Chairman’s report
==> picture [201 x 227] intentionally omitted <==
Since our last annual report, the global economy has encountered unprecedented headwinds. Volatile equity and constrained debt markets have impacted the carrying value of many companies’ assets and their earnings performance.
Share prices have been adversely impacted by the global turmoil, reflecting investor uncertainty and often a disregard for the underlying strengths of the businesses involved.
In the face of these volatile conditions, the diversified business model of the Group and its balance sheet have underwritten a creditable financial result for 2008. The Company achieved an 8.1% increase in underlying net operating profit after tax of $447.1 million.
The full year dividend, which is paid from after tax operating earnings, was 77 cents per share, in line with last year’s payment. The full year dividend represents a payout ratio of 69% of net operating profit after tax, at the midpoint of the Board’s policy range of 60% to 80%.
While achieving a very good result on many key measures, statutory profit after tax of $265.4 million reflected a non-cash decrease in the carrying value of inventory in our UK Communities business, Crosby Lend Lease.
The difficult market conditions of recent months are set to continue for some time yet. The Board and management’s priority is to manage the business efficiently, while continuing to build a portfolio of superior long term property projects to ensure we will be in a leading position when the market recovers.
In the meantime, while the Group expects financial year 2009 operating earnings to be 10–15% lower, they will be delivered through continuing strong operating cash flows, low interest costs and intensive risk management.
The Company’s conservative asset leverage and measured use of capital recycling ensures there is no pressure to realise assets to meet stated financial objectives.

Lend Lease
1997 bp gLobAL ALLIAnCe
2008 marks the
50th anniversary since Lend Lease Corporation was founded by Dick Dusseldorp in Sydney with a vision to create a company that successfully combined the disciplines of property, financing, development and investment. Lend Lease is now a leading global property Company, bound together the core values: people, safety and the environment. These values have underpinned Lend Lease’s success over the last 50 years and will steer the Company over the next 50 years.
==> picture [141 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
From a small office block and a residential subdivision on Sydney’s North Shore, Lend Lease has grown to be an international company creating landmarks, defining communities, changing the shape of retailing, inspiring the modern approach to urban renewal, and creating benchmarks for green building.
Instead, the Board and management continue to look through the cycle and maintain a clear focus on business fundamentals.
I want to take this opportunity to extend thanks to my fellow Board members, outgoing CEO Greg Clarke and his senior management team, and all our people. They have worked hard to ensure Lend Lease remains well positioned for growth despite the very difficult market conditions we are facing and are likely to face for some time yet. I also welcome Mark Selway to the Board.
Outlook
Today Lend Lease remains well placed to continue for another 50 years. The Company has a clear, long term strategy; strong positions across all its key markets; a strong and secure pipeline of work with high quality partners, and the capital flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that come our way.
In conclusion, this year marks the 50th anniversary of Lend Lease – our history is built on the key values that underpin our endeavours today and which were established by the Company’s founder, Dick Dusseldorp: care for our people, safety and and respect for the environment.

Chief executive officer’s report
==> picture [218 x 231] intentionally omitted <==
I am pleased to report that Lend Lease has again performed reasonably well in an extremely difficult property market. Even more pleasing is the strong financial position the Company enjoys as we deal with tough market and economic conditions around the globe.
That financial strength – substantial cash on hand coupled with good operating cash flows and low debt – means that despite our setback in writing down Crosby Lend Lease inventory in the UK, we can stay our strategic course rather than selling assets at less than optimum value and exiting businesses to reduce excessive debt or prop up earnings.
Lend Lease continues to focus on areas where we have strong market positions and competitive advantage. Our diverse development pipeline and $9.3 billion in assets under management give the Company flexibility in its business planning.
Like most companies, we have lowered short term earnings expectations, but the financial and strategic underpinnings for long term shareholder value remain intact.
For financial year 2008, the key standouts were strong contributions from Bovis Lend Lease, especially in Australia and the Asia Pacific region, and from Actus Lend Lease in the United States with a backlog gross profit margin of $447.5 million.
We finalised an interim development management agreement with the United Kingdom’s Olympic Delivery Authority for the 2012 Athletes Village. Elsewhere in the UK, construction started at Greenwich Peninsula and Lend Lease was selected as preferred development partner for the massive Elephant & Castle residential redevelopment in south-east London.

Beyond financial prudence and strategic discipline, equally fundamental to the way we do business is our aim for sustainability in all we do. The global measurement program continues and we can report good progress this year. At the same time, we continue our focus on our vision to be Incident & Injury free. There were six fatalities across Lend Lease projects this year, down from nine in 2007. No fatality is ever acceptable.
It has been an honour to serve Lend Lease. I wish to record my sincere appreciation for the support and wise counsel Directors have afforded me as we have repositioned Lend Lease and strengthened its foundations for a long and successful future. I am also very grateful for the untiring support and valuable insights that I have been given by my senior executive colleagues and so many Lend Lease team members around the world.
The Investment Management business saw continued strong performance of funds, including capital recycling of co-investments. New equity of $700 million was raised and there is significant committed funds under management growth over the next three years from the development pipeline within the funds.
During the year, we reduced the carrying value of the UK Communities operations, principally Crosby Lend Lease, reflecting the currently weak UK residential market.
Finally, this is likely to be my last report to shareholders. Now in my sixth year of a seven year commitment that I gave the Board when I was appointed CEO, it is time to select the CEO to lead Lend Lease through its next phase of development. The search process is well under way and the Board will announce the appointment of my successor in due course. I will continue with my duties until then to ensure a smooth transition.
I believe that my successor will take charge of one of the best property businesses to be found in the world today and that Lend Lease is extremely well positioned for the property market recovery when it eventuates.
International accounting rules also required a reduction in the value of certain retail property investments. Importantly, these writedowns are non-cash and do not affect underlying cash flow or net operating profit. We continue to invest in the UK retail development pipeline based on long term fundamentals of that market. Our overall retail development pipeline stands at $4.8 billion. The Australian Communities operations continued to generate increased sales despite weaker market conditions.

Lend Lease holds an ownership interest in 16 centres, both directly and indirectly via managed funds.
-
The market value of Lend Lease’s interests in these centres declined to $2.0 billion, down from $2.5 billion in 2007. This was principally due to negative foreign exchange movements and weakening of capitalisation rates, principally in the UK.
-
Across the retail portfolio, trading performance has remained solid and the forward development pipeline sits at a strong $4.8 billion.
-
Profit after tax was down slightly to $66.1 million. This was due to higher overheads in the UK as the business continued to invest in its

development pipeline and the prior year included a residual development profit relating to the sale of Chapelfield, Norwich in the UK.

-
Global Communities’ operating profit after tax declined 30% to $100.3 million, from $143.4 million in 2007. This was primarily due to a reduced contribution from Crosby Lend Lease as a result of the significant slowdown in the UK residential market.
-
In light of the difficult market conditions in the UK residential market, Crosby Lend Lease has reduced the carrying value of its inventory by $121.5 million after tax.
-
Estimated sales value of Communities backlog reached $33.9 billion, including residential and commercial opportunities, with total residential backlog of 116,925 units and a total commercial backlog of 5.0 million square metres.
-
In Asia Pacific Communities, profit after tax was down slightly due to a lower level of commercial sales. There was also a change in product mix, with stronger residential land settlements being offset by a decrease in residential built-form.
-
In the UK, conditions for the Communities business remain very challenging. Despite this, we remain well placed with land management deals at Greenwich, Elephant & Castle and Stratford.
-
Our Communities business in the US involves two projects in the planning/ approval stages which we will only commence when market conditions recover.

CAse sTudy: Mawson Lakes breaks down barriers
This year the Mawson Lakes development project in South Australia marked its 10th birthday by winning one of the industry’s most coveted awards – ‘Best Masterplanned Development’ for its Mawson Central precinct from the Urban Development Institute of Australia. This is the second occasion Mawson Lakes has won this award, with the project in its entirety winning the award in 2004.
Developed by Delfin Lend Lease and the South Australian Land Management Corporation, the 620 hectare site has brought a fresh perspective to urban development characterised by a number of social, economic and environmental sustainability innovations since its inception.
Entrance to “The Peninsula”, Mawson Lakes South Australia
Located 12 kilometres north of Adelaide, more than 30% of the Mawson Lakes site is allocated to public recreational spaces including lakes and waterways and over 26 kilometres of walking and bike trails.
launcheD in 1998 in joint venture with Mirvac, newington was useD by athletes anD officials for the syDney 2000 olyMpics. post gaMes, the teMporary builDings were reMoveD anD the houses retrofitteD for the new owners.
environmentally sustainable development is one of the key drivers behind the Mawson Lakes project.
Environmentally sustainable development is one of the key drivers behind the Mawson Lakes project. The community’s recycled water system has established a benchmark in future sustainable urban development and is an Australian first in term of its size and scope.
All homes, businesses and organisations are connected to a recycled water system, in addition to normal drinking water supply. Treated stormwater as treated grey water is recycled for watering gardens, washing cars and toilet flushing. The system aims to reduce the usage of potable water in Mawson Lakes by 50%, compared to the Adelaide average.
Mawson Lakes also features trailblazing affordable housing products, such as the Delfin Studio 51. This product similarly won the Affordable Housing award from the Urban Development Institute of Australia this year.
On completion, Mawson Lakes will house approximately 10,000 people in 4,000 homes.

The Camp Lejeune project is a leading example of Actus Lend Lease’s strong track record in creating quality master planned mixed-use communities for all branches of the US military.
Actus Lend Lease and the Department of the Navy joined forces to create Atlantic Marine Corps Communities (AMCC), a public private partnership created to provide military families with a better quality of life. Camp Lejeune is the largest Marine Corps installation in the world.
Actus Lend Lease, through AMCC, is managing housing on seven bases in four states. The broader Camp Lejeune project includes the design, development, construction, renovation and management of more than 8,000 homes across the seven installations over the next 50 years.
Serving more than 28,000 residents, the construction and renovation of homes will be complete by 2013. Actus Lend Lease will continue to own, operate and manage these new communities through at least 2055.

CAse sTudy: durrat Al bahrain Islands in the sun
Durrat Al Bahrain, a luxury residential, commercial and tourist resort project, is designed to eventually accommodate around 60,000 people and is the first major tourism development to be project managed by Bovis Lend Lease in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Located at the southern end of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, Bovis Lend Lease has been appointed in joint venture with Kuwaiti Manager Company to provide development and project management services for the first phases of the coastal resort city, a US$6 billion joint development between the Government of Bahrain and Kuwait Finance House.

Bovis Lend Lease has structured the project into a large number of work packages, varying from design and consultancy assignments, to construction and concession contracts. First phases of the project cover dredging and reclamation, shore protection, bridges, roads, services and utilities, landscaping, villas, golf course, clubhouse and community facilities. Future works will include high rise buildings, retail malls, hotels, schools, hospitals and other amenities necessary to build a city in the desert.
The project commenced in 2004 and is on track, with all the islands and mainland reclamation completed. Infrastructure work is well underway for Phases 1 & 2 and the first villas are scheduled for occupation in 2008.

Investment Management what large and sophisticated institutional real estate investors increasingly want
Capital flows around the world are changing. Liquidity challenges across investment markets have had a transformational impact on how wholesale real estate investment products are packaged and delivered.
==> picture [192 x 143] intentionally omitted <==
Institutional equity demand is increasingly segmented by factors such as an investor’s scale, type and geography.
Drawing on Lend Lease’s asset creation capabilities, Lend Lease Investment Management is well positioned to meet this trend and has attracted more than $700 million in new equity for development projects over the past year.
The credit crunch has impacted liquidity and funding for new projects. Over the past few years, international and institutional investors have been actively looking to diversify their property exposure to the Australian and Asian markets.
According to Rod Leaver, Global CEO of Lend Lease Investment Management, “this investment trend is being driven by the very large minimum investment requirements and a desire for greater influence in investment decisions.”
over the past few years, international and
institutional investors have been actively looking to diversify their property exposure to the Australian and Asian markets.
“ We are seeing increased global demand for new product in Asia Pacific.
“ The size and scope of the Lend Lease development pipeline positions us as an attractive manager and partner. Institutional investors are becoming more aware of our competitive advantage in product creation and this underpins our ability to raise capital successfully.
“ We are looking to follow the flow of capital and will consider more flexibility in fund structuring, including joint ventures and partnerships, in addition to our existing funds which enhances the range of capital solutions we can provide.
“ We continue to draw on our extensive network to identify and deliver investment opportunities that are attractive for our investors. Mixed-use development projects, the apartments business and the Australian commercial sector all present competitive propositions to our investors.”

environment
Every action we take and every measure we collect moves us closer to achieving our environmental aspirations. We realise being green is broader than energy and water efficiency. It is also about indoor environment quality, waste management and reduction, the materials we use, our management of an asset, land use and ecological impacts, access to alternative transport, and impacts on human health. In order to monitor, measure and report the ecological footprint of our activities, we have collected data on energy consumption, material consumption, waste generation, environmental condition (ecological significance) of land prior to our activity, land space occupied by asset and use, transportation impacts and water consumption.
safety
Lend Lease is committed to operating Incident & Injury Free wherever the Group has a presence. We work closely with partners, clients and contractors to create the safest possible places to work, live, or visit.
Over the past year the Lend Lease Group has undertaken a major transformation plan to implement the right guidelines, training tools, accountabilities and governance framework to embed safety across all our business practices.
Incident & Injury Free commitment criteria will also be a determining factor that applies to how all employees are measured and rewarded.
Lend Lease is striving to achieve a leadership position in safety operational performance, not only because it is the right thing – but because well run businesses operate safely.
people
For over 50 years, our commitment to our people has extended way beyond our day-to-day business operations. While we have a history of nurturing talent, in all its diversity, and urge professional excellence through training, mentoring and skills improvement, we are proud of the many employees who regularly volunteer their time and expertise to help individuals, organisations and communities.

2008 Annual Report to Shareholders Lend Lease Corporation 1
Chairman’s report
2008 marks the 50th
anniversary since Lend Lease Corporation was founded by Dick Dusseldorp in Sydney with a vision to create a company that successfully combined the disciplines of property, financing, development and investment. Lend Lease is now a leading global property company, bound together by the core values: people, safety and the environment. These values have underpinned Lend Lease’s success over the last 50 years and will steer the company over the next 50 years.
==> picture [141 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
50 Years of
Lend Lease
“ The time is not far off when companies will have to justify their worth to society, with greater emphasis being placed on environmental and societal impact than straight economics.”
Dick Dusseldorp 1973
Founder Lend Lease Corporation
The Lend Lease Gauge building (featured on the front cover) in Victoria Harbour, Melbourne is another step forward in the Company’s evolution to be the leader in developing sustainable solutions in the built environment. Completed this year, it has been awarded a 6-Star Green Star – Office Design Certified Rating from the Green Building Council of Australia, currently the highest award available. It is also a manifestation of the the Lend Lease integrated business model, with the design, development, project and construction management, funding and management all undertaken by Lend Lease.
Since our last annual report, the global economy has encountered unprecedented headwinds. Volatile equity and constrained debt markets have impacted the carrying value of many companies’ assets and their earnings performance.
Share prices have been adversely impacted by the global turmoil, reflecting investor uncertainty and often a disregard for the underlying strengths of the businesses involved.
In the face of these volatile conditions, the diversified business model of the Group and its balance sheet have underwritten a creditable financial result for 2008. The Company achieved an 8.1% increase in underlying net operating profit after tax of $447.1 million.
The full year dividend, which is paid from after tax operating earnings, was 77 cents per share, in line with last year’s payment. The full year dividend represents a payout ratio of 69% of net operating profit after tax, at the midpoint of the Board’s policy range of 60% to 80%.
While achieving a very good result on many key measures, statutory profit after tax of $265.4 million reflected a non-cash decrease in the carrying value of inventory in our UK Communities business, Crosby Lend Lease.
The difficult market conditions of recent months are set to continue for some time yet. The Board and management’s priority is to manage the business efficiently, while continuing to build a portfolio of superior long term property projects to ensure we will be in a leading position when the market recovers.
In the meantime, while the Group expects financial year 2009 operating earnings to be 10–15% lower, they will be delivered through continuing strong operating cash flows, low interest costs and intensive risk management.
The Company’s conservative asset leverage and measured use of capital recycling ensures there is no pressure to realise assets to meet stated financial objectives. Instead, the Board and management continue to look through the cycle and maintain a clear focus on business fundamentals.
I want to take this opportunity to extend thanks to my fellow Board members, outgoing CEO Greg Clarke and his senior management team, and all our people. They have worked hard to ensure Lend Lease remains well positioned for growth despite the very difficult market conditions we are facing and are likely to face for some time yet. I also welcome Mark Selway to the Board.
In conclusion, this year marks the 50th anniversary of Lend Lease – our history is built on the key values that underpin our endeavours today and which were established by the Company’s founder, Dick Dusseldorp: care for our people, safety and the environment.
From a small office block and a residential subdivision on Sydney’s North Shore, Lend Lease has grown to be an international company creating landmarks, defining communities, changing the shape of retailing, inspiring the modern approach to urban renewal, and creating benchmarks for green building.
Outlook
Today Lend Lease remains well placed to continue for another 50 years. The Company has a clear, long term strategy; strong positions across all its key markets; a strong and secure pipeline of work with high quality partners, and the capital flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that come our way.
David Crawford Chairman

The Bond building in Millers Point, Sydney, head office to Lend Lease’s international operations [featured on the back cover], was one of Australia’s first 5-Star Green Star commercial office buildings. Completed in 2004, it is yet another example of Lend Lease’s capability of delivering great property outcomes.
2
During the year, we reduced the carrying value of the UK Communities operations, principally Crosby Lend Lease, reflecting the currently weak UK residential market.
Chief executive officer’s report
I am pleased to report that Lend Lease has again performed reasonably well in an extremely difficult property market. Even more pleasing is the strong financial position the Company enjoys as we deal with tough market and economic conditions around the globe.
International accounting rules also required a reduction in the value of certain retail property investments. Importantly, these writedowns are non-cash and do not affect underlying cash flow or net operating profit. We continue to invest in the UK retail development pipeline based on long term fundamentals of that market. Our overall retail development pipeline stands at $4.8 billion. The Australian Communities operations continued to generate increased sales despite weaker market conditions.
“ For financial year 2008, the key standouts were strong contributions from Bovis Lend Lease, especially in Australia and the Asia Pacific region, and from Actus Lend Lease in the United States with a backlog gross profit margin of $447.5 million.
That financial strength – substantial cash on hand coupled with good operating cash flows and low debt – means that despite our setback in writing down Crosby Lend Lease inventory in the UK, we can stay our strategic course rather than selling assets at less than optimum value and exiting businesses to reduce excessive debt or prop up earnings.
Lend Lease continues to focus on areas where we have strong market positions and competitive advantage. Our diverse development pipeline and $9.3 billion in assets under management give the Company flexibility in its business planning. Like most companies, we have lowered short term earnings expectations, but the financial and strategic underpinnings for long term shareholder value remain intact.
Beyond financial prudence and strategic discipline, equally fundamental to the way we do business is our aim for sustainability in all we do. The global measurement program continues and we can report good progress this year. At the same time, we continue our focus on our vision to be Incident & Injury free. There were six fatalities across Lend Lease projects this year, down from nine in 2007. No fatality is ever acceptable.
“ Lend Lease continues to focus on areas where we have strong market positions and competitive advantage.”
For financial year 2008, the key standouts were strong contributions from Bovis Lend Lease, especially in Australia and the Asia Pacific region, and from Actus Lend Lease in the United States with a backlog gross profit margin of $447.5 million.
Finally, this is likely to be my last report to shareholders. Now in my sixth year of a seven year commitment that I gave the Board when I was appointed CEO, it is time to select the CEO to lead Lend Lease through its next phase of development. The search process is well under way and the Board will announce the appointment of my successor in due course. I will continue with my duties until then to ensure a smooth transition.
==> picture [282 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
We finalised an interim development management agreement with the United Kingdom’s Olympic Delivery Authority for the 2012 Athletes Village. Elsewhere in the UK, construction started at Greenwich Peninsula and Lend Lease was selected as preferred development partner for the massive Elephant & Castle residential redevelopment in south-east London.
It has been an honour to serve Lend Lease. I wish to record my sincere appreciation for the support and wise counsel Directors have afforded me as we have repositioned Lend Lease and strengthened its foundations for a long and successful future. I am also very grateful for the untiring support and valuable insights that I have been given by my senior executive colleagues and so many Lend Lease team members around the world.
The Investment Management business saw continued strong performance of funds, including capital recycling of co-investments. New equity of $700 million was raised and there is significant committed funds under management growth over the next three years from the development pipeline within the funds.
I believe that my successor will take charge of one of the best property businesses to be found in the world today and that Lend Lease is extremely well positioned for the property market recovery when it eventuates.

Lend Lease holds an ownership interest in 16 centres, both directly and indirectly via managed funds.
-
The market value of Lend Lease’s interests in these centres declined to $2.0 billion, down from $2.5 billion in 2007. This was principally due to negative foreign exchange movements and weakening of capitalisation rates, principally in the UK.
-
Across the retail portfolio, trading performance has remained solid and the forward development pipeline sits at a strong $4.8 billion.

outlook
• In Australia, retail sales are beginning to slow. Our retail business in Australia provides a platform of work for Investment Management and Bovis Lend Lease. With ownership of most of the centres through our funds, we have limited downside from a move in valuations.
• In Singapore, retail sales are also slowing, but from a higher base, with the underlying economy still relatively strong. We continue to look for further acquisitions in conjunction with the Lend Lease Asian Retail Investment Fund.
• Valuations across the UK portfolio were negatively impacted due to continuing weakness in capitalisation rates. However the viability of our development pipeline in the UK remains sound, with retail positions in strong catchment areas with good demographics and low holding costs.

The proposed development will incorporate Mackay’s first department store, an expanded supermarket and 100 speciality stores – increasing the centre to 60,000 square metres of retail space.
Partnering with local councils on developments, Lend Lease Retail actively engages stakeholders with the aim of integrating the redevelopment within the local community in a financially viable and environmentally sustainable way, boosting employment opportunities for the local economy.
These developments draw on the value chain provided by Lend Lease’s integrated business model – leveraging from the Group’s expertise in development, retail management, construction and investment management.

- During the year Lend Lease and its partners were selected as preferred development partner for the Elephant & Castle project, a large mixed-use regeneration scheme in London.
In December 2001 Lend Lease and Quintain Estates and Development PLC, in joint venture as Meridian Delta Limited, were selected by English Partnerships as preferred bidder for the urban regeneration of Greenwich Peninsula in London.
Environmentally sustainable development is one of the key drivers behind the Mawson Lakes project. The community’s recycled water system has established a benchmark in future sustainable urban development and is an Australian first in term of its size and scope.
All homes, businesses and organisations are connected to a recycled water system, in addition to normal drinking water supply. Treated stormwater as treated grey water is recycled for watering gardens, washing cars and toilet flushing. The system aims to reduce the usage of potable water in Mawson Lakes by 50%, compared to the Adelaide average.
Mawson Lakes also features trailblazing affordable housing products, such as the Delfin Studio 51. This product similarly won the Affordable Housing award from the Urban Development Institute of Australia this year.
On completion, Mawson Lakes will house approximately 10,000 people in 4,000 homes.

The new commercial office development for the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), located in the heart of Canberra, represents the largest single project undertaken by Bovis Lend Lease in our 50 year history in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).
The landmark $240 million development covers a huge 63,000 square metres of net lettable area and is the largest government tenancy construction project in Australia to date. Bovis Lend Lease provided full project management, design and construction services over a two year period for client and owner, QIC.
Accommodating more than 4,000 employees, the ATO building occupies two separate office towers known as Precinct B and Precinct C within QIC’s Section 84 precinct.
Both QIC and ATO encouraged the achievement of a superior quality product with a focus on environmentally sustainable design and Bovis Lend Lease successfully delivered a modern, attractive and energy efficient workplace that has transformed and revitalised the eastern end of Canberra’s city centre.

Institutional equity demand is increasingly segmented by factors such as an investor’s scale, type and geography.
Drawing on Lend Lease’s asset creation capabilities, Lend Lease Investment Management is well positioned to meet this trend and has attracted more than $700 million in new equity for development projects over the past year.
The credit crunch has impacted liquidity and funding for new projects. Over the past few years, international and institutional investors have been actively looking to diversify their property exposure to the Australian and Asian markets.
According to Rod Leaver, Global CEO of Lend Lease Investment Management, “this investment trend is being driven by the very large minimum investment requirements and a desire for greater influence in investment decisions.”

portfolios. Investors fulfilling their fiduciary duty therefore need to give appropriate consideration to these issues, but until recently have lacked a framework to achieve this aim. The United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment provide this framework.
According to the United Nations Environment program property typically comprises less than 10% of a diversified investment portfolio. However, its environmental footprint is much larger than its 10% allocation. Clearly, therefore, property must also be a focus of investors seeking to align their investments with broader environmental objectives.
In November 2007 Lend Lease Investment Management became the first global property investment manager to become a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment. Lend Lease Investment Management has incorporated the United Nations Principles into a number of areas including investment analysis and decision making processes, ownership policies and practices.

environment
Buildings contribute 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions and as one of the first property companies to acknowledge the threat of climate change, Lend Lease advocates new legislation, policies, products, technologies and partnerships in our sector’s response to it. We recognise significant opportunities to initiate and implement solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through efficient building design, operation and clean energy generation.
Every action we take and every measure we collect moves us closer to achieving our environmental aspirations. We realise being green is broader than energy and water efficiency. It is also about indoor environment quality, waste management and reduction, the materials we use, our management of an asset, land use and ecological impacts, access to alternative transport, and impacts on human health. In order to monitor, measure and report the ecological footprint of our activities, we have collected data on energy consumption, material consumption, waste generation,
environmental condition (ecological significance) of land prior to our activity, land space occupied by asset and use, transportation impacts and water consumption.
Lend Lease has 855 employees trained in the application of green building rating tools, 383 of whom are green building accredited. We are a founding member of the USA, UK, UAE and Australian Green Building Councils and actively involved in the establishment of Green Building Councils in other regions, such as Spain, China and Malaysia.
In addition to opening the doors on The Gauge, our first 6 Star Green Star (Office Design Certified Rating) building, we have made significant progress this year, achieving a green building rating for 10 Lend Lease office tenancies globally.
safety
Lend Lease is committed to operating Incident & Injury Free wherever the Group has a presence. We work closely with partners, clients and contractors to create the safest possible places to work, live, or visit.
Over the past year the Lend Lease Group has undertaken a major transformation plan to implement the right guidelines, training tools, accountabilities and governance framework to embed safety across all our business practices. Some of the tools in place and being implemented include:
-
the introduction of safety criteria into subcontractor tenders and asset acquisition assessments;
-
the development of minimum safety requirements that prescribe physical and operational safety standards for virtually all business activities, supported by localised guidelines and solutions to comply with those requirements;
-
the Company-wide adoption of an online safety reporting system that will help identify major safety risk areas across our entire business activities;
-
a formal safety training curriculum with a schedule of training modules for employees, business partners and contractors to ensure each employee and third party receives appropriate technical training to work safely; and
-
safety specific roles and responsibilities will become a part of all job descriptions clarifying accountabilities for safe outcomes.

Lend Lease commitment to governance
The Directors believe that good corporate governance is fundamental to the long term prosperity of the Lend Lease Group. The Board continually reviews the Group’s governance practices to ensure that they promote sustainable value for shareholders and address the Group’s responsibilities to all of its stakeholders.
As a listed Company, Lend Lease must comply with the ASX Listing Rules, which require the Company to provide a statement in the Annual Report disclosing the extent to which the Company has followed the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations (asX recommendations). During the year the ASX Corporate Governance Council revised its principles and recommendations and encouraged their early adoption by companies for the current reporting year. As detailed in this Corporate Governance Statement, Lend Lease considers that the Group’s governance policies and practices comply with the revised ASX Recommendations. A table summarising the Group’s compliance is provided at the end of this Statement.
In addition to the information set out in this Statement, the Corporate Governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com contains further information on the Group’s governance practices, including copies of key policies and charters. A reference in this Corporate Governance Statement to the Board is a reference to the Board of Directors of Lend Lease Corporation Limited unless indicated otherwise.
date of this corporate governance statement
This Corporate Governance Statement reflects the corporate governance and other related policies and practices in place for the Lend Lease Group as at 31 August 2008.
1 the Lend Lease board
1.1 Role and Responsibilities
The main focus of the Lend Lease Board is the long term success and prosperity of the Group for the benefit of shareholders. The Board is responsible for leading Lend Lease in the achievement of its objective to continually deliver strong shareholder value.
The Board has adopted a formal Board Charter, which sets out the division of responsibilities between the Board and management. The responsibilities of the Board pursuant to the Charter are set out in the table below. The Board delegates authority for all other matters necessary for the day-to-day management of the Group to the Chief Executive Officer (Ceo). The Board may alter this division of responsibilities at any time in accordance with the Board Charter, the Constitution and the requirements of any applicable laws.
Limits of authority have been put in place by the Board for the CEO and senior management, and the CEO is accountable to the Board for the authority delegated to other levels of management.
The Board has established various Committees to assist it in discharging specific responsibilities. Details of the Board Committees and their respective Charters are provided in Section 4 of this Corporate Governance Statement.
As part of the Board’s regular review of corporate governance practices, the Board Charter was revised in September 2008. A copy of the Charter is available at the Corporate Governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com.

1.2 Composition of the Board
The Constitution of Lend Lease sets the minimum number of Directors at three. The Board, which is permitted to do so in accordance with the Constitution, has fixed the maximum number of Directors at nine.
There are currently nine Directors on the Board, two Executive Directors and seven Non Executive Directors. Membership of the Board as at the date of this Annual Report is set out in the table on the facing page.
The composition of the Board embraces diversity. The Directors have a range of local and international experience and expertise, and specialised skills to assist with decision making and leading the Group for the benefit of shareholders.
Assisted by the Nomination Committee, the Board selects Directors having regard to, among other things, an individual’s skills, experience and expertise. For further information on the selection of new Directors, refer to part 4.2 of this Corporate Governance Statement. Biographical details for the Directors are provided in the Directors’ Report on page 70.
1.3 Independent Directors
current board composition
The Board has a majority of independent Directors. This is in accordance with the Board Charter, which requires the Board to have a majority of Non Executive Directors who are considered by the Board to be independent.
The Board considers that all seven Non Executive Directors, David Crawford (Chairman), Phillip Colebatch, Gordon Edington, Peter Goldmark, Julie Hill, Mark Selway and David Ryan, are independent.
Executive Directors, Greg Clarke (Managing Director and CEO) and Ross Taylor (Global Chief Operating Officer), are not considered to be Independent Directors due to their integral involvement in the day-to-day management of the Group’s business.
2008 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation 19
Corporate governance continued
policy on independence
The Board’s Policy on the independence of Directors, which sets out the criteria and guidelines for assessing the independence of Directors, assists the Board in determining whether a Director is to be regarded as independent.
The predominant test used by the Board is whether the Director is independent of management and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment. This general test of independence is supplemented by specific criteria and thresholds, which encompass the definition of independence set out in the ASX Recommendations. A copy of the Policy is available at the Corporate Governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com.
The Board evaluates the materiality of any interests or relationships that could be perceived to compromise independence on a case-by-case basis, having regard to the circumstances of each Director. Where the Board is satisfied in the circumstances that the Director meets the general test of independence, the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine that a Director is independent even though not all of the criteria under the Policy are satisfied. Where the Board makes such a determination, it will make an appropriate disclosure to the market and in the Annual Report at the time of the Director’s appointment.
circumstances which May be perceived to affect a director’s independence
Having regard to the current composition of the Board, the Board has determined two Directors to be independent notwithstanding the existence of factors which could be perceived to impact on their independence.
The Board does not consider David Crawford’s independence to be compromised by his previous association with KPMG, on the basis that he resigned as a Partner and Australian National Chairman of KPMG in June 2001, prior to his appointment to the Lend Lease Board, and has no financial arrangements with KPMG, including pension arrangements, retainers or advisory fees. Mr Crawford has never been part of KPMG’s audit practice, nor in any way involved in, or able to influence, the audit activity associated with the Group.
The Board considers David Ryan independent notwithstanding that, before his appointment to the Board, Mr Ryan (as a principal of Ryvan Pty Limited) provided professional advisory services to Lend Lease in respect of the then proposed merger with General Property Trust. The Board does not consider Mr Ryan’s advisory role to have compromised his independence given that his role related to a specific transaction and was for a limited period in the year leading up to his appointment.
The Board assesses the independence of each Director annually and on disclosure by a Director of any new interests or relationships. Where the Board considers that an independent Director has ceased to be independent, appropriate disclosures will be made to the market.

1.4 Retirement and Re-election of Directors
Pursuant to the Constitution of Lend Lease, at each Annual General Meeting one-third of the Directors and any other Director who will have been in office for three or more Annual General Meetings since he or she was last elected (excluding the Managing Director) must retire from office and may offer themselves for re-election by the shareholders. Newly appointed Directors must seek election at the first meeting of shareholders following their appointment. The Board has reviewed the performance of those Directors standing for election or re-election at the 2008 Annual General Meeting, Peter Goldmark, David Ryan, Ross Taylor and Mark Selway and unanimously endorses their re-election.
1.5 Chairman of the Board
The Chairman of the Board is elected to the office of Chairman by the Directors. The Directors may, in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, determine the period of office the Chairman will hold. David Crawford has been Chairman of the Board since May 2003. As noted above, the Board considers that the Chairman is independent. The Chairman serves as the primary link between the Board and management, and works with the CEO and Company Secretary to set the agenda for Board meetings. It is the Chairman’s responsibility to provide leadership to the Board and ensure that the Board works effectively and discharges its responsibilities as Directors of the Company.
1.6 Meetings
The number of meetings of the Board and the Committees of the Board held during the financial year, and the attendance of Directors at those meetings, is disclosed in the Directors’ Report. There are nine scheduled meetings each year, and additional meetings are held in between scheduled meetings as required. Members of senior management may be invited to attend and present at Board meetings.
The number of Directors required to constitute a quorum is three.
1.7 Board Performance
The Board reviews its performance and the performance of each of the Directors each year. In accordance with the Board Charter, the Board undertakes an external performance review on a biennial basis, and a self-assessment of its performance each alternate year. Matters addressed in performance reviews include an evaluation of the performance of the Board and its Committees against the requirements of their respective Charters, and a review of the performance, contribution and time commitment of the Chairman, Committee Chairmen and individual Directors. The review process includes interviews with the Directors and senior management, and generates recommendations to ensure the Board continues to operate effectively and efficiently with the requisite mix of skills and experience. The Chairman of the Nomination Committee, acting in close consultation with other Board members, is responsible for conducting the annual evaluation of the CEO and the Chairman.
Further, Non Executive Directors are required pursuant to the Board Charter to consult with the Chairman before accepting new commitments which could impact on their available time.
1.8 Shareholdings
Pursuant to the Constitution of the Company, Directors are required to hold a minimum of 1,000 Lend Lease shares. In order to more closely align the interests of shareholders and Directors, it is the Board’s current policy that Non Executive Directors move, over a reasonable period, to hold the equivalent of one year’s Directors’ fees in shares. Details of Directors’ shareholdings in Lend Lease are disclosed in the Directors’ Report.
The Directors are prohibited from trading Lend Lease securities at certain times and under certain circumstances as set out in the Group’s Securities Trading Policy. More information on the Policy is provided in Section 9 of this Statement.
1.9 Induction and Briefing Programmes
New Directors are provided with a letter of appointment which sets out their rights, duties and responsibilities as a Director of Lend Lease. New Directors participate in an induction program involving comprehensive briefings from management and site visits.
All Directors have access to Group information, senior management and employees as required to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities. In addition to management briefings at every Board meeting, Directors are regularly briefed on key business and industry developments and matters material to their role as Directors. Directors also have access as required to externally administered training seminars and programs to assist the Directors in discharging their obligations as Directors of Lend Lease.
1.10 Independent Decision-Making
Pursuant to the Board Charter, any Director may seek external, independent, professional advice at the Company’s expense. The policy of the Board is that external advice will be made available to all Directors, unless the Chairman of the Board determines otherwise. It is expected that a Director will consult the Chairman of the Board, Managing Director or Company Secretary before obtaining external advice.
To further facilitate independent decision-making by the Board, a separate session for Non Executive Directors to meet without management present is scheduled as a permanent agenda item at Board meetings.
1.11 Company Secretary
Appointed by the Board, the Company Secretary works with the Chairman of the Board to monitor and enhance corporate governance processes and to ensure that Board policies and procedures are followed.
During the financial year William Hara and Sue Sharpe undertook the role of Company Secretary. Sue Sharpe retired as Company Secretary on 31 August 2008.
During the financial year, a consultant was engaged to conduct an external performance review. The review examined the performance of the Board and Board Committees, including an evaluation of the Chairman, Committee Chairmen and individual Directors.

4.2 Nomination Committee
The principal purpose of the Nomination Committee is to provide advice and support to the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to shareholders to be assured that the Board is comprised of individuals who in combination bring a mix of expertise, skills, experience and perspectives and contribute to the discharge of diligent oversight and effective corporate governance.
Membership of the Nomination Committee comprises all Non Executive Directors, chaired by Peter Goldmark.
During the period 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008, meetings of the Nomination Committee were held concurrently with full Board meetings, and were generally attended by all Non Executive Directors. Pursuant to the Nomination Committee Charter, the Committee has the following responsibilities:
-
regularly review the size and composition of the Board and the mix of expertise, skills, experience and perspectives desirable to permit the Board to execute its functions;
-
identify any competencies not adequately represented and agree the process necessary to be assured that a candidate with those competencies is selected;
-
identify and evaluate Board candidates with the assistance of recruitment consultants if required, and recommend individuals for appointment to the Board;
-
be assured that individuals recommended for appointment as Non Executive Directors expressly acknowledge, prior to their appointment, their ability to devote the time necessary to carry out their responsibilities as a Director. In satisfying this requirement, the Committee should review on a regular basis the time commitments of Non Executive Directors to provide a basis for assessing whether candidates for appointment as Non Executive Directors can (having regard to other commitments) meet these commitments;
-
review and recommend, in co-operation with management, a process for the induction and education of new Directors and a continuing education and development plan for all Non Executive Directors;
-
evaluate the performance of the Board.

Matters addressed in performance reviews will include but not be limited to an evaluation of the performance of the Board and its Committees against the requirements of their respective Charters, and a review of the performance, contribution and time commitment of the Chairman, Committee Chairmen and individual Directors;
-
review the re-election by shareholders of any Director under the retirement by rotation provisions in the Company’s Constitution and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether the Board should support the re-nomination of the retiring Director. In making the recommendation, the Committee should have regard, among other factors, to an assessment of the retiring Director’s performance by both peers and self; and
-
establish processes for the review of succession plans for the Board, taking into account both the Company’s current business operations and its future strategy and what skills and expertise may be needed on the Board in the future.
The process of selecting a new Director usually involves commissioning an international recruitment firm to identify and present appropriate candidates following a briefing as to the Board’s requirements. Candidates are interviewed by the Board. In making its selection, the Board considers the ability of candidates to devote the time necessary to fulfil their duties as a Director.
4.3 Personnel and Organisation Committee
The principal purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities in relation to establishing people management and compensation policies that:

-
ensure that human capital considerations are central to and integrated into the Company’s strategy and business plans;
-
enable the Group to attract and retain employees who can create sustainable value for stakeholders; and

6 communicating with shareholders
The Lend Lease website is the key information dissemination point to the broader market. In addition to including on the website all announcements to the market,
Lend Lease recognises the importance of maintaining investor confidence through full and timely disclosure to shareholders and the market. The Group has an External Communications and Continuous Disclosure Policy in place, setting out protocols applicable to Directors, executive officers and employees designed to ensure that Lend Lease complies with its continuous disclosure obligations. Pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the Company Secretary and the Corporate Disclosure Manager are responsible for all communications with the Australian and New Zealand Stock Exchanges. The Policy explains the continuous disclosure obligations of Lend Lease, the procedure to be followed when information needs to be disclosed to the market, and the consequences of breaching the Policy. It sets out management accountabilities for ensuring that the market is fully informed, as well as procedures governing analyst briefings and public comment by Group spokespersons. The Policy is included on the Group’s intranet for reference by all employees. A copy of the Policy is also available from the corporate governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com.
-
copies of current and past annual and half-year reports can be downloaded from the website;
-
presentations made to analysts or institutional investors are included on the website; and
-
market briefings to analysts and institutional investors are webcast live and archived on the website for three months. Presentation material used during a webcast can be viewed simultaneously or accessed from the archive subsequently.
Group executives and the Chairman also meet with investors and their representatives on a regular basis to discuss the Group and its performance.
The Annual General Meeting is the primary opportunity for shareholders to meet face-to-face with the Board and senior executives. All shareholders receive the Notice of Meeting detailing time and venue, and outlining the resolutions to be put to the Meeting. Accompanying the Notice is a proxy form, instructions on completion and lodgement, and a postage paid, addressed return envelope to encourage maximum shareholder participation. The Notice also invites shareholders to submit questions ahead of the Meeting through an online facility. During the Meeting the Chairman will seek to address as many of the more frequently raised topics as possible within the time available.
In addition to complying with the continuous disclosure obligations imposed by law, Lend Lease is committed to ensuring that information about the Group’s activities reaches the investor community in a timely and readily accessible manner. All Stock Exchange announcements are:
-

Additionally, interested parties can register for an email alert service which notifies them of new announcements;
-
distributed to major wire services; and

7 Risk Management
7.1 Enterprise Risk Management
The Group uses an Enterprise Risk Management approach to identify, evaluate, address, monitor, quantify and report material risks to the Risk Management and Audit Committee. The objective of this approach is to enhance stakeholder value through continuous improvement in the Group’s management of risk.
The Group’s Corporate Risk Management is led by the Group Head of Risk and Insurance. Corporate Risk Management liaises with business unit CEOs and risk specialists on both business specific and enterprise-wide risks.
Corporate Risk Management’s objective is to assist the Group’s businesses to further develop their risk management processes. Its role includes:
-
advising on and implementing risk treatment strategies at Group level;
-
assisting management to embed Enterprise Risk Management;
-
assisting Group businesses to implement and maintain effective risk management practices;
-
maintaining effective early warning reporting systems; and
-
consolidating information for presentation to the Risk Management and Audit Committee.
Operational businesses are responsible for implementing self-assurance programs to assess the effectiveness of risk management procedures. Formal internal and external audit procedures are utilised to provide supplementary assurance. The Group uses sensitivity analysis and value at risk modelling to identify the most important assumptions affecting the delivery of the Group’s business plans.
The Group’s approach to risk management is guided by the Australian/New Zealand Standard on Risk Management, AS/NZ4360 and the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Committee (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management framework. A copy of the Group’s Risk Management Policy Statement is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com.
7.2 Integrity in Financial Reporting, Risk Management and Internal Control
In accordance with the Company’s legal obligations, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have declared in writing to the Board that, for the year ended 30 June 2008:
With regard to the Company’s financial reports:
-
the Company’s financial records have been properly maintained in accordance with section 286 of the Corporations Act; and
-
the Company’s financial statements present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company’s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
With regard to risk management and internal compliance and control systems of the Company:
-
the statements made with respect to the integrity of the Company’s financial reports are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control systems which, in all material respects, implement the policies adopted by the Board of Directors; and
-
the risk management and internal compliance and control systems, to the extent they relate to financial reporting, are operating effectively and efficiently in all material respects.
-
Since 30 June 2008, nothing has come to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer that would indicate any material change to any of the statements made above.

8 external auditor
KPMG is the external auditor of Lend Lease and its controlled entities. KPMG, or its predecessors, was appointed at the first Annual General Meeting of the Company in 1958.
8.1 Performance Management
It is the responsibility of the Risk Management and Audit Committee to oversee and appraise the quality and effectiveness of the audits conducted by the external auditor.
8.2 Appointment and Rotation
The Risk Management and Audit Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board as to re-appointment or replacement of the auditor and the rotation of the lead audit engagement partner. The audit engagement partner is rotated every five years. The current audit engagement partner is Chris Hall who was appointed with effect from 1 July 2006.
8.3 Provision of Non Audit and Other Services
In September 2006 the Board renewed its Policy on the provision of audit and other services by the external auditor. Pursuant to the Committee Charter, the Risk Management and Audit Committee must approve the appointment of the external auditor for other service engagements in compliance with this Policy.
Pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the auditor should be appointed for other service engagements only where it is best suited to undertake the work. The Policy further provides that the auditor should not provide services having the potential to impair the independence of its role. Generally these include the following services:
-
bookkeeping, preparation of, and other services in relation to, accounting records and financial statements;
-
design and implementation of financial information systems or financial controls;
-
valuation services, appraisals or fairness opinions, where the results are material to the financial statements or where the external auditor would be required to audit those statements or opinions;
-
outsourced internal audit services;
-
secondments;
-
recruitment and other human resources services, including international assignee services;
-
actuarial services;
-
management functions;
-
legal services;
-
taxation advice of a strategic or tax planning nature;
-
broker-dealer, investment advisor or investment banking services;
-
work that is remunerated through a ‘success fee’ structure;
8.4 Attendance at Annual General Meeting
The external auditor is required to attend the Annual General Meeting, and is available to answer any questions on the conduct of any audits and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.
8.5 Auditor’s Independence
In accordance with section 307C of the Corporations Act and in relation to the audit conducted by the external auditor, the external auditor is required to provide to the Company a written declaration that, to the best of the auditor’s knowledge and belief, there have been no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements set out in the Corporations Act or any applicable code of professional conduct.
A copy of the Lead Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act has been included in the Directors’ Report.
8.6 Fees
Fees paid to the auditor during the financial year are detailed in the Directors’ Report.
9 trading in Lend Lease shares
Lend Lease has developed a Securities Trading Policy to assist Directors and employees to comply with their legal obligations while they are in possession of price-sensitive information. This policy reinforces the insider trading provisions of the Corporations Act. A copy of the Policy is available at the corporate governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com.
The Policy contains an explanation and prohibition of insider trading, and sets out restrictions on dealing in Lend Lease securities. Directors and designated executives may only deal in Lend Lease securities during the six-week period commencing on the third business day after:
-
the announcement of the annual results;
-
the announcement of the half-year results; and – the Annual General Meeting.
The Policy restricts all other employees from dealing in Lend Lease securities between the close of the financial year, or half year, and a day which is at least the next business day after the announcement of the Company’s results.
Notwithstanding any period where trading is permitted in accordance with the Securities Trading Policy, each person covered by the Policy is prohibited from dealing in Lend Lease securities if they are in possession of price-sensitive information that is not generally available to the public.
The Company also prohibits Directors, designated executives and employees from entering into transactions or arrangements that operate to limit the economic risk of unvested entitlements to Lend Lease securities.
-
expert services unrelated to the audit; and
-
work that involves the auditor acting in an advocacy role for the Group.
The Chief Financial Officer and the auditor are each required to provide a statement that the non audit assignment will not impair the auditor’s independence. As detailed in the Directors’ Report, the Board considers that the provision of non audit services by the auditor during the financial year is consistent with auditor independence requirements.

10 the Lend Lease core values
10.1 Core Values
Lend Lease actively subscribes to a set of Core Values. These Core Values underpin how the Group does business, how it interacts with stakeholders, and how its people operate in the workplace. The Core Values are promoted across all of the Group’s businesses and are as follows:
==> picture [406 x 243] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
respect Respect for all people – their ideas, their culture, their views, their health and
safety, and their knowledge
Integrity Integrity is non-negotiable. We don’t do it if it compromises the individual or
the Company’s integrity. In particular, we will not compromise on safety, either
within our organisation or in doing business with any of our clients or suppliers
Innovation Challenge and seek to find a better solution, think outside the box and dare to
do things differently. Be innovative and creative – don’t just do it because we
did it yesterday
Collaboration Redefine the way our business works by truly sharing knowledge, building on
this and drawing insights. Through teamwork we value the insights of others
and build on them – we must truly take the time to help
excellence We strive for excellence in all we do. It is evident not only in the products and
services we deliver, but in how we deliver them. Our employees embody
excellence – whether it be in the decisions they make, the products they build,
or the service they deliver. On construction sites in particular, but everywhere,
excellence equals zero incidents
----- End of picture text -----
10.2 Code of Conduct
The Lend Lease Code of Conduct supports the Core Values and provides guidance for employees on the standards that the Company expects in the conduct of its operations. The Code of Conduct has been endorsed by the Board and applies to the Directors and every employee across the Group. Issues covered by the Code include conflicts of interest, insider trading, bribes and unauthorised payments, proper use of Company assets, equal opportunity for employees, confidentiality, fair dealing, and seeking or providing assistance when faced with behaviour which seems to depart from the Code. The Code is supported by various global, regional and local business unit policies and procedures. Employees are encouraged to report all instances of actual or potential breaches of the Code of Conduct to their manager or a representative from the human resources, legal or compliance teams.
Copies of the Lend Lease Core Values and Code of Conduct are available from the Corporate Governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com.
10.3 Conflicts of Interest
Directors are required, upon their appointment, to disclose to the Company any interests or directorships which they have with other organisations. Directors are required to update this information with the Company if it changes during the course of the Directorship. Further, Directors and senior executives are required to identify any conflicts of interest they may have in dealing with the Group’s affairs and refrain, as appropriate, from participating in any discussion or voting on these matters. In addition to general guidelines in the Code of Conduct, a range of procedures designed to ensure compliance with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and the highest standards in relation to managing conflicts of interest have been implemented at a Group and business level. Directors are required to raise any matters that may give rise to a conflict of interest with the Company Secretary.
10.4 Political Donations
As a matter of policy, Lend Lease does not use Company funds to make donations to political parties or individuals holding or standing for public office. Lend Lease does, however, participate in public policy debate on issues that may impact the Group’s businesses and the interests of stakeholders. At times, fees are paid for Group employees to attend political functions (such as conferences and lunches) which involve discussion of issues relevant to the Group.

1 Profit after tax is after adjusting for the loss attributable to minority interests of A$6.4 million (June 2007: A$2.7 million profit after tax).
2 Represents the unrealised valuation movement on property investments that are consolidated or accounted for using the equity method in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Profit After Tax
The Group’s statutory profit after tax decreased by 47% to A$265.4 million. The decrease in profit after tax is after recognising an adjustment to reduce the carrying value of inventory in Crosby Lend Lease (Crosby) by A$121.5 million after tax and net unrealised property investment revaluation losses on retail investments of A$60.2 million after tax. Operating profit after tax remained broadly flat at A$447.1 million. Excluding the interest received from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) of A$32.2 million after tax in the prior year, operating profit increased by 8%. Additionally, operating profit after tax was negatively impacted by foreign exchange movements of A$30.7 million.
The Retail business includes net operating income from the Group’s direct investment in retail properties and property management and development fees. There was no profit realised from sales of retail property investments in the financial year.
There was a 27% increase in residential land settlements in the Communities business in Australia due to improved trading conditions in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. This was offset by a decrease in residential built-form settlements and commercial sales in the year. Pre-sold units that had not settled at 30 June 2008 increased as a result of strong residential built-form sales in Sydney and Melbourne.
The UK residential market has experienced a significant slowdown, which has resulted in an A$30.7 million decline in operating profit after tax from the UK Communities business.
Investment Management continued its policy of recycling capital with the sale of a proportion of its interest in Australian Prime Property Funds (APPF) for a profit after tax of A$40.1 million. In Europe, profit after tax includes a tax exempt dividend of A$47.9 million from the Group’s interest in the advisor company to Lend Lease Global Properties, SICAF (Global Fund) in relation to incentive fees received, and profit distributions from the Group’s investment in the Global Fund of A$9.2 million after tax.
Project Management and Construction profit after tax increased in Asia Pacific, reflecting strong market conditions and the successful completion of a number of projects in Australia. Performance improved in Europe, although this business continues to be impacted by the work out of the loss making UK projects reported in the prior year and margin reductions on a number of projects. In the Americas, profit after tax was impacted by costs relating to a fire at the former Deutsche Bank project in New York.
Corporate costs after tax remained broadly flat. Group Treasury profit after tax decreased as the prior year included the recognition of interest income following a favourable judgement in the Federal Court in a tax dispute with the ATO.
In light of the difficult trading conditions in the UK residential market, Crosby has reduced the carrying value of its inventory by A$121.5 million after tax. In addition, statutory profit includes unrealised property investment revaluation losses of A$60.2 million after tax principally due to the expansion in capitalisation rates in the UK.
Profit after tax from the PPP business increased in the year due to a higher contribution from Actus Lend Lease (Actus). During the year Actus reached financial close on six projects and was named preferred bidder on one further project. In the UK, profit after tax decreased due to higher bid costs as new PPP projects came to market. The prior year also included the recovery of bid costs, principally on achieving financial close on the Lancashire Schools Phase 1 project.

1 EPS is calculated using the weighted average number of shares on issue including treasury shares. Under the Australian Accounting Standards, shares held in employee benefit vehicles including employee share plans, which Lend Lease sponsors, are treated as Treasury shares and are excluded from the calculation. This would have the effect of increasing the EPS calculations above if applied.
-
2 The EPS calculation in the prior year includes the interest received from the ATO of A$32.2 million after tax. Excluding the interest from the ATO, the earnings per share on operating profit is 103.3 cents per share.
-
3 ROE is calculated based on statutory profit after tax and average equity.
-
4 ROE (excluding inventory carrying value adjustment) is calculated excluding the inventory carrying value adjustment in Crosby of A$121.5 million after tax from both profit and average equity.
Dividends
A final 45% franked dividend of 34 cents per share will be paid on 26 September 2008 (June 2007: 42 cents per share 50% franked). On a full year basis, this represents a payout ratio of 69.1% of operating profit after tax. The full year dividend of 77 cents per share is in line with last year.

2 Calculated as borrowings including other financial liabilities divided by total tangible assets.
3 Calculated as operating EBITDA plus interest revenue divided by gross finance costs, including capitalised finance costs.
The Group’s net debt as at 30 June 2008 was A$86.5 million, excluding other financial liabilities of A$200.9 million. The Group’s gearing remains low and interest coverage at 7.2 times is above the Group’s internal target.
The Group is in a strong liquidity position with un-drawn committed bank facilities of A$808.6 million as at 30 June 2008. In addition, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of A$842.8 million.
The average maturity of Lend Lease’s drawn debt at 30 June 2008 was 11 years, with the earliest maturity date being October 2012. The principal un-drawn committed facility is the £350.0 million syndicated bank facility, which matures in November 2010.
At 30 June 2008, the mix of borrowings, including the Bluewater lease, was 84% at fixed rates and 16% at floating rates. The Group continues to maintain an investment-grade credit rating.

Operating cash inflows of A$268.7 million represent the underlying cash flows from the Group’s operating businesses net of continued investment in property developments. Operating cash inflows include the receipt of the tax refund and associated interest from the resolution of the tax dispute with the ATO.
Investing cash inflows of A$364.5 million reflect the Group’s recycling of capital including the sale of a proportion of its interest in APPF for a consideration of A$263.8 million and the net redemption of negotiable instruments of A$331.0 million. These cash inflows have been partially offset by the acquisition of investments such as Preston Tithebarn Unit Trust, Craigieburn and PPP loan stock.
Financing cash outflows of A$312.4 million principally relate to dividend payments of A$315.5 million (June 2007: A$237.2 million). The prior year included borrowings of £300.0 million raised from the issue of notes in the UK public bond market, offset by the net repayment of £185.0 million of the £350.0 million syndicated bank facility.

1 Represents Lend Lease’s share of income before tax from investments net of direct expenses and allocated overhead, excluding property investment revaluations.
2 Lend Lease’s share of income for 30 June 2008 includes gains on the disposal or redemption of available for sale financial assets of A$67.0 million (June 2007: A$133.4 million).
3 Market value is based on independent valuations and is net of project-specific debt.
Lend Lease held property investments, directly or indirectly, with a market value of A$2.6 billion at 30 June 2008. The decrease in market value is attributable to the sale of a proportion of the Group’s interest in APPF, foreign exchange movements and valuation adjustments across the portfolio. There has been a weakening of capitalisation rates in the UK, which has negatively impacted on market values in the year.
The independent market value of 100% of Bluewater at 30 June 2008 decreased by 12% to £1,902.0 million (A$3,962.5 million). Lend Lease’s 30% direct interest decreased in value by A$371.2 million, including negative foreign exchange movements, to A$1,188.8 million. As Bluewater is held as inventory, the asset is recorded at historical cost in the financial statements, which at 30 June 2008 was A$520.7 million (June 2007: A$596.1 million).
The value of Lend Lease’s 50% interest in King of Prussia increased by 1% to US$400.6 million, although the Australian dollar equivalent value decreased.
Other retail investments held by Retail have decreased by A$54.2 million due to a decline in the market value, including foreign exchange movements, across the UK portfolio. The Group acquired an interest in the Preston Tithebarn Unit Trust for A$36.3 million in the year.
Other retail investments held by Investment Management reduced by A$260.6 million primarily due to the sale of a proportion of the Group’s interest in APPF. The market value of the Group’s remaining interest in APPF increased by 9% and the market value of Asia Pacific Investment Company No. 2 Limited (APIC II) increased by 23%. These revaluation increases were offset by a decrease, including foreign exchange movements, in the value of the Group’s UK investments.
Other investments in Investment Management decreased by A$52.6 million primarily due to capital returns from the Asia Pacific Investment Company Limited (APIC) and the sale of a proportion of the Group’s interest in Cohen & Steers, SICAV. Cohen & Steers, SICAV is a legacy position related to the former Real Estate Investment (REI) business. During the year, the Group’s interest in property investments generated investment income EBITDA of A$121.4 million, excluding gains on the disposal or redemption of available for sale financial assets.

Total operating profit after tax in Asia Pacific increased by A$2.6 million from the prior year as property management fees increased from new properties under management and developments in Australia and Asia. In Europe, total operating profit after tax declined by A$9.4 million due to higher overheads as the business continued to invest in its development pipeline. In addition, the prior year included a residual profit relating to Chapelfield, Norwich. Profit after tax in the Americas relates to the Group’s interest in King of Prussia.
Net property investment revaluation losses of A$71.5 million after tax were recognised in the year due to the value of retail investments being negatively impacted by current market conditions, principally in the UK.
Retail – Asia Pacific
In Asia Pacific, Lend Lease holds a direct ownership interest in four development opportunities. The business is currently undertaking master planning and development management of seven centres in Australia and two in Asia with an estimated gross development cost of A$2.7 billion (June 2007: A$2.1 billion). In addition, the business carries out the property management of nine centres in Australia and two in Asia with a total gross lettable area of 599,700 square metres (sqm).
Key trading events in the year include:
-
Construction and pre-leasing progressing on schedule at the 313@Somerset retail development, one of the last remaining major retail development opportunities on Orchard Road, Singapore. The development is expected to be completed in 2010. Lend Lease has a 25% direct ownership interest in the development with the remaining 75% held by Lend Lease Asian Retail Investment Fund, in which Lend Lease holds a 10.1% interest. Lend Lease is managing all phases of the project including development, leasing, project management and design and construction and, on completion, asset and property management;
-
Construction commencing on the 420 George Street retail and office development in the Sydney central business district. APPF Retail (APPFR) holds a 25% interest in the retail development and APPF Commercial (APPFC) holds a 25% interest in the office development, alongside an external owner who holds the remaining 75%. Completion of this development is expected in 2011. Lend Lease is undertaking development management, retail leasing, design and construction and, on completion, retail property management;
-
Commencing the redevelopment of the Paradiz Centre, a retail and office building in Singapore. Completion of the redevelopment is expected in 2009. Lend Lease has a 25% direct ownership interest in the asset and is managing all phases of the project including development, leasing, project management, design and construction and, on completion, asset and property management;
-
Acquisition of Craigieburn, a greenfield mixed use development opportunity in Northern Melbourne, Victoria.

Lend Lease is managing all phases of the project including development, leasing, project management, design and construction and, on completion, asset and property management.
Retail – Europe
In Europe, Lend Lease’s Retail business includes an ownership interest in five retail centres in the UK. The business has development opportunities at three centres, which are expected to deliver an additional 236,900 sqm of retail space at an estimated gross development cost of A$2.1 billion (June 2007: A$3.2 billion). The business carries out the asset management of five centres with a total gross lettable area of 331,400 sqm.
Key trading events in the year include:
-
Acquiring a 50% interest in the Tithebarn, Preston scheme from Grosvenor Estates. The roles and responsibilities for the delivery of the project are shared equally with Grosvenor Estates;
-
In January 2008, the Performance Retail Limited Partnership sold its interest in the Cameron Toll shopping centre in Edinburgh at book value;
-
During the year the Development Management Service Agreement with Minerva Plc was terminated on Park Place, Croydon. In addition, the Cooperation Agreement with Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council for the development of Bridgefield, Stockport expired. As preferred developer status is no longer held on these projects, they have been removed from the development pipeline;
-
Statutory profit includes unrealised investment revaluation losses of A$64.7 million after tax. Market conditions in the UK have deteriorated, which has resulted in an expansion of retail capitalisation rates.
Retail – Americas
In the Americas, Lend Lease’s Retail business comprises a 50% ownership interest in the partnership that owns the King of Prussia Mall in Pennsylvania. Lend Lease’s share of partnership income for the year was up 4% in US dollar terms compared to the prior year.

Overview of Business
The Communities business is involved in the development of large scale urban regeneration and greenfield development projects. The Lend Lease business model includes land sourcing, master planning and design, product development and marketing. The scale and scope of the Communities development positions ensure earnings are derived from a diverse range of projects. This diversity reduces the portfolio risk and also generates product for both the Investment Management and Project Management and Construction businesses.
Key Financial Results

Operating profit after tax for the year decreased by A$43.1 million to A$100.3 million. This primarily relates to a reduction in the contribution from Crosby due to the significant slowdown in the UK residential market. In Asia Pacific, there was a change in product mix in the year with a significant increase in residential land settlements being offset by a decrease in residential built-form settlements and commercial sales. Residential built-form sales are recognised on completion of the relevant building and therefore can vary significantly from year to year. The estimated sales value of the Communities backlog is more than A$30.0 billion with a total residential backlog of 116,925 units and a total commercial backlog at 5.0 million sqm.
In light of the difficult trading conditions in the UK residential market, Crosby has reduced the carrying value of its inventory by A$121.5 million after tax.

5 The number of units settled and pre-sales number of units are not relevant measures for Commercial.
Key trading events in the year include:

A change in product mix in the year, with a significant increase in residential land settlements being offset by a decrease in residential built-form settlements. The prior year also included the profit after tax from the sale of three Communities projects to the Lend Lease Communities Fund 1 and the sale of the Keperra retirement village to the Lend Lease Core Plus Fund. There were no similar sales of residential projects or retirement villages in the current year;
-
The total number of residential land units settled increased by 27% to 3,104 units. Residential land settlements increased significantly due to improved trading conditions in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia;
-

-
Residential built-form units settled declined by 47 units to 283 units as the prior year included the settlement of 133 units at Dock 5, Victoria Harbour. The current year included the first built-form settlements at Nelsons Ridge and Rouse Hill in Sydney as well as continued built-form settlements at Edgewater in Melbourne and St. Patrick’s Estate in Sydney;
-
The average sales price per residential built-form unit decreased 29% from A$1.0 million to A$731,000, which reflects the significant proportion of high value Dock 5 apartments at Victoria Harbour that settled in the prior year;
-
Total gross sales value settled of A$949.7 million was broadly in line with the prior year due to increased residential land settlements offsetting lower residential built-form settlements;
-
The carry-over position for residential land lots pre-sold as at 30 June 2008 is 1,217 units, which is in line with the prior year. Residential built-form pre-sales increased to 362 units at 30 June 2008, with strong sales at Victoria Harbour, Melbourne, and Jacksons Landing, Sydney;

Key trading events in the year include:
-
Operating profit after tax has decreased by A$30.7 million principally due to a decrease in the profit contribution from Crosby as a result of the significant slowdown of the UK residential market. This was partially offset by the profit from the settlement of units at Adelaide Wharf;
-
In light of the difficult trading conditions in the UK residential market, Crosby has reduced the carrying value of its inventory by A$121.5 million after tax;
-
The gross sales value of units settled decreased by A$143.0 million primarily due to the slowdown in the UK housing market;
-
The average sales price per residential unit decreased due to reductions in sales prices in line with current market conditions and changes in product mix across existing projects. The major projects contributing to sales revenue in the year were Clarence Dock, Leeds, and Green Quarter, Manchester, where in the prior year sales revenue included settlements from higher priced product at Navigation Street, Birmingham and Quay Street, Manchester;
-
Commercial revenue of A$28.4 million primarily relates to the sale of office and commercial space at Clarence Dock in Leeds;
-
The gross sales value of pre-sales declined to A$41.6 million, reflecting the slowdown in the UK residential market;
-
Backlog residential units were 14,470 at 30 June 2008, which is in line with last year;
-
Communities – Europe has a 45% investment in First Base. In addition to its equity stake in First Base, Lend Lease directly invested in the Company’s first project, Adelaide Wharf, which comprised 147 apartments, all of which settled in the year;
-
The Greenwich Peninsula project is a mixed-use development on 59 hectares of land on the Greenwich Peninsula in London. The project will be developed through a combination of land sales to third party developers and direct development with joint venture partners. Construction has commenced on the first commercial development and two residential sites are expected to commence in 2009;
-
In March 2007, Lend Lease was appointed as preferred bidder for the development of Stratford City zones two to seven by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and London and Continental Railways (LCR). The project involves a mixed-use development on 54 hectares of land with an existing planning consent on 9.4 million square feet. The first stage of development involves building the Athletes’ Village for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Lend Lease is in negotiations with the ODA and LCR to agree a Regeneration Agreement governing the development arrangements. Lend Lease and its partners First Base and East Thames are currently working under interim arrangements to progress the development in advance of signing the Regeneration Agreement.

FUM (excluding joint ventures) increased by A$0.4 billion to A$9.3 billion in the year. In Asia Pacific, FUM increased to A$7.1 billion, with additions of A$0.7 billion largely related to property acquisitions in APPF of A$0.4 billion and the Group securing a new managed investment mandate on behalf of a major institutional investor of A$0.2 billion. Revaluation gains in Asia Pacific, across existing managed assets, added A$0.4 billion. In Europe, the value of FUM declined by A$0.6 billion as a result of negative foreign exchange movements and a net revaluation decrease.
The Australian business secured a pipeline of acquisitions and new development opportunities during the year. On completion, this pipeline will add A$0.9 billion to FUM over the following four years. These amounts include A$0.4 billion of future FUM that relate to the new managed investment mandate. This new pipeline excludes development opportunities on existing managed assets across the platform.
The Group sold its interest in the Resolution Capital joint venture in July 2007.

Project Management and Construction profit after tax was A$147.2 million, an increase of A$103.9 million over the prior year. The June 2007 result included an A$118.8 million after tax provision taken against certain UK projects, including the Manchester Joint Hospitals project. Profit after tax for the year was negatively impacted by foreign exchange movements of A$9.8 million.
Total revenue increased by A$0.4 billion. Revenue was negatively impacted by foreign exchange movements of A$1.3 billion. The increase in revenue, excluding foreign exchange movements, reflects higher volumes in Asia Pacific and the Americas.
Key trading events in the year include:
asia pacific
− Profit after tax increased by A$14.4 million, reflecting the strong market conditions and successful completion of a number of projects in Australia. Key contributions to GPM in Australia included the Rouse Hill Town Centre retail project in Sydney, the Queensland Government Preparatory Schools Rollout and the Correctional Facilities projects in Queensland, and the ATO building and Australian Capital Territory Correctional Facility in Canberra. In Asia, the telecommunications rollout in Japan and the Singapore Capacity Expansion Project were key contributors during the year.
americas
− Profit after tax for the Americas business of A$59.7 million is an A$6.2 million decrease on the prior year. Profit after tax was negatively impacted by foreign exchange movements of A$8.4 million and costs relating to the fire at the former Deutsche Bank project in New York. Key contributions to GPM included the Mets Stadium, the residential projects at 15 William Street in New York and Paramount Bay in Miami, and the Trump Taj Mahal hotel project in Atlantic City.

europe
- The European business contributed A$18.5 million in profit after tax for the year. Performance improved although this business continues to be impacted by the work out of the UK projects where a provision was taken in the prior year and margin reductions on a number of projects. Key contributions to GPM included the Ministry of Defence SLAM project, the commercial projects at 200 Aldersgate Street and Morgan Stanley Phases 2–7, and the BP Global Alliance.
profitability Ratio
The strong performance in Asia Pacific resulted in the profitability ratio for the region (defined as EBITDA divided by realised GPM) increasing to 50% (June 2007: 44%). The profitability ratio in the Americas declined to 34% (June 2007: 47%). The return to profitability in Europe has resulted in a profitability ratio of 17% this year.

1 Although backlog GPM is run off over several years, the average foreign exchange rate for the current year has been applied to the closing backlog GPM balance in its entirety, as the average rates for later years cannot be predicted. In local currency, the Americas backlog GPM was US$213.0 million (June 2007: US$234.0 million) and the European backlog GPM was £121.3 million (June 2007: £119.8 million).
New work secured is the total project GPM to be earned from projects secured during the year, net of margin movements. Total new work secured was impacted by a negative movement in foreign exchange of A$40.4 million.
Backlog GPM is the expected GPM to be realised in future financial years from contracts committed at the end of the year. Backlog GPM at 30 June 2008 was negatively impacted by foreign exchange movements of A$59.5 million. Notwithstanding the impact of foreign exchange movements, Backlog GPM has increased to A$788.3 million.

interest Revenue and expenses
-
Interest revenue decreased by A$24.3 million before tax largely due to the recognition in the prior year of interest from the ATO of A$46.0 million. This interest was recognised following the Federal Court judgement in favour of Lend Lease in an outstanding tax dispute. Excluding this amount, interest revenue increased by A$21.7 million, reflecting both higher average cash balances and interest rates;
-
The interest rate on invested cash averaged 6.1% per annum for the year (June 2007: 5.3% per annum);
-
Interest expense and borrowing costs remained relatively flat compared to the previous year. There has been no significant movement in the Group’s borrowing position.
hedging and foreign exchange exposure
- Lend Lease hedges material foreign currency cash flows. Any foreign exchange gains or losses arising on the underlying cash flow or the hedging of business unit cash flows are allocated to the business unit’s operating profit;
group Liquidity
-
At 30 June 2008, the Group was in a strong liquidity position with un-drawn committed bank facilities of A$808.6 million. In addition, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of A$842.8 million;
-
The Group’s net debt as at 30 June 2008 was A$86.5 million, excluding other financial liabilities (principally the Bluewater lease) of A$200.9 million;
-
The average maturity of Lend Lease’s drawn debt at 30 June 2008 was 11 years, with the earliest maturity date being October 2012. The principal un-drawn committed facility is the £350.0 million syndicated bank facility, which matures in November 2010;
-
At 30 June 2008, the mix of borrowings, including the Bluewater lease, was 84% at fixed rates and 16% at floating rates.
-
Lend Lease uses natural hedging, where possible, to minimise its exposure to foreign denominated net assets. The remaining net assets are hedged at the discretion of management. The impact of foreign exchange movements on the Group’s net assets is accounted for in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR). In the year, the FCTR decreased by A$111.5 million, primarily due to changes in UK and USA exchange rates.

1 GLA represents the gross lettable area of the centres.
2 Estimated additional GLA and gross development cost are dependent on future planning approvals and are subject to commercial feasibility and approvals from joint venture partners.
- 3 Lend Lease holds an indirect interest through its investment in APPF.
4 Lend Lease owns 25% of the 313@Somerset retail development directly, with the remaining 75% held by ARIF in which the Lend Lease Group has a 10.1% interest.
5 During the year Lend Lease acquired a 50% interest in the Tithebarn, Preston scheme from Grosvenor Estates. The roles and responsibilities for the delivery of the project are being shared equally with Grosvenor Estates.
6 During the year the Development Management Service Agreement with Minerva Plc was terminated on Park Place, Croydon. As preferred developer status is no longer held, Park Place has been removed from the development pipeline.
7 At June 2007, the development pipeline included the development of Arndale, Eastbourne. This project has been removed from the development pipeline following a decision by Eastbourne City Council to re-tender the Development Agreement in order to comply with EU procurement processes. Whilst the re-tendering process is carried out Lend Lease no longer holds preferred developer status.
8 At 31 December 2007, the development pipeline included the development of Bridgefield, Stockport. On 30 April 2008, the Cooperation Agreement with Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council expired. As preferred developer status is no longer held, this project has been removed from the development pipeline.

d. Significant Changes in State of Affairs There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of Lend Lease.
e. Event Subsequent to Balance Date
No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years other than the following:
Bovis UK Pension Scheme
Subsequent to 30 June 2008 the terms of the Bovis UK Pension Scheme were amended to close the Scheme to the accrual of future benefits with the effect from 31 August 2008. As at 30 June 2008, a liability for the defined benefit obligation of A$118.1 million was recognised (refer to Note 22. ‘Defined Benefit Plan Liability’). A benefit to the income statement is expected to arise from the amended terms in the forthcoming financial year. An actuarial assessment post 31 August 2008 will be performed to determine the amount of the benefit arising from the curtailment.
f. Likely Developments
Details of likely developments in the operations of Lend Lease in subsequent financial years are contained in the reports from the Chairman and Managing Director in the Annual Report. In the opinion of the Directors, disclosure of any further information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
g. Environmental Regulation
The Group is subject to many environmental regulations associated with real estate development, project and construction management and asset management. These regulations typically relate to emissions to air and water, waste management and protection of biodiversity.
The Group businesses report quarterly on environmental regulation compliance matters, including breaches and legal or potential legal action.
The Sustainability Committee receives reports on a quarterly basis regarding any significant environmental risks and non conformance with the Environment Policy of Lend Lease. The Directors are not aware of any material non compliance issues during the period covered by this Report.
Further details are contained in the 2008 Sustainability Report.

Key changes for 2008
Changes were made to the Group’s remuneration structure in the current reporting period to reinforce the alignment between key management personnel remuneration and the Group’s long term performance targets. The key changes include:
-
STI arrangements
-
Financial element: for business unit heads, the financial element is split between the operating profit after tax (adjusted for significant one off, non recurring items) of the executive’s business unit (two-thirds of financial element) and other financial value drivers relevant to each executive’s business unit (one-third of financial element);
-
Qualitative bonus qualifiers: for any part of the bonus to be paid, each executive must demonstrate achievement of either the corporate or business unit specific annual plan relating to both incident and injury free and sustainability.
-
LTI arrangements
-
The 2006 LTI award was modified on 15 August 2007 such that it will now settle in shares rather than cash, other than for executives specifically identified or in circumstances where share settlement is not practicable.
b. Remuneration Policy – Audited
Remuneration Philosophy
The philosophy of the Group’s remuneration policy is to reward senior executives with market competitive remuneration and benefits, taking account of Group, business unit or function and individual performance. In assessing these market benchmarks, the Group takes account of expert advice and the relevant external comparators in the real estate and related sectors and of companies of similar size, complexity and international scope. The remuneration of the Non Executive Directors is not linked to the performance of the Group in order to maintain their independence and impartiality.
Remuneration paid by the Group is designed to be appropriate and competitive in each of its business locations, having regard to local practice on base pay, incentives, pensions, superannuation and other benefits. The Group also recognises the need to take account of differing costs of living in relation to expatriates and this is reflected in remuneration for expatriate executives. The approach of the Group is to provide a balance of fixed and performance based remuneration.
Each year the Personnel and Organisation Committee sets the key performance indicators (KPI) for the key management personnel and other senior executives. The KPI generally include measures relating to the Group, the business unit geography or function, and the individual, and include financial, non financial, incident and injury free and sustainability measures. The measures are chosen as they directly align the individual’s reward to the KPI of the Group and to its strategy and performance.

Remuneration Structure
The remuneration framework consists of three principal elements:
| Component | Comprises | ‘At risk’? |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed Remuneration | Base salary,superannuation and other benefts | No |
| Short Term Incentive | Annual cash and an equityrelated deferral | Yes |
| LongTerm Incentive | Cash or share based benefts | Yes |
‘At risk’ implies an absence of certainty of collection of a particular component of remuneration in the event agreed-upon performance hurdles or employment conditions are not met during the reporting period. Fixed Remuneration
The salaries of the Executive Office and members of the Executive Management Team are set by the Personnel and Organisation Committee subject to approval by the Board. Salary changes usually take effect from September of each year except in the case of a new appointment. In the case of the Executive Office members and their direct reports, the Committee is assisted in this review by the Chief Executive Officer. For the forthcoming year no pay increases have been proposed for Executive Office and Executive Management Team members.
The other elements of fixed remuneration include those typically enjoyed in the geography where the key person or executive is employed. These may include car, medical cover, employee share plan subscriptions, superannuation and pension contributions, life and/or disability cover and, in the case of international assignees, housing, schooling and tax return preparation. The value of these other benefits provided to executives is set out in Section 3c. of this Report. Executives are not automatically entitled to all of these benefits.
Short Term Incentives (STI)
Under the STI arrangement, executives receive benefits dependent on the achievement of Group or business unit financial targets, incident and injury free, sustainability and individual targets. The total value of the potential benefit (target opportunity) varies by executive, but is linked to salary. Arrangements for the June 2008 Financial Year
The following table sets out the criteria required to be achieved for the current year STI.
| Financial Element | Personal Performance Element |
|---|---|
| – Represents 75% of target opportunity. | – Represents 25% of target opportunity. |
| – Measured against the current fnancial year operating proft after tax. This is measured |

| the Personnel and Organisation Committee | |
| determined that this target was not met. | |
| – Upside opportunity can be increased to | |
| +25% of target opportunity for +10% of target | |
| performance achievement. |
The benefit delivered to Executive Directors and Executives under the STI arrangement is summarised as follows:

59 Base salary 59 Total package value 29–59 Australia: Total package value UK and USA: Base salary |
1 The STI deferred element is due to vest in August 2009.
Total package value equates to base salary plus superannuation. Cash benefits are paid in September of each year. Deferred benefits are delivered in Lend Lease Corporation shares or equivalent share value in cash based on the Lend Lease Corporation share price at the date of release of the bonuses. The shares (or share value if shares are not practicable) are then held in trust on behalf of the executive for the deferral period. For executives to receive the full deferral they must be employed by the Group at the date of vesting of the deferral element. The usual deferral period will be one year from the date of the grant. Further detail is in Section 3c. of this Report.

Future Arrangements
The Board has agreed it intends to change the performance criteria under the STI for the June 2009 financial year.

Long Term Incentives (LTI)
The current LTI awards were introduced and approved by the Board in 1999 and updated and extended for awards from 2001 onwards. The objectives of the LTI are essentially twofold:
-
Aligning executives with the long term interests of the Group and its shareholders; and
-
Attracting and retaining executives of high calibre by providing competitive rewards that relate to the performance of both the individual executive and the Lend Lease Corporation share price.
LTI grants are normally made each year and are based on competitive remuneration practice. LTI grants are settled in cash or Lend Lease Corporation shares, with settlement occurring upon vesting, three years after the grant date, if performance hurdles are met. Grants depend on personal contribution and potential and are designed to retain and motivate high performing key executives. The LTI are in the form of an Australian dollar figure grant (converted from local salary for overseas participants), which is invested in performance shares (PS) over time to deliver value depending on:
-
Whether the executive remains with the Group – if the executive resigns before vesting, the grant will lapse; and
-
The performance of the Group.
The Personnel and Organisation Committee approved one change to the rules of the LTIs for the 2005 awards onwards. The rules now provide that, in the event of a change in control of Lend Lease Corporation, all awards will vest upon change in control, to the extent that performance conditions have been met. Participants would then be entitled to a pro rata settlement, with the Board having discretion to allow the entitlement to exceed this pro rata amount, if circumstances so provide.
Details of the terms of the awards on issue during the June 2008 financial year are summarised below.

Refer to Section 3d. of this Report for quantitative analysis of LTI awards on issue during the 2008 financial year and their vesting conditions.
Hedging in Relation to LTI Awards
The Group prohibits executives from entering into pre vesting hedging arrangements in relation to LTI awards. For awards made in the June 2007 financial year onwards, it is an explicit condition for awards to vest that executives declare that they have not entered into any such arrangement.
Future Arrangements
The Board is currently reviewing the structure of the LTI for awards to be granted in the June 2009 financial year.
Retention Awards
When the Board believes an employee is an outstanding performer and the Group and its shareholders will gain from further incentivising him or her to remain with the Group, a retention award may be made. As an incentive to remain with the Group requires a degree of certainty of value delivered to the individual at the end of the retention period, performance conditions are not generally applied to the ultimate payment of such an award.
Details of the current retention awards granted to the key management personnel are summarised below.
| Key Management Personnel |
Keyterms and benefts |
|---|---|
| G Clarke | The original award of 279,728 shares was granted in December 2002 and was due |
| to vest on 9 December 2007. However the award was extended with the number of | |
| shares increased by 27,973 and the vesting date changed to 20 June 2008. The award | |
| vested on 20 June 2008 at a value of A$3,012,393 based on the closing share price on | |
| that date,A$9.79. | |
| R Taylor | The equity settled award of 337,630 shares valued at A$5.5 million was granted on |
| 3 October 2006 and vests in four equal tranches on 1 September 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The frst tranche of 84,407 shares vested on 1 September 2007 at a value of |
|
| A$1,607,953. The remaining tranches will vest if Mr Taylor remains in employment with | |
| the Group. | |
| S McCann | The equity settled award of 141,367 shares valued at A$2.5 million was granted on |
| 22 August 2007 and vests on 30 June 2012. The award will vest if Mr McCann remains | |
| in employment with the Group. If Mr McCann’s employment is terminated without | |
| cause bythe Group prior to the vestingdate,the award will vest on apro rata basis. |
Refer to Sections 3d. and 3e. for further details of retention awards granted to key management personnel and other executives in the category of five highest paid.
Superannuation/Pension Plans
Pension plan arrangements are in place in most international locations. In the past, executives (and other employees) joined either a defined benefit or a defined contribution plan. Entry into all defined benefit plans has now ceased across the Group. All new Executive Directors and executives have the opportunity to join defined contribution plans.

Relationship of Remuneration to Company Performance
In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Personnel and Organisation Committee, when setting the criteria for STI and LTI awards, has regard to the financial performance of the Group. The performance in respect of these measures for the current financial year and previous four financial years is summarised in the following table.

3 June 2005 and June 2004 operating results have been restated to also exclude the impact of Group restructuring and merger costs (A$18.5 million after tax). June 2004 was based on operating results excluding the profit from the sale of IBMGSA (A$79.7 million after tax), impact of exiting the REI businesses (A$2.3 million loss after tax) and capital loss tax benefits arising from Australian tax consolidations (A$18.7 million after tax) and including capital loss tax benefits (A$13.0 million recouped against the capital gain on the sale of IBMGSA). 4 For the 2006 and 2007 LTI awards, one vesting condition is EPS, as defined in this financial report (excluding treasury shares) adjusted for unrealised property investment revaluations (unless assets have been sold).
5 For cash settled LTI awards, the starting and ending share prices are based on the weighted average daily closing price over the award period (three months for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 LTI). For share settled LTI arrangements the value is based on share prices at the date the award is granted. The table above represents the movement in the closing share price on 30 June of each financial year.
Operating profit after tax and return on capital are considered in setting the STI targets while dividends, changes in Lend Lease Corporation share price are included in the TSR calculation, which is one of the performance hurdles assessed for the LTI.
The Personnel and Organisation Committee considers that the aforementioned external performance linked remuneration structure is appropriate because it:
– Represents shareholders’ ‘bottom line’ and provides an objective measure of value created for shareholders;
- Is independent of accounting policies and accepted by institutional investors; and
– Is simple to benchmark externally.
Non Executive Directors
Board fees/ Committee fees
Board and Committee fees are set by reference to factors such as responsibilities and risks attached to the role, time commitment expected, independent advice and fees paid by peer companies. Current Board fees per annum are:
- A$140,000 for Board members (30 June 2007: A$140,000).
Current Committee fees per annum are:
-
A$15,000 for members of the Risk Management and Audit, Personnel and Organisation, and Sustainability Committees (30 June 2007: A$15,000).

-
The Chair of the Board receives A$500,000 per annum (30 June 2007: A$500,000).
Other fees/ benefits
Non Executive Directors are compensated for time spent travelling to overseas Board and Board Committee meetings as follows:
-
$Nil for travel less than four hours;
-
A$2,000 each way for travel between four and 12 hours; and
-
A$5,000 each way for travel over 12 hours.
Non Executive Directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for all business related expenses, including travel, as may be incurred in the discharge of their duties.
Post-employment benefits
Benefits are accrued in Lend Lease Corporation shares and will fluctuate in line with the value of Lend Lease shares. Under the plan, the Company will issue to, or acquire for, or for the benefit of, each Non Executive Director a number of Lend Lease Corporation shares equal in value to 0.2 times the Director’s fees (being fees for attending and chairing Board and Board Committee meetings), but not additional fees.
Allocations are made on 1 January each year based on the weighted average price of Lend Lease shares traded on the ASX during the five business days prior to 1 January each year.
The shares will be accessible only on retirement, except if the shares need to be sold at an earlier time to meet a tax liability in respect of the shares.
Two Non Executive Directors appointed prior to 1 January 2001 have also accrued benefits under the previous Retirement Benefit Plan, as follows:
-
G Edington A$120,250 (30 June 2007: A$111,249)
-
P Goldmark A$128,032 (30 June 2007: A$123,452)

d. Long Term Incentives and Retentions – Audited
-
Criteria 1: The award is dependent upon the executive remaining with the Group. If the executive resigns before vesting, the grant will lapse.
-
Criteria 2: The award is dependent upon service to the vesting date, however, an early redemption date due to cessation of service may result in a pro rata payout.
-
Criteria 3: Progressive percentage monthly vesting of award over the respective award service life. The award was originally granted on 9 December 2002 and was due to vest on 9 December 2007. On 7 December 2007 however, the award was extended with the number of awards granted increased by 27,973 and the vesting date changed to 20 June 2008. The award subsequently vested on 20 June 2008 at a value of A$3,012,393, based on the closing Lend Lease Corporation Limited share price on that date, A$9.79.
-
Criteria 4: Forfeiture on resignation. Pro rata on other service cessation. Criteria 5: The TSR of Lend Lease is at or greater than the median TSR of 18 comparator companies (with 25% vesting at median performance rising to 100% on reaching top quartile performance). The award did not vest at 30 June 2008 as the TSR performance hurdle was not achieved.
-
Criteria 6: The TSR of Lend Lease measured against the ASX100 companies (with 50% vesting at median performance, rising to 100% on reaching top quartile performance).
-
Criteria 7: The EPS of Lend Lease as reported in the financial statements adjusted for treasury shares and unrealised property investment revaluations (with 100% vesting if a minimum compound annual growth rate of 10% over the three year performance period).

4. Other
a. Share Options
No share options were issued during the year by the Company or any of its controlled entities, and there are no such options on issue.
b. Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers
The Company’s Constitution provides for indemnification in favour of each of the Directors named on pages 70 to 71 of this Report; the Company Secretaries, Mr W Hara and Ms S J Sharpe; and officers of the Company or of wholly owned subsidiaries or related entities of the Company (‘Officers’) to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 .
For related entities, the indemnification is provided unless the Directors determine otherwise. For unrelated entities in which the Group has an interest, deeds of indemnity may be entered into between Lend Lease Corporation Limited and the Director or Officer. Since the date of the last report, the Company has not entered into any separate deeds of indemnity.
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , the Constitution also permits the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or pay or agree to pay a premium for insurance for Officers against any liability incurred as an officer of the Company or of a related body corporate. This may include a liability for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal, and whatever their outcome. During the year, the Company paid insurance premiums of A$502,640 in respect of its Directors’ and Officers’ liability policies. Due to confidentiality obligations and undertakings of the policy, no further details in respect of the premium or policy can be disclosed.
c. Non Audit Services
During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to its statutory duties.
The Board has considered the non audit services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Risk Management and Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non audit services during the 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 Group and have been reviewed by the Risk Management and 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 Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
A copy of the Lead Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included at the end of this Report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Lend Lease Corporation Limited (‘the Company’) is domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2008 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘consolidated entity’ or the ‘Group’) and the consolidated entity’s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 21 August 2008.
a. Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.
b. Basis of Preparation
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and is prepared under the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities, which are stated at their fair value: derivative financial instruments, fair value through profit or loss investments, investments available for sale, investment property and liabilities for cash settled share based compensation plans. Recognised assets and liabilities that are hedged are stated at fair value in respect of the risk that is hedged. Refer to the specific accounting policies in Notes 1. and 31e. for a summary of the basis of valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
The preparation of a financial report that complies with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Information about critical accounting judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies is set out in Accounting Policy Note 1ad.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all financial years presented in the consolidated financial statements and by all entities in the consolidated entity.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.
Basis of Consolidation
The Group consolidation comprises all 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 are presently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The Group invests in special purpose entities (SPE) for trading and investment purposes. The SPE are consolidated if the substance of the relationship with the Group is such that the Group controls the SPE. The Group will also consolidate the SPE if the Group is expected to obtain the majority of the benefits and/or is exposed to the majority of the residual risks of the SPE or its net assets.
Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains or losses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company sponsors a number of employee benefit vehicles, including employee share plans. Under AASBs, these vehicles, while not legally controlled, are required to be consolidated for accounting purposes.
c. New Accounting Standards
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the financial year ended 30 June 2008 but are available for early adoption. The Group has not applied the following standards in preparing this financial report. The Group’s assessment of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:
- Revised AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ and AASB 2008-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127’ .
AASB 3 and AASB 2008-3 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. These standards change the application of acquisition accounting for business combinations and the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests.
- AASB 8 ‘Operating Segments’ and AASB 2007-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 ’.
AASB 8 and AASB 2007-3 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. These standards replace the presentation requirements of segment reporting in AASB 114 ‘Segment Reporting’. The standards may result in different segments, segment results and different types of information being reported in the segment note of the financial report. The possible changes to disclosure are not expected to affect the financial results of the Group.
- Revised AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ (September 2007) and AASB 2007-8 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101’ .
AASB 101 and AASB 2007-8 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. These standards introduce the statement of comprehensive income and make changes to the statement of changes in equity. These standards are only concerned with disclosure in the financial report and application will not affect the financial results of the Group.
– Revised AASB 123 ‘Borrowing Costs’ and AASB 2007-6 ‘Amendments to the Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 ’. AASB 123 and AASB 2007-6 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. These standards remove the option to expense borrowing costs and requires borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset to be capitalised. The potential effect of AASB 123 and AASB 2007-6 on the Group’s future earnings is yet to be determined.

c. New Accounting Standards continued
- Revised AASB 127 ‘ Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ and AASB 2008-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 ’.
AASB 127 and AASB 2008-3 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. These standards change the accounting for investments in subsidiaries, in particular the impact of changing ownership interests in subsidiaries.
– Revised AASB 2008-1 ‘ Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard - Share-based Payments: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations’. AASB 2008-1 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The standard changes the measurement of share-based payments that contain non-vesting conditions. The potential effect of AASB 2008-1 on the Group’s financial statements is yet to be determined.
- AASB 2008-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project’.
AASB 2008-5 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The standard amends several AASBs terms of accounting recognition, measurement and presentation. The potential effect of AASB 2008-5 on the Group’s financial statements is yet to be determined.
- AASB Interpretation 12 ‘Service Concession Arrangements’.
AASB Interpretation 12 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. The Interpretation addresses the accounting for service concession operators, but not grantors, for public to private service concession arrangements. The Group has a project team that is assessing the implications of these changes on the Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs) in Europe. The Group has not yet quantified the expected effect of the adoption of the Interpretation.
d. Revenue, Other Income and Profits
Revenue and Profits from the Sale of Development Properties
Revenue and profits from the sale of development properties are recognised in the income statement when:
-
The significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer;
-
The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the development properties sold;
-
The revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due; and
-
The Group can measure reliably the costs incurred or to be incurred.
Revenue from the Provision of Services
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the transactions at the balance sheet date:
-
For property construction: the value of work performed using the percentage complete method, which is measured by reference to actual costs to date as a percentage of total forecast costs for each contract;
-
For property and funds management: property development and management fee entitlements for services rendered; and
-
For management of retirement villages: deferred management fees are recognised on an accruals basis based on a present value (or discounted) assessment of revenue earned from the management agreements on retirement villages at expected sales values of properties when the fees will be received.
Dividends
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established, usually on declaration of the dividend.
Rental Income
Rental income is recognised in the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more appropriate. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.
Net Gains or Losses on Sale of Investments
Net gains or losses on sale of investments are recognised when an unconditional contract is in place.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income.
e. Income Taxes
Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method, providing for 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 provided for: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. Measurement of deferred tax is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
100
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but are intended to be settled on a net basis or be realised simultaneously.
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.
The Company is the head entity in the Australian Tax Consolidated Group comprising all the Australian wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company entered the Australian Tax Consolidation Regime effective 1 July 2002.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from the Australian wholly owned subsidiaries of the Australian Tax Consolidated Group (after elimination of intragroup transactions).
The Australian Tax Consolidated Group has entered into a tax funding arrangement that requires wholly owned Australian subsidiaries to make contributions to the Company for tax liabilities and deferred tax balances arising from external transactions occurring after the implementation of tax consolidation. The contributions are broadly calculated as if each entity paid tax on a stand alone basis.
The assets and liabilities arising under the Australian tax funding arrangement are recognised as intercompany assets and liabilities (at call) with a consequential adjustment to income tax expense/revenue.
f. Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets, investment properties (see Accounting Policy Note 1h.), inventories (see Accounting Policy Note 1n.) and deferred tax assets (see Accounting Policy Note 1e.) are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. 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 been previously revalued through reserves.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit (or group of units) and then to reduce the carrying amount of other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis.
Calculation of Recoverable Amount
The recoverable amount of the Group’s investments in held to maturity securities and receivables is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate inherent in the asset. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial (see Accounting Policy Note 1l.).
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 assets. For assets that do not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which each asset belongs.
Reversals of Impairment
An impairment loss in respect of a held to maturity security or receivable is reversed if a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed (other than goodwill) 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.
g. Investments
The Group classifies its investments in debt and equity securities in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, and available for sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through
Profit or Loss
This category has two subcategories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term (held for trading) or if so designated by management either to eliminate a measurement or recognition inconsistency, or where a group of financial assets is managed, and its performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis (at inception). Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Held to Maturity Investments
Held to maturity investments are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group’s management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.
Available for Sale Financial Assets
Available for sale financial assets are non derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any other category. They are included in non current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Notes to the 1. Significant Accounting Policies Consolidated continued Financial g. Investments continued Statements Recognition and Measurement Criteria continued Purchases and sales of investments are
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Investments are de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are included in the income statement in the financial year in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as gains or losses from investment securities.
The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, and discounted cash flow analysis. Refer to Note 31e. for a summary of the basis of valuation of investments measured at fair value.
At each balance sheet date the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.
h. Investment Properties
Investment properties are stated at fair value based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers. It is the policy of the Group to review the carrying value of each property every six months. Fair value is based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative calculation methods such as discounted cash flow projections, recent prices on less active markets or capitalised income projections. Capitalised income projections are based on a perpetuity of net operating income using a capitalisation rate derived from market evidence.
The valuations for the Senior Living properties are supported by actuarial assessments performed by Lend Lease based on its detailed knowledge and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the income statement. Rental income from investment properties is accounted for as described in Accounting Policy Note 1d.
When an item of owner occupied property, plant and equipment (see Accounting Policy Note 1o.) becomes an investment property following a change in its use, any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item and its fair value is recognised directly in equity if it is a gain. Upon disposal of the item, the gain is transferred to retained earnings. Any loss is recognised in the income statement immediately.
When an item of self constructed property, plant and equipment becomes an investment property following a change in its use, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.
Expenses capitalised to properties may include the cost of acquisition, additions, refurbishments, redevelopments, borrowing costs and fees incurred.
i. Associates
Associates (including partnerships) are entities in which the Group, as a result of its voting rights, has significant influence, but not control, over financial and operating policies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. Investments in associates are carried at the lower of the equity accounted carrying amount and the recoverable amount. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the associate, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associate.
Dividends from associates represent a return on the Group’s investment and as such are applied as a reduction to the carrying value of the investment. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment in the associate to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Venture Capital Exemption
Investments held by Lend Lease Ventures’
investment portfolio are carried at fair value even though the Group may have significant influence over those entities. This accounting is permitted by AASB 128 ‘Investments in Associates’ which requires investments held by venture capital organisations to be excluded from its scope when those investments are designated as at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ from inception. The investments made by Lend Lease Ventures may be considered to be venture capital in nature due to management of the investments on a portfolio basis, and is unrelated to the Group’s key business activities. The application of this exemption is assessed on each investment made by Lend Lease Ventures.
102
Refer Note 1g. for analysis of recognition and measurement criteria of investments classified and measured at ‘fair value through profit or loss’.
j. Joint Venture Entities
A joint venture entity is an entity which has a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to joint control.
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 carrying amount and recoverable amount.
The Group’s share of joint venture entities’ profit or loss after tax is recognised in the income statement from the date joint control commences until the date joint control ceases. Other movements in joint venture entities’ reserves are recognised directly in consolidated reserves.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with joint venture entities are eliminated against the investment in the joint venture to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
k. Joint Venture Operations
A joint venture operation is a joint venture that is not in the form of an entity. The Group’s interest in an unincorporated joint venture is brought to account by including its interest in the following amounts in the appropriate categories in the balance sheet and income statement:
-
Each of the individual assets employed in the joint venture;
-
Liabilities incurred by the consolidated entity in relation to the joint venture and the liabilities for which it is jointly and/or severally liable;
-
Expenses incurred in relation to the joint venture; and
-
Revenue earned in relation to the joint venture.
l. Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and fair value, which is estimated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.
m. Pre Contract and Project Bidding Costs
The Group expenses all pre contract and project bidding costs, unless there is a high degree of certainty that a contract will be entered into (at least preferred bidder status) and that the costs will be fully recoverable from contract revenues. Costs previously expensed are not subsequently reinstated when a contract award is achieved.
n. Inventories
Property Held for Sale
Property acquired for development and sale in the ordinary course of business is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost of property held for sale is based on the weighted average principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition, including borrowing costs incurred. Property expected to be sold within 12 months of the end of the financial year is classified as current inventory.
The recoverable amount of each holding is assessed at each financial year and a provision for diminution in value is raised by the Directors where cost (including costs to complete) exceeds net realisable value. In determining the recoverable amount, the Directors have regard to independent valuations obtained in accordance with Accounting Policy Note 1h., the market conditions affecting each property and the underlying strategy for selling the property.
Construction and Development Work in Progress
The gross amount of construction and development work in progress consists of costs attributable to work performed together with emerging profit and after providing for any foreseeable losses.
o. Property, Plant and Equipment
Owned Assets
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Accounting Policy Note 1f.). The cost of self constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.
Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as property, plant and equipment and stated at cost until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassified as investment property. Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises components having different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. The residual value, useful life and depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.
Leased Assets
Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Plant and equipment acquired by way of finance lease is stated at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Accounting Policy Note 1f.). Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies continued
o. Property, Plant and Equipment continued
Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment, and major components that are accounted for separately. Amortisation is provided on leasehold improvements over the remaining term of the lease. Most plant is depreciated over a period not exceeding ten years, furniture and fittings over 15 years, motor vehicles over eight years and computer equipment over three years. Land is not depreciated.
p. IT Software Systems
Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives (three to five years).
Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs directly associated with producing identifiable and unique software products consolidated by the Group, and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Direct costs include software development, employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives (three to five years).
q. Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets as goodwill. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in the carrying value of investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (or groups of cash generating units) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combinations, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or groups of units.
Management Agreements and Other Intangible Assets
Management agreements and other intangible assets acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see Accounting Policy Note 1f.). Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets. Management rights of an unlisted property fund are amortised over the useful life of ten years. The retirement rights to manage the Lutanda village acquired have an indefinite useful life and are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment. The recoverable amount of management agreements and other intangible assets is assessed using independent valuations or alternative calculation methods such as discounted cash flow projections. The rights are for an unlimited period and there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows.
r. Employee Benefits
Superannuation/Pension Obligations
Group companies operate various superannuation and pension schemes. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds, determined by periodic actuarial calculations. The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines the amount of pension benefit an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity.
The asset and liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate or government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.
All actuarial gains and losses as at 1 July 2004, the date of transition to Australian International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS), were recognised. In respect of actuarial gains and losses that arise subsequent to 1 July 2004 in calculating the consolidated entity’s obligation in respect of a plan, to the extent that any cumulative unrecognised actuarial gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets, that portion is recognised in the income statement over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Otherwise, the actuarial gain or loss is not recognised in the income statement, it is recognised in the balance sheet against the defined benefit plan asset or liability. Past service costs are recognised immediately in the income statement, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, past service costs are amortised on a straight line basis over the vesting period.
104
For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered superannuation/pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Current Employee Entitlements
The provisions for employee entitlements to wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided up to the balance date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay at each balance date, including related on-costs. Non accumulating non monetary benefits, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services, are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the consolidated entity as the benefits are taken by the employees.
Non Current Employee Entitlements
The provision for employee entitlements to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made resulting from employees’ services provided up to balance date. Consideration is given to expected future increases in wage and salary rates, including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on turnover history.
Share Based Compensation
The Group operates cash settled and equity settled share based compensation plans that are referable to Lend Lease’s share price. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant is recognised as an expense and a corresponding liability (if cash settled) or a corresponding increase in equity (if equity settled). The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the services granted. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the entitlement due. It recognises the impact of revision of original estimates, if any, in the income statement, and a corresponding adjustment to a liability (in the case of cash settled) or equity (in the case of equity settled) over the remaining vesting period. Changes in entitlement for equity settled plans are not recognised if they fail to vest due to market conditions not being met.
Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance date are discounted to present value.
Profit Sharing and Bonus Plans
s. Trade and Other Payables
Trade Creditors
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Group. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 60 days. Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost or cost when the impact of discounting would be immaterial.
Insurance Claims
A liability for outstanding claims is recognised in respect of Lend Lease’s wholly owned special purpose captive insurance subsidiary. The liability covers claims incurred but not yet paid, claims incurred but not reported and the anticipated direct and indirect costs of settling those claims. The liability for outstanding claims is measured at the present value of the expected future payments, reflecting the fact that all the claims do not have to be paid out in the immediate future. The discount rates used are risk free rates.
Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantee contracts, including the Company guarantees of Group entities’ borrowings, are recognised when issued as a financial liability. The liability is measured initially at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the best estimate to settle the obligation (see Accounting Policy Note 1w.) and the initial fair value less accumulated amortisation. Fair value is determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach.
t. Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost and any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities. The dividends on preference shares are recognised in the income statement as interest expense.
The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non convertible bond. The amount is recognised as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bond. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised in equity, net of income tax.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance date.
u. Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and Presentation Currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit sharing, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a provision when contractually obliged or when there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
2008 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation105
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies continued
u. Foreign Currency Translation continued
Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges in foreign operations.
Translation differences on non monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non monetary items, such as equities classified as available for sale financial assets, are included in the fair value revaluation reserve in equity.
Group Companies
The results and balance sheet of all Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (A$) are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions);
-
All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from operating, financing and investing activities.
The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties.
v. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Hedging Derivatives
Fair Value Hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
Cash Flow Hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled to the income statement when the hedged item will affect profit or loss (for instance, when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non financial asset (for example, inventory) or a liability, the gains or losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.
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 equity at that time remains in equity 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 equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.
Net Investment Hedge
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity; the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Gains or losses accumulated in equity are included in the income statement on disposal of the foreign operation.
Held for Trading Derivatives
Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting or hedge accounting treatment is not sought. These instruments are classed as held for trading and changes in their fair value are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged.
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their value at the current quoted forward price at the balance sheet date.
106
w. Provisions
A provision is recognised on the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring has either commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating costs are not provided for.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
x. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and foreign exchange differences net of hedged amounts on borrowings. Ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings are capitalised and amortised over the life of the borrowings.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets that take more than six months to prepare for their intended use or sale. In these circumstances, borrowing costs are capitalised to the costs of the assets. When funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised are those incurred in relation to that borrowing. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is calculated by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset.
y. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is determined by dividing profit after income tax attributable to members of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares (adjusted for treasury shares) outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit after tax attributable to members of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
aa. Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Preference share capital is classified as equity if it is non redeemable and any dividends are discretionary, or is redeemable but only at the Company’s option. Dividends on preference share capital classified as equity are recognised as distributions within equity. Preference share capital is classified as a liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognised in the income statement as interest expense.
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a change in equity.
Dividends on redeemable preference shares are recognised as a liability on an accrual basis. Other dividends are recognised as a liability in the financial year in which they are declared.
ab. Goods and Services Tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
ac. Service Concession Arrangements (Private Financing Initiatives and Public Private Partnerships)
Contract obligations and related rights are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 111 ‘Construction Contracts’ and AASB 118 ‘Revenue’. Obligations are recognised when consideration is received in advance of performance. Consideration receivable in respect of construction or other services is accounted for in accordance with AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ as a ‘loan or receivable’ and is measured at amortised cost. Borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with Accounting Policy Note 1x. Pre contract and project bidding costs are capitalised in accordance with Accounting Policy Note 1m.
z. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, bank overdrafts and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts (if applicable) are shown as a current liability on the balance sheet and are shown as a reduction to the cash balance in the statement of cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies continued
ad. Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The estimates and judgements 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.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
Note 14a. ‘Goodwill’ contains information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to goodwill impairment. Note 31a. ‘Foreign Currency’ provides detailed analysis of the foreign exchange exposure of the consolidated entity and risks in relation to foreign exchange movements.
Impairment of Goodwill and Management Agreements
The Group assesses whether goodwill is impaired at least annually in accordance with Accounting Policy Note 1f. These calculations involve an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. The recoverable amount of management agreements are assessed annually in accordance with Accounting Policy Note 1q.
Valuation of Assets and Recoverable Amounts
The Group assesses the fair value of certain assets by using estimation techniques where there is no available market price. The Group assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of certain assets using estimations of their recoverable amount, including the deferred management rights receivable. For investment properties and inventories refer to Accounting Policy Notes 1h. and 1n. Refer to Note 31e. for a summary of the basis of valuation of financial assets measured at fair value.
Defined Benefit Superannuation Fund Obligations
Various actuarial assumptions are utilised in determining the Group’s defined benefit superannuation/pension fund obligations. These assumptions are discussed in Notes 15g. and 22g. ‘Principal Actuarial Assumptions’.
Share Based Compensation
The Group assesses the fair value of its cash settled and equity settled share based compensation plans. The fair value assigned represents an estimate of the value of the award to employees, which requires judgements on Lend Lease’s share price and whether vesting conditions will be satisfied. Refer to Note 1r. for the accounting policy for share based compensation.
Critical Accounting Judgements in Applying the Group’s Accounting Policies
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, the Group makes various judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that can significantly affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements. These include:
-
When substantially all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of development properties are transferred to the purchaser;
-
The percentage completion on construction work performed; and
-
Whether the substance of the relationship between the Group and a special purpose entity indicates that the special purpose entity is consolidated by the Group.

2 No provision for this dividend has been recognised in the balance sheet at 30 June 2008 as it was declared after the end of the financial period.
Dividend Franking
The final dividend of 34 cents per share declared since 30 June 2008 will be 45% franked. The interim dividend paid on 26 March 2008 (43 cents per share) was 40% franked.
The dividend franking account balance at 30 June 2008 is A$86.4 million based on a 30% tax rate (30 June 2007: A$56.2 million). This is calculated after adjusting for franking credits which will arise from the payment of income tax provided in the financial statements, tax losses utilised in the current financial year and expected franking debits arising from refunds of tax in dispute. It excludes the A$26.3 million (June 2007: A$36.1 million) franking debit impact of the proposed dividend of A$136.4 million (June 2007: A$168.5 million) and includes the franking debits which arose from the refund of tax which was in dispute after the court ruled in favour of Lend Lease during the year in relation to the sale of Westpac shares in 1996 (refer to Note 16. ‘Other Assets’).

Key Assumptions Used for Value in Use Calculations
The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations use post tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using projected growth rates. The growth rate reflects the forecast long term average growth rate for the business in which the CGU operates.
The Group’s weighted average cost of capital is used as a start point for determining the discount rate with appropriate adjustments for the risk profile relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which they operate. The discount rates used are post tax.
The recoverable amount of CGUs exceeds their carrying value as at 30 June 2008.

1 The fair value of plan assets includes Lend Lease shares to the value of A$0.2 million (June 2007: A$0.4 million).
2 The expected return on assets assumption is determined by weighting the expected long term return for each asset class by the target allocation of assets to each asset class. In addition, correlations of the investment returns between asset classes are allowed. The returns used for each asset class are net of investment tax and investment fees. An allowance for administration expenses has been deducted from the expected return.
3 Lend Lease has taken the exemption provided under AASB 1 ‘First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Reporting Standards’ paragraph 20A. and only disclosed June 2005, June 2006 and June 2007 comparative information, rather than the previous four annual reporting periods as required under AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ paragraph 120A.(p).

1 Unearned premium and insurance claim reserves relate to Lend Lease’s wholly owned special purpose captive insurance subsidiary. The ‘cost’ of the liability for outstanding claims (insurance claim reserves) is measured as the central estimate of the present value of expected future payments against claims incurred at the reporting date under insurance contracts issued by the special purpose captive insurance subsidiary. These expected future payments are discounted using a risk free rate. In the current period, the policy year was extended to run to 30 June 2008 and therefore there is no current unearned premium reserve at reporting date.
2 Related party payables include working capital balances with controlled entities and reflect the funding of general working capital items. All working capital balances are non interest bearing and repayable on demand.

2 The expected return on assets assumption is determined by weighting the expected long term return for each asset class by the target allocation of assets to each asset class and allowing for the correlations of the investment returns between asset classes. The returns used for each asset class are net of the Pension Protection Fund levy payable for the 2008 financial year. An allowance for administration expenses has been deducted from the expected return.

Nature and Purpose of Reserves
a. Fair Value Revaluation Reserve
Unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value and foreign exchange rate differences on translation of non monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in the fair value revaluation reserve. Amounts are recognised in the income statement when the associated securities are sold, redeemed or impaired.
b. Hedging Reserve
The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments relating to hedged transactions that have not occurred.
c. Foreign Currency Translation Reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve records the foreign currency differences net of income tax arising from the translation of foreign operations, the translation of transactions that hedge the Company’s net investment in a foreign operation or the translation of foreign currency monetary items forming part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
d. Equity Compensation Reserve
The fair value of equity settled share based compensation is recognised in the income statement and equity compensation reserve over the vesting period of the underlying grant. Additionally, unallocated Lend Lease shares held by consolidated employee benefit vehicles which are used to meet equity related employee arrangements are recognised in the equity compensation reserve at their original historic cost to the Group.
e. Other Compensation Reserve
Unallocated Lend Lease shares held by consolidated employee benefit vehicles that are used to cash settle certain share based payment arrangements are recognised in the other compensation reserve at their original historic cost to the Group. On allocation, the shares are revalued to their current market value against the income statement. Following the distribution of the proceeds to the beneficiary, the difference between the original cost of the shares and the market value is recognised in retained earnings as a ‘gain/(loss) on utilisation of treasury shares’.
f. Capital Reserve
The capital reserve comprises realised capital profits on the disposal of assets which did not attract capital gains tax.
g. Minority Interest Acquisition Reserve
The minority interest acquisition reserve arises from additional acquisition of minority interests, subsequent to obtaining control of the entity. The reserve represents the premium on the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired entity.

1 The June 2007 opening retained earnings of A$2,018.2 million has been adjusted to A$1,998.8 million to align inconsistent accounting policies between associates (held by UK PPP) and Lend Lease. The adjustment also impacts the hedging reserve.
2 Difference between the cost of the treasury shares to the Group and the fair value expensed to the income statement on settlement. 3 Lend Lease Rouse Hill was deconsolidated on 1 January 2008.
27. Contingent Liabilities
Lend Lease has the following contingent liabilities: There are a number of legal claims and exposures which arise from the normal course of business. There is significant uncertainty as to whether a future liability will arise in respect of these items. The amount of liability, if any, which may arise cannot be measured reliably at this time. The Directors are of the opinion that all known liabilities have been brought to account and that adequate provision has been made for any anticipated losses.
In certain circumstances, Lend Lease guarantees the performance of particular Group entities in respect of their obligations. This includes bonding and bank guarantee facilities used primarily by the Project Management and Construction business as well as performance guarantees for certain Communities business commercial built - form development. These guarantees are provided in respect of activities that occur in the ordinary course of business and any known losses in respect of the relevant contracts have been brought to account. Certain contingent liabilities exist in relation to the Lend Lease Retirement Benefit Fund and the Lend Lease Employee Investment Trust (EIT). This is disclosed in detail in Note 34a. ‘Lend Lease Employee Share Plans’.
In September 2004, a class action was filed against a number of parties who responded to the World Trade Center emergency and debris removal following the events of 9/11. The action was brought against more than 50 defendants including the City of New York and Bovis Lend Lease LMB Inc (‘Bovis Lend Lease’) (a subsidiary of Lend Lease). Judge Alvin K Hellerstein of the United States Federal Court for the Southern District of New York refused to certify the class action and as such the litigation proceeds as a consolidated action by individual claimants.
In June 2006, Bovis Lend Lease and the other defendants brought an immunity motion in relation to the claims. The motion was brought on the basis that the defendants responded to a civic emergency and in that context should be immune from liability under applicable US laws. Judge Hellerstein handed down his judgment on 17 October 2006 and held
that the “Defendants are benefited by limited immunity, limited according to time and activity”. However, the Court denied the defendants’ motion, concluding that such issues are “fact-intensive” questions which are “unsuitable for resolution by motion”. Judge Hellerstein stated that the Court would need to assess further evidence before it could determine the extent to which the immunity laws are applicable to the claims.
Although the defendants were pleased that the 17 October 2006 decision recognised that the state and federal laws that provide immunity do protect the defendants against suit (to a presently undetermined extent) and while Judge Hellerstein’s decision made no finding of liability in relation to Bovis Lend Lease or any of the defendants, the defendants have appealed against the motion on the basis that the Court should have granted the motion as presented. The United States Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit declined to overturn the lower court’s ruling. The defendants have requested a re-hearing by the full Appellate Court of the immunity motion and are awaiting a response. Absent a re-hearing, the extent of Bovis Lend Lease’s entitlement to immunity will remain open, to be finally determined at a later date. The litigation is still in the preliminary stages. Should the litigation proceed beyond this stage, Bovis Lend Lease is one of the beneficiaries of the approximately US$1.0 billion captive insurance policy established by the US Congress to protect the City of New York and its contractors against liabilities that may arise from the clean up. Bovis Lend Lease also has other project specific insurance.
In addition, to establish any liability on the part of Bovis Lend Lease, the claimants must prove that Bovis Lend Lease owed them a duty of care, breached that duty and that their injuries were caused by the conduct of Bovis Lend Lease. The litigation will therefore need to proceed through a number of stages before any liability can attach to Bovis Lend Lease. As with all litigation, to the extent that the claimants are able to establish liability against Bovis Lend Lease, it is not possible at this stage to quantify what that liability may or may not be or whether or not that liability will be entirely covered by insurance.

29. Segment Reporting continued
Business Segments
The consolidated entity comprises the following main business segments, based on the consolidated entity’s management reporting system.
Retail
Retail relates to property development from concept through to design, planning, construction, financing, leasing, property management and the eventual sale. This segment also includes direct investments in retail assets.
Communities
Communities relates to urban community development. This includes all aspects from acquisition, design, development and management to eventual sale.
Public Private Partnerships
Public Private Partnerships relates to privatisation services, including the health sector, education sector, waste sector, defence estates and accommodation.
Investment Management
Investment Management relates to the management of real estate investment funds and real estate associated debt on behalf of clients. This also includes indirect investments in real estate and other investments.
Project Management and Construction
This business segment relates to project management, design services, construction management and engineering.
Unallocated Business Segments
Corporate
Corporate includes Group Treasury, amortisation and corporate administration services. All financing costs that are not directly related to real estate development projects or investments are reported in unallocated corporate.
Geographic Segments
The Group’s businesses operate on a global basis. Segment revenue is based on the geographic location of customers and segment assets are based on the geographic location of the assets. The Group’s business segments operate across the following regions: Asia Pacific, Americas and Europe.
30. Capital Risk Management
The Group assesses its Capital Management model as part of its broader strategic plan. The Group focuses on interrelated financial parameters including return on equity, earnings growth and borrowing capacity. These are taken into account when the Group makes decisions on how to invest its capital and evaluate its existing investments.
The Group’s capital includes total equity, borrowings, and other interest bearing liabilities. When investing capital, the Group’s objective is to deliver strong total shareholder returns and to maintain an investment grade credit rating through adoption of a conservative financial profile.
The capital structure of the Group can be changed by equity issuance, paying dividends, dividend reinvestment plan and changing the level of debt. The co-dependence of the financial parameters focuses the Group on managing these to a balanced outcome.
31. International Currency Management and Financial Instruments
The Group operates across numerous jurisdictions and markets. In order to maintain control and discipline with the Group’s financial integrity, a Financial Markets Risk Committee oversees the management of the Group’s foreign currency, credit, interest rate and liquidity risk exposures, within the parameters of Board approved policy.
The Lend Lease Risk Management and Audit Committee maintains a Group–wide framework for risk management and reviews issues of material risk exposure, including credit risk.
a. Foreign Currency
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial commitment, a recognised asset or liability will fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency rates.
Foreign currency risk arises primarily from net investments in foreign operations, and firm commitments or highly probable forecast transactions settled in foreign currency.
The Group’s policy is to manage currency risk so as to minimise any adverse impact of this risk and associated costs on the Lend Lease Group’s consolidated result. The Group’s exposure is primarily to the United States Dollar (USD), Great British Pound (GBP), Singapore Dollar (SGD) and Euro (EUR).
The Group uses both physical and derivative financial instruments (mainly forward foreign exchange contracts) to hedge its foreign currency exposures, including borrowings in the relevant foreign currencies to hedge the net investments in foreign operations.

Net Investments in Foreign Operations
Net investments in foreign operations are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from translation of net investments in foreign operations are recognised in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (refer Note 1u.) until realised.
The majority of forward exchange contracts hedge specific foreign currency exposures including receivables, payables, revenues, expenses and intercompany transactions and loans. The contracts are converted using forward rates at balance date with unrealised gains and losses recorded in the income statement or the hedge reserve when the derivative is used in a hedging relationship that satisfies AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ criteria. Exchange gains and losses on these contracts are accounted for in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for foreign currency (refer to Accounting Policy Note 1u.).
Certain derivative transactions are treated as cash flow or fair value hedges when they meet the appropriate strict hedge accounting criteria outlined in Accounting Policy Note 1v.
Fair Value Hedges
The Group’s fair value hedges consist of foreign exchange forward contracts used as hedging instruments to protect against changes in the fair value of particular foreign denominated available for sale financial assets, or hedged items, due to movements in foreign exchange rates.
Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are recognised in the income statement in the period in which it occurs. Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item and are eliminated on consolidation, as shown below:

Cash Flow Hedges
The Group’s cash flow hedges protect against foreign exchange rate fluctuations on highly probable forecast transactions using foreign exchange forward contracts. As at 30 June 2008 the fair value of these outstanding designated derivatives recognised in equity is A$1.2 million. It is expected that the current hedged forecast transactions will occur during the financial year ending 30 June 2009 and will affect the income statement in the same period. Refer to Statements of Changes in Equity – Hedging Reserve.
There are no gains or losses recognised in the income statement during the period due to hedge ineffectiveness (30 June 2007: A$nil).

Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity of the AUD to movement in foreign currencies is based on a 5.0% fluctuation in the average rates during the financial year and the spot rate at balance date. This analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest rates remain constant. No sensitivity analysis is performed for the Company, on the basis it does not have material exposures to foreign currency balances.
A 5.0% decrease in the average foreign exchange rates would have impacted the Group’s profit after tax as follows:
as follows: |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated | |||
| Increase/(decrease) in proft/(loss) after tax |

| 3.8 | 17.0 |
An increase of 5.0% in average foreign exchange rates has the equal and opposite effect. A 5.0% decrease in the foreign exchange spot rates would have increased the Group’s net assets as follows:

| EUR | 7.2 | 4.4 | ||
| 75.8 | 80.8 |
An increase of 5.0% in the spot foreign exchange rates has the equal and opposite effect.
b. Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the risk that a counterparty will not complete its obligations under a financial instrument resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group has exposure to credit risk from all recognised financial assets.
On Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date on financial assets recognised in the balance sheet (excluding investments of the Group) equals the carrying amount, net of any impairment.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk on either a geographic or industry specific basis, and has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history.
Credit risk on derivative financial instruments is managed through a Board approved credit policy for determining acceptable counterparties. The counterparties are recognised financial intermediaries with acceptable credit ratings determined by a recognised rating agency. The policy sets out credit limits for each counterparty. The use of any counterparty outside the policy specifications requires Board approval.
Credit risk for derivative contracts such as swaps and forward exchange contracts is minimised as dealings are principally undertaken with counterparties that are recognised financial intermediaries with acceptable credit ratings determined by a recognised rating agency, in accordance with Board approved policy.
Foreign exchange contracts are subject to credit risk in relation to the counterparty failing to deliver the contracted amount of currency at settlement date. The full amount of the exposure is disclosed in Note 31a. ‘Foreign Currency’.
Collateral
In certain circumstances, the Group will hold either financial or non financial assets as collateral to further mitigate the credit risk arising on selected transactions. The Group currently holds the following collateral as security for certain credit risk exposures:
-
A trade debtor (A$76.5 million) is secured by a first registered mortgage over land parcels (30 June 2007: A$74.5 million).
-
An other receivable (A$4.9 million) is secured by a first registered mortgage over land parcels (30 June 2007: A$nil).
The Group did not obtain financial or non financial assets as collateral during the period as a result of default by a counterparty (30 June 2007: A$nil). Consequently, any collateral held as security is not recognised in the financial statements.

31. International Currency Management and Financial Instruments continued
Notes to the Consolidated c. Interest Rate Risk Financial Statements continued
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flow associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in the market interest rates.
The Group’s policy is to manage interest rate risk that impacts directly on the Group’s assets and liabilities. The Group uses physical and derivative financial instruments to assist in managing its interest rate exposure. Speculative trading is not undertaken.
Sensitivity Analysis – Consolidated
At 30 June 2008 it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in interest rates would have increased the Group’s profit after tax and retained earnings by A$3.6 million (2007: A$3.5 million increase). The net increase in profit after tax is due to the high proportion of fixed interest rate debt and high proportion of floating rate assets. A one percentage point decrease in interest rates would have an equal and opposite effect on retained earnings and profit after tax. The increase or decrease in interest income/expense is proportional to the increase or decrease in interest rates. Interest rate swaps have been included in this calculation.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below.

d. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient funds to settle financial liabilities as and when they fall due. This includes having insufficient levels of committed credit facilities.
The Group’s objective is to maintain efficient use of cash and debt facilities in order to minimise the cost of borrowing to the Group and ensure sufficient availability of credit facilities.
Liquidity risk is reduced through prudent cash management which ensures sufficient levels of cash are maintained to meet working capital requirements. It also allows flexibility of liquidity by matching maturity profiles of short term investments with cash flow requirements, and timely review and renewal of credit facilities.
The following are the contractual cash flow maturities of financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) as at 30 June 2008, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements.

1 The repayment of these amounts were funded through collection of outstanding loans and receivables: June 2008: A$3,218.2 million. Details of other contractually committed cash flows the Group and the Company are exposed to are in Note 32. ‘Commitments’.
e. Net Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
Equity investments traded on organised markets have been valued by reference to market prices prevailing at balance date. For non traded equity investments, the net fair value is determined by an assessment by the Directors based on the underlying net assets, future maintainable earnings and any special circumstances pertaining to a particular investment (refer to Note 10. ‘Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method’ and Note 12. ‘Other Financial Assets’).
On Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
All financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet, including those instruments carried at amortised cost, are recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair value, with the exception of non current borrowings as follows:
| Consolidated | Consolidated | Company | Company | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 2007 | 2008 | 2007 | |||||
| Carrying | Carrying | Carrying | Carrying | |||||

| Liabilities | ||||||||
| Non Current | ||||||||
| Commercial notes | 18 929.3 |
898.0 | 1,076.2 | 998.0 |
The fair value of commercial notes has been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows by the appropriate government bond rates applicable to the relevant term of the commercial note plus the original margin.

Refer to Note 1. ‘Significant Accounting Policies’ for the basis of determining fair values by type of financial instrument.
The net fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts are included in ‘Other Financial Assets’ and ‘Other Financial Liabilities’ (refer to Note 12. ‘Other Financial Assets’ and Note 20. ‘Other Financial Liabilities’). They represent the net unrealised gain or loss resulting from converting the forward foreign exchange contracts to forward rates at balance date.
The net fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities arising from swap agreements has been determined as the marked to market value.
f. Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of either a traded or non-traded equity investment, derivative equity instrument, or a portfolio of such financial instruments decreases in the future. The Group is exposed to equity price risk on all traded or non-traded financial instruments measured at fair value (refer table Note 31e.). The Group’s objective in managing its exposure to equity price risk is to maintain a diversified portfolio of traded and non-traded equity investments.
All new investment submissions require sign-off from members of the ‘Executive Office’, as defined in Section 3 of the Directors’ Report.
Sensitivity Analysis – Consolidated
A 5.0% increase in the fair value of ‘Other Financial Assets’ (refer Note 12. ‘Other Financial Assets’), with reference to the ‘Basis of Determining Fair Value’ table in Note 31e., would have increased the value of available for sale financial assets and equity by A$15.0 million after tax (30 June 2007: A$36.7 million increase), and increased the value of ‘fair value through profit or loss’ assets and profit after tax and equity by A$1.3 million (30 June 2007: A$nil). A 5.0% decrease would achieve an equal and opposite result on equity and profit after tax.
– Sensitivity Analysis Company
No sensitivity analysis is performed for the Company, on the basis it does not have a material exposure to equity price risk.

34. Employee Benefits
a. Lend Lease Employee Share Plans
Lend Lease has as a core value the concept of ‘partnering’ capital and labour. This concept has, over decades, been advanced in many practical ways at Lend Lease through philosophies such as employee ownership and profit sharing. Currently employees own approximately 9.75% of the issued capital of Lend Lease.
In October 1988, shareholders approved an annual allotment of 0.5% of the issued capital of Lend Lease Corporation at 50 cents per share to be used for the benefit of Lend Lease Group employees. This programme was suspended by the Board in May 2003.
Australia: Employee Share Acquisition Plan (ESAP)
-
In accordance with the 1988 shareholder approval, ESAP was established in December 1988 for the purpose of employees acquiring shares in Lend Lease Corporation. This plan replaced previous employee ownership facilities in place over the previous decades.
-
ESAP is funded by Lend Lease subscriptions. Those subscriptions have been used to acquire shares in Lend Lease Corporation at market value on behalf of employees, who may be nominated as members of ESAP.
-
Employees may also be allocated shares by way of bonus arrangements on the basis of individual, corporate and business unit performance.
-
At balance date, approximately 2,728 employees (June 2007: 1,934) were eligible to participate in ESAP.
UK/Europe/Asia: Employee Share Plan
-
The European (Guernsey–based) Restricted Share Plan (‘the Restricted Share Plan’) was established in 1998. The Plan is similar in operation to the Australia-based ESAP.
-
In 2002, two new UK–based Inland Revenue approved Share Incentive Plans (SIP) were established for the acceptance of employee profit share contributions used to acquire Lend Lease Corporation shares for UK–based Lend Lease Group employees. These plans are currently not accepting new contributions whilst Lend Lease makes all profit share payments to employees in cash. At balance date approximately 3,169 employees (June 2007: 2,261) were eligible to participate in the SIP, should it recommence accepting contributions.
-
Shares in the Restricted Share Plan may be allocated to employees in the UK, Europe and Singapore based on individual and business unit performance. The Restricted Share Plan can acquire Lend Lease Corporation shares at market value on behalf of employees. The value of allocations to employees is ultimately based on a combination of the Lend Lease Corporation share price and the respective currencies and Australian dollar exchange rates. At balance date, approximately 4,646 UK, European and Singapore employees (June 2007: 3,995) were eligible to participate in the plan.
Eligibility
The rules for eligibility for particular plans are determined by reference to the regulatory, legal and tax rules of each country in which the Group operates.
Dividends and/or Voting Rights
Generally, employees in the various operating share plans are entitled to dividends and voting rights for allocated shares. The plans reflect this intention subject to regulatory, legal and tax constraints. Voting and dividend rights on any unallocated shares reside with the trustees of the relevant share plan trusts. The trustee may exercise these rights in accordance with any fiduciary or governance rules pertaining to the deed or trust laws in the legal/tax jurisdiction the trust operates within.
150
b. Lend Lease Employee Benefit Vehicles
In addition to the plans discussed in Note 34a., Lend Lease has over the years established a range of employee share ownership vehicles. The Lend Lease Retirement Benefit Fund (RBF) was established in 1984 with shareholder approval for the benefit of employees through the allotment at par value of 5.0 million Lend Lease Corporation shares. The balance of the assets of RBF at 30 June 2008 was 14.1 million Lend Lease Corporation shares (June 2007: 14.1 million Lend Lease shares). The fund was originally intended to provide excess superannuation benefits but this purpose has now become defunct due to changes in the law. For some years, earnings have been used to fund the programs of the Lend Lease Foundation. The Lend Lease shares in RBF are not available for allocation to employees other than in the event of a change of control of Lend Lease Corporation and, in accordance with the Trust Deed, the capital of the Trust is not available to Lend Lease Corporation. The RBF Trustees are independent of Lend Lease Corporation. In the event of a change of control, the RBF Trustees may distribute RBF funds to employees who cease to be employees during the 12 months after a change of control. The RBF Trustees have discretion as to how RBF funds are distributed following a change of control. Under AASBs, RBF, while not legally controlled, is now required to be consolidated for accounting purposes and payments from it on a change of control are therefore now relevant to the Company’s financial statements. Any payments that the RBF Trustees may make as a result of a change of control of Lend Lease Corporation are an obligation of RBF and not the Company. Any payments made will need to be funded by the Trust and therefore cannot exceed the value of the assets of RBF, which was A$150.8 million at 30 June 2008. However, as RBF is consolidated by the Company, this potential obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability. Further, given the timing and basis on which the Trust purchased its Lend Lease Corporation shares, it should be noted that any capital gains tax payable on the Lend Lease Corporation shares sold by the Trust as a result of a change of control (or otherwise) may be recorded from an accounting viewpoint as a tax expense of the consolidated entity.
In October 1985, the Lend Lease Employee Investment Trust (EIT) was established to enable employees to invest in the company. At that time, shareholders approved a one for ten renounceable rights issue and the allotment at the same price of an equivalent number of shares to EIT. EIT acquired these shares with debt funds raised through an external financier. Over the years, strong growth in Lend Lease dividend flows enabled EIT to pay down its external debt. In the following years, EIT acquired shares through on-market purchases, participation in bonus issues and dividend reinvestment. Between 1984 and 1988 it also accumulated shares through the prior shareholders’ resolution to allot 0.5% of issued capital to employee benefit vehicles.
At 30 June 2008, there were 11.6 million (June 2007: 11.7 million) Lend Lease Corporation shares held by EIT, of which 11.3 million shares were available for allocation to employees. For some time the Trustee of EIT has directed surplus dividends to help fund the Lend Lease Foundation’s programs. In accordance with the Trust Deed, the capital of the Trust is not available to Lend Lease Corporation. As with RBF, AASBs now require consolidation of EIT for accounting purposes, regardless of the control of EIT by independent Trustees. Payments from EIT have therefore become relevant to the Company’s financial statements. On a change of control, the EIT Trustees may (but are not required to) terminate the Trust and distribute allocated proceeds to employees and unallocated proceeds to the Lend Lease Superannuation Fund or to RBF. Any payments are an obligation of EIT and not the Company, and cannot exceed the assets of the Trust (A$118.3 million as at 30 June 2008). No contingency is recorded in these financial statements as the potential for such payments is remote, with any termination of EIT in such circumstances, and any subsequent distribution to other funds, entirely at the discretion of the EIT Trustees. Given the timing and basis on which the Trust purchased its Lend Lease Corporation shares, it should be noted that any capital gains tax payable on the Lend Lease shares sold by EIT as a result of a change of control (or otherwise) may be recognised from an accounting viewpoint as a tax expense of the consolidated entity.
The consolidation of EIT and RBF under AASBs creates certain anomalies for the Group’s reported profit or loss where distributions from those trusts are used to fund employee programs under the Lend Lease Foundation (as they have been doing for some time). In particular, the consolidation requires dividends on Lend Lease shares which are distributed by the trusts to the Foundation be eliminated from the income of the Group. On 30 June 1992, Lend Lease agreed that if it were to receive distributions from EIT or RBF, it would apply an equal amount for Foundation programs. The effect is that the Group immediately accrues for this obligation, but is now no longer entitled to recognise the matching income that creates the obligation. This results in a net expense to the income statement, which does not reflect the cash position. In the year to 30 June 2008, the net impact was an after tax expense of A$3.1 million. In future years, it would be anticipated that there would be similar impacts on reported profits.
In 1988, Lend Lease established ESAP as an employee reward scheme. ESAP was established to prospectively replace EIT as the principal employee share plan of the Group in Australia. Other similar plans have subsequently been established (refer to earlier share plan comments). The details of the employee share plans, including ESAP, are set out in Note 34a.
Access to the Lend Lease Foundation is another important employee benefit, providing learning, personal development, community and other activities. Established in 1983, the Foundation’s programs are administered by employee representatives.

c. Share Based Payments
Short Term Incentives (STI)
The STI plan is an annual bonus plan where executives receive benefits dependent on the achievement of both Lend Lease financial targets and individual personal targets. The total value of the potential benefit (target opportunity) varies by executive, but is generally linked to salary.
The STI comprises a cash element paid in September following year end and a deferred element. The deferred element represents Lend Lease Corporation shares based on share price at the date of determination of the bonuses. The shares are then held in trust on behalf of the executive for the deferred period. For executives to receive the full deferral they must be employed by the Group at the date of vesting, which will usually be one year from the date of grant.
Long Term Incentives (LTI)
The current LTIs of Lend Lease were introduced and approved by the Board in 1999 and updated and extended for awards from 2001 onwards. The objectives of the LTIs are essentially twofold:
-
Align executives with the long term interests of Lend Lease and its shareholders;
-
Attract and retain high calibre executives by providing competitive rewards that relate to the performance of the Company, the individual executive and the Lend Lease Corporation share price.
LTI grants are normally made in August each year. LTIs are settled in cash or Lend Lease Corporation shares, with settlement occurring upon vesting if performance hurdles are met. Grants depend on personal contribution and potential, and are designed to retain and motivate high performing and key executives. The LTIs are in the form of an Australian dollar figure ‘grant’ (converted from local salary for overseas participants), which is ‘invested’ in performance shares (PS) over time to deliver value depending on:
-
Whether the executive remains with the Group – if the executive resigns before vesting, the grant will lapse; and
-
The performance of the Group.
The Personnel and Organisation Committee approved one change to the rules of the LTI for the 2005 awards onwards. The rules now provide that in the event of a change in control of Lend Lease Corporation, all awards will vest upon change in control, to the extent that performance conditions have been met. Participants would then be entitled to a pro rata settlement, with the Board having discretion to allow the entitlement to exceed this pro rata amount, if circumstances so provide.
Arrangements for LTI Awards Granted in the June 2006 Financial Year
For awards granted on 1 July 2005, the performance hurdles are based on the total shareholder return (TSR) of Lend Lease against a basket of international comparator companies. Under these awards, the performance hurdle required TSR to achieve at least median against several comparator companies of Lend Lease. The award did not vest at 30 June 2008 as the performance hurdle was not achieved.
Arrangements for LTI Awards Granted in the June 2007 and June 2008 Financial Years
For the June 2007 and June 2008 financial year awards, the Personnel and Organisation Committee set new performance hurdles to align interests between the participant and shareholders and for consistency with a new STI structure.
For awards granted 1 July 2006 and 1 July 2007 the performance hurdle is based on two equal measures: long term profitability as measured by earnings per share (EPS) and external TSR compared to the TSR of the individual ASX100 listed companies as at the commencement of the performance period. The change in the TSR comparator group better reflects those companies against which Lend Lease competes for capital. The performance measures are:
-
TSR measured against the ASX100 companies (with 50% vesting at median performance, rising proportionately to 100% on reaching top quartile performance); and
-
EPS on operating profit after tax reported in the financial statements adjusted for treasury shares (with 100% vesting if a minimum compound annual growth rate of 10% is achieved over the three year vesting period).
Each of the two performance hurdles is measured and can vest independently. The executive must remain with the Company until vesting date for the award to vest. The period may be shortened if an executive is a ‘good leaver’, that is, an executive who leaves employment by reason of death, total and permanent disability, redundancy or other reason as determined by the Personnel and Organisation Committee. Performance conditions continue to apply.
For the 2006 award, the Personnel and Organisation Committee intends that these awards will vest in Lend Lease Corporation shares rather than cash, other than for executives specifically identified by the Personnel and Organisation Committee or in circumstances where share settlement is not practicable. As a result of this modification the 1 July 2006 LTI is now accounted for as an equity settled share based payment. Refer to the table below for details on the financial impact of this modification.
Other LTI Awards
During the June 2008 financial year bespoke LTI plans have been granted to certain executives by the Personnel and Organisation Committee. These awards tend to have performance hurdles based on internal business unit performance targets, such as net profit after tax, global operating margin and global funds under management. The relevant performance hurdles must be satisfied in order for awards to vest, but the hurdles can vest independently. The executive must remain with the Group until vesting date for the award to vest. The Personnel and Organisation Committee intends that these awards will vest in Lend Lease Corporation shares.
Retention Awards
When the Board believes an employee is an outstanding performer and Lend Lease and its shareholders will gain from incentivising him or her to remain with Lend Lease, a retention award may be made. As an incentive to remain with the Group requires a degree of certainty of value delivered to the individual at the end of the retention period, performance conditions are not generally applied to the ultimate payment of such an award. Refer to the table below for details of the vesting conditions of retention awards.

Amounts Recognised in the Financial Statements
LTI awards are valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation methodology where the share price can be projected based on the assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes formula. Retention awards are valued by discounting the share price by the expected dividends assumed to be paid from the valuation date until the vesting date (if applicable). The model inputs include the Lend Lease Corporation share price, a risk free interest rate, expected volatility and dividend yield.
In August 2007 the Personnel and Organisation Committee modified the rules of the 1 July 2006 LTI such that it now vests in shares rather than cash, other than for certain specified executives or where share settlement is not practical. The modified LTI was valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation methodology where the share price can be projected based on the assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes formula. Details of the amounts recognised in the financial statements and the fair values relating to STI, LTI and retention awards for the years ended 30 June 2008 and 2007 are set out below.

2008 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation159
Independent Auditor’s Report
Report on the Financial Report
to the Members of Lend Lease Corporation Limited
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Lend Lease Corporation Limited (‘the Company’), which comprises the balance sheets as at 30 June 2008, and the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year ended on that date, a description of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes 1 to 37 and the Directors’ Declaration set out on page 159 of the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the Directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 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 and fair presentation of the financial report 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 (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations), a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company’s and the Group’s financial position and of their performance. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Lend Lease Corporation Limited is listed on the Australian and the New Zealand Stock Exchanges and trades under the code LLC.
american depositary Receipts
In the US, Lend Lease shares are traded on the over-the-counter market in the form of sponsored American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) under the symbol LLESY. Each ADR represents one ordinary share. Information about ADRs is available from the depositary, The Bank of New York Mellon (www.adrbny.com).
share accumulation plan
The Share Accumulation Plan is designed to be a convenient way for shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand to build their shareholdings without incurring transaction costs. The laws of other countries make it difficult for us to offer shares in this way.
Lend Lease shareholders are able to reinvest their dividends to acquire more Lend Lease shares through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) or the Share Election Plan (SEP). Shareholders may also make contributions of between A$500 and A$2,500 to acquire new Lend Lease shares under the Share Purchase Plan (SPP). Together the DRP, SEP and SPP constitute the Share Accumulation Plan.
The rules of each of these plans are set out in the Share Accumulation Plan Information Sheet. Copies are available on the Lend Lease website. Please note that the Share Election Plan and the Share Purchase Plan are currently suspended.
annual Report
Recent amendments to the Corporations Act allow companies to provide their annual reports to shareholders via a website rather than by hard copy and to provide hard copy annual reports only to those shareholders who elect to receive them in that form.
In the past Lend Lease shareholders have had the choice of receiving either a concise annual report or a full financial report or both. For the 2008 financial year and going forward, Lend Lease is simplifying the choices available and shareholders will now have the option of receiving either :
-
a full statutory annual report; or
-
a shareholder review.
Consistent with current practice, Lend Lease will make both the annual report and the shareholder review available online but for the 2008 financial year and going forward, a hard copy of one of either the annual report or the shareholder review will only be sent to those shareholders who elect to receive them in that form. In addition, you may elect to receive notification that the annual report and the shareholder review are available online.
privacy Legislation
Under Chapter 2C of the Corporations Act 2001 , a shareholder’s information (including the name, address and details of shares held) is required to be included in Lend Lease’s public register. This information must continue to be included in Lend Lease’s public register for seven years after a person ceases to be a shareholder. These statutory obligations are not altered by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 . Information is collected to administer the shareholder’s holding and if some or all of the information is not collected, then it might not be possible to administer the holding. Lend Lease’s privacy policy is available on our website. The Share Registry’s privacy policy is available on its website (www.linkmarketservices.com.au).
