RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
GROUP HIGHLIGHTS
As highlighted at the 2018 Annual General Meeting, the half year was significantly affected by the performance of CVC's ASX listed share portfolio. This resulted in an underlying net loss after tax of \$4.9 million and a net loss after tax to shareholders of \$6.4 million. The results for the half year can be summarised as follows:
| Underlying Results | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1H FY2018 | 1H FY 2017 | Growth vs pcp (%) |
|
| Total income | \$39.2 m | \$41.2 m | (4.7%) |
| Underlying NPAT | (\$4.9 m) | \$20.0 m | (124.4%) |
| NPAT to shareholders | (\$6.4 m) | \$16.6 m | (138.4%) |
| Interim dividend | 7.0 cps | 7.0 cps | - |
| Net tangible assets | \$188.4 m | \$208.3 m | (9.6%) |
| Net cash position | \$30.3 m | \$56.4 m | (46.3%) |
Whilst the half year financial result is clearly disappointing the overall performance is considered to be positive, reflected in the following highlights:
- Completion of the development of the Caltex travel centre and continued progress on the planning and development of the retail centre at Caboolture, Queensland;
- Sale of the Port Macquarie site on a fund through basis and construction of the Bunnings retail centre generating \$3.4 million for the half year, with forecast completion in March 2019;
- Continued repositioning of the commercial precinct via re-leasing and refurbishment of the Mooloolabah Wharf, Queensland into an upmarket retail and tourist destination;
- Receipt of a further \$5.5 million instalment in accordance with the contract of sale of 960 Donnybrook Road, Donnybrook, Victoria, taking total instalments received for the sale to \$10 million;
- Interest and associated fee income of \$3.2 million from the provision of property finance facilities and \$1.6 million from commercial debt facilities;
- 150% growth in the commercial lending portfolio to \$36.2 million;
- The commencement of the Eildon Debt Fund with \$25.5 million deployed into a number of senior property loans;
- Establishment and launch of an \$50 \$100 million CVC Emerging Companies Fund;
- Continued development of Bigstone Finance and its loan marketplace, with \$27 million in loans written since inception in June 2016.
- Payment of a fully franked dividend of 8 cents per share during the period and an interim dividend of 7 cents per share payable on 8 March 2019.

HALF YEAR IN REVIEW
Highlights
CVC's is taking advantage of tightening credit markets by increasing the loan portfolio of the group as deal flow improves. Loans are continuing to be written at high interest rates with good underlying security. The market for financing activities will continue to generate consistent long term recurrent income streams.
CVC's property portfolio is a major source of recurrent earnings, including interest and associated fee income from loans, rental income from direct property investments and capital growth in the underlying assets. This objective is driven by investment in both direct and indirect property assets, with the portfolio spanning the residential, commercial, retail and industrial sectors. The focus is to provide loans or make direct property investments to take full advantage of changing market cycles.
In addition, the inherent uplift in value from direct property investment is anticipated to contribute to earnings over the longer term as identified projects are realised. The conditional sale of the Donnybrook property will generate an anticipated profit of \$49 million on a staged basis over 4 years following Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) approval anticipated to commence in the 2021 financial year. Further progress in the development of strategic land holdings has been made during the period from projects at Liverpool, Marsden Park, Caboolture, Kingsgrove and Turrella.
The listed investment portfolio generated a significantly negative result for the half year, as a result of the correction experienced by global markets during Q2 FY 2019. As the focus of the listed equities segment is to acquire significant holdings in small and micro capitalised companies, this was significantly impacted by a lack of liquidity in the market and higher volatility. Subsequent to the end of the half year markets have however stabilised and continue to move higher. CVC has benefited by the change of sentiment with a strong recovery in the equities portfolio during the Q3 FY 2019 as the market has recovered with a \$8.5 million improvement since January 1, 2019, representing a 9.8% increase compared to the ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation index of 11.1% over the same period.
CVC's funds management division continues to grow with Bigstone Capital Pty Limited undertaking a capital raising as well as reaching \$27 million loans written since inception. In addition, agreement has been reached with a significant partner to develop the unlisted CVC Emerging Companies Fund which is focused on growth and expansion stage companies, targeting a \$50 - \$100 million raising during the 2H FY 2019. CVC continues to partner with external investment managers with the objective growing the external investment strategies. These new strategies will complement the existing portfolio and contribute to ongoing profitability via recurrent management fees and performance fees.

1. Segment profits exclude unallocated amounts such as bank interest, overhead costs and income tax expense.
Direct Property
Total contribution to comprehensive income was \$5.6 million (31 December 2017: \$13.5 million) net of project specific borrowing costs of \$0.7 million. Highlights include:
- Progress continuing to be made on the planning approvals for Donnybrook, Victoria and Marsden Park, New South Wales sites;
- Completion of the Caltex service centre at Caboolture, Queensland;
- Commencement and substantial completion of the Bunnings retail centre at Port Macquarie, New South Wales; and
- Approvals obtained for development of the retail centre at Caboolture, Queensland, that will unlock the future development of the site.
The Donnybrook joint venture has previously entered into contracts to sell 960 Donnybrook Road and 1030 Donnybrook Road, both of which are conditional on PSP approval. On 21 December 2018 CVC confirmed receipt of \$5.5 million under the contract for 960 Donnybrook Road, taking the total payments held under that contract to \$10 million.
CVC's share of revenue from the sales will be recognised progressively in line with the staged settlements, and will therefore be dependent on timing of PSP approval. The PSP approval process has progressed positively. CVC expects that revenue from the sale contracts will begin to be recognised from 1H FY 2021, underpinning earnings through to FY 2024.
Progress has been made on planning approvals in respect of Marsden Park North in New South Wales, East Bentleigh and Donnybrook in Victoria. CVC continued the repositioning and development of the Caboolture and Mooloolaba projects in Queensland. All projects provide long term development pipelines once planning outcomes have been achieved of retail, commercial and residential uses.
CVC expects current market conditions to present opportunities for astute acquisitions and strategic partnering relationships. With a strong balance sheet and disciplined capital management, CVC expects to be well placed to capitalise on these as they arise.

Property Backed Lending
Total contribution to comprehensive income was \$3.6 million (31 December 2017: \$3.1 million). Deal flow remains strong for lending opportunities, with the current balance of the loan book increasing by approximately 30% during the period to \$52.7 million as at 31 December 2018.
Commercial debt and alternatives
Total contribution to comprehensive income was \$1.6 million (31 December 2017: \$0.7 million). Commercial lending is expected to provide a significant contribution to CVC's short term performance as credit markets tighten as banks withdrawn from lending to higher risk segments.
Deal flow remains strong for lending opportunities, with loans continuing to be written at high interest rates with good underlying security. The current balance of the loan book has increased by approximately 150% during the period to \$36.2 million as at 31 December 2018.
Listed Equities
The listed equities portfolio contributed a loss of \$12.4 million to comprehensive income (31 December 2017: gain of \$10.5 million), which includes both net profit \$3.2 million generated from the sale of securities and a revaluation loss of the existing portfolio of \$16.7 million. In addition, CVC received \$1.1 million in distributions from securities during the period.
The ASX listed portfolio generated an 8.6% loss compared to the benchmark comparison of the ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index of 12.7% loss for 1H FY 2019.
The loss from the revaluation of the existing portfolio occurred during Q2 FY 2019, which occurred during the broad-based correction to global equities markets. As CVC's focus is on the acquisition of significant holdings in small and micro capitalised companies, the fall in

value of this sector was more pronounced. Subsequent to the end of the half year, markets have stabilised and continue to move higher. CVC has benefited by the change of sentiment with a strong recovery in the equities portfolio during the Q3 FY 2019. As the market has recovered, a \$8.5 million profit recovery has been observed since December, 31 2018.
The following table provides a comparison of the performance of the CVC ASX listed portfolio compared to the ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index for the period of July 1, 2018 to February, 15 2019. During the period, CVC has overall outperformed its comparable benchmark.

During the period significant positive contributions were generated from Probiotec Limited (ASX: PBP) and IDT Australia Limited (ASX: IDT). Negative contributions to profit were generated from Bionomics Limited (ASX: BNO), Incentiapay Limited (ASX: INP), Villa World Limited (ASX: VLW), Prime Media Group Limited (ASX: PRT) and Raiz Invest Limited (ASX: RZI).
Private Equity
The total contribution to comprehensive income was \$0.1 million (31 December 2017: \$1.8 million). During the period PrimeQ Limited was sold, generating a profit of \$0.6 million, representing approximately an 103% uplift on the original investment. Further, a significant private equity opportunity was reviewed, but did not proceed following the outcome of due diligence.
The investment in CleanSpace safety product manufacturer, Cleanspace Holdings Pty Limited, continues to execute on its growth strategy, with a growing global presence in Europe and USA with revenues growing at 50% per annum.
Further, CVC had a number of acquisition and sale transactions during the period of smaller earlier stage companies. CVC's track record of investing in unlisted equities and market presence has seen an opportunity to start up the wholesale unlisted CVC Emerging Companies Fund focused on growth and expansion stage companies.
Level 37 1 Macquarie Place Sydney NSW 2000

Funds Management
This segment contributed a loss of \$0.5 million (31 December 2017: loss of \$0.5 million) which was primarily due to an equity accounting loss arising from the investment in Bigstone Capital Pty Limited during the period. In addition to Bigstone Capital Pty Limited, the segment includes a number of growing fund managers including Eildon Funds Management Limited, JAK Investment Group Pty Limited and Australian Invoice Finance Pty Limited.
During the period Eildon Funds Management Limited commenced a contributory mortgage fund, which provides property finance that has a lower risk profile than CVC's current investment profile, utilising externally raised funds. The Fund is available to wholesale investors, allowing them to participate in lower risk opportunities.
Bigstone Capital Pty Limited, completed a capital raising and has continued to grow its loan book, with \$27 million in loans written since inception.
CVC Emerging Companies Fund which is focused on growth and expansion stage companies, in partnership with Evans and Partners, has launched targeting a \$50 - \$100 million capital raising and should meaningfully contribute to the segment from FY 2020.
In addition, CVC continues to partner with external investment managers with the objective of growing external investment strategies. These new strategies will complement the existing portfolio and contribute to ongoing profitability via recurrent management fees and performance fees. In addition to the above investment strategies, it is likely that future investment vehicles / opportunities to be offered by CVC funds management in the short term will include:
- Small / Mid-Cap Listed Investment Vehicles;
- Direct Real Estate Investment vehicles; and
- Private debt.
Growth in funds management activities has been a significant contributor to an increase in the quality and consistency of deal flow available to CVC and also provides opportunities to develop meaningful recurrent income streams.
OUTLOOK AND GROWTH
CVC generates its core earnings base from a combination of lending, equity investment and property development activities. CVC continues to grow its recurrent earnings, while at the same time enhancing the earnings with realisations of investments.
Given the nature of investment activities of CVC, it is difficult to reliably predict optimal timing for capital profits from investment realisations, and thereby meaningfully forecast profits from other investment activities. The results for the 2019 financial year will be dictated by the timing of realisations of major projects and investments which cannot be reliably forecast. The underlying core investment strategies remain targeted to delivering annual returns of greater than 15%, whilst investment activities particularly in the property segment are expected to further contribute to meaningful uplift in underlying NTA growth.
The success of CVC lies in realising latent underlying value whilst structuring investments with capital protection. We are conscious of the cyclical nature that markets can play in the outcome of CVC's investments – and in particular the opportunities these present.
To support future growth, we are providing investors with the opportunity to invest in the various successful strategies of CVC. This will see CVC significantly grow its funds management investment strategy, continuing to grow its recurrent income and supplement the income generated from its other investment strategies.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND DIVIDEND POLICY
The Board is committed to maintaining an appropriate balance between dividends and capital deployed to deliver longer term shareholder performance. It is also focused on passing on successful growth in annual profitability to shareholders in the form of higher dividends. This has been evident by the increasing interim and final dividends historically paid.
The chart below provides an illustration of the growth in dividends paid to shareholders since 2010.

The Board is committed to maintaining the payment of dividends to shareholders that is in line with the underlying profitability of CVC. On February, 18 2019 an interim fully franked dividend of 7 cents per share was declared which will be paid to shareholders on 8 March 2019. The Board anticipates that future dividends will continue to be franked to 100% subject to available franking credits.
CVC has periodically purchased shares under its buy back scheme, dependant on price. The buy-back scheme will be utilised to enable a better alignment of market price to net asset value from recurrent earnings when accretive to shareholder value.

Measurement of construction contract revenue and expense
When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised using the output method by reference to a progress certificate issued by the project manager. The progress certificate issued by the project manager represents the current state of completion and is a reliable estimate of the works that have been done. This involves reporting revenue, expenses and profit attributable to the proportion of work completed. Where revenues are associated with uncertain project expenditure, including rental guarantees and lease incentive payments, the revenue is not recognised in the profit or loss until it is highly probable that there will be no reversal or adjustment in the future.
Where the contract term is for periods of one year or less, as permitted under AASB 15, the transaction price allocated to these unsatisfied contracts is not disclosed.

NOTE 21: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities of CVC are approximately equal to their carrying values. No financial assets or financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.
Judgements and estimates were made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments and non-financial assets that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, CVC has classified its financial instruments and non-financial assets into three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of the assets and liabilities as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised in the table below.
| Quoted market price (Level 1) |
Valuation technique – market observable inputs (Level 2) |
Valuation technique – non market observable inputs (Level 3) |

NOTE 23: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Since the end of the period, the directors have determined to pay an interim dividend of 7 cents per share, fully franked, payable on 8 March 2019.
There are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of CVC, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of CVC in the financial period subsequent to 31 December 2018.
NOTE 24: CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
24.1 AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
CVC has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018 which replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and several revenue related Interpretations. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.
(a) Accounting for revenue
CVC's revenue includes interest revenue, dividend income and investment gains which are specifically excluded from the scope of AASB 15 and are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. Other revenues are set out below.
Contract Revenue
CVC develops commercial properties. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised by using the output method by reference to a progress certificate issued by the project manager. The progress certificate issued by the project manager represents the current state of completion and is a reliable estimate of the works that have been done. This involves reporting revenue, expenses and profit attributable to the proportion of work completed. Where revenues are associated with uncertain project expenditure, including rental guarantees and lease incentive payments, the revenue is not recognised in the profit or loss until it is highly probable that there will be no reversal or adjustment in the future.
A receivable is also recognised by reference to the progress certificate issued by the project manager as this is the point in time that consideration is unconditional.
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.
Fee income
CVC provides services to parties which is measured at the amount in accordance with the agreement. Revenue is recognised in the accounting period which the services provided are matched with the use of the benefits by the client. A receivable is recognised at the same time as this is the point in time that consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
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.
NOTE 24: CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
24.1 AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (cont.)
(b) Presentation of assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers
CVC has also voluntarily changed the presentation of balance sheet to reflect the terminology of AASB 15. Contract assets in relation to construction contract were previously presented as part of Financial Assets – "at amortised cost". An amount of \$743,050 has been reclassified to Contract Assets as at 1 July 2018.
(c) Impact of adoption
The adoption of AASB 15 has not had a material impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. No adjustment has been recognised to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 2018 as a result of the adoption of AASB 15 and consequently no further disclosures have been included in this interim financial report.
24.2 AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 Financial Instruments has been adopted from 1 July 2017, details of the changes have been disclosed in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018. In accordance with the transitional provisions in AASB 9 Financial Instruments paragraph 7.2.15, comparative figures have not been restated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT (CONTINUED)
Auditor's Responsibility (Continued)
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
