Principal activities

The principal activities of Goodman during the course of the financial year were investment in directly and indirectly held industrial property, fund management, property services and development management. The principal markets in which the Consolidated Entity operated during the financial year were Australia and New Zealand, Asia, Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. In June 2012, the Consolidated Entity entered an agreement focused on the development of, and investment in, prime quality logistics and industrial facilities in North America.

Reconciliation of operating profit to profit attributable to Securityholders

Whilst operating profit is not an income measure under International Financial Reporting Standards, the Directors consider it is a useful means through which to examine the underlying performance of the business.

The reconciliation of operating profit to profit attributable to Securityholders for the year can be summarised into four groups of reconciling items:

    • property valuation movements (incorporating adjustments in respect of stabilised and development properties held directly on Goodman's balance sheet and also within funds managed by Goodman);
    • non-property related impairments;
    • fair value movements in derivative financial instruments and foreign exchange gains or losses on interest bearing liabilities not qualifying for net investment hedging; and
    • other non-cash or non-recurring items (principally the share based payments expense but also, in the current financial year, a \$7.5 million reclassification from the foreign currency translation reserve in relation to the Singapore entities that were wound up during the current financial year).

This summarised reconciliation is as follows:

Consolidated
2012 2011
\$M \$M
463.4 383.9
(6.6) 16.0
(21.5) (26.2)
5.1 35.1
(32.1) (16.8)
408.3 392.0
  1. Operating profit comprises profit attributable to Securityholders adjusted for property valuations, non-property impairment losses, derivative and foreign currency mark to market and other non-cash or non-recurring items.

The detailed reconciliation, including note references to the financial statements, is set out in the table below:

State of affairs

Key changes in Goodman's state of affairs during and subsequent to the financial year were as follows:

(a) Stapled security consolidation

On 12 April 2012, following Securityholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 March 2012, the Consolidated Entity completed the consolidation of every five stapled securities into one stapled security.

(b) Conversion of preference securities issued to China Investment Corporation

On 23 December 2011, China Investment Corporation (CIC) converted \$150.0 million preference securities to 68,181,818 (restated) ordinary stapled securities at a price of \$2.20 (restated) per stapled security.

On 25 June 2012, CIC converted \$125.0 million preference securities to 55,555,555 ordinary stapled securities at a price of \$2.25 (restated) per stapled security.

(c) Capital management initiatives

During the year, Goodman continued to focus on capital management initiatives at both a Consolidated Entity and a managed fund level. In particular:

    • following Moody's upgrade to Goodman's senior unsecured rating to Baa2, the Consolidated Entity completed a further issue of US\$500.0 million of ten year senior unsecured notes in the United States 144A/Reg S bond market;
    • Goodman European Logistics Fund completed a €351.0 million rights issue and secured a new €800.0 million debt package;
    • Goodman Australia Industrial Fund completed a US\$300.0 million United States unsecured note issue to institutional investors with 10 and 12 year maturities;
    • Goodman China Logistics Holding Limited increased its equity commitment to US\$500.0 million and secured a new US\$100.0 million five year facility; and
    • Arlington Business Parks Partnership (ABPP) completed a five year extension and entered into a new five year £350.0 million banking facility. In facilitating the extension of ABPP, one of the investors sought £48.0 million of liquidity which has been provided by Goodman and another investor and as a consequence Goodman's unitholding in ABPP increased to 43.0%.

(d) Restructure of Goodman

On 30 March 2012, Securityholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Consolidated Entity authorised the Board to undertake an internal restructure of Goodman by adding a new Hong Kong incorporated company, Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited, to the existing Goodman stapled structure and make amendments to the Goodman Constitutions. The proposed restructure using a Hong Kong domiciled company reflects Goodman's evolution of the business, resulting in more active (management) income relative to passive (rental) income in its offshore markets. It is also expected that this will improve access to the global debt and equity capital markets.

As at the date of signature of this Directors' report, all of the conditions for the restructure of Goodman have been satisfied or waived and it is expected that the restructure will be implemented on 22 August 2012.

(e) Employees Provident Fund

On 13 June 2012, Goodman and Malaysia's Employees Provident Fund established a fund in Australia, KWASA Goodman Industrial Trust, with an initial portfolio of approximately A\$400.0 million, comprising six stabilised logistics property assets. Goodman holds a 40% interest in the fund and will provide management services to the portfolio on terms generally consistent with arrangements across its existing fund management platform.

(f) North America

During June 2012, Goodman entered into an agreement with California based Birtcher Development & Investments (Birtcher), focused on the development of, and investment in, prime quality logistics and industrial facilities in key locations across North America.

As at the date of signature of this Directors' report, Goodman and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) confirmed the launch of a new logistics and industrial partnership called Goodman North America Partnership (GNAP). Goodman and CPPIB have targeted an equity amount of US\$890.0 million on a 55/45 basis respectively. Four development sites, which have already been secured by Goodman, are to be offered to GNAP, two in the Inland Empire (Los Angeles area), Oakland (San Francisco Bay area) and Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia), with in excess of 900,000 square metres of gross lettable area and a combined total completion value of more than US\$700.0 million (A\$700.0 million).

Strategy and outlook

Goodman's business strategy is to be the leading international provider of industrial property and business space to leading global customers in each of the markets in which the Consolidated Entity operates. Goodman's integrated "own+develop+manage" customer service model is a driving principle in the Consolidated Entity's operations. Goodman's integrated "own+develop+manage" customer service model is a driving principle in the Consolidated Entity's operations. The Directors believe that this business model is both relevant for the contemporary operating environment and sustainable into the future.

The Consolidated Entity's "own+develop+manage" customer service model is intended to allow the Consolidated Entity to build an in-depth understanding of customer needs and to assist the Consolidated Entity in providing access to quality information on portfolio performance and market dynamics. The Consolidated Entity believes its ability to establish a better understanding of its customers' needs allows for better customer management opportunities and enables the Consolidated Entity to provide a more tailored property management service. Goodman strives to meet the requirements of its customers "in-house" through the repositioning of existing assets or via the development of new pre-leased sites, while the "in-house" property management team works efficiently to satisfy customer needs.

The Consolidated Entity seeks to create value through expansion, both organically and through strategic acquisitions, while enhancing returns through the active management of its property portfolio. The cornerstone of this strategy is a substantial portfolio (including both directly-owned property and cornerstone investments in Goodman managed funds) of quality industrial and business space assets, coupled with the Consolidated Entity's integrated property platform. Goodman looks to enhance its return on property investments with property and fund management income and development profits.

Development is an important component of the Consolidated Entity's business strategy, because it drives portfolio growth with the expansion of existing customers and the procurement of new customers and provides a source of investment products for the Goodman managed funds. The Consolidated Entity's current strategy is to ensure that the majority of developments are conducted within or for Goodman managed funds.

The Consolidated Entity believes that its ability to recycle capital in this way, coupled with the Consolidated Entity's ability to utilise third party capital invested in Goodman managed funds, enables it to grow development and investment activity and earnings outside of the Consolidated Entity's traditional Australian markets. Through cornerstone investments in Goodman managed funds, the Consolidated Entity intends to align its interests with those of the funds' investors and believes that it is able to foster long-term relationships with the funds' investors. By attracting a group of key global investors, the Consolidated Entity aims to secure sources of funding for Goodman managed funds and the Consolidated Entity's joint ventures, allowing for the expansion of the Consolidated Entity's business without needing to fund such expansion entirely with the Consolidated Entity's balance sheet.

The growing contribution from the active components of Goodman's business, being its development and management activities, coupled with the strength of its Asian and European businesses and its entry into new markets will ensure the Consolidated Entity is well positioned to achieve solid earnings growth in the year ending 30 June 2013. Accordingly, Goodman is forecasting a full year operating profit of \$524 million.

Further information as to other likely developments in the operations of the Consolidated Entity and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in the consolidated financial report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Consolidated Entity.

Remuneration report – audited

The remuneration report outlines the Board's remuneration policies for key management personnel and other senior executives and explains further the relationship between remuneration policy and Goodman's financial and operational performance. In addition, this report discloses the remuneration details for key management personnel. Key management personnel are defined as those employees who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Goodman.

Summary of key Goodman remuneration principles

The Consolidated Entity's remuneration policy is aligned with and supports the business strategy. This strategy revolves around the "own+develop+manage" business model and growing the business in selected new markets in a prudential manner. Where the business is performing optimally, net property income which is relatively stable will be supplemented by stronger active income from management and development. Accordingly, the remuneration policy includes variable "at risk" pay elements that are generally aligned to the active income to meet key performance targets.

Set out below is a summary of key remuneration principles. A more detailed overview is included later in this report.

    • Remuneration includes a fixed (or base) component, short-term incentives (STI) in the form of discretionary cash bonuses and long-term incentives (LTI) in the form of equity.
    • Fixed pay is set at competitive levels for the market where the role is performed so as to attract and retain suitably qualified or experienced employees.
    • STI are intended to be awarded only when key financial metrics are met or exceeded at a Consolidated Entity level and individual key performance targets are met or exceeded. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board retain discretion on the final determination of STI awards in cases of exceptional individual or divisional performance, where the Consolidated Entity's financial metrics may not have been met. Conversely, cases may exist where the Consolidated Entity's financial metrics have been achieved and the Board uses its discretion to withhold STI as it did for example in the 2008 and 2009 financial years because of poor total securityholder returns.
    • For employees, effective remuneration each year is the cash amount of the base pay and any STI. There is also the potential for future benefits to be received from grants under the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) but these are subject to longer-term testing periods that require consistent high performance and to the extent that value is received it would be in circumstances of strong returns for Securityholders.
    • The Consolidated Entity's LTIP enhances alignment of the interests of employees and Securityholders through a relative TSR hurdle and cumulative target operating EPS hurdle over a three year period. However, as each grant is split into three tranches, and vesting requires the employee to remain employed by the Consolidated Entity, the effective timeframe of each grant ranges over three to five years and employees remain exposed to the continued consequences of their decisions and actions and security price performance. Where the business is performing strongly as a result of the contribution of employees, LTI grants are also likely to have a desirable retention effect.

During that period, the Group Chief Executive Officer's base pay has remained constant, STI has been awarded in four of the last six financial years, being those financial years where both operating profit was on target and TSR was positive. LTI is shown where securities have vested during the financial year and is calculated as the market price of securities on the ASX at close of trading on the date the securities were exercised, after deducting the price paid or payable to exercise the securities. Post 2007, no LTI awards have vested and been exercised as this requires consistent strong performance of the Consolidated Entity over the entire testing period for the relevant performance hurdles. It is noted that LTI will vest during the year ending 30 June 2013 as a result of the consistent strong performance in each of the financial years ended 30 June 2010, 2011 and 2012.

The total of the short term remuneration awarded in the form of fixed base pay and STI to Mr Gregory Goodman in respect of the current financial year was \$4.2 million (2011: \$3.5 million). In respect of the awards made under the LTIP, no cash (2011: \$nil) was received by Mr Gregory Goodman during the current financial year.

Notes in relation to the table of Directors' remuneration

  1. The Non-Executive Directors have not increased their base fees since the 2008 financial year, and in the case of the Chairman of the Board, his fees were reduced during the current financial year. Salary and fees include amounts payable to the Non-Executive Directors for their participation on various Board sub-committees and these subcommittee fees were increased from 1 July 2011.

Salary and fees represents the amounts due to the Directors under the terms of their service agreements and does not reflect any salary sacrifice elections by the Directors. Salary and fees for Mr Gregory Goodman includes movements in annual leave provisions during the financial year.

    1. The bonus awarded to Mr Gregory Goodman is in accordance with the bonus policy and based on both his individual performance and the performance of the Consolidated Entity.
    1. Other includes reportable fringe benefits, car parking and per diem allowances and changes in long service leave.
    1. For the current and prior financial year, the value attributed to performance rights is based on the Consolidated Entity's accounting policy of amortising the value of the share based payment awards over the vesting periods, and therefore does not take into account awards made subsequent to the financial year end with respect to performance in the year ended 30 June 2012.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Board, based on advice from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (the Committee), has developed policies dealing with fixed pay, STI and LTI. The role of the Committee in setting these policies is set out below.

The Committee meets as required to consider and recommend to the Board remuneration policy and to recommend specific remuneration arrangements for Non-Executive Directors, the Group Chief Executive Officer, key management personnel, and senior employees. In addition, the Committee considers general remuneration policy issues which have a bearing upon all employees across the Consolidated Entity.

The Committee is also responsible for the oversight of specific remuneration aspects including STI, LTI, superannuation/pension entitlements, termination payments and remuneration policy review and development. In 2012, the Committee supported and approved the Group's Diversity Strategy and oversaw a succession planning exercise for key operational roles within the Group.

Members of the Committee during the financial year were:

    • Mr Phillip Pryke (Independent Chairman of the Committee);
    • Mr Ian Ferrier (Independent Member); and
    • Ms Anne Keating (Independent Member).

The Committee has adequate resources and the appropriate authority to discharge its duties and responsibilities and directly engages with external consultants, proxy advisers and major investors.

The Committee members' attendance record is disclosed on page 3 in this Directors' report.

Further information relating to the scope and activities of the Committee is available on Goodman's website and the Corporate Governance section of the Annual Report.

Summary of key Goodman remuneration principles

Set out below is a summary of key remuneration principles. This is followed by a more detailed overview.

    • Remuneration includes a fixed (or base) component, STI in the form of discretionary cash bonuses and LTI in the form of equity.
    • Fixed pay is set at competitive levels for the market where the role is performed so as to attract and retain suitably qualified or experienced employees.
    • STI awards are intended to be made only when key financial metrics are met or exceeded at a Consolidated Entity level. The Committee and the Board retain discretion on the final determination of STI awards in cases of exceptional individual or divisional performance, where financial metrics may not have been met. Conversely, cases may exist where financial metrics have been achieved and the Board uses its discretion to withhold incentives.
    • The Consolidated Entity's LTIP enhances alignment of the interests of employees and Securityholders and serves as a long-term retention mechanism as the effective timeframe from initial date of issue to the vesting of the final tranche is five years.
    • Non-Executive Directors are paid a fixed fee plus consideration for Board Committee responsibilities. The amounts are outlined in the relevant table in this report. The approved Securityholder pool for directors' fees is currently \$2.5 million per year; however, the actual remuneration paid to the Non-Executive Directors in the current financial year was \$1.6 million (being \$0.9 million under the approved amount).

Overview of remuneration policies

The design and introduction of competitive remuneration strategies that effectively incentivise employees and reward superior performance are vital. Goodman's remuneration policies strive to be innovative, to reward exceptional performance, to provide compelling incentive for high performing employees to remain employed with Goodman and to ensure alignment of individual risk taking behaviour with the acceptable standards within the Consolidated Entity. Remuneration packages for executives include a mix of fixed remuneration, short-term performance based remuneration and longer-term equity based remuneration. The remuneration structures are designed to attract and retain suitably qualified candidates and to align executive performance with the objective of increasing Goodman's earnings and TSR.

The Consolidated Entity's policy is that remuneration levels for employees are reviewed annually at the close of each financial year, and factors including individual performance against financial and non-financial key performance indicators, validation against local market remuneration levels and overall financial performance of Goodman are considered in assessing whether changes to remuneration levels or wider policy settings should occur. This annual review of remuneration occurs to ensure the Consolidated Entity continues to attract and retain appropriately experienced Directors and employees. The Committee obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration for Directors and senior executives and directly engages external and independent professionals to advise on relevant matters to assist with validation of remuneration levels.

Any STI awards should recognise exceptional performance against clearly outlined and measureable performance criteria. It is important to note that senior management and the Committee retain discretion within the performance bonus methodology to vary any amount of an award based on other relevant factors. LTI provides significant incentive for employees to drive long-term high performance, remain employed with Goodman and ensure optimal alignment of individual objectives with those of Securityholders.

As referred to in 2011, work had been undertaken by Hay Consulting on comparative job sizing for senior roles within Goodman. During the current financial year, the Committee supplemented this analysis by engaging Ernst & Young to provide market data which the Committee used to validate STI and LTI ranges across the Consolidated Entity.

Liaison with proxy advisers and major investors - unaudited

In addition, during the current financial year, the Chairman of the Committee engaged directly with proxy advisers and major investors to understand their viewpoint on issues relating to remuneration. The Committee considers that this is an important aspect of its work and the Committee has evaluated the issues raised in a systematic manner. The most commonly asked questions and the Committee's response to those questions are set out below:

Should STI payments be deferred?

The Committee's view is that awards of STI should not be deferred on the basis that longer-term employee retention and alignment with Securityholder interests are provided for by the LTIP. Furthermore, STI is awarded to recognise the achievement of key performance indicators in relation to a particular financial year and deferral would reduce the effectiveness of such awards.

Should the operating EPS performance hurdle for the LTIP include a stretch component?

In determining the targets for the vesting conditions and acknowledging the significantly enhanced ability to forecast and budget due to the recovery in the business, the Committee recognised that the target performance can be increased to incorporate a stretch component. As a result of these factors and based on internal and external feedback, the Committee determined that the concept of a single operating EPS target provided a sufficient, clear and compelling incentive for employees to outperform and therefore there is no stretch target in the 2011 and 2012 issues of performance rights.

Should the relative TSR and operating EPS performance hurdles under the LTIP allow for graduated vesting of awards?

The Committee considers that an LTIP performance hurdle based on the achievement of a cumulative operating EPS target, which results in the vesting of 100% of the operating EPS tranche on achieving this target but nil vesting if the target is not achieved, provides a compelling incentive for executive management to meet the target given the punitive effect on remuneration where the target is not met. This is also aligned with the likely impact on Securityholder returns if Goodman's operating profit targets are not achieved.

Remuneration report – audited (cont)

Remuneration policies

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of a base remuneration package which includes cash, non-cash benefits including the full cost of any related fringe benefits tax charges, plus any salary sacrificed employer contributions to superannuation and pension funds. Remuneration levels for senior employees are reviewed annually by the Committee, via recommendation by the Group Chief Executive Officer, through a process that considers individual, divisional and overall performance of the Consolidated Entity and remuneration movements in competitor companies and the wider market. Senior executives' remuneration may also be reviewed by the Committee on individual appointment or in cases where a change in job scope warrants additional remuneration.

Under the Consolidated Entity's remuneration policy for key management personnel, there is an emphasis on performance-linked remuneration. The Board has decided that notwithstanding the considerable change in the size and scale of the business and the role of the Group Chief Executive Officer in recent years, the fixed pay element of his remuneration will again remain unchanged.

Performance-linked remuneration

Employees are reviewed for eligibility to be awarded short-term and long-term performance-linked remuneration annually. It is important to note that senior management and the Committee retain considerable discretion to award performance-linked remuneration in consideration of multiple factors such as individual achievement against key performance indicators, Consolidated Entity or divisional results and general market conditions.

(a) Short-term incentive

The STI is a cash bonus for individual performance compared to objectives set for a relevant financial year. STI is awarded based on performance against key performance indicators and is a clear and more effective element of remuneration when it is paid in a single payment following completion of the consolidated financial statements to which it relates.

The Committee recommends a potential bonus pool based on an assessment of target individual bonuses across the Consolidated Entity, referenced against market data for similar roles. As part of the budgeting process, this bonus pool is incorporated into the determination of target operating profit.

Importantly, the accrual of a bonus pool is fundamentally dependent on meeting a target operating profit (refer to page 5). To the extent achieved, individual allocations are then made based on an assessment by senior executives and the Group Chief Executive Officer of each individual's performance and contribution to the Consolidated Entity's performance and the individual's performance in meeting their key performance indicators. The Committee is responsible for reviewing these recommended allocations, determines allocations for key management personnel and recommends to the Board for approval the allocation to the Group Chief Executive Officer.

As referred to above, STI payments are made to eligible employees upon the achievement of agreed key performance indicators that relate to both financial and non-financial criteria. During the current financial year, key management personnel, including the Group Chief Executive Officer, have been awarded STI reflecting their performance and contribution to the business. The Committee considered that the achievements of the Group Chief Executive Officer and the senior executives in relation to various strategic initiatives, such as sourcing new investment capital, creating strategic partnerships and establishing the North American platform, represented an overall performance that exceeded the agreed key performance indicators, and accordingly additional STI has been awarded relative to that for the 2011 financial year. A summary of the achievements during the year ended 30 June 2012 is set out below:

    • meeting key financial metrics, including Consolidated Entity operating profit;
    • strong development performance in key markets of Europe and Asia;
    • attracting new investment capital such as the establishment of a global relationship with Malaysia's Employee Provident Fund, completing a €351.0 million rights issue in Goodman European Logistics Fund and negotiating a five year fund extension for Arlington Business Parks Partnership;
    • other capital management initiatives in both the Consolidated Entity and the managed funds which allowed gearing and liquidity levels to be maintained within target ranges and the upgrading by Moody's of Goodman issuer and senior unsecured ratings to Baa2. These initiatives included:
  • − issuing a further US\$500.0 million of ten year senior unsecured notes in the US 144A/Regulation S bond market for the Consolidated Entity;
  • − numerous bank refinance initiatives, including a new €800.0 million debt package for Goodman European Logistics Fund; and
  • − completing a US\$300.0 million private placement issue in Goodman Australia Industrial Fund;
    • implementation of several process improvement initiatives; and
    • enhancing and establishing the Goodman platform and brand in key global markets such as Japan and North America.

Remuneration policies (cont)

(b) Long-term incentive

The LTI provides equity based remuneration through the opportunity to issue either performance rights or options (including cash equivalents in certain jurisdictions). The purpose of LTI is to achieve enhanced alignment of the interests of employees and Securityholders by matching rewards under LTI with the long-term growth and prosperity of Goodman and all employees of Goodman are eligible to participate.

The LTIP, which provides for the issue of performance rights, was approved at the Annual General Meeting on 30 November 2009. Each performance right issued under the LTIP entitles an employee to acquire a Goodman stapled security for nil consideration subject to the achievement of performance hurdles over a three year period (refer below). In order to derive the full benefits of an award, an employee must remain employed over a five year vesting period. The LTIP also provides for the issue of options, though this has not been utilised to date. If options were to be issued, it would entitle an employee to acquire a Goodman stapled security on payment of the exercise price for the option, subject to the vesting conditions having been satisfied.

The Committee considers that performance rights are an effective equity incentive because the perceived value and incentive to the employee remain tangible over the term of the instrument, subject to meeting performance hurdles. This differs from options where there may be a loss of perceived value and incentive to employees when there is little or no difference between the market price and the strike price. The Committee has taken account the greater value of performance rights compared to options when making awards of performance rights.

At this stage, the Committee does not intend to deviate from its policy of issuing performance rights rather than options. The benchmarking of LTI ranges provided by Ernst & Young in the current financial year indicated that performance rights are the most common form of LTI amongst listed companies within Australia.

Number of performance rights

In calculating the number of performance rights issued to the Group Chief Executive Officer and the senior executives, the Board allocates a notional value to each of the executives and the derives a number of performance rights using an adjusted five day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) immediately following the approval of the prior year's financial report.

LTI performance hurdles

The LTIP uses two different performance hurdles tested over a three year financial period following the award of performance rights.

One performance hurdle is based on operating EPS. Operating EPS is based on the operating profit and is determined on a fully diluted basis having regard to exchangeable securities on issue. It is assessed by the achievement of an aggregate operating EPS over three consecutive financial years. This hurdle measures the direct contribution of employees to the financial performance of Goodman. Strong performance in operating EPS generally correlates with stronger returns to Securityholders through distributions and security price increases, but this may be impacted by other market factors and conditions.

A further performance hurdle is relative TSR, which aligns vesting outcomes for employees with the returns to Securityholders assessed against a comparator group. Goodman continues to consider that the S&P/ASX 200 index remains the most appropriate comparator group on the basis that it is sufficiently broad to include a sample of businesses with geographic diversity and business complexity to compare with the Consolidated Entity's performance.

The issue of the appropriate comparator groups has been discussed by the Committee in 2012 following proxy adviser and major investor feedback. The Committee considers that the A-REIT index should not be adopted, as it does not reflect the breadth of the global fund management and development businesses of the Consolidated Entity. The Committee also considers that Goodman competes for investment capital alongside the companies within the ASX 200 and therefore should be compared with this group.

To ensure further long-term alignment and retention, vesting is in three equal tranches in years three, four and five, assuming that the performance hurdles have been achieved and the individual remains employed by Goodman.

For the 2012 issue, the weighting of the performance hurdles has been maintained such that 75% of each award is tested against operating EPS and 25% against relative TSR.

(b) Long-term incentive (cont)

Under the terms of the LTIP and decisions made by the Board in accordance with the plan, issues of performance rights to employees during the current financial year are subject to the following broad terms and conditions:

    • the exercise of performance rights will be conditional on the Consolidated Entity achieving:
  • − a TSR in excess of that achieved by 50% of listed entities in the S&P/ASX 200 index; and/or
  • − a cumulative operating EPS outcome at least at the target level notified to the market over a three year 'testing period';
    • 100% vesting of the relative TSR tranche (25% of total) will occur where Goodman achieves a TSR score over three years at or above the 76th percentile of that achieved by S&P/ASX 200 entities; nil vesting will arise if a TSR score at or less than the 50th percentile is achieved; 50% vesting will arise if a TSR score at the 51st percentile is achieved; and proportional vesting will arise for scores between the 51st and 75th percentiles;
    • 100% vesting of the operating EPS tranche (75% of total) will occur if Goodman achieves an aggregate annual operating EPS target over the three year vesting period; and nil vesting applies if the aggregate annual target earnings is not achieved over the three year vesting period;
    • subject to the above hurdles, performance rights vest in three equal tranches approximately three, four and five years after grant and for the award relating to performance in the year to June 2012 following results on 1 September 2013, 2 September 2014 and 3 September 2015;
    • continued employment by the employee (subject to special circumstances e.g. death, total and permanent disability, redundancy or retirement); and
    • performance rights lapse on the earlier of approximately five years from the offer or the termination of the employee's employment (unless such termination is due to special circumstances).

In addition, under a sub-plan, the majority of Australian based employees are also permitted to receive up to \$1,000 of restricted Goodman stapled securities under guidelines issued by the Australian Taxation Office. The allotment of these securities was made under the Goodman Tax Exempt Plan, as approved by the Board.

Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in the LTIP and no performance rights or options over stapled securities have been issued to Non-Executive Directors in the current financial year.

The Board's policy set out in the Securities Trading Policy is that no Director or employee may enter into any arrangement to limit their exposure to risk in relation to unvested performance rights, options or securities issued under an employee incentive plan. In accordance with their terms of engagement, Directors and employees are required to comply with the Consolidated Entity's policies.

Remuneration and past financial performance

Set out below is a general discussion of the Board's remuneration policies and how they relate to the Consolidated Entity's earnings and the consequences of the Consolidated Entity's performance on Securityholder wealth.

The Consolidated Entity reported an operating profit for the current financial year of \$463.4 million, compared to previous financial year of \$383.9 million, and the 2010 financial year of \$310.0 million.

Historical performance for TSR and operating EPS over the past five financial years for Goodman is as follows:

  1. The operating EPS for the financial years prior to 2012 have been adjusted for the consolidation of securities. Details of the consolidation are set out in note 20 to the consolidated financial report.

  2. The TSR (sourced from Bloomberg) is based on the distributions paid to Securityholders and the security price movement during each financial year and assumes Securityholders reinvested distributions. The calculated TSR is compared to the TSR of other entities in the S&P/ASX 200 for the purpose of determining the relative TSR performance hurdle under the LTIP.

  3. Operating EPS is the operating profit divided by the weighted average number of securities in issue during the year.

Remuneration and past financial performance (cont)

As can be seen from the table setting out historical performance for TSR and operating EPS, over the past five financial years for the Consolidated Entity, TSR was negatively impacted, particularly by the financial markets events of the 2009 financial year. With Goodman's strategic initiatives and recapitalisation, announced in August 2009, TSR rebounded in the 2010 financial year and operating EPS was rebased from which a recovery has commenced, evidenced by performance in the current and prior financial years.

The impact of these events and the Consolidated Entity's performance have been taken into account by the Board, the Committee and senior management in determination of remuneration policy and its application in respect of fixed, STI and LTI elements. In summary, in response to greater market uncertainty fixed costs have been kept as tight as reasonably possible, and STI has only been paid to senior executives when earnings targets have been met and Securityholders enjoyed positive returns. LTI awards granted in the 2009 and prior financial years have either been forfeited or will lapse as performance conditions were not met.

Impact on fixed pay

The Consolidated Entity responded to the increasing market uncertainty and TSR losses that arose in the 2008 and 2009 financial years by focusing on the fixed cost element in the business. Since that time, the executive key management personnel and other senior executives (including the Group Chief Executive Officer) have not had increases in fixed pay unless a significant change to their role and responsibilities has occurred. Similarly, the Non-Executive Directors have not increased their base fees since the 2008 financial year, and in the case of the Chairman of the Board, his fees were reduced during the current financial year.

Impact on STI

A key determinant of bonus pools for allocation to individuals during the period was the generation of operating profit to at least the target level. Despite having met the operating profit target, it was determined that no STI should be paid to senior executives for the 2008 financial year having regard to the TSR in that year. Nor was STI paid in the 2009 financial year having regard to operating profit target and TSR.

Since the 2010 financial year, the Consolidated Entity has met or exceeded operating profit targets for the creation of bonus pools and senior executives have been awarded and paid STI. Over this period, Securityholders have also benefited as evidenced by TSR.

Impact on LTI

LTIP grant for the 2010 financial year

As discussed above, 50% of the grant for the 2010 financial year (FY10) is tested against an operating EPS hurdle and 50% against a relative TSR hurdle. The performance period for each hurdle was the three years from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2012 and accordingly the Board reports on the satisfaction of these hurdles.

A feature of the FY10 LTIP award was to incorporate a target and "stretch target" in the operating EPS tranche. The stretch target was included in the 2010 financial year to reflect, in part, the volatility and uncertainty in the market and the way the business would respond to this. However, as the business normalised, it became apparent that the stretch target undermined the operating EPS target and created ambiguity.

In respect of the operating EPS tranche, the actual performance over the performance testing period is set out below:

Target operating

  1. The comparative operating EPS figures have been adjusted for the consolidation of securities. Details of the consolidation are set out in note 20 to the consolidated financial report.

Remuneration report – audited (cont)

Remuneration and past financial performance (cont)

As the three year aggregate operating EPS to 30 June 2012 was greater than the operating EPS including stretch, 100% of the performance rights relating to the operating EPS tranche will vest in the period from September 2012 to September 2014, subject to executives remaining employed by Goodman.

In respect of the relative TSR tranche, the Consolidated Entity is assessed against the S&P/ASX 200 and over the three year period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity provided a TSR of 31.6% per annum which placed it at the 89th percentile. This has resulted in the relative TSR performance hurdle being achieved, such that 100% will vest over the period from September 2012 to September 2014, subject to executives remaining employed by Goodman.

Accordingly, based on the achievement of both the operating EPS and relative TSR performance hurdles, 100% of the FY10 grant of performance rights will vest into Goodman securities, and will be delivered to eligible employees in three tranches on an annual basis commencing from 3 September 2012. Employees must be employed on each of the three delivery dates in September 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively to retain entitlement to the vested Goodman securities.

LTIP grant for the 2011 financial year

As discussed above, 75% of the grant for the 2011 financial year (FY11) is tested against an operating EPS hurdle and 25% against a relative TSR hurdle. The performance period for each hurdle is the three years from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2013 and accordingly the Board reports on progress for the two completed financial years to date.

In determining the targets for the vesting conditions and acknowledging the significantly enhanced ability to forecast and budget due to the recovery in the business, the Committee recognised that the target performance can be increased to incorporate a stretch component. As a result of these factors and based on internal and external feedback, the Committee determined that the concept of a single operating EPS target provided a sufficient, clear and compelling incentive for employees to outperform and therefore there is no stretch target in the 2011 and 2012 issues of performance rights.

In respect of the operating EPS tranche, the actual operating EPS for FY11 was 28.3 cents against a target operating EPS of 27.5 cents and the actual operating EPS for the 2012 financial year (FY12) was 30.5 cents against a target operating EPS of 30.0 cents. If the aggregate over the three financial years is above the target over the three financial years, 100% of that tranche will vest. However, this remains subject to meeting the operating EPS target of 32.3 cents for the year ending 30 June 2013 (FY13).

In respect of the relative TSR tranche, the Consolidated Entity is assessed against the S&P/ASX 200 and over the two year period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity provided a TSR of 12.7% per annum which would place it at the 70th percentile. If this was the final assessment it would result in 88% vesting of that tranche. However, as noted above, the relative TSR tranche is assessed against the performance over the three financial years so the final outcome will depend on the Consolidated Entity's performance against the market in FY13.

LTIP grant for the 2012 financial year

As discussed above, 75% of the FY12 grant is tested against an operating EPS hurdle and 25% against a relative TSR hurdle. The performance period for each hurdle is the three years from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2014 and accordingly the Board reports on progress for the first completed year to date.

In respect of the operating EPS tranche, for FY12 the actual operating EPS was 30.5 cents against a target operating EPS of 30.0 cents. If the aggregate over the three financial years is above the target over the three financial years, 100% of that tranche will vest. However, this remains subject to meeting the operating EPS target of 32.3 cents for FY13 and the target to be set for the year ending 30 June 2014 (FY14).

In respect of the relative TSR tranche, the Consolidated Entity is assessed against the S&P/ASX 200 and over the one year period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity provided a TSR of 7.3% per annum which would place it at the 68th percentile. If this was the final assessment, it would result in 84% vesting of that tranche. However, as noted above, the relative TSR tranche is assessed against the performance over the three financial years so the final outcome will depend on the Consolidated Entity's performance against the market in FY13 and FY14.

Service agreements

Senior executives

All employees are engaged under written employment agreements that provide for usual conditions of employment applying in the industry, including the need for compliance with specific policies of the Consolidated Entity such as its Code of Conduct and Human Resource Policies.

Goodman has agreed specific notice of termination periods in the employment contracts of senior executives ranging from six to twelve months. Statutory entitlements such as accrued leave are payable in the usual course on termination.

As at the date of signature of this Directors' report, the notice periods of the Group Chief Executive Officer and the named executives are as follows:

Notice period
Company Employee
Executive director
Mr Gregory Goodman 12 months 12 months
Executives
Mr Anthony Rozic 6 months 6 months
Mr Nick Kurtis 6 months 6 months
Mr Nick Vrondas 6 months 6 months
Mr Jason Little 6 months 6 months
Mr Philip Pearce 6 months 6 months
Mr Danny Peeters 12 months 12 months

Consistent with local practice in Belgium, Mr Danny Peeters provides his services through a management company, DPCON Bvba.

Non-Executive Directors

Total remuneration payable by Goodman to all Non-Executive Directors in aggregate, must not exceed \$2.5 million per annum, being the amount approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 16 November 2006. Remuneration is determined on the basis of benchmarking data from external advisers about fees paid to nonexecutive directors of comparable companies.

The fees payable to Non-Executive Directors have not increased since 1 July 2007 and from 1 July 2011, the Chairman agreed that his fees should be reduced from \$586,000 per annum to \$500,000 per annum, with no additional amounts paid for Board Committee membership. During the year ended 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity appointed two new Non-Executive Directors and one Non-Executive Director resigned. Non-Executive Directors' fees for the financial year were \$1.6 million (2011: \$1.8 million) which takes into account amounts paid for committee membership, chairing of committees and compulsory contributions to superannuation. All Non-Executive Directors must act as a member of at least one Board Committee.

While Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in any STI or LTI schemes, the Consolidated Entity does have a Directors' Securities Acquisition Plan under which Directors are required to accumulate a significant long-term holding of stapled securities equal in value to twice their annual base fees. The value of securities for this purpose equals the higher of purchase cost or market value at the end of each financial year. This holding may be acquired at any time but where not held at the beginning of a financial year, 25% of net base fees during the financial year must be applied to the on-market purchase of securities.

Analysis of bonuses included in the remuneration

Details of the Consolidated Entity's policy in relation to the proportion of remuneration that is performance related is discussed on pages 18 to 20. No bonuses were forfeited during the financial year. Bonuses may not be paid in the event that an individual ceases employment through resignation.

Share based payments included as remuneration

Share based payments in the financial report refer to three types of share schemes that the Consolidated Entity has used since 2005. These schemes are:

    • performance rights over Goodman stapled securities issued under the LTIP. These rights have been issued in both the current and prior financial year;
    • options over Goodman stapled securities issued under the EOP. Options under the EOP were issued to employees in the 2008 and 2009 financial years but the return on equity performance hurdles attached to these options have not been achieved. No options were granted either during or since the end of the current financial year; and
    • Goodman stapled securities issued under the Employee Securities Acquisition Plan (ESAP). As the interest bearing loans granted to employees under the ESAP are limited recourse, the value of this feature of the loan is accounted for as an option. Securities under the ESAP were issued to employees in the 2006 to 2008 financial years. All the securities granted under the ESAP were either forfeited in the current financial year as the performance hurdles attached to the securities had not been achieved or expired.

Mr Danny Peeters 500,000
  1. The actual number of performance rights will be determined subsequent to the date of the consolidated financial report and may differ from the numbers disclosed above.

Options over Goodman stapled securities issued under the EOP

All options expire on the earlier of their expiry date or termination of the individual's employment (subject to special circumstances). The options are exercisable in three equal tranches from the end of each of years three, four and five after the grant date. As the performance hurdles have not been met, all options under the EOP have been forfeited.

Goodman stapled securities issued under the ESAP

The offers under the ESAP expire on the earliest of performance conditions not being met, their expiry date or termination of the individual's employment (subject to special circumstances).

All securities under the ESAP were either forfeited or expired unexercised during the current financial year.

Modification of terms of equity settled share based payment transactions

The terms of the Consolidated Entity's share based payments were not altered or modified by Goodman during the current financial year.

Exercise of options and rights over Goodman stapled securities

No rights under the LTIP, no options under the EOP and no securities under the ESAP previously granted as compensation were exercised in the financial year by the key management personnel.

The value of performance rights under the LTIP issued in the financial year was the fair value of the performance rights calculated at grant date using a combination of the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend yield and a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 200 stocks, and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present value.

During the financial year, there were no issues or exercises of either options under the EOP or securities under the ESAP to the key management personnel.

The values of the options under the EOP that lapsed during the financial year were \$nil, as the exercise prices of the various grants were significantly greater than the security price at the date the options lapsed.

The values of the securities granted under the ESAP that lapsed during the financial year were \$nil, as the exercise prices of the various grants were significantly greater than the security price at the date the securities under the ESAP lapsed.

Environmental regulations

The Consolidated Entity has policies and procedures in place that are designed to ensure that, where operations are subject to any particular and significant environmental regulation under a law of Australia, those obligations are identified and appropriately addressed. The Directors have determined that there has not been any material breach of those obligations during the financial year.

Indemnification and insurance of officers and auditors

Goodman has insured current and former directors and officers of the Consolidated Entity in respect of directors' and officers' liability and legal expenses. The Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors' and officers' liability and legal expenses insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of those contracts. The auditors of the Consolidated Entity are not indemnified in any way by this insurance cover.

Non-audit services

During the financial year, KPMG, the Company's auditor, performed certain other services in addition to its statutory duties. The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the financial year to the Company and its controlled entities by the auditor and, in accordance with written advice authorised by a resolution of the Audit Committee, resolved that it is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the financial year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

    • all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
    • the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Details of the amounts paid to KPMG and its related practices for the audit and non-audit services provided during the financial year to the Company and its controlled entities are set out below. In addition, amounts paid to other auditors for the statutory audit have been disclosed.

1 Statement of significant accounting policies

Goodman Limited (Company or Parent Entity) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2012 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together Goodman or Consolidated Entity) and Goodman's interests in associates and joint venture entities.

Statement of compliance

This consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) form the basis of Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the AASB. The consolidated financial report also complies with IFRS.

The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian dollars and was authorised for issue by the Directors on 10 August 2012.

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial report are set out below:

(a) Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial report

The consolidated financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis, subject to any impairment of assets, except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at fair value:

    • investment properties;
    • derivative financial instruments;
    • financial instruments classified as available for sale; and
    • liabilities for cash settled share based payment arrangements.

(b) Principles of consolidation

Accounting for the acquisition of control of Goodman Industrial Trust

The stapling of the Company and Goodman Industrial Trust (GIT) was approved at separate meetings of the respective Shareholders and Unitholders on 25 January 2005. Following approval of the stapling, shares in the Company and units in GIT were stapled to one another and are quoted as a single security on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Both the responsible entity of GIT and the Company must at all times act in the best interest of the Consolidated Entity.

Australian Accounting Standards require an acquirer to be identified and an in-substance acquisition to be recognised. In relation to the merger of the Company and GIT, the Company is identified as having acquired control over the assets of GIT. To recognise the in-substance acquisition, the following accounting principles have been applied:

    • no goodwill is recognised on acquisition of GIT because no direct ownership interest was acquired by the Company in GIT;
    • the equity issued by the Company to Unitholders to give effect to the transaction is recognised at the dollar value of the consideration payable by the Unitholders. This is because the issue of shares by the Company was administrative in nature rather than for the purpose of the Company acquiring an ownership interest in GIT; and
    • the issued units of GIT are not owned by the Company and are presented as non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Entity notwithstanding that the Unitholders are also the Shareholders by virtue of the stapling arrangement. Accordingly, the equity in the net assets of GIT has been separately identified in the statement of financial position and the profit or loss arising from those net assets has been separately identified in the income statement.

Business combinations

All business combinations occurring on or after 1 July 2009 are accounted for by applying the acquisition method.

For every business combination, the Consolidated Entity identifies the acquirer, which is the combining entity that obtains control of the other combining entities or businesses. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Consolidated Entity takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgement is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control has passed from one party to another.

(b) Principles of consolidation (cont)

Measuring goodwill

The Consolidated Entity measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as at the acquisition date.

Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Consolidated Entity to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Consolidated Entity. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration and share based payment awards of the acquiree that are replaced mandatorily in the business combination.

Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability of the acquiree is recognised in a business combination only if such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably.

Non-controlling interest

The Consolidated Entity measures any non-controlling interest at its proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets of the acquiree.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs that the Consolidated Entity incurs in connection with a business combination, such as legal fees, due diligence fees and other statutory, professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Accounting for acquisitions of non-controlling interests

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders and therefore no gain or loss and no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions.

Controlled entities

Controlled entities are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company at 30 June 2012 and the results of all such entities for the year ended 30 June 2012.

Where an entity either began or ceased to be controlled by the Company during the financial year, the results of that entity are included only from or to the date control commenced or ceased.

Associates

Associates are those entities over which the Consolidated Entity exercises significant influence but not control over their financial and operating policies. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. Under this method, the Consolidated Entity's share of post-acquisition gains or losses of associates is recognised in the consolidated income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition movements in both profit or loss and reserves are adjusted against the cost of the investment.

Joint ventures

A joint venture is either an entity or operation that is jointly controlled by the Consolidated Entity.

Joint venture entities

In the consolidated financial statements, investments in joint venture entities are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in joint venture entities are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount.

The Consolidated Entity's share of the joint venture entity's net profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement from the date joint control commences to the date joint control ceases. Movements in reserves are recognised directly in the consolidated reserves.

Joint venture operations and assets

The Consolidated Entity's interests in unincorporated joint ventures and jointly controlled assets are brought to account by including its proportionate share of assets and liabilities and the Consolidated Entity's revenue and expenses from the sale of its goods or services on a line-by-line basis from the date joint control commences to the date joint control ceases.

(b) Principles of consolidation (cont)

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Unrealised gains and losses and inter-entity balances resulting from transactions with or between controlled entities are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Unrealised gains resulting from transactions with associates and joint venture entities, including those relating to contributions of non-monetary assets on establishment, are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity's interest. Unrealised gains relating to associates and joint venture entities are eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, unless they evidence an impairment of an asset.

(c) Revenue recognition

Gross property income

Gross property income comprises rental income entitlements under operating leases, net of incentives provided, plus recoverable outgoings.

Rental income entitlements under operating leases are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. Where operating lease rental income is recognised relating to fixed increases in rentals in future years, an asset is recognised. This asset is a component of the relevant investment property carrying amount. The cost of lease incentives provided to customers is recognised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as a reduction of gross property income.

Recoverable outgoings are recognised as income when the relevant outgoings are recorded as an expense.

Rendering of services

Fee income derived from fund management and property services is recognised progressively as the services are provided. Any performance related fund management income is recognised on attainment of the performance related conditions.

Development income

Development income comprises fee income from development management contracts and income from fixed price construction contracts.

Fee income from development management services is recognised progressively as the services are provided in proportion to the stage of completion by reference to costs incurred.

Certain development management arrangements are assessed as being fixed price construction contracts rather than a rendering of services. Revenue and expenses relating to construction contracts are recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the relevant contracts. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total costs for each contract. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Finance income

Interest is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method, and, if not received at balance date, is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable.

Dividends and distributions

Dividend income is recognised when a dividend has been declared and, if not received at balance date, is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable. Dividends are recognised net of any franking credits.

Distributions are recognised when they are declared by the distributing entities and before deduction of any withholding tax. Any non-recoverable withholding tax is included in income tax.

(d) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

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

Transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated to each entity's functional currency at rates approximating to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at the balance date are translated at the rates of exchange ruling on that date. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated at rates of exchange applicable at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items which are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Translation of controlled foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated into Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates applicable at the balance date.

Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates for the financial year. Exchange differences arising on translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal or partial disposal of the operations.

Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.

Exchange rates used

The following exchange rates are the main exchange rates used in translating foreign currency transactions, balances and financial statements to Australian dollars:

Weighted average As at 30 June
Australian dollar (AUD) to 2012 2011 2012 2011
New Zealand dollar (NZD) 1.2832 1.3048 1.2771 1.2953
Hong Kong dollar (HKD) 8.0227 7.6968 7.8899 8.3336
Chinese yuan (CNY) 6.5572 6.5548 6.4651 6.9228
United States dollar (USD) 1.0317 0.9892 1.0191 1.0739
Japanese yen (JPY) 81.1330 82.0961 80.8900 86.3300
Euro (EUR) 0.7709 0.7249 0.8092 0.7405
British pounds sterling (GBP) 0.6513 0.6214 0.6529 0.6667

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations

The portion of the gain or loss on an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(e) Intangible assets

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method (refer to note 1(b)). The Consolidated Entity measures goodwill arising on a business combination as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as at the acquisition date.

Goodwill

Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses (refer to note 1(m)). No amortisation is provided. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the related cash-generating units monitored by management. Where the recoverable amount of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

In respect of associates and joint venture entities, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss that might arise forms part of this carrying amount.

(e) Intangible assets (cont)

Management rights

As distinct from goodwill, management rights acquired as part of a business combination are recognised if the asset is separable or arises from contractual or other legal rights, and its fair value can be measured reliably. Management rights, including indefinite life contracts to manage assets, are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Where management rights are for an indefinite term or where renewal of rights is routinely renewed at minimal cost, no amortisation is provided but the rights are subject to an annual impairment test (refer to note 1(m)). Where management rights are for a finite period, they are amortised on a straight-line basis over that term.

(f) Investment properties

Investment properties comprise investment interests in land and buildings held for the purpose of leasing to produce rental income and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are carried at their fair value.

Components of investment properties

Land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) comprising investment properties are regarded as composite assets and are disclosed as such in the consolidated financial report. Investment properties are not depreciated as they are subject to continual maintenance and regularly revalued on the basis described below. Taxation allowances for building, plant and equipment depreciation are claimed by trusts within the Consolidated Entity and are declared as tax deferred components of distributions.

Investment property carrying values include the costs of acquiring the properties and subsequent costs of development, if applicable. Where a contract of purchase includes a deferred payment arrangement, the acquisition value is determined as the cash consideration payable in the future, discounted to present value at the date of acquisition. Costs of development include the costs of all materials used in construction, costs of managing the project, holding costs and borrowing costs incurred during the development period.

Amounts provided to customers as lease incentives and assets relating to fixed rental income increases in operating lease contracts are included within investment property values. Lease incentives are amortised over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. The amortisation is applied to reduce gross property income.

Expenditure on direct leasing and tenancy costs is deferred and included within investment property values. Direct leasing and tenancy costs are amortised over the term of the lease in proportion to the rental income recognised in each financial year.

Stabilised investment properties

Stabilised investment properties are completed investment properties that are capable of earning rental income. An independent valuation of stabilised investment properties is obtained at least every three years to use as a basis for measuring the fair value of the properties. The independent registered valuers determine the market value based on market evidence and assuming a willing, but not anxious, buyer and seller, a reasonable period to sell the property, and the property being reasonably exposed to the market.

At each balance date occurring between obtaining independent valuations, the Directors review the carrying value of the Consolidated Entity's investment properties to be satisfied that, in their opinion, the carrying value of the investment properties reflects the fair value of the investment properties at that date. Changes in fair value are recognised directly in the income statement. The net of unrealised revaluations from investment properties is transferred to the asset revaluation reserve from retained earnings.

Investment properties under development

Investment properties under development include land, new investment properties in the course of construction and investment properties that are being redeveloped. Property under development for future use as an investment property is measured at fair value.

Deposits for investment properties

Deposits and other costs associated with acquiring investment properties that are incurred prior to the Consolidated Entity obtaining legal title are recorded at cost and disclosed as other assets in the statement of financial position.

Disposal of investment properties

The disposal of an investment property is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. The gain or loss on disposal of investment properties is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the property at the time of the disposal and the proceeds on disposal (less transaction costs and any provision for future rental guarantees) and is included in the income statement in the period of disposal. On disposal, the balance of previously unrealised gains or losses for the individual properties included in the asset revaluation reserve is transferred to the capital profits reserve.

(g) Plant and equipment

Leasehold improvements and items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives to the Consolidated Entity. The estimated useful lives used for each class of asset are as follows:

Plant and equipment Useful lives
Leasehold improvements 4 - 10 years
Plant and equipment 2 - 5 years

Refer also to note 1(l) in respect of leased plant and equipment.

(h) Inventories

Inventories relate to land and property developments that are held for sale or development and sale in the normal course of the Consolidated Entity's business. Where property developments are forecast to be completed and sold more than 12 months after the balance sheet date then the inventories are classified as non-current.

Work in progress in relation to land subdivision and development projects includes the costs of acquisition, planning, management and development and holding costs such as interest and taxes. Work in progress is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(i) Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial assets

The Consolidated Entity initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Consolidated Entity is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Consolidated Entity has legal right to offset the amounts and intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise and trade and other receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

Available for sale financial assets

Available for sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale and that are not classified in any of the previous categories of financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses (refer to note 1(m)), are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the asset revaluation reserve in equity. When such an asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

Available for sale financial assets comprise investments in equity securities (other financial assets).

(i) Financial instruments (cont)

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Consolidated Entity initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial liability when the contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Consolidated Entity has legal right to offset the amounts and intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Consolidated Entity classified non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Other financial liabilities comprise interest bearing liabilities, bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables.

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Consolidated Entity's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement.

Issued capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares of the Company are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to issues of ordinary shares and options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Hybrid securities

Certain controlled entities of GIT have issued hybrid securities that meet the definition of equity for the purpose of the Consolidated Entity. Accordingly, hybrid securities have been classified as equity and presented as other non-controlling interests. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of hybrid securities are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging

The Consolidated Entity uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its economic exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks arising from operating, investing and financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Consolidated Entity does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Effective 1 July 2009, the Consolidated Entity amended its financial risk management policy (refer to note 30) such that derivative financial instruments are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and accordingly such derivative financial instruments have movements in their fair value recognised in the income statement.

In prior years, the Consolidated Entity designated derivative financial instruments as a hedge of an anticipated interest transaction only when they would be expected to reduce exposure to the risks being hedged; and were designated prospectively so that it was clear when an anticipated transaction had or had not occurred; and it was probable the anticipated transaction would occur as designated.

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that were previously designated and qualified as cash flow hedges were recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve. The gain or loss relating to any ineffective portion was recognised in the income statement.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in the cash flow hedge reserve at that time remains in the reserve and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in the cash flow hedge reserve is recognised in the income statement.

(j) Construction contract receivables

Construction contract receivables, which are presented in receivables in the statement of financial position, are stated at cost plus profit recognised to date less an allowance for foreseeable losses and less progress billings. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred, relating to the Consolidated Entity's construction contract activities based on normal operating activity.

(k) Finance costs

Expenditure incurred in obtaining debt finance is offset against the principal amount of the interest bearing liability to which it relates, and is recognised as a finance cost on an effective yield basis over the life of the facility or until the facility is significantly modified. Where a facility is significantly modified, any unamortised expenditure in relation to that facility and incremental expenditure incurred in modifying the facility are recognised as a finance cost in the financial year in which the significant modification occurs.

Finance costs relating to a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset using a weighted average cost of debt. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use or sale. All other finance costs are expensed using the effective interest rate method.

(l) Leased assets

Leases under which the Consolidated Entity assumes substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases.

Finance leases

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

Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Operating lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense and are spread over the term of the lease.

(m) Impairment

Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity's assets (except investment properties, refer to note 1(f); inventories, refer to note 1(h); and deferred tax assets, refer to note 1(p)) are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the asset is written down to the recoverable amount. The impairment is recognised in the income statement in the reporting period in which it occurs.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, unless an asset has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation, with any excess recognised through the income statement.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the goodwill allocated to cash-generating units (group of units), then to the carrying amount of any identified intangible asset and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

Financial assets

A financial asset is assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the financial asset is written down to the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate, or in the case of an available for sale financial asset, to its fair value. The impairment is recognised in profit or loss in the reporting period in which it occurs.

When a decline in the fair value of an available for sale financial asset has been recognised directly in equity and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in equity is transferred to profit or loss. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of the Consolidated Entity's receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these financial assets). Receivables with a short duration are not discounted.

(m) Impairment (cont)

Impairment of receivables is not recognised until objective evidence is available that a loss event has occurred. Significant receivables are individually assessed for impairment.

The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell, and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Reversals of impairment

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

An impairment loss in respect of an investment in an equity instrument classified as available for sale is not reversed through profit or loss. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Impairment losses, other than those referred to above, are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount.

Where a group of assets working together supports the generation of cash inflows, the recoverable amount is assessed in relation to that group of assets.

In assessing recoverable amounts of non-current assets, the relevant cash flows are discounted to their present value.

(n) Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale

Non-current assets that are expected to be recovered through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets are measured in accordance with the Consolidated Entity's accounting policies. Thereafter, the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount, and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

(o) Provisions

A provision is recognised when there is a legal, equitable or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the timing or amount of which is uncertain.

If the effect is material, a provision is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (adjusted for expected future risks) required to settle the obligation at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability most closely matching the expected future payments. The unwinding of the discount is treated as part of the expense related to the particular provision.

Dividends/distributions payable

Provisions for dividends/distributions payable are recognised in the reporting period in which the dividends/distributions are declared for the entire undistributed amount regardless of the extent to which they will be paid in cash.

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Consolidated Entity from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Consolidated Entity recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Rental guarantees

A provision for rental guarantees is recognised when it is expected that the Consolidated Entity will be obliged to make payments in the future to meet rental income targets guaranteed to third parties under the terms of asset disposal contracts. The provision is measured at the present value of the estimated future payments.

(p) Income tax

Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not accounted for:

    • goodwill;
    • the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and
    • differences relating to investments in controlled entities to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities in respect of investment properties held at fair value are calculated on the presumption that the carrying amount of the investment property will be recovered through sale. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Additional income taxes that arise from dividends/distributions are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividends/distributions.

GIT

Under current Australian income tax legislation, GIT is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, provided that Securityholders are presently entitled to the distributable income of GIT as calculated for trust law purposes. Tax allowances for building and plant and equipment depreciation are distributed to Securityholders in the form of tax deferred components of distributions. Any taxable capital gains are distributed.

(q) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST (or value added tax in certain jurisdictions), unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

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 taxation authority 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 taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(r) Segment reporting

The Consolidated Entity reports the results and financial position of its operating segments based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer in order to assess each segment's performance and to allocate resources to them.

An operating segment is a component of the Consolidated Entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. All operating segments' operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the Group Chief Executive Officer include items that are directly attributable to a segment and the portion that can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items include fair value adjustments and impairments, interest and tax expense, interest bearing receivables and payables, derivative financial instruments, provision for distributions to Securityholders, provisions for distributions on hybrid securities, corporate assets, head office expenses and income tax assets and liabilities.

(s) Employee benefits

Wages, salaries and annual leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date represent present obligations resulting from employees' services provided to the balance date. These are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Consolidated Entity expects to pay as at balance date including related on-costs, such as workers' compensation insurance and payroll tax.

Long-term service benefits

The Consolidated Entity's net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits, other than defined benefit superannuation funds, is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior financial year. The obligation is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates, and is discounted to reflect the estimated timing of benefit payments.

Defined contribution superannuation funds

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as incurred.

Defined benefit superannuation funds

A liability or asset in respect of a defined benefit superannuation fund is recognised in the statement of financial position, and is measured as the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance date less the fair value of the superannuation fund's assets at that date. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on expected future payments which arise from membership of the fund to the balance date, calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the balance date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited directly to equity.

Share based payment transactions

The fair value of rights and options over stapled securities at the grant date is expensed with a corresponding increase in the employee compensation reserve. The share based payments expense is calculated over the period to the vesting date and is adjusted to reflect the actual number of rights or options for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The fair values of rights and options are measured at grant date using a combination of Monte Carlo simulations and binomial pricing models.

Prior to 30 June 2008, the Consolidated Entity offered Australian based employees the opportunity to participate in the Employee Securities Acquisition Plan (ESAP). On consolidation, the cost of the ESAP securities is recognised as treasury securities. These securities are treated as ordinary issued securities only when these securities under the ESAP have been exercised. During the current financial year, the securities issued under the ESAP lapsed and the treasury securities were disposed.

(t) Earnings per Company share/security

The Consolidated Entity presents basic and diluted earnings per Company share on the face of the income statement. Basic earnings per Company share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the Shareholders by the weighted average number of Company shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per Company share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to the Shareholders and weighted average number of Company shares outstanding for all dilutive potential Company shares, which comprise performance rights issued under the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and securities contingently issuable on conversion of hybrid securities.

As stated in note 1(b), the issued units of GIT are presented as a non-controlling interest, and therefore the profit attributable to GIT is excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per Company share presented on the face value of the income statement. Therefore, the Directors also disclose a basic and diluted earnings per stapled security in note 3.

(u) Parent Entity financial information

The financial information for the Parent Entity, Goodman Limited, disclosed in note 32 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below:

Investments in controlled entities, associates and joint venture entities

Investments in controlled entities, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Goodman Limited. Dividends received from associates and joint venture entities are recognised in profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

Tax consolidation

The Company is the head entity in a tax consolidated group comprising all Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries (this excludes GIT and its controlled entities). The head entity recognises all of the current tax assets and liabilities of the tax consolidated group (after elimination of intra-group transactions).

The tax consolidated group has entered into a tax funding arrangement that requires wholly-owned subsidiaries to make contributions to the head entity for current tax assets and liabilities arising from external transactions during the financial year. Under the tax funding arrangements, the contributions are calculated on a "stand-alone basis" so that the contributions are equivalent to the tax balances generated by external transactions entered into by wholly-owned subsidiaries within the tax consolidated group. The timing of contributions reflects the timing of the head entity's obligations to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities. The assets and liabilities arising under the tax funding arrangement are recognised as inter-company assets and liabilities with a consequential adjustment to income tax expense/revenue.

Financial guarantees

Where the Parent Entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of controlled entities for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

(v) Australian Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective

As at the date of this consolidated financial report, the following new Australian Accounting Standards which are expected to have significant effect on the Consolidated Entity's financial statements were available for early adoption at 30 June 2012 but have not been applied in preparing these financial statements:

    • AASB 9 Financial Instruments includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 will become mandatory for the Consolidated Entity's 30 June 2016 financial statements. Retrospective application is generally required.

    • AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements introduces a new approach to determining which investees should be consolidated. AASB 10 will become mandatory for the Consolidated Entity's 30 June 2014 financial statements and retrospective application is required. Based on the application guidance issued to date, the Consolidated Entity has made an assessment of the impact of the new accounting standard on its principal equity accounted investments and does not consider that the application of AASB 10 will result in any material change to those investees that are consolidated. This conclusion arises because for the majority of Goodman's managed funds, the power to direct the activities that significantly affect the returns of the managed funds lies with either an investor committee, comprised of a majority of non-Goodman investor representatives, or an independent board;
    • AASB 11 Joint Arrangements includes new requirements for the classification and disclosures of joint ventures and replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures. The AASB has also issued AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011), which supersedes AASB 128 Investments in Associates (2008). These accounting standards will become mandatory for the Consolidated Entity's 30 June 2014 financial statements. The Consolidated Entity has not yet determined the potential effect of the standards;
    • AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities sets out the required disclosures for interest in entities that are subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Application of this standard by the Consolidated Entity will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the Consolidated Entity's investments. AASB 12 will become mandatory for the Consolidated Entity's 30 June 2014 financial statements;

In accordance with Australian Securities & Investments Commission Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998, the amounts shown in the consolidated financial report have been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

2 Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions concerning the application of accounting policies and the future to be made by the Consolidated Entity. Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The accounting impacts of revisions to estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

(a) Investment property values

Stabilised investment properties

Stabilised investment properties refer to investment properties which are not under development. Stabilised investment properties are carried at their fair value. Fair value is based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar lease and other contracts. The current price is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgably, prudently and without compulsion.

Approach to determination of fair value

The approach to determination of fair value of investment properties is applied to both properties held directly on Goodman's balance sheet and properties within funds managed by Goodman.

Valuations are determined based on assessments and estimates of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns in property markets and availability of similar properties, vacancy rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates. Recent and relevant sales evidence and other market data are taken into account. Valuations are either based on an external, independent valuation or on an internal valuation.

External valuations are undertaken only where market segments were observed to be active. In making the determination of whether a market segment is active, the following characteristics are considered:

    • function of the asset (distribution/warehouse or suburban office);
    • location of asset (city, suburb or regional area);
    • carrying value of asset (categorised by likely appeal to private investors (including syndicates), national and institutional investors); and
    • categorisation as primary or secondary based on a combination of location, weighted average lease expiry, quality of tenant covenant (internal assessment based on available market evidence) and age of construction.

Each property asset is assessed and grouped with assets in the same or similar market segments. Information on all relevant recent sales is also analysed using the same criteria to provide a comparative set. Unless three or more sales are observed in an individual market segment (taken together with any comparable market segments as necessary), that market segment is considered inactive.

Where a market segment is observed to be active, then external, independent valuations are performed for stabilised investment properties where there has been more than a 25 basis point movement in capitalisation rates and/or there has been a material change in tenancy profile and/or there has been significant capital expenditure and/or it has been three years since the previous external, independent valuation. For all other stabilised investment properties in an active market segment, an internal valuation is performed based on observable capitalisation rates and referenced to independent market data.

Where a market segment is observed to be inactive, then no external, independent valuations are performed and internal valuations are undertaken based on discounted cash flow (DCF) calculations. The DCF calculations are prepared over a 10 year period. The key inputs considered for each individual calculation are rental growth rates, discount rates, market rental rates and letting up incentives. Discount rates are computed using the 10 year bond rate or equivalent in each jurisdiction plus increments to reflect country risk, tenant credit risk and industry risk. Where possible, the components of the discount rate are benchmarked to available market data.

Market assessment

At 30 June 2012, all markets in which Goodman operated were observed to be active and no adjustments were made to the carrying value of stabilised investment properties arising from internal valuations using DCF calculations.

The weighted average cap rates for those properties valued externally at 30 June 2012 and the overall weighted average cap rates for the portfolio (including managed funds) are set out in the table below:

Weighted average cap
rate for external
valuations1 Total portfolio weighted

  1. This represents the weighted average capitalisation rate for external valuations in the three months prior to the balance date.

  2. No external valuations were performed in the three months prior to the balance date.

At 30 June 2012, the carrying value of stabilised investment properties held by the Consolidated Entity was \$2,259.0 million (2011: \$2,408.5 million). During the year ended 30 June 2012, 65% (2011: 71%) of stabilised investment properties (by reference to carrying value) were determined based on a valuation by an independent valuer who held a recognised and relevant professional qualification and had recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued.

Investment properties under development

External valuations are generally not performed for investment properties under development, but instead valuations are determined using the Consolidated Entity's feasibility studies supporting the properties under development. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions to determine capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant market adjusted for a profit and risk factor. This profit and risk factor is dependent on the function, location and size of the development and is generally in a market range of 10.0% to 17.5%.

At 30 June 2012, the carrying value of investment properties under development held by the Consolidated Entity was \$415.5 million (2011: \$516.2 million).

(b) Inventories

Inventories relate to land and property developments that are held for sale or development and sale in the normal course of the Consolidated Entity's business.

External valuations are not performed for inventories but instead valuations are determined using the Consolidated Entity's feasibility studies supporting the land and property developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant market. Where the feasibility study calculations indicate that the forecast cost of a completed development will exceed the net realisable value, then the inventory is impaired.

At 30 June 2012, the carrying value of inventories held by the Consolidated Entity was \$795.3 million (2011: \$484.9 million).

2 Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements (cont)

(c) Intangible assets

The Consolidated Entity recognises both indefinite life management rights and goodwill in its statement of financial position. At 30 June 2012, the carrying values of management rights and goodwill held by the Consolidated Entity were respectively \$232.9 million (2011: \$229.7 million) and \$550.3 million (2011: \$598.2 million). Details of key assumptions are set out in note 15.

Management rights represent the cost less impairment of direct and indirect asset management arrangements. The carrying values of these assets are assessed annually taking into account uncertain future events, including the period over which the future fee income streams continue to be received, the likelihood of renewal at minimal cost of contractual agreements to manage funds, and the future financial performance of the entities which generate those future fee income streams.

Goodwill carried by the Consolidated Entity represents the excess of the purchase price paid to acquire control over entities or groups of entities over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The carrying value of these assets is reviewed annually for impairment. The value is dependent on the assessment of uncertain future events, including the future profitability of the businesses acquired.

(d) Equity accounted investments

At 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity had a 50% investment in a joint venture entity, Macquarie Goodman Japan Pte Ltd (MGJ), which in turn had a 72% (2011: 72%) investment in Goodman Japan Limited (GJL) (formerly J-REP Co., Ltd). The carrying value of the investment in MGJ was A\$142.0 million (2011: A\$114.9 million). Management has assessed the carrying value of the investment based on a value in use calculation using a discount rate per annum of 10.07% (2011: 10.26%). The key assumptions relate to:

    • the privatisation of GJL, which is underway and expected to complete in the half year to 31 December 2012;
    • increasing the investor base in the existing core fund;
    • establishment of a new development fund, which has been approved subject to final documentation; and
    • continued access to prime development sites in addition to the two sites already secured at Osaka Bay and Tokyo Bay.

The table below sets out the sensitivity of the fair value to the amount of equity raised in the next five years:

Impact on fair value of
investment in MGJ
2012 2011
Sensitivity \$M \$M
10% reduction in new equity raised in each of the next five years (1.0) (3.4)
10% reduction in new equity raised in the next 12 months (0.4) (0.9)
50% reduction in new equity raised in the next five years (3.3) (17.2)
100 basis point increase in the discount rate per annum (6.3) (4.9)

(e) Derivative financial instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using generally accepted pricing models which discount estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and current market interest rates and or foreign currency rates. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties.

For further details in relation to derivative financial instruments, refer to note 30.

(f) Share based payments

The fair values of share based payment transactions are measured by reference to their fair value at the date of grant. The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured as follows:

    • Relative total Securityholder returns (relative TSR) tranche: these rights have been valued using a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 200 stocks, and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present value. The model uses statistical analysis to forecast total returns, based on expected parameters of variance and co-variance; and
    • Operating earnings per Securityholder (operating EPS) tranche: these rights have been valued as a granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend yield.

For further details in relation to the assumptions, refer to note 18.

(a) Basic and diluted profit/(loss) per Company share/per security (cont)

As at 30 June 2011, 7,264,496 (restated) securities granted under the ESAP and 26,162,700 (restated) options issued under the Executive Option Plan (EOP) were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of both the diluted loss per Company share and the diluted profit per security. All securities issued under the ESAP and options issued under the EOP lapsed in the current year.

As at 30 June 2012, the following performance rights and contingently issuable securities are potentially dilutive in future periods:

    • 28,085,699 equity settled performance rights granted to employees under the LTIP; and
    • securities contingently issuable on conversion of Goodman PLUS Trust hybrid securities.

(b) Dividends per Company share and distributions per security

No dividends were declared or paid by the Company during the financial year (2011: \$nil). Total distributions for the financial year declared by GIT were 18.0 cents per security (2011 restated: 17.5 cents per security). Details of the dates of payment are set out in note 7.

30% franking credits available to Shareholders for subsequent financial years 37.6 44.1

There were no franked dividends paid during the current or prior financial year.

The above amounts are based on the dividend franking account at the balance date adjusted for:

  • franking credits that will arise from the payment of the current tax liability;

  • franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the balance date;

  • franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as a receivable at the balance date; and

  • franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent financial years.

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

Additions during the current financial year

During the year, Goodman entered into an agreement with California based Birtcher Development & Investments (Birtcher), focused on the development of, and investment in, prime quality logistics and industrial facilities in key locations across North America. The payment to Birtcher of US\$5.0 million (A\$4.9 million) has been capitalised as goodwill.

Impairment charge

In the current financial year, an impairment loss has been reflected against the goodwill balance associated with the Logistics – United Kingdom division, as the lower levels of activity in the United Kingdom market are likely to remain for a greater period of time than was previously forecast.

Impairment losses have been reflected in the income statement (refer to note 5). There have been no reversals of impairment losses during the financial year (2011: \$nil).

Impairment testing for intangible assets

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite life management rights are allocated to Goodman's divisions or subdivisions (business units), representing the lowest level within Goodman at which the goodwill and indefinite life management rights are monitored for internal management purposes.

The impairment tests for all intangible assets were based on each division's or business unit's value in use. Value in use was determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from continuing operations. The future cash flows for all intangible assets were based on fund and development forecasts and then estimating a year five terminal value using a terminal growth rate and the division's discount rate. Where goodwill and management rights arise in the same division or business unit, impairment testing has been performed on the combined intangible asset. No impairment testing was performed in relation to the North America goodwill.

One of the key assumptions in relation to the impairment testing is that the management rights relating to Asia Pacific and European operations are assessed to have an indefinite life as these rights are routinely renewed at minimal cost. A summary of the other key assumptions for each division is set out below. Averages relate to average amounts over the five year forecast period:

  1. When assessing a potential impairment, the value in use is compared against the sum of the intangible asset balance and the plant and equipment balance for each division. The value in use balance is translated at the foreign currency exchange rate as at the end of the financial year.

  2. A risk premium is included in each division's discount rate, reflecting the level of forecasting, size, country and financing risks for that division.

  3. AUM growth rates are highest in Logistics – United Kingdom and in China. For Logistics – United Kingdom, this reflects the fact that the initial portfolios contain a low number of completed properties and the AUM is augmented by completed developments over the forecast period. For China, this reflects the increased equity commitments by the equity investors in the GCLHL managed fund.

  4. The average year on year increase in operating expenses in China reflects the increased expenditure required to support the forecast increase in size of the division.

Impairment testing for intangible assets (cont)

Development activity

For impairment testing in both 2012 and 2011, demand is assumed to continue to grow for new industrial product in each market. This demand is driven by a trend towards modern distribution methods, e-tailing, use of specialist logistics operations and modern well located facilities. Earnings forecasts for each division include projects which have not yet been contracted. The majority of developed product is expected to be sold to funds managed by Goodman although sales to third parties are also assumed for most divisions. For Logistics – United Kingdom and in China, the forecasts assume an increase in development starts (by area) each year.

The forecast models assume that capital continues to be available to the principal funds managed by Goodman in the divisions referred to above. This capital is assumed to be made available to fund acquisitions of property (complete or under development) and services from Goodman. These investment activities generate development management revenue and transactional profits for the Consolidated Entity.

Specific development assumptions included in the five year forecasts

(a) Logistics – Continental Europe

The forecasts assume that development starts (by area) per annum will be maintained at 0.9 million square metres of business space from year 3. However, Goodman's share of the forecast development margins is lower as a result of the increased development activity on the funds' balance sheets rather than on Goodman's balance sheet. This level of development is consistent with that achieved in the current financial year. The estimated total cash outflow (from both Goodman and the funds) required to finance the assumed development pipeline stays relatively constant across the forecast period in the region of A\$0.5 billion to A\$0.6 billion per annum.

(b) Logistics - United Kingdom

The United Kingdom economy is currently showing little to no growth and the level of development activity continues to be weak, although the supply of new product in the core areas of the United Kingdom is now limited. Development activity is forecast to increase in the short term and peak in year three at approximately 0.3 million square metres business space per annum; however, the average level of development per annum and the forecast margins over the forecast period are lower compared to the assumptions made in the comparative financial year. The majority of development land is expected to be sold to the Princeton Jersey JVE with the remaining on balance sheet development properties assumed to be developed by Goodman on behalf of third parties. This is consistent with the assumptions made in the comparative financial year.

(c) Hong Kong

The forecast period does not include any significant contributions from development activity.

(d) China

The forecasts assume that existing development sites on both Goodman's and GCLHL's balance sheets (the combined land area at 30 June 2012 was approximately 0.8 million square metres) are fully developed and will be held by GCLHL on completion. Additional land in both existing and new markets will be acquired by Goodman and developed on Goodman's balance sheet for ultimate ownership by GCLHL, with the level of development starts (by area) increasing from 0.3 million square metres per annum to 0.7 million square metres per annum over the forecast period. This increase is supported by the current availability of land and also the increased equity commitments by the investors in GCLHL. The estimated total cash outflow required to fund the assumed development pipeline increases across the forecast period to approximately A\$0.4 billion per annum in years four and five.

(e) Business Parks - United Kingdom

The United Kingdom property market remains a difficult operating environment in the short term. The development forecasts are consistent with those prepared as part of the impairment assessment in the prior year and reflect the forecasts agreed with investors as part of the extension of ABPP to July 2017. The ABPP land bank is currently 1.4 million square metres, of which 0.8 million square metres has planning consent, and the forecast assumes that development starts per annum average 0.05 million square metres per annum over the five year period.

15 Intangible assets (cont)

Impairment testing for intangible assets (cont)

Sources of funding for development activity

For impairment testing in both 2012 and 2011, capital inflows required to fund development activity in each division are assumed to flow from the following sources: equity investment directly into managed funds (including distribution reinvestment plans) from private and public markets; the creation of joint ventures or other investment structures involving Goodman; lending facilities (general term facilities or construction financing facilities) advanced to Goodman and/or equity investors; debt capital markets; turnkey developments; and proceeds from an orderly assets sale programme. It is not practicable to determine the approximate ratio of the total which will flow from each source.

Funds available to Goodman and potential equity investors are assumed to be sourced from available global markets and are not limited to lending markets in the regions to which the relevant intangible asset relates. There continues to be uncertainty relating to the availability of these cash inflows given the uncertainty in global debt and investment market conditions. However, the downturn in earnings resulting from a combination of the Consolidated Entity's capital preservation strategies and severe adverse conditions in certain markets experienced between 2008 and 2009 is assumed not to recur in the foreseeable property cycle.

Margins to be earned from development activity

For the majority of divisions, margins from development activity are relatively consistent over the forecast period.

Growth in assets under management

The principal increases in AUM over the forecast period are in Logistics - Continental Europe, Logistics – United Kingdom and in China. This forecast growth is a result of the acquisition of developed product by managed funds and will also generate an increase in base fund management fees in each division.

For Logistics – Continental Europe, the average annual increase in AUM of 17.4% (2011: 22.2%) over the forecast period is consistent with the prior year forecasts. During the current financial year, the division achieved the previously forecast level of development and GELF completed a €351.0 million rights issue and secured a new €800.0 million debt package to provide liquidity for the fund. For Logistics – United Kingdom, the average annual increase in AUM of 66.5% over the forecast period reflects the fact that the division is starting from a low base. Over the forecast period, the division is assumed to grow its AUM to £465.0 million. For China the average annual increase in AUM of 49.3% is a result of the forecast growth in GCLHL. During the year, the GCLHL investors increased their equity commitment to US\$500.0 million and the fund also secured a new US\$100.0 million five year facility.

In addition to the increase in AUM from development activity, AUM will also be impacted by property values. In the year ended 30 June 2012, investment property values in each market were relatively stable. For each division, growth in property values has been forecast as a result of increased rental income; however, only Business Parks – United Kingdom has assumed a growth in property values through movements in capitalisation rates. Business Parks – United Kingdom has assumed a decrease in capitalisation rates of approximately 25 basis points for prime assets over the forecast period. This assumption is consistent with the assumption adopted in the prior year.

New funds or joint ventures

No new funds or joint ventures have been assumed by any division in their impairment testing.

Performance fees

Performance fee revenue has been assumed in both the Hong Kong and Business Parks – United Kingdom divisions. The levels of performance fees are consistent with the prior year's forecasts.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses in Logistics - Continental Europe are forecast to increase by an average of 7.3% per annum over the forecast period, although this average increase has again reduced compared to the prior year as the future level of development activity over the forecast period is assumed to be in line with that achieved in the current financial year.

China is forecasting an average increase in operating expenses of 22.7% per annum, which reflects the forecast increase in both development activity and AUM over the forecast period.

For all other divisions, operating expenses are expected to increase on average at rates between 1.4% and 5.8% per annum, which are broadly in line with the prior year.

(a) Defined benefit pension obligation

During the current and prior financial year, the Consolidated Entity operated two United Kingdom defined benefit funds of the "final salary" type, both of which are closed to new entrants. There have been no changes to the scheme rules in the current and prior financial year. The total pension cost recognised in the income statement does not include actuarial gains or losses, which are recognised in the period in which they occur directly in equity.

Fund assets

The actual return on fund assets during the financial year was a \$0.3 million loss (2011: \$6.0 million gain). The weighted average asset allocation at the end of the financial year was as follows:

2012 2011
% %
Equities 58.0 69.5
Cash 14.0 0.6
Bonds 28.0 29.9
100.0 100.0

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, Goodman considered the current level of expected returns on risk free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio.

(b) Share based payments

The Company provides equity based remuneration through the issue of shares under the LTIP. Under the LTIP Goodman can offer performance rights (sometimes known as zero priced options) and options to its employees. In prior financial years, Goodman offered options over securities under the EOP; however, the EOP was replaced with the LTIP as the design features of the LTIP more closely reflect the principles supported by Securityholders.

Share based payments expense included in the income statement was as follows:

Share based payments expense:
- Equity settled 22.8 10.9
- Cash settled 1.6 0.8
- Other costs 0.2 0.5
24.6 12.2

The share based payments expense during the current financial year is in relation to the performance rights granted under the LTIP and the Goodman Tax Exempt Plan (refer below). At 30 June 2012, a liability of \$2.7 million (2011: \$1.1 million) was recognised in relation to cash settled performance rights.

Details of the Consolidated Entity's equity based remuneration schemes are set out below.

(i) Long Term Incentive Plan

The LTIP was approved at the Annual General Meeting on 30 November 2009 and each performance right issued under the LTIP entitles an employee to acquire a Goodman stapled security for nil consideration subject to the vesting conditions having been satisfied. The LTIP also provides for the issue of options, though this has not been utilised to date. If options were to be issued, it would entitle an employee to acquire a Goodman stapled security on payment of the exercise price for the option subject to the vesting conditions having been satisfied.

Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in the LTIP and no rights over stapled securities were issued to Non-Executive Directors during the financial year and up to the date of signature of the consolidated financial report.

Under the terms of the LTIP and decisions made by the Directors in accordance with the plan, the issues of performance rights on 25 November 2011 and 30 September 2011 to employees were subject to the following broad terms:

    • the exercise of 25% of the total performance rights will be conditional on the Consolidated Entity achieving a TSR in excess of that achieved by 50% of listed entities in the S&P/ASX 200 index and the exercise of 75% of the total performance rights will be conditional on the Consolidated Entity achieving an operating EPS outcome at least at the target level notified to the market over a three year 'testing period' which ends on 30 June 2013 and continued employment (subject to special circumstances e.g. death, total and permanent disability, redundancy or retirement). To the extent that the Consolidated Entity achieves the aggregate target operating EPS, 100% of the tranche will vest; to the extent the Consolidated Entity exceeds the 51st percentile in TSR, there is proportionate increases in vesting of performance rights up to 100% at the 76th percentile under the grants made pursuant to the rules and disclosed to the market;
    • performance rights lapse on the earlier of approximately five years from the offer or the termination of the employee's employment (unless such termination is due to special circumstances);
    • performance rights vest in three equal tranches on 3 September 2014, 2 September 2015 and 1 September 2016; and
    • the majority of Australian based employees were also permitted to receive up to \$1,000 of restricted Goodman stapled securities under guidelines issued by the Australian Taxation Office. The allotment of these securities was made under the Goodman Tax Exempt Plan, as approved by the Board.

The movement in the number of equity settled and cash settled performance rights is as follows:

Outstanding at the beginning of the year 18,579,948 9,962,722

Outstanding at the end of the year 29,996,683 18,579,948
Exercisable at the end of the year - -
  1. The number of performance rights has been adjusted for the consolidation of every five stapled securities into one stapled security during the year.

The model inputs for performance rights awarded during the current financial year include the following:

Rights issued Rights issued
25 Nov 2011 30 Sep 2011
Fair value at measurement date (\$) 2.12 2.04
Security price (\$) 2.90 2.90

Rights expected weighted average life (years) 3.8 3.9
Dividend/distribution yield per annum (%) 5.83 5.91
Average risk free rate of interest per annum (%) 3.09 3.74

The fair value of services received in return for performance rights granted under the LTIP is measured by reference to the fair value of the performance rights granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured as follows:

    • relative TSR tranche: these rights have been valued using a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 200 stocks, and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present value. The model uses statistical analysis to forecast total returns, based on expected parameters of variance and co-variance; and
    • operating EPS tranche: these rights have been valued as a granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend yield.

(ii) Executive Option Plan

No employees were granted options under the EOP during the financial year and up to the date of signature of the consolidated financial report. Options previously issued under the EOP would have entitled an employee to acquire a Goodman stapled security on payment of the exercise price for the option; however, as the return on equity performance hurdles were not achieved, all the options lapsed in the current year.

The movement in the weighted average exercise prices and number of options was as follows:

  1. The number of options granted and the weighted average exercise price of the options have been adjusted for the consolidation of every five stapled securities into one stapled security during the year.

  2. As at 30 June 2011, the options outstanding had a restated exercise price in the range of \$14.92 to \$35.72.

Onerous contracts

The provision for onerous contracts includes both onerous lease provisions and onerous fund management contract provisions.

Onerous lease provisions relate to future lease costs of office accommodation vacated by Goodman. The leases expire at various dates between July 2012 and May 2022. Subleasing of certain surplus space has been agreed or assumed in future periods. A provision has been recognised for the obligation for all discounted future payments, net of assumed rental income.

Onerous management contracts arise where the net operating result is forecast to be a loss over the remaining contract life. The principal management contract to which the provision relates expires in December 2014.

Rental guarantees

Rental guarantee provisions relate to estimates of future amounts payable by the Consolidated Entity to meet rental income targets guaranteed to third parties (including associates) under the terms of asset disposal contracts.

Transactions with key management personnel and their related entities

Goodman Holdings Group

Mr Gregory Goodman and Mr Patrick Goodman are directors of and shareholders in Goodman Holdings Group.

Moorabbin Airport and Business Park

In the prior financial year, Goodman completed the acquisition from Goodman Holdings Group of the units in MAC Unit Trust which owned 100% of the ordinary shares of MAC Investment Corporation Pty Limited (MIC), which in turn owned 66.67% of the ordinary shares in Moorabbin Airport Corporation Pty Limited (MAC), which in turn held the leasehold interest in Moorabbin Airport and Business Park. At the same time, Goodman also indirectly acquired from an independent third party the units in Moorabbin Airport Unit Trust, which owned the remaining shares in MAC.

The consideration for both MAC Unit Trust and Moorabbin Airport Unit Trust, approved by Securityholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Goodman on 29 October 2010, included the issue of 45,076,923 stapled securities to the vendors at an agreed issue price of \$3.25 each (amounts have been restated to take account of the one for five stapled security consolidation), cash of \$35.0 million and repayment of MAC bank debt of \$20.0 million. The stapled securities are currently held in escrow, one third until 24 May 2013 and the remainder until 24 May 2016, and the cash is being held in escrow until 24 May 2014.

30 Financial risk management

The Directors have ultimate responsibility for the Consolidated Entity's capital management and financial risk management processes and have established policies, documented in the Consolidated Entity's financial risk management (FRM) policy document, to ensure both the efficient use of capital and the appropriate management of the exposure to financial risk.

Management has established the Group Investment Committee, which is the primary forum where strategic capital and financial management requirements are discussed and decisions made in accordance with the FRM policy. The committee meets at least every week during the financial year.

Goodman's treasury function is responsible for preparing the following reports for consideration at each of the Consolidated Entity's Board meetings:

    • analysis of capital allocation and funding requirements against the Consolidated Entity's gearing constraint;
    • analysis of the Consolidated Entity's liquidity and funding position;
    • analysis of the Consolidated Entity's debt maturity profile;
    • a review of all the hedge exposures and the completed hedges;
    • compliance with the Consolidated Entity's hedging policy and recommendations for future hedging strategies; and
    • full mark to market of all derivative positions.

Under the FRM policy, the Consolidated Entity's derivative financial instruments are not generally designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and accordingly such derivative financial instruments are marked to market with the movement in value recognised in profit or loss.

Capital management

The Consolidated Entity's principal capital management objectives are to maintain a strong capital base and provide funds for capital expenditure and investment opportunities as they arise. This is achieved through an appropriate mix of debt, equity and hybrid instruments.

The Consolidated Entity is able to alter the capital mix by issuing new stapled securities or hybrid securities, through the operation of a distribution reinvestment plan, adjusting the timing of development and capital expenditure and selling assets to reduce borrowings. Goodman also manages capital through its distribution policy in which distributions made to Securityholders are based on the greater of 60% of operating profit or taxable income of GIT. Equity should be fully invested to ensure that a maximum return on the capital is achieved.

Goodman monitors capital on the basis of both the gearing ratio and the weighted average cost of debt. Gearing is reviewed at a Consolidated Entity basis and the gearing ratio for the Consolidated Entity is calculated as the total interest bearing liabilities less cash as a percentage of the total assets less cash.

30 Financial risk management (cont)

Financial risk management

Goodman's key financial risks are market risk (including foreign exchange and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

(a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

Goodman is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its investments in New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Continental Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Foreign exchange risk represents the loss that would be recognised from fluctuations in currency prices against the Australian dollar as a result of future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and principally, net investments in foreign operations.

In managing foreign currency risks, the Consolidated Entity aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Consolidated Entity's earnings and net assets. However, over the long term, permanent changes in foreign exchange will have an impact on both earnings and net assets.

The Consolidated Entity's capital hedge policy for each overseas region is to hedge between 70% and 95% of foreign currency denominated assets with foreign currency denominated liabilities. This is achieved by borrowing in the same functional currency as the investments to form a natural economic hedge against any foreign currency fluctuations and/or using derivatives such as cross currency interest rate swaps (CCIRS).

As at 30 June 2012, the principal that is hedged, the weighted average exchange rates and the periods of expiry, by currency, are set out below:

At 30 June 2012, Goodman's notes issued in the United States 144A/Reg S bond market and also foreign private placements denominated in Japanese yen create both an interest rate and a foreign currency risk exposure. Goodman's policy is to minimise its exposure to both interest rate and exchange rate movements. Accordingly, Goodman has entered into a series of CCIRS, which facilitated repayment of interest bearing liabilities denominated in Euros and British pounds sterling. Details of these CCIRS are set out below:

Additionally, the Consolidated Entity enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a proportion of the income received/receivable from its investments denominated in overseas currencies. Based on the Consolidated Entity's existing forward foreign exchange contracts as at 30 June 2012, the principal amounts expiring in future financial years, by currency, and the weighted average exchange rates are set out below:

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2012, if the Australian dollar had strengthened by 5% (2011: 5%), with all other variables, in particular interest rates, held constant, the Consolidated Entity's result attributable to Securityholders would have decreased by A\$3.3 million (2011: A\$6.8 million decrease). If the Australian dollar had weakened by 5% (2011: 5%), with all other variables, in particular interest rates, held constant, the Consolidated Entity's result attributable to Securityholders would have increased by A\$3.7 million (2011: A\$7.5 million increase).

30 Financial risk management (cont)

(a) Market risk (cont)

Interest rate risk

Goodman's interest rate risk primarily arises from variable rate borrowings. The Consolidated Entity adopts a policy of ensuring that between 60% and 100% of its current year exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is on a fixed rate basis. The Consolidated Entity enters into interest rate swaps (IRS) to manage cash flow risks associated with the interest rates on borrowings that are floating. The IRS contracts are for 90 day intervals and involve quarterly payments or receipts of the net amount of interest.

The Consolidated Entity's interest rate risk exposure on interest bearing liabilities together with the net exposure based on the Consolidated Entity's existing derivative financial instruments as at 30 June 2012, are set out below:

Interest bearing Impact of derivatives Net interest
liabilities CCIRS1 IRS rate exposure
\$M \$M \$M \$M
30 June 2012
Fixed rate liabilities 1,837.5 (1,263.2) 1,516.0 2,090.3
Floating rate liabilities 510.0 1,165.5 (1,516.0) 159.5
2,347.5 (97.7) - 2,249.8
30 June 2011
Fixed rate liabilities 1,288.0 (899.1) 1,306.9 1,695.8
Floating rate liabilities 625.8 848.2 (1,306.9) 167.1
1,913.8 (50.9) - 1,862.9
  1. The impact of the CCIRS amends the total borrowings exposure as a result of the difference in the foreign currency exchange rate between the contracted rate and the year end spot rate.

As a result of the fixed rate interest bearing liabilities and IRS that exist as at 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity would have the following fixed interest rate exposure at the end of each of the next five financial years:

2012 2011
Fixed interest rate Weighted average Fixed interest rate Weighted average
exposure interest rate exposure interest rate
Number of years post balance date A\$M % per annum A\$M % per annum
1 year 2,090.3 4.48 1,673.1 5.37

4 years 1,212.0 5.98 1,076.1 6.19
5 years 760.6 7.63 781.9 7.11

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2012, if interest rates on borrowings had been 100 basis points per annum (2011: 100 basis points per annum) higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity's result attributable to Securityholders for the financial year would have been A\$0.1 million lower/higher (2011: A\$0.2 million).

Price risk

The Consolidated Entity is not exposed to price risk.

30 Financial risk management (cont)

(b) Liquidity risk

.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Consolidated Entity's objective is to maintain sufficient liquidity resources for working capital, meet its financial obligations and liabilities, pay distributions and provide funds for capital expenditure and investment opportunities. Management seeks to achieve these objectives through the preparation of regular forecast cash flows to understand the application and use of funds and through the identification of future funding, including new debt facilities, new issues of securities or the distribution reinvestment plan.

Goodman's treasury function is responsible for reporting details of all debt maturities for all loans across the regions to the Board at its regular meetings. Goodman's treasury function is also responsible for reporting to the Board all the information and term sheets relating to any financing arrangements being contemplated or negotiated by the Consolidated Entity for its review and approval.

The Consolidated Entity seeks to spread its debt maturities such that the total debt maturing in a single financial year does not exceed Board approved policy levels.

30 Financial risk management (cont)

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.

The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments, of the Consolidated Entity which have been recognised on the statement of financial position, is the carrying amount (refer to note 8).

The Consolidated Entity has a policy of assessing the creditworthiness of all potential customers and is not materially exposed to any one customer. The Consolidated Entity evaluates all customers' perceived credit risk and may require the lodgement of rental bonds or bank guarantees, as appropriate, to reduce credit risk. In addition, all rents are payable monthly in advance.

The Consolidated Entity minimises credit risk by dealing with major financial institutions in relation to cash and short-term borrowings. Concentration of credit risk exists from time to time on receivables for the proceeds of disposals of investment properties. The credit risk is minimised as legal title is generally transferred only upon receipt of proceeds for the sale of those assets.

From time to time, the Consolidated Entity also makes loans to associates and JVEs, typically to fund development projects. In making its investment decisions, the Consolidated Entity will undertake a detailed assessment of the development feasibility and credit risks associated with the relevant counterparties.

The credit risks associated with financial instruments are managed by:

    • transacting with multiple derivatives counterparties that have a long-term investment credit rating; and
    • utilising ISDA agreements with derivative counterparties in order to limit exposure to credit risk through netting of amounts receivable and amounts payable to individual counterparties.

These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Consolidated Entity's financial position and of its performance.

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