Independent auditor's review report to the members of Centuria Capital Limited
Report on the financial report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Centuria Capital Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear period ended on that date, notes 1 to 11 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year's end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of Centuria Capital Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Directors' Declaration For the half year ended 31 December 2011

- complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; $(ii)$ and
- there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when $(b)$ they become due and payable.

Corporate information
The interim financial report of Centuria Capital Limited for the half year ended 31 December 2011 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors. Centuria Capital Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
1. Basis of Preparation
Statement of compliance
The interim financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011.
This condensed consolidated interim financial report was approved by the Directors on 24 February 2012.
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 interim financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Estimates
In preparing this consolidated interim financial report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the interim financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group's annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2011.
Comparatives
In order to increase understandability for the main stakeholders of the Group (namely, the shareholders and the policyholders), the financial statements have been restated to show net revenue or net expenses from the benefit funds as a single line, and total assets and total liabilities relating to the benefit funds have also been presented separately. Comparatives and disclosure notes have been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

Terms and conditions relating to the working capital facility and bill facilities above are:
- Centuria has a financing facility with the National Australia Bank (NAB) in the amount of \$15.6 million $(i)$ maturing on 28 February 2013. The facility is made up of two tranches of \$10.4 million and \$5.6 million. The \$10.4 million tranche is drawn to \$8.1 million at 31 December 2011, and the facility limit is reducing at a rate of \$400,000 per quarter. The \$5.6 million tranche is undrawn at 31 December 2011, and the facility limit is reducing at a rate of \$400,000 per quarter commencing with the first payment on 31 May 2012. This is a non-current liability as at 31 December 2011.
- The Group has \$157.9 million (30 June 2011: \$164.8 million) non-recourse notes on issue to the ANZ $(ii)$ Bank secured over the Residential Mortgages and maturing on 31 March 2013. This is a non-current liability as at 31 December 2011.
- As a wholly owned entity, the National Leisure Trust (NLT) has a \$23.5 million bank bill owing to the $(iii)$ NAB which matures on 28 March 2013. This facility is secured by way of a fixed or floating charge over the assets of NLT and its underlying property located at Moonah Links, Fingal, Victoria (Moonah Links) and Pepper Sands Resort Torquay, Victoria (Torquay). The facility is non-recourse to the wider Group and has continued to remain in breach of two loan covenants since reported on 30 June 2009. NAB has noted this position whilst reserving its rights. The balance sheet records the fair value of these assets at the current level of the non-recourse debt. This is a current liability as at 31 December 2011.
