Chairman ' s Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Dear Shareholder,

In a year characterised by significant opportunity and change, I present this Report for the CVC Group for the year ended 30 June 2019.

CVC is and always has been a people business. We are proud of our tradition of fostering long term team members as part of a vibrant community, and providing real opportunities for life time learning and growth.

Financial Performance

Notwithstanding an increase in total group income of 6.8% to $69.6 million, net profit after tax fell 96.3% to $1 million resulting in a net loss to shareholders after tax of $2.1m. These results are clearly disappointing.

Performance during the period reflected significant variability across segments with strong contributions from property based activities and funds management offset by losses in listed and private equities. The year saw a number of strong individual performances particular in the direct property sphere with the completion of the Bunnings’ bulky goods development at Port Macquarie, the completion of the Caltex travel centre at Caboolture Queensland, and advances on other key projects.

A sound balance sheet and cash in excess of $57 million at balance date allowed the Company to maintain its dividend with the payment of combined fully franked dividends of 15 cents per share in the year ended 30 June 2019.

Key Achievements

CVC achieved a number of notable outcomes in the year to 30 June 2019 despite a volatile and uncertain investment environment.

Key achievements included:

  • Completion of the Bunnings’ bulky goods development at Port Macquarie and the completion of the Caltex travel centre at Caboolture, Queensland;

  • Further advances in planning approvals for major property projects at Marsden Park, Donnybrook, Liverpool, Turrella, Kingsgrove and Bentleigh;

  • An increase in ownership interests to approximately 67% in the Liverpool and Turrella projects;

  • Completion of a $45 million initial capital raising by the CVC Emerging Companies Fund; and

  • Continued notable contributions from the Property Backed Lending and Funds Management sectors.

CVC LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Chairman ' s Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Simplified Strategy

Subsequent to year end, the Company announced the adoption of a simplified investment strategy resulting in a more concentrated investment thesis with a focus on sectors that reflect CVC’s core competencies and skills.

The simplification process has four key components. A focused investment strategy with steps taken to rationalise non-core components of the business. A repositioning of the Company to focus on the core skills and capabilities of the now incumbent investment team. Consequential cost reductions as the breadth of the Company’s activities are reduced and an active program to divest non-core investments.

Each of these steps is being pursued simultaneously and we look forward to providing an update on progress and outcomes at the 2019 AGM.

Human Capital

CVC is and always has been a people business. We are proud of our tradition of fostering long term team members as part of a vibrant community and providing real opportunities for life time learning and growth.

The adoption of a new investment strategy has seen the departure of a number of long term key members of the equities management team. We acknowledge and thank these senior executives for their substantial contribution and service over an extended period. Most notably is the retirement subsequent to balance date of the Company’s long standing Managing Director and CEO, Mr Sandy Beard after 28 years of service. In no small part the strong returns over an extended period enjoyed by CVC shareholders is reflective of Sandy’s commitment, energy and foresight. We welcome Mark Avery to the role of Managing Director and CEO. Mark has led CVC’s Property Division since 2010 and brings over 15 years of property investment and management experience. The Board looks forward to working closely with Mark to continue to deliver strong and sustained returns to all stakeholders.

the CVC 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM is designed to provide you with an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the operations and performance of your Company. A long standing tradition emphasised under my stewardship, the CVC AGM has always provided an informative opportunity for shareholders to meet with the Board and management of CVC to ask any questions or provide feedback on the Company’s performance.

Outlook

The Board and management look forward to providing stakeholders with an update on the achievements from, and progress on, the strategy simplification process.

During this process, CVC is unable to confidently forecast profitability, capital management initiatives, and dividend payments for the forthcoming year ending 30 June 2020.

I, on behalf of the entire CVC team, would like to extend my appreciation for your continued support of, and interest in, CVC. The CVC team looks forward to continuing to share the journey with you.

JOHN D. READ

Chairman

The 2019 AGM

In times of change clear communication is paramount. Accordingly, I strongly encourage you, if possible, to attend

Direct Property

CVC’s property portfolio is a major source of recurrent earnings and capital growth. Total contribution to profit before tax was $16.4 million (2018: $15.4 million) net of project specific borrowing costs of $0.7 million. This included the following significant events during the year:

  • Completion of the Bunnings development in Port Macquarie, New South Wales generating a profit of $6.2 million;

  • Continued refurbishment of the Mooloolaba Wharf, Queensland generated an uplift in value of $3.5 million; and

  • Further progress in rezoning the Bentleigh, Victoria project delivered an increase in value of $5.0 million;

CVC focuses on opportunities to acquire quality long term property holdings with potential for repositioning and value creation. The current portfolio includes investments in residential, commercial, retail and industrial assets.

The Board is confident of the potential value to be unlocked from the investment portfolio over the long term, particularly from its significant property positions including, but not limited to, the Marsden Park, Donnybrook and Liverpool projects, which are forecast to deliver substantial upside from their current carrying values once planning outcomes have been achieved.

The Year in Review

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Property Backed Lending

Total contribution to profit before tax was $5.8 million (2018: $8.4 million). The net loan portfolio at the end of the financial year has increased to a net $41.3 million (2018: $31.0 million). Net returns have been impacted year-onyear by impairment charges of $1.0 million during the current financial year compared to impairment recoveries of $2.2 million in 2018.

The property market continues to experience a degree of volatility, with a tightening of credit markets as well as falls in values across different segments. This has meant that flexible lenders like CVC are able to achieve higher returns and improved security on loans.

Deal flow remains strong for lending opportunities creating significant opportunities for CVC over the longer term. The capital market for the provision of loan finance solutions is expected to generate consistent long-term interest income streams.

Funds Management

The contribution to comprehensive income of this segment was $1.5 million (2018: $1.6 million). CVC continues to grow its funds management segment. CVC rolled out new offerings which included the following:

  • In joint venture with Evans Dixon Limited (ASX: ED1), CVC established and raised $45 million in the CVC Emerging Companies Fund, a wholesale unit trust which will invest in unlisted and listed emerging companies;

  • The acquisition of the remaining 60% of Eildon Funds Management Limited, which provides management services to Eildon Capital Limited and Eildon Debt Fund, with a combined Funds Under Management of approximately $100 million;

  • Causeway Income Partners Limited, a joint venture with Causeway Financial Pty Limited, commenced the raising of a $75 million wholesale corporate debt fund; and

  • Australian Invoice Finance Limited and Bigstone Capital Pty Limited continuing to grow their loan portfolio and investor base.

CVC has supported the development of external fund managers including seeding investment vehicles that are synergistic with the investment philosophy of CVC. These new strategies will complement the existing portfolio and contribute to ongoing profitability via recurrent management fees and performance fees.

The Year in Review

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Commercial Debt and Alternative Assets

Total contribution to profit before tax was $0.3 million (2018: $1.2 million). The current loan portfolio at the end of the financial year was $9.9 million (2018: $10.8 million). Returns have been impacted by impairment provisions of $1.8 million in relation to a number of investments.

Similar to the tightening credit markets being experienced by property borrowers, bank lenders are continuing to tighten commercial lending, with more stringent credit assessments, while relying less on property as underlying security. In particular, Small to Medium Enterprises (SME) and Middle Market borrowers are being adversely impacted.

This is presenting lenders like CVC with opportunities to generate higher return on loans with improved security.

The results include losses from trading and share price reductions of $7.5 million (2018: profit of $10.8 million) which was partially offset by distributions received of $1.8 million (2018: $2.9 million).

Private Equity

The total loss to comprehensive income was $1.7 million (2018: profit of $1.6 million) including the results of equity accounted investments. The loss was mainly attributed to the revaluation of a number of smaller equity holdings in investments.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Following a review of the carrying value of the listed and private equity portfolio, a decision was made to rebalance the investment portfolio to a more concentrated investment strategy, including holding a smaller, concentrated high conviction equities portfolio, growing the loan portfolio, while continuing to focus on the existing successful direct property investment strategy.

Given the transition to the new investment strategy, the Board is not in a position to provide guidance for the financial year ending 30 June 2020.

With substantial cash holdings and a portfolio of investments that are forecast to result in short, medium and long term realisations, CVC is well positioned to deliver both growing annual profitability and dividends for shareholders over the longer term.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND DIVIDEND POLICY

The Board is committed to the payment of dividends to shareholders that reflects underlying profitability.

A final fully franked dividend of 8 cents per share was declared and paid to shareholders on 20 August 2019. Given the uncertainty of short term profitability as CVC transitions to the new strategy, the Board is unable to provide guidance on the payment of dividends to shareholders, including the level to which dividends will be franked.

CVC has periodically purchased shares under its buy back scheme, dependant on price. The buy back scheme will be utilised to enable a better alignment of assets with recurrent earnings and is accretive to shareholder value.

Direct Property:

Total contribution to profit before tax was $16.4 million (2018: $15.4 million) net of project specific borrowing costs of $0.7 million. The result for the year was directly attributed to positive results of a number of activities during the year including:

  • The completion of the development of the Caltex travel centre at Caboolture, Queensland generating $0.7 million;

  • The continued commercialisation of the Caboolture, Queensland project with approvals being finalised for the next stage of development and finalising negotiations with national tenants for the site, with an increase in value of $1.0 million;

  • The completion of the development of the Bunnings and associated bulky goods centre at Port Macquarie, New South Wales of $6.2 million, including an uplift in the value of the arising from the sale of the site as part of a project delivery agreement with the buyer;

  • The progression of the rezoning of the Bentleigh, Victoria site has seen further increase in value of $5.0 million; and

  • The continued refurbishment of the Mooloolaba Wharf, Queensland with the rejuvenation of the centre with re-leasing and repositioning of retail tenancies, generating an uplift in value of $3.5 million.

In addition to the above, CVC increased its holding in the Liverpool and Turrella projects in New South Wales to approximately 67%. CVC continues to progress the planning approvals on these projects as well as the Marsden Park North in New South Wales, East Bentleigh and Donnybrook in Victoria projects. These projects provide long term development pipelines once planning outcomes have been achieved of retail, commercial and residential uses.

Directors ' Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Review of Operations (Cont.)

Property Backed Lending:

Total contribution to profit before tax was $5.8 million (2018: $8.4 million). Although the net loan portfolio at the end of the financial year has increased to $41.3 million (2018: $31.0 million) returns have been impacted yearon-year by impairment charges of $1.0 million during the current financial year compared to impairment recoveries of $2.2 million in 2018.

Funds Management:

The contribution to comprehensive income of this segment was $1.5 million (2018: $1.6 million). In joint venture with Evans Dixon Limited (ASX: ED1), CVC established and raised $45 million in the CVC Emerging Companies Fund, a wholesale unit trust which will invest in unlisted and listed emerging companies. In addition to both Australian Invoice Finance Limited and Bigstone Capital Pty Limited continuing to grow their loan portfolio and investors, Causeway Income Partners Limited, a joint venture with Causeway Financial Pty Limited, commenced the raising of a $75 million wholesale corporate debt fund.

Commercial Debt and Alternative Assets:

Total contribution to profit before tax was $0.3 million (2018: $1.2 million). The current loan portfolio at the end of the financial year is $9.9 million (2018: $10.8 million) returns have been impacted by impairment charges of $1.8 million.

Listed Investments:

CVC’s active listed investment management strategy contributed a loss to comprehensive income of $5.7 million (2018: profit of $13.7 million). The results include losses from trading and share price reductions of $7.5 million (2018: profit of $10.8 million) distributions received of $1.8 million (2018: $2.9 million).

Private Equity:

The total loss to comprehensive income was $1.7 million (2018: profit of $1.6 million) including the results of equity accounted investments. The loss was mainly attributed to the revaluation of a number of smaller equity holdings in investments to reflect recent capital raising prices.

Following a review of the carrying value of the listed and private equity portfolio, a decision was made to rebalance the investment portfolio to a more concentrated investment strategy, including holding a smaller, concentrated high conviction equities portfolio, growing the loan portfolio, while continuing to focus on the existing successful direct property investment strategy.

State of Affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company that occurred during the year not otherwise disclosed in this report or the financial statements.

Likely Developments

As explained in previous reports, the total level of profit for any period, notwithstanding the recurrent earnings, is largely determined by the timing of the realisation of investments that result in capital gains. The Company believes the strong financial position and continual evaluation of investment opportunities by its management team will enable the identification and execution of suitable investment opportunities during the course of the coming year.

Environmental Regulation

CVC’s operations are not subject to environmental regulations.

Events Subsequent to Balance Date

On 8 August 2019, CVC acquired 60% of Eildon Funds Management Limited for a consideration of $3.6 million at which time it became a 100% subsidiary of CVC.

A final fully franked dividend in respect of the year ended 30 June 2019 of 8 cents per share was declared on 1 August 2019 and paid on 20 August 2019 to those shareholders registered on 6 August 2019.

Other than as set out above, there are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of CVC, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of CVC in future financial years.

Share Options

There were no options issued by the Company during the year or to the date of this report.

Indemnification and Insurance of Officers and Auditors

a) Indemnification

During and since the end of the financial period CVC has provided an indemnity and entered into an agreement to indemnify Directors and Company Secretaries for liabilities that may arise from their position, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith.

b) Insurance Premiums

CVC has not, during the year or since the end of the financial year, paid or agreed to pay a premium for insuring any person who is or has been an auditor of the Company or a related body corporate for the costs or expenses of defending legal proceedings.

The Company has paid insurance premiums in respect of Directors’ and Officers’ liability and legal expense insurance for Directors and Officers of the Company.

In accordance with s. 300(9) of the Corporations Act 2001 further details have not been disclosed due to confidentiality provisions contained in the insurance contract.

Directors ' Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for key management personnel of the Company and its 100% owned entities in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations. This information has been audited as required by s. 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 . The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of CVC.

Remuneration Philosophy

The performance of CVC depends upon its ability to attract and retain quality people. CVC is committed to developing a remuneration philosophy of paying sufficient competitive ‘base’ rewards to attract and retain high calibre management personnel and providing the opportunity to receive superior remuneration tied directly to the creation of value for shareholders.

Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and remuneration for all other key management personnel is separate and distinct.

Non-Executive Director’s remuneration is solely in the form of fees and has been set by shareholders at a maximum aggregate amount of $400,000, to be allocated amongst the Directors as they see fit. It has been set to balance the need to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre at a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

Key management personnel remuneration consists of: base salary, fees, superannuation contributions, short term performance discretionary bonuses and participation in the CVC Executive Long Term Incentive Plan and Employee Share Option Plan.

The Company does not have a remuneration committee. The remuneration of the Managing Director is determined following discussion with the Non-Executive Directors. The remuneration of key management personnel other than the Managing Director are determined following discussion with the Board of CVC.

Short term discretionary performance bonuses permit CVC to reward individuals for superior personal performance or contribution towards components of CVC’s performance for which they have direct responsibility and are determined at the end of the financial year.

Employee Share Option Plan

The objective of the Employee Share Option Plan is to align the interests of CVC’s Directors and senior management with those of shareholders by providing the ability for employees to participate in the increase in the share price of CVC. This also provides a mechanism to retain key

employees over the longer term to deliver on CVC’s strategic direction. In general terms, under the plan:

  • Each option issued entitles an eligible employee to receive one ordinary share in the company; and

  • The terms of the issue of options to eligible employees is at the discretion of the Directors, including the number of options issued, the exercise price, terms and vesting conditions.

No options have been issued under the Employee Share Option Plan. Although approval was obtained from shareholders to issue options to Messrs Read, Beard and Campbell on 28 November 2018 these have not been issued.

CVC Executive Long Term Incentive Plan

The objectives of the CVC Executive Long Term Incentive Plan are to directly align the opportunity to achieve superior employment rewards with the wealth generated for shareholders whilst providing a mechanism to retain key employees over the longer term. In general terms, under the plan:

  • key employees are invited by the Directors to acquire shares in the Company subject to certain conditions;

  • the conditions specify performance hurdles and time periods in which they are required to be achieved;

  • all shares issued under the plan cover a three year period and require that the total return to shareholders over the three year period exceeds the rate of growth over the same period for the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index;

  • shares are issued at market value and the Company provides a loan to the participant to cover the cost of the shares;

  • interest is charged on the loan equivalent to dividends paid on the shares;

  • the shares are restricted and cannot be dealt with by the participant during the period;

  • shares are forfeited and the loans are cancelled if the performance hurdles have not been met or the share price at the end of the period is below the issue price;

  • if shares are not forfeited, at the end of the period the participant is required to repay the loan, the restrictions on the shares are removed and the shares are taken out of the plan; and

  • a maximum of 5 million shares can be issued under the plan.

There are currently no shares issued under the CVC Executive Long Term Incentive Plan.

Executive Contractual Arrangements

It is CVC’s policy that service contracts for key management personnel are unlimited in term but capable of termination as per the relevant period of notice and that CVC retains the right to terminate the contract immediately, by making payment that is commensurate with pay in lieu of notice.

The service contract outlines the components of remuneration paid to the key management person but does not prescribe how remuneration levels are modified year to year. Remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into account any change in the scope of the role performed by the key management personnel and any changes required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy.

The key employment terms of Mr Mark Avery are as follows:

  • Base Salary of $375,000 per annum;

  • Termination of employment by providing six month’s notice, unless it is due to serious misconduct, which requires no notice;

  • Any unvested short and long term incentives are forfeited;

  • Six months restriction from solicitation of staff and clients.

Note 1: Statement of Accounting Policies The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this Financial Report are:

1.1 Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and investment properties which have been measured at fair value.

These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in CVC and, are consistent with those of the previous year, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out in note 35. Management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in relation to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, that have significant risk of material adjustments in the next year and these have been disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying CVC’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 34.

1.2 Statement of Compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include the Australian Accounting Interpretations. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

CVC has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2018. The impact of the adoption of the standard and the new accounting policy are disclosed in note 35.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2019 reporting period:

(i) AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases was released in February 2016 and is mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model that will require a lessee to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at their cost and lease liabilities are initially measured on a present value basis. Subsequent to initial recognition:

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Note 1: Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont.)

1.2 Statement of Compliance (Cont.)

(i) AASB 16 Leases (Cont.)

  • Right-of-use assets are accounted for on a similar basis to non-financial assets, whereby the right-of-use asset is accounted for in accordance with a cost model unless the underlying asset is accounted for on a revaluation basis; and

  • Lease liabilities are accounted for on a similar basis as other financial liabilities, whereby interest expense is recognised in respect of the liability and the carrying amount of the liability is reduced to reflect lease payments made.

The standard will affect primarily the accounting for CVC’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, CVC has noncancellable operating lease commitments of $3,056,925, see note 28.1. As at 30 June 2019 if AASB 16 Leases was adopted the disclosure would be as follows:

the disclosure would be as follows:
Right of use assets $2,694,775
Lease liability
Current
Non-current
$597,292
$2,097,483
Over the life of the right of use asset
the following amounts would be recognised
in the statement of financial performance:
Interest expense
Amortisation charge
$362,150
$2,694,775
Total $3,056,925

1.3 Principles of Consolidation

Controlled entities

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of CVC Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries during the year ended 30 June 2019 (“CVC”). The financial statements of controlled entities are included in the results only from the date control commences until the date control ceases and include those entities over which CVC has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions have been eliminated in full and the reporting period and accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with those of the parent entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting which allocates the

cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

Non-controlling interests not held by CVC are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from parent shareholders’ equity. Increases in investments in existing controlled entities are recognised by CVC in equity with no impact on goodwill and the statement of financial performance. The difference between the consideration paid by CVC and the carrying amount of non-controlling interest has been included in asset revaluation reserve.

Associates

Associates are those entities, other than partnerships, over which CVC exercises significant influence but not control. In the consolidated financial statements investments in associates are accounted for using equity accounting principles. The equity accounted investments are not recorded at a value in excess of CVC’s share of the associates net assets at the date significant influence commences, with the exception of CVC’s share of the associates future profits. Investments in associates are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. CVC’s equity accounted share of the associates' net profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date significant influence commences until the date significant influence ceases. CVC’s equity accounted share of movements in retained profits from changes in accounting policies by associates is recognised directly in consolidated retained earnings. CVC’s equity accounted share of other movements in reserves of associates is recognised directly in consolidated reserves.

Parent entity information

The financial information of the Company is disclosed in note 3 and has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements with the exception of investments in associates and controlled entities which are accounted for as “fair value through profit or loss” investments.

Joint ventures

CVC’s interests in joint venture partnerships are accounted for using equity accounting principles. Investments in joint venture partnerships are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. CVC's equity accounted share of the joint venture partnerships’ net profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date joint control commences to the date joint control ceases. CVC’s share of other movements in reserves is recognised directly in consolidated reserves.

CVC LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Note 1: Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont.)

1.3 Principles of Consolidation (Cont.)

Goodwill

Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life and represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired at the time of acquisition of a business or shares in a controlled entity. Following initial recognition goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised.

1.4 Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.

1.5 Impairment

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.

1.6 Investments

Set-off of financial assets and liabilities

For investments with direct associated debt, the financial assets and liabilities are reflected on a net basis where this reflects a right, and an intention, to set-off the expected future cash flows from settling those assets and liabilities.

1.7 Income Tax and Other Taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities on the current period’s taxable income at the tax rates enacted by the reporting date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits can be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit.

Tax consolidation legislation

The controlled entities of the Company implemented the tax consolidation legislation as at 30 June 2003. The entities in the consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. CVC has applied the “stand-alone taxpayer” approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to be allocated to members of the tax consolidated group. The Company recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. To the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income

Note 1: Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont.)

1.7 Income Tax and Other Taxes (Cont.)

tax asset to be utilised the Company recognises the deferred tax assets from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST), except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

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

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

1.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

1.9 Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to CVC prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when CVC becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on average between 30 - 45 day terms.

1.10 Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables, which generally have 30 - 120 day terms, are stated at their amortised cost less any allowance for expected credit losses. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for expected credit losses is recognised when there is objective evidence that CVC will not be able to collect the receivable.

1.11 Contract Assets and Contract Labilities

A contract asset is the entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has

transferred to the customer. A contract asset becomes a receivable when the entity’s right to consideration is unconditional, which is the case when only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due. A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Individual contract asset that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for expected credit losses is recognised when there is objective evidence that CVC will not be able to collect the receivable.

1.12 Property, Plant and Equipment

Acquisition

Items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated as outlined below.

Investment properties

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflect market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in the statement of financial performance in the year in which they arise.

Leased property, plant and equipment

Lease of plant and equipment under which the Company or its controlled entities assume substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments are recorded at the inception of the lease. Lease liabilities are reduced by repayments of principal. The interest components of the lease payments are charged to the profit or loss. Contingent rentals are expensed as incurred.

Payments made under operating leases are charged against profits in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property.

Depreciation and amortisation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated/amortised using the straight line and diminishing value methods over the estimated useful lives, with the exception of finance lease assets. Finance lease assets are amortised over the term of the relevant lease, or where it is likely CVC will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset. Depreciation and amortisation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. When changes are made, adjustments are reflected prospectively in current and future periods only.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Note 1: Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont.)

1.12 Property, Plant and Equipment (Cont.)

Depreciation and amortisation (Cont.)

The current depreciation rates for each class of assets are as follows:


are as follows:
Plant and equipment 5% to 50%
Leased assets 15% to 25%
Leasehold improvements 2.5% to 30%

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amounts being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

1.13 Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the average cost method and includes direct and allocated costs incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their present location and condition. Cost is assigned by specific identification and includes the cost of acquisition and development costs during development. Provision is recognised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to sell the inventory at normal reseller pricing. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.14 Investments and Other Financial Assets

(a) Classification

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments are classified in the following measurement categories:

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

  • those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in financial performance or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Debt investments are reclassified when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

(b) Measurement

At initial recognition, a financial asset is measured at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets at amortised cost are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in financial performance and presented in other gains/ (losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of financial performance.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

  • Debt instruments: Assets held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in financial performance. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to financial performance and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of financial performance.

  • Equity instruments: Where the group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to financial performance following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in financial performance as other income when the group’s right to receive payments is established. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/ (losses) in the statement of financial performance as applicable.

1.14 Investments and Other Financial Assets (Cont.)

(c) Impairment

The expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI is assessed on a forward looking basis. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

that have been done. This involves reporting revenue, expenses and profit attributable to the proportion of work completed. Where revenues are associated with uncertain project expenditure, including rental guarantees and lease incentive payments, the revenue is not recognised in the profit or loss until it is highly probable that there will be no reversal or adjustment in the future.

A receivable is also recognised by reference to the progress certificate issued by the project manager as this is the point in time that consideration is unconditional.

1.15 Intangible Assets

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Other intangible Assets

Other intangible assets are initially recorded at cost. Following initial recognition, other intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

1.16 Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs consists of interest and other costs relating to the financing of the acquisition of investment properties, and are expensed in the period they occur.

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity, net of income tax effects.

1.17 Revenue and Revenue Recognition

CVC has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018 which replaces AASB 118 Revenue , AASB 111 Construction Contracts and several revenue related Interpretations. Refer to Note 35.

The following specific recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised:

Contract Revenue

CVC develops commercial properties. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised by using the output method by reference to a progress certificate issued by the project manager. The progress certificate issued by the project manager represents the current state of completion and is a reliable estimate of the works

Sale of land

CVC develops and sells residential properties and commercial land. Revenue is recognised when control of the property has transferred to the customer. The revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. The properties have generally no alternative use for CVC due to contractual restrictions. However, an enforceable right to payment does not arise until legal title has passed to the customer. Therefore, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the legal title has passed to the customer. The consideration is due when legal title has been transferred.

Interest income

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Sale of non-current assets

The gain or loss on sale of non-current asset sales is included as income at the date control of the asset passes to the buyer, when a contract of sale becomes unconditional.

The gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal.

Where an equity investment in a controlled entity is reduced and the entity ceases to be controlled, revenue from either the sale of goods or services from that investment ceases to be included in the statement of comprehensive income.

Fee income

CVC provides services to parties which is measured at the amount in accordance with the agreement. Revenue is recognised in the accounting period which the services provided are matched with the use of the benefits by the client. A receivable is recognised at the same time as this is the point in time that consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Note 1: Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont.)

1.17 Revenue and Revenue Recognition (Cont.)

Financing components

CVC does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, CVC does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

1.21 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

1.22 Comparative Figures

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

Dividends

Revenue from dividends and other distributions from controlled entities are recognised by the parent entity when they are declared by the controlled entities.

Revenue from dividends from associates is recognised by the Company when dividends are received. Revenue from dividends from other investments is recognised when received. Dividends received out of pre-acquisition reserves are recognised in revenue and the investment is also assessed for impairment.

1.23 Segment Reporting

A business segment is a distinguishable component of the entity that is engaged in providing differentiated products or services.

Rental income

Rental revenue from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Outgoings recovered

Outgoings recovered in relation to operating leases are recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

1.18 Employee Entitlements

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled including “on-costs”.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is 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 reporting date.

1.19 Contributed Equity

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

1.20 Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

6.6 Tax Consolidation

The controlled entities of the Company implemented the tax consolidation legislation as at 30 June 2003. Members of the group have entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities to subsidiaries in the event the tax liability is not paid.

The entities in the consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The members of the tax consolidated group has applied the “stand-alone taxpayer” approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to be allocated to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. To the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised the Company recognises the deferred tax assets from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. Under the funding agreement the allocation of tax within the group is calculated as if each entity was an individual entity for tax purposes. Unless agreed between the members the tax funding agreement requires payment as a result of the transfer of tax amounts.

When an entity does not pay a scheduled payment of principal and interest or management consider that there has been an adverse change in the underlying value of assets securing the loan a review is conducted to determine if the loan is considered to be impaired. Impairment of loans to related entities and other corporations has been determined after reviewing the underlying assets supporting the loans and the history of making payments to reduce both the principle and interest outstanding.

Measurement of construction contract revenue and expense

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised using the output method by reference to a progress certificate issued by the project manager. The progress certificate issued by the project manager represents the current state of completion and is a reliable estimate of the works that have been done. This involves reporting revenue, expenses and profit attributable to the proportion of work completed. Where revenues are associated with uncertain project expenditure, including rental guarantees and lease incentive payments, the revenue is not recognised in the profit or loss until it is highly probable that there will be no reversal or adjustment in the future.

Where the contract term is for periods of one year or less, as permitted under AASB 15, the transaction price allocated to these unsatisfied contracts is not disclosed.

Significant share holdings are held in Cyclopharm Limited, Heritage Brands Ltd, IDT Australia Limited, Indoor Skydive Australia Group Limited, Lantern Hotel Group, Longtable Group Ltd, Mitchell Services Limited, Prime Media Group Limited, Probiotec Limited, Tasfoods Limited, Universal Biosensors Inc. and Vita Life Sciences Limited. The number of shares held is greater than what would reasonably be considered to be liquid.

Management have reviewed the recoverable amount of investments to determine whether an impairment is required. The amount of any impairment has been determined after consideration of the recoverable amount of the investments, being a recent share price where an active market exists, or alternative valuation methodologies from a review of the operations and assets of the company where an active market does not exist. Management assesses the results to determine the most appropriate valuation. Refer to note 34.5, 34.6 and 34.7.

The Company issued 600,000 convertible notes for $60 million on 22 June 2018. The coupon rate for the note is 3.75% plus the 90 day Bank Bill Swap Rate. The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, at the option of the holder, or repayable on 22 June 2023. The conversion price is $3.40 per ordinary share but subject to adjustments for reconstructions of equity. The convertible notes are presented in the Statement of Financial Position as follows:

Non-current liability 56,053,518 55,236,987
Accrued interest expense (b) 24,415 86,822

(a) Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 7.16% to the liability component adjusted for actual interest paid/payable.

(b) Interest accrued as at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 were included in other payables. Refer to note 19.

The initial fair value of the liability portion of the bond was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent nonconvertible bond at the issue date. The liability is subsequently recognised on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is regarded as the value of the conversion rights and is recognised in shareholders’ equity, net of income tax.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Note 31: Additional Financial Instruments Disclosure

CVC’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including market price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. CVC’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group.

CVC uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and price risk.

The responsibility for operational risk management resides with the Board of Directors who seeks to manage the exposure of CVC. There have been no significant changes in the types of financial risks, or CVC’s risk management program (including methods used to measure the risks) since the prior year.

31.1 Interest Rate Risk

CVC’s exposure to interest rate risks of financial assets and liabilities both recognised and unrecognised at the reporting date are as follows:

Interest bearing liabilities 21 71,750,736 - 9,677,586 - 81,428,322

CVC holds a significant amount of cash balances which are exposed to movements in interest rates. To reduce the risk CVC typically deposits uncommitted cash in high interest rate accounts with financial institutions. Interest bearing loans and receivables are made at fixed rates. CVC is not charged interest on outstanding trade and other payable balances. CVC enters into loans and borrowings with fixed rates of interest when it is considered commercial and necessary to manage cash flows.

31.1 Interest Rate Risk (Cont.)

Sensitivity

As CVC expects interest rates to decrease by 50 basis points during the 2020 financial year (2019: 50 basis points higher), at reporting date the impact for the 2018 financial year on CVC, with all other variables held constant, would be:

Decrease of 50 bp Increase of 50 bp

31.2 Price Risk

Equity Securities Price Risk

CVC has investments in listed securities which could be adversely affected if general equity market values were to decline. CVC also has investments in unlisted securities however these are less susceptible to movements in value as a result of market sentiment as they are valued based on operational fundamentals. CVC does not hedge its exposure to the risk of a general decline in equity market values, believing that such strategies are not cost-effective.

Sensitivity

At reporting date, if equity prices had been 10% higher/(lower) while all other variables were held constant the impact would be:

31.3 Credit Risk Exposure

Credit risk refers to the loss that CVC would incur if a debtor or counterparty fails to perform under its obligations. The carrying amounts of financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position best represent CVC’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date. CVC seeks to limit its exposure to credit risk by performing appropriate background investigations on counterparties before entering into arrangements with them and to seek collateral with a value in excess of the counterparty’s obligations to CVC, providing a “margin of safety” against loss.

CVC’s significant concentration of credit risk relates to deposits held with financial institutions, which is mitigated by the requirement that deposits are only held with institutions with an “investment grade” credit rating, and loans made to various entities, which are mitigated by collateral held with a value in excess of the counterparty’s obligations to CVC, providing a “margin of safety” against loss.

CVC minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions with a number of counterparties, and is managed through normal payment terms of 30 days.

31.4 Liquidity Risk

CVC manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances and holding liquid investments that could be realised to meet commitments. CVC continuously monitors forecast and actual cash flows and matches the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The following table details CVC’s contractual liabilities.

31.5 Currency Risk

Currency risk is measured using sensitivity analysis. A portion of CVC investments are in companies listed on foreign exchanges and sales and purchases are made in foreign currencies. CVC is exposed to a decline in the values of those currencies relative to the Australian dollar.

Considering the quantum of the investments in absolute terms as well as relative terms compared to CVC’s total investment portfolio it is not cost-effective to hedge against foreign exchange fluctuations.

At balance date CVC had the following exposure to the United States dollar, New Zealand dollar and British pound that is not designated as cashflow hedges:

2019 2018

Financial assets
Financial assets at amortised cost 3,339,171 3,117,171
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 4,632,763 3,810,139
7,971,934 6,927,310

Foreign currency sensitivity

CVC is exposed to the US dollar (USD), New Zealand dollar (NZD) and British pound (GBP). The following table details CVC’s sensitivity to a 10% change in the Australian dollar against the respective currencies with all other variables held constant as at reporting date for unhedged foreign exchange exposure. A positive number indicates an increase in net profit/equity.

A sensitivity of 10% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of exchange rates and the volatility observed on a historic basis and market expectations for future movement.

Note 32: Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities of CVC are approximately equal to their carrying values. No financial assets or financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

Judgements and estimates were made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments and non-financial assets that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, CVC has classified its financial instruments and non-financial assets into three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.

Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the assets and liabilities as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised in the table below.

Assets classified as held for sale

Subsequent to year end CVC completed the settlement of the sale of the property at Port Macquarie on 7 August 2018, New South Wales, forming part of the project delivery agreement for the construction of the Bunnings and associated bulky goods centre. As such the property was reclassified from investment properties to assets classified as held for sale.

Investments accounted for using the equity method

The capital cost of certain investments were reclassified from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss to investments accounted for using the equity method following an increase of ownership.

The fair value of Level 2 financial instruments is determined using available prices where trading does not occur in an inactive market. The quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements are as follows:

Fair value
30 Jun 2019 30 Jun 2018 Unobservable Weighted average Relationship of unobservable
Description $ $ inputs 2019 2018 inputs to fair value
Leased properties 2,400,000 1,350,000 Capitalisation rate 9.17% 10.16% The higher the capitalisation rate,
the lower the fair value
Lease expiry 4.34 years 0.33 years The longer the lease term, the
higher the fair value
Occupancy 100% 100% The higher the occupancy rate,
the higher the fair value
2,400,000 1,350,000
Other investments 12,410,811 18,252,318 (a)

(a) There is no quantitative information. Fair value has been determined by using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; net asset backing; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same and discounted cash flow analysis.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Note 33: Events Subsequent to Year End

On 8 August 2019, CVC acquired 60% of Eildon Funds Management Limited for a consideration of $3.6 million at which time it became a 100% subsidiary of CVC.

A final fully franked dividend in respect of the year ended 30 June 2019 of 8 cents per share was declared on 1 August 2019 to be paid on 20 August 2019 to those shareholders registered on 6 August 2019.

Other than as set out above, there are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of CVC, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of CVC in future financial years.

size; and the market capitalisation is small such that larger institutions do not hold significant shareholdings. However, the active market in small amounts of trading does provide a guide for valuation in that it indicates whether or not the market values the intangible assets of an entity. This factor has been used in determining the valuation of each company. The fair value of the investments has been assessed in note 10 and 12.

34.6 Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method – Unlisted Investments

The carrying value of the following investments have been valued based on the net asset backing methodology, using the most recent reports provided by the entity:

  • 79 Logan Road Trust as $2,893,049 (2018: $3,027,222);

Note 34: Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

CVC makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

34.1 Loans to Associated Entities

Impairment of $1,180,072 (2018: nil) has been raised against loans to associated entities that have a carrying value of $17,058,315 (2018: $20,476,814). The recoverable amount has been assessed in note 9.

34.2 Trade Receivables

The recoverable value of trade receivables has been assessed in note 9.

34.3 Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

The fair value of the investments has been assessed in note 12.

34.4 Inventories

The fair value of the inventories has been assessed in note 13.

34.5 Absence of Active Market

In calculating the fair value of Cyclopharm Limited, Eildon Capital Limited, Heritage Brands Limited, IDT Australia Limited, Indoor Skydive Australia Group Limited, Lantern Hotel Group, Longtable Group Limited, Mitchell Services Limited, Prime Media Group Limited, Probiotec Limited, Tasfoods Limited, Universal Biosensors Inc., US Residential Fund and Vita Life Sciences Limited CVC has determined that an active market may not exist for significant holdings because each company does not trade on a daily basis; each trade that is executed, excluding those by CVC, is small in

  • Australian Invoice Finance Limited as $2,158,649 (2018: $2,283,650);

  • Bigstone Capital Pty Limited as $1,843,506 (2018: $1,064,648);

  • CVC Emerging Companies Fund as $3,333,334 (2018: nil);

  • Eildon Funds Management Limited as $460,548 (2018: $189,109);

  • JAK Contributory Mortgage Fund Loan Trust No 3 as $2,770,833 (2018: nil);

  • JAK Investment Group Pty Limited as $227,037 (2018: $317,513);

  • Lewcorp Properties Pty Limited as $818,853 (2018: nil);

  • MAKE EBRB Dev Nominee Pty Ltd as $7,821,157 (2018: $2,852,327);

  • Mooloolaba Wharf Holding Company Pty Limited as $3,534,578 (2018: $50); and

  • Turrella Property Unit Trust as $267,727 (2018: $247,749).

The carrying value of Donnybrook JV Pty Limited has been calculated as $3,403,464 (2018: $3,178,478) based on the net asset backing methodology, using the most recent reports provided by the entity. A valuation of the property of $79.95 million results in the value of CVC’s investment as $31.6 million.

The carrying value of Eildon Funds Management Limited has been calculated as $460,548 (2018: $189,109) based on the net asset backing methodology, using the most recent reports provided by the entity. Subsequent to year end an independent valuation was completed that provided a value of CVC’s investment as $1,440,000.

During the financial year, LAC Unit Trust becomes a control entity of CVC. The carrying value of the investment for the year ended 30 June 2018 was based on the net asset backing methodology, using the most recent report provided by the entity, resulting in a value $688,928.

Note 34: Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont.)

34.7 Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method – Listed Investments

The carrying value of Eildon Capital Limited (“EDC”) has been calculated at $18,709,047 (2018: $18,536,741). It has been determined by using the fair value approach. The closing “bid-price” of EDC on 30 June 2019 was $1.01 per share which was determined to be an appropriate indication for the fair value of the investment, despite the lack of an active market.

The carrying value of US Residential Fund (“USR”) has been calculated at $70,901 (2018: nil). It has been determined by using the fair value approach. The last transaction of USR was $0.31 per share on 27 March 2019. USR has completed a capital return of $0.30 per share since that date. Based on this, $0.01 per share was determined to be an appropriate indication for the fair value of the investment, despite the lack of an active market.

34.8 Property, Plant and Equipment

The recoverable value of property, plant and equipment have been assessed in note 16.

34.9 Investment properties

The recoverable value of investment properties has been assessed in note 17.

model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.

CVC’s revenue includes interest revenue, dividend income and investment gains which are specifically excluded from the scope of AASB 15 and are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. Other revenues are set out in Note 1.17.

CVC has also voluntarily changed the presentation of the statement of financial position to reflect the terminology of AASB 15. Contract assets in relation to construction contracts were previously presented as part of Financial assets at amortised cost. An amount of $743,050 has been reclassified to Contract Assets as at 30 June 2018.

The adoption of AASB 15 has not had a material impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. No adjustment has been recognised to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 2018 as a result of the adoption of AASB 15 and consequently no further disclosures have been included in this financial report.

34.10 Loans to Other Corporations

An impairment has been raised against certain loans to other corporations of $1,783,456 (2018: $179,904) that have a carrying value of $30,610,390 (2018: $34,311,692). The recoverable amount has been assessed in note 9.

34.11 Other Assets

The recoverable value of other non-current assets, which include non-refundable call options for the purchase of property, have been calculated with reference to costs incurred and consideration of the underlying potential property values. Refer to note 14 for further details.

Note 35: Changes in Accounting Policies

CVC has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018 which replaces AASB 118 Revenue , AASB 111 C onstruction Contracts and several revenue related Interpretations. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition

CVC LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Independent Auditors' Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

To the Members of CVC Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of CVC Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of financial performance, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a statement of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (b) 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 and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“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 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 of 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 Existence and Valuation of Loans Receivable (Note 9)

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

The consolidated entity had a significant balance of loans receivable as at 30 June 2019.

A large portion of the loans have been provided to property developers with properties provided as security for the loans.

We have therefore identified loans receivable as an area requiring particular audit attention.

We reviewed loan agreements and other supporting documentation.

We obtained management’s workings and assessed the reasonableness of recoverability assessments, including where relevant, the prospect of recovering the loan within the next 12 months.

We reviewed security of loans and assessed for reasonableness.

We obtained loan confirmation from third parties.

Valuation of Unlisted investments (Note 12)

The consolidated entity holds interests in unlisted investments, held at fair value.

The value of these investments are subject to a high degree of judgement. Therefore it is considered to be a key audit area.

We reviewed management’s valuation methodology, including impairment assessment, with reference to recent financial statements, forecasts/budgets, future income of the investee and/or marketability of the investment.

Key Audit Matters (Cont.)

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of Investment Properties (including those classified as Inventories) (Note 13 and 17)

The carrying value of the investment properties has been assessed with reference to future cash flows.

As future cash flows are typically based on a number of variables, the valuation and allocation of investment properties is considered to be a key audit area.

We reviewed management’s assessment of value with reference to external valuations and other supporting documentation. We assessed the competence, independence and integrity of the external expert appointed by management.

We reviewed the treatment of revaluation movements for compliance with the Australian Accounting Standards.

We have assessed the adequacy of the disclosures within the financial statements as at 30 June 2019.

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do 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 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, 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.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company 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 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 to cease operations, or have 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 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 internal control.

CVC LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Independent Auditors' Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

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

  • 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 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 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.

Responsibilities

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

HLB Mann Judd N J Guest Chartered Accountants Partner

Sydney, NSW

30 August 2019

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, related safeguards.

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.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2019.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of CVC Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

2019 ANNUAL REPORT 85

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the corporate governance of CVC. It is required to act with integrity, honesty, in good faith and in the best interest of the Company as a whole in the execution of its duties including setting, guiding and monitoring the business and affairs of the Company, including risk management, and compliance with regulatory, legal and ethical standards. The Board is responsible for the oversight of reporting to the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. It is responsible for ensuring there is adequate oversight and management of material business risks facing the Company and ensuring there are systems in place to identify, assess, monitor and manage market, operational and compliance risks. This is achieved via a control environment, accountability and review of risk profiles.

The Board has delegated to the Managing Director all of the necessary power and authority to manage the business of the Company on a day-to-day basis with the assistance of senior management. This includes execution of the strategy approved by the Board, managing performance, risk management and compliance of the Company. The Company has implemented a risk management framework which describes and sets out the risks (financial and nonfinancial) facing the business activities of the Company and controls surrounding those risks. The profiles are formally reviewed annually by management. The financial risks that may adversely impact the operations of the Company are described and analysed in the annual financial report.

As at 30 June 2019 the Directors in office are as follows:

Alexander Damien Beard

Appointed 17 August 2000 (resigned 1 August 2019)

John Douglas Read

Appointed 20 March 1989, member of the audit committee

John Scott Leaver Appointed 8 April 2019

Ian Houston Campbell

Appointed 16 March 2015, member of the audit committee

Appointment to the Company and the Board is dependent on skills, experience, character and other qualifications rather than solely on achieving a pre-specified diversity target. The Board seeks to ensure its members have an appropriate mix of skills, knowledge and experience to enable it to properly perform its duties, which have been detailed in the Directors’ Report, including numbers and attendances of Board and audit committee meetings.

Given the size and scale of the organisation the Board has not adopted a policy and measurable targets in relation to diversity but notes that the Board does not have any women appointed, although CVC has two women appointed in senior management roles, and currently represent 29% of employees of the Company.

The Board considers that CVC seeks to comply, where appropriate, with the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations issued by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. Where CVC does not comply, this is primarily due to the current size, scale and nature of the operations. The Council recognises that “a one size fits all” approach may be inappropriate. Companies are at liberty to determine whether each recommendation is appropriate. Different companies face different circumstances hence some recommendations are unnecessary or may even be counter-productive. In particular it acknowledged that it may be inappropriate or uneconomic for smaller companies, such as CVC, to follow the same rules as Australia’s largest listed companies. The Council has issued recommendations and require companies to adopt an ‘if not why not’ approach to reporting compliance, requiring companies to identify the recommendations that have not been followed and give reasons for not following them.

The Company chose to adopt selected recommendations throughout the financial year ended 30 June 2019, in particular those discussed in detail below:

Board Composition and Directors’ Experience

The Board of the Company currently comprises five Directors.

The Managing Director, is responsible for the management and operation of the Company and ensures that members of the Board are properly briefed on the operations of the Company. Those powers not specifically reserved to the Board and which are required for the management and operation of the Company, are conferred on the Managing Director.

Mr Read is a non-executive Chairman of the Board and a member of the audit committee. As he has been on the Board of the Company for more than twenty five years, he is not considered independent. Further information in relation to the audit committee can be found in the Directors’ Report to the financial report.

Mr Campbell is an independent non-executive Director and Chairman of the audit committee and has extensive skills, experience and knowledge to perform his duties in that capacity.

86

CVC LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Corporate Governance Statement

Mr Leaver is an executive director of the Board and has significant experience in equities.

Mr Rapajic-Leaver is a non-executive Director and has significant experience in property investing.

The Board elects a member to chair each meeting and believe that the current structure of the Board operates effectively and efficiently, allowing the Board to collectively exercise its authority without the need for the appointment of additional independent directors or the creation of further sub-committees and is appropriate for the size and scale of the Company. The Board as a whole reviews Board succession planning and continuing development to ensure the members have an appropriate balance of skills. Directors are encouraged to undertake professional development to enable them to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to effectively perform their roles as Directors, where considered appropriate for the oversight of the Company.

The Company Secretary supports the effectiveness of the Board by monitoring that Board policy and procedures are followed and deals with regulatory bodies on statutory matters.

For these reasons, the Company did not adopt the following recommendations throughout the financial year ended 30 June 2019:

  • Appointing a majority of independent Directors;

  • Appointing an independent Chairman;

  • Appointing an internal audit function, audit committee with an independent chairman, a majority of independent Directors or non-executive Directors;

  • A nomination committee of the Board;

  • A risk committee of the Board;

  • Establishment of formal performance policies for Directors and senior management;

  • Documentation of a Board skills matrix;

  • Implementing a program for inducting new Directors;

  • Implementing policies and processes for communication with shareholders and participation at meetings;

  • A remuneration committee of the Board;

  • Written agreement with directors and senior executives setting out terms of roles; and

  • Adopting a policy and measurable targets to achieve gender diversity.

Performance of the Board and Senior Management

The Directors and senior management are regularly reviewed for measureable and qualitative performance. The Board as a whole has the responsibility to review its own performance and of individual directors. The Board undertakes an annual review at 30 June each year of the Managing Director and senior management.

The Board did not undertake a review of the performance of its members during the year ended 30 June 2019. Rather, the Board, mindful of its duties, considers it appropriate to monitor the performance on an ongoing basis and conduct a formal review as necessary.

When applicable, remuneration of non-executive Directors is in accordance with resolutions of shareholders at the general meeting. The Company does not have any schemes for retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation for non-executive Directors.

The details of remuneration paid to Directors and senior management are disclosed in the Remuneration Report.

Costs and Benefits of Compliance

A number of the recommendations require the formal documentation of policies and procedures that the Company already substantially performs. The Company considered that to create such documentation independently and specifically for the Company, and create separate Boards and sub-committees to satisfy the requirements of the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations would have had minimal additional benefit but substantial additional expense. The Company is also mindful to not adopt such procedures and structures solely for the sake of adoption or where they could actually inhibit the proper function or development of the Company.

The Board has determined that the adoption of such formal policies and procedures must be tailored to the Company at minimal expense and must be appropriate for the Company, taking into account the size and complexity of its operations. The Company is currently considering the adoption and implementation of the following recommendations:

  • A formal charter for the audit committee of the Company;

  • Written policies and procedures to ensure compliance with ASX listing rules disclosure requirements; and

  • A process for performance evaluation of the Board and individual Directors.

Corporate Governance Statement

Other Information

The Company has a policy of allowing Directors to take reasonable independent legal advice in the furtherance of their duties at the expense of the Company.

The audit committee comprises three members of the Board, with an independent Director elected as the chairman this is not the same as the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

In respect of the year ended 30 June 2019, the Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer have provided certifications to the Board that the financial records of the Company have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Company and has a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.

The Company has adopted policies in relation to conduct of Directors, senior management and employees of the Company. The policies require Directors, senior management and employees to act ethically, responsibly, honestly, in good faith, and in the best interest of the Company as a whole, whilst complying with laws and regulations.

The Company has adopted a Share Trading Policy, which must be complied with by all directors and employees. The policy summarises the insider trading prohibitions in the Corporations Act 2001 and provides information on trading windows, exceptional circumstances, excluded trading, and an obligation on directors and employees to disclose all trades in the Company’s shares.

The Company’s external auditor attends the annual general meeting and is available to answer questions from the shareholders relevant to the audit.

In accordance with the ASX Continuous Disclosure requirements, the Company ensures that price sensitive information is released to the market on a timely basis including through the annual and half-yearly reports. At the election of shareholders reports issued by the Company are provided electronically.
