Managing Director['] s Letter

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

==> picture [232 x 215] intentionally omitted <==

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

CVC Limited has had a positive year in the face of trying conditions. For a second consecutive period the work environment was impacted by travel and workplace restrictions. Adaptability and resilience from the people that work inside the business as well those we partner with are the reason we have recorded the result that we have.

The CVC business has continued to pursue property as the mainstay of its operations, while at the same time managing a select number of investments which are outside this segment. The financial result of the 2021 financial year is an improvement from the previous period and the Board is confident that the portfolio of investments currently held will provide a strong platform of further improved performance.

We are delighted to have welcomed Craig Treasure to CVC as its Executive Chairman during the year. It is significant that we have access to his experience and expertise in real estate to allow us to optimise value

from our significant property positions, particularly Marsden Park, Liverpool and Donnybrook as well as being a source of new investment opportunities.

HIGHLIGHTS

CVC Limited delivered a net profit to shareholders of $19.5 million ($2.1 million loss FY2020). This turnaround has come at a time when the process of refocus toward property nears its completion.

Property debt remains a key pillar in our investment portfolio and is anticipated to continue to contribute stable returns for the group.

The portfolio of direct property equity investments continue to position well in the current market. Planning processes for our major projects are ongoing and we remain optimistic that these will contribute to significant value increases for shareholders over time, just as our East Bentleigh investment did during the financial period as a result of a successful rezoning outcome.

CVC seeks to invest in great people and opportunities. Our focus is often where others are not looking.

2 ANNUAL REPORT | 2021

CVC Limited and its Controlled Entities

==> picture [113 x 215] intentionally omitted <==

Non property investments within the portfolio are positioned well for growth and we are excited about their prospects in the coming year.

The investment made into land capable for neighbourhood shopping centres is starting to deliver results as the Elara Shopping Centre nears completion and the Caboolture Shopping Centre commences construction. We are also optimistic about land we hold for similar uses in Werribee, Victoria in the Harpley master planned community being developed by Lendlease.

Non property investments within the portfolio are positioned well for growth and we are excited about their prospects in the coming year.

OUTLOOK

Given the nature of the investment portfolio, it is not possible to forecast the level of profitability for the current period, but the Board remains optimistic that the aggregate of short-term profitability and creation of value within the investment portfolio which will be realised over the longer term will yield strong outcomes for Shareholders.

We continue to seek out partnership opportunities with exceptional people and businesses, which should mean CVC will see many opportunities to invest capital over the course of the year and beyond. This focus will also mean that the CVC team is likely to remain relatively small in number, and there is potential for transaction sizes to be larger and more concentrated.

The management team and the Board are indebted to CVC Shareholders for their ongoing support and are excited to have the opportunity to execute the business plan and to grow the long-term value of your company.

CVC Limited and its Controlled Entities

==> picture [113 x 215] intentionally omitted <==

There has been a significant improvement in trading results during the year, which has been achieved from its increased exposure to property investment activities, along with a concentrated portfolio of nonproperty investments.

Property financing is a segment that continues to perform well for CVC and remains a key part of the business strategy. Again, it provided a significant contribution to income during the year.

We pride ourselves on protecting capital while generating exceptional investment returns for shareholders.

The major property projects within the portfolio have achieved significant progress during the year. The rezoning of East Bentleigh was completed during the year which has resulted in significant value gain which will be realised in future periods.

Further, each of the Caboolture, Marsden Park, Donnybrook and Liverpool projects have made further progress in achieving either planning outcomes or development which are anticipated to generate significant returns, some of which are forecast to flow in FY2022.

Property Backed Lending

Total pre-tax contribution was $13.7 million (2020: $8.1 million). During the financial year the property loan portfolio has increased considerably and CVC will continue to deploy funds into lending opportunities where high quality security is available and investment terms are generally between 12-18 months. The business remains of the view that the risk / return metrics in this area are strong relative to other investment opportunities, particularly when overlaid with the experience and industry networks which CVC has in this segment.

Direct Property

Total pre-tax contribution was $23.7 million (2020: loss of $1.1 million). During the financial year a number of milestones were achieved which included:

  • The rezoning of East Bentleigh from industrial to “mixed use”, providing for a combination of apartment, retail and commercial uses. A revaluation of the property provided a pre-tax contribution of $11.8 million.

  • The Elara Village Town Centre, Marsden Park has been sold on a fund through and development structure with construction anticipated to be completed in H1 FY2022. The contribution to pre-tax profits for the current year has been $3.1 million.

The commercial property in Woolloongabba which has approval for the development of 710 apartments plus additional retail space has benefited from the repositioning of the suburb. The site has experienced an increase in value that has contributed $10.1 million to pre-tax profits.

Progress on other property projects during the financial year include:

  • An agreement for lease has been finalised with Bunnings for the construction of a warehouse in Caboolture, Queensland, which will commence H1 FY2022. In addition, commitments have been received from Coles, Chemist Warehouse and PETstock to occupy the retail and bulky goods centres earmarked for the precinct, with construction forecast to commence in H1 FY2022.

  • Significant progress has been achieved on the Liverpool site rezoning, with an application made to Liverpool City Council for the development of a mixed-use precinct, with council providing their support for the proposal to progress to a gateway determination process.

  • The completion of the first stage acquisition of a parcel of land in Werribee, Victoria that will be developed into a neighbourhood centre with a forecast end value of $90 million. This project is progressing well with development forecast to commence in H2 FY2022.

2021 | ANNUAL REPORT 7

The Year in Review

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

SEGMENT REVIEW (CONT.)

Direct Property (Cont.)

The Shenstone Park Precinct Structure Plan process is now completed and is now waiting gazettal of rezoning of the Donnybrook property. This is forecast to occur during H1 FY2022 which will trigger the staged settlement of the land over the following four years.

  • An application continues to be progressed for the rezoning of the land at Marsden Park. If approved the development is forecast to yield approximately 550 allotments.

Non-Property Investment

The Non-Property segment reduced both in terms of number of investments and proportion of the CVC investment portfolio over the year. This segment generated a total pre-tax contribution to profit of $10.1 million (2020: loss of $4.1 million). The profit was primarily attributed to the sale of the investment in Australian Invoice Finance Limited which generated a profit of $2.3 million; an increase in value of Cyclopharm Limited (ASX: CYC) contributing $2.1 million; and distribution and increase in value of CVC Emerging Companies Fund which contributed $1.6 million.

==> picture [232 x 215] intentionally omitted <==

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Over the next 12 months CVC will be focused on unlocking and delivering value from the existing portfolio of direct property assets which contain substantial potential for significant value uplift in the short and medium term. The business will also continue to be active in deploying excess funds into property lending opportunities with the objective of maximising returns for shareholders.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND DIVIDEND POLICY

Total fully franked dividends for the current financial year amounted to 8 cents per share, representing a dividend yield of approximately 4% per annum based on 30 June 2021 closing price. The Board remains committed to paying dividends in line with the performance of the company and its underlying profitability.

As the operations of CVC are transactional in nature it is not possible to forecast a likely result and dividends for FY 2022.

CVC has periodically purchased shares and convertible notes under its buy-back schemes, depending on price. Buy-back schemes will continue to be utilised from time to time with a view that this will allow CVC to optimise the capital structure of the business and deliver long term shareholder value.

The Non-Property segment reduced both in terms of number of investments and proportion of the CVC investment portfolio over the year. This segment generated a total pre-tax contribution to profit of $10.1 million (2020: loss of $4.1 million). The profit was primarily attributed to the sale of the investment in Australian Invoice Finance Limited which generated a profit of $2.3 million; an increase in value of Cyclopharm Limited (ASX: CYC) contributing $2.1 million; and distribution and increase in value of CVC Emerging Companies Fund which contributed $1.6 million.

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.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

A final dividend in respect of the year ended 30 June 2021 of 5 cents per share was declared on 26 July 2021 to be paid on 20 August 2021 to those shareholders registered on 4 August 2021.

Other than as set out above, there are no 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.

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 has policies and procedures to identify and appropriately address environmental obligations that might arise in respect of CVC’s operations that are subject to significant environmental laws and regulation. The Directors have determined that CVC has complied with those obligations during the financial year and that there has not been any material breach.

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 (including Australian Accounting Interpretations). 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.

CVC is a '"for-profit entity" for the purpose of preparing the financial report. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in CVC and, are consistent with those of the previous year.

1.2 Current and Non-current Classification

CVC presents assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position as current or non-current.

  • Current assets include assets held primarily for trading purposes, cash and cash equivalents, and assets expected to be realised in, or intended for sale or use in, the course of CVC’s operating cycle and within one year from the reporting date. All other assets are classified as non-current.

  • Current liabilities include liabilities held primarily for trading purposes, liabilities expected to be settled in the course of CVC’s operating cycle and those liabilities due within one year from the reporting date. All other liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities.

1.3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

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 financial statement areas that involve the use of key estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are:

  • Impairment of investments accounted for using the equity method (refer note 33.1);

  • Impairment of financial assets at amortised cost (refer note 9);

  • Valuation of inventories (refer note 13);

  • Valuation of investment properties (refer note 16);

  • Fair value of certain financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (refer note 12 and note 33.2);

  • Impairment of intangible assets (refer note 17);

  • Assessment of whether or not CVC controls certain investees, and the date that control was deemed to be obtained (refer note 2 and note 33.3);

CVC Limited and its Controlled Entities

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

1.3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont.)

  • Recoverable value of other assets (refer note 14);

  • Recoverability of current and deferred tax assets and measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities, and the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable profits to recover such tax balances (refer note 6);

  • Fair value of performance rights (refer note 34); and

  • Classification of units in certain funds (refer note 33.4).

1.4 Rounding of Amounts

CVC is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to “rounding-off”. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest dollar unless otherwise stated.

1.5 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 all of the applicable new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Adoption of the applicable new or amended standards does not have a material impact on CVC.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by CVC. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on CVC in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

1.6 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact

The World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic in March 2020 as a result of COVID-19. The pandemic is still ongoing, with asset markets experiencing significant volatility, as well as creating significant uncertainty on its future economic impact. The critical accounting estimates and judgements of CVC have required additional consideration and analysis due to the impact of COVID-19. Given the uncertainty of the extent of the impact of the pandemic, changes to the estimates and outcomes that have been applied in the measurement of CVC’s assets and liabilities may arise in the future. Other than adjusting events that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the financial year, the impact of events that arise after the reporting period will be accounted for in future reporting periods.

The effect on the operations of CVC will be dependent on the severity and duration of the pandemic, as well as any further economic support provided by the government. The processes applied in the preparation of this Financial Report included a review of:

all financial assets at amortised cost and associated underlying security to determine if there has been a significant increase in credit risk and determined the expected credit loss on each financial asset. Refer note 9;

  • unlisted financial assets at fair value through profit or loss to determine if the investments’ carrying value included a consideration of the impact of COVID-19. Refer note 12;

  • the carrying value of inventories to take into consideration of either recent selling prices or independent valuations undertaken compared to the current carrying value of the properties. Refer note 13;

  • the appropriateness of the carrying value of call options over property assets. Refer note 14;

  • the carrying amount of each associate and joint venture, by comparing the investment’s recoverable amount with its carrying value. Refer note 15; and

  • the carrying value of investment properties has been considered in relation to the potential for vacancy risk and the impact on cashflows of the tenant. Refer note 16.

1.7 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 2021 (“CVC”). The financial statements of controlled entities are included in the results only from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

Control is achieved when CVC is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, CVC controls an investee, if and only if, CVC has:

  • Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When CVC has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, CVC considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;

  • CVC’s voting rights and potential voting rights; and

  • Common key management personnel.

CVC re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the these elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when CVC obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when CVC loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

1.7 Principles of Consolidation (Cont.)

disposed of during the year are included in the statement of profit or loss from the date CVC gains control until the date CVC ceases to control the subsidiary.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group 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 profit or loss 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 profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 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. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. 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 profit or loss from the date significant influence commences until the date significant influence ceases.

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 profit or loss from the date joint control commences to the date joint control ceases. CVC’s share of other movements in reserves is recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

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.

The reporting date of the Company and its subsidiaries is 30 June. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in CVC.

1.8 Impairment

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. 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. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. 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.

1.9 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.

28 ANNUAL REPORT | 2021

CVC Limited and its Controlled Entities

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

1.9 Income Tax and Other Taxes (Cont.)

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 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company formed a tax consolidation group on 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 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.

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.

1.10 Business Combination

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the:

  • fair values of the assets transferred;

  • liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business;

  • equity interests issued by CVC;

  • fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement; and

  • fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. CVC recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the:

  • consideration transferred,

  • amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity; and

  • acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity

over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable due in more than a year are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

For business combination which involved an equity interest previously held by CVC which qualified as an associate or a jointly controlled entity, it is similarly treated as if it were disposed of and reacquired at fair value on the acquisition date. Accordingly, it is remeasured to its acquisition date fair value, and any resulting gain or loss compared to its carrying amount at acquisition date is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

1.11 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

2021 | ANNUAL REPORT 29

==> picture [596 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

1.12 Trade and Other Payables

Trade 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 noninterest bearing and are normally settled on average between 30 - 45 day terms.

1.13 Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables 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. CVC applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade and other receivables. The measurement of expected loss is based on CVC’s historical credit losses experienced and then adjusted for current and forward-looking information affecting CVC’s customers.

1.14 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 assets that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. CVC applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for contract assets. The measurement of expected loss is based on CVC’s historical credit losses experienced and then adjusted for current and forward-looking information affecting CVC’s customers.

1.15 Inventories

CVC develops residential and commercial properties for sale which are classified as inventories. Development projects are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). Cost includes costs of acquisition, development and all other costs directly related to specific projects. NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to complete and sell the development.

1.16 Investment Properties

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Investment properties are subsequently measured 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 profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

1.17 Property, Plant and Equipment

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

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. When changes are made, adjustments are reflected prospectively in current and future periods only.

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

Plant and equipment 25% to 33% Leasehold improvements 14% to 20%

Impairment

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.

1.18 Leases

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by CVC.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

  • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable by CVC under residual value guarantees; and

  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects CVC exercising that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases held by CVC, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

CVC Limited and its Controlled Entities

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

1.18 Leases (Cont.)

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs; and

  • restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

1.19 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 be recorded in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

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

(b) Measurement

Initial 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.

Subsequent measurement

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 the statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Equity investments that have not been elected to present as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at FVPL. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as applicable.

(c) Impairment

The expected credit losses associated with debt instruments carried at amortised cost is assessed on a forward looking basis. The expected credit loss is determined based on changes in the financial asset’s underlying credit risk and includes forwardlooking information. Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the expected credit loss is determined with reference to the probability of default. CVC applies its judgement in determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition based on qualitative, quantitative, and reasonable and supportable information that includes forward-looking information.

Expected credit loss is generally determined based on the contractual maturity of the financial asset and an assessment of the underlying security provided by the counterparty. The expected credit loss is measured as the product of probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default, with increases and decreases in the measured expected credit loss from the date of origination being recognised in the statement of profit or loss as either an impairment loss or gain.

Outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions and estimates could result in changes to the timing and amount of expected credit losses to be recognised.

The loss allowances for expected credit loss are presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction to the gross carrying amount.

1.20 Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisition of businesses is included in intangible assets. 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 but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to the statement of profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

1.21 Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings

Initial measurement

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

Subsequent measurement

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

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

1.21 Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings (Cont.)

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

1.22 Other Liabilities

Other liabilities relate to non-controlling interests in contributory investment trusts that CVC has assessed that it controls and the units issued by these funds meet the definition of a liability in accordance with AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation rather than classified as equity.

1.23 Revenue and Revenue Recognition

Management Fee Income

Management fee income is recognised in respect to the following types of service contracts with customers:

  • Loan administration, fund administration and development administration services: these services are provided to customers as a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and transferred over time, either separately or in combination as an integrated offering, and are treated as a single performance obligation.

  • Equity raising, loan establishment, acquisition and project management services: due to the specialised nature of these services, the customer does not benefit from the process undertaken, but rather the outcome. CVC is only entitled to payment for services upon the successful completion of the contract. Hence, revenue is recognised at a point in time, upon completion of the service.

Rental income

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

Contract Revenue

CVC develops commercial properties. There is ordinarily one performance obligation, being the delivery of a completed building to a customer, including design, construction and leasing (if applicable) of the building. The performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue including costs and margin is recognised, over time with progress determined in line with the building’s percentage of completion. The percentage of completion is determined by costs incurred to date as a percentage of total expected costs. This method best represents the passing of control of the building to the customer as it is being built. Estimates of costs and project completion and associated revenue are revised if circumstances change, with any resulting increases or decreases reflected in the statement of profit or loss. Where revenues are associated with uncertain project expenditure, including rental guarantees and lease incentive payments, the revenue is not recognised 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 right to receive is established. Dividends received out of pre-acquisition reserves are recognised in revenue and the investment is also assessed for impairment.

1.24 Employee Entitlements

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be wholly 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”.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

1.24 Employee Entitlements (Cont.)

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.

Share-based payments

A subsidiary of CVC provides benefits to employees in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. In respect of share-based payments that are dependent on the satisfaction of performance conditions, the number of shares expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date. The amount recognised for services received as consideration for these equity instruments granted is adjusted to reflect the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

1.25 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.

1.26 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.

1.27 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.

1.28 Comparative Figures

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

1.29 Segment Reporting

A business segment is a distinguishable component of the entity that is engaged in providing differentiated products or services. Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

  • (a) On 17 November 2020, CVC sold 100% of EFM and its controlled entities to EDC, a subsidiary of CVC. Refer to note 2.2(a).

  • (b) The directors have concluded that CVC controls specified unit classes in Eildon Debt Fund (“EDF”), even though it holds less than half of the total voting rights of the fund. The significant judgements considered are as follows:

  • Eildon Investments Services Pty Limited (“EIS”), a 100% owned subsidiary of EFM, is the fund manager for EDF.

  • EIS has the decision-making authority to direct the relevant activities of EDF and make decisions in the best interests of all investors.

  • The investors’ rights to remove the fund manager are protective as they are excisable only when EIS is in default.

  • Each class of unit issued by the fund is only entitled returns generated from the specified asset associated with the specific class of unit. Each class of unit is non-recourse to each other class of unit issued by the fund.

  • CVC holds more than 20% of specific classes of units issued by EDF. This creates sufficient exposure for EIS to be a principal for the relevant specified units and their associated assets.

Units issued in the fund meet the definition of a liability under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation rather than equity. As such, the units in the funds not eliminated on consolidation are recognised as “Other Liabilities” in the statement of financial position. Refer note 33.4.

2.2 Acquisition of Operations

(a) Eildon Funds Management Limited

Internalisation of Eildon Funds Management Limited

On 17 November 2020, CVC sold 100% of Eildon Funds Management Limited (“EFM”) and its controlled entities to Eildon Capital Group (“EDC”), a subsidiary of CVC. EFM is a fund manager and the holder of a financial services license which provides funds management services to CVC entities as well as external funds. At the time of the sale, as CVC held 45.53% of the equity in EDC, resulting in CVC continuing to have an indirect interest in EFM following the transaction. As a result, CVC decreased its holding in EFM by 54.47%. Although CVC holds less than half of the voting rights of EFM, EFM continues to be considered as a subsidiary of CVC by virtue of EDC being a subsidiary of CVC.

Acquisition of Eildon Funds Management Limited

On 8 August 2019, CVC acquired 60% of Eildon Funds Management Limited (“EFM”) for a consideration of $3,623,500 at which time it became a 100% subsidiary of CVC. Immediately prior to that date, CVC had an existing holding of 40% of the equity on issue with a carrying amount of $471,622.

2.2 Acquisition of Operations (Cont.)

(b) Eildon Capital Group

During the 2020 financial year, Eildon Capital Group (“EDC”) completed a restructure, including a security buyback, which resulted in CVC’s holdings in EDC increasing to 45.5% on 25 May 2020. EDC operates as an autonomous investment vehicle with a Board consisting of a majority of independent directors. The directors of CVC assessed that as at 25 May 2020, having considered CVC’s ownership interests in EDC and the composition of the EDC share register and other indicators, that CVC’s interests had increased to a point where it has the likely ability to determine the outcome of resolutions put to a meeting of EDC securityholders, therefore in accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , EDC is considered from that date to be a controlled entity for financial reporting purposes, even though CVC holds less than half of the voting rights of this subsidiary.

No consideration was paid at the time that CVC was deemed to have gained control of EDC. Immediately prior to that date, CVC had an existing holding in EDC which has remained unchanged, which had a carrying amount of $18,545,778.

Deferred income tax assets are offset against deferred income tax liabilities to the extent that it is probable that the timing of the utilisation of the temporary differences will occur in the same accounting period, a legally enforceable right exists to set off tax assets and liabilities and that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

CVC estimates future taxable profits based on forecasts. Future taxable profits are influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, which are outside the control of CVC. A change in any of these assumptions could have an impact on the future profitability of CVC and may affect the recovery of deferred tax assets. The potential business impacts of COVID-19 have been reflected in the current forecasts. The recoverability of deferred tax assets including those arising from tax losses has been determined with reference to these forecasts.

  • (b) franking debits that will arise from the refund of overpaid tax instalments paid

  • (c) franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at year-end

  • (d) franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date

  • (e) franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years.

The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends.

9.1 Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing. CVC applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade and other receivables. The measurement of expected loss is based on CVC’s historical credit losses experienced and then adjusted for current and forward-looking information affecting CVC’s customers.

Movements in the allowance for expected credit losses were as follows:
Carrying amount at the beginning of the year - -
Provision for impairment recognised during the year - 138,625
Receivables written off during the year as uncollectible - (138,625)
Carrying amount at the end of the year - -

The gross carrying amounts of trade receivables of $337,401 (2020: $409,563) are not considered to have an exposure to credit risk over their lifetime.

9.2 Loans to Various Entities

Loans to various entities include Loans to associated entities, Loans to key management personnel and Loans to other entities. In the event that a counterparty defaults on a loan, CVC may take possession of security provided. During the year, CVC has not repossessed any assets that have been provided as security.

Expected credit loss on loans are disclosed as a deduction against the gross carrying amount of the loan. CVC regularly reviews loans to determine if there is a significant increase in credit risk, which may be evidenced by either qualitative or quantitative factors. These factors include if a counterparty does not pay a scheduled payment of principal and interest, requests a variation to the repayment terms, or management consider that there has been an adverse change in the underlying value of assets securing the loan. The significant increase in credit risk methodology is based on an actual credit risk review approach which considers changes in a counterparty’s credit risk since origination. The outcome of the review identifies the probability of default and the loss given default of the loan, which are used to determine the impairment required to be made in relation to a loan.

9.2 Loans to Various Entities (Cont.)

A loss allowance is identified at the time that there is a significant increase in credit risk of the borrower, and the loan is impaired once it is determined that an amount is not recoverable.

The table below represents the reconciliation of the expected credit loss allowance on loan assets to which the impairment requirements under AASB 9 are applied.

-
Carrying amount at the end of the year

Further details of loans are set out in note 30.

9.3 Fair Value

Due to the short-term nature of the current financial assets at amortised cost, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value. For the majority of the non-current financial assets at amortised cost, the fair values are also not significantly different from their carrying amounts as interest charged are at market rates.

NOTE 11: LEASES

CVC leases various offices and equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 4 years to 6 years, without any extension options.

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. CVC allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and nonlease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor and bank guarantees provided by CVC (refer note 27.1). Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

12.1 Investments in Listed Entities

The carrying value of investments classified as “Investments in listed entities” has been determined by using the fair value approach. Refer note 31. The “last-price” was determined to be an appropriate indication for the fair value of the investments.

Significant share holdings are held in Cyclopharm Limited, Heritage Brands Ltd and Tasfoods Limited. The number of shares held is greater than what would reasonably be considered to be liquid as each company does not trade on a daily basis; each trade that is executed is small in size; and the market capitalisation is small. CVC has determined that although an active market may not exist, 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. Additionally, CVC has been able to exit larger shareholdings over a period of time without impacting the prevailing share price, particularly when larger investors are seeking to acquire holdings. These factors have been used in determining the valuation of each entity.

12.2 Investments in Unlisted Entities

The carrying value of investments classified as “Investments in unlisted entities” has been determined by using appropriate 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. Refer note 31 for further information on fair value measurement.

12.2 Investments in Unlisted Entities (Cont.)

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on unlisted investments is as follows:

  • (a) Externally managed investments - the impact of COVID-19 would be considered by the investment manager when determining the underlying value of investments and reporting at financial year end.

  • (b) Investments in business operations – businesses have provided updates regarding the impact of COVID-19 on their operations and CVC is of the opinion that there has been no impact on the basis of determining the carrying value of investments.

CVC develops residential and commercial properties for the purpose of sale rather than being held as an investment property. Development projects are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value (“NRV”). Cost includes costs of acquisition, development and all other costs directly related to specific projects. NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to complete and sell the development. The carrying value has been determined as follows:

Current land development sites

During the financial year the land development project in Rockhampton, Queensland was completed with the sale of the last remaining lots.

Non-current land development sites

The projects represent developments at Marsden Park, New South Wales, Caboolture, Queensland and Werribee, Victoria. The current NRV of the projects exceed the carrying values which has been based on the following:

  • (a) Elara Village Neighbourhood Centre, Marsden Park, New South Wales

  • The acquisition of the property was completed on 15 June 2020. CVC was of the opinion that the purchase price was a reasonable estimate of the carrying value of the property as at 30 June 2020. CVC derecognised the property when the holding entity exited the group on 9 December 2020.

  • (b) Residential development, Marsden Park, New South Wales

  • An Independent valuation was completed by Landsburys Valuation & Advisory Pty Ltd on 11 July 2017 valuing the site at $65.0 million on a direct comparison basis compared to a current carrying value of $12.7 million. CVC is of the opinion that the current value continues to be comparable to the valuation as further progress has been made in rezoning the site.

  • (c) Retail precinct development, Caboolture, Queensland

  • An Independent valuation was completed by Jones Lang LaSalle Advisory Services on 29 September 2017 valuing the site at $13.875 million on a direct comparison basis compared to a current carrying value of $10. million. CVC is of the opinion that the current value would be significantly higher as further progress has been made in developing the site.

  • (d) Retail precinct development, Werribee, Victoria

  • The acquisition of the property was completed on 21 December 2020. CVC is of the opinion that the purchase price is a reasonable estimate of the carrying value of the property at 30 June 2021.

CVC is of the opinion that the NRV of the above land development sites exceeds the current carrying value.

Inventories recognised as an expense for the year ended 30 June 2021 totalled $2,480,421 (2020: $2,484,667). This expense has been included in the statement of profit or loss.

(a) The prepayments include an amount of $2,296,856 (2020: $3,551,874) which represents the finance cost in relation to the guarantee provided by a third party to the vendor of the property in Moorebank, New South Wales, being purchased by LAC JV Unit Trust. The guarantee is being amortised over the term that the facility is being provided.

(b) Other non-current assets include call options at deemed cost to purchase property, non-refundable call option fees paid and associated due diligence costs paid in relation to land subject to rezoning and further development. An impairment of $2,686,369 had been charged against two of the call options during the year.

An Independent valuation was completed by Landsburys Valuation & Advisory Pty Ltd on 27 June 2019 valuing the remaining option at $26.0 million on a direct comparison basis. CVC is of the opinion that the current value would be significantly higher as further progress has been made in the rezoning of the underlying site.

Management have reviewed the recoverable amount of investments to determine whether an impairment is required taking into account any impacts of COVID-19. 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 33.1.

Impairment

The carrying value of investments in associates and joint ventures has been reviewed for impairment, including considering the impact of COVID-19. The carrying value of the investments in associates and joint ventures has not been impacted with the current carrying value being a reasonable indication of the value of each entity based on an assessment of each entities net asset backing. Further:

JAK Contributory Mortgage Fund Loan Trust No 8

The underlying investment in the associate represents a loan provided to a property developer which is managed by JAK Investment Group Pty Limited (the Manager). The carrying value of the investment represents CVC’s share in the fair value of the loan, which has been determined on the basis of the net asset backing methodology. The Manager considers that the carrying value reflects the recoverable value after assessing the impact of COVID-19.

The goodwill is attributable to the acquisition of the funds management business in Eildon Funds Management Limited on 8 August 2019. The recoverable amount is supported by an independent valuation prepared by Grant Thornton Australia Ltd on 8 October 2020.

The valuation of Eildon Funds Management Limited was based on the following metrics:

  • Discount cash flow model: growth rate 2.5% and discount rate 9.5% -10.5%;

  • Earnings before interest and taxes multiple: 4.3 – 5.7x;

  • Funds under management: 1.7% - 2.3%

Directors are of the opinion that the relevant metrics are prudent and justified, given there was no significant change since the date of the valuation report.

(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) Debt settlement expenses is the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the notes at the time they were bought back.

(c) Interest accrued as at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 were included in other payables. Refer to note 18.

The initial fair value of the liability portion of the note was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible note at the issue date. The liability is subsequently recognised on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the notes. The remainder of the proceeds is regarded as the value of the conversion rights and is recognised in shareholders’ equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent periods. Interest on convertible notes is expensed in profit or loss.

20.4 Fair value

For the majority of the borrowings, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on those borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature.

20.5 COVID-19 Response

As part of the COVID-19 response CVC has been buying back and cancelling convertible notes which has the impact of improving the loan to value ratio and reduces the risk of a breach of a lending covenant in the event that the values of assets were to fall. CVC continues to hold sufficient cash reserves and manage its cashflows in the event that it is required to repay borrowings when facilities fall due.

The above liabilities relate to non-controlling interests in contributory investment trusts that CVC has assessed that they control and that the units issued in these funds meet the definition of a liability under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation rather than equity. Refer to note 33.4 for more information.

Capital risk management

CVC’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, CVC may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2020 Annual Report.

NOTE 30: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

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.

30.1 Interest Rate Risk

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

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 30: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.)

30.1 Interest Rate Risk (Cont.)

CVC holds a significant amount of cash balances which are exposed to movements in interest rates. Further, approximately half of borrowings of CVC are at variable interest rates.

CVC has made a commercial decision to not hedge against movements in interest rates. CVC business operations includes borrowing funds at low interest rates and lending at higher rates. Although hedging provides a level of certainty from moving interest rates, it reduces the flexibility of being able to repay loans with excess, undeployed funds if the need arises.

Given the low interest rate environment and the short-term funding requirements for investment opportunities, CVC accepts lower rates of interest in exchange for liquidity in relation to cash deposits. CVC typically deposits uncommitted cash with financial institutions with an “investment grade” credit rating of BBB or higher to maintain liquidity for any investment opportunity that arises. 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.

Sensitivity

CVC expects the Bank Bill Swap Rates (BBSW) to increase during the 2022 financial year by 0.5%. The impact at reporting date if interest rates increase by 0.5% (2021: interest rates stayed the same), whilst all other variables are held constant, is as follows:

~~Decrease of 50 bp~~
~~$~~
2021
Net loss 137,006
Equity decrease 137,006

30.2 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:

~~Increase of 10%~~ ~~Decrease of 10%~~
~~$~~ ~~$~~
2021
Net profit/(loss) 1,266,911 (1,266,911)
Equity increase/(decrease) 1,266,911 (1,266,911)

Equity increase/(decrease) 3,217,873 (3,217,873)

CVC Limited and its Controlled Entities

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 30: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.)

30.3 Credit Risk Exposure

Credit risk refers to the loss that CVC would incur if a debtor or counterparty fails to perform under its obligations. CVC is exposed to credit risk from financial assets including cash and cash equivalents held at banks, trade and other receivables and loans to various entities. 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 does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties under financial instruments entered into by CVC. CVC manage the credit risk as follows:

i) Cash deposits:

This is mitigated by the requirement that deposits are only held with institutions with an “investment grade” credit rating of BBB or higher.

ii) Loans made to various entities:

This is mitigated by collateral held with a value in excess of the counterparty’s obligations to CVC, providing a “margin of safety” against loss. Collateral is in the form of guarantees, security deeds and undertakings which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.

iii) Trade receivables:

Trade receivables are mainly related to management of relevant loans to various entities. This is mitigated by collateral held with a value in excess of the counterparty’s obligations to CVC, providing a “margin of safety” against loss.

30.4 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that CVC might be unable to meet its obligations. 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 maturity profiles of CVC’s contractual liabilities.

~~Less than~~ ~~6 Months to~~

Lease liabilities 53,324 53,893 293,800 401,017

(a) Payments to unitholders of Eildon Debt Fund and Eildon Property Investment (E) Fund are matched with the cashflows of the repayment of specific loans classified as “Financial assets classified at amortised cost”.

30.5 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, which means that CVC does not actively manage its currency risk.

CVC is exposed to the US dollar (USD) and New Zealand dollar (NZD). 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 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 31: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value reflects the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Quoted prices or rates are used to determine fair value where an active market exists. If the market for an asset is not active, fair values are estimated using valuation techniques, based on market conditions prevailing at the measurement date. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; net asset backing; reference to current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same and discounted cash flow analysis.

The fair value of liquid assets maturing within three months are approximate to their carrying amounts. This assumption is applied to liquid assets and the short-term portion of all other financial assets and financial liabilities. Judgements and estimates were made in determining the fair values of certain 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.

The range of values represent the highest and lowest input used in the valuation techniques. Therefore, the range does not reflect the level of uncertainty regarding a particular input, but rather the different underlying characteristics of the relevant assets.

NOTE 32: EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO YEAR END

A final dividend in respect of the year ended 30 June 2021 of 5 cents per share was declared on 26 July 2021 to be paid on 20 August 2021 to those shareholders registered on 4 August 2021.

Other than as set out above, there are no 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.

NOTE 33: 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.

33.1 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:

  • Burnley Maltings Pty Ltd as $1,951,985 (2020: $3,340,693).

  • CVC Emerging Companies Fund as $9,845,079 (2020: $9,851,602);

  • JAK Contributory Mortgage Fund Loan Trust No 3 as $5,000,000 at 30 June 2020;

  • JAK Contributory Mortgage Fund Loan Trust No 8 as $1,436,530 (2020: nil);

  • JAK Investment Group Pty Limited as $126,391 at 30 June 2020;

  • Lewcorp Properties Pty Limited as $638,724 (2020: $632,832);

  • MAKE EBRB Dev Nominee Pty Ltd as $18,153,179 (2020: $6,311,283);

  • Mooloolaba Wharf Holding Company Pty Limited as $3,759,002 (2020: $3,472,317); and

  • Turrella Property Unit Trust as nil (2020: $245,957).

The carrying value of Australian Invoice Finance Limited has been impaired to $842,861 as at 30 June 2020.

The carrying value of Bigstone Capital Pty Limited has been impaired to nil as at 30 June 2020.

The carrying value of Donnybrook JV Pty Limited has been calculated as $7,607,809 (2020: $7,222,433) based on the net asset backing methodology, using the most recent reports provided by the entity. A valuation of the property of $180.7 million indicates that CVC’s investment would have a value of approximately $88.5 million.

Net asset backing methodology

The net asset backing methodology considers that the net assets of an entity reflects the future value of the business. This is because:

  • the underlying value of the business operations may be focused specifically on increasing the value of its assets base; or

  • there is insufficient repetitive income or profits to justify the use of different valuation techniques such as discounted cashflows or multiple of earnings.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 33: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT.)

33.2 Investments in Listed Entities

Significant share holdings are held in Cyclopharm Limited, Heritage Brands Ltd and Tasfoods Limited. The number of shares held is greater than what would reasonably be considered to be liquid as each company does not trade on a daily basis; each trade that is executed is small in size; and the market capitalisation is small. CVC has determined that although an active market may not exist, 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. Additionally, CVC has been able to exit larger shareholdings over a period of time without impacting the prevailing share price, particularly when larger investors are seeking to acquire holdings. These factors have been used in determining the valuation of each entity.

33.3 Subsidiary Entities

Eildon Capital Group (“EDC”)

During the 2020 financial year, EDC completed a restructure on 25 May 2020 which resulted in CVC’s holdings in EDC increasing to 45.5%. The impact of the restructure has been that both EDC and 79 Logan Road Trust are treated as subsidiaries of CVC notwithstanding:

  • EDC has a board that comprises a majority of independent directors which operate the entity without direction for CVC; and

  • The minority investor in 79 Logan Road Trust is responsible for the ongoing management of the investment property owned by the trust.

Although both entities operate autonomously to CVC, as CVC has the ability to determine the outcome of any resolutions EDC and 79 Logan Road Trust are considered to be a controlled entities for accounting purposes.

During the financial year, EDC completed a capital raising on 23 March 2021, which resulted in CVC’s holding in EDC being diluted to 39.6%. Although the holding in EDC decreased, there has been no change to the significant judgement and EDC continues to be considered a controlled entity for accounting purposes.

Eildon Debt Fund (“EDF”)

The directors have concluded that CVC controls specified classes of units in EDF, even though it holds less than half of the total voting rights of the fund. The significant judgements considered are as follows:

  • Eildon Investments Services Pty Limited (“EIS”), a 100% owned subsidiary of EFM, is the fund manager for EDF.

  • EIS has the decision-making authority to direct the relevant activities of EDF and make decisions in the best interests of all investors.

  • The investors’ rights to remove the fund manager are protective as they are excisable only when EIS is in default.

  • Each class of unit issued by the fund is only entitled returns generated from the specified asset associated with the specific class of unit. Each class of unit is non-recourse to each other class of unit issued by the fund.

  • CVC holds more than 20% of specific classes of units issued by EDF. This creates sufficient exposure for EIS to be a principal for the relevant specified units and the associated assets.

Following the internalisation of EFM in November 2020 and capital raising of EDC in March 2021, CVC decreased its holding in EFM to 39.6%. Although the holding in EFM decreased, there has been no change to the significant judgements as EFM continues to be a subsidiary of CVC.

CVC is deemed to have acquired specified classes of units in EDF on 8 August 2019 along with the Eildon Funds Management Limited (“EFM”) transaction. Refer note 2.2(a). Each class of unit is non-recourse to each other class of unit issued by the fund. As such each class of unit is deemed to be a separate entity. As each class of unit contains a single identifiable asset, it passes the optional concentration test in AASB3. As such the directors concluded that the acquisition is not a business.

33.4 Classification of Units in Certain Funds

During the financial year, CVC reassessed the classification of units issued by the Eildon Debt Fund and Eildon Property Investment (E) Fund. After considering the underlying terms and conditions of the units as outlined in each funds’ trust deeds, CVC determined that it is more appropriate for the units issued by each fund be classified as liabilities. As a result, the units not eliminated on consolidation are recognised within “Other Liabilities” in the statement of financial position. Refer note 21.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 34: SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

On 1 February 2021, Eildon Capital Group (“EDC”), a subsidiary of CVC, issued its employees performance rights under the EDC Employee Incentive Plan. The Employee Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2020 annual general meeting, and is designed to provide long-term incentives for senior managers and above to deliver long-term securityholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted rights that deliver ordinary stapled securities to employees (at no cost) which only vest if certain performance hurdles are met. Participation in the plan is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.

Performance rights carry no dividend or voting rights or rights to participate in any other share/unit issue of EDC or any other entity. When exercisable, each performance right is entitled to receive one stapled security.

The number of rights that vest depends on achieving certain performance hurdles.

34.1 Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

TSR is calculated based on a combination of share price growth, dividends and distributions to securityholders of EDC. The percentage of Performance Rights subject to the TSR Hurdle that vest, if any, will be determined by the director’s of EDC with reference to the below table.

~~50% Subject to a Total Security~~ ~~50% Subject to a Total Security~~ ~~Holders~~
~~Return Hurdle of EDC~~
~~Return~~ ~~Vesting Amount~~
< 8% nil
8% - 10% 50%
10% - 12% 75%
>12% 100%

34.2 Return on Assets (ROA)

ROA is calculated on an annual basis, as earnings before interest and tax generated on average assets deployed. The percentage of Performance Rights subject to the TSR Hurdle that vest, if any, will be determined by the director’s of EDC with reference to the below table.

~~50% Subject to a Return~~ ~~50% Subject to a Return~~ ~~on~~
~~Assets Hurdle of EDC~~
~~Return~~ ~~Vesting Amount~~
< 12% nil
12% 50%
12% - 13.5%
50% - 100%
>13.5% 100%

The following table illustrates movements in the number of performance rights on issue during the year.

Year ended 30 June 2021

~~Exercise~~ ~~Balance at Start~~ ~~Granted during~~ ~~Balance at End~~ ~~Value~~

1 Feb 2021 31 Jan 2024 - - 409,300 409,300 $0.87

The fair value of the rights at grant date was based on the following inputs:

  • Share price of $1.09 at grant date;

  • Share price of $1.03 which is based on placement in March 2021;

  • 2 cps distribution paid on a quarterly basis;

  • Net assets of $1.11 as at 31 January 2021; and

  • Vesting date of 31 January 2024.

EDC has not issued performance rights to key management personnel of CVC.

NOTE 35: CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY – CLASSIFICATION OF UNITS IN CERTAIN FUNDS

During the financial year, CVC reassessed the classification of units issued by the Eildon Debt Fund and Eildon Property Investment (E) Fund. In previous financial years, CVC elected to classify units issued by each fund as equity and as a result those units not eliminated upon consolidation appeared within non-controlling interests. After considering the underlying terms and conditions of the units as outlined in each funds’ trust deeds, CVC determined that it is more appropriate for the units issued by each of fund be classified as liabilities. As a result, the units not eliminated on consolidation are recognised within Other Liabilities in the statement of financial position.

Comparative information has been restated to align with the revised accounting policy, so that both current year and prior year information is presented on a consistent basis. The following tables show the adjustments recognised for each individual line item. Line items that were not affected by the changes have not been included. As a result, the sub-totals and totals disclosed cannot be recalculated from the numbers provided.

Independent Auditor's Report

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

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 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the director’s 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 2021 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 Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) “the Code” that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgement, were of more 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of Financial Assets at Amortised Cost (Refer to Note 9 Financial Assets at Amortised Cost)

We focused our audit effort on the valuation of the Group’s Financial Assets at Amortised Cost as it is the largest asset of the Group and the assessment of recoverability requires significant judgement.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group had Financial Assets at Amortised Cost of $146.6 million, including an allowance for expected credit losses of $7.9 million.

A significant portion of the balance relates to loans receivable provided to corporate entities associated with property development activities and asset backed finance lending.

The Group applies the Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) model under AASB 9 Financial Instruments.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

  • Obtaining and reviewing loan agreements and other supporting documentation to gain an understanding of the loans provided and any related secured assets provided as collateral;

  • Assessing compliance of management’s methodology for determining the provision for the allowance for expected credit losses with AASB 9;

  • Reviewing and challenging the key assumptions and significant estimates and judgements used by management in determining the recoverability of financial assets; and

  • Assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the financial statements.

The assessment to determine the ECL for impairment of Financial Assets at Amortised Cost involves significant estimates and judgements by management, including both qualitative and quantitative assumptions. These include an assessment of the credit worthiness of the relevant counterparties, expected future collections, historical impairments and consideration of the estimated value of any secured assets provided as collateral.

Key Audit Matters (Cont.)

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation and Classification of Investment Properties, Investments accounted for using the Equity Method and Inventories (Refer to Note 13 Inventories, Note 15 Investments accounted for using the Equity Method and Note 16 Investment Property)

We focused our audit effort on the valuation and classification of the Group’s property assets as they are significant assets of the Group and their valuation requires significant judgement.

The Group’s investment in property assets include investment properties and inventories, which are held either directly or indirectly through its investments accounted for using the equity method.

There is significant focus in ensuring that the investments are correctly classified. The classification of investments is important as it determines how revenue and fair value adjustments (realised and unrealised) are reported, be it in profit or loss or through other comprehensive income or in the case of an associate through the equity accounting method.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group had Investment Property of $34.9 million, Inventories of $30.9 million and Investments accounted for using the Equity Method of $43.8 million.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

  • Assessing the appropriateness of the classification of the Group’s property investments;

  • Assessing the scope, competence and objectivity of external valuation experts and management’s valuation assessments;

  • Assessing the methodologies used in the valuations of property assets, for consistency with accounting standards, industry practice and the Group’s policies;

  • Challenging the key assumptions and significant estimates and judgements used in recoverability assessments and valuations; and

  • Assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the financial statements.

Investment properties are held at fair value and inventories are held at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

The valuation of property assets is determined using internal methodologies or through the use of external valuation experts.

The valuation of property assets involves the use of significant estimates and judgements, including both qualitative and quantitative assumptions. These include but are not limited to capitalisation rates, discount rates and forecasted income.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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.

Responsibility of 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.

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.

Independent Auditor's Report

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

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 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.

  • 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.

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.

As a result of these performance reviews, the Board may implement changes to improve the effectiveness of the Board and corporate governance structures.

  • Ian Campbell – Independent Director; and

  • Mark Avery – Managing Director.

The Board regularly reviews its composition, and although the Board does not currently comprise a majority of independent directors given the size, scale and nature of the operations of the company the Board believes that the current structure operates effectively and efficiently, allowing for it to collectively exercise its authority without the need for the appointment of additional independent directors.
