6. DIVIDEND/DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN

Cromwell Property Group operates a distribution reinvestment plan (“Plan”) which enables security holders to reinvest dividends/distributions and acquire Cromwell Property Group stapled securities. The directors may specify a discount rate to be applied to the issue price of stapled securities for Plan participants, however currently no discount applies. The issue price is generally the average of the daily volume weighted average price of stapled securities sold on ASX for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the Plan Record Date to which the distribution relates. The Plan Record Date is generally 15 business days prior to the distribution payment date.

An election to participate in the Plan in respect of some or all of a holding can be made at any time. To participate in the Plan in respect of a specific distribution, the security holder must have lodged their Plan election notice on or before the record date for that distribution.

7. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES

Refer to note 14 of the 2014 annual financial report for details of investments in associates.

8. CHANGES IN CONTROL OVER GROUP ENTITIES

There were no disposals of controlled entities during the 2014 year.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

4. Review of Operations and Results (continued)

(a) Financial performance (continued)

Net earnings from the property portfolio, after property outgoings costs but before interest expense was $214,387,000 an increase of 24% on the previous year. The increase was primarily as a result of additional rental income generated due to the acquisition of the Brisbane CBD properties (acquired May 2013) and the NSW Portfolio (acquired June 2013) and the increased rental income from Qantas Headquarters (due to expansion of the property).

Cromwell also measures the change in like for like net property earnings, taking into account only properties held in both the current and previous financial years. On this basis, net property earnings increased by 1.4% in 2014 despite a very difficult leasing environment. This demonstrates the value of the strong leasing profile of the portfolio combined with the in house management which enables it to get the best out of each property.

Interest expense for the year increased to $70,025,000 (2013: $67,715,000). This increase occurred as a result of the additional borrowings for properties acquired during the prior year and because interest incurred in relation to the Qantas Headquarters is no longer being capitalised into the cost of the project. The average interest cost fell during the year from 6.43% to 5.99%. This fall in average rate reflected a reduction in loan facility margins and lower variable interest rates as the Reserve Bank reduced the cash rate early in the year.

External funds management earnings increased from $3,330,000 in 2013 to $5,491,000 in 2014, reflecting the continuing success of Cromwell in delivering new products to the market and an increase in recurring revenue from assets under management. This highlights the attractiveness of having the funds management business, which can provide Cromwell with additional growth to complement the property income stream.

Development activity for this year continued to be limited, with a small amount of industrial land held for development or resale when the opportunity arises. Cromwell does not seek to undertake any material amount of speculative development.

The profit for the year includes a number of items which are non-cash in nature or occur infrequently and/or relate to realised or unrealised changes in the values of assets and liabilities and in the opinion of the Directors, need to be adjusted for in order to allow securityholders to gain a better understanding of Cromwell and the Trust’s underlying profit from operations.

The most significant of these items impacting the profit of Cromwell for 2014 and not considered part of the underlying profit from operations were:

  • An increase in the fair value of investment properties of $46,226,000 (2013: decrease $55,747,000); and

  • An increase in the fair value of interest rate derivatives of $5,222,000 (2013: increase of $7,326,000).

The increase in fair value of investment properties had two significant components. The underlying valuations for investment properties increased by $40,240,000 during the year, net of property improvements, leasing incentives and lease costs. This is equivalent to an increase in value of approximately 2.3 cents per stapled security from June 2013 valuations. These increases were generally concentrated in properties with longer leases such as the Qantas Headquarters in Sydney, Exhibition Street in Melbourne and Kent Street in Sydney, where properties have increased in value as demand for assets with secure cash flows increases. In contrast, properties with short to medium-term lease expiries or current vacancies such as Mary Street in Brisbane, Tuggeranong Office Park and Keltie Street in Canberra have seen decreases in fair value. This is reflective of the current soft economic conditions and a more difficult leasing market.

Cromwell
2014 2013
$’000 $’000
Change in valuations, net of property improvements, lease costs and incentives 40,240 (32,830)
Non-cash adjustments for straight-lining of rentals and lease amortisation 5,986 3,455
Acquisition transaction costs(properties acquired duringtheyear) - (26,372)
Increase/(decrease) in fair value of investmentproperties 46,226 (55,747)

The increase in fair value of interest rate derivatives arose as a result of Cromwell’s policy to hedge a portion of future interest expense. Cromwell has hedged future interest rates through contracts over 87% of its debt at 30 June 2014 to minimise the risk of changes in interest rates in the future. These contracts expire between October 2014 and December 2017 and can be valued. Although the valuation process is relatively complex, the value is essentially determined by the difference between the actual interest rates which have been agreed under the contracts and what the market forward interest rates are at the date of the valuation until maturity of the hedge contract. The financial result included an increase in fair value of these interest rate derivatives (contracts) held by the Trust of $5,222,000 or 0.3 cents per stapled security. Market rates, and hence valuations, change daily, but the value at the end of an interest rate contract will always be nil and therefore the amounts recognised in profit or loss are expected to reverse over time as the interest rate contracts expire.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

4. Review of Operations and Results (continued)

(b) Profit from operations

Profit from operations for the year was $146,721,000 (2013: $102,411,000).

Profit from operations is considered by the Directors to reflect the underlying earnings of Cromwell and the Trust. It is a key metric taken into account in determining distributions for the Group and Trust, but is a measure which is not calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and has not been audited or reviewed by Cromwell’s auditor.

In the current year the calculation of profit from operations has been amended slightly to include the cost of securities issued under the performance rights plan. The impact of this change has been to reduce profit from operations in the current year by $731,000. Except for this charge, profit from operations has been calculated consistently since the stapling of Cromwell in December 2006.

A reconciliation of profit from operations of Cromwell, as assessed by the Directors, to the reported profit for the year is as follows:

Cents Cents
Profit per security (per statutory accounts) 10.60 3.44
Profit from operations per security (see section 4(b)) 8.52 7.63
Distributions per security 7.63 7.25

Profit from operations on a per security basis is considered by the Directors to be the most important measure of underlying financial performance as it excludes certain volatile and non-cash items but includes the impact of changes in the number of securities on issue.

Profit from operations per security was 8.52 cents (2013: 7.63 cents). This represents an increase of approximately 11.7% which is considered exceptional given the current market conditions.

Distributions paid for the year were 7.63 cents (2013: 7.25 cents), including a June 2014 quarter distribution of 1.9375 cents per stapled security paid on 14 August 2014. This represents a growth in distributions per security of 5.2% in 2014. Growing distributions per security in a sustainable way remains a key priority in the future.

(3) Net debt divided by total assets less cash and cash equivalents.

A total of 15 property assets were externally revalued at June 2014, representing approximately 49% of the property portfolio by value. The balance of the portfolio is subject to internal valuations having regard to previous external valuations and comparable sales evidence. The weighted average capitalisation rate (WACR) was 8.08% across the portfolio, compared with 8.51% at June 2013.

Net debt has decreased by $122,893,000 due to the proceeds of the disposal of several buildings being used to repay borrowings. Gearing also decreased from 46% to 42% during the year as a result of buildings acquired in the prior year having a lower loan to value ratio than those disposed of during the current year.

During the year the majority of debt facilities were refinanced and extended. This resulted in the weighted average debt term increasing to 4.2 years at 30 June 2014.

An additional 13,559,000 stapled securities were issued during the year, at an average issue price of $0.88, comprising the continuing operation of the distribution reinvestment plan which resulted in the issue of 11,188,000 securities during the year, whilst a further 2,372,000 were issued due to the exercise of performance rights.

NTA per security has increased during the year from $0.70 to $0.73, primarily as a result of the increase in value of investment properties. NTA per security excluding the value of interest rate contracts increased to $0.75 per security.

5. Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

Changes in the state of affairs of Cromwell during the financial year are set out within the financial report.

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of Cromwell during the financial year other than as disclosed in this report and the accompanying financial report.

6. Subsequent Events

Other than as set out in note 41, no matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2014 that has significantly affected or may significantly affect:

  • Cromwell’s operations in future financial years; or

  • the results of those operations in future financial years; or

  • Cromwell’s state of affairs in future financial years.

7. Likely Developments

The outlook remains positive for Cromwell despite the continuing sluggish pace of economic growth in Australia.

The property portfolio was 98% leased at year-end, with a 6.1 year weighted average lease term. Importantly, tenant quality is strong, with 45.8% of rental income at balance date underpinned by Government or Government owned/funded entities and a further 37.1% by listed companies or their subsidiaries.

Cromwell’s property portfolio is expected to continue to deliver consistent operating earnings in coming years, although this will to some degree be dependent upon the impact of future economic conditions on portfolio occupancy.

Cromwell will also continue to focus on increasing operating earnings from funds management activities over the medium term.

Cromwell has reduced gearing over the past 2 years and expects to reduce gearing further over time.

Cromwell also aims to grow net tangible assets per security and to continue to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 A-REIT accumulation index over rolling 3 and 5 year periods.

8. Environmental Regulation

The Directors are not aware of any particular and significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth, State or Territory relevant to Cromwell.

11. Remuneration Report (continued)

(a) Remuneration principles (continued)

Objectives

Fundamentally, the Cromwell Property Group aims to support or enhance its operating earnings per security in any given financial year in a way that does not unduly increase the risk profile of Cromwell. Cromwell also seeks to operate within a framework that facilitates both sustainable growth and Cromwell outperforming its peers in the medium - long term.

Cromwell believes its past performance supports its view that the best way to achieve its objectives, and thus serve the interests of securityholders, is to provide a remuneration package to its employees, and particularly KMPs, that is designed to incentivise them to outperform by specifically linking their remuneration to their particular role and responsibilities.

Cromwell’s key financial measures for the last five years are set out below:

2014 2013 2012 2011 2010
Operating earnings per security (as assessed
by the Directors)
8.5 cents 7.6 cents 7.5 cents 7.1 cents 8.5 cents
Change over previous year 12% 1% 6% (16%) (12%)
Distributions per security 7.6 cents 7.3 cents 7.0 cents 7.0 cents 8.0 cents
Change over previous year 4% 4% 0% (13%) (11%)
NTA per security (excl. interest rate swaps) $0.75 $0.72 $0.71 $0.73 $0.71
Change over previous year 4% 1% (3%) 3% (8%)
Gearing 42% 46% 51% 49% 48%
Change over previous year (4%) (5%) 2% 1% (5%)

Cromwell’s Total Securityholder Return (“TSR”) over the last 1, 3 and 5 years relative to benchmark indices is shown below. Given Cromwell’s focus on medium – longer term returns relative to its peers, emphasis is given to performance over 3 and 5 year periods against the S&P/ASX 300 A-REIT Accumulation Index:

Total Securityholder Returns (annualised) 1 Year 3 Year 5 Year
TSR – Cromwell 7.9% 22.4% 24.5%
TSR - S&P/ASX 300 A-REIT accumulation index 11.1% 15.2% 14.3%
Group performance against S&P/ASX 300 A-REIT accumulation index (3.2%) 7.2% 10.2%
TSR – All Ord’s accumulation index 17.6% 9.7% 11.0%
Group performance against All Ord’s accumulation index (9.7%) 12.7% 13.5%

Performance Assessment

The key performance indicators (KPIs) for each KMP take into account their role within Cromwell generally as well as their expected contribution to the achievement of Cromwell’s objectives. The KPIs are designed to best incentivise each KMP to meet Cromwell’s objectives and therefore best serve the interests of securityholders.

Although the specific KPIs are different for each of the KMP, the overriding principles in accordance with which they are determined are the same. The principles involve the assessment of each KMP’s performance according to a traditional balanced scorecard methodology. The balanced scorecard methodology assigns performance and responsibility criteria across four broad categories. These categories are:

Financial Measures: Includes both the performance of Cromwell and the employees’ business unit. Cromwell focuses on maintaining individual securityholder alignment by using operating earnings per security as the major short term financial metric. Other short term financial metrics include distributions per security, changes in NTA per security (excluding interest rate swaps) and gearing. The key long term financial metric is TSR over rolling 3 and 5 year periods relative to the S&P/ASX 300-A-REIT Accumulation Index.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

11. Remuneration Report (continued)

(a) Remuneration principles (continued)

Internal Business Measures: Concentrate on improvement of people, systems and processes to create efficiency and accuracy to support long term business growth. The processes emphasise adherence to governance requirements.

Customer Focussed Measures: Cromwell surveys securityholders, tenants, fund investors and other stakeholders to ascertain customer relationship trends and set KPIs for employees to meet the needs identified by those trends, and to coincide with longer term corporate objectives.

Innovation & Learning Measures: Focuses on the growth of individuals, departments and corporate culture to innovate and extend current capabilities throughout Cromwell.

The weightings of these categories for any individual are set and assessed in consideration of their role, qualifications and experience. However, generally the weightings will be within the bands set out below:

Financial Measures: 40 – 70% Customer Measures: 10 – 30% Internal Business Measures: 10 – 30% Innovation & Learning Measures: 10 – 30%

For all KMP except the Chief Executive Officer and Non-Executive Directors, the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting KPI targets and assessing annually whether those targets have been met. The KPI targets for the Chief Executive Officer are set, revised and reviewed annually by the Committee or the Board.

Remuneration Packages

Fixed Pay

All employees, including all KMP (other than Non-Executive Directors) receive a remuneration package that includes a fixed pay component.

KMP are remunerated at the market median level of their fixed pay, adjusted for factors such as the external market environment and the employee’s position, qualifications, period of service and responsibility within Cromwell. In assessing the level of fixed pay relative to the market, weighting is given to the employee's period of service and their performance over the total employment period.

Short term incentives

Short term incentives are generally included as part of the remuneration package for those employees that can have a material impact on the key marginal drivers of operating earnings in any given financial year. These include such factors as leasing outcomes and changes in property earnings, interest expense, funds management earnings and changes in the investment property portfolio. In the 2014 financial year, 21 employees received short term incentives (2013: 21), 5 of whom were KMP (including the Chief Executive Officer and Finance Director).

Cromwell does not generally take into account non-financial performance indicators in assessing whether or not relevant employees are entitled to short term incentives. In the 2014 financial year no non-financial performance indicators were used when assessing whether short term incentives were payable. All short term incentive payments related to financial performance indicators occurring within the financial year. Short term incentives are generally paid as cash bonuses.

Long term incentives

The granting of long term incentives is considered to be both a retention tool for employees who are considered key to the longer term success of Cromwell and a reward for achieving performance targets in a financial year. No employee has an automatic entitlement to a particular percentage or value of long term incentives in any year.

The executive directors and all employees are eligible to participate in Cromwell’s long term incentive arrangements. Participating employees are offered a choice of long term incentives in the form of either performance rights, issued under Cromwell’s performance rights plan (PRP), or access to a limited recourse interest free loan facility, under Cromwell’s security loan plan (SLP), to fund the acquisition of stapled securities in Cromwell.

Page | 13 of 86

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

11. Remuneration Report (continued)

(a) Remuneration principles (continued)

If performance rights issued under the PRP vest, employees will be issued one stapled security per performance right exercised. Performance rights do not give a participating employee the right to vote at securityholder meetings nor the right to receive a distribution from Cromwell. Any stapled securities acquired by virtue of a loan under the SLP will give the participating employee the right to vote at security holder meetings, and the right to receive distributions from Cromwell, on the same terms as other stapled securities on issue. However, the relevant stapled securities will be security for the participating employee’s obligations under the SLP and any distributions received must be used to repay or reduce the loan amount.

Every three years, the maximum value of the executive directors’ participation in Cromwell’s long term incentive arrangements is discussed and agreed by the Board (using the allocation method discussed below) and put to securityholders for approval. At the 2013 AGM securityholders approved a maximum value of $450,000 per annum for the Chief Executive Officer, and $150,000 per annum for the Finance Director.

Each year the Board (on recommendation from the Committee) considers whether to grant long term incentives to the executive directors and, if so, to what value. In December 2013, 2,042,205 performance rights were granted to the executive directors, vesting in December 2016.

Each year the Committee delegates authority to the Chief Executive Officer to determine which employees other than executive directors will receive long term incentives and, if so, to what value. The Committee considers and, if appropriate, ratifies the Chief Executive Officer’s determination.

Allocations for participating employees, other than the executive directors, are determined annually after the end of each financial year.

In determining the total value of long term incentives to be granted in any one year the performance of Cromwell as a whole is considered. This involves an assessment of whether Cromwell has met its objectives, including a review of Cromwell’s key financial measures. For more information see section (a)(ii) above.

  • The actual value awarded to a participating employee is determined by taking into account the following:

  • the employee’s performance during the previous financial year as assessed against their KPI’s. An employee must have achieved at least 70% of their KPIs in the previous financial year; and

  • the employee’s level of fixed pay. The maximum value of performance rights to be allocated to any employee other than an executive director is generally limited to 25% of their fixed pay.

The Board takes the same factors into account when determining the value of long term incentives that may be granted to the executive directors each year. By determining allocations in this way, Cromwell seeks to ensure that the performance of both the employee and Cromwell is taken into account before long term incentives are issued.

Aggregate, and employee, allocation limits are also in place to ensure a balance between the cost of long term incentives and the benefit of retaining valuable employees. The employee limits also serve to mitigate the risk to Cromwell of nonpayment by an employee under the SLP.

Once a value has been allocated, the participating employee is given the option of participation in either the PRP, the SLP or a combination of the two. If participation in the PRP is selected, the actual number of performance rights that are then granted to the participating employee is determined by dividing the total value awarded to that employee by the fair value of each performance right at grant date. The fair value at grant date for performance rights is determined using a BlackScholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price (including the discount to market value at grant date), the term of the performance right, the security price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying securities, the expected dividend/distribution yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the performance right. The valuation of performance rights is discussed in more detail in section (d) below.

Under the PRP, if performance rights vest they allow eligible employees to obtain stapled securities at a discount to market value. The use of the discount is intended to reduce or avoid the need for employees to obtain significant funding or to sell a substantial number of securities to fund the exercise of performance rights on vesting. The discount is taken into account when determining the value to be issued to a participating employee. Since grants under the PRP are made in value terms, the lower the exercise price the lower the number of performance rights granted and, therefore, the lower the number of securities that may be issued.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

11. Remuneration Report (continued)

(a) Remuneration principles (continued)

Once performance rights are granted, the participating employees will need to meet performance hurdles before they vest. Although the Committee (or the Chief Executive Officer under delegated authority) may impose other conditions, generally performance rights will vest if an employee achieves 70% or greater of their KPIs in two out of the three years comprising the vesting period and are still employed by Cromwell at the end of that three year vesting period. Performance hurdles are assessed at the end of the vesting period. If the performance hurdles are not met, the performance rights will be forfeited. Forfeited performance rights are not re-tested. Performance rights will also lapse if not exercised within the exercise period.

To determine the maximum loan amount, where participation in the SLP is selected, the value of the long term incentive is treated as an interest rate reduction benefit during the loan period (usually expected to be three years). The loan is then used to acquire stapled securities at their “current market value”, being the average of the daily volume weighted average price for all sales of CMW stapled securities on ASX, including special crossings, during the previous 10 trading days.

During the loan period the participating employee cannot deal with the stapled securities acquired under the SLP. At the end of the loan period, provided performance hurdles are met and the outstanding loan balance is less than the market value of stapled securities, the loan balance is immediately repayable. Upon repayment the participating employee will be able to deal with the stapled securities. If the participating employee does not repay the outstanding loan balance, or if the outstanding loan balance is greater than the market value of the stapled securities, the stapled securities will be forfeited.

The performance hurdles under the PRP and the SLP are the same, being, generally, that the participating employee achieved 70% or greater of their KPI’s in two out of the three years comprising the vesting/loan period and remained employed by Cromwell. Performance hurdles are assessed at the end of the vesting/loan period.

In addition to the above, performance rights and stapled securities issued under the SLP will also be forfeited if an employee resigns, has their employment terminated or commits an act which brings Cromwell into disrepute.

Cromwell believes its approach allows employees to align themselves with securityholders by having a financial interest in the long term value of Cromwell’s security price, which acts to maximise TSR.

Below is a table showing the extent to which performance rights have been issued to KMPs (including the executive directors) and to participating employees (including KMPs) over the last three years. To date, no employee has participated in the SLP, which was introduced in 2013.

(iii) External environment

The unemployment rate during the year remained low by historical standards, but has been steadily increasing, in line with the softer economy generally. Whilst this has resulted in an easing labour market, demand for quality employees, particularly in the property and financial services sectors, remains high.

(iv) Non-executive directors remuneration

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. The Board determines remuneration of Non-Executive Directors within the maximum amount approved by security holders from time to time. This maximum currently stands at $1,000,000 per annum in total for fees to be divided among the Non-Executive Directors in such a proportion and manner as they agree.

Non-Executive Directors are paid a fixed remuneration, comprising base fees or salary and superannuation (if applicable). Non-Executive Directors do not receive bonus payments or participate in security-based compensation plans, and are not provided with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation.

11. Remuneration Report (continued)

(c) Details of remuneration: cash bonuses and performance rights

For each cash bonus and grant of performance rights included in the tables in section (b) above, the percentage of the available bonus or grant that was paid, or that vested, in the year, and the percentage that was forfeited because the person did not meet the service and performance criteria is set out below.

No part of the bonus is payable in future years. In addition to existing short-term incentive arrangements, a discretionary bonus of $100,000 in total was also paid to a KMP for the successful refinancing of 92% of Cromwell’s borrowings out to May 2018 and May 2019.

The performance rights are subject to vesting conditions as outlined above. No performance rights will vest if the conditions are not satisfied, hence the minimum value of performance rights yet to vest is $nil. The maximum value of the performance rights yet to vest has been determined as the amount of the grant date fair value of the performance rights that is yet to be expensed at balance date. References to options in the table below relate to performance rights.

7,058,629 2,734,686 (2,125,080) - - 7,668,235

The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights granted is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables in part (b) of the remuneration report. Fair value at grant date for performance rights with no market based vesting conditions are determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the performance right, the security price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying securities, the expected dividend/distribution yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the performance right.

A total of 3,771,928 performance rights were granted during 2014 (2013: 890,414) of which 2,734,686 (2013: 518,153) were issued to Key Management Personnel. The model inputs for performance rights granted during the 2014 year are disclosed in note 32.

Plan rules contain a restriction on removing the “at risk” aspect of the instruments granted to executives. Plan participants may not enter into any transaction designed to remove the “at risk” aspect of an instrument before it vests without explicit approval from the Board.

At 30 June 2014 no performance rights on issue had vested.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cromwell Property Group (“Cromwell”) was formed by the stapling of Cromwell Corporation Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities, and Cromwell Diversified Property Trust (“CDPT”) and its controlled entities (“the Trust”). The Financial Reports of Cromwell and the Trust have been presented jointly in accordance with ASIC Class Order 13/1050 relating to combining accounts under stapling and for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange.

Cromwell was established for the purpose of facilitating a joint quotation of the Company and the Trust on the Australian Securities Exchange. The constitutions of the Trust and the Company ensure that, for so long as the two entities remain jointly quoted, the number of units in the Trust and the number of shares in the Company shall be equal and the unitholders and shareholders are identical. Both the Responsible Entity of the Trust and the Company must at all times act in the best interests of Cromwell.

To account for the stapling, Australian Accounting Standards require an acquirer (Cromwell Corporation Limited) to be identified and an acquisition to be recognised. The net assets and net profit of the acquiree (the Trust and its controlled entities) are recognised as noncontrolling interest as they are not owned by the acquirer in the stapling arrangement.

The stapling arrangement will cease upon the earliest of either the winding up of the Company or the Trust.

The principal accounting polices adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 . Cromwell and the Trust are for-profit entities for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial report complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Historical cost convention

The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:

  • investment properties are measured at fair value;

  • derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value; and

  • investments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value.

  • The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further below.

Functional and presentation currency

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of Cromwell and the Trust.

Application of new accounting standards

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period with the exception of new and amended standards and interpretations mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, which include:

  • AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , AASB 11 Joint Arrangements , AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities , AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards ;

  • AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 ; and,

  • AASB 119 Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) .

Other revised standards that are applicable for the first time for reporting periods beginning on or before 1 January 2013 include:

  • AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ; and,

  • AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle .

The adoption of AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 13 and AASB 119 and related amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies but no adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The changes to relevant accounting policies are explained and summarised below. The other standards only affected the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(a) Basis of preparation (continued)

Change in accounting policy: consolidated financial statements and joint arrangements

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and in Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities .

Cromwell has reviewed the nature of its investments in other entities to assess whether the conclusion to consolidate is affected by the application of AASB 10 as compared with AASB 127. No differences were found and therefore no adjustments to any of the carrying amounts in the financial statements are required as a result of the adoption of AASB 10.

Under AASB 11 investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Cromwell and the Trust have assessed the nature of their joint arrangements and determined to have interests in three joint ventures, Phoenix Portfolios Pty Ltd (“Phoenix”), Cromwell Partners Trust (“CPA”) and Oyster Property Funds Limited (“Oyster”), but no interests in joints operations.

Phoenix was previously classified as an investment in an associate and accounted for using the equity method. It has been determined it falls within the meaning of a joint venture under AASB 11. CPA and Oyster are new investments during the year and they have also been determined to be joint ventures under the new standard.

As required under AASB 11, the change in policy has been applied retrospectively as of 1 July 2012. From this date interests in joint ventures have been accounted for using the equity method. Hence, Cromwell’s accounting for its interests in joint ventures was not affected by the adoption of the new standard since Cromwell had previously applied the equity method in accounting for the interest in Phoenix.

Change in disclosures: d isclosure of interests in entities to which AASB 10 and 11 pertain

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards) is the new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities, setting out the required disclosures for entities reporting under AASB 10 and AASB 11. It replaces the disclosure requirements previously found in AASB 127, AASB 128 and AASB 131. In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements (please see note 14 for details).

Change in accounting policy: employee benefits

The relevant section of the revised standard has changed the accounting for Cromwell’s annual leave obligations. As Cromwell does not expect all annual leave to be taken within 12 months of the respective service being provided, annual leave obligations are now classified as long-term employee benefits in their entirety. This has resulted in a change to the measurement of the provision for annual leave obligations. The provision is now measured on a discounted cash flow basis. The impact of this change was immaterial.

Change in accounting policy: fair value measurement

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across Australian Accounting Standards. The standard does not extend the use of fair value accounting but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other Australian Accounting Standards.

There has been no material change to the valuation of financial assets, financial liabilities or investment properties as a result of the transition to AASB 13.

(b) Principles of consolidation

Stapling

The stapling of the Company and CDPT was approved at separate meetings of the respective shareholders and unitholders on 6 December 2006. Following approval of the stapling, shares in the Company and units in the Trust were stapled to one another and are quoted as a single security on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Australian Accounting Standards require an acquirer to be identified and an in-substance acquisition to be recognised. In relation to the stapling of the Company and CDPT, the Company is identified as having acquired control over the assets of CDPT. To recognise the in-substance acquisition, the following accounting principles have been applied:

  • (1) no goodwill is recognised on acquisition of the Trust because no direct ownership interest was acquired by the Company in the Trust;

  • (2) the equity issued by the Company to unitholders to give effect to the transaction is recognised at the dollar value of the consideration payable by the unitholders. This is because the issue of shares by the Company was administrative in nature rather than for the purposes of the Company acquiring an ownership interest in the Trust; and

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b) Principles of consolidation (continued)

  • (3) the issued units of the Trust are not owned by the Company and are presented as non-controlling interests in Cromwell notwithstanding that the unitholders are also the shareholders by virtue of the stapling arrangement. Accordingly, the equity in the net assets of the Trust and the profit/(loss) arising from these net assets have been separately identified in the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position.

The Trust’s contributed equity and retained earnings/accumulated losses are shown as a non-controlling interest in this Financial Report in accordance with AASB Interpretation 1002 Post-Date-of-Transition Stapling Arrangements and AASB 3 Business Combinations . Even though the interests of the equity holders of the identified acquiree (the Trust) are treated as non-controlling interests the equity holders of the acquiree are also equity holders in the acquirer (the Company) by virtue of the stapling arrangement.

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries as at 30 June 2014 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by Cromwell. Control exists when Cromwell is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the business combinations by Cromwell (refer to note 1(m)).

Inter-entity transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Cromwell entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Cromwell.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position respectively.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the Company. A list of subsidiaries appears in note 35 to the consolidated financial statements.

Associates

Associates are all entities over which Cromwell has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a holding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in Cromwell’s financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. Cromwell’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

Cromwell’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends or distributions receivable from associates are recognised in Cromwell’s financial statements as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investment.

When Cromwell’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, Cromwell does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealised gains on transactions between Cromwell and its associates are eliminated to the extent of Cromwell’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Cromwell.

Joint arrangements

Investments in joint arrangements investments are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.

Interests in joint venture entities are accounted for in Cromwell’s financial statements using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture entity is recognised in profit or loss, and the share of movements in reserves is recognised in reserves.

Profits or losses on transactions establishing the joint venture entity and transactions with the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of Cromwell’s ownership interest until such time as they are realised by the joint venture entity on consumption or sale, unless they relate to an unrealised loss that provides evidence of the impairment of an asset transferred.

Where relevant, Cromwell recognises its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and these are incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Revenue recognition

Rental revenue

Rental revenue from investment property is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rental revenue not received at reporting date is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable or if paid in advance, as rent in advance (unearned income). Lease incentives granted are considered an integral part of the total rental revenue and are recognised as a reduction in rental income over the term of the lease, on a straight-line basis. Contingent rents based on the future amount of a factor that changes other than with the passage of time, including turnover rents and CPI linked rental increases, are only recognised when contractually due.

Funds management revenue

Funds management revenue includes equity raising fees, loan establishment fees, project management fees and acquisition fees, each of which are recognised proportionally to the rendering of the respective service provided.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(d) Income tax

Under current income tax legislation the Trust is not liable to pay tax provided its taxable income and taxable realised capital gains are distributed to unitholders. The liability for capital gains tax that may arise if the properties were sold is not accounted for in this report.

Cromwell’s income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Tax consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned entities (this excludes the Trust and its controlled 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 taxconsolidated group is Cromwell Corporation Limited.

Current tax expense/income, 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 the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities or assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to (from) other entities in the taxconsolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts referred to in the following section. Any difference between these amounts is recognised by the Company as an equity contribution or distribution.

The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Any subsequent period adjustment to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses, as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability, is recognised by the head entity only.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(d) Income tax (continued)

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing arrangements

The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group, has entered into a tax funding arrangement, which sets out the funding obligations of members of the tax-consolidated group in respect of tax amounts. The tax funding arrangements require payments to/from the head entity equal to the current tax liability (asset) assumed by the head entity and any tax-loss deferred tax asset assumed by the head entity, resulting in the head entity recognising an inter-entity receivable (payable) equal in amount to the tax liability (asset) assumed. The inter-entity receivable (payable) are at call.

Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable as per the tax funding arrangement and reflect the timing of the head entity’s obligation to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities.

The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group, has also entered into a tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement, as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement is considered remote.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(f) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment of receivables. Receivables relating to operating leases of investment properties are due on the first day of each month, payable in advance. Other receivables are usually due for settlement no more than 90 days from the date of recognition.

Collectibility of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Cromwell will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of trade and other receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term trade and other receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the provision is recognised in profit or loss.

(g) Inventories

Land held for development and resale is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is assigned by specific identification and includes the cost of acquisition and development and borrowing costs during development. When development is completed borrowing costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred.

(h) Investment properties

Investment property is property which is held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both and includes property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. Initially, investment property is measured at cost including transaction costs.

Investment property is subsequently measured at fair value, with any change therein recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Fair value is based upon active market prices, given the assets highest and best use, adjusted if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the relevant asset. If this information is not available, Cromwell uses alternative valuation methods such as discounted cash flow projections or the capitalised earnings approach. The highest and best of an investment property refers to the use of the investment property by market participants that would maximise the value of that investment property.

The carrying value of the investment property includes components relating to lease incentives and other items relating to the maintenance of, or increases in, lease rentals in future periods.

For further information in relation to fair value measurement as it pertains to the investment property refer to note 3(d).

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) Investments and other financial assets

Cromwell classifies its investments as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading which are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term with the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss also includes financial assets which upon initial recognition are designated as such.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance date.

Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date – the date on which Cromwell commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and Cromwell has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category, including interest and dividend income, are presented in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Changes in the fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss as gains or losses from investment securities.

Cromwell assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-forsale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss – is reclassified from equity and recognised in profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through profit or loss.

(j) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Cromwell and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate cost of assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Class Rate
Plant and equipment 10-67%
Furniture and fittings 18%

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

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(l)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

(k) Intangible assets

Software assets have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of software over its estimated useful life of 3 years on average.

Page | 37 of 86

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(l) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

At each reporting date, and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur, Cromwell assesses whether there is any indication that any other asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, Cromwell makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Assets other than goodwill that suffer an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

(m) Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by Cromwell. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisitionby-acquisition basis, Cromwell recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of Cromwell’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired are recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(n) Lease incentives

Lessees may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into non-cancellable operating leases. These incentives may take various forms including up front cash payments, rent free periods, or a contribution to certain lessee costs such as fit out costs or relocation costs. They are recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position as a component of the carrying amount of investment property and amortised over the lease period as a reduction of rental income.

(o) Initial direct leasing costs

Initial direct leasing costs incurred by Cromwell in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position as a component of the carrying amount of investment property and are amortised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

(p) Repairs and maintenance

Repairs and maintenance costs and minor renewals are charged as expenses when incurred.

(q) Derivative financial instruments

Cromwell is exposed to changes in interest rates and uses interest rate derivatives to hedge these risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at balance date. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative.

Cromwell enters into interest rate swap agreements that are used to convert certain variable interest rate borrowings to fixed interest rates. The derivatives are entered into with the objective of hedging the risk of adverse interest rate fluctuations. While Cromwell has determined that these arrangements are economically effective, they have not satisfied the documentation, designation and effectiveness tests required by accounting standards. As a result, they do not qualify for hedge accounting and gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

For further information in relation to fair value measurement as it pertains to derivative financial instruments refer to note 3(c).

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to Cromwell prior to the end of the year and which are unpaid. The amounts are usually unsecured and paid within 30-60 days of recognition.

(s) Borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Under this method fees, costs, discounts and premiums directly related to the financial liability are spread over its expected life. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Cromwell has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance date.

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing net of any interest earned on those borrowings. Where funds are borrowed generally the capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs to capitalise is the weighted average interest rate applicable to Cromwell’s outstanding borrowings during the year.

(t) Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less any cumulative amortisation.

The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations. Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries or associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

(u) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Cromwell has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

(v) Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employee’s services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

Long service leave

The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using relevant discount rates at the end of the reporting period that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

Superannuation

Contributions are made by Cromwell to defined contribution superannuation funds. Contributions are charged as expenses as they become payable.

Security-based payments

The fair value of options and performance rights granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options or performance rights.

The fair value at grant date is determined using a pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term, the security price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying security, the expected distribution yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term.

Page | 39 of 86

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(v) Employee benefits (continued)

The fair value of the options or performance rights granted is adjusted to reflect the probability of market vesting conditions being met, but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options or performance rights that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options or performance rights that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Bonus plans

Cromwell recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(w) Leases (as lessee)

Leases of assets where Cromwell has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in liabilities. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The depreciable assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Where there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the asset’s useful life.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(x) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares and units are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, units or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Where any group company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a sharebased payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the securityholders as treasury shares until the securities are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary securities are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to securityholders.

(y) Dividends/distributions

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend/distribution declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of Cromwell, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.

(ab) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company/CDPT, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(ac) 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.

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

(ad) Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.

(1) This IASB Standard was also issued but not yet effective, although an Australian equivalent standard has not yet been issued.

The Directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future years may have the following impacts:

AASB 9 – This revised standard provides guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets, which is the first phase of a multi-phase project to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement . Under the new guidance, a financial asset is to be measured at amortised cost only if it is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are payments solely of principal and interest (on the principal amount outstanding). All other financial assets are to be measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of investments in equity securities that are not part of a trading activity may be reported directly in equity, but upon realisation those accumulated changes in value are not recycled to profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of all other financial assets carried at fair value are reported in profit or loss. The Directors do not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on the financial statements and related disclosures. In the second phase of the replacement project, the revised standard incorporates amended requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. The new requirements pertain to liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, whereby the portion of the change in fair value related to changes in the entity’s own credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. The Directors believe there will be no material impact on Cromwell’s accounting for financial liabilities. Cromwell intends to adopt the new standard from 1 July 2018.

AASB 2012-3 – The amendments to AASB 132 clarify when an entity has a legally enforceable right to set-off financial assets and financial liabilities permitting entities to present balances net on the balance sheet. The amendments to AASB 7 increase the disclosure about offset positions, including the gross position and the nature of the arrangements. The Directors believe the adoption of the standards will not result in any material changes to Cromwell’s financial statements.

AASB 2013-3 – These amendments introduce changes to AASB 136 to require the disclosure of additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposal. This includes further disclosures about the discount rates used in current and previous measurements if the recoverable amount of impaired assets based on fair value less costs of disposal was measured using a present value technique. The Directors believe the adoption of the amendments will not result in any material changes to Cromwell’s financial statements.

AASB 2013-4 – These amendments introduce changes to AASB 139 to permit the continuation of hedge accounting in circumstances where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations. The Directors believe the adoption of the amendments will not result in any material changes to Cromwell’s financial statements as Cromwell and the Trust currently do not engage in hedge accounting.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(af) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)

AASB 2013-5 – These amendments to AASB10 (and others) define an investment entity and require that, with limited exceptions, an investment entity not consolidate its subsidiaries or apply AASB 3 when it obtains control of another entity. Instead, an investment entity is to measure unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9. At this time the Directors believe the adoption of the amendments will not result in any impact on Cromwell as it does not meet the definition of an investment entity itself, nor has any subsidiaries that currently do.

AASB 2014-1 Part A – These amendments introduce various changes to currently applicable AASBs. The Directors believe the adoption of the amendments will not result in any material changes to Cromwell and the Trust’s financial statements.

AASB 1031 – This standard is being withdrawn and consequential amendments made to other standards and interpretations in light of the guidance on materiality available in existing Australian Accounting Standards; the revised IASB Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting; and the AASB’s policy of not providing unnecessary local guidance on matters covered by IFRSs. The Directors believe the withdrawal of the standard and adoption of the amendments to others will not result in any material changes to Cromwell and the Trust’s financial statements.

IFRS 15 – This new standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognising revenue. The model features a contract-based five step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. The Group is yet to assess the impact of the new standard.

2. Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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 and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are:

Fair value of investment property

The investment properties are valued every year by external valuers. Values are based upon active market prices, adjusted if necessary for conditions specific to the investment property. If this information is not available, Cromwell uses alternative valuation methods such as discounted cash flow projections and the capitalisation of income approach.

Refer to note 3(d) for more information in relation to the inputs and techniques used to derive the fair values of investment properties.

Financial instruments

A variety of methods are used to calculate the value of financial instruments and make assumptions that are based upon market conditions existing at balance date. Valuation of derivative financial instruments involves assumptions based upon quoted market rates adjusted for the specific features of the relevant instrument. The valuations of any financial instrument may change in the event of market volatility.

Refer to notes 3 (b) and (c) for more information in relation to the inputs and techniques used to derive the fair value of financial instruments.

3. Fair Value Estimation

Cromwell measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis:

  • Investment properties;

  • Investments at fair value through profit or loss; and

  • Derivative financial instruments.

(a) Fair value hierarchy

Recognised fair value measurements

The different levels of fair value hierarchy have been defined as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the financial year. The only level 3 asset is investment property. Refer to note 12 for a roll forward of this asset.

Disclosed fair values

The fair values of investment property (Level 3) and derivative financial instruments (Level 2) are disclosed in the statement of financial position.

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, other current assets, trade and other payables and distributions payable are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of non-current borrowings is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rates that are available to Cromwell for similar financial instruments. The fair value of these borrowings is not materially different from the carrying value due to their relatively short-term nature.

(b) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 1 fair values

Fair value of investments at fair value through profit or loss

Level 1 assets held by Cromwell include listed equity securities.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets is based on their quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. Cromwell values its investments in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements. Owing to the current composition of its portfolio, Cromwell relies on publicly available market information for the valuation of its investments.

The quoted market price used for financial assets and liabilities held by Cromwell is the current final closing price.

A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis

(c) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 fair values

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

At initial recognition, Cromwell measures a financial asset or liability at its fair value. Transaction costs in relation to financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Fair value of investments at fair value through profit or loss

Level 2 assets held by Cromwell include unlisted equity securities. The fair value of these financial instruments is based upon the net tangible assets as reported by the underlying unlisted entity, adjusted for inherent risk where appropriate.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

3. Fair Value Estimation (continued)

(c) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 fair values (continued)

Fair value of derivative financial instruments

Level 2 assets held by Cromwell include “Vanilla” fixed to floating interest rate swap derivatives (over-the-counter derivatives). The fair value of interest rate derivatives has been determined using a pricing model based on discounted cash flow analysis which incorporates assumptions supported by observable market data at balance date including market expectations of future interest rates and discount rates adjusted for any specific features of the derivatives and counterparty or own credit risk. All counterparties to interest rate derivatives are Australian financial institutions.

(d) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 3 fair values

Fair value of investment property

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based upon observable market data the asset or liability is included in Level 3. Cromwell holds no Level 3 financial instruments. However, Cromwell has investment properties with an aggregate carrying amount of approximately $2,249,470,000 that are valued using techniques whereby at least one significant input is not observable market data, and hence they are considered to be Level 3 assets for the purposes of fair value measurement.

The highest and best use of each investment property is taken into consideration when determining their fair values. The highest and best use of an investment property refers to the use of the investment property by a market participant that would maximise the value of that property. With respect to Cromwell’s investment properties, the current use is considered to be the highest and best use. Within this construct, fair value is determined within a range of reasonable estimates utilising both capitalisation of net market income and discounted future cash flow methodologies and comparing the results to market sales evidence.

The most appropriate evidence of fair value is given by current prices in an active market for similar property in the same location and condition and subject to similar leases. Where sufficient market information is not available, or to supplement this information, management considers other relevant information including:

  • Current prices for properties of a different nature, condition or location, adjusted to reflect those differences;

  • Recent prices of similar properties in a less active market, with adjustments to reflect changes in economic conditions or other factors;

  • Capitalised income calculations based on an assessment of current net market income for that property or other similar properties, a capitalisation rate taking into account market evidence for similar properties and adjustments for any differences between market rents and contracted rents over the term of existing leases and deductions for short term vacancy or lease expiries, incentive costs and capital expenditure requirements; and

  • Discounted cash flow forecasts including estimates of future cash flows based on current leases in place for that property, historical operating expenses, reasonable estimates of current and future rents and operating expenses based on external and internal assessments and using discount rates that appropriately reflect the degree of uncertainty and timing inherent in current and future cash flows.

The fair value adopted for each investment property has been supported by an independent external valuation of that property undertaken within the past 12 months. As part of this process, an external, independent valuer, having an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of property, values each investment property at least every year or on a more regular basis if considered appropriate and as determined by management in accordance with the valuation policy of Cromwell.

The significant unobservable inputs associated with the valuation of Cromwell’s investment properties are as follows:

Inputs Range Weighted Average
Annual Net Property Income ($’000) 1,203 – 25,438 12,780
Capitalisation rate (%) 6.50% - 12.25% 8.08%
Weighted average lease term (years) 1.0 – 17.1 6.1
Discount rate (%) 8.25% - 11.50% 9.04%
Occupancy (%) 80.3% - 100.0% 98.1%

Sensitivity Information

The relationships between the significant unobservable inputs and the fair value are as follows:

Inputs Impact on Fair Value from Impact on Fair Value from
increase in input decrease in input
Annual Net Property Income Increase Decrease
Capitalisation rate Decrease Increase
Weighted average lease term Increase Decrease
Discount rate Decrease Increase

4. Capital Risk Management

Cromwell’s capital management strategy seeks to maximise securityholder value through optimising the level and use of capital resources and the mix of debt and equity funding.

Cromwell’s capital management objectives are to:

  • ensure that Cromwell entities comply with capital and dividend/distribution requirements of their constitutions and/or trust deeds;

  • ensure sufficient capital resources to support Cromwell’s operational requirements;

  • continue to support Cromwell’s creditworthiness;

  • comply with capital requirements of relevant regulatory authorities; and

  • safeguard Cromwell’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Cromwell monitors the adequacy of its capital requirements, cost of capital and gearing (i.e. debt/equity mix) as part of its overall strategic plan. Cromwell’s capital structure is continuously reviewed to ensure:

  • sufficient funds and financing facilities are available, on a cost effective basis, to implement Cromwell’s strategies; and

  • dividends/distributions to members are made within the stated policy.

Cromwell is able to alter its capital mix by:

  • issuing new stapled securities;

  • activating its dividend/distribution reinvestment plan;

  • adjusting the amount of dividends/distributions paid to members;

  • activating its security buyback program; and

  • selling assets to reduce borrowings.

Cromwell also protects its equity in assets by taking out insurance cover with creditworthy insurers.

One of the key ways Cromwell monitors capital adequacy is on the basis of the gearing ratio. The ratio is calculated as net debt divided by adjusted assets. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Adjusted assets are calculated as total assets less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and intangible assets. The gearing ratios for both Cromwell and the Trust at each balance date were as follows:

Cromwell Cromwell Trust Trust
2014 2013 2014 2013
$’000 $’000 $’000 $’000

5. Financial Risk Management

Cromwell’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (interest rate risk and price risk). The overall risk management program focuses on managing these risks and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of Cromwell. Cromwell uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate derivatives to hedge certain risk exposures. Cromwell seeks to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. Liquidity risk is monitored through the use of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

Cromwell’s management of treasury activities is centralised and governed by policies approved by the Directors who monitor the operating compliance and performance as required. Cromwell has policies for overall risk management as well as policies covering specific areas such as identifying risk exposure, analysing and deciding upon strategies, performance measurement, the segregation of duties and other controls around the treasury and cash management functions.

Cromwell and the Trust hold the following financial instruments:

(3) At fair value – held for trading

(4) At amortised cost

(a) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations under a financial instrument and result in a financial loss to Cromwell. Cromwell has exposure to credit risk on all financial assets included in the statement of financial position except investments at fair value through profit or loss.

Cromwell manages this risk by:

  • establishing credit limits for customers and managing exposure to individual entities;

  • monitoring the credit quality of all financial assets in order to identify any potential adverse changes in credit quality;

  • derivative counterparties and cash transactions, when utilised, are transacted with high credit quality financial institutions;

  • providing loans to associates where Cromwell is comfortable with the underlying exposure;

  • regularly monitoring loans and receivables on an ongoing basis; and

  • regularly monitoring the performance of associates on an ongoing basis.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount of financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position of Cromwell. Cromwell holds no significant collateral as security. There are no significant financial assets that have had renegotiated terms that would otherwise have been past due or impaired.

Cash is held with Australian financial institutions. Interest rate derivative counterparties are all Australian financial institutions.

The ageing analysis of receivables past due at balance date but not impaired is as follows:

1 to 3 months 1,060 3,269 1,060 3,269
3 to 6 months - 223 - 223
Over 6 months - 345 - 345

5. Financial Risk Management (continued)

(b) Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash reserves and finance facilities to meet the ongoing operational requirements of the business. It is Cromwell’s policy to maintain sufficient funds in cash and cash equivalents to meet expected near term operational requirements. Cromwell prepares and monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity requirements on the basis of expected cash flow. Cromwell monitors the maturity profile of borrowings and puts in place strategies designed to ensure that all maturing borrowings are refinanced in the required timeframes.

The current weighted average debt maturity of Cromwell and the Trust is 4.3 years (2013: 2.2 years).

Contractual maturity of financial liabilities (borrowings and payables) of Cromwell and the Trust, including interest thereon, are as follows:

(c) Market Ris k

  • (i) Price risk – Listed equity securities

Cromwell and the Trust are exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by Cromwell and the Trust classified on the balance sheet as investments at fair value through profit and loss (refer note 13). Cromwell and the Trust are not exposed to commodity price risk. A small proportion of Cromwell and the Trust’s equity investments are publicly traded and are included in the ASX All Ordinaries index.

Cromwell and Trust sensitivity

The table below details Cromwell and the Trust’s sensitivity to movements in the ASX All Ordinaries, based on the financial instruments held at balance date with all other variables held constant and assuming all Cromwell and the Trust’s equity instruments moved in correlation with the index.

  • (ii) Price risk – Unlisted equity securities

Cromwell and the Trust are exposed to price risk in relation to its unlisted equity securities (refer note 13) acquired during the year. Cromwell and the Trust use the fair value of the net assets of the unlisted equity securities to determine the fair value of its investments in the same. The fair value of the net assets of the unlisted equity securities is predominantly dependent on the market value of the investment property they hold. Any movement in the market value of the investment property will impact on the fair value of Cromwell and the Trust’s investment.

Cromwell and Trust sensitivity

The table below details Cromwell and the Trust’s sensitivity to movements in the market values of investment property’s held by unlisted equity investments, based on the unlisted equity investments held at balance date with all other variables held constant and assuming all Cromwell and the Trust’s unlisted equity instruments moved in correlation with the market values of the underlying investment property’s.

5. Financial Risk Management (continued)

(c) Market Risk (continued)

(iii) Interest rate risk

Cromwell’s interest-rate risk primarily arises from borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose Cromwell to cash flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose Cromwell to fair value interest-rate risk. Cromwell’s policy is to effectively maintain hedging arrangements on not less than 50% of its borrowings. At balance date 87% (2013: 86%) of Cromwell’s borrowings were effectively hedged.

Cromwell manages its cash flow interest-rate risk by using interest rate derivatives. Such interest rate derivatives have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed or a limited range of rates. Generally, Cromwell raises long term borrowings at floating rates and hedges a portion of them into fixed or capped rates. Under the interest-rate derivatives, Cromwell agrees with other counter parties to exchange, at specified intervals (usually 30 days), the difference between contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.

The fixed or limited interest rates range between 2.98% and 5.95% (2013: 2.98% and 5.95%) and the variable rates are generally based on the 30 day bank bill swap bid rate which at balance date was 2.66% (2013: 2.87%). At balance date, the notional principal amounts and periods of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts are detailed as follows:

Cromwell and the Trust 2014 2013
$’000 $’000
Less than 1 year 379,100 262,400
1-2 years 31,730 216,700
2-3 years 270,000 31,730
3-4 years 286,450 270,000
4-5years - 286,450
967,280 1,067,280

Because Cromwell’s interest rate derivatives do not meet the accounting requirements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment, gains or losses arising from changes in fair value have been reflected in the profit or loss.

Information on borrowings and the maturity profile of borrowings including interest thereon is set out in Note 20. Information on additional interest rate derivative transactions undertaken since balance date is set out in Note 41.

The tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of certain tax losses (both revenue and capital) because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the consolidated entity can utilise the benefits from the deferred tax assets. All unused tax losses were incurred by Australian entities.

(d) Tax consolidation

Refer note 1(d) for details regarding the relevance of the tax consolidation system to the consolidated entity, the tax funding arrangements and other information.

No amounts were recognised during the year (2013: $nil) as tax consolidation contributions by, or distributions to, equity participants.

(a) Loans – related parties

Cromwell Property Trust 12

The Cromwell Property Trust 12 (“C12”), ARSN 166 216 995, an unlisted multi-property trust was constituted on 20 June 2013 and registered on 22 October 2013. Cromwell Funds Management Limited (“CFM”), a subsidiary of the Company, has acted as responsible entity since C12’s inception. C12 was established to acquire and hold three properties and has a fixed term until 2020.

CFM issued a PDS on 29 October 2013 in order to raise up to $76,000,000 from investors in C12.

Cromwell and the Trust have provided a loan facility of $50,000,000 to C12, which is unsecured, to enable the acquisition of the buildings and provide funding for initial construction. The facility was drawn to a maximum $37,189,000 during the financial year, but repaid in full prior to balance date. While the loan was drawn down Cromwell and the Trust earned a return equivalent to the C12 distribution rate of 7.75%.

Cromwell Box Hill Trust

During the year the Cromwell Box Hill Trust ARSN 161 394 243 (“BHT”), an unlisted single property trust, for which Cromwell Funds Management Limited (“CFM”), a subsidiary of the Company, acts as responsible entity, was advanced a short term loan of $2,000,000.

The loan facility was unsecured and the funds were utilised to settle final construction costs for which BHT was liable. The loan was repaid in full as soon as BHT had external funding arrangements in place. While the loan was drawn down, Cromwell and the Trust earned a return equivalent to the BHT distribution rate of 7.75%.

(b) Past due but not impaired receivables

At balance date, Cromwell and the Trust had $1,060,000 (2013: $3,837,000) of trade and other receivables which were past due but not impaired which relate to a number of tenants for whom there is no recent history of default.

(c) Impaired receivables

As at 30 June 2014 $355,000 trade receivables of Cromwell and the Trust were impaired (2013: $nil).

13. Investments at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

These investments are designated at fair value through profit or loss. Gains and losses are shown in profit or loss.

14. Equity Accounted Investments

At balance date Cromwell had investments in three joint ventures, Phoenix Portfolios Pty Ltd (“Phoenix”), Cromwell Partners Trust (“CPA”) and Oyster Property Funds Limited (“Oyster”).

Phoenix

This entity was formed in Australia and its principal activity is investment management. The reporting date for Phoenix is the same as for Cromwell. During the prior year additional non-voting equity was issued to a third party which reduced Cromwell’s ownership interest from 50% to 45% whilst preserving the Cromwell’s 50% ownership of issued capital to which voting rights attach. The remaining 50% of issued capital to which voting rights attach is held by one other investor.

CPA

During the year Cromwell acquired a 50% ownership interest in the CPA. CPA is the parent of Cromwell Northpoint Trust, which itself owns the Northpoint Building in the North Sydney CBD. The reporting date for CPA is the same as for Cromwell. Cromwell acts as the trustee for the trust. The remaining 50% of the units in the CPA are held by a single investor. A unit holder agreement between Cromwell and the other investor limits the power of the trustee such that Cromwell’s investment in CPA has been determined to be a jointly controlled entity.

Oyster

During the year Cromwell acquired a 50% ownership interest in Oyster. This entity was formed in New Zealand and its principal activity is investment and property management. The reporting date for Oyster is the same as for Cromwell. The remaining 50% ownership of Oyster is held by six investors. The board of Oyster comprises three representatives appointed by the six investors and three representatives from Cromwell with no deciding or “chairman’s” vote. A shareholder agreement between Cromwell and the six investors outlines how Oyster will be managed. By virtue of the board arrangement and the shareholder agreement, Cromwell’s investment in Oyster has been determined to be a jointly controlled entity.

CPF

Cromwell and the Trust previously held an investment in an associate, Cromwell Property Fund (“CPF”). The remaining units of CPF not previously owned by Cromwell and the Trust were acquired during the prior year (refer note 38).

(a) Investments

The investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Information relating to the investments is detailed below:

(c) Unused Finance Facilities

At balance date Cromwell had no unused finance facilities (2013: $74,055,000).

(d) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate Derivatives

Cromwell manages its cash flow interest-rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate derivatives. Such interest rate derivatives have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, Cromwell raises long term borrowings at floating rates and a portion of them into fixed or limited range of rates.

Information regarding Cromwell’s exposure to interest rates is provided in note 5.

The basis of allocation of the issue price of stapled securities issued post stapling is determined by agreement between the Company and the Trust as set out in the Stapling Deed.

The Company/CDPT has established a dividend/distribution reinvestment plan under which holders of stapled securities may elect to have all of their dividend/distribution entitlement satisfied by the issue of new ordinary stapled securities rather than being paid in cash. Securities may be issued under the plan at a discount to the market price as determined by the Directors before each dividend/distribution. During 2014 and 2013 all securities were issued at market price, with no discount.

24. Contributed Equity

(b) Stapled Securities

The ordinary shares of the Company are stapled with the units of the Trust. These entitle the holder to participate in dividends and distributions as declared from time to time and the proceeds on winding up. On a show of hands every holder of stapled securities present at a meeting in person, or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each stapled security is entitled to one vote.

A reconciliation of the stapled number of ordinary shares of the Company and ordinary units of the Trust is as follows:

Changes in the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are taken to the available-for-sale financial assets revaluation reserve. Amounts are recognised in profit or loss when the associated assets are disposed/sold or impaired.

For Cromwell the balance at year end comprises a reserve of a subsidiary attributable to its pre-stapling interest in a trust which continues to be held. For Cromwell there was no movement in the available-for-sale financial assets revaluation reserve over the last two financial years.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

32. Share Based Payments

(a) Performance Rights Plan

A Performance Rights Plan (PRP) was established in September 2007 by the Company. All full-time and part-time employees who meet minimum service, remuneration and performance requirements, including executive Directors of the Company, are eligible to participate in the PRP at the discretion of the Board. Participation in the PRP by executive Directors is subject to securityholder approval. The PRP is designed to provide long-term incentives for employees to continue employment and deliver long-term securityholder returns.

Under the PRP, eligible employees are allocated performance rights. Each performance right enables the participant to acquire a stapled security in Cromwell, at a future date and exercise price, subject to conditions. The number of performance rights allocated to each participant is set by the Board or the Nomination & Remuneration Committee and based on individual circumstances and performance.

The amount of performance rights that will vest under the PRP depends on a combination of factors which may include Cromwell’s total securityholder returns (including price growth, dividends and capital returns), internal performance measures and the participant’s continued employment. Performance rights allocated under the PRP generally vest in 3 years. Until performance rights have vested, the participant cannot sell or otherwise deal with the performance rights except in certain limited circumstances. It is a condition of the PRP that a participant must remain employed by Cromwell in order for performance rights to vest. Any performance rights which have not yet vested on a participant leaving employment must be forfeited.

Under AASB 2 “Share based Payment”, the performance rights are treated as options for accounting purposes.

Set out below are summaries of the number of performance rights granted and exercised.

Fair Value of Performance Rights Granted

Performance rights do not have any market-based vesting conditions. The fair values at grant date for performance rights determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the security price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying security, the expected dividend/distribution yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

The model inputs for performance rights granted during the year ended 30 June 2014 included:

Exercise price $0.00 $0.10 $0.50 $0.50
Grant date 18/12/13 18/12/13 18/12/13 18/12/13

36. Segment Information

(a) Description of segments

Reportable Cromwell segments

Cromwell has identified its operating segments based on its internal reports which are regularly reviewed and used by the chief executive officer in order to make decisions about resource allocation and to assess the performance of Cromwell. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief executive officer. The segments offer different products and services and are managed separately.

Property Investment

The ownership of properties located throughout Australia.

Property/Internal Funds Management

Property management includes property and facility management, leasing and project management for the Trust and all Cromwell managed investment schemes. Internal funds management includes the management of the Trust.

External Funds Management

The establishment and management of external funds.

Property Development

Property development, including development management, development finance and joint venture activities.

Trust

The Trust has one reportable segment, being property investment. Revenue is derived from rentals and associated recoverable outgoings. The Trust’s properties are leased on a commercial basis incorporating varying lease terms and conditions. These include the lease period, renewal options, periodic rent and, where applicable, indexation based on CPI, fixed and/or market reviews.

(b) Other segment information

  • (i) Accounting policies

Segment information is prepared in conformity with the accounting policies of Cromwell as disclosed in note 1 and Accounting Standard AASB 8 Operating Segments .

Segment revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are those that are directly attributable to a segment and the relevant portion that can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist primarily of operating cash, receivables, inventories, investment properties, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, net of related provisions. While most of these assets can be directly attributable to individual segments, the carrying amounts of certain assets used jointly by segments are allocated based on reasonable estimates of usage. Segment liabilities consist primarily of trade and other payables, employee benefits and provisions.

  • (ii) Inter-segment transactions

Segment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. Such transfers are priced on an “arms-length” basis and are eliminated on consolidation.

  • (iii) Equity-accounted investments

Cromwell has two Australian jointly controlled entities (Phoenix Portfolios Pty Ltd and Cromwell Partners Trust) and one New Zealand jointly controlled entity (Oyster Property Funds Limited). All jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method. Phoenix Portfolios Pty Ltd and Oyster Property Funds Limited are included in the external funds management segment. Cromwell Partners Trust is included in the property investment segment.

In 2013, Cromwell also had an investment in an Australian associate, Cromwell Property Fund, until its full acquisition on 4 October 2012 – see notes 14 and 38. Cromwell Property Fund was accounted for up to the date of its acquisition using the equity method and included in the property investment segment.

  • (iv) Major customers

Revenue from major customers is outlined below and all form part of the property investment segment.

38. Business Combination

Acquisition of Cromwell Property Fund

On 4 October 2012 Cromwell and the Trust acquired the remaining units they did not already own of Cromwell Property Fund (“CPF”). As a result, Cromwell and the Trust’s equity interest in CPF increased from 18% to 100% (refer note 13). The acquisition complemented Cromwell and the Trust’s existing property portfolio and benefits are expected to be generated from operational synergies and economies of scale.

Following the acquisition, Cromwell and the Trust consolidated the assets and liabilities and performance of CPF, including the property portfolio which was valued at $171,372,000 (refer note 12). Prior to the acquisition, CPF was accounted for as an associate of Cromwell (refer note 14).

Cromwell and the Trust have recognised the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities based upon the best available information at the acquisition date. The business combination accounting is as follows:-

The cash flows on acquisition were as follows
Cash consideration paid (582)
Cash acquired from business combination 3,142
Net inflow of cash – investing activities 2,560

(i) Equity instruments issued

The fair value of the stapled securities issued was based upon the adjusted share price of Cromwell at 4 October 2012 of $0.75 per stapled security.

(ii) Acquisition-related costs

Cromwell incurred acquisition-related costs of $631,000 including legal and other professional fees and other transaction execution costs. These have been included as Merger Transaction costs in Cromwell’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income and in investing cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

(iii) Acquired receivables

The fair value of acquired trade receivables is $508,000. The gross contractual amount for trade receivables due is $508,000, all of which has been recovered.

(iv) Revenue and profit contribution

The acquired business contributed revenues of $14,831,000 and net loss of $14,614,000 to Cromwell for the period from 4 October 2012 to 30 June 2013 and contributed revenues of $15,056,000 and net loss of $14,904,000 for the Trust for the same period.

If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2012, consolidated revenue and profit for the year ended 30 June 2013 would have been $247,641,000 and $33,720,000 respectively for Cromwell and $238,874,000 and $30,836,000 respectively for the Trust. These amounts have been calculated using Cromwell’s accounting policies.

39. Contingent Liabilities

The Directors are not aware of any material contingent liabilities of Cromwell or the Trust (2013: nil).

Interest Rate Cap

The interest rate cap has been structured as an accreting interest rate cap, starting with a notional principal amount of $32,700,000 and increasing to $1,000,000,000 by December 2017 then continuing at this level until May 2019. The notional principal amount increases as each of the existing interest rate swaps expire. The new interest rate cap ensures a maximum base interest rate of 3.39% (excluding loan facility margins) is payable on previously variable rate borrowings.

Sale of 321 Exhibition Street Investment Property

On 22 August 2014, Cromwell and the Trust sold the investment property located at 321 Exhibition Street, VIC for net proceeds of $205,920,000. $116,500,000 of the net proceeds was used to repay borrowings.

Cromwell Property Group (“Cromwell”) comprises Cromwell Corporation Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of the year or from time to time during the year and Cromwell Diversified Property Trust and the entities it controlled (“the Trust”) at the end of the year or from time to time during the year.

We have audited the accompanying financial reports of Cromwell and the Trust, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration for both Cromwell Corporation Limited and Cromwell Property Securities Limited as responsible entity for the Cromwell Diversified Property Trust.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of Cromwell Corporation Limited and Cromwell Property Securities Limited as responsible entity for the Cromwell Diversified Property Trust (collectively referred to as “the directors”) are responsible for the preparation of the financial reports that give a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial reports that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply 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. Those 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
