making processes, including agendas, frequency of meetings and content of papers;
- Communications between Board and executives;
- Determination of company strategy; and
- The Board's policies for board renewal.
Continuing education to update and enhance director knowledge is seen as an important factor in ensuring optimum performance by each director. This year, continuing education opportunities included training sessions in a subsidiary company's bond products.
Clause 5 of the Board Charter gives directors the authority to seek professional advice as considered necessary in the performance of its duties at OFG's expense. The directors also have full access to the company secretary to assist them to carry out their role.
Re-election of Directors
The Company's constitution stipulates that a number of directors not exceeding one-third of their number should retire by rotation at each annual general meeting (AGM). A director must offer themself for re-election at the third AGM since their election or re-election, unless they have served three terms at which time the director must retire from the board. The CEO, if also a director, is not subject to the retirement by rotation process, and is not included when calculating the number of directors required to retire by rotation.
PRINCIPLE 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making
Code of Conduct
The Board has established a Directors and Employee Code of Conduct that sets the standard by which all officers and employees of the company are to conduct themselves in the course of their duties. Potential breaches of the Code of Conduct can be reported to management, the Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee or an external auditor using the guide outlined in OFG's Whistleblower Policy. A link to the Code of Conduct can be found under the Corporate Governance page of our website.
Trading in OFG's Securities
The Board has established a policy concerning trading in the Company's securities by directors, officers and employees. The policy prohibits Directors and employees trading in OFG shares if they are aware of any price sensitive information regarding the shares and also, at nominated times when a 'black-out period' is imposed. A link to OFG's Directors & Staff Share Trading Policy can be found under the Corporate Governance page of our website.
Corporate governance statement
For the year ended 30 June 2009
PRINCIPLE 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
Audit, Risk Management and Compliance Committee
Our Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee consists of three non-executive directors, has a majority of independent directors and is chaired by an independent chair who is not the chair of the OFG Board. All members are financially literate holding financial or accounting qualifications and have professional experience in a financial or accounting related field. The Committee chairman, Peter Done is a chartered accountant with over 40 years of experience. Deepak Gupta has 20 years' experience in the financial services and investment management industry. The third member of the committee, Roger Dobson is the senior partner in the banking and finance practice at the legal firm in which he is a partner. The Committee meets quarterly with the external and internal auditors of the Group present. Detail of the Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee member's names, appointment date, status, qualifications and meeting attendance is set out a the end of this Corporate Governance Statement.
Charter
The Board has formulated an Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee Charter, a link to which is contained under the Corporate Governance page of our website.
External Auditor
Procedures have been established in relation to the external auditor selection, appointment and lead partner rotation. A link to the procedures relating to the external auditor selection, appointment and lead partner rotation can be found under the Corporate Governance page of our website.
PRINCIPLE 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
The Board has established written policies and procedures on information disclosure. The focus of these procedures is to effect OFG's commitment to:
• Comply with the general and continuous disclosure principles contained in the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act;
- Prevent the selective or inadvertent disclosure of price sensitive information;
- Ensure that all market participants have equal opportunity to receive externally available information issued by OFG.
A summary of our Continuous Disclosure Policy can be found under the Corporate Governance page of our website.
Responsibility for compliance with OFG's continuous disclosure obligations rests with the Company Secretary. Price sensitive information is publicly released through the ASX before disclosing it to analysts or others outside the company. Information is posted on OFG's website as soon as reasonably practicable after the stock exchange confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information accessible to the widest audience.
PRINCIPLE 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
OFG aims to provide prompt, accurate and accessible information to its shareholders. It has established a Communications Policy detailing steps to be taken to achieve this objective, a copy of which can be viewed under the Corporate Governance page of our website. The main mechanisms through which OFG communicates with its shareholders are:
- The Annual Report and Half-year Financial Reports;
- Announcements made to the Australian Stock Exchange;
- Notices and explanatory memoranda of annual general meetings (AGMs);
- The Annual General Meeting; and
- OFG's website at www.overfifty.com.au
OFG's website forms an important part of the strategy for communicating with shareholders. OFG's website has a shareholders page which includes share details, company reports, company announcements and press releases (including copies of any significant presentations made to analysts or a template of such presentations), and items relating to AGM's.
In designing notices and explanatory statements / memoranda of AGMs, OFG gives consideration to the guidelines given by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in its Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations.
At the time of providing a notice of meeting and explanatory memoranda for the AGM a form is provided for shareholders to mail back to OFG if they wish to raise any issues. At the AGM, the Company will, where appropriate, endeavour to address issues raised by shareholders in these forms. During the course of the AGM the floor is opened for questions.
Corporate governance statement
For the year ended 30 June 2009
PRINCIPLE 7: Recognise and manage risk
The OFG Board has established a Risk Management Framework for the Group, a summary of which can be viewed under the Corporate Governance page of our website. Risk management is an integral part of the governance of OFG and is one of the main responsibilities of the Board and Senior Management. The Board is ultimately responsible for approving and reviewing OFG's Risk Management Framework. The monitoring and management of risk on an ongoing basis is the responsibility of management as represented by the heads of the respective business units of OFG.
At OFG, managing risk is a continuous process for both Management and the Board. OFG's comprehensive risk management framework requires a detailed annual business risk review, which seeks to define all the major risks that could prevent or impact the Company from achieving its objectives. This review has been completed for this financial year and the Board has accepted management's report that material business risks have been managed effectively.
The management of risk is then continually addressed during the year at the business unit level. Periodically, an external audit firm is engaged to review the effectiveness of OFG's risk management framework. Combined with this, is an embedded compliance culture to ensure OFG meets the requirements of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for conducting a financial services business and operating managed investment schemes. A robust compliance framework has been implemented which requires the business to monitor its activities and those of its outsourced service providers. The compliance function at OFG reports directly to the Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee and the Board.
An internal audit function has also been established with a focus on OFG's control environment. The annual internal audit plan is determined having regard to the risk profile of the business arising from the annual business risk review.
The Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee has the below risk management responsibilities:
• Assessing risks arising from the Group's operations and ensuring the adequacy of measures taken to moderate those risks;
• Reviewing and assessing the effectiveness of the Group's Risk Management Framework and internal control practices and ensure there is a continuous process for the management of significant risks throughout the Group; and
• Monitoring compliance with the Company's Risk Management Framework.
Quarterly risk management reporting is provided to the Audit, Risk Management and Compliance Committee by management.
The CEO and CFO have declared in writing to the Board for both the half-year and full-year financial statements that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.
PRINCIPLE 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
Remuneration Committee
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee consists of three directors, all of whom are independent and is chaired by an independent director. Detail of membership of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee including meeting attendance is set out at the end of this Corporate Governance Statement.
Remuneration related responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee include:
- Recommending fees for directors;
- Recommending a competitive remuneration and reward program for the CEO and other senior management; and
• Ensuring that other human resource management programs, including performance assessment programs and incentive schemes, are in place.
OFG recognises the important role people play in the achievement of its long-term objectives and as a key determinant of competitive advantage. To grow and be successful, OFG must be able to attract, motivate and retain capable individuals.
Senior Executive remuneration structure
The key principles that underpin OFG's Senior Executive Remuneration Policy are:
- competitive rewards are provided to attract and retain executive talent;
- 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.
The remuneration policy assists OFG to achieve its business strategy and objectives. OFG recognises that, while remuneration is a key factor in recruiting the right people, it is not the only factor. OFG values and its ability to provide interesting and challenging career opportunities, also play an important role.
Corporate governance statement
For the year ended 30 June 2009
Non-executive director remuneration structure
The Board has established a policy relating to the remuneration of non-executive directors. OFG pays non-executive directors fees at a level which is sufficient to attract individuals with the appropriate skills, and to fairly reimburse those directors for services provided. Non-executive director's remuneration does not include incentive schemes or performance related payments.
Executive directors are paid a salary commensurate with their position and responsibilities and at a level which attracts high calibre executives with appropriate skills and experience. Executive directors also participate in OFG's long-term and short term incentive plans.
Further information regarding director and senior executive remuneration can be found in the remuneration Report.

Company secretary
Mr Terry Reid, Chartered Accountant, has been the Company Secretary since December 2007. He is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.
Corporate Structure
Over Fifty Group Limited is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company has prepared a consolidated financial report incorporating the entities it controlled during the financial year, which are outlined in the following illustration of the Group's corporate structure. All entities are 100% owned unless otherwise stated.

Note: "------" represents partial ownership, "----" represents 100% ownership.
Principal activities
The consolidated entity's principal activities being the Over Fifty Group Limited ("OFG") as the parent entity, and of its controlled entities, in the course of the financial year, were the marketing and management of investment products (including friendly society investment bonds and property investment funds), general insurance through agency arrangements, mortgage lending and management, property investment and management of Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited.
Review of operations
The consolidated net loss for the year is \$12,413,000 (2008: loss \$2,707,000) after providing for an income tax benefit relating to shareholders of \$6,938,000 (2008: income tax expense \$1,882,000).
The consolidated net profit after tax for the year from ordinary earnings (before write offs and impairments) is \$7,189,000 (2008: \$8,017,000).
The main sources of revenue were from the operations of the Over Fifty Mutual Friendly Society, Reverse Mortgages and the Property Funds Management divisions contributing up to 88% of the Group's revenue.
Funds under management declined by 11% during the year to approximately \$1.9 billion (2008: \$2.1 billion). Operational highlights for the financial year were as follows:
Friendly Society
- As at 30 June 2009, Over Fifty Mutual Friendly Society administered \$781 million of friendly society benefit funds and has continued to be a core activity of the Group since 1980. Over the past 2 years the OFG Executive and Management has strengthened its investment and operational staff strategically aimed at improving investment management capability and member communication and services.
- The Friendly Society is in the process of providing a range of further investment products aimed at facilitating specific investment capability for rollover superannuation funds and education savings plans. A new PDS will shortly be available from the OFG website or by calling our Investor Services Team on 1300 50 50 50.
Property Funds Management
- Property Funds Management (being the combination of both Century Funds Management Limited and Eclipse Property Group Limited) continue to be a major revenue contributor for the Group's revenue and manages a portfolio of approximately \$878 million. During the last financial period, as a result of the downturn in the investment market, the division did not make any acquisition revenue which typically has always been a contributor to the Group's revenue.
- OFG continues to hold three properties on balance sheet, being part of the accommodation resort, Peppers The Sands Resort, in Torquay for \$16.0 million, Moonah Links for \$11.0 million and Chisholm Shopping Centre in Canberra for \$19.0 million. All three assets have been impaired as at 30 June 2009 by a total of \$6.837 million; being \$2.068 million, \$2.603 million and \$2.166 million respectively. The Chisholm Shopping Centre has exchanged contracts at a selling price of \$19.0 million and remains conditional as at 30 June 2009.
- On 30 June 2009, OFG acquired the remaining 49% of Eclipse Property Group Ltd, thereby holding 100% as at balance date. The eventual final purchase price will be determined at the completion of the Group financial statements in September 2010, as the determinant is based upon the average of three years profits ending 30 June 2010. The Eclipse business manages funds with an aggregate \$219 million funds under management.
Mortgage Businesses
- Following the Board's decision to suspend lending for new loans in July 2008, the Reverse Mortgages division has significantly reduced its employed resources and is managing the existing portfolio of approximately 3,000 loans aggregating \$215 million in value. As a result of the significant reduction in operation and sales personnel, the division is contributing profitably to the Group's results. Financing from ANZ has been rolled over to March 2010.
- 50% associate Mortgageport continued to contribute profitably to the Group's result for the year. It has been impacted by the credit downturn, and subsequently its profit contribution is down year on year with a decrease 45% to \$374,000 (2008: \$684,000).
- In April 2007, OFG announced the closure of its commercial mortgage lending unit and continued to wind down its book.
Insurance/Financial Planning
The company has continued to successfully operate its insurance agency during the year. The company is committed to further growing this business which is demonstrating a strong and reliable reoccurring income stream with consistent annual growth.
Review of operations (cont'd)
Significant expenses/adjustments incurred
- Specific provisions and write-offs totalling \$6.2 million to cover the expected non-recovery of mortgage advances relating to the commercial mortgage division which is currently being wound down.
- Impairment for investment in unlisted property trust \$2.3 million.
- Ineffective fair value of financial derivatives \$2.8 million.
- Fair value adjustments to the investment properties held on balance sheet that required a write-down of \$6.8 million.
- Equity accounted loss in unlisted property trust investments \$3.2 million.
- Impairment in respect to parent company guarantee \$7.2 million.
Corporate governance practices
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 this annual report.
Other matters
- In July 2007 the company was included in the ASX Equity Research Scheme. The program aims to deliver higher levels of stock liquidity in companies taking part in the program by creating higher levels of both retail and institutional investor awareness.
- 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.
Changes in state of affairs
There was no significant change in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year other than as described in the notes to the financial statements.
Subsequent events
OFG had provided a cash out performance guarantee to unit holders in a trust managed by its subsidiary company, Century Funds Management Limited, as part of the stapling of 3 unlisted property trusts into one Fund (Century Bulky Goods Fund No.1), that guaranteed the redemption of up to 11.3 million units at a face value of \$1.00 per unit. In exchange for cancelling this guarantee, the company entered into a Notes Subscription Deed, which these subject unit holders, whilst still maintaining their original units in the Fund, received a note that has a face value that represents the difference between \$1.00 per unit and an agreed written down value per unit of \$0.36, as at 30 June 2009. The holders of the Notes are not entitled to request a conversion to equity (subsequent to shareholder approval), or otherwise receive cash, until February 2012.
OFG has entered into a conditional exchange of contracts for the sale of Chisholm Shopping Centre for a price of \$19.0 million. The settlement date is set to occur by 15 October 2009, with OFG providing Vendor finance of \$2.3 million for a period of 2 years. The condition precedent of the contract is the purchaser's ability to raise equity by 28 August 2009.
Future developments
After a series of senior management personnel changes during the 12 month period, the Group has implemented both recurring cost saving initiatives as well as strategic key personnel appointments. The appointments include Mr Matthew Coy, to the position of Chief Financial Officer of OFG, previously Chief Financial Officer of OFG subsidiary company, Century Funds Management Limited (CFML); Mr Terry Reid to the position of General Manager Friendly Society and Company Secretary for OFG, previously Chief Financial Officer of OFG; Mr Howard Schmiede to Head of Finance at CFML, previously held the position of Chief Financial Officer at Austcorp; Mr Tom Power to Head of Retail Distribution at OFG and CFML, previously State Manager Sales, Qld - MLC, and Mr Sean Webster of OFG, previously an investment manager with over 15 years experience in the investment fraternity.
These are specifically aimed at improving the Group's ability to capitalise upon the current dynamic investment market and the Group's equity raising capability through a greater spread of larger sources from the investment community that will benefit both the friendly society and property funds management businesses.
With a strong mix of business income derived from reliable recurring income streams, the board and senior management have growing optimism about the Group's future performance. This is dependant upon a return to acquiring quality assets by Century Funds Management after a period of 2 years whereby the conditions were not suitable for acquisition, the introduction of a suite of new products within the friendly society aimed at providing its members greater flexibility and choice, plus the strengthening of communication and education with its members, plus a significant reduction of corporate debt, which is forecasted to occur during the subsequent period from a combination of operations and realisation of outstanding commercial mortgages.
Dividends
In respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2008, a final dividend of 3 cents per share franked to 100% at 30% corporate income tax rate was paid to the holders of fully paid ordinary shares on 3 October 2008.
In respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2009 no dividends were paid, declared or recommended.
Indemnification of officers and auditors
OFG 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 a Director or Executive Officer unless the liability relates to conduct involving a lack of good faith. OFG 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 contracts.
The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the company or any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.

OVER FIFTY GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES Directors' report For the year ended 30 June 2009
Non-audit services
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 23 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 23 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor's independence, based on advice received from the audit, risk management and compliance committee, for the following reasons:
- all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
- none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional $\&$ Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
Auditor's independence declaration
The auditor's independence declaration is included on page 24 of the annual report.
Rounding off of amounts
The company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the directors' report and the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

- Competitive rewards are provided to attract and retain executive talent;
- 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 Chief Executive Officer 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.
For the year ended 30 June 2009
Remuneration report (cont'd)
Relationship between the remuneration policy and company performance
The main objective in rewarding the company executives for their performances is to ensure that shareholders' wealth is maximised through the company's continued growth moving forward. It is necessary to structure and strengthen this focus to drive this strategy so that they are aligned with the company's objectives and successes.
Under the Remuneration policy, senior management's remuneration includes a fixed remuneration component and short-term and long-term incentive arrangements. The long-term incentives are based on OFG's performance for the year in reference to specific Earnings Per Share ("EPS") and Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") hurdles being met. The short-term incentives are based on the individual's performance in the preceding 12 months compared to pre-agreed goals.
Where senior management are remunerated with securities, the Remuneration Policy places no limitations to their exposure to risk in relation to the securities
The targeted annual remuneration mix of each executive director and senior management personnel is outlined below;
| % of total target annual remuneration | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fixed remuneration $\mathbf{v}_0$ |
short term incentive remuneration $\overline{\ }$ 0 |
long term incentive remuneration $\mathbf{e}_{\mathbf{0}}$ |
|||
| Executive director | |||||
| Mr J.C. Huljich | 74% | $7\%$ | 19% | ||
| Mr J.E. McBain | 74% | 7% | 19% | ||
| Senior management | |||||
| Mr M.J. Coy | 74% | $7\%$ | 19% | ||

| Mr H.J. Schmiede | 77% | 8% | 15% | ||
| Mr T.D. Reid | 77% | 8% | 15% |
Target incentive remuneration refers to the incentive pay provided for meeting performance requirements. Actual incentive remuneration can vary for executive directors and senior management depending on the extent to which they meet performance requirements.
In accordance with the company's corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
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.
Structure
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 per year.
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 Group companies and an additional fee is paid to the Chairman and to the Chairman of each Board Committee. The payment of the additional fees to each Chairman recognises the additional time commitment and responsibility associated with the position.
For the year ended 30 June 2009

Senior Management and Executive Director Remuneration
Obiective
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 benchmarks;
- align the interests of executives with those of stakeholders; ¥
- link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the company : and ٠×
- ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Structure
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Chief Executive Officer seeks independent advice regarding market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles.
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 executive by the Chief Executive Officer after consultation with the Remuneration Committee. Table 2 details the fixed and variable components for each executive.
Fixed Remuneration
Objective
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 Chief Executive Officer and the process consists of a review of company, 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 Chief Executive Officer.
The Chief Executive Officer and senior executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and salary sacrifice items such as motor vehicles, motor vehicle allowances and/or additional superannuation contributions. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal without creating undue cost for the Group but always contained in their respective fixed total remuneration.
Variable Remuneration
Under OFG'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 executive to achieve operational targets and such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances.
Structure
Actual STI payments granted to each executive 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 ("KPIs") 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 leadership/team contribution. These measures were chosen as they represent the key drivers for short term success of the business and provide a framework for delivering long term value.
The Group has predetermined benchmarks that must be met in order to trigger payments under the STI scheme. On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPIs, 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 term incentive 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. Payments made are delivered as a cash bonus in the following reporting period.
For the year ended 30 June 2009
Remuneration report (cont'd)
Short Term Incentive Employee Share Plan (the Plan)
In the 2006 financial year, the Board approved the establishment of the OFG Short Term Incentive Employee Share Plan (the Plan) to establish a method by which eligible employees may participate in the future growth and profitability of the Company, and to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan and issue of shares under the Plan were approved at the 2006 AGM. This plan is separate to OFG's Performance Rights Plan.
Under the Plan, there are no performance conditions, which allows the Board, in its discretion, to offer eligible employees fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) with a market value of up to \$1,000 per employee per financial year. Eligible employees include permanent fulltime and part-time employees of OFG and its subsidiaries. Directors (whether executive or non-executive) cannot participate in the Plan unless specific approval is given by shareholders. Where Shares are issued under the plan during a year, their value is taken up in the financial statements in employee benefits expense. There were no Shares issued under this plan during the current year.
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 OFG or its subsidiaries during the Restriction Period, the restrictions on disposal will cease.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 the Company may not issue or agree to issue equity securities 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. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 (as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1) provides that issues of equities securities under an employee incentive scheme, such as the Plan, are not included when 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.
Long-term Incentives ("LTI")
At the 2003 AGM, OFG 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 as detailed in Table 4 below. If OFG achieves a target growth in EPS, or a TSR which matches or exceeds that of the ASX (excluding Property Trusts) Financial Accumulation index, the performance rights will convert into shares at the target date in the future as set out in Table 4. Performance will be tested at the end of four years measuring the average compound performance over the preceding four financial years. 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. Senior management have the potential to earn up to 15% or 19% of their total fixed compensation in the form of a long term incentive.
The Group uses TSR and EPS as performance hurdles as it ensures an alignment between comparative shareholder return and reward for executives.
The performance rights will vest after 4 years as in Table 4 subject to meeting the performance hurdles described.
The allocation of rights under the plan is approved by the Board after recommendations by the Chief Executive Officer. The first allocations under the Plan were granted in May 2006 (refer to Page 21 of the remuneration report 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 AASB 2. 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 OFG 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 executives are included in Table 2.

Group Performance
The financial services industry, and the companies that operate in this sector, has been the most significantly impacted by the global credit crisis, with OFG being no exception to that decline. OFG's resultant share price has fallen from \$0.91 cents per share at 30 June 2008, to a low of \$0.26 cents per share on 20 March 2009, to recover to \$0.42 cents per share at 30 June 2009. OFG's consolidated statutory loss after tax for 2009 is \$12.4 million and no dividends were paid or proposed for the year ended 30 June 2009.
Whilst the Group's operating earnings remained encouraging, the adversely impacted statutory result has resulted in the OFG directors, senior management and staff not being paid any short term incentives and not being granted any performance rights during the year. In addition to this, executive directors and senior management salaries have been decreased by 10%, with all other staff receiving a 7.5% decrease, during the later part of the 2009 financial year. These cost saving measures, along with others implemented during the financial year, were taken as a reflection of OFG's need to reduce fixed costs during the current difficult financial market.
The tables below show the performance of the Group (as measured by its TSR) as compared to the ASX Financial (excluding Property Trusts) Accumulation Index and the consolidated entity's earnings and movements in shareholder wealth for the five years to June 2009:

Bonuses
Cash bonuses granted during the year to the above senior management were paid on 13 September 2007. This was relating to the annual performance appraisal for the 2007 year.
Valuation of options and participating rights
The value of rights granted at the grant date in 2008 to T. Reid and C. Jones are \$116,250.
The participating rights and options lapsed during the year for C. Martin, C. Jones and A. Nicu. Had these not lapsed/forfeited, the fair value would have been \$211,500 for C.Martin, \$21,597 for C. Jones and nil for A. Nicu. Because the vesting conditions would not have been met at the time of lapsing, the fair value of the options/participating rights would be nominal.
For the year ended 30 June 2009
Remuneration report (cont'd)
Share-based payments granted as compensation for the current financial year
Performance Rights plan
Details to the plan are set out above under "Long-term Incentives (LTI)".
The proportion of Rights that vest is cumulative over the vesting period disclosed in Table 5 which will be determined by the Company's performance measured in terms of EPS and TSR, ranked against the ASX Financial (excluding Property Trusts) Accumulation Index.
Table 4:
Earnings Per Share (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 OFG achieves less than 10% growth in EPS per annum, no Rights vest.
- If OFG achieves 10% growth in EPS or greater, 70% of Rights vest.
- If OFG achieves 11% growth in EPS or greater, 80% of Rights vest.
- If OFG achieves 12% growth in EPS or greater, 90% of Rights vest.
- If OFG 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 nerformance 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.
During the financial year, the following share-based payment arrangements granted under the Performance Rights plan were in existence. The fair market value of the Rights at the valuation dates are set out below:
| Tranche | Grant date | Rights fair value including market hurdle (TSR) |
Rights fair value (EPS) |
Vesting date | Expiry date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 May 2006 | \$1.32 | \$2.22 | 30 June 2007 | 26 May 2011 | |

| 5 | 1 July 2007 | \$1.11 | \$1.85 | 30 June 2011 | 30 June 2012 |
The valuation approach employed is an adjusted form of the Black - Scholes Option Pricing Model (BSM) that includes a Monte Carlo Simulation analysis that incorporates an estimate of the probability of achieving the TSR 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 (\$2.22);
- The expected volatility of the share price (25%);
- The dividend yield expected on the shares (4.7%); and
- The risk-free interest rate for the life of the Rights (6.43%).

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Over Fifty Group Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Over Fifty Group Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2009, and the income statement, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year as set out on pages 27 to 80.
Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Auditor's Independence Declaration
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Auditor's Opinion
In our opinion:
- (a) the financial report of Over Fifty Group Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- (i) giving a true and fair view of the company's and consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2009 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
- (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
- (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note $\overline{2}$ .
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included on pages 14 to 23 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2009. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Auditor's Opinion
In our opinion the Remuneration Report of Over Fifty Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2009, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

2. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of the law.
The financial report includes the separate financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ('A-IFRS'). Compliance with A-IFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Company and the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 20 August 2009.
Basis of preparation
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for investment properties and those financial assets and financial liabilities which have been valued at fair value through the income statement. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Where appropriate the prior year's figures have been restated to be consistent with the current year's reclassification.
Going concern
The Directors have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2009, the Group incurred a consolidated net loss after tax of \$12,413,000 (2008: loss \$2,707,000) mainly as a result of the provision for the redemption guarantee provided to unit holders of Century Bulky Goods Fund No.1 (CBGF#1), property revaluation decrements, unrealised loss on fair value of financial derivatives and impairments on the commercial loan book.
The following table summarises key reconciling items between net (loss)/profit after tax attributable to equity holders of OFG Limited, and operating after tax profit before non-cash and significant items.

Going concern (cont'd)
Management has renewed OFG's working capital facility with the National Australia Bank to 28 February 2010. During the year ended 30 June 2009, OFG has reduced its working capital facility by \$4.1 million. OFG management are currently in discussions with National Australia Bank to refinance the facility by a further 12 months.
Management has, subsequent to 30 June 2009, entered into a Notes Subscription Deed with the Unit Holders that held Cash Out Units that were guaranteed by OFG for \$1.00 per unit. There were 11.1 million units that have a guarantee provided at a face value per note of \$0.64. Management has agreed with these unit holders to satisfy its guarantee obligation through the issuance of a convertible note for a term of 3 years with a quarterly coupon payable at 7.82% p.a.
After taking into account all available information, the Directors have concluded that there are reasonable grounds to believe:
- The refinancing as detailed above will occur at the next review date of 28 February 2010;
- The Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due; and
- The basis of preparation of the financial report on a going concern basis is appropriate.
The directors have formed this view based on a number of factors including:
- The Group's net asset position attributable to members of \$78,438,000;
- The underlying performance of the Group's business being management of the friendly society business, property funds management, insurance agency, the commercial loan book and the reverse mortgage business;
- There have been no defaults on the payment of interest or principal;
- Terms are set with the National Australia Bank to OFG's next review on 28 February 2010; and
- Agreement has been made with the unit holders in CBGF#1 who elected to redeem their units and they have executed a Notes Subscription Deed for settlement of the cash out guarantee.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future period if the revision affects both current and future periods.
(i) Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies
There are no critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies for the year ended 30 June 2009.
(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
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 14.
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 32.
Useful lives of plant and equipment
As described in note 2(j), the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period. During the financial year, the directors determined that the useful lives to be 3 - 15 years. There has been no change in prior years.
Investment property
The Group engages an accredited valuer to fair value its property investments.
Employee entitlements
Estimation by management is applied when determining the following key assumptions used in the calculation of long service leave at balance sheet date:
- future increases in wages and salaries;
- future on cost rates; and
- experience of employee departures and period of service.
Commercial mortgages
Commercial mortgages held are reviewed on an individual basis and tested for their recoverability and impaired accordingly.
Valuation of Fixed For Life loans within the reverse mortgage portfolio
Actuarial forecasts are prepared recording the fair value of fixed for life loans undertaken by borrowers within the reverse mortgage portfolio. Assumptions include future market interest rates and mortality when recording the present value of these loans.
(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont'd)
Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments
As described in note 27, management uses their judgment in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments not quoted in an active market. For derivative financial instruments, assumptions are made based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instrument. The estimation of fair value for unlisted instruments includes some assumptions not supported by observable market prices or rates.
Note 27 (h) describes the assumptions used for the valuation technique in assessing the fair value of the 50 year swaps.
Actuarial methods and assumptions
A Financial Condition Report is being prepared by the Society's Appointed Actuary, Mr Guy Thorburn. This report covers benefit fund liabilities and prudential reserves. The effective date of the report is 30 June 2009.
The amount of the benefit fund liabilities has been determined in accordance with the methods and assumptions disclosed in this Financial Condition Report.
Policy liabilities for benefit funds, other than the Funeral Benefit Fund, 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 bonus. This liability represents the present value of guaranteed benefits (pre bonus) plus the present value of future bonuses. Following declaration of the bonus, there would then be no surplus under this arrangement. The Society currently expects to deduct 1.50% 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 determine 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 unallocated surplus. The Capital Requirements, as set by APRA, are designed to ensure there is sufficient unallocated surplus to cover the effect of these changes.
Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
In the current year, the Company and Group have adopted the new and revised Standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. Details of the impact of the adoption of these new accounting standards are set out in the individual accounting policy notes set out below.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) (referred to as the 'Group' in these financial statements). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
OFG as prescribed by AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts, in its consolidated financial statements, is required to recognise the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and equity of the benefit funds, which it manages. The assets and liabilities of the Benefit Funds do not impact the Net profit after tax of the equity holders of OFG.
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 purposes 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 life insurance contracts under AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts.
(a) Basis of consolidation (cont'd)
The value of policyholders 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.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Minority interests in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority's share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
OFG has majority representation on the Board of the Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited ("Guardian"). However, as Guardian is a mutual organisation, OFG 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.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquire, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised, If, after reassessment, the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority's proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.
(b) Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under AASB 3 'Business Combinations' are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations', which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority's proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.
(c) Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with AASB 5 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations'. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments.
The Group's investment in Mortgageport Management Pty Ltd, Century Bulky Goods Fund No.1 and Direct Property Trust is accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of the acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of that investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, unrealised profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the relevant associate.
(d) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. ii.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.
(e) Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Management fees
Management fees are recognised on an accruals basis when OFG has the right to receive payment.
Dividend and interest revenue
Dividend revenue is recognised when the shareholders' right to receive the payment is established
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.
Rental income
Rental income arising on investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Property acquisition income
Property acquisition income is recognised when an investment property has been acquired in an established fund.
Commission and application fee income
All commissions and application fee income is recognised on an accruals basis when OFG has the right to receive the payment.
Share-based payments $(n)$
Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. Further details can be found in note 32.
(g) Income tax
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Temporary differences are differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the balance sheet. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint ventures except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(g) Income tax (cont'd)
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.
The Benefit Funds are part of the tax consolidated group, they are allocated a share of the income tax liability attributable to the Over Fifty Mutual Friendly Society Limited equal to the income tax liability that would have arisen to the Benefit Funds had they been stand-alone.
Tax consolidation
The company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law as of 1 July 2003. OFG Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/benefit, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using a 'stand-alone' approach based on the allocation specified in the tax funding arrangement.
The tax funding arrangement requires a notional current and deferred tax calculation for each entity as if it were a taxpayer in its own right, except that unrealised profits, distributions made and received and capital gains and losses and similar items arising on transactions within the tax-consolidated group are treated as having no tax consequences. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised by the company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).
Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by the company and each member of the group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity and the other members of the tax-consolidated group in accordance with the arrangement.
Further information about the tax funding arrangement is detailed in note 6. Where the tax contribution amount recognised by each member of the taxconsolidated group for a particular period is different to the aggregate of the current tax liability or asset and any deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in respect of that period, the difference is recognised as a contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and have a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in the balance sheet.
Financial assets $(i)$
Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss which are initially measured at fair value.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the Company financial statements. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements and the cost method in the Company financial statements
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period
Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets 'at fair value through profit or loss'.
$\overline{2}$ . Significant accounting policies (cont'd)
Financial assets (cont'd) $(i)$
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets are classified as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - held for trading" where the financial asset:
- has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future;
- is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking, or
- is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
- Financial assets are classified as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss designated at initial recognition" where the financial asset:
- is classified as such eliminates a recognition inconsistency (accounting mismatch);
- is a part of a group of assets which is managed and performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with investment strategy; or
- is a contract containing an embedded derivative.
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 27.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets include mortgage loans. Mortgage loans are held directly at amortised cost using the effective yield method except for mortage loans held by the Benefit Fund's which are measured at fair value through profit and loss. An allowance for impairment loss 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 when identified.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that have occurred after initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted.
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as 'loans and receivables'. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using effective interest method less impairment.
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.
(j) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment and is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis.
The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
The following useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
Plant and equipment
3-15 years
(k) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell
(I) Investment property
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and /or for capital appreciation, is measured initially at its cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the investment property are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(m) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period which they are incurred.
(n) Leased assets
Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Group as a lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
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 on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
Lease incentives
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefits of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
In the event that lease incentives are granted as part of operating leases, the aggregate of such incentives are recognized as a reduction of rental income on a straight line basis over the life of the lease.
(o) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at its cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised at the date of the acquisition. Goodwill is subsequently measured at its cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cashgenerating units, or groups of cash-generating units, expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.
If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or groups of cash-generating units), the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or groups of cash-generating units) and then to the other assets of the cash generating units pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the cashgenerating unit (or groups of cash-generating units). An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss and is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of an operation within a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal of the operation.
(p) Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably
Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
(q) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
Directors' retirement fund
Provisions for directors' retirement fund are recognised to compensate non-executive directors and are accrued for during their service period.
(r) Financial instruments issued by the Company
Debt and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss where the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
A financial liability is held for trading if:
- it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near future; or
- it is part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
- it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
- A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading is designated as a fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition if:
• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
• the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 27. Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective vield basis
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
(s) Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate and equity price risk.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
Hedge accounting
At the inception of the hedge relationship the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking the hedge. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument that is used in a hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item
Note 27 contains details of the fair values of the derivative instruments used for hedging purposes. Movements in the hedging reserve in equity are also detailed in the Statement of Changes in Equity.
(s) Derivative financial instruments (cont'd)
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss as part of other expenses or other income.
Amounts deferred in equity are recycled in profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss in the same line of the income statement as the recognised hedged item. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a nonfinancial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged item that is attributable to the hedged risk. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to profit or loss from that date.
(t) 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 laid 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 2009.
(u) 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 ("DPF"). DPF means a contractual right to receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits, additional benefits:
- that are likely to be a significant portion of the total contractual benefits; $(a)$
- whose amount or timing is contractually at the discretion of the issuer, and $(b)$
- that are contractually based on: $(c)$
- the performance of a specified pool of contracts or a specified type of contract; $(i)$
- $(ii)$ realised and/or unrealised investment returns on a specified pool of assets held by the issuer; or
- the profit or loss of the company, fund or other entity that issues the contract. $(iii)$
Applications and redemptions on investment contracts with DPF are accounted for through the income statement. The gross change in the 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 income statement
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.
(v) Policyholders' funds
Assets held by the benefit funds are included in total assets in the Balance Sheet of the Group. A corresponding liability labelled "policyholders' funds" is shown in total liabilities in the Balance Sheet. Note 19 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 surplus is attributed to the policyholders of the fund. In accordance with AASB1038 Life Insurance Contracts applications to these funds are recorded as income, redemptions from these funds and amounts distributable to policyholders are recorded as expenses.
(v) Policyholders' funds (cont'd)
The policyholder funds liabilities for unit 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 funds 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 a increase in policyholder liabilities. 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.
(w) Unit prices
Unit prices are determined in accordance with the benefit 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.
(x) Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of the financial report, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective.

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law. There has been no change in the corporate tax rate when compared with the previous reporting period.

Tax consolidation
Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group
The company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Over Fifty Group Limited.
Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements
Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax-sharing agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Over Fifty Group Limited and each of the entities in the tax-consolidated group has agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Such amounts are reflected in amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax-consolidated group. 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 Over Fifty Group Limited.
The tax-sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated group provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations or if an entity should leave the tax-consolidated group. The effect of the tax-sharing agreement is that each member's liability for tax payable by the tax-consolidated group is limited to the amount payable to the head entity under the tax funding arrangement.

Revaluations
The fair value of the Group's investment property, except Chisholm in the ACT, at 30 June 2009 has been arrived at on the basis of valuation carried out by CB Richard Ellis, independent valuers that are not related to the group. CB Richard Ellis are members of the Australian Institute of Valuers, and they have appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the valuation of properties in the relevant locations. The valuation, which conforms to Australian Standards, was arrived at by reference to capitalization of net income, discounted cash flow analysis (10 years) at a rate of 9%, and direct comparison to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties.
Fair value represents the amount at which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and knowledgeable willing seller in an arm's length transaction at the date of valuation, in accordance with Australian Valuation Standards. The direct operating expenses that generated the rental income during the period was \$390,000 (2008: \$340,000).
The Chisholm Shopping Centre property was valued based on the agreed sale price subsequent to the year ended 30 June 2009. OFG has entered into a conditional exchange of contracts for the sale of \$19.0 million. The settlement date is set to occur by 15 October 2009, with OFG providing Vendor finance of \$2.3m for a period of 2 years. The condition precedent of the contract is the purchaser's ability to raise equity by 28 August 2009.
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 2009.

(i) The Group has a 50% investment in Mortgageport Management Pty Limited, a wholesale residential mortgage origination and management company incorporated in Australia. Although the Group holds a 50% investment in Mortgageport, it does not control the company, and it is, therefore considered inappropriate to include Mortgageport as part of the consolidated group.

There was no impairment relating to the investment in associate in the current year (PY: \$3,000,000) and there were no capital commitments or other commitments relating to Mortgageport (the associate).
(ii) The Group has a 46% investment in Century Bulky Goods Fund No.1 (CBGF#1), an unlisted property fund which invests in bulky goods (large format retail) centres. Although the Group holds a 46% investment in CBGF#1, it does not control the voting rights and it is, therefore, considered inappropriate to include CBGF#1 as part of the consolidated group. OFG has elected to split account its investment in CBGF#1, that is, to equity account for the consolidated group's 21% investment and fair value account for the Income Accumulation Fund's 25% investment.

(iii) The Group has a 44% investment in Over Fifty Direct Property Trust (DPT), an unlisted property trust. Although the Group holds a 44% investment in DPT, it does not control the voting rights and it is, therefore, considered inappropriate to include DPT as part of the consolidated group. OFG has elected to split account its investment in DPT, that is, to equity account for the consolidated group's 5% investment and fair value account for the Income Accumulation Fund's 16% and Growth Bond Fund's 23% investment.

(i) Goodwill acquired in relation to the acquisition of Eclipse Property Group Limited (Note 29).
(ii) On 3 April 2008, the company completed the sale of all of the business assets of its financial planning business, OFG LTP Pty Ltd (formerly Lifetime Planning Pty Ltd). As a consequence, the carrying value of the goodwill was de-recognised.
Goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing. During the financial year the Group assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill and determined that no impairment loss was to be charged for the 2009 financial year (2008: nil).
The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to cash-generating units relates to the acquisitions of Century Funds Management in financial year 2007 and Eclipse Property Group Ltd in 2008 (51%) and 2009 (49%).
Allocation of goodwill to cash-generating units
The carrying amount of goodwill was allocated to the following cash-generating units:
| Property - Century Funds Management Ltd (i) | 42,369 | 42,369 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| - Eclipse Property Group Limited (ii) | 10,202 | 4.787 | |
| - Lifetime Planning | 26 | ||
| 52.571 | 47,182 | ||
(i) Century Funds Management Ltd
The recoverable amount of the property unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using Funds Under Management (FUM) projections and profit and loss projections covering a five -year period.
Key assumptions
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations for the following cash-generating units are as follows:
| Carrying amount: | \$42,369,082 |
|---|---|
| Funds under management growth target: | These targets are based on the anticipated growth in FUM. |
| Funds under advice (FUA) growth target: | A growth rate of 10% (2008:10%) has been set over the 5 years. This is based on an assessment of published market forecasted FUM. |
| Revenue balance: | Revenues in 2010 are based on board approved budgets and there after are assumed to increase at a rate of 6.5% (2008: 10%) per annum. This target rate incorporates both anticipated growth in sums invested and the market. |
| Expenses balance: | Expenses are assumed to increase at a rate of 3% (2008: 4%) per annum. |
| Pre-tax discount Rate: | Discount rates reflect management's estimates of the time value of money. A rate of 13.17% (2008: 15%) is applied to cash flow projections. In determining the appropriate discount rate, regard has been given to the yield on a ten year bond at the beginning of the budgeted year. |
| Terminal growth rate: | A growth rate of 3% (2008: 2%) has been applied to the calculation of the terminal value of the asset. |
14. Goodwill (cont'd)
(ii) Eclipse Property Group Limited
The recoverable amount of the property unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using Funds Under Management (FUM) projections and profit and loss projections covering a five -year period.

| Carrying amount: | 10,202,140 |
|---|---|
| Funds under management growth target: | These targets are based on the anticipated growth in FUM. |
| Funds under advice (FUA) growth target: | A growth rate of 10% (2008: 10%) has been set over the 5 years. This is based on an assessment of published market forecasted FUM. |

The nature of the provision is to compensate the directors for their time and effort spent over the years serving as non executive directors. The timing of any outflows is determined by when a director resigns. All non executive directors who commenced prior to 30 June 2004 are eligible for the retirement fund payment, of which at 30 June 2008 this consisted of payments accrued on behalf of Mr M.G. Grant. During the current year, Mr M.G. Grant resigned from office on 29 October 2008 and the retirement fund balance owing was paid in full. The past practice of providing for a directors retirement fund, in addition to directors fees, has been discontinued during the period.

Unless otherwise stated, ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up the company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number and amounts paid up on shares held.

Long term incentive Plan of Over Fifty Group Limited
Performance will be tested at the end of four years measuring the average compound performance over the preceding four financial years. 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 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 OFG attaining the required increase in EPS. The resultant value is charged to the profit and loss evenly across the vesting period.

On 3 April 2008, the company completed the sale of all of the business assets of its financial planning business, Lifetime Planning Pty Ltd. The proceeds for these assets was \$600,000. The sale allowed the company to concentrate capital and resources on its core activities.
The combined results of the discontinued operations which have been included in the income statement are as follows. The comparative profit and cash flows from discontinued operations have been re-presented to include those operations classified as discontinued in the current period:

27. Financial instruments
The OFG consolidated results comprise the assets and liabilities of both the OFG group and the benefit funds. The shareholders of OFG are subject only to the risks and rewards of assets and liabilities in OFG and not those of the assets and liabilities held in the benefit funds which are required to be aggregated in the financial report as prescribed by AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts. Therefore, this note only addresses the financial assets and financial liabilities held directly on OFG's balance sheet and not those assets and liabilities held by the benefit funds.
The only risk to the shareholders of OFG, in respect to the benefit funds, is limited to capital reserving. Over Fifty Mutual Friendly Society Limited (OFMFSL), being a subsidiary of OFG, acts in the capacity of manger for two capital guaranteed benefit funds. To mitigate the risk of these guarantees being called upon, the benefit funds set aside prescribed reserving which is determined upon a "1 in 400 year event" stress testing scenario. The reserving calculations are verified by an independent actuary appointed by the Friendly Society. The Benefit Funds at 30 June 2009 have set aside the requisite reserving as determined by the investment profile of the two respective funds. If the required reserving under the "Capital Adequacy Test" needs increasing, in addition to the Funds assets that OFG holds, OFMFSL would be required to inject additional seed capital. Seed capital is later repaid to OFMFSL when reserving is returned to a normal sustainable level.
(a) Management of financial instruments
The Board is ultimately responsible for the Risk Management Framework of the Group.
The Group employs a cascading approach to managing risk, facilitated through delegation to specialist committees and individuals within the Group.
The Investment & Lending Committee's function is to manage and oversee the Group's investments in accordance with the investment objectives and framework as set down by the Board. Specifically, it has responsibility for setting and reviewing strategic asset allocations, reviewing investment performance, reviewing investment policy, monitoring and reporting on the performance of the investment risk management policy and performing risk management procedures in respect of the investments.
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks as a result of its activities. These risks include market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's risk management and investment policies, approved by the Board, seek to minimise the potential adverse effects of these risks on the Group's financial performance. These policies may include the use of certain financial derivative instruments.
The Group outsources the investment management to specialist investment managers, who provide services to the Group, co-ordinate access to domestic and international financial markets, and manage the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group in accordance with an investment mandate set out in the Group's constitution and the benefit funds product disclosure statements. The benefit funds investment mandates are to invest in equities and fixed interest securities via unit trusts, discount securities and may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures and options.
The Group uses interest rate swaps in two main areas other than the benefit funds. The first in relation to reverse mortgage fixed rate loans offered to borrowers whereby a fixed rate agreed with the swap provider at the time of entering the swap, while the Group is entitled to receive a variable rate equal to the 30-day Bank Bill Swap rate bid (BBSY) plus a facility margin. The objective of the hedge is to enter into interest rate derivative contracts to hedge fair value movements of fixed for life reverse mortgage loans attributable to the interest rate risk, as well as hedging the Group's exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to interest rate risk associated with its selected borrowings. Secondly in relation to borrowings for the on balance sheet investment properties to hedge against interest rate increases.
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 anticipated exposures relating to investments. All financial arrangements are backed up by cash or assets (as appropriate) with a fair value of at least equal to the notional value of the asset which underlies the financial instrument. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Fund's investment policies, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives.
(b) Significant accounting policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which revenue and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in note 2 to the financial statements.
(c) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of debt and equity balances. This overall strategy remains unchanged from 2008.
The Group's capital structure consists of debt, which includes borrowings disclosed in note 16, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings which are all disclosed in note 20.
The Group carries on business throughout Australia, primarily through subsidiary companies that are established in the markets in which the Group operates. The operations of the Friendly Society are regulated by APRA and the Management Fund of the Society has a minimum Management Capital Requirement ("MCR") that must be maintained at all times. It is calculated monthly and projected forward for the next six months and these results are reported to the Board each month. The current level of share capital of the Friendly Society means that for the foreseeable future the MCR will continue to be met with a substantial excess. In addition, one Group company, Century Funds Mangement Limited has AFSL licences so as to operate its registered property trusts. The regulations require the entity to hold a minimum net asset amount which is maintained by way of bank guarantees. Where necessary, the bank guarantees will be increased to ensure the net asset requirement is always met.
Operating cash flows are used to maintain and, where appropriate, expand the Group's funds under management as well as to make the routine outflows of tax, dividends and repayment of maturing debt. The Group reviews regularly its anticipated funding requirements and from there decides what the most appropriate form of funding (capital raising or borrowings) which will depend on what the funding will be used for.
The capital structure of the benefit funds (and management fund) consists of cash and cash equivalents, bill facilities and mortgage assets. The benefit funds also hold a range of financial assets for investment purposes including investments in unit trusts, equity and floating rate notes. The Investment and Lending Committee aims to ensure that there is sufficient capital for possible redemptions by unit holders of the benefit funds by maintaining a minimum of 15% of its total investments in cash and cash equivalents. The benefit funds have no restrictions or specific capital requirements on the application and redemption of units. The benefit fund's overall investment strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.
(d) Carrying amount by category of financial instruments
The carrying amount of each category of financial assets and liabilities is as follows:
| Consolidated | Parent | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 \$'000 |
2008 \$'000 |
2009 \$'000 |
2008 \$'000 |

138 | 2,806 | 127 | 2.666 |
| Available for sale investments | 6,000 | Ξ. | 6,000 | |
| Derivatives at fair value through profit or loss - held for trading | ۰ | 1,215 | $\overline{\phantom{a}}$ | ٠ |

| Loans and receivables | 237,428 | 249,398 | 37,120 | 55,194 |
| Total financial assets | 237,566 | 260,351 | 37,247 | 63,860 |
| Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss - held for trading | 6,305 | |||
| Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss - designated upon initial recognition(i) |
۰ | 232 | ۰ | |
| Derivatives that are designated and effective as hedging instruments carried at fair value |
12,409 | ۰ | ||
| Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost | 273,362 | 258,221 | 27,357 | 24,500 |
| Total financial liabilities | 285,771 | 264,758 | 27,357 | 24,500 |
(i) There has been no change during the period and cumulatively, in the fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of those liabilities. There is no difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities and the amount the Group would be contractually required to pay at maturity to the holders of the obligations.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in accordance with the accounting policies detailed in note 2 to the financial statements.
(e) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating risk of financial loss from default. The credit risk on financial assets of the Group and the parent recognised on the balance sheet is generally the carrying amount, net of allowance for impairment loss.
Concentration of risk may exist when the volume of transactions limits the number of counterparties. Concentration of credit risk in relation to mortgage loans is demonstrated by the following bands:
| 2009 | 2008 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loan balance outstanding |
Number | Balance \$'000 |
Number | Balance \$'000 |
|
| $0 - S$ Ф |
250,000 | 200 | |||
| 250,001 - \$ 500,000 | ۰ | 900 | |||
| 500,001 - \$1,000,000 S |
2,400 | 4 | 2,730 | ||
| $$1,000,001 - plus$ | 6,520 | 3 | 10,911 | ||
| 9,120 | 14,541 |
There are no mortgage loans that are past due and not impaired.
Credit risk on mortgage loans
Credit risk on mortgage loans is managed through prudential lending guidelines, appropriate mortgage security arrangements and loan default credit risk insurance, and are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.
Credit risk on other financial assets
Credit risk on other financial assets such as investments in floating rate note, standard discount securities and unit trusts is managed through strategic asset allocations with creditworthy counterparties and the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of investments, including the use of credit ratings issued by well known rated agencies. The exposure of credit risk in respect of financial assets is minimal.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single entity or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. No individual investment exceeds 5% of net assets at either 30 June 2009 or 30 June 2008.
Credit risk of the Parent
The Parent does have significant exposure to the extent that it has provided loans to its subsidiaries. This risk is covered by recourse to the assets of the subsidiaries. The parent does not have any financial assets that are past due and not impaired.
(f) Liquidity Risk
The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities. The unit holders in the benefit funds are able to withdraw their units at any time and the benefit funds are therefore exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting unit holders' withdrawals at any time. The OFMFS Risk Management Statement has a requirement to maintain the benefit funds' cash holdings and liquid assets at a minimum of 15% of total assets.
The benefit fund's listed securities, listed managed investment schemes and unlisted management investment schemes are considered to be readily realisable. The benefit funds other investments included investments in unlisted investments and first mortgage loans, which are not traded in an organised market and which generally may be illiquid. As a result, there is a risk that the benefit funds may not be able to liquidate all of these investments at their fair value in order to meet their liquidity requirements. The benefit funds liquidity risks are managed in accordance with the funds investment strategies.
The liquidity risk is managed for the Group at a corporate level. The CFO regularly reviews the bank account balances across all entities, as well as current and future commitments and expected cash inflows. This is reviewed in even more detail when the monthly cash flow projection is prepared for management purposes and presented to the Board at its regular monthly meetings. By comparing the projected cash flows with the assets and liabilities shown in the individual and consolidated balance sheets, which are also prepared on a monthly basis for management purposes and presented to the Board, liquidity requirements for the Group can be determined. Based on this review, if it is considered that the expected cash inflows, plus liquidity on hand, may not be sufficient in the near term to meet cash outflow requirements, including repayment of borrowings, a decision can be made to carry out one or more of the following:
-
re-negotiate the repayment terms of the borrowings
-
sell assets that are held on balance sheet
- undertake an equity raising
This, combined with a profitable business going forward, should ensure that the Group continues to meet its commitments, including repayments of borrowings, as and when required.
The Group's overall strategy to liquidity risk management remains unchanged from 2008.
(f) Liquidity Risk (cont'd)
The following tables summarise the maturity profile of non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group and the parent can be required to pay.

(g) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of interest rate risk and price risk. Due to the nature of assets held by the parent and the Group (excluding the benefit funds), there is an asset and liability management process which determines the interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet and the implementation of risk management practices to hedge the potential effects of interest rate changes. The Group manages the market risk associated with its benefit funds via outsourcing its investment management and the Investment Manager manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the benefit funds in accordance with an investment mandate set out in the benefit funds constitution and product disclosure statement. There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.
Interest rate risk management
The parent and the Group are exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group borrow funds at floating interest rates and lend funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by the use of interest rate swap contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite; ensuring optimal hedging strategies are applied, by either positioning the balance sheet or protecting interest expense through different interest rate cycles.
The benefit funds activities expose it to the financial risk of changes in interest rates. Floating rate instruments expose the funds to cash flow risk, whereas fixed interest rate instruments expose the fund to fair value interest rate risk. Ultimately unit holders of the benefit funds are exposed to this risk.
The tables below detail the parent and the Group's interest bearing financial assets and liabilities.

Interest rate swap contracts
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Group to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on the fair value of fixed rate financial assets held and the cash flow exposures on the issued variable rate debt.
The following table details the notional principal amounts and remaining expiry of the Group's outstanding interest rate swap contracts as at reporting date. These swaps are at fair value through profit and loss except for those designated and effective as cash flow hedge's in which case the fair value movements will be recorded in equity.

(i) Refer to Note 27 (h) regarding the fair value of 50-year swap contracts
The objective of interest rate swap contracts, excluding the 50 year swap, in a hedge relationship is to match the cash flows obtained from the fixed rate book to the floating funding obligations under the warehouse trust facility. This strategy is in accordance with the OFG Treasury Policy. The hedged item (being floating funding obligation) is expected to impact profit or loss over the next six years (2008: seven years) following year-end where the Group has an interest rate exposure from fixed rate reverse mortgages from customers at a fixed rate for either the first two, four or eight years of the loan.
The hedged item cash flows are expected to occur at the end of the fixed rate loan as the floating funding obligations and fixed rate reverse loan mortgages are compounding.

Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the parent and the Group's exposure to interest rates at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and being held constant throughout the reporting period. A 100 basis point (1%) increase or decrease represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
The following table illustrates the effect on profit after tax and other equity reserves if interest rates had been 1% higher or lower and all other variables were held constant.

The methods and assumptions used to prepare the sensitivity analysis have not changed in the year. The sensitivity analyses above take into account interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities attributable to the shareholders only.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the total value of investments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. The benefit funds have investments in unlisted managed investment schemes, which exposes it to price risk. Sensitivity of these amounts to other price risk impacts policyholder liabilities rather than profit and other equity reserve attributable to shareholders.
(h) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.
The fair value of derivative instruments, are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available use is made of discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost approximate their fair value.
The objective of 50-year interest rate swap contracts in a hedge relationship is to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised assets, being fixed for life reverse mortgage loans, that is attributable to the interest rate risk and could affect profit or loss. This strategy is in accordance with the OFG Treasury Policy.
The fair value of the 50 year reverse mortgage loans and 50 years swaps are calculated using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are not supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument and not based on available observable market data due to the illiquid nature of the instruments. Use is made of discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve out to 15 years, with the yield curve at 15 years employed as the best proxy for subsequent rates due to non-observable market data.
Adjusting the yield curve after 15 years by an increase / (decrease) of 50 basis points as at 30 June 2009 would cause the fair value of the 50 year swaps to increase / (decrease) by \$631,138 / \$(664,545). (2008: by \$2,372,304 / (\$10,631,207)).
Additionally, the valuations have been calculated with an assumption of no deaths (as opposed to early voluntary repayment) of mortgagees during the life of the interest rate swaps. However, the swap agreements provide that in the event of death of a mortgagee there is a nil cost prepayment option. Accordingly, the assumption on the number of deaths and timing of such deaths will impact the valuation. If the assumption of the death rate changes to 10% of mortgagees 10 years after the inception of the swaps, the fair value as at 30 June 2009 would increase by \$297,000 (2008: \$85,583).
28. Subsequent events
OFG had provided a cash out performance guarantee to unit holders in a trust managed by its subsidiary company, Century Funds Management Limited, as part of the stapling of 3 unlisted property trusts into one Fund (Century Bulky Goods Fund No.1), that guaranteed the redemption of up to 11.3 million units at a face value of \$1.00 per unit. In exchange for cancelling this guarantee, the company entered into a Notes Subscription Deed, which these subject unit holders, whilst still maintaining their original units in the Fund, received a note that has a face value that represents the difference between \$1.00 per unit and an agreed written down value per unit of \$0.36, as at 30 June 2009. The holders of the Notes are not entitled to request a conversion to equity (subsequent to shareholder approval), or otherwise receive cash, until February 2012.
OFG has entered into a conditional exchange of contracts for the sale of Chisholm Shopping Centre for a price of \$19.0 million. The settlement date is set to occur by 15 October 2009, with OFG providing Vendor finance of \$2.3 million for a period of 2 years. The condition precedent of the contract is the purchaser's ability to raise equity by 28 August 2009.

29. Acquisition of business (cont'd)
On 30 June 2009, OFG exercised its Call Option, under the Put & Call Option Deed dated 30 June 2008, over the remaining 49% of the Eclipse Property Group Limited's (EPGL). OFG acquired the initial 51% on 30 June 2008.
The exercising of the Call Option also required the parties entering into an Amending Deed, Share Sale Agreement and a Mortgage of Shares (security being EPGL).
Background
On 30 June 2008, OFG acquired 51% of EPGL for \$4,798,361. The consideration was paid by \$3,798,361 in cash and \$727,994 via an issue of 799,993 in OFG ordinary shares plus consideration in cash for 51% respective share of the net tangible assets of EPGL.
OFG had a First Call Option expiring 31 December 2008, which would have enabled OFG to acquire EPGL for \$5,201,639. Its Second Call Option gave OFG the right to acquire the remaining 49% for a calculated "share value" on or before 30 September 2010.
The "share value" is calculated as the average net profit after tax for 2008, 2009 and 2010 multiplied by 10 times less the \$4,798,361.
The Put Option granted Vendors the option to require OFG to purchase the remaining 49% of EPGL shares on or before 30 September 2010 for the "share value" as calculated above.
Amending deed
On 30 June 2009, OFG entered into an Amending Deed with the Vendors of EPGL in order to make amendments to the Initial Share Sale Agreement and Put and Call Option Deed. These amendments were made in order to enable OFG to exercise its Call Option as at 30 June 2009 as detailed below.
Share Sale Agreement
On 30 June 2009, OFG exercised its Call Option and acquired the remaining 49% of issued shares of EPGL, thereby recording its interest in EPGL at 30 June 2009 as 100%. Consideration for the remaining shares is in two components.
An Initial Payment of \$100,000 as part payment of the Purchase Price and further payments by 30 September 2010 being for both Net Tangible Assets and the Share Value less the Initial Payment as defined above.
Mortgage over Shares
As a result of the final cash consideration for the remaining 49% of EPGL shares acquired by OFG which are due by 30 September 2010, after the "share value" has been calculated, OFG mortgaged 75% of the issued ordinary shares in EPGL to the Mortgagee (Vendors) as security for the payment of the Secured Money (all moneys payable as calculated by the 'Share Value" as at 30 September 2010).
The Mortgage is released upon the final cash consideration being paid to the Vendors.

Performance rights plan
At the 2003 AGM, OFG 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 as detailed in the table below. If OFG achieves a growth in Earnings Per Share ("EPS") and a Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") which matches or exceeds that of the ASX (excluding Property Trusts) Financial Accumulation index, the performance rights will convert into shares at the target date in the future as set out in the table below. Performance will be tested at the end of four years measuring the average compound performance over the preceding four financial years. 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 Group uses TSR and EPS as performance hurdles as it ensures an alignment between comparative shareholder return and reward for executives,
The performance rights will vest after 2 years as in the table below subject to meeting the performance hurdles described.
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 OFG achieves less than 10% growth in EPS per annum, no Rights vest.
- If OFG achieves 10% growth in EPS or greater, 70% of Rights vest.
- If OFG achieves 11% growth in EPS or greater, 80% of Rights vest.
- If OFG achieves 12% growth in EPS or greater, 90% of Rights vest.
- If OFG achieves 13% growth in EPS or greater, 100% of Rights vest.
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.
Full details of the number of performance rights issued, the vesting dates and the performance hurdles are detailed below:
| Tranche | Grant date | Vesting date | No. of rights EPS hurdles |
No. of rights TSR hurdles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First | 29 May 2006 | 30 June 2007 | 40.251 | 40,251 |

| Fourth | 1 July 2006 | 30 June 2010 | 109,734 | 109,734 |
| Fifth | 1 July 2007 | 30 June 2011 | 137,948 | 137,948 |
The following reconciles the outstanding performance rights granted under the performance rights plan at the beginning and end of the financial year:
| 2009 | 2008 | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of the financial year | 224,289 | 775,394 |
| Granted during the financial year | 275,896 | |
| Forfeited during the financial year | ж. | (699, 253) |
| Expired during the financial year | (69, 635) | (127, 748) |
| Balance at end of the financial year | 154,654 | 224,289 |
For assumptions used in valuing these rights refer to the Remuneration Report.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2009, no performance rights were granted (2008: \$275,896) due to the EPS and TSR performance criteria not being met.
