Independent auditor's review report to the members of Centuria Capital Limited
Report on the interim financial report
We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Centuria Capital Limited (the Company) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year period ended on that date, notes 1 to 12 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 period.
Directors' responsibility for the interim financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the interim 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 interim 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 interim 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 interim 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 2013 and its performance for the half-year period 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 an interim 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.

- a) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year period ended on that date; and

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the half year ended 31 December 2013
Corporate information
The interim financial report of Centuria Capital Limited for the half year ended 31 December 2013 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.
Basis of Preparation 1.
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 Group's annual financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013.
This interim financial report was approved by the Directors on 21 February 2014.
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 2013.
Significant accounting policies
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013. The following changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 30 June 2014.
The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 July 2013.
- AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (2011) (a)
- AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (b) $\bullet$
The nature and effect of the changes are further explained below:
(a) Consolidated Financial Statements
As a result of AASB 10 (2011), the Group has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over and consequently whether it consolidates its investees. AASB 10 (2011) introduces a new control model that is applicable to all investees, by focusing on whether the Group has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and ability to use its power to affect those returns. In particular, AASB 10 (2011) requires the Group consolidate investees that it controls on the basis of de facto circumstances. This change had no significant impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
(b) Fair value measurement
AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements, when such measurements are required or permitted by other AASBs. In particular, it unifies the definition of fair value as the price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date. It also replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other AASBs, including AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Some of these disclosures are specifically required in interim financial statements
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the half year ended 31 December 2013
1. Basis of Preparation Significant accounting policies (b) Fair value measurement (cont'd)
for financial instruments; accordingly, the Group has included additional disclosures in this regard (see Note 7).
In accordance with the transitional provisions of AASB 13, the Group has applied the new fair value measurement guidance prospectively, and has not provided any comparative information for new disclosures. The change has resulted in a \$3.2 million decrease in the fair value of the financial instruments. This has been reflected as an "Unrealised gain arising from fair value movements of derivative financial instruments" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NAB has granted a waiver of the amortisation requirement for the quarters ended May 2013, August 2013 and November 2013. The facility maturity date was extended during the period to 31 March 2015. \$3.2 million of the NAB working capital facility is a current liability, \$8.8 million is a non-current liability.
- $(ii)$ The Group has \$125.9 million (30 June 2013: \$135.3 million) non-recourse notes on issue to the ANZ Bank secured over the residential mortgages held in Senex Warehouse Trust No.1 (a subsidiary of the Group) maturing on 28 February 2015. The facility limit (\$170 million) is reassessed every 6 months with a view to reducing the facility (and therefore the overall facility cost) in line with the reduction in the residential mortgage book. Under the facility agreement, surplus funds (being mortgages repaid (including interest) less taxes, administration expenses and any hedge payments) are required to be applied against the facility each month. During the 6 months to 31 December 2013, \$9.4 million surplus funds have been applied against the facility (6 months to 31 December 2012: \$7.7 million).
5. Dividends
There were no dividends paid during the half year ended 31 December 2013 (half year ended 31 December 2012: \$nil).
6. Contingent assets, liabilities and commitments
There are no material contingent liabilities, contingent assets or commitments.
7. Financial Instruments
The tables below analyse recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities, together with the carrying amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as follows.
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
- Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The Group determines Level 2 fair values for financial assets and liabilities without an active market based on broker quotes.
Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivatives are based on broker quotes as well. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting expected future cash flows using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the entity and counterparty when appropriate.
Details of the determination of Level 3 fair value measurements during the six months ended 31 December 2013 are set out below:

Significant assumptions used in determining fair value of Fixed for Life swaps
The objective of Fixed for Life interest rate swap contracts is to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of Fixed for Life residential mortgage loans caused by interest rate fluctuations.
The fair value of the Fixed for Life residential mortgage loans and Fixed for Life interest rate 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 instrument. Discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve out to 15 years is used as the best proxy for interest rates beyond 15 years. Appropriate credit risk spreads have been included in the valuation model when appropriate.
Mortality rates for males and females have been assumed to be consistent with 2013 Life Tables, adjusted in accordance with Towers Watson's report "Reverse mortgage mortality basis" dated February 2013. Mortality improvements of 3% p.a. are assumed starting at age 70. The improvement factor tapers down to 1% p.a. at age 90 and then zero at age 100. Joint life mortality is calculated based on last death for loans with joint borrowers. 50% of residential mortgage loan portfolio consists of joint lives.
Interest rate sensitivity
The following table illustrates the effect on profit after tax if interest rates had been 1% higher or lower and all other variables were held constant in determining the fair value for fixed for life swaps.
