1. Operating and financial review
1.1 About GDI Property Group
GDI Property Group is an integrated, internally managed property and funds management group with capabilities in ownership, management, refurbishment, leasing and syndication of office and industrial properties.
The Trust is internally managed and owns a portfolio of office properties across Australia (“Portfolio”). As at 30 June 2017, the Portfolio comprised three wholly owned properties in CBD locations with a combined value of $620.6 million:
-
Mill Green Complex, which comprises three Buildings: 197 St Georges Terrace, 5 Mill Street and 1 Mill Street, Perth;
-
66 Goulburn Street, Sydney; and
-
50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise.
The Company owns an established funds business (“Funds Business”) which, in addition to managing the Trust, manages unlisted and unregistered managed investment schemes with Assets Under Management (“AUM”) of approximately $323.4 million.
In addition to its wholly owned Portfolio, the Trust may also hold stakes in the unlisted and unregistered managed investment schemes managed by the Funds Business. As at 30 June 2017, GDI Property Trust owns 43.68% of GDI No. 42 Office Trust. GDI No. 42 Office Trust owns two assets with a combined book value of $99.0 million.
GDI Property Group has a disciplined value based investment approach and a philosophy of acquiring properties that offer an opportunity for GDI Property Group to create value through active asset management, including leasing and selective capital improvements.
1.2 Strategy
GDI Property Group has two operating segments, property and funds management. All property assets owned are held by the Trust via wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company operates the Funds Business.
2
GDI PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
GDI Property Group’s strategy is to generate high risk adjusted total returns (distributions plus net tangible asset growth) by:
-
maximising the income and capital potential in the existing Portfolio by continuing the asset management strategies adopted for each property;
-
acquiring well located properties at below replacement cost that offer an opportunity to create value through active asset management, including leasing and selective capital improvements;
-
optimising the outcome for investors in the existing unlisted property funds and therefore generating performance fees; and
-
continuing to grow the AUM in the Funds Business by establishing new unlisted property funds.
GDI Property Group believes that this active strategy is unique in the Australian REIT market.
Property
GDI Property Group is an owner of well‐located CBD office properties diversified by geography, tenant and lease terms. Properties are intended to be acquired below management’s opinion of value, having regard to replacement cost, with multiple exit options and which have typically been under managed or undercapitalised.
Over time, it is the intention to increase net rental income and/or capital values via asset management strategies including:
-
improved leasing and tenant diversity;
-
selective capital improvements;
-
focusing on improving a property’s sustainability credentials;
-
management of outgoings;
-
incremental revenue initiatives including signage rent, additional car park income, storage, communications and other means; and
-
pursuing adaptive re‐use options.
It is expected the investment in Australian office properties on balance sheet will result in a reliable source of rental income for securityholders. Over time, GDI Property Group may divest some properties, if in the opinion of management, the value has been maximised or it no longer meets the investment objectives of GDI Property Group.
GDI Property Group also intends to acquire properties, funded by either recycling capital or utilising headroom within the gearing policy of a loan to value ratio (LVR) of less than 40%. The investment mandate of the Trust is to acquire well‐located CBD office properties, which are typically at least $100.0 million in value.
Funds management
The Company, through wholly owned subsidiaries, manages six unlisted, unregistered managed investment schemes with total AUM of $323.4 million. The Company has an investor base of over a 1,000 high net worth investors, many of whom have a history of repeat investment.
The Funds Business generates income by way of:
-
due diligence and acquisition fees;
-
asset management fees;
-
performance fees;
-
disposal fees;
-
other fees including leasing, project management and financing; and
-
where a stake in a fund is held, distributions and capital gains.
The Company intends to continue to establish unlisted, unregistered managed investment schemes and as a consequence grow its funds management fee income.

1.3 Review of operations
GDI Property Group results summary
The Board monitors a range of financial information and operating performance indicators to measure performance over time. The Board uses several measures to monitor the success of GDI Property Group’s overall strategy, most importantly Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) performance versus budgets and the Group’s total return, calculated as the movement in NTA plus distributions. FFO is a Property Council of Australia definition which adjusts statutory AIFRS net profit for non‐cash changes in investment properties, non‐cash impairment of goodwill, non‐cash fair value adjustments to financial instruments, amortisation of incentives, straight‐line adjustments and other unrealised one‐off items. GDI Property Group measures its absolute total return by the movement in net tangible asset backing per security plus distributions.
The reconciliation between GDI Property Group’s FFO and its statutory profit is as follows:

GDI PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Property
During the financial year, GDI Property Group sold two of its five wholly owned properties, 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide (on 5[th] January 2017) and 307 Queen Street, Brisbane (on 31[st] January 2017). 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide, was sold for $125.1 million, netting approximately $124.0 million after selling and other costs, a $10.0 million premium to its last independent valuation of $114.0 million. 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide, was purchased in 2009 by the then private GDI group for $76.0 million. The Property was one of four that was owned by GDI Property Group on listing in December 2013, with a then valuation of $109.0 million.
307 Queen Street, Brisbane, was sold for $142.2 million, netting approximately $141.0 million after selling and other costs, compared to the property’s last independent valuation of $126.5 million. GDI Property Group purchased 307 Queen Street, Brisbane, in December 2013 for $113.8 million on a like for like basis. At the time the property had occupancy of approximately 60% of net lettable area (NLA) and following an extensive refurbishment since taking control GDI Property Group was able to increase occupancy to over 85% of NLA.
Primarily as a result of these two sales, the Property Division delivered lower FFO of $53.7 million (FY16: $60.3 million) (pre corporate, administration and interest expenses and interest income), from the previous year. The impact of these asset sales was partially offset by the full year contribution from 50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise, which was acquired in February 2016. Importantly GDI Property Group does not include any profit or loss on sale of a property in its FFO or AFFO.
GDI Property Group’s portfolio had a number of material lease expiries in FY17, most notably 14,300sqm at 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney (August 2016), which together with existing vacancies at 1 Mill Street, Perth, and the recently acquired 50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise, meant that the focus of FY17 was leasing, with GDI Property Group achieving some outstanding results. At 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney, three of the tenants with FY17 expiries renewed (3,900sqm), while Consolidated Media Holdings Limited vacated its 10,432sqm in August 2016. GDI Property Group has had excellent success at releasing this space, with all but 483sqm[1] leased or subject to agreed terms. At 50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise, occupancy has increased to 90%[1] , up from 62%[1] at 30 June 2016. This leasing success at 50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise, has been a result of the capital expenditure program with the aim of recreating the Gold Coast’s preeminent office building.
At Mill Green, Perth, due to a 1,670sqm expiry in May in 197 St Georges Terrace, occupancy has decreased slightly to 79%[1] across the three properties, down from 81% at 30 June 2016. Pleasingly, occupancy in 5 Mill Street, Perth, the ‘middle’ asset in the three asset complex, has increased to 98% with only one suite remaining vacant. 1 Mill Street, Perth, the smallest of the three assets in the complex, remains vacant.
GDI Property Group also owns 43.68% of the units on issue of GDI No. 42 Office Trust, which owns 223 – 237 Liverpool Road, Ashfield and 235 Stanley Street, Townsville. Although 235 Stanley Street, Townsville, benefits from a two year rent guarantee, underlying occupancy increased during the year to 88% from 76% at 30 June 2016, with continued interest in the balance of the space. 223 – 237 Liverpool Road, Ashfield, continues to be fully occupied by the New South Wales government.
GDI Property Group’s property portfolio, including these two assets held by GDI No. 42 Office Trust, is valued at $719.6 million. During the year, all assets were independently revalued at least once either as at 31 December 2016, as at 30 June 2017, or both, resulting in an increase in the valuations over the year of $62.6 million. The significant revaluations of 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney (+$35.5 million) and 50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise (+$22.6 million), was partly offset by a decrease in the value of Mill Green, Perth (‐$6.0 million). Both assets in GDI No. 42 Office Trust were revalued to a combined total of $99.0 million, an increase of $10.5 million from the combined acquisition price of $88.5 million.

Funds management
GDI Property Group’s funds management business has a 24 year track record of successfully managing unlisted, unregistered managed investment schemes. Over that time period GDI Property Group has established nearly 40 unlisted, unregistered managed investment schemes, with over 30 of those now having been terminated. To date, no unlisted, unregistered managed investment scheme has returned a negative Internal Rate of Return (‘IRR’). GDI Property Group’s successful track record is partly a result of its disciplined approach to acquisition opportunities and given where capital markets are pricing assets, GDI Property Group did not acquire any assets for its funds management business in FY17, nor did it establish any new funds.
The highlight of the year was the sale of 80 George Street, Parramatta for $51.88 million, with settlement occurring in January 2017. 80 George Street, Parramatta was acquired in June 2015 and the sale price reflected a 34% gross premium to the acquisition price of $38.70 million. Investors in GDI No. 40 Office Trust received an IRR on their equity invested of over 19%, with GDI Property Group also generating $1.6 million of disposal and performance fees.
When GDI Property Group acquired 80 George Street, Parramatta, it immediately commenced a refurbishment program, including upgrading the foyer and painting the exterior. Lift lobbies were also upgraded as they became available. On the back of this refurbishment program, GDI Property Group was able to drive net rents between $50 and $95 per sqm higher, thereby significantly increasing both the passing income and the adopted market rent of the property. GDI Property Group also successfully negotiated an extension of Westpac Banking Corporation’s lease through to 30 September 2020, increasing the weighted average lease expiry to over 4 years as at 30 June 2016 from 2.9 years at acquisition.
The Funds Business segment delivered FFO of $6.4 million, significantly higher than the $4.3 million delivered in FY16. A large contributor to this is GDI No. 42 Office Trust, which is consolidated for statutory accounting purposes, but for FFO purposes GDI Property Group recognises the funds management fees generated on the 56.32% of the units it doesn’t own ($0.3 million) and the quarterly distributions on the 43.68% it does own ($2.5 million).
During FY17 GDI Investment Management Pty Limited fully impaired the recoverability of $449,000 of performance fees charged to GDI No. 29 GDI Office Fund that remained unpaid at 30 June 2017. As it had not been paid, this performance fee had never been included in GDI Property Group’s FFO, and accordingly, the impairment has been written back for FFO purposes.
Net interest expense
GDI Property Group’s net interest expense decreased significantly from FY16 primarily due to the lower amount of drawn debt following the settlements of 307 Queen Street, Brisbane and 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide. As at 30 June 2017, GDI Property Group’s principal facility was drawn to $49.4 million, secured by a security pool independently valued at $620.6 million, a loan to value ratio (LVR) of 8%.
Although the interest expense of GDI No. 42 Office Trust is included in the statutory accounts, it is not included in GDI Property Group’s FFO.
6
GDI PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Unallocated corporate administration expenses
GDI Property Group’s operating expenses increased by approximately $0.9 million from the previous financial year, principally due to the issuance of performance rights to employees. As the performance rights are expensed over a four year vesting period (the year of the performance period and the three vesting years), until such time as previous full year issues of performance rights vest or lapse (FY18), the employee benefits expense will increase with each new grant. Other corporate administration expenses remained largely unchanged from FY16.
Capital management
GDI Property Group’s balance sheet is in a strong position with a LVR on the principal facility of 8%, below the Board’s maximum LVR of 40% and the banks covenant of 50%. Following the settlements in January 2017 of 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide and 307 Queen Street, Brisbane, GDI Property Group reduced the size of its principal facility by $210.0 million and reduced the amount outstanding on the facility by $240.5 million. GDI Property Group’s principal facility is now $115.0 million, with drawn debt of $49.4 million and undrawn debt of $65.6 million.
As GDI No. 42 Office Trust is consolidated in to GDI Property Group’s accounts, its loan, secured by the two assets in GDI No. 42 Office Trust only, is also shown in the accounts of GDI Property Group. GDI No. 42 Office Trust has drawn debt of $31.0 million, 31% of the independent value of the assets held by GDI No. 42 Office Trust, and undrawn debt of $4.4 million.
This strong financial position enabled GDI Property Group to implement an on‐market buyback of its securities which was announced with the release of the half year results in February 2017. During FY17, GDI Property Group bought and cancelled 1,072,635 securities. Securities on issue now total 537,746,463, down from 538,819,098 at 30 June 2016.
GDI Property Group’s policy is to hedge at least 50% of its drawn debt. Following the repayment of $240.5 million from the principal facility, GDI Property Group terminated $80.0 million of interest rate swaps at a cost of $1.2 million, leaving $40.0 million hedged until December 2018 (81% hedged). As at 30 June 2017, all the drawn debt of GDI No. 42 Office Trust was subject to floating interest rates.

During the year there were no significant changes in GDI Property Group’s state of affairs.
1.4 Future prospects
Property – existing
GDI Property Group’s Portfolio comprises well located properties, with four sides of natural light and floor plates that are easily divisible. Each property in the Portfolio has leasing opportunities, either through current vacancy or impending expiry, with the largest of these now at Mill Green, Perth. GDI Property Group believes that leasing up the current vacancy and addressing the impending expiries will significantly increase the value of the Portfolio.

GDI PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
The strategy for FY18 for each of the properties in the Portfolio is summarised below:
| Asset | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Mill Green Complex, Perth | Address the existing vacancy and impending expiries in 197 St Georges |
| Terrace, Perth | |
| Finalise and execute lease agreements for remaining space in 5 Mill Street |
|
| Continue to explore leasing opportunities and alternate uses for 1 Mill |
|
| Street,Perth | |
| 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney | Complete the leasing up of the space vacated by Consolidated Media |
| Holdings Limited | |
| Continue to monitor exit opportunities |
|
| 50 Cavill Avenue,Surfers Paradise | Complete the refurbishment works and increase occupancyto +/‐ 95% |
| 235 Stanley Street, Townsville | Complete the leasing up of the vacant space |
| Commence negotiations with current occupiers about lease extensions | |
| 223 – 237 Liverpool Road,Ashfield | Commence negotiations with the existingtenant about lease extension options |
GDI Property Group has significant capacity to acquire and fund acquisitions by increasing the size of its principal facility. However, particularly in the Eastern states, GDI Property Group considers that the current environment of low interest rates fuelling very tight capitalisation rates is unsustainable, and that in the not too distant future rising capitalisation rates and increasing supply will result in a greater number of acquisition opportunities at more realistic pricing. GDI Property Group continues to see opportunities in both regional locations and in Perth, and continues to monitor these markets closely.
Funds management
GDI Property Group intends to continue to manage the six unlisted, unregistered managed investment schemes. GDI Property Group also intends to establish at least one new unlisted, unregistered managed investment scheme in FY18. Like GDI No. 42 Office Trust, GDI Property Group may hold a co‐investment position in any new unlisted, unregistered managed investment schemes it establishes. However, the commentary with regards to asset pricing in the Property segment above also holds true for funds management, and GDI Property Group will not acquire assets for the Funds Business that do not offer what GDI Property Group considers to be an appropriate return for the risks involved.
Guidance
GDI Property Group has a constantly evolving property portfolio, capital structure and funds management business. Given the likelihood of asset disposals and acquisitions, both for GDI Property Trust and the Funds Business, GDI Property Group chooses not to provide earnings guidance. However, GDI Property Group remains committed to at least maintaining its current level of distribution of 7.75 cents per security. As this is likely to be higher than GDI Property Group’s FFO and AFFO in FY18, the ability to maintain this is predicated on asset sales and capital recycling.
GDI Property Group will also continue to monitor opportunities to buy back its stock, pursuant to the on market buyback of up to 5% of securities on issue announced at the time of release of its 31 December 2016 results.

Long term incentives (LTI)
The LTI provides an annual opportunity for an equity award deferred for three years that aligns a significant portion of overall remuneration to security value over the longer term. LTI awards will remain at risk until vesting and must meet or exceed a relative Total Securityholder Return (50% of performance rights issued) and /or an Absolute Total Return (the other 50% of performance rights issued). The below table summarises the conditions that will apply to the performance rights granted for to the year ended 30 June 2017. These conditions are identical to those granted relating to the periods ended 30 June 2014, 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016. Details of the offers of performance rights are disclosed in Section 5.6 and 5.7 of this Remuneration Report.
Arrangements for the year ended 30 June 2017
| Type of award | Performance right, being a right to acquire a stapled security at nil cost, subject to meeting time and performance hurdles. Upon exercise, each performance right entitles the MD and Disclosed Executives to one stapled security. The future value of the grant may range from zero to an undefined amount depending on performance against the hurdles and the security price at the time of exercise. Grants may be satisfied by a cash equivalent payment rather than stapled securities at the Board’s discretion. |
|---|---|
| Time restriction |
Performance rights will be tested against the performance hurdles at the end of three years. Performance rights that do not vest will be forfeited. |
| Vesting conditions |
Performance rights will be subject to two tests, with half the performance rights subject to one test and the other half subject to the other test. 50% ‐ Total Securityholder Return(TSR) Vesting percentage (for TSR measure) |

GDI PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Other remuneration elements
Clawback
The Board will have on‐going and absolute discretion to adjust performance‐based components of remuneration downwards, or to zero, at any time, including after the grant of such remuneration, where the Board considers such an adjustment is necessary to protect the financial soundness of GDI Property Group, or if the Board subsequently considers that having regard to information which has come to light after the grant of performance rights, the granting of performance rights was not justified.
Hedging and margin lending prohibition
As specified in GDI Property Group’s Security Trading Policy and in accordance with the Corporations Act, equity allocated under a GDI Property Group incentive scheme must remain at risk until exercisable. As such, it will be a condition of grant that no schemes are entered into, either by an individual or their associated persons, which specifically protects the unvested value of performance rights. Doing so would constitute a breach of the grant conditions and would result in the forfeiture of the relevant performance rights.

GDI Property Group considers that the financial measure that most accurately reflects its performance on an annual basis is the ATR test, rather than the often adopted FFO or AFFO test by GDI Property Group’s Comparator Group. The nature of GDI Property Group’s business means that FFO and AFFO will be volatile, particularly where for example GDI Property Group buys properties that are 46% vacant (50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise), or sells assets where management believe the value has been maximised (25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide, 307 Queen Street, Brisbane) and uses the proceeds to reduce gearing. Regardless of the capital structure of GDI Property Group, the assets it holds, or the time of the property cycle, GDI Property Group’s intention is to deliver an ATR of at least 10%p.a. This measure forms the basis of the financial measure in the balanced scorecard (see 5.6.4.2) and one half of the test for LTIs. GDI Property Group has been consistent with this measure and the hurdle rates since IPO in 2013.
However, GDI Property Group also acknowledges that securityholders get rewarded through movements in the security price and distributions. Accordingly, the other half of GDI Property Group’s LTIs is tested against a peer group. Security price performance does not influence the balanced scorecard approach GDI Property Group utilises to determine KMP STIs.
5.6.2 Performance rights issued as part of the IPO (retention rights)
As disclosed in the Prospectus and Product Disclosure Statement for the initial public offer (IPO) of securities in GDI Property Group dated 25 November 2013 (Offer Document), GDI Property Group granted 1.5 million performance rights to employees who were employed at the time the performance rights plan was established and vested three years from the IPO. The principle performance condition was to remain being employed by GDI Property Group at the time the performance rights vested. As all employees that were granted these performance rights remained in employment at the time of vesting, all performance rights (1.5 million) vested. These performance rights were satisfied by GDI Property Group acquiring and transferring 1.5 million securities to employees. These securities are not subject to any escrow or other trading restrictions.

GDI PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
5.6.3 Past issues of LTI
543,124 performance rights were granted as part of GDI Property Group’s FY14 LTI plan. These performance rights were tested three years from issue, at which time they either vested or lapsed. As with the FY17 performance rights, the performance rights are subject to either a TSR test (for 50% of the rights granted) or an ATR test (for 50% of the rights granted).
5.6.3.1 TSR test
As at 30 June 2017, GDI Property Group’s Comparator Group comprised 13 entities (14 including GDI Property Group). Although GDI Property Group’s TSR for the three year period ended 30 June 2017 was 37.91%, it ranked 11[th] out of 14 in the Comparator Group. As GDI Property Group’s TSR did not reach the 50[th] percentile of the TSR of the Comparator Group, all performance rights subject to this test (271,562) lapsed.
5.6.3.2 ATR test
The ATR is determined by the movement in NTA over the vesting period plus distributions, divided by the commencing NTA. This is then divided by the vesting period (in this case three years) to determine the ATR per year.
| Movement in NTAper security | Distributionsper security | Distributionsper security | ATRper security | ATR % | ATR %p.a. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2014 NTA | $0.93 | FY15 | $0.0750 | |||

| FY17 | $0.0775 | |||||
| Total movement | $0.19 | Total distributions | $0.2300 | $0.42 | 45.16% | 15.05% |
As the ATR exceeded the 12% maximum threshold, all performance rights subject to this test (271,562) vested on the signing of this financial report. These performance rights will be satisfied by GDI Property Group acquiring on market 271,562 securities and transferring them to the relevant employees. These securities will not be subject to any escrow or other trading restrictions.

GDI PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Financial
For FY17, the financial measures are split equally between GDI Property Group’s minimum ATR target and meeting or exceeding FFO guidance, as updated from time to time.
| Minimum FY17 | FFO guidance / | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATR target | FY17 ATR | Achieved(Y/N) | security | FFO/security | Achieved(Y/N) |
| 10% | 18.56% | Y | 8.20 cents | 8.46 cents | Y |
Operational
Operational measures for the MD and Disclosed Executives reflect the responsibilities of each role. For example, the Head of Property’s performance is weighted towards asset management and sustainability, whilst the CFO and Joint Company Secretary’s are weighted towards capital management and reporting, risk management and compliance.
During FY17 all KMP exceeded their operational objectives, with particular highlights being:
-
the leasing successes at 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney, and 5 Mill Street, Perth;
-
the sales of 307 Queen Street, Brisbane and 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide;
-
the sale of 80 George Street Parramatta (GDI No. 40 Office Trust) and the consequential 19% IRR to investors; and
-
reducing the principal facility’s gearing to 8%
People and culture
The MD and Disclosed Executives are expected to demonstrate exceptional leadership and commitment, with those that have direct reports also measured by their people management and people development skills. The biggest compliment to the MD and Disclosed Executives is that since IPO no employee has resigned from GDI Property Group. This stable workforce has created a unique culture and the Board has determined to reward those responsible for creating it.
Specific objectives achieved by KMP during the year included
-
progressing the development of staff through both ‘on the job’ and formal training;
-
varying GDI Funds Management’s AFSL to have removed the Key Person requirement, then ensuring that the existing responsible managers were sufficiently qualified to oversee GDI Funds Management’s AFSL authorisations to enable the retirement of Mr Tony Veale as a responsible manager; and
-
the seamless transition of the Mr John Tuxworth on to and Mr Tony Veale from the Board.
Securityholder alignment
To enhance the alignment with securityholders, the N&RC determined that any STI granted to the MD and Disclosed Executives would be split 50% cash, 50% performance rights where the principle performance condition is continued employment (or a good leaver) for three years from the conclusion of the performance year. The expense of these performance rights is incurred over four years, the year to which the performance period relates (FY17) and the three vesting years (FY18, FY19 and FY20). As these performance rights had not been issued by 30 June 2017, GDI Property Group has recognised the fair value of them as an accrual with the cost recognised as an employee benefit expense. Once the rights are issued, the accrual will be reversed with a corresponding increase in the security‐based payments reserve in equity.
Further details of the STI outcomes for the MD and Disclosed Executives are provided in Section 5.7 of this Remuneration Report. The issue of performance rights to the MD is subject to securityholder approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held 16 November 2017.

GDI PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
5.6.5 LTI outcomes
The Board of GDI Property Group considers it is important to both align executive remuneration with securityholders outcomes and to encourage behaviour that supports both entrepreneurism and long term financial soundness within the confines of GDI Property Group’s risk management framework. As a result, GDI Property Group has advised that it will grant performance rights to the MD and Disclosed Executives as part of their annual remuneration package. The issue of performance rights to the MD is subject to securityholder approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held 16 November 2017. The expense of the performance rights relating to the year ended 30 June 2017 is incurred over four years, the year to which the performance period relates (FY17) and the three vesting years (FY18, FY19 and FY20). As the performance rights had not been issued by 30 June 2017, the Group has recognised the fair value of them as an accrual with the cost recognised as an employee benefit expense. Once the rights are issued, the accrual will be reversed with a corresponding increase in the security‐based payments reserve in equity.
Further details of the LTI performance rights granted for the MD (subject to approval) and Disclosed Executives are provided in Section 5.7 of this Remuneration Report.

GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GDI Property Group (the “Group”) was formed by the stapling of GDI Property Group Limited (the “Company”) and GDI Property Trust (the “Trust”). The Responsible Entity of the Trust is GDI Funds Management Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. GDI Property Group was established for the purpose of facilitating a joint quotation of the Company and the Trust on the ASX. The constitutions of the Company and the Trust, together with a Co‐operation Deed dated 25 November 2013, ensure that for so long as the two entities remain jointly quoted, the number of units in the Trust and shares in the Company shall be equal and the unitholders and the shareholders be identical. Both the Responsible Entity of the Trust and the Company must at all times act in the best interests of GDI Property Group. The Company was incorporated on 5 November 2013 and the Trust established on 4 November 2013 and registered as a management investment scheme on 18 November 2013.
The Company has been deemed the parent entity of the Trust. The consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of the Company and its controlled entities, including the Trust and its controlled entities as the deemed acquiree. The financial report includes separate financial statements for:
-
the Group, consisting of the Company, the Trust and their controlled entities; and
-
the Trust, consisting of GDI Property Trust and its controlled entities.
The financial statements are authorised for issue on 21 August 2017 by the directors of the Company and the Responsible Entity of the Trust.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Group is a for‐profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non‐current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
(b) Consolidated financial statements
The Financial Reports of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Trust and its subsidiaries have been presented jointly in accordance with ASIC Class Order 13/1050 relating to combining or consolidating accounts under stapling and for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).
The shares of the Company and the units in the Trust are stapled and issued as stapled securities of the Group. Whilst the shares and units are stapled, they cannot be traded separately and can only be traded as stapled securities. The stapling occurred on 16 December 2013, with trading on the ASX commencing on 17 December 2013.
The stapling has been accounted for pursuant to AASB 3: Business Combinations. The Company has been identified as the acquirer of the Trust whereby the Trust’s net assets are attributed to the trust unitholders. In this regard, the unitholders are treated as the non‐controlling interest in the post‐stapled financial statements of the Group, despite the fact that such owners also have an equal interest in the Company.
(c) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of all controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2017, that is the Company and its subsidiaries and the Trust and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the Group.
35
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Subsidiaries are entities the Group controls. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the controlled entities is provided in Note 31.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of GDI Property Group from the date on which control is obtained. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
(d) Business combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred.
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.
(e) Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:
-
the consideration transferred;
-
any non‐controlling interest (determined under either the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and
-
the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;
over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.
Fair value re‐measurements in any pre‐existing equity holdings are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to GDI Property Group's cash‐generating unit or groups of cash‐ generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored being not larger than an operating segment.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.
36
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect the carrying amounts of goodwill.
(f) Income Tax
(i) Trust
Under current income tax legislation the Trust is not liable to pay tax provided its taxable income and taxable realised capital gains are distributed to unitholders. The liability for capital gains tax that may arise if the properties were sold is not accounted for in this Financial Report.
(ii) Company and other taxable entities
The income tax expense/(income) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred tax expense/(income).
Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities/(assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense/(income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set‐off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where:
-
a legally enforceable right of set‐off exists; and
-
the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(iii) Tax consolidation
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (excluding the Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries) have formed a tax‐ consolidated group with effect from 16 December 2013 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity of the tax‐consolidated group is GDI Property Group Limited.
37
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Current tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax‐consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax‐ consolidated group, using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.
Any current tax liabilities or assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by the head entity in the tax‐consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to (from) other entities in the tax‐consolidated group in conjunction with any funding arrangement amounts referred to below. Any difference in these amounts is recognised by the Company as an equity contribution or distribution.
The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax‐consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits of the tax‐consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Any subsequent period adjustment to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses, as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability, is recognised by the head entity only.
(iv) Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing arrangements
The Company, in conjunction with other members of the tax‐consolidated group, has entered in to a tax funding arrangement, which sets out the funding obligations of the members of the tax‐consolidated group in respect of tax amounts. The tax funding arrangements require payments to/from the Company equal to the current tax liability (asset) assumed by the Company and any tax‐loss/deferred tax asset assumed by the Company, resulting in the Company recognising an inter‐entity receivable (payable) equal in amount to the liability (asset) assumed. The inter‐entity receivable (payable) are at call.
Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable as per the tax funding arrangement and reflect the timing of the Company’s obligation to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities.
The Company, in conjunction with other members of the tax‐consolidated group, has also entered in to a tax sharing arrangement. The tax sharing arrangement provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the Company default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement, as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement is considered remote.
(g) Plant and equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probably that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to GDI Property Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using both the straight line and diminishing values method to allocate costs of assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Depreciation is calculated using both the straight line and diminishi residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows: |
ng values method to allocate costs of assets, net o | f their |
|---|---|---|
| Class | Rate | |
| Furniture and fittings | 2% ‐ | 67% |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
38
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds to the carrying amount. Any gain or loss is included in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
(h) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and tangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.
At each reporting date, and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that any other asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate and an impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Assets other than goodwill that suffer an impairment are viewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(i) Investment property
Investment property is property which is held either to earn income or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property also includes properties that are under construction for future use as investment properties. Investment property is measured at fair value, with acquisition and other related costs written off through the profit and loss. As part of the process of determining fair value, an external, independent valuer, having an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of property being valued, values individual properties annually on a rotation basis or on a more regular basis if considered appropriate and as determined by management and the Board in accordance with the valuation policy of GDI Property Group.
These valuation processes are taken into consideration when determining the fair value of the investment properties. The fair value is based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms‐length transaction after property marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgably, prudently and without compulsion.
The valuations are prepared by considering the capitalisation of net income and the discounting of future cash flows to their present value. These methods incorporate assumptions of future rental income and costs, appropriate capitalisation and discount rates and also consider market evidence of transaction prices of similar investment properties.
Valuations reflect, where appropriate:
-
the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting of vacant accommodation and the market’s general perception of their credit‐worthiness;
-
the allocation of maintenance and other operating cost responsibilities between lessor and lessee; and
-
the remaining economic life of the property.
Further information on assumptions underlying the assessment of fair value is contained below at Note 1 (bb) Critical accounting estimates and judgements and in Note 10, Investment property.
Changes in fair values are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the date of disposal and the net proceeds from disposal and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year of disposal.
39
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Repairs and maintenance costs and minor renewals are charged as expenses when incurred.
Subsequent refurbishment costs (other than repairs and maintenance) are capitalised to the investment property where they result in an enhancement in the future economic benefits of the property.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and cash at bank.
(k) Leases
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of an asset remain with the lessee, but not the legal ownership, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recognising an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the lease property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Lessees may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into non‐cancellable leases. These incentives may take various forms including up‐front cash payments, rent free periods, or a contribution to certain lessee costs such as fit out costs or relocation costs. They are recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position as a component of the carrying amount of investment property and amortised over the lease period as a reduction in rental income.
Initial direct leasing costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position as a component of the carrying amount of investment property and are amortised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
(l) Fair value of assets and liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non‐recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standards.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market‐based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs).
For non‐financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share‐based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this
40
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.
(m) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
(i) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non‐derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Non‐derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.
(n) Derivative financial instruments
The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates and uses interest rate derivatives to hedge these risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re‐measured to fair value at balance date. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative.
The Group enters into interest rate swap agreements that are used to convert certain variable interest rate borrowings to fixed interest rates. The derivatives are entered into with the objective of hedging the risk of adverse interest rate fluctuations. While the Group has determined that these arrangements are economically effective, they have not satisfied the documentation, designation and effectiveness tests required by accounting standards. As a result, they do not qualify for hedge accounting and gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
41
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
(o) Employee benefits
(i) Short‐term employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short‐term employee benefits. Short‐term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short‐term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The Group’s obligations for short‐term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.
(ii) Other long‐term employee benefits
Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long‐term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any re‐measurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long‐term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.
The Group’s obligations for long‐term employee benefits are presented as non‐current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.
(iii) Performance rights plan
The Group has established a performance rights plan and has issued performance rights to employees. Under the performance rights plan, employees will be granted performance rights which will vest into the Group securities at no cost, if vesting conditions are satisfied.
The cost of the issues of performance rights are recognised as an employee benefit expense (for performance rights issued in relation to executive remuneration for the period ended 30 June 2014, and the years ended 30 June 2015, 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2017) or initial public offer costs (for performance rights issued to employees as disclosed in the Prospectus and Product Disclosure Statement dated 25 November 2013 in relation to the Initial Public Offer of GDI Property Group securities). The fair value of the performance rights is recognised in the security‐based payments reserve in equity, or, if the performance rights are yet to be granted, accrued in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and reversed with a corresponding increase in the security‐based payments reserve in equity once the performance rights are granted.
Fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the rights. For relative market performance based vesting conditions, fair value is determined using binomial option pricing to model the performance of GDI Property Group to the selected peer group taking into account individual volatilities and correlations.
For non‐market based vesting conditions, the fair value is determined based on the likelihood of achieving the conditions having reference to budgets and management plans. For non‐market based vesting conditions, at each reporting date the Group revises its estimate of the number of performance rights that are expected to be exercisable and the employee benefit expense recognised each reporting period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of any revision to original estimates is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
42
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
(p) Revenue and other income
(i) Rental revenue
Rental revenue from investment property is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term or until the first contingency (market or CPI review) occurs. Rental revenue not received at reporting date is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable or if paid in advance, as rent in advance (unearned income). Lease incentives granted are considered an integral part of the total rental revenue and are recognised as a reduction in rental income over the term of the lease, on a straight line basis. Contingent rents based on the future amount of a factor that changes other than with the passage of time, including turnover rents and CPI or market linked rental increases, are only recognised when contractually due.
(ii) Funds management revenue
Acquisition and capital raising fee revenue is recognised at settlement of the relevant property or proportionately as the equity interests are issued/sold to external investors as appropriate. Management fee revenue is recognised on a proportional basis over this time as services are performed.
(iii) Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.
Where an asset has been held for syndication with funding provided by GDI Property Trust by way of an at call loan, and the asset is subsequently syndicated, the interest income earned by GDI Property Trust whilst the asset is held for syndication is recognised in both the accounts of GDI Property Trust and the Group.
(q) Property expenses
Property expenses and outgoings include rates, taxes and other property outgoings incurred in relation to investment properties were such expenses are the responsibility of GDI Property Trust and are recognised on an accruals basis.
(r) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non‐current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.
(s) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(t) Borrowing and borrowing costs
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Under this method fees, costs, discounts and premiums directly related to the financial liability are spread over its expected life. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance date.
43
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they are incurred.
(u) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when:
-
the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; and
-
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and
-
the amount has been reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
(v) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.
(w) Rounding of amounts
The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100. Accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.
(x) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other segments. Each segment is reviewed by the entities chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess the performance and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are those that are directly attributable to a segment. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist primarily of operating cash, receivables, investment properties and goodwill. Due to the small size of the management team, corporate overhead expenses and property, plant and equipment are not allocated in reporting to the CODM and therefore for the purpose of segment reporting are unallocated.
(y) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares and units are classified as equity and recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary stapled securities are recognised directly in equity as a reduction, net of tax, of the proceeds of the issue.
44
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
(z) Distributions and dividends
Distributions are paid to GDI Property Group stapled securityholders half yearly. A provision for distributions is made for the amount of any distribution declared on or before the end of the reporting period but not paid to securityholders at the reporting date.
(aa) Earnings per stapled security
Basic earnings per stapled security is calculated as net profit attributable to ordinary securityholders of the Group divided by the weighted average number of ordinary securities outstanding during the financial year. Diluted earnings per stapled security is calculated as net profit attributable to ordinary securityholders of the Group divided by the weighted average number of ordinary stapled securities and dilutive potential ordinary securities. Where there is no difference between basic and diluted earnings per stapled security, the term basic and diluted earnings per stapled security is used.
(ab) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts in the financial reports. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, the results of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The resulting accounting estimates may differ from the actual results under difference assumptions and conditions.
The key estimates and assumptions that have a risk of causing adjustment with the next financial year to the carrying amounts of asset and liabilities recognised in these financial reports are:
(i) Valuation of investment property
Critical judgements are made by the Group in respect of the fair values of investment properties. The fair value of these investments are reviewed regularly by management with reference to external independent property valuations, recent offers and market conditions existing at reporting date, using generally accepted market practices. Then critical assumptions underlying management’s estimates of fair values are those relating to the passing rent, market rent, occupancy, capitalisation rate, terminal yield and discount rate. If there is any change in these assumptions or regional, national or international economic conditions, the fair value of the property investments may differ. Major assumptions used in valuation of the property investments are disclosed in Note 10.
(ii) Valuation of financial instruments
The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are based on assumptions of future events and involve significant estimates. The basis of valuation for the Group’s derivatives are set out in Note 1(n), however the fair values of derivatives reported at 30 June 2017 may differ if there is volatility in market rates in future periods. The valuation techniques are discussed in detail at Note 10 and have been developed in compliance with requirements of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
(iii) Impairment of loans and receivables
Assets are assessed for impairment each reporting date by evaluating whether any impairment triggers exist. Where impairment triggers exist, management reviews the allocation of cash flows to those assets and estimates a fair value for the assets. Critical judgements are made by the Group in setting appropriate impairment triggers for its assets and the assumptions used when determining fair values for assets where triggers exist.
(iv) Security‐based payments
The Group measures the cost of performance rights allocated to employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of performance rights is determined using Black‐Scholes option pricing model and Binomial option pricing models. The related assumptions are detailed in Note 30. The accounting
45
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
estimates and the assumptions relating to performance rights will have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period, but may impact the security based payment expense and equity.
(v) Recoverability of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary difference and unused tax losses as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences and unused tax losses. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits which may lead to impairment of the deferred tax asset.
(vi) Consolidation of entities in which the Group holds less than 50%
Management consider that the Group has de facto control of GDI No. 42 Office Trust even though it has less than 50% of the interests. The Group is the majority unitholder of GDI No. 42 Office Trust with 43.68% interest, while all other unitholders indirectly hold less than 10% of its units. There is no history of other unitholders forming a group to exercise their votes collectively. Entities controlled by the Group also act as Trustee and Investment Manager.

b) Rental guarantee and incentive
GDI Property Group obtained various guarantees over properties that it acquired. In relation to 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney, GDI Property Group could draw on a $6.0 million rental guarantee to satisfy outgoings, market rent, incentives, leasing costs or any other costs relating to the property that it elected for a period of up to 60 months (5 years) from settlement. During the period GDI Property Group drew down the remaining balance of this guarantee ($2.4 million). In relation to 307 Queen Street, Brisbane, GDI Property Group obtained a two year guarantee over vacant space (which expired in December 2015) and the payment of tenant incentives (rebates) on terms consistent with the leases in place at the time of the acquisition. During the period GDI Property Group also drew down the balance of this component of the guarantee.

Valuation basis
The basis of valuation of investment properties is fair value, being the amounts for which the assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar leases. All properties have been independently valued in the last twelve months based on independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property Institute of Valuers.
The table below illustrates the key valuation assumptions used in the determination of the investment properties fair value.
| Valuation basis | 2017 | 2016 |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted average capitalisation rate (%) | 7.32% | 7.55% |
| Weighted average lease expiry by area (years) | 3.6 years | 4.7 years |
| Occupancy | 88.2% | 79.3% |
Ten year discounted cash flows and capitalisation valuation methods are used together with active market evidence. In addition to the key assumptions set out in the table above, assumed portfolio downtime ranges from six to 18 months and tenant retention ranges from 50% to 75%.
c) Assets pledged as security
Borrowings (refer Note 17) are secured by fixed and floating charges over each investment property plus charges over any building document, lease document, performance bond and bank guarantee in addition to a real property mortgage over each property.

The Group acquired from the privately owned GDI group of companies the rights, title and interest in the funds management business, and the shares of the operating companies, for total consideration of $18.5 million. The value of the shares acquired was determined by the net asset value of the relevant company, with the balance ($18.11 million) of the total consideration recognised as goodwill. The acquisition price was supported by an Independent Experts Report.
For subsequent measurement, goodwill is allocated to cash‐generating units which are based on the Group’s reporting segments. The Group has determined that the cash‐generating unit is the funds management business and as per reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), no fee has been assumed to be charged to the Trust by the funds management business. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is determined based on value‐in‐use calculations. Value‐in‐use is calculated based on the present value of the forecast profit after tax from funds established since the acquisition of the funds management business and new funds to be established over a five year term, with a terminal value applied to the forecast sixth year profit after tax. The cash flows are discounted at a 17.5% discount rate.
Management has based the value‐in‐use calculations on the historical performance and future prospects of the Funds Management business as reported to the CODM, taking into consideration the historical rate at which funds are established.

GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
As a result of the value‐in‐use calculation, no impairment of goodwill has been recorded in the Financial Statements.
b) Key assumptions used in valuation assumptions
The following key assumptions were used in the value‐in‐use calculations:
| Terminal value | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2017 | New funds(p.a.) | Fee income | growth rate | Discount rate |
| Funds management segment | FY18: $143.5 | Management fee – 0.65% | 2.0% | 17.5% |
| million, thereafter | and 1.00% | |||
| $51.7 million | Acquisition fee – 2% | |||
| Disposal fee – 2% | ||||
| Terminal value | ||||
| 30 June 2016 | New funds(p.a.) | Fee income | growth rate | Discount rate |
| Funds management segment | $51.7 million | Management fee – 0.65% | 2.0% | 17.5% |
| and 1.00% | ||||
| Acquisition fee – 2% | ||||
| Disposal fee – 2% |
The calculation of value‐in‐use is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
-
the rate at which new funds are established and the size of these funds (property values);
-
fee income;
-
terminal growth rate; and
-
discount rate.
Rate at which new funds are established – based on management’s expectations on the pace and size of new fund establishments, having regard to GDI Property Group’s track record and future prospects. GDI Property Group’s business plan includes launching new unlisted funds with total new AUM of $100 million in each year. However, for the purpose of the value in use calculations, GDI Property Group has used in FY18 $143.5 million, given GDI No. 43 Pty Limited ATF GDI No. 43 Property Trust has exchanged contracts to acquire 6 Sunray Drive, Innaloo, and for FY19 onwards the average amount of AUM raised in FY14, FY15 and FY16.
Fee income – fee income is based on due diligence, management (non‐active fee rate) and disposal fees only, and does not include performance fees, debt arranging fees or any project management fees.
Terminal growth rate – terminal growth rate was determined based on management’s estimate of the long‐term compound annual EBITDA growth rate, consistent with the assumption that a market participant would make.
Discount rate – discount rates reflect management’s estimate of the risks specific to each cash generating unit, in particular in relation to establishing new funds.

Provision for employee benefits
Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.
The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement.
The non‐current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.
In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long service leave being taken is based on historical data. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been discussed in Note 1(o).
NOTE 17 – BORROWINGS

NOTE 23 – SEGMENT REPORTING
a) Identification of reportable segments
Group
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has been identified as the Board of Directors as they are responsible for the strategic decision making within the Group. The following summary describes the operations in each of the GDI Property Group’s operating segments:
| Operatingsegments | Products/Services |
|---|---|
| Property investment | Investment and management income producing properties |
| Funds management | Establishment and management of property investment vehicles |
The Board assesses the performance of each operating sector based on FFO and AFFO. FFO is a global financial measure of the real estate operating performance after finance costs and taxes, adjusted for certain non‐cash items. AFFO adjusts FFO for incentives paid during the year and maintenance capital expenditure. The Directors consider FFO to be a measure that reflects the underlying performance of the Group. GDI Property Group’s FFO comprises net profit/loss after tax calculated in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and adjusts for property revaluations, impairments, derivative mark to market impacts, amortisation of tenant incentives, straight line rent adjustments, gain/loss on sale of assets, rental guarantees and performance fees charged that remain unpaid.
Trust
The Trust operates in predominately one operating segment being property investment.
b) Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
- (i) Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.
(ii) Intersegment transactions
-
Corporate and administration costs other than direct expenses are not allocated to divisions for segment reporting purposes; and
-
There is no revenue recorded by the funds management business from managing the Trust for segment reporting purposes.

NOTE 28 – CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Capital risk management
GDI Property Group’s capital management strategy is to maximise securityholders returns through active capital management whilst mitigating the inherent risks associated with both debt and equity.
In determining the appropriate mix of debt and equity, GDI Property Group reviews both commercial and regulatory considerations:

- Financial risk management
GDI Property Group’s Gearing Policy is to target a Loan to Value ratio of less than 40%. GDI Property Group is able to manage its capital through a number of means, including but not limited to:
-
asset recycling;
-
new debt financing;
-
issuing new stapled securities;
-
adjusting the level of distributions paid to securityholders; and
-
active management of interest rate exposures.
Capital and interest expense risk management is monitored in two main ways, having reference to the covenants on the principal facility:
| Boardpolicy | 2017 | 2016 | Bank covenant | 2017 | 2016 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVR1 | < 40% | 8% | 32% | < 50% | 8% | 36% |
| ICR2 | > 2.5X | 5.4X | 4.6X | > 2X | 5.4X | 4.6X |
-
Bank covenant LVR is total debt (including net derivative exposures) divided by the value of the properties as determined by the last independent valuation.
-
Bank covenant ICR is EBIT/Interest expense and for the year ended 30 June 2017, Initial Public Offer costs and acquisition expenses have been reversed from the EBIT calculation.

Financial risk management
The financial risks that result from GDI Property Group’s activities are credit risk, liquidity risk, refinancing risk and market risks (interest rates). GDI Property Group manages it exposure to these key financial risks in accordance with its risk management policy and focuses on mitigating the impact of volatility in financial markets.
GDI Property Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, borrowings and interest rate hedge derivatives. The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows:
See Note 1(m) for how GDI Property Group classifies financial assets and liabilities.
a) Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non‐performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group or Trust.
Credit risk arises principally from GDI Property Group’s and the Trust’s receivables from customers and amounts due from the leasing of premises in accordance with lease agreements with property tenants. The Group and the Trust have a diverse range of customers and tenants and therefore there is no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties.
The Board has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before GDI Property Group does business with them. The Group and the Trust request security deposits or bank guarantees from new tenants in order to secure the premises and tenants are invoiced monthly in advance. Ongoing checks are performed by management to ensure settlement terms detailed in individual contracts are adhered to.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is equivalent to the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Group and the Trust typically hold bank guarantees or cash from tenants equivalent to six month rent as security. There are no significant financial assets that have had renegotiated terms that would otherwise have been past due or impaired.
Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in Australian financial institutions. Interest rate derivative counterparties are also Australian financial institutions.
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are detailed in Note 7.

b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial instruments.
GDI Property Group believes that prudent risk management requires maintaining sufficient cash reserves and finance facilities to meet the ongoing operational requirements of the business. It is GDI Property Group’s policy to maintain sufficient funds in cash and undrawn finance facilities to meet the expected near term operational requirements.
GDI Property Group also monitors the maturity profile of borrowings and puts in place strategies designed to ensure that all maturing borrowings are refinanced within required timeframes.
The weighted average debt maturity of GDI Property Group is 1.41 years (2016: 2.03 years).
Contractual maturity of financial liabilities (borrowings and payables) of GDI Property Group, including interest, is as follows:
| follows: | ||

| 111,945 382,378 |
110,740 381,087 |
c) Market risk
i. Interest rate risk
GDI Property Group’s interest rate risk primarily arises from borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose GDI Property Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowing issued at fixed rates expose GDI Property Group to fair value interest rate risk. GDI Property Group’s policy is to maintain hedging arrangements on not less than 50% of drawn borrowings through the use of derivative contracts and/or other arrangements and to diversify the maturity dates of those fixed rate arrangements. At balance date, 81% (2016: 47%) of GDI Property Group’s primary facility’s borrowings were effectively hedged. None of the debt of GDI No. 42 Office Trust is hedged.
GDI Property Group manages its cash flows interest rate risk by using interest rate derivatives. Such interest rate derivatives have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating interest rates to fixed interest rates. Generally, GDI Property Group raises long term borrowings at floating rates and hedges a portion of them into fixed or capped rates. Under the interest rate derivatives, GDI Property Group agrees with other counter parties to exchange, at specified intervals the difference between contract rates and floating rates interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.
69
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
GDI Property Group’s and GDI Property Trust’s borrowings are the same.
At balance date, the expiry profile of GDI Property Group’s interest rate derivatives is shown below:
| Effective | ||
|---|---|---|
| Notional | average | |
| Principal | fixed rate | |
| $'000 | % | |
| ExpiryDecember 2018(FY19) | 40,000 | 3.84% |
| Average | 40,000 | 3.84% |
Because GDI Property Group’s interest rate derivatives do not meet the accounting requirements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment, gains or losses arising from changes in fair value have been reflected in the profit or loss.
Information on borrowings and the maturity profile of borrowings (including interest) is provided in Note 17.
Sensitivity
At balance date, if interest rates for all relevant time periods had changed by +/‐ 100 basis points (1%) from the year/period ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 rates with all other variables held constant, profit would have been higher/(lower) as shown below:

NOTE 29 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
a) Valuation techniques
The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:
-
Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
-
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value.
-
Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions
70
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
b) Financial instruments
The following table represents a comparison between the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities:
| 30 June 2017 Carrying Amount Fair Value $'000 $'000 |

| Total financial liabilities | 111,001 111,001 |
355,529 355,529 |
c) Fair value hierarchy
The Group and Trust measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition:
-
Derivative financial instruments; and
-
Investment properties.
The Group and Trust do not subsequently measure any other liabilities (other than derivative financial instruments) at fair value on a non‐recurring basis.
AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
| significant to the measurement can be c | ategorised into as follows: | |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| Measurements based on quoted | Measurements based on inputs other | Measurements based on |
| prices (unadjusted) in active markets | than quoted prices included in Level 1 | unobservable inputs for the asset or |
| for identical assets or liabilities that | that are observable for the asset or | liability. |
| the entity can access at the | liability, either directly or indirectly. | |
| measurement date. |
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.
The following tables provide the fair values of the Group and Trust’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised on a recurring basis after initial recognition and their categorisation within the fair value hierarchy:

NOTE 30 – SECURITY‐BASED PAYMENTS
GDI Property Group has established a performance rights plan under which employees (including the Managing Director) of GDI Property Group may be offered performance rights representing an entitlement to acquire stapled securities, subject to meeting certain performance conditions as determined by the Board and, in the case of the Managing Director, subject to receipt of stapled securityholder approval. The performance rights and stapled securities allocated under the performance rights plan are intended to be allocated free of charge provided that the relevant performance conditions are met.
72
GDI PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2017
a) Retention performance rights
GDI Property Group offered 1.5 million performance rights to people who are employed by a member of GDI Property at the time the performance rights plan was established. The sole performance condition attaching to these performance rights is that the employee remains employed by a member of GDI Property Group for three years from completion of the IPO (16 December 2016). The Managing Director did not participate in this issue of performance rights. During the period, all 1.5 million performance rights vested.
b) STI performance rights
For the year ended 30 June 2017, the Board determined that 50% of any STI granted to a KMP would be by way of performance rights where the sole performance condition is that the employee remains employed by a member of GDI Property Group for three years from the conclusion of the performance period (30 June 2020). As these performance rights had not been issued at 30 June 2017, the Group has recognised in the financial statements the fair value of the performance rights as an accrual with the cost expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The total number of STI performance rights to be issued for 30 June 2017 will be 609,146, with 279,878 granted to the Managing Director subject to securityholder approval.
c) LTI performance rights
For the year ended 30 June 2017, GDI Property Group intends to offer 1,806,094 performance rights to all staff, with 765,460 offered to the Managing Director subject to securityholder approval. As these performance rights had not been issued at 30 June 2017, the Group has recognised in the financial statements the fair value of the performance rights as an accrual with the cost expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
The performance conditions that relate to the LTI performance rights for previous years and the year ended 30 June 2017are identical and are summarised below:
