6. 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.

In accordance with Rule 13 of the Plan, the Plan was suspended for the quarters ended 30 September 2020, 31 December 2020, 31 March 2021 and 30 June 2021 respectively and relevant distributions were paid to securityholders in cash.

7. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

8. CHANGES ON CONTROL OVER GROUP ENTITIES

Refer to Note 18 of the 2021 annual financial report for details of entities over which control was gained or lost.

Directors’ Report

Financial performance

Statutory profit

Cromwell recorded a statutory profit of $308.2 million for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $177.6 million). The Trust recorded a statutory profit of $293.9 million for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $153.8 million).

Operating profit

Statutory profit 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 should be adjusted for in order to allow securityholders to gain a better understanding of Cromwell’s operating profit. Operating profit is considered by the Directors to reflect the underlying earnings of Cromwell. It is a key metric taken into account in determining distributions. Operating earnings is not a measure which is calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and has not been reviewed by Cromwell’s auditor. There has been no significant change to the methodology of the calculation of operating profit since Cromwell stapled in 2007 other than the inclusion of items, such as foreign currency, which are associated with the ongoing growth of the business.

Cromwell recorded an operating profit of $192.2 million for the year ended 30 June 2021 compared with $221.2 million for the previous year.

A reconciliation of operating profit, as assessed by the Directors, to statutory profit is as follows:

Australia

The tenant mix in Cromwell’s Australian property portfolio is weighted to Government and ASX-listed tenants which has proven resilient in the current economic conditions. As a consequence tenant rent collections from the Australian property portfolio have been relatively unimpacted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Only a small amount of rent has been waived ($0.6 million) or deferred ($9.6 million) during the year.

During the year Cromwell disposed of 13 Keltie Street, ACT for $20.0 million and Wakefield Street, SA for $30.0 million, a combined $6.0 million above the last valuations.

Weighted average lease expiry and occupancy remained steady due to positive leasing outcomes in several properties despite COVID-19related headwinds.

Valuations for the Australia portfolio increased by $78.3 million during the year (2020: $65.2 million), net of property improvements, leasing incentives and lease costs.

The weighted average capitalisation rate applicable to the Australian portfolio, a key indicator of investment real estate value, tightened during the year. This rate compression has been most prevalent in relation to properties located in Victoria, NSW and ACT, driven primarily by the high weighting towards government tenants in these regions. Resultant fair value increases followed this geographical trend with material fair value increases attributable to 700 Collins Street, VIC ($17.5 million), 203 Coward Street, NSW ($27.1 million), NSW and Soward Way, ACT ($18.8 million), among others.

Poland

The Cromwell Polish Retail Fund (CPRF) portfolio contains six catchment-dominating shopping centres, plus a 50% interest in a seventh (Ursynów – see further below), in Poland. The portfolio is currently warehoused and will form the seed portfolio for a fund to be offered to capital partners as soon as current economic conditions allow.

During the year, Poland was subject to multiple periods of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst non-discretionary retail, which constitutes a significant proportion of this portfolio, remained open, operating earnings has been negatively impacted by $12.0 million (€7.5 million) as a result. All known COVID-19-related tenant outcomes have been provided for.

Weighted average lease expiry and occupancy remained steady due to positive leasing outcomes in several properties despite COVID-19related headwinds.

All six of the properties were independently valued at 30 June 2021 resulting in a $7.0 million decrease in fair value (2020: $62.7 million), net of property improvements, leasing incentives and lease costs.

The weighted average capitalisation rates applicable to the Polish portfolio, a key indicator of investment real estate value, expanded marginally during the year. This rate expansion impacted across the portfolio and fair value decreases of $6.5 million have been recognised.

Italy

During the year Cromwell and the Trust completed the acquisition of seven logistics assets in Northern Italy for $83.1 million (€51.0 million). The properties are held in the Cromwell Italy Urban Logistics Fund (CIULF), The portfolio is currently warehoused and will form the seed portfolio for a fund to be offered to capital partners as soon as current economic conditions allow.

The portfolio is currently fully let to and occupied by one tenant, logistics giant DHL, whose own activities have remained robust through the period. Hence, this portfolio has not been negatively impacted by COVID-19.

All seven of the properties were independently valued at 30 June 2021 resulting in a $6.1 million increase in fair value, net of property improvements, leasing incentives and lease costs.

CEREIT

Cromwell continues to manage and sponsor CEREIT, a SGX-listed real estate investment trust. At 30 June 2021 CEREIT had 109 properties with a fair value of €2.3 billion (2020: 96 properties with a fair value of €2.2 billion) located across Europe. CEREIT’s property and tenant portfolios have been relatively unimpacted by COVID-19. Occupancy has remained stable at 94.6% (2020: 94.7%) and the COVID19 pandemic has had an imperceptible impact on tenant collections. External valuations as at 30 June 2021 were conducted for 67 properties representing approximately 80% of CEREIT’s portfolio by value resulting in net fair value gains of €43.4 million.

Directors’ Report

URSYNÒW

At year end Cromwell and the Trust own a 50.0% interest in CH Ursynów sp. z o.o., (Ursynów) (2020: 94.1%), an entity that owns a retail asset in Poland, the remaining equity is owned by Unibail-Rodamco Westfield B.V. (URW). The investment property that underpins the joint venture was independently valued at 30 June 2021 at €104.0 million (2020: €106.5 million) with the decrease related to stalled leasing outcomes due to COVID-19.

In January 2020 URW exercised an option to acquire all the equity it did not already own in the joint venture from Cromwell and the Trust. The investment was therefore classified as held for sale at 30 June 2020. Subsequently, URW expressed its desire to continue with the joint venture on revised terms. Cromwell has now agreed terms with URW in respect of continuing the joint venture, which included an equalisation of the equity injected into the company. Accordingly, the investment has been transferred from non-current assets held for sale to equity accounted investments and the share of profit will be split 50% to each joint venture partner going forward.

Cromwell holds a 50% interest in the LDK Healthcare Unit Trust (LDK), a joint venture conducting a Seniors living business. LDK operates one of Sydney’s premium Seniors villages, The Landings at Turramurra (The Landings) which continues to operate profitably.

In 2018 Cromwell and LDK commenced a project to repurpose the Cromwell-owned property Tuggeranong Office Park in the ACT into a Seniors living village. The first stage of the project is complete and since opening in May 2020 141 of the 210 (67%) completed suites have been sold, of which 125 (60%) have settled. Construction of the second stage is well advanced.

Cromwell recognised a share of statutory profit of $14.7 million for the year (2020: $6.7 million), of which $3.2 million was considered to be operating in nature (2020: $nil).

CO-INVESTMENTS

Cromwell currently has co-investments in European real estate investment mandates which are accounted for as investments at fair value through profit or loss. Cromwell receives distributions from its co-investments which also support the fund management business. Cromwell may also, from time to time, warehouse assets to use as seed portfolios for new funds or mandates. During the year the balance of co-investments held by Cromwell decreased primarily due to disposals.

Directors’ Report

Retail fund management profit increased from $5.4 million in the prior comparative period to $18.3 million for the year ended 30 June 2021. This is primarily due to Cromwell receiving $9.7 million in performance fees during the year in respect of the performance and extension of Cromwell Property Trust 12.

Direct property funds were unimpacted by COVID-19 and the Cromwell Direct Property Fund successfully completed its first liquidity event in July 2020.

The Cromwell Phoenix Property Securities Fund and Cromwell Phoenix Opportunities Fund recovered positively from the market turmoil as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and outperformed relevant benchmarks.

During the year the Australian retail fund management business acquired real estate assets worth $117.5 million and divested $29.0 million. Total assets under management at year end was $1.4 billion.

Cromwell remains committed to investing in increasing the scale and diversification of its fund retail management business, which it believes is highly complementary to its property and facilities management activities.

The European fund management business continues to execute the strategy of securing longer-term and more secure revenue sources. The business generated an operating profit of $7.8 million (2020: $29.2 million) for the year, reflective of the downturn in transactional

Directors’ Report

activity due to COVID-19, the expiry of mandates ($7.7 million in performance fees were earned during the current year compared with $36.7 million in 2020) and restructuring activities within the business.

At 30 June 2021 the European fund management business had €3.7 billion ($5.8 billion) assets under management (2020: €3.5 billion ($5.8 billion)). The business continues to broaden its focus from Private Equity funds and mandates towards longer term, more secure revenue sources. Following further acquisitions by CEREIT and the transfer of CPRF and CIULF assets into the Trust for future fund creation, the European business now has 80% (2020: 78%) of its assets under management (AUM) in long-term mandates.

Joint ventures

LDK

During the year Cromwell and the Trust recorded $8.3 million finance income for the year in respect of development-related loans made to LDK. The loans have been utilised by LDK to construct the village at Greenway and acquire the Landings retirement village. This revenue stream is forecast to rise due to the restructuring of the development finance arrangements provided to the LDK joint venture to fund its growth strategies.

Phoenix – Australia

Cromwell Phoenix Opportunities Fund performed extremely well during the period and exceeded its own benchmark for the year.

Cromwell recognised a share of operating profit of $1.0 million for the year (2020: $0.4 million).

Oyster – New Zealand

Oyster Property Group’s assets under management increased slightly to NZD$2.1 billion at year end (2020: NZD$2.0 billion).

Cromwell recognised a share of operating profit of $3.7 million for the year (2020: $2.5 million).

Finance costs

Interest expense in relation to borrowings for the year increased slightly to $59.9 million (2020: $58.3 million). The increase in interest expense is in line with increased borrowings used to acquire the investment property portfolio in Italy. The average interest rate for the current year decreased to 2.33% compared with 2.58% for the prior comparative period.

The net fair value gain in relation to derivative financial instruments of $14.2 million (2020: $18.4 million) primarily arose as a result of the revaluation of interest rate swap and cap contracts, which resulted in the recognition of net gains of $14.6 million for the year (2020: loss of $5.3 million). Cromwell has hedged future interest rates through various types of interest rate derivatives (predominately interest rate caps) with 82% of its borrowings at year end hedged or fixed to minimise the risk of changes in interest rates in the future (2020: 66%). All hedging contracts expire between July 2021 and April 2025.

Capital management

Cromwell’s debt platform is underpinned by a facility secured against selected assets within the Australian property portfolio and has considerable headroom against its covenants. The loan to value ratio covenant is set at 60% versus the actual ratio which stands at 37% at balance date, resulting in headroom under the covenant of $1.0 billion. The WALE covenant is set at 3.0 years versus the actual WALE of 6.3 years for the selected assets and interest cover ratio is 2.0 times versus the actual interest cover of 6.1 times. Given the headroom Cromwell enjoys against all its covenants it has determined that holding the CPRF assets on its balance sheet until property and market valuations stabilise will realise the best outcome for securityholders.

Debt

Net debt (excluding operating lease liabilities) increased by $45.3 million due to total borrowings increasing by $6.5 million whilst cash and cash equivalents decreased by $51.8 million, primarily driven by the acquisition of the Italian investment property portfolio being funded from cash on hand and proceeds from additional borrowings). Gearing remained steady at 42% during the year. Notwithstanding the current low interest rate environment, this places Cromwell’s gearing outside its target range of between 30% - 40% through the cycle range. It is expected that Cromwell’s gearing will remain around this range depending upon investment deployment.

Cromwell’s main loan facility (bilateral loan facility) is secured against selected Core and Core+ investment properties in the Australian portfolio. This facility’s performance against loan covenants at balance date reinforces the ability of Cromwell to carry higher gearing levels without impacting the ongoing operations of the business.

Cromwell’s Euro / GBP revolving credit facility has a look-through gearing covenant of 65.0% versus balance date actual look-through gearing of 46.2%.

All other loan facilities are asset level financing with no reference to group level gearing.

Liquidity

As at 30 June 2021 Cromwell had $142.3 million of cash (2020: $194.1 million) and undrawn bank facilities totalling $534.9 million (2020: $472.9 million).

Equity

An additional 4.6 million stapled securities were issued during the year at an average issue price of $0.30, composed entirely of securities issued following the exercise of performance rights.

Net tangible assets (NTA) per security has increased during the year from $0.99 to $1.02, primarily as a result of an overall increase in property valuations attributable to the direct investment property portfolio and properties held in equity accounted investment valuations.

Strategy

Following the completion of the Board renewal process, the Board has been reviewing Cromwell’s ongoing strategy and business model. The principal focus of the Board is to seek to simplify the Group structure and improve capital efficiency to unlock value for securityholders and accelerate growth in our fund management and development businesses. This can be achieved via:

  • Growing and strengthening our retail fund management platform;

  • Continuing to deliver innovative fund products to investors in sectors that meet current market demands;

  • Providing greater access for potential capital partners to our well credentialed development business to provide a pipeline of asset opportunities for our fund management business and Cromwell itself

  • Maintaining an appropriate capital structure capable of delivering on our identified pipeline of development opportunities;

  • Streamlining operations to drive efficiencies and allow Cromwell to focus on its core strengths; and

  • Asset recycling to create fund management opportunities to generate annuity style management fee income.

Outlook

Cromwell expects the economic and social impacts of COVID-19 to continue to cause uncertainty and dislocation in all the markets in which it operates in during 2022. However, the progressive roll out of the COVID-19 vaccination programs in the markets that Cromwell operates in provides confidence that the pandemic impacts may become more manageable and we are hopeful that calendar year 2022 will bring increased stabilisation of business conditions.

While real estate transactions in Europe have been subdued over the last 12 months, Cromwell continues to enjoy strong support from its capital partners in Europe and retail investor base in Australia. The extension of both the Cromwell Direct Property Fund and Cromwell Property Trust 12 show the benefits of Cromwell’s disciplined approach to asset selection for retail investors. The Cromwell European REIT has continued to benefit from the breadth and depth of our European platform which can source off market real estate deals in a dislocated market. The initial response from investors for our recently announced Wooden Building Fund in Europe has been extremely encouraging and we anticipate this fund to reach a First close within the first 6 months of 2022. The new Cromwell European Logistics Fund, seeded by seven Italian logistics assets leased to DHL, will be launched in the first quarter of 2022. These demonstrate the value of Cromwell’s vertically integrated property and asset management capabilities in both Europe and Australia which allows us to better understand the financial challenges of our tenants and provide more tailored solutions.

The Cromwell Polish Retail Fund assets have proved resilient due to their high weighting to essential shopping and services. While these assets will likely remain on balance sheet for the immediate future, we will look to commence marketing this Fund to external investors once there has been consistent, uninterrupted trading at all the assets in the Fund and an expectation that further lockdowns will not be initiated by the Polish Government.

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 10 of 112

Directors’ Report

While gearing still remains above Cromwell’s target range at 42 % (target range of 30% to 40%) Cromwell has a strong balance sheet with sufficient liquidity and ample loan covenant headroom to maintain operations well into the future and to continue to invest into our direct and indirect portfolio and our fund management platform.

Distributions

Given the ongoing uncertainty, suppressed transactional activity in Europe and current market conditions Cromwell will continue to pay distributions at the current quarterly rate of 1.625cps until further notice. Any further alteration in the current economic conditions of Cromwell and our tenants, the continuing changing landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effectiveness of vaccines and responses by various governments may impact on the final level of distributions for FY22.

Risks

Cromwell actively identifies and manages the risks that may impact its operations, strategy and outlook, and considers megatrends and external insights to respond to emerging areas of risk. The Board is ultimately accountable for corporate governance and risk management. To assist it, the Board has separate committees to review and assess key risks and ensure they are managed appropriately. The Investment Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing all major transactions including investment in and divestment of assets. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing the effectiveness of Cromwell’s risk management framework in responding to the various exposures to risk Cromwell has in the course of its business.

Cromwell has an enterprise-wide risk management framework which provides a comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing and treating risk within the context of Cromwell’s business environment and based on the Board’s risk appetite. The framework includes policies and processes and recognises that everyone at Cromwell has a role to play in effectively managing risk. Risks are identified and assessed in a timely and consistent manner with regular reporting back to the Board from management via the Audit and Risk Committee.

Cromwell’s key risks and the core controls and mitigants to assist in managing them are described below:

Climate-related financial disclosure

Cromwell is a supporter of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendations and recognises the potential risks and opportunities arising from climate change and a transition to a low-carbon economy.

The TCFD recommendations are voluntary in nature and were introduced to support a consistent reporting approach to enable financiers, investors, insurers and other stakeholders to understand an organisation’s material climate related risks, and the financial implications and approach being undertaken to manage them.

Cromwell’s climate-related disclosures provide a position statement on each of the four core elements and 11 disclosures that comprise the TCFD recommendations. In addition, Cromwell also, completes detailed annual submissions on climate strategy as part of both GRESB and CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) requirements. Further details on the TCFD disclosures, Cromwell’s annual CDP submission and relevant statements covering the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulations are available on Cromwell’s website at www.cromwellpropertygroup.com/sustainability

The TCFD structured the disclosure recommendations around four thematic areas that represent core elements of an organisation’s operations. These recommended elements and Cromwell’s response is described below:

Cromwell operates its business in a complex social, economic and physical environment,
managing assets of differing types and quality and in differing geographies. Our objective
is to provide stable, secure and growing distributions to investors, with the potential for
capital growth.
As an investor and asset manager, Cromwell considers that the greatest material risks
posed from climate change are likely to be from:
 Physical risks from severe weather events directly impacting and damaging the
assets we own and manage,
 The indirect impacts such as increasing operational costs from rising insurance
premiums, energy costs, carbon charges and taxes, legislation and operational costs
resulting from increased temperature extremities and wear and tear to operating plant
and equipment,
 The potential climate change impacts on the security of our tenants’ business
operations, on our supply chains and impacts on the infrastructure supporting the
communities where our property assets are located,
 Forming effective and economic strategies to respond to the demand to transition to a
low carbon economy to achieve net zero emissions. Developing strategies that
ensure our property assets remain resilient to climate change whilst setting pathways
to improve performance and respond to market demand presents a significant
opportunity for Cromwell to underpin the long-term value of the property assets we
own and manage.
Our climate adaption strategy is to ensure that we understand and respond to the
impacts from climate change in the short, medium and long term. Cromwell considers
climate risks and impacts over the following time frames:
 Short term = 1 to 3 years
 Medium term = 4 to 7 years (leading to 2030)
 Long term = 8 to 15 years (up to and post 2030, leading to 2040)
This information is then used to plan effective responses and determine risk mitigation
strategies where appropriate.

Each year our annual Sustainability Report sets out the boundaries for reporting and
provides a breakdown between the properties for which Cromwell has ownership and

Cromwell has set targets to respond to the transition to net zero emissions. In FY20
Cromwell obtained net zero certification from Climate Active for its Australian corporate
operations. This was rating was maintained in FY21.
Cromwell recognises that the greatest impact from reducing emissions is within its
property assets. For the Australian assets where Cromwell has operational control,
energy consumption and emissions intensity has been tracked for ten years.
Our annual Sustainability Report provides access to data tables that provide further
information on Cromwell’s corporate emissions, energy and performance certification for
our property portfolios and the actions we are implementing to achieve our long-term

Directors’ Report

Remuneration Report

A message from the Chair, Nomination and Remuneration Committee

Dear Securityholder

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report which focuses on our remuneration strategy and outcomes for the financial year ending 30 June 2021.

Year in Review and Remuneration Outcomes

FY21 was dominated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cromwell’s people, processes and systems were truly tested with Business Continuity Plans activated in every country of operation with the majority of Cromwell’s people spending a substantial amount of the year working from home. Throughout these events and even as the impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt it is pleasing to see that our people have continued to stay focused on our securityholders, tenant-customers, business operations and also in supporting their colleagues.

During the year a substantial amount of time and effort was spent dealing with government legislation introduced in every country of operation designed to support tenants impacted by the pandemic. Tens of thousands of hours were spent understanding, negotiating and applying the legislation to Cromwell’s tenant-customers across 14 different countries.

It comes as no surprise to know that despite the hard work of our people there was no escaping the impact of COVID-19 and the general ensuing reduction in market activity impacted transactions and performance fees. This flowed through to Operating Earnings.

The FY21 KMP Short-Term Incentive (STI) Plan had a behavioural and financial gateway and the financial gateway of 95% of budgeted Operating Earnings was not met, therefore no STI’s were paid to the KMP for performance during FY21.

The KMP Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Plan has three equally weighted hurdles applicable to FY21; Total Return (TR), Return on Contributed Equity (ROCE) and Total Securityholder Return (TSR). The ROCE portion will vest at 42% in FY21, the TR hurdle was not met in FY21 and therefore will vest at 0% and the TSR hurdle will not be tested until the completion of the three-year vesting period.

Long-Term Incentives granted to the Acting CEO, Acting CFO and CIO (the Executive KMP) under the historical Performance Rights Plan, for performance in the financial year ending 2017 vested in full as all performance hurdles were met.

Board and Executive Management Changes

During the year, Cromwell’s largest securityholder, ARA Asset Management called an Extra-ordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 18 September 2020 to seek representation on the Board. Two nominated directors, Mr Joseph Gersh, AM and Dr Gary Weiss, AM were elected to the Cromwell Board.

Subsequently a number of directors were not re-elected at the November 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) at which Cromwell Corporation Limited also received a second strike on its Remuneration Report. Securityholders voted in favour of the Spill Resolution, which triggered a ‘Spill Meeting’ within 90 days and the remaining directors (other than the Managing Director) who had approved the Remuneration Report ceasing to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting and seeking re-election.

This was followed by the retirement of long-standing Cromwell CEO Paul Weightman in December 2020 with COO Jodie Clark also subsequently leaving in March 2021. In January 2021, Cromwell CFO Michael Wilde was appointed Acting CEO and Brett Hinton was appointed Acting CFO.

February 2021 also saw three non-executive directors, including myself, successfully stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Mr Rob Blain and Mr Eng Peng Ooi joined the Board in March 2021 with Dr Weiss elected Chair on 17 March 2021. There has been increased engagement with our substantial securityholders including through the recent appointment of Ms Jialei Tang as a non-independent Nonexecutive Director on 9 July 2021. After an executive search conducted by independent advisor Egon Zehnder, Jonathan Callaghan was appointed Cromwell’s new permanent CEO later in that month, with a commencement date of 5 October 2021.

The Board has welcomed five new directors over the course of the last 12 months, adding substantial commercial, real estate and capital markets skills and experience. The Board refresh is now complete. The executive team, who have steered the business through the last few months, will now be joined by a highly regarded incoming CEO and we believe these changes have substantially repositioned Cromwell for a very bright future.

Temporary Enhanced Redundancy Policy

In March 2020, to address job security concerns, the Board encouraged management to review and extend notice periods of key employees and in April 2020 the Board approved implementation of enhanced redundancy arrangements for all employees. The enhanced redundancy provisions are timebound and expire on 31 December 2021.

Diminishing Deferred Payment Scheme

The temporary Enhanced Redundancy Policy addressed job security and retention concerns for longer tenured employees but did not address the risk of key employee loss for those with fewer years of service and/or relatively low value of unvested equity on foot. In August 2020, the Board considered alternatives to encourage key employees to remain with Cromwell through the most critical periods of uncertainty, while minimising costs, in the event that positions were not made redundant. Consequently, Cromwell introduced a one-off Diminishing Deferred Payment (DDP) scheme for a limited number of employees deemed critical for the ongoing operations of the business.

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 24 of 112

Directors’ Report

The DDP scheme entitles participants to receive a one-off payment on 31 December 2021, subject to continued employment, with the payment reduced by any actual incentive payments received in cash or securities from 1 October 2020. The only executive KMP included in the arrangement is the Chief Investment Officer and the Acting Chief Financial Officer.

Changes to Remuneration Policy

Given the response of securityholders to the previous Remuneration Report Cromwell undertook an exercise to review the appropriateness of its stated Peer Group. It was felt the Peer Group did not accurately reflect the composition and complexity of the business. As a result, the Fixed Remuneration of the incoming CEO was determined on the basis of this new Peer Group leading to a Fixed Remuneration of $1.0 million, a 35% reduction on that of the previous permanent CEO.

Approach to FY22 Remuneration

There will be no increase to the Fixed Remuneration of the Executive KMP.

The KMP STI Plan will remain unchanged with KMP’s eligible to earn between 50% and 100% of their Fixed Remuneration, once they have passed through both the behavioural and financial gateways, with 50% of any payments deferred into stapled securities and held in a holding lock for 12 months. The incoming CEO will participate in the KMP STI Plan but will have an additional 20% of his STI paid as stapled securities for an initial two-year period.

The KMP LTI Plan will also remain unchanged with KMP’s eligible to be awarded Cromwell stapled securities of earn between 50% and 100% of their Fixed Remuneration, subject to the achievement of financial performance hurdles over a three-year period.

Non-Executive Director Fees

No changes were made to the remuneration policy for Non-executive Directors in FY21. The total fee pool approved by securityholders in 2011 stands at $1 million and this has not been reviewed since 2017.

Following the new director appointments and completion of the Board renewal process, the Board initiated an external independent review of Non-executive Director fees. The review found that base Board and Committee fees were below market, and that headroom compared to the current pool was less than 2%, which impacts the Board’s ability to appoint a new director if required.

Having regard to the findings of this external independent review, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee recommended to the Board an increase in Non-executive Director fees and the corresponding fee pool cap to bring fees in line with market benchmarks. The new fee pool will be considered by securityholders at the AGM in November.

We hope you find this Remuneration Report transparent and informative. The Board and Nomination and Remuneration Committee remain committed to ensuring management are rewarded for the right behaviours and outcomes and their remuneration is aligned to market expectations and the long-term interests of securityholders.

Your sincerely,

==> picture [36 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

Performance Measures All KMP STI’s are subject to the following gateways:
1.
Achieving 95% of earnings guidance or Board approved budgeted earnings where no
guidance is provided; and
2.
Scoring a minimum of Meeting Expectations against Cromwell’s values-based Behavioural
Competencies.
If either of the gateways are not met, no STI is payable.
Individual STI outcomes are determined on the basis of group performance against a mix of financial
and non-financial measures. More information can be found on the KMP STI Performance Measures
in the STI Scorecard.
Financial Measures Non-financial Measures
Current KMP
Acting CEO 80% 20%

Acting CFO 80% 20%

Reason for performance
measures
The Board considers that a mix of financial and non-financial measures are appropriate and that they
are aligned with Cromwell’s strategy and values. Performance measures are reviewed annually, and
the Board has discretion to review and amend the measures during the performance period where
significant unforeseen events have occurred which are outside the control of management, or where
formulaic application is likely to produce a material and perverse outcome.
.
Calculation of awards Value of awards are calculated as follows:
Fixed RemunerationxTarget STI opportunity %xAchievement Score against Performance Measures
Delivery of awards 50% of the STI awarded is delivered in cash and 50% is delivered in securities and deferred for a
further 12 months.*** All securities are purchased on market.
In the event the recipient ceases to be employed:

before the award date, the recipient is ineligible to receive an award

after the STI is awarded, securities in holding lock remain in holding lock until the release date
provided the employee is deemed to be a good leaver
Clawback Malus and Clawback clauses allow deferred securities to be clawed back where a recipient has acted
fraudulently, dishonestly or where there has been a material misstatement or omission in Cromwell’s
financial statements leading to receipt of an unfair benefit. This may also occur where an executive
KMP fails to meet cultural related expectations including acting ethically and responsibly.
Change of Control In the event of a change of control, any STI award deferred in securities will be released.
  • The CIO and Acting CFO are eligible for a Diminishing Deferred Payment of up to 70% and 80%, respectively, of their Base salary, less any incentive

payments received between October 2020 and December 2021, if they remain employed as at 31 December 2021. This payment will be delivered in cash.

**The Acting CFO remained on his previous Executive STI Scheme for the duration of FY21.

  • *** The Former CEO’s STI was delivered in cash.

Performance Measures For each measure, 25% vests at the lower bound with straight line vesting to 100% at the maximum
threshold.
33.33% Total Return
Total Return = (Distributions + Change in NTA)/Opening NTA.
Performance is tested annually, and the addition of each year’s outcome is awarded at the
end of 3 years. The TR hurdle range is 8.5%-11.5%. Equity Issues that significantly impact
NTA will be considered, as well as significant write downs in intangible assets.
33.33% Return on Contributed Equity (ROCE)
ROCE = Operating Profit/Weighted Average Contributed Equity.
Performance is tested annually, and the addition of each year’s outcome is awarded at the
end of 3 years. The ROCE hurdle range is 8.5%-11.5%.
33.33% Relative TSR
Measured against the S&P/ASX300 A-REIT Accumulation Index on a percentile basis with
50th percentile lower bound and 75th percentile upper bound. Measured once over the
measurement period.
Below Median - 0% vesting
Reason for performance
measures
Total Return aligns the underlying absolute returns that securityholder’s experience.
ROCE best reflects the sustainable returns achieved on securityholders’ contributed equity and is accepted
as a good measure of the performance of management. Over the medium to long term an improving ROCE
has been shown to correlate with upward stapled security price movements and hence returns experienced
by securityholders.
Calculation of awards The number of performance rights granted is calculated under the Face Value Methodology, based on
the VWAP of Cromwell’s security price for the 10 days immediately succeeding the annual results
announcement.
Delivery of awards At the end of the 3 year performance period, 100% of the award vests, with 50% released and 50%
deferred in holding lock for a further 12 months. All securities are purchased on market.
In the event the recipient ceases to be employed:

before the vesting date, all rights to securities are forfeit

after the vesting date, securities in holding lock remain in holding lock until the release date
provided the employee is deemed to be a good leaver
Clawback Malus and Clawback clauses allow unvested and deferred securities to be clawed back where a recipient
has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or where there has been a material misstatement or omission in
Cromwell’s financial statements leading to receipt of an unfair benefit. This may also occur where an
executive KMP fails to meet cultural related expectations including acting ethically and responsibly.
Change of Control In the case of a change of control, performance rights will be tested and will pro rata vest in line with
achievement against performance measures.
  • The Acting CFO has remained on his previous Executive LTI Scheme for the duration of FY21. The Executive LTI Scheme entitles the incumbent to Performance Rights, vesting over three years, up to the value of 25% of his Base Salary, allocated using fair value at grant date. Performance measures are continued employment and a minimum score of Solid Performance against KPIs each year.

Total Securityholder Returns (Annualised)

Cromwell’s Total Securityholder Return (TSR) over the last 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 years relative to benchmark indices is shown below.

==> picture [498 x 113] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [498 x 113] intentionally omitted <==

As at 30 June 2020, the prior year balance date, Cromwell had outperformed the Property Index across all periods. The impact of a very subdued stapled security price, largely due to the ongoing uncertainty of COVID-19 on Cromwell’s European operations and the ongoing level of corporate activity, has significantly impacted the annualised performance of Cromwell in 2021. This has had a flow on impact to all other return periods. Over the course of any short-term period, the total securityholder return of Cromwell will vary against the index. Over the medium term, the overall performance of Cromwell should be demonstrated in sustained operating earnings and growth in total securityholder returns. The LTI hurdles implemented for all KMP will reward the achievement of medium-term returns.

4.1 Board remuneration structure

The Board determines remuneration of Non-executive Directors within the maximum amount approved by security holders from time to time.

4.2 Total remuneration for Non-executive Directors

Non-executive Directors are paid a Fixed Remuneration, comprising base and committee fees or salary and superannuation (as applicable). Nonexecutive Directors do not receive bonus payments or participate in stapled security-based compensation plans and are not provided with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation.

Fee review

As the Directors’ fee cap was last approved by securityholders in 2011 and Directors’ fees have not been reviewed since 2017, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee commissioned a review of Board and Committee fees. The resulting report identified that:

  • the base board fee plus committee fees paid to the board chair were below the peer group median

  • the base board fee paid to NEDs is below the peer group median

  • the audit and risk committee chair and member fees are below the peer group median

  • the nomination and remuneration committee chair and member fees are below the peer group median

  • with the appointment of a seventh director, policy fee headroom is 2%

The report assessed, and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee supported, an increase in Board and Committee fees and an increase in the fee pool, conditional upon receiving securityholder support for the fee pool increase at the company’s AGM to be held in November 2021.

4.3 Non-executive Directors’ security holding requirement

Non-executive Directors are required to have a minimum holding of Cromwell Property Group stapled securities equivalent to the Non-executive Director annual fee within three years of their start date. Non-executive Directors are bound by Cromwell’s Securities Trading Policy, which is available on Cromwell’s website. No additional remuneration is provided to Non-executive Directors to purchase these stapled securities.

5. Additional Disclosures

5.1 At risk cash awards and performance rights vesting and forfeiture in 2021

For each at risk cash award and grant of performance rights options (equity-based compensation) included in the tables above, the percentage of the available at-risk cash bonus paid, or equity-based compensation that vested, during the year and the percentage that was forfeited because the person did not meet the service and performance criteria is set out below.

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.

Directors’ Report

Auditor

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu continues in office in accordance with section 327B of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

The Company may decide to employ Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu on assignments additional to their statutory duties where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company and/or the Cromwell are important.

The Directors have considered the position and, in accordance with advice received from the Audit & Risk Committee, are satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor, as set out below, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) as none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor.

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor and its related parties for non-audit services provided to Cromwell are set out below:

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

ABOUT THIS REPORT

This section provides an overview of the basis upon which the financial statements of Cromwell and the Trust have been prepared. Accounting policies relating to balances and transactions for which specific note disclosure is presented in this financial report are contained in the relevant note. Accounting policies for other balances and transaction are also contained in this section.

1. Basis of preparation

Shares of Cromwell Corporation Limited ("Company") and units of Cromwell Diversified Property Trust ("CDPT") are stapled to one another forming the Cromwell Property Group and are quoted as a single stapled security on the ASX under the code CMW. 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.

As permitted by ASIC Corporations (Stapled Group Reports) Instrument 2015/838 the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Cromwell Property Group ("Cromwell"), consisting of the Company and its controlled entities and CDPT and its controlled entities are presented jointly with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the CDPT and its controlled entities ("Trust"). In the consolidated financial statements of Cromwell equity attributable to the Trust is presented as a non-controlling interest.

Cromwell and the Trust are for-profit entities for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

This financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. Cromwell’s and Trust’s current assets exceed current liabilities by $75.5 million and $15.7 million respectively at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: $161.4 million and $82.0 million). In addition, at 30 June 2021, Cromwell and the Trust had available a total of $534.9 million of undrawn but committed bank debt facilities (2020: $472.9 million) and $142.3 million and $83.7 million of cash (2020: $194.1 million and $117.8 million).

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of Cromwell and the Trust are general purpose financial statements which have 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 (Cth).

The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

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;

  • investments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; and,

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

Rounding of amounts

In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest one hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Presentational changes and comparatives

In order to improve the readability of this financial report, direct readers focus towards materially important information, the format and the presentation of some disclosure items has been altered. This has included:

  • the use of plain English to describe items including business activities, accounting policies;

  • a reordering of notes that better informs readers about the structure of the business and how its components interact;

  • the Profit & loss statement and Statement of other comprehensive income have been reformatted and condensed into one Statement of comprehensive income, including certain reclassifications of expense categories;

  • cash flows relating to interest on lease liabilities have been reclassified from cash flows from operating activities to financing activities;

  • improvements to the way in which amounts attributable to equity holders of the Company, CDPT and Cromwell is presented; and

  • the removal of immaterial disclosure items and related policy information.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

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

a) Impacts of COVID-19 upon financial statement preparation

COVID-19, a respiratory illness, was declared a world-wide pandemic by the World Health Organisation in March 2020. Immediately following the global outbreak of COVID-19, Cromwell enacted its Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”). This, coupled with Cromwell’s prior investment in systems, processes and people has ensured there has been no material interruption to the operation of any of Cromwell’s business segments due to COVID-19.

However, COVID-19 itself, as well as measures to slow the spread of the virus, have had a significant impact on global economies and equity, debt and other financial markets. Cromwell has considered the impact of COVID-19 and other market volatility in preparing these financial statements. Whilst the specific areas of judgement noted previously did not change materially, the impact of COVID-19 has resulted in the wider application of judgement within those identified areas. Given the dynamic and evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes to the estimates and outcomes that have been applied in the measurement of Cromwell’s assets and liabilities may arise in the future.

Key items and related disclosures that have been impacted by COVID-19 were as follows:

  • Rental income and recoverable outgoings – management engaged with all tenants in Australia, Poland and Italy in order to achieve the best possible commercial outcomes for all parties. This process resulted in tenants being provided with appropriate rent relief in the form of rental waivers ($0.6 million) and deferred payment plans (resulting in the deferred collection of $9.6 million for periods ranging from 3 months to 24 months), coupled with lease extensions (amortisation cost $1.1 million to 30 June 2021). Whilst Italy was unimpacted, earnings were negatively impacted by $12.0 million (€7.5 million) as a result of the various lockdowns in Poland. For further information refer to note 5.

  • Investment properties – management reviewed the appropriateness of inputs into investment property valuations, taking into account the impacts of COVID-19. At balance date the adopted valuations for 25 of Cromwell’s investment properties are based on independent external valuations representing 92% of the value of the portfolio. Disclosures with respect to Cromwell’s investment properties are provided in note 8.

  • Interest in associates and joint ventures and investments in subsidiaries – Cromwell’s investments in associates and joint ventures were assessed for indicators of impairment. No investments were found to be impaired. Disclosures with respect to Cromwell’s equity accounted interests is provided in note 9.

  • Receivable, loan assets, and amounts due from subsidiaries – in response to COVID-19 management has undertaken a review of its relevant tenant receivable and loan asset portfolios, loans to subsidiaries and other financial asset exposures. This process involved a thorough examination of all receivable balances to assess the extent of expected credit losses that should be recognised. Relevant risk management disclosures are included in note 14.

b) Basis 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.

The Trust’s contributed equity and retained earnings/accumulated losses are shown as a non-controlling interest. 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 at year end 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. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Statement of comprehensive income and the Balance sheet respectively.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the Company and CDPT. A list of subsidiaries is included in the notes.

c) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of Cromwell’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s and the Trust’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except when they are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income on a net basis. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

Foreign operations

Subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates that have functional currencies different from the presentation currency translate their Statement of comprehensive income items using the average exchange rate for the year. Assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates prevailing at balance date. Exchange variations resulting from the retranslation at closing rate of the net investment in foreign operations, together with their differences between their Statement of profit or loss items translated at average rates and closing rates, are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

For the purpose of foreign currency translation, the net investment in a foreign operation is determined inclusive of foreign currency intercompany balances. The balance of the foreign currency translation reserve relating to a foreign operation that is disposed of, or partially disposed of, is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income at the time of disposal.

The following material spot and average rates were used:

d) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur, Cromwell assesses whether there is any indication that any relevant 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 have been previously impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

e) Inventories

Inventories relate to land and property developments that are held for sale in the normal course of business. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 53 of 112

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

f) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment relate to equipment used in the day-to-day operations of Cromwell as well as right-to-use assets for property, plant and equipment held under operating leases.

Owned property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Owned property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period of the useful life of the asset.

Right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before commencement, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured as cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments losses. For further information in relation to leased assets see note 20.

g) 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. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis.

The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.

h) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

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. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical or professional experience and other factors such as expectations about future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

The areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity and may need material adjustment if estimates and assumptions made in preparation of these financial statements are incorrect are:

Area of estimation Note
Revenue 5
Fair value of investmentproperty 8
Equityaccounted investments 9
Fair value of financial instruments 14
Intangible assets 21

i) New accounting standards and interpretations adopted by Cromwell and the Trust

Cromwell and the Trust have adopted all applicable new Australian accounting standards and interpretations. There are no new relevant accounting standards and interpretations that have been adopted in the current financial year. In the prior year Cromwell and the Trust adopted AASB 16 Leases and Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments , both of which were applicable to Cromwell and the Trust from the financial year commencing 1 July 2019.

There are currently no relevant accounting standards and interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted Cromwell or the Trust.

j) Change to accounting policy - SaaS

During the year, the Accounting Policy with respect of Intangible assets was changed, specifically in relation to the configuration and customisation costs incurred in implementing Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) arrangements. Key disclosures, including the impact of the accounting policy change, critical accounting estimates and judgements and the impact of the change to comparative and retrospective financial information is disclosed in note 20.

RESULTS

This section of the annual financial report provides further information on Cromwell’s and the Trust’s financial performance, including the performance of each of Cromwell’s three segments, the earnings per security calculation, details of distributions as well as information about Cromwell’s revenue, expense and income tax items.

2. Operating segment information

a) Overview

Operating segments are distinct business activities from which Cromwell may earn revenues and incur expenses. Cromwell reports the results of its operating segments on a regular basis to its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the group's chief operating decision maker (CODM), in order to assess the performance of each of Cromwell's operating segments and allocate resources to them.

Operating segments below are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CEO. These have been updated to reflect changes in Cromwell’s business model and related internal reporting.

Operating
segments:
Business activity:
Direct property
investment
This involves the ownership of investment properties located in Australia, Poland and Italy. These properties, which
may be held for long term investment purposes or warehoused whilst being repositioned for deployment into the fund
and asset management business, primarily contribute net rental income and associated cash flows to results.
Indirect property
investment
This activity encompasses Cromwell’s investments in assets it may not fully own or over which it cannot exercise
unilateral control. This includes investments in the Cromwell European Real Estate Investment Trust (CEREIT), the
Ursynów joint venture, the LDK Seniors living joint venture and other investment vehicles. This activity contributes
the relevant share of profit of each investee to consolidated results.
Fund and asset
management
Fund management represents activities in relation to the establishment and management of external funds for
institutional and retail investors. Asset management includes property and facility management, leasing and project
management and development related activities These activities are carried out by Cromwell itself and by associates
and contributes related fee revenues or the relevant share of profit of each investee to consolidated results.

b) Segment results

The table below shows segment results as presented to the CEO in his capacity as CODM. For further commentary on individual segment results refer to the Directors’ Report:

g) Accounting policy

Segment allocation

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. 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.

Property expenses and outgoings which include rates, taxes and other property outgoings and other expenses are recognised on an accruals basis.

EBITDA

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) is a measure of financial performance and is used as an alternative to operating profit or statutory profit.

Segment profit

Segment profit, internally referred to as operating profit, is based on income and expenses excluding adjustments for unrealised fair value adjustments and write downs, gains or losses on all sale of investment properties and certain other non-cash income and expense items.

3. Earnings per security

a) Overview

Earnings per security (EPS) is a measure that makes it easier for users of Cromwell’s financial report to compare Cromwell’s performance between different reporting periods. Accounting standards require the disclosure of basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS information provides a measure of interests of each ordinary issued security of the parent entity in the performance of the entity over the reporting period. Diluted EPS information provides the same information but takes into account the effect of all dilutive potential ordinary securities outstanding during the period, such as Cromwell’s performance rights.

b) Earnings per stapled security / trust unit

(1) These items have been updated to reflect the impact of the change to Accounting policy in relation to SaaS - refer to Note 21 for further information.

c) Earnings per Company share

Under Australian accounting standards, the issued units of the Trust are presented as non-controlling interests. As a result, disclosed below is the basic and diluted profit per Company share based on the Company's profit for the year excluding the profit attributable to Trust unitholders.

The profit used to calculate basic and diluted profit per share was $14.3 million (2020: $25.6 million). The weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted profit per share was equal to the number of stapled securities disclosed in (b) above.

d) Information in relation to the classification of securities

Performance rights

Performance rights granted under Cromwell’s Performance Rights Plan are considered to be potential ordinary stapled securities and have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per stapled security to the extent to which they are dilutive. The performance rights have not been included in the determination of basic earnings per stapled security.

Convertible bond

The remaining convertible bond on issue is considered to be potential ordinary stapled securities, however has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings. The ASX market price of Cromwell stapled securities at year end is below the convertible bond conversion price of $1.141. Therefore, the convertible bond is currently considered to be antidilutive.

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 59 of 112

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

e) Accounting policy

Basic earnings per security

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

Diluted earnings per security

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

4. Distributions

a) Overview

Cromwell’s objective is to generate sustainable returns for our securityholders, including stable annual distributions. When determining distribution rates Cromwell’s board considers a number of factors, including forecast earnings, anticipated capital and lease incentive expenditure requirements over the next three to five years and expected economic conditions.

Distributions paid / payable by Cromwell and the Trust during the year were as follows:

5. Revenue

a) Overview

Cromwell derives revenue from its three main business activities / operating segments (described in note 2). These revenue sources and the revenue items relating to them are as follows:

Direct property investment: Cromwell derives income from its commercial investment property portfolio in Australia, Poland and
Italy in the form of rental income and recoverable outgoings.
Indirect property investment: Cromwell holds investments in managed funds as part of its Invest to Manage strategy. Where
Cromwell does not control the fund but holds more than 20% of the issued capital the investment is
equity accounted and Cromwell recognises its share of the profit. Where Cromwell holds less than
20% of the issued capital distributions from the investment are recognised as revenue. Such
investments include Cromwell's investment in the Singapore listed Cromwell European REIT, the
Ursynów joint venture, LDK Seniors living joint venture and European private unlisted funds.
Fund and asset management: Cromwell receives various types of fund and asset management fees from external retail on
wholesale funds it manages. These include fees for the establishment and ongoing management of
funds as well as performance fees and asset management related fees such as property and facility
management fees, leasing fees and project management fees. Cromwell also derives revenue from
the sale of property developments carried as inventory in Cromwell's balance sheet.

c) Accounting policies

Rental income and recoverable outgoings

Rental income and recoverable outgoings comprises rental income from tenants under operating leases of investment properties and amounts charged to tenants for property outgoings such rates, levies, utilities, cleaning etc.

Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives granted are considered an integral part of the total rental income and are recognised as a reduction in rental income over the term of the lease, on a straight-line basis. Amounts charged for outgoings to tenants are expense recoveries and is recognised upon incurring the expense.

Fund and asset management fees

Revenue from management services is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer and recognised when control over the service is transferred to the customer. Fee income derived from investment management and property services is recognised progressively as the services are provided.

Asset acquisition and disposal, project management and leasing fees are recognised upon completion of the service when the customer derives the benefit from the service.

Performance fee income is recognised progressively as the services are provided but only when the revenue can be reliably measured, and it becomes highly probably that there will be no significant reversal of revenue in future. Performance fees are generally dependent on certain performance obligation specified in the contract with the customer in respect of the management of the customer's assets or the outcome of transactions on behalf of customers.

Development sales and fees

Development sales comprises income from the disposal of property inventories. Revenue is recognised at the point in time that control of the asset has been transferred to the customer, generally upon legal settlement date.

Development management fees are derived from the provision of development management services. Revenue is recognised over time as the service is performed.

Unearned income

Payments from tenants and customers in relation to future periods, which are not due and payable are recognised as unearned income in the balance sheet.

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method. Interest revenue is predominately earned from financial assets including cash and loan receivables.

Distributions

Revenue from distributions is earned from investments and is recognised when the right to receipt is established.

d) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Performance fees

Cromwell exercises judgement in estimating the amount of variable consideration it will be entitled to under the relevant contract and constrains the amount of revenue recognised to the amount that is considered highly probable will not result in a significant reversal. Variable consideration is assessed at each reporting period to account for any changes in circumstances.

Impact of COVID-19

Australia – rental income and related collections were relatively unimpacted by COVID-19 due to the tenant population being heavily skewed towards government and other tenants in markets not materially impacted by the pandemic.

Poland – In the 12 months to 30 June 2021, Poland was subject to a second and third round of lockdowns. During these periods rent and service charges were invoiced but generally remain outstanding owing to the uncertain legal situation regarding lockdown laws. As a result, Cromwell and the Trust have chosen to conservatively recognise an expected credit loss provision at 30 June 2021 of €1.0 million ($1.5 million) at balance date.

Italy – due to the nature of the cornerstone tenant and the geographical location of the properties no COVID-19-related support has been requested nor granted and none is expected for the foreseeable future.

For further information in relation to the treatment of expected credit losses in relation to receivables see notes 13 and 14.

Salaries, wages and other short-term employee benefits obligations

Salaries, wages, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave that are expected to be settled 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.

Bonuses

A liability is recognised for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Superannuation

Contributions are made to defined contribution superannuation funds and expensed as they become payable.

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 63 of 112

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Other long-term employee benefits obligations

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 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. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

Security-based payments

Security-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via Cromwell's Performance Rights Plan (PRP). Further information about the PRP is set out in note 22.

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.

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, Cromwell 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.

Finance costs

Information about Cromwell’s exposure to interest rate changes is provided in note 14(e).

7. Income tax

a) Overview

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax expense. Current tax expense is the income tax payable on expected taxable income for the financial year and adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous financial years. Deferred tax expense is the result of different income and expense recognition principles between accounting standards and tax laws and represents the future tax consequences of recovering or settling the carrying amount of an asset or liability. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences whereas deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses.

Taxation of the Trust

Under current Australian income tax legislation, the Trust and its sub-Trusts are not liable for income tax on their taxable income (including assessable realised capital gains) provided that the unitholders are presently entitled to the income of the Trust. However, the Trust also controls a number of corporate entities that are subject to income tax. Income tax shown for the Trust represents taxation of those corporate entities.

e) Accounting policy

Income tax

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.

Deferred tax is not recognised for the recognition of goodwill on business combination and 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.

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. 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 and foreign entities controlled by the Company) have formed a tax-consolidated group and are taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Cromwell Corporation Limited.

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 head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group, has also entered into a tax sharing agreement.

f) Critical accounting estimates - Revaluation of investment property portfolio

Cromwell’s investment properties, with an aggregate carrying amount of $3,863.5 million (2020: $3,752.3 million) represent a significant balance on Cromwell’s and the Trust’s Balance sheets. Investment properties are measured at fair value using valuation methods that utilise inputs based upon estimates.

All property valuations utilise valuation models based on discounted cash flow (“DCF”) models or income capitalisation models (or a combination of both) supported by recent market sales evidence. See note 8(g) below for further information in relation to the valuation of investment properties.

At balance date the adopted valuations for 25 of Cromwell’s investment properties are based on independent external valuations representing 92% of the value of the portfolio. The balance of the portfolio is subject to internal valuations having regard to previous external valuations and comparable sales evidence, or, in the case of investment properties held for sale, with reference to the relevant sale price. Cromwell’s valuation policy requires all properties to be valued by an independent professionally qualified valuer with a recognised relevant professional qualification at least once every two years.

Impact of COVID-19 on property valuations

For the year ended 30 June 2021 Cromwell’s approach to property valuations was substantially consistent with prior years, being in accordance with the established Valuations policy, but with an added emphasis in relation to the impact of COVID-19 upon inputs relevant to the valuation model for each property.

It should be noted that external valuers have specified in their reports that their valuations at 30 June 2021 were performed in an unusual market context, notably the absence of transactions initiated after the outbreak of the pandemic and difficulties associated with estimating the outlook for changes in the investment property market given the nature of the recent health crisis, and they were working within the context of valuation uncertainty.

g) Fair value measurement

As noted below in Cromwell's accounting policy, investment properties are measured at fair value. The fair value of Cromwell's investment properties is determined using property valuation models that rely on the use of inputs that are not based on readily observable market data. Such valuation methods for determining fair value are called level 3 fair value measurements. These valuation methods and inputs are described in more detail below.

Valuation methodologies

Valuation methodologies
Income capitalisation
method
This method involves assessing the total net market income receivable from the property and capitalising
this perpetually, using an appropriate, market derived capitalisation rate, to derive a capital value, with
allowances for capital expenditure reversions such as lease incentives and required capital works
payable in the near future and overs / unders when comparingmarket rent with passingrent.
DCF method Under the DCF method, a property's fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and
liabilities of ownership over the asset's life including an exit terminal value. The DCF method involves the
projection of expected cash flows from a real property asset over a period of time (generally five years)
discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. An exit terminal value is added to the
present value of the property cash flows using an appropriate terminal yield, to derive the value of the
property.

Both methods require the determination of net market rent for a particular property, being the income capitalised or used to determine the present value of cash flows from the properties.

Unobservable inputs

Unobservable inputs
Annual net property income Annual net property income is the contracted amount for which the property space is leased. In the net
propertyincome, the propertyowner recovers outgoings from the tenant.
Capitalisation rate The rate at which net market income is capitalised to determine the value of the property. The rate is
determined with regards to market evidence(and the prior external valuation for internal valuations).
Discount rate The rate of return used to convert a monetary sum, payable or receivable in the future, into present
value. It reflects the opportunity cost of capital, that is, the rate of return the capital can earn if put to
other uses having similar risk. The rate is determined with regards to market evidence (and the prior
external valuation for internal valuations).
Terminal yield The capitalisation rate used to estimate the residual value of the cash flows associated with the
investment propertyat the end of the expected holdingperiod.

Changes in these unobservable inputs have the following impact on the valuation of the properties:

i) Accounting policy

Investment properties

Investment properties are initially measured at cost including transaction costs and subsequently measured at fair value, with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.

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 and / or the capitalised earnings approach. The highest and best use 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.

Investment properties under construction are classified as investment property and carried at fair value. Finance costs incurred on investment properties under construction are included in the construction costs.

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, rental abatements over the period or a contribution to certain lessee costs such as fit out costs or relocation costs. They are recognised as an asset in the Balance sheet as a component of the carrying amount of investment property and amortised over the lease period as a reduction of rental income.

Initial direct leasing costs

Initial direct leasing costs incurred by Cromwell in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognised as an asset in the Balance sheet 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.

9. Equity accounted investments

a) Overview

This note provides an overview and detailed financial information of Cromwell’s and the Trust’s investments that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These include joint arrangements where Cromwell or the Trust have joint control over an investee together with one or more joint venture partners (these can take the form of either joint arrangements or joint ventures depending upon the contractual rights and obligations of each party) and investments in associates, which are entities over which Cromwell is presumed to have significant influence but not control or joint control by virtue of holding 20% or more of the associates’ issued capital and voting rights, but less than 50%.

Cromwell’s and the Trust’s equity accounted investments are as follows:

b) Details of associate

Cromwell European Real Estate Investment Trust

Cromwell and the Trust have an investment in CEREIT with a carrying amount of $620.7 million (2020: $645.4 million) and $610.0 million (2020: $633.2 million) respectively. CEREIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) listed on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) managed by Cromwell through it 100% owned subsidiary Cromwell EREIT Management Pte. Ltd. (the "Manager"). CEREIT invests in commercial property, mainly office and urban logistics, in western and central Europe with a current portfolio of 108 properties located in 9 European countries with an aggregate portfolio value of €2.3 billion ($3.6 billion). The Manager of CEREIT has its own majority independent board of directors acting solely in the interest of all CEREIT unitholders. As such, Cromwell and the Trust does not control CEREIT, however has significant influence by virtue of their unitholdings.

c) Details of joint ventures

Ursynów

Cromwell and the Trust have an investment in Ursynów with a carrying amount of $51.5 million (2020: $47.3 million). Ursynów forms part of the Cromwell Polish Retail Fund (CPRF). Ursynów is a Polish company limited by shares that owns a single retail asset in Warsaw, Poland. Cromwell and the Trust hold 50% of the voting rights of the company. The other 50% is held by joint venture partner, Unibail Rodamco Westfield (URW). The company is governed by a supervisory board that decides on all relevant activities of the company. Both investors have equal participation rights in the supervisory board and all decision require unanimous consent establishing joint control.

By the virtue of having historically injected a higher proportion of equity, Cromwell had rights to a weighted average share of profit of 88.1% of the profits from the company for the majority of the current year (2020: 94.1%).

In the prior year, the investment was transferred to non-current assets held for sale because URW exercised a call option to acquire Cromwell's and the Trust's 50% equity share. Subsequently, URW expressed its desire to continue with the joint venture on revised terms. Cromwell has now agreed terms with URW in respect of continuing the joint venture, which included an equalisation of the equity injected

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 72 of 112

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

into the company. Accordingly, the investment has been transferred from non-current assets held for sale to equity accounted investments and the share of profits will be split 50% to each joint venture partner going forward.

LDK Healthcare Unit Trust

Cromwell has an investment in LDK with a carrying amount of $21.4 million (2020: $ 6.7 million). LDK is a senior living operator currently operating two senior living villages, being Greenway Views in Tuggeranong, ACT and The Landings in North Turramurra on the Upper North Shore of Sydney, NSW. Cromwell holds 50% of the units in LDK with the other 50% held by a single investor. By virtue of the unitholder agreement all decisions about the relevant activities of LDK require unanimous consent of both unitholders establishing joint control. Both parties have only rights to the net assets of the venture which is therefore classed as a joint venture that is equity accounted. Currently, Cromwell has rights to all profits from LDK until a certain internal rate of return (IRR) threshold is achieved in respect of its capital invested at which point in time profits will be shared between the joint venture partners.

Other joint ventures and associates

Other equity accounted investments include Cromwell's investment in Oyster Property Funds Limited (Oyster) (50% interest), a New Zealand based fund and property manager which is jointly owned with six other shareholders, and Phoenix portfolio’s (45% interest), an Australian based equity fund manager.

d) Accounting policy

Interests in associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in Cromwell’s financial statements using the equity method. Cromwell’s share of its associates and joint ventures’ 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 and joint ventures 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 or joint venture equals or exceeds its investment in the joint venture, including any other relevant unsecured receivables, Cromwell does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. Unrealised gains on transactions between Cromwell its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of Cromwell’s investment in the associate or joint venture. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

e) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The judgements and assumptions regarding the investments in Cromwell European Real Estate Investment Trust (CEREIT), Ursynów and LDK Healthcare Pty Ltd (LDK) are detailed below.

Cromwell European Real Estate Investment Trust

Cromwell and the Trust are considered to be able to exert significant influence, but not control, over the entity. This determination is pursuant to the assessment of control and the consideration of key factors regarding the management of CEREIT as governed by Cromwell’s Capital Markets Service Licence as issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the composition of the Board.

Cromwell’s investment in CEREIT was assessed for indicators of impairment. This process included investigations by management in relation to salient components of the CEREIT operations and financial metrics and an analysis of movements in the CEREIT’s price on the Singapore Stock Market (SGX). Whilst the CEREIT share price on the SGX was below that of the carrying value per unit at which Cromwell and the Trust carry their investments, the diminution in price was not considered to be either significant or prolonged. Hence, no indicators of impairment were identified and no impairment was recognised as a result.

Ursynów

Cromwell and the Trust can only exercise joint control over the relevant decisions but not control, over the entity. This determination is pursuant to the assessment of control and the consideration of key factors regarding the management of Ursynów, the composition of the Board and other relevant agreements and joint control over relevant decisions.

LDK Healthcare Unit Trust

Cromwell can only exercise joint control over the relevant decisions but not control, over the entity. This determination is pursuant to the assessment of control and the consideration of key factors regarding the management of LDK, the composition of the Board and other relevant agreements and joint control over relevant decisions.

Cromwell has rights to a disproportionate share of profits (currently 100%) from LDK until a certain internal rate of return (IRR) threshold is achieved in respect of its capital invested. This determination is pursuant to an assessment of relevant agreements.

10. Investments at fair value through profit or loss

a) Overview

This note provides an overview and detailed financial information of Cromwell’s investments that are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Below is information about Cromwell’s investments in unlisted property related entities whereby Cromwell holds less than 20% of the issued capital in the investee. Such investments are classified as investments at fair value through profit or loss which are carried at fair value in the Balance sheet with adjustments to the fair value recorded in profit or loss and include co-investments in European wholesale funds managed by Cromwell and any other relevant financial assets.

b) Accounting policy

Investments 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. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss also include financial assets which upon initial recognition are designated as such. These include financial assets that are not held for trading purposes and which may be sold. These are investments in exchange traded equity instruments and unlisted trusts.

At initial recognition, Cromwell measures a financial asset at its fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the Statement of comprehensive income.

Subsequent to initial recognition, Cromwell continues to measure all equity investments at fair value. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (e.g. for unlisted securities), Cromwell establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include reference to the fair values of recent arm’s length transactions, involving the same instruments or other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and pricing models to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances.

Changes in the fair value of equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income as applicable.

For methods used to measure the fair value measurement of Cromwell’s and the Trust’s investments at fair value through profit or loss refer to note 14.

FINANCE AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

This section of the annual financial report provides further information on Cromwell's and the Trust's capital that comprises debt and stapled securityholders' equity and reserves. The Board of Directors is responsible for Cromwell's capital management strategy. Capital management is an integral part of Cromwell’s risk management framework and seeks to safeguard Cromwell’s ability to continue as a going concern while maximising securityholder value through optimising the level and use of capital resources and the mix of debt and equity funding.

This section outlines the financial risks that Cromwell and the Trust are exposed to and how these risks are managed as part of Cromwell's capital management.

11. Interest bearing liabilities

a) Overview

Cromwell and the Trust borrow funds from financial institutions and investors (the latter in the form of convertible bonds) to partly fund the acquisition of income producing assets. A significant proportion of these borrowings are generally fixed either directly or through the use of interest rate swaps/options and have a fixed term. This note provides information about Cromwell’s debt facilities, including maturity dates, security provided and facility limits.

d) Accounting policies

Interest bearing liabilities 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.

The fair value of the borrowing portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a borrowing liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the derivative conversion feature. This is recognised as a financial liability if the convertible bond does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” rule, otherwise it is included in shareholders’ equity.

Borrowing costs incurred on funds borrowed for the construction of a property are capitalised, forming part of the construction cost of the asset. Capitalisation ceases upon practical completion of the property. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

For information in respect of accounting policies in relation to lease liabilities see note 19.

c) Conversion feature – convertible bond

The conversion option amount represents the additional value provided to convertible bond holders compared with the same corporate bond that would have no feature to convert the bonds into Cromwell stapled securities at the end or during the term of the bond. For accounting purposes such a conversion feature is accounted for separately from the bond as a derivative financial instrument and is carried at fair value. Movements of the conversion features since recognition since issue of the convertible bonds is as follows:

(1) Includes loans to related parties.

Loan – vendor finance

The Trust has provided a loan facility to the acquirer of the Wakefield Street, SA, property which terminates on 20 December 2021. The maximum loan facility is $27.0 million with a current interest rate of 7.0%.

Loans – joint venture partners

LDK joint venture

i) Working capital loan

Cromwell and the Trust have provided LDK with a ‘Working capital loan’ facility terminating on 31 December 2023. The maximum loan facility is $10.0 million with an interest rate of 12%. The balance receivable at year end was $4.3 million (2020: $0.9 million).

ii) “Waterfall” loans

Previously Cromwell and the Trust provided a number of loan facilities to LDK. At 31 December 2020 these loan facilities (classified as being held at fair value through profit or loss) were cancelled and the loan balance at that time of $149.5 million (June 2020: $157.1 million) was transferred to new loan facilities of $173.0 million in aggregate (classified as being held at amortised cost). The new facilities are secured by second ranking mortgages over the investment properties owned by LDK. The balance receivable at year end was $141.9 million.

These facilities do not constitute a component of Cromwell’s net investment in the joint venture itself due to the loans being either secured or their settlement being planned and likely.

Ursynów joint venture

Cromwell and the Trust provided a PLN-denominated loan facility to Ursynów of PLN 100.0 million. The loan, which had a balance of $30.9 million at the end of the prior year, was repaid in full during the current year and the related facility cancelled.

Loans - inter-group

The Trust has provided a loan facility to the Company of €100.0 million. The loan balance was €47.2 million ($74.6 million) (2020: €59.9 million ($98.0 million)) at balance date. The facility is unsecured and expires in February 2029.

d) Accounting policy

Trade receivables and loans at amortised cost

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less any expected credit losses. Operating lease receivables of investment properties are due on the first day of each month, payable in advance.

Note: as a result of COVID-19 Cromwell has undertaken a comprehensive review of tenant receivables. All tenant receivables not considered to be recoverable have been fully provided for.

Loans at fair value through profit or loss

Loans at fair value through profit or loss are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value using techniques detailed in note 14.

Note: the recoverability and measurement of loans to related parties was assessed against the backdrop of COVID-19. Recoverability was assessed based upon financial and non-financial information provided by the borrowers. Recoverability was found to not be negatively impacted.

Trade 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.

Cromwell’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks which include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Cromwell’s overall risk management program focuses on managing these risks and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of Cromwell.

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’s risk exposures and techniques used to manage these are summarised below:

Risk Definition of risk Cromwell’s exposure Cromwell’s management of risk
Credit risk
(Section 14(b))
The risk a counterparty will
default on its contractual
obligations under a financial
instrument resulting in a
financial loss to Cromwell.
 Cash and cash
equivalents;
 Receivables;
 Derivative financial
instruments;
 Investments in equity
accounted investments;
 Investments at fair value
through profit or loss.
Cromwell manages this risk by:
 establishing credit limits for counterparties 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;

For the year ended 30 June 2021

 regularly monitoring loans and receivables on an
ongoing basis; and
 regularly monitoring the performance of
associates on an ongoing basis.
Liquidity risk
(Section 14(c))
The risk Cromwell will
default on its contractual
obligations under a financial
instrument.
 Payables;
 Borrowings;
 Derivative financial
instruments.
Cromwell manages this by:
 maintaining sufficient cash reserves and undrawn
finance facilities to meet ongoing liquidity
requirements;
 preparation of rolling forecasts of short-term and
long-term liquidity requirements;
 monitoring maturity profile of borrowings and
putting in place strategies to ensure all maturing
borrowings are refinanced significantly ahead of
maturity.
Market risk –
price risk
(Section 14(d))
The risk that the fair value of
financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss will
fluctuate.
 Investments at fair value
through profit or loss.
Cromwell has minimal exposure to this risk and
therefore does not actively manage this risk.
Market risk –
interest rate risk
(Section 14(e))
The risk that the fair value or
cash flows of financial
instruments will fluctuate
due to changes in market
interest rates.
 Borrowings at variable or
fixed rates;
 Derivative financial
instruments.
Cromwell manages this risk through interest rate
hedging arrangements (swap or cap contracts) on
not less than 50% of Cromwell's borrowings.
Market risk –
foreign
exchange risk
(Section 14(f))
The risk that the fair value of
a foreign currency asset or
liability will fluctuate due to
changes in foreign currency
rates.
 Cash and cash
equivalents;
 Investments in foreign
subsidiaries;
 Investments in foreign
equity accounted
investments;
 Foreign currency
borrowings.
Cromwell manages this risk by financing Cromwell's
foreign currency investments through foreign
currency borrowings providing a natural hedge.

b) Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount of financial assets recognised in the Balance sheet of Cromwell. Cromwell and the Trust hold collateral as security in relation to the following:

  • Loan – vendor finance – this loan is secured by first ranking mortgage over the relevant investment property.

  • Loans at amortised cost -LDK – these loans are secured by first and second raking mortgages over relevant investment properties and other assets within the LDK structure.

  • Cash is held with Australian, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Singapore and European financial institutions. Interest rate derivative counterparties are all Australian and European financial institutions.

d) Market risk – price risk

Cromwell and the Trust are exposed to price risk in relation to its unlisted equity securities (refer note 10), although this exposure is currently immaterial.

e) Market risk – 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 interest on a total of 82% (2020: 66%) of Cromwell’s total borrowings is effectively fixed by being at fixed rates or through interest rate swap and cap contracts.

For details about notional amounts and expiries of Cromwell’s and the Trust’s interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts refer to note 12.

The below table shows the impact on profit after tax and equity if interest rates changed by 100 basis points based on borrowings and interest rate derivatives held at year-end with all other variables held constant. The impact on profit after tax and equity includes impact on finance costs (cash flow risk) and the fair value of derivative financial instruments (fair value risk).

f) Market risk – foreign exchange risk

Cromwell’s foreign exchange risk primarily arises from its investments in foreign subsidiaries and the investment in CEREIT. The functional currency of these entities is Euro or Polish Zloty. No hedge accounting was applied in relation to the net investment in the foreign subsidiaries.

Cromwell’s and the Trust’s exposure to Euro foreign currency risk due to the ownership, funding and operation of the investment property portfolios in Poland and Italy and the investment in CEREIT as well as overseas subsidiaries, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

A change in the exchange rate of the Polish Złoty would not result in a material impact on Cromwell's profit after tax and equity.

g) Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Cromwell uses a number of methods to determine the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities. The methods comprise the following:

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 liabilitythat are not based on observable market data(unobservable inputs).

h) Disclosed fair values

i) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 1 fair values

At balance date, Cromwell held no Level 1 assets. The fair value of financial assets 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.

ii) 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 of observable market data, assessed for the impact of COVID-19 where it is applicable 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.

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 86 of 112

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Fair value of investments at fair value through profit or loss

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

Fair value of interest rate swaps and caps

Level 2 financial assets and financial liabilities held by Cromwell include “Vanilla” fixed to floating interest rate swap and interest rate cap derivatives (over-the-counter derivatives). The fair value of these derivatives has been determined using pricing models 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.

Fair value of conversion feature – convertible bond

The fair value of the convertible bond conversion feature has been determined by comparing the market value of the convertible bond to the value of a bond with the same terms and conditions but without an equity conversion feature (bond floor). The difference between the two types of bonds is considered to represent the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible bond.

iii) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 3 fair values

If the fair value of financial instruments is determined using valuation techniques and if one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

Receivables held at fair value through profit or loss

Level 3 assets held by Cromwell and the Trust included loans to the LDK joint venture. The fair value of these loans was based on the relevant discounted net cash inflows from expected future inflows of principal and interest.

Fair value of investments at fair value through profit or loss

Level 3 assets held by Cromwell include co-investments in Cromwell Europe managed wholesale property funds. The fair value of these investments is determined based on the value of the underlying assets held by the fund. The assets of the fund are subject to regular external valuations which are based on discounted net cash inflows from expected future income and/or comparable sales of similar assets. Appropriate discount rates determined by the independent valuer are used to determine the present value of the net cash inflows based on a market interest rate adjusted for the risk premium specific to each asset.

i) Accounting policy

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in Cromwell’s Balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. On initial recognition, financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised net of transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of these financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of comprehensive income.

Financial assets

Classification and subsequent recognition and measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition Cromwell classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 87 of 112

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

  • Those to be measured at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss); and

  • Those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends upon the whether the objective of Cromwell’s relevant business model is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows (business model test) and whether the contractual terms of the cash flows give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (cash flow test).

Financial assets recognised at amortised cost

Trade and other receivables are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest and are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

Collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off.

Financial assets recognised at fair value through profit or loss

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income and presented net within other gains / (losses) in the period in which it arises.

Impairment

Cromwell recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables that are measured at amortised cost and contract assets. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

For trade receivables, Cromwell applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9 Financial Instruments , which requires expected lifetime credit losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on Cromwell’s historical credit loss experience adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

Cromwell impairs a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery.

Response to COVID-19

As a result of COVID-19 Cromwell has undertaken a comprehensive review of the tenant receivables schedule. Any and all tenant receivables not considered to be recoverable have been fully provided for and are not included in the tenant receivables balance at year end.

Cromwell has also undertaken a review of its loan asset portfolio (including loans carried at fair value and loans carried at amortised cost). This process involved a thorough examination of all loan receivable balances with counterparties to assess the extent of expected credit losses that should be recognised. This resulted in minimal ($0.2 million) expected credit losses to be recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Equity instruments issued by Cromwell are recognised at the value of the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Cromwell’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of Cromwell’s own equity instruments.

Compound instruments

The component parts of convertible loan notes issued by Cromwell are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversion option

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 88 of 112

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

that will not be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Cromwell’s own equity instruments is an embedded derivative and not an equity instrument.

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non ‐ convertible instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date.

The conversion option classified as an embedded derivative is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument in its entirety. This component is recognised and classified as a financial liability and categorised as being at fair value through profit or loss. This amount is subsequently remeasured (see “Embedded derivatives” section below).

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held ‐ for ‐ trading, or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Cromwell derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, its obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement comprehensive income.

When Cromwell exchanges one debt instrument for another with substantially different terms with an existing lender, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, Cromwell accounts for the substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.

Derivative financial instruments

15. Contributed equity

a) Overview

Issued capital of Cromwell includes ordinary shares in Cromwell Corporation Limited and ordinary units of Cromwell Diversified Property Trust which are stapled to create Cromwell's stapled securities. The shares of the Company and units of the CDPT cannot be traded separately and can only be traded as stapled securities.

Stapled securities 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.

Cromwell's and the Trust's issued capital at year-end were as follows:

(1) 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 stapled ordinary securities rather than being paid in cash. The plan has been suspended since the payment of the December 2019 in February 2020.

c) Accounting policy

The ordinary shares of the Company are stapled with the units of the Trust and are together referred to as stapled securities. Stapled securities 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 Cromwell’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-based 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.

GROUP STRUCTURE

This section provides information about the Cromwell Property Group structure including parent entity information and information about controlled entities (subsidiaries).

17. Parent entity disclosures

a) Overview

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requires the disclosure of summarised financial information for the parent entity of a consolidated group. Further, Australian Accounting Standards require stapled groups to identify the parent entity of the group and identify equity attributable to the parent entity separately from other entities stapled to the parent entity. The equity attributable to other entities stapled to the parent entities is considered to be a non-controlling interest in the balance sheet of the group.

The parent entity of the Cromwell stapled group is Cromwell Corporation Limited (the "Company"). The equity attributable to the Trust is considered to be the non-controlling interest in the balance sheet of Cromwell. The parent entity of the Trust group is Cromwell Diversified Property Trust ("CDPT").

c) Commitments

At balance date the Company and CDPT had no commitments (2020: none) in relation to capital expenditure contracted for but not recognised as liabilities.

d) Guarantees provided

The Company and CDPT have both provided guarantees in relation to the convertible bonds disclosed at note 11(c). Both entities unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the due and punctual payment of all amounts at any time becoming due and payable in respect of the convertible bond. These guarantees were provided in a prior year.

e) Contingent liabilities

At balance date the Company and CDPT had no contingent liabilities (2020: none).

f) Accounting policy

  • The financial information for the Company and CDPT is prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except for:

  • Investments in subsidiaries and equity accounted investments – these are accounted for at cost less accumulated impairment charges in the financial report of the parent entity. Distributions and dividends received from subsidiaries and equity accounted investments are not eliminated and recognised in profit or loss.

  • Tax consolidation legislation – the Company is the head entity of a tax consolidated group as discussed. As the head entity, the Company recognises the current tax balances and the deferred tax assets for unused tax losses and credits assumed from other members as well as its own current and deferred tax amounts. Amounts receivable from or payable to the other members are recognised by the Company as intercompany receivables or payables.

OTHER ITEMS

This section of the annual financial report provides information about individually significant items to the Balance sheets, Statements of comprehensive income and Cash flow statements and items that are required to be disclosed by Australian Accounting Standards.

20. Leased assets and related leases

a) Overview

Cromwell and the Trust are lessees in a number of leasing arrangements. Leases grant Cromwell and the Trust the "right-of-use" for the leased asset for the contractual period of the lease in return for fixed lease payments. The right-of-use is recognised as an asset within the balance sheet category the relating leased asset would ordinarily be classified in and depreciated over the shorter of the contractual lease period or the useful life of the leased asset. The present value of remaining lease payments is recognised as a liability within borrowings.

Cromwell and the Trust are lessees in the following leasing arrangements:

  • Leasehold land – leases of land upon which some of Cromwell's and the Trust investment properties are situated (leasehold properties). The right-of-use assets relating to such lease leases are recognised within investment properties. See note 8 for more information in relation to Cromwell's and the Trust's investment properties situated on leasehold land.

  • Office leases – leases of office space in Australia, Singapore and Europe. The relating right-of-use assets are recognised within property, plant and equipment.

  • Equipment leases – leases of office equipment. The right-of-use assets are recognised within property, plant & equipment.

b) Amounts recognised in the financial statements

The below table shows the information in relation to Cromwell and Trust’s leased assets and relevant lease liabilities for the year ending and as at 30 June 2021 (see note 11(c) also for further information):

c) Accounting policy

Accounting as lessee

Cromwell recognised a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset at the commencement of a lease.

The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease or relevant incremental borrowing rate. Subsequently the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications. The lease liability is presented as a component of borrowings.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before commencement, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. The right-of use asset is subsequently measured as cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter period of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.

21. Intangible assets

a) Overview

This note provides an overview and detailed financial information of Cromwell’s intangible assets, which consist solely of software assets. During the year, as a result of a relevant IFRIC Agenda Decision, Cromwell changed its accounting policy with regard to the capitalisation of specific software ‘configuration and customisation costs’ in relation to ‘Software-as-a-Service’ (“SaaS”) arrangements. The rationale and financial impact of the change in accounting policy is below:

Application to Cromwell

The impact of the accounting policy change in relation to SaaS includes:

  • accounting policy change is applied to the current year and retrospectively, leading to a retrospective restatement of historical financial information;

  • derecognition of relevant capitalised Software-as-a-Service ('SaaS') costs and reversal of associated amortisation in the current year and retrospectively, which has resulted in the restatement of prior year comparatives as disclosed below; and

  • an opening balance adjustment at 1 July 2019 of $2.0 million.

Adjusted intangible assets

The schedule below provides information about the movements in intangible assets, including the derecognition of previously capitalised SaaS costs and the restated prior year comparatives.

b) Accounting policy

Implementation of IFRIC Agenda Decision

During the year Cromwell revised its accounting policy in relation to the treatment of configuration and customisation costs incurred in implementing SaaS service arrangements. The new accounting policy is presented below. As a result of the change in accounting policy, a retrospective restatement of the historical financial information is presented in section (d) below.

Change in Accounting Policy

Costs incurred to configure or customise Cromwell's SaaS application software are expensed when the costs are incurred. Costs which relate to the development of software code that enhances or modifies on-premise software, or costs incurred for software which meet the recognition criteria for an intangible asset, are capitalised as incurred.

Intangible assets acquired and recognised under these criteria are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Cromwell currently carries only on-premise software as intangible assets. Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over two to five years.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

c) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Capitalisation of configuration and customisation costs in SaaS arrangements

Costs incurred to configure or customise Cromwell's SaaS application software are expensed when the costs are incurred. Costs which relate to the development of software code than enhances or modifies or creates additional capability to existing on-premise software to enable it to connect with cloud-based SaaS applications may meet the definition of an intangible asset and can be capitalised.

Judgement is required to determine whether these costs meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible asset. Management applies judgement to the concept of ‘control’ of these software enhancements, whereby an assessment is made whether the SaaS provider, as the supplier, or Cromwell, as the customer, has control of these assets. When Cromwell consider that ‘control’ remains with the supplier, these costs are expensed. Where Cromwell consider it has control over the software code, it may recognise these costs as assets.

d) Retrospective restatement

The schedule below provides information about the retrospective impact to previously recognised capitalised and amortised SaaS costs, which includes the derecognition of previously capitalised costs as if they had not been recognised. The 30 June 2020 restatement recognises the derecognition of all SaaS costs capitalised and amortised during that year. The 1 July 2019 opening balance adjustment represents the derecognition of cumulative historical capitalised and amortised SaaS costs.

e) Accounting policy

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.

23. Security based payments

a) Overview

Cromwell operates a security based compensation scheme, the Performance Rights Plan (PRP). Under the PRP, eligible employees, including executive directors, have the right to acquire Cromwell securities at a consideration of between $0.00 and $0.50 subject to certain vesting conditions. Eligibility is by invitation of the Board of Directors and 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.

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 102 of 112

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

b) PRP

All full-time and part-time employees who meet minimum service, remuneration and performance requirements, including executive directors, are eligible to participate in the PRP at the discretion of the Board. 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 three 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.

Set out below is a summary of movements in the number of performance rights outstanding at the end of the financial year:

The weighted average price per security at the date of exercise of options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2021 was $0.87 (2020: $1.21). No options expired during the years covered in the table above.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the 10,185,693 performance rights outstanding at the end of the financial year (2020: 13,818,156) was 1.5 years (2020: 1.3 years).

Fair value of performance rights granted

The fair value of performance rights granted during the year was between $0.77 and $1.04 per option for PRP with an exercise price of $nil (2020: fair value between $0.57 and $1.06 and exercise prices of $nil and $0.50).

Performance rights do not have any market-based vesting conditions. The fair values at grant date are 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 included:

2021 2020

Risk free interest rate(s):

Range between 0.78% and 0.56%
30-Jul-23 and 30-Sept-23
Range between 31-Oct-22 and 30-Sept-22

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

Items that have not been recognised on Cromwell’s and the Trust’s Balance sheet include contractual commitments for future expenditure and contingent liabilities which are not sufficiently certain to qualify for recognition as a liability on the Balance sheet. This note provides details of any such items.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Stapled Security Holders of Cromwell Property Group and the Unitholders of Cromwell Diversified Property Trust

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of:

  • Cromwell Property Group (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated stapled entity. The consolidated stapled entity compromises Cromwell Corporation Limited (“the Company”), Cromwell Diversified Property Trust, and the entities they controlled at the year end or from time to time during the year; and

  • Cromwell Diversified Property Trust (the “Trust”) which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of Cromwell Property Securities Limited (the “Responsible Entity”), as Responsible Entity of the Trust. The consolidated entity comprises Cromwell Diversified Property Trust and the entities it controlled at the year end or from time to time during the year.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial reports of the Group and Trust are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • giving a true and fair view of the Group’s and Trust’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of their financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company and Cromwell Property Securities Limited as the Responsible Entity for the Trust, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the
KeyAudit Matter
Valuation of investment properties
At 30 June 2021, Cromwell Property Group
recognised investment properties valued at
$3,864 million as disclosed in Note 8.
The Group owns either directly or through joint
ventures a portfolio of property consisting of
properties across Australia, Italy and Poland.
Valuations were carried out by internal and third
party valuers for all investment properties in
Australia, Italy and Poland during the year.
Within the 30 June 2021 valuations, valuers
included observations as to the general market
uncertainty caused by COVID-19. This highlights
a higher degree of caution should be attached to
the valuations than would normally be the case.
Note 8 describes the valuation methodologies
adopted by the Group:

the capitalisation approach applies a
capitalisation rate to normalised market
net operating income.

the discounted cash flow method
involves the projection of cash flows
discounted to present value.
The valuation processes requires significant
judgment and estimation in the following:

net market income

net operating income

compound annual growth rates

terminal yields

capitalisation rates; and

discount rates.
Our procedures included but, were not limited to:

Assessing
the
design
and
testing
the
operating
effectiveness of relevant controls within management’s
valuation framework and assessing the oversight applied by
the directors

Enquiring of management to obtain an understanding of
portfolio movements and their identification of any
additional property specific matters, as well as their
assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the valuations,
including the uncertainty statement included in the
valuation reports

Assessing the independence, competence and objectivity of
the external valuers, as well as competence and objectivity
of internal valuers (where relevant).

Performing an analytical review and risk assessment of the
portfolio, assessing the key inputs and assumptions

Testing on a sample basis, both externally and internally
valued properties, for:

the completeness and accuracy of the information in
the valuation by agreeing key inputs such as annual
net operating income to underlying audited records
and source evidence

the forecasts used in the valuations with reference to
current financial results such as net operating income,
capital expenditure requirements, occupancy and
lease renewals; and

the mathematical accuracy of the valuation models

Assessing the assumptions used in the valuations, including
the capitalisation rate used, and net market income
adjustments made in the capitalisation approach and the
discount rate, compound annual growth rate, and terminal
yield used in the discounted cashflow method with
reference to external market trends & transactions,
property specific factors such as tenant mix and changes
since the prior valuation.
We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included
in the Notes to the financial statements.

Other Information

The directors of the Company and the Responsible Entity (“the Directors”) are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Report , which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and also includes the following information which will be included in the Group’s annual report (but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon): Financial Highlights, Chairman’s Report, CEO’s Report, Corporate Governance Statement and Securityholder Information, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the Financial Highlights, Chairman’s Report, CEO’s Report, Corporate Governance Statement and Securityholder Information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives 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 report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and the Trust to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Trust or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s and Trust’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Cromwell Property Group | Annual Financial Report | Page 111 of 112

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and Trust to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group and Trust to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s and Trust’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
