chairman’s report

==> picture [228 x 258] intentionally omitted <==

the year ended June 2009

Against the unprecedented market conditions, the Group delivered operating profit after tax of $307.5 million, slightly above guidance given on 11 May 2009 of operating profit after tax of circa $300 million for the year. The earnings decline compared to the prior year was primarily due to a lower contribution from capital recycling and subdued conditions in the Australian and UK residential markets.

Lend Lease reported a statutory loss after tax for the year of $653.6 million, reflecting net write-downs and charges.

Directors declared a final dividend of 16 cents, franked to 100%, representing a payout ratio of 61% of operating profit after tax for the full year ended 30 June 2009.

Looking ahead

Following a smooth transition, from former Managing Director and CEO, Greg Clarke, to Steve McCann, we have made some important refinements to our fully integrated property group strategy and business model.

Steve ran the Group’s global Investment Management business from September 2005 and was appointed Finance Director from March 2007 before being appointed CEO in December 2008. Prior to joining Lend Lease he had been a long-term financial adviser to Lend Lease. He has a deep understanding of our business.

Lend Lease is well placed to deliver improving value for shareholders as we work towards that objective and conditions improve. The Company has significant headroom under its banking covenants and its capital position was enhanced by the $302.5 million of equity issued earlier in the year. As a result, Lend Lease has the capacity today to fund all of its committed development pipeline over the next three years, with cash and cash equivalents of over $1 billion and strong underlying cash flows.

That capacity is enhanced by the Group’s partnership model and reputation as a leading property investment manager, providing access to third party capital. This enables Lend Lease to pursue the best opportunities available at each stage of the property cycle and deliver a higher return on Lend Lease’s capital. Underpinning this development earnings potential is a solid base of recurring earnings from investment management income from fees and co-investments.

Disciplined capital management and conservative borrowing during the good times meant that Lend Lease was able to navigate the global financial crisis to perform well, on a relative basis, over the year to June 2009 and remain in a strong financial condition. Conditions remain uncertain but the efforts of governments around the world appear to be helping to stabilise the situation. We remain cautious but also confident that Lend Lease is well placed to take advantage of opportunities ahead of many competitors.

The construction and PPP businesses have performed well this year and, while we expect it to remain difficult to source new construction projects from the private sector for at least the next year, both these businesses are now accessing significant opportunities from government stimulus packages.

Sustainability has been an integral part of the Group’s culture for 50 years. We not only believe the principle, we also know it is the smart thing to do. Lend Lease is proudly recognised as a leader in sustainability in the property industry.

Lend Lease continues to intensify its commitment to operating Incident & Injury Free. The scale of that vision is brought into focus with eight sub-contractor employee fatalities globally this year, despite good reductions in the overall rate of incidents and injuries. Our aim continues to be to operate Incident & Injury Free.

outlook and dividend policy

Given the ongoing uncertain conditions, Lend Lease is not providing specific short-term earnings guidance. Directors and management continue to be positive about the Group’s operating outlook and remain focused on optimising total shareholder returns from all the Group’s activities.

Long-term shareholder returns will not be sacrificed to meet short-term earnings targets through sub-optimal asset sales or other capital measures. At this point in the cycle, you should expect to see Lend Lease taking advantage of its very low leverage and investing capital to secure the best positions and develop the most appropriate projects in the pipeline as conditions improve.

With effect from the interim dividend 2010, Lend Lease is changing its dividend policy. Lend Lease will change its dividend payout ratio from the range 60% to 80% of operating profit after tax to 40% to 60% of operating profit after tax. Lend Lease will frank the dividend to the maximum extent possible on a sustainable basis.

chief executive Officer’s report

----- Start of picture text -----

8/9
----- End of picture text -----

The 2009 financial year was impacted by one of the toughest and broadest downturns the property markets have yet seen. Fortunately, we entered the downturn in excellent financial shape. While we have been primarily focused on protecting that position through prudent capital management and cost reductions, we have also been positioning the business to capture the best opportunities likely to arise from the next market growth cycle.

We are strategically positioned to leverage off a number of major trends in the property market globally, particularly urbanisation, ageing of populations, government stimulus spending and commercialisation of sustainability.

• In 40 years time, 27% of the world’s population is expected to be over the age of 65 compared to approximately 15% today. Lend Lease’s position as a premier manager of retirement properties in Australia means we are well placed to capitalise on this trend.

• Many governments have ambitions to reduce carbon emissions and to deliver sustainable communities. This also plays well to our strengths.

  • Our superior delivery capability and strong reputation for collaboration make us an ideal partnership candidate for government projects being rolled out under stimulus packages in various countries.

realising shareholder value from our advantages

While having a strong balance sheet and multiple growth options are big advantages at this stage of the cycle, they will not automatically translate into improving shareholder value.

The tactical actions to secure that value in the short term are largely complete. The cost base has been right-sized to adjust for the downturn in volumes across most of our businesses. Capital is being preserved by reprioritising developments in line with market conditions and targeting key, strategic projects that build backlog for all Group businesses. We are maintaining active management of capital already invested in the business and all businesses are focused on optimising cash flows.

To maximise longer-term potential shareholder value from the Group’s strong position, I have worked with the senior executive team and Board of Directors to develop a clear set of objectives and operating principles for the Group.

It is a great privilege to be chosen to lead the Lend Lease team in the year that the Company celebrated 50 years of property industry leadership. Lend Lease has a proud history and I will work hard with my senior management team to drive shareholder value and contribute positively to the Group’s culture and legacy.

We have not fundamentally changed our strategy or business model but have made important refinements to performance management, portfolio management, capital recycling and collaboration across our businesses.

Steve McCann Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

performance targets

We are focused primarily on shareholder return as measured by Return on Equity and Return on Capital. Earnings per share growth remains an important measure but is not the key driver of decisions. Key Performance Indicators for employees, even in the short term, have regard to progress towards delivering the appropriate longer-term return on capital and other key metrics for the relevant business. Other performance measurements include strategic initiatives, people management and operational excellence targets. Embedded in all of our businesses is our culture of safety first and we will continue to work tirelessly to achieve an Incident & Injury Free workplace.

portfolio management

We measure and monitor our capital allocation rigorously. In the short term we plan to rebalance our portfolio toward Australia to reinforce our leadership position in our home market. Diversifying the Group’s earnings will remain an important goal – but only where we can achieve scale operating platforms in our chosen sectors and geographies over a realistic time frame and where we can work safely.

capital recycling

Lend Lease is not a distressed seller of assets and we will not sell assets to hit short-term profit targets. Instead, we will recycle capital only when it delivers acceptable shareholder returns and to fund future growth opportunities.

collaboration to maximise earnings

All Lend Lease companies will increase their focus on the benefits of our fully integrated business model. We have taken significant steps in this regard, including the merger of our development and investment management teams in all regions.

Lend Lease is well placed to deliver attractive growth in shareholder value over the long term. We will measure our progress against how well we perform against the initiatives and priorities I have set out in this report. I am confident that we will deliver against those measures. As we do so, shareholders should see Lend Lease re-positioned as a recognised leader internationally in the provision of world-class property solutions, with all of the attendant growth opportunities that such recognition will bring.

Our capabilities

with capabilities that span the entire property value chain, from the origination of opportunities through to the delivery of great property outcomes, we can offer investors and clients one element or an end-to-end solution.

development management

Lend Lease has a proven track record in creating and managing complex mixed-use property developments incorporating large scale commercial, residential, retail, master planned communities and senior living.

  • Lend Lease holds an ownership interest in 10 centres.

  • The market value of Lend Lease’s interests in these centres declined to $1.5 billion, down from $2.0 billion in 2008. This was primarily due to weakening of capitalisation rates, principally in the UK.

  • Operating profit after tax has remained robust, primarily due to comparatively stable income from the Bluewater and King of Prussia shopping centres.

313@somerset, singapore exciting singapore retail opening

In August 2006, Lend Lease secured the highly coveted Somerset site from the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore for S$617.2 million to build a new regional shopping mall – 313@somerset.

Lend Lease is working on all phases of the project, from development, leasing, project management and construction to asset and property management services on completion. Lend Lease and the Lend Lease Asian Retail Investment Fund are the owners of 313@somerset.

313@somerset is scheduled for opening in December 2009 and will showcase eight levels of retail, targeting mid level food and fashion in an exciting dynamic environment. The centre’s vision is to be one of the leading retail destinations in mid to upper-mid fashion, food and lifestyle and will open 100% leased.

The leasing team at 313@somerset has secured international fashion retailer Zara, which is launching a three-level flagship store in the new mall. Brand names also supporting the fashion mix include a four level Forever 21 and well known UK brand New Look. These retailers will be joined by market brands Esprit, Mango, Lacoste and Levi. 313@somerset was awarded the highest sustainability recognition in Singapore from the Building & Construction Authority – Green Mark Platinum award in 2008.

313@somerset has the first Registered Training Organisation for its retailers, offering free accredited training courses. This is a first for Lend Lease globally and a first for a retail mall in Singapore. It is expected that over 1,000 retailer employees will be trained in this facility in the next 12 months.

the centre’s vision is to be one of the leading retail destinations in mid to upper-mid fashion, food and lifestyle.

  • Some key highlights of 313@somerset’s sustainability journey to date include:

  • greater than 30% reduction in energy consumption compared to code compliant building through design and equipment selection;

  • generation of renewable energy via photovoltaic arrays;

  • detailed carbon footprint analysis and reduction strategy;

  • retailer sustainability initiatives and commitments;

  • thermal energy storage to increase energy conservation;

  • co-generation of heat and electricity via bio-fuel for use within the centre;

  • sustainability education strategies for our community, retailers and customers; and

  • the centre is the first retail development in Singapore to introduce Green Lease Agreement.

  • Global Communities

operating profit after tax declined 12% to $88.3 million, from $100.3 million in 2008. This was due to a significant decline in residential sales and settlements as a result of weak trading conditions in both the UK and Australia.

  • In light of the difficult market conditions in the UK and Australian residential markets, the Communities business has reduced the carrying value of its inventory and other assets and has written off the goodwill in relation to the Crosby Lend Lease business in the UK and the Australian Communities businesses.

  • The Communities business has a residential backlog of 102,040 units and a total commercial backlog of 4.7 million square metres.

==> picture [77 x 131] intentionally omitted <==

  • During the year, Lend Lease completed the acquisition of a 43.2% interest in Lend Lease Primelife (previously Babcock & Brown Communities) and the associated management rights.

  • In Asia Pacific Communities, profit after tax included the profit from the sale of its interest in seven retirement villages and an aged care facility to Lend Lease Primelife.

  • In the UK, conditions for the Communities business remain very challenging. Despite this, we remain well placed with three of the major urban regeneration projects in London: Greenwich, Elephant & Castle and the Athletes Village.

  • The Communities business in the US involves one project, Horizon Uptown, which is in the planning/approval stages and which Lend Lease will only commence when market conditions recover.

Aerial view of construction at Stratford, United Kingdom

cAse study: stratford, united kingdom the Athletes village

The Athletes Village is one of the most significant urban developments in the United Kingdom and is part of the broader masterplan for a new piece of city in east London.

In the short term, the Athletes Village will provide thousands of beds for athletes and officials during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. After 2012, it will transform into a lively residential community featuring an Education Academy, community and healthcare facilities, and numerous parks and open spaces, all located within a short train journey to central London.

The Athletes Village development is publicly owned with investment from the Olympic Delivery Authority’s (ODA’s) budget. The ODA is overseeing the delivery of the Athletes Village, with Lend Lease appointed as development manager and Bovis Lend Lease as the construction manager.

phase One will deliver:

• 2,819 homes (with 1,004 of these affordable) targeting Level 4 of the code for sustainable homes (uk green building certification).

  • Over 10 hectares of open space.

• An Academy education campus catering for 1,800 students.

  • Transport facilities and global connections to international stations.

The Village will be designed and built in a way that requires lower energy demand, using materials and construction processes that have low embodied energy. The Village will also seek to minimise waste and increase recycled content in design and construction. Water savings are a key focus, with water efficient measures being applied during construction of the Village and water efficient fixtures and fittings to be used throughout to reduce overall water demand. Site wide water use will be complementary to the ecology and design of the landscape.

Design, planning and construction have made significant progress since work began on the permanent foundations of the Village in June 2008. Construction of all 11 residential plots is now underway.

Pendle Vale College and Community High School entrance, part of the first phase of the BSF program in East Lancashire

Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is the largest single schools capital investment program in the UK for over 50 years. Catalyst Lend Lease has formed a Local Education Partnership (LEP) with Lancashire County Council to deliver the BSF program in East Lancashire.

The first ‘wave’ of this program involves the provision of 14 schools and two academies, spread over three phases. It represents the largest single investment ever made in secondary education in this area of the county.

The first phase, seven schools on three sites – Shuttleworth College, Burnley Campus and Pendle Vale – opened in September 2008.

Two schools from the second phase, Sir John Thursby Community College and Ridgewood Community High School, have opened successfully. The remaining five phase one schools will all open in 2010, together with Accrington Academy. In June 2009 Catalyst Lend Lease reached financial close with the County Council for the third phase of the program, involving

a further three schools. In addition, the LEP will upgrade Accrington Academy and the Academy for North Preston.

Sustainability is a key factor in the new schools, both in regards to environmental credentials and through the creation of a local skills legacy, led by Catalyst Lend Lease and the BSF supply chain.

All the schools will be equipped with carbon neutral biomass boilers and energy saving measures such as wind turbines, solar collectors and photovoltaic cells, together with rainwater harvesting to reduce water consumption.

The skills legacy plan has been extremely successful, with over £40 million of contracts being awarded to Lancashire businesses and over 40 new jobs created for local school leavers with companies working in the supply chain.

Construction of ANZ Centre, Melbourne, Australia

cAse study: Anz centre, Australia Office accommodation

In 2006, Lend Lease agreed commercial terms with ANZ to develop circa 83,500 square metres of office accommodation at its landmark Victoria Harbour development in Melbourne. Lend Lease was engaged to provide development management services, with project management, design and construction services provided by Bovis Lend Lease.

Site work commenced in late 2006 and is due for completion in late 2009. ANZ Centre, when completed, will be the largest single tenanted commercial building in Australia, accommodating up to 6,500 employees. The building is located on the new extension of Collins Street and is bounded by the Yarra River and Docklands Park. The proximity of the project to the Yarra River required 1,500 piles, driven to a depth of 35 metres – the equivalent of a 10-storey building underground. In addition, 97 specially imported steel tube piles were driven

Anz centre, when completed, will be the largest single tenanted commercial building in Australia.

up to 40 metres into the riverbed to form the support on which the Yarra River Boardwalk will sit.

All areas within the building are a maximum of 12 metres from a natural light source, improving the workplace environment and reducing energy consumption.

Sustainability features in the building include energy generation via an on-site gas-fired tri-generation unit, 1,000 square metres of solar cells, and roof-mounted wind turbines. A blackwater treatment plant will recycle all waste water for reuses such as toilet flushing and cooling towers.

The project is registered for three Green Star ratings from the Green Building Council of Australia.

The project was awarded the Excellence in Health & Safety award at the Master Builders Association of Victoria’s 2009 Excellence in Construction Awards.

  • Total operating profit after tax for Investment Management declined to $28.9 million from $137.3 million. This was principally due to the prior year including a profit after tax of $40.1 million from the sale of a proportion of the Group’s interest in Australian Prime Property Funds (APPF) and in Europe, a tax exempt dividend of $47.9 million from the Group’s interest in the advisor company Lend Lease Global Properties, SICAF in relation to incentive fees.

  • Funds under management increased by $0.6 billion to $9.9 billion, principally due to the acquisition of the Lend Lease Primelife management rights.

developing leadership by working with leaders

Over the past year, Lend Lease has committed itself to work in partnership with the Clinton Climate Initiative on opportunities to significantly reduce the environmental impact of buildings through maximising energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In November 2008, Lend Lease Investment Management and the Clinton Climate Initiative signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a collaborative relationship focusing on existing building refurbishment opportunities.

In May this year at the C40 Summit in Korea, the Clinton Climate Initiative launched a global program, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Called the Climate Positive Development Program, it will support

the development of large scale urban projects to demonstrate that cities can grow in ways that are ‘climate positive’. Two Lend Lease projects, Victoria Harbour in Melbourne and Elephant & Castle in London, are amongst the first of 16 projects in 10 countries across six continents.

To reduce the net greenhouse gas emissions of the projects participating in the Climate Positive program to below zero, property developers and local governments will agree to work in partnership on specific areas of activity. This includes implementing economically viable innovations in the buildings, the generation of clean energy, waste management, water management, transportation, and outdoor lighting systems.

When the initial 16 projects are completed, nearly one million people will live and work in Climate Positive communities.

Cranes for children

A visit to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne has been made extra special for one group of children thanks to a Bovis Lend Lease initiative. As part of the Children’s Health Partnership consortium, Bovis Lend Lease is responsible for the construction of Victoria’s largest hospital redevelopment.

The project has required nine cranes onsite and Bovis Lend Lease crane drivers decided each needed a name – honouring one of the hospital’s courageous young patients. Each of the children recognised in this way were invited to an official crane naming ceremony and presented with a personalised Bovis Lend Lease hard hat and safety jacket.

Chairman’s report

Disciplined capital management and conservative borrowing during the good times meant that Lend Lease was able to navigate the global financial crisis to perform well, on a relative basis, over the year to June 2009 and remain in a strong financial condition. Conditions remain uncertain but the efforts of governments around the world appear to be helping to stabilise the situation. We remain cautious but also confident that Lend Lease is well placed to take advantage of opportunities ahead of many competitors.

David Crawford AO Chairman

the year ended June 2009

Against the unprecedented market conditions, the Group delivered operating profit after tax of $307.5 million, slightly above guidance given on 11 May 2009 of operating profit after tax of circa $300 million for the year. The earnings decline compared to the prior year was primarily due to a lower contribution from capital recycling and subdued conditions in the Australian and UK residential markets.

Lend Lease reported a statutory loss after tax for the year of $653.6 million, reflecting net write‑downs and charges.

Directors declared a final dividend of 16 cents, franked to 100%, representing a payout ratio of 61% of operating profit after tax for the full year ended 30 June 2009.

looking ahead

Following a smooth transition, from former Managing Director and CEO, Greg Clarke, to Steve McCann, we have made some important refinements to our fully integrated property group strategy and business model.

Steve ran the Group’s global Investment Management business from September 2005 and was appointed Finance Director from March 2007 before being appointed CEO in December 2008. Prior to joining Lend Lease he had been a long‑term financial adviser to Lend Lease. He has a deep understanding of our business.

Lend Lease is well placed to deliver improving value for shareholders as we work towards that objective and conditions improve. The Company has significant headroom under its banking covenants and its capital position was enhanced by the $302.5 million of equity issued earlier in the year. As a result, Lend Lease has the capacity today to fund all of its committed development pipeline over the next three years, with cash and cash equivalents of over $1 billion and strong underlying cash flows.

That capacity is enhanced by the Group’s partnership model and reputation as a leading property investment manager, providing access to third party capital. This enables Lend Lease to pursue the best opportunities available at each stage of the property cycle and deliver a higher return on Lend Lease’s capital. Underpinning this development earnings potential is a solid base of recurring earnings from investment management income from fees and co‑investments.

The construction and PPP businesses have performed well this year and, while we expect it to remain difficult to source new construction projects from the private sector for at least the next year, both these businesses are now accessing significant opportunities from government stimulus packages.

Sustainability has been an integral part of the Group’s culture for 50 years. We not only believe the principle, we also know it is the smart thing to do. Lend Lease is proudly recognised as a leader in sustainability in the property industry.

Lend Lease continues to intensify its commitment to operating Incident & Injury Free. The scale of that vision is brought into focus with eight sub‑contractor employee fatalities globally this year, despite good reductions in the overall rate of incidents and injuries. Our aim continues to be to operate Incident & Injury Free.

outlook and dividend policy

Given the ongoing uncertain conditions, Lend Lease is not providing specific short‑term earnings guidance. Directors and management continue to be positive about the Group’s operating outlook and remain focused on optimising total shareholder returns from all the Group’s activities.

Long‑term shareholder returns will not be sacrificed to meet short‑term earnings targets through sub‑optimal asset sales or other capital measures. At this point in the cycle, you should expect to see Lend Lease taking advantage of its very low leverage and investing capital to secure the best positions and develop the most appropriate projects in the pipeline as conditions improve.

With effect from the interim dividend 2010, Lend Lease is changing its dividend policy. Lend Lease will change its dividend payout ratio from the range 60% to 80% of operating profit after tax to 40% to 60% of operating profit after tax. Lend Lease will frank the dividend to the maximum extent possible on a sustainable basis.

The 2009 financial year was impacted by one of the toughest and broadest downturns the property markets have yet seen. Fortunately, we entered the downturn in excellent financial shape. While we have been primarily focused on protecting that position through prudent capital management and cost reductions, we have also been positioning the business to capture the best opportunities likely to arise from the next market growth cycle.

Lend Lease has a number of growth options and we are well positioned to take advantage of these.

  • We are strategically positioned to leverage off a number of major trends in the property market globally, particularly urbanisation, ageing of populations, government stimulus spending and commercialisation of sustainability.

  • In 40 years time, 27% of the world’s population is expected to be over the age of 65 compared to approximately 15% today. Lend Lease’s position as a premier manager of retirement properties in Australia means we are well placed to capitalise on this trend.

  • Many governments have ambitions to reduce carbon emissions and to deliver sustainable communities. This also plays well to our strengths.

  • Our superior delivery capability and strong reputation for collaboration make us an ideal partnership candidate for government projects being rolled out under stimulus packages in various countries.

realising shareholder value from our advantages

While having a strong balance sheet and multiple growth options are big advantages at this stage of the cycle, they will not automatically translate into improving shareholder value.

The tactical actions to secure that value in the short term are largely complete. The cost base has been right‑sized to adjust for the downturn in volumes across most of our businesses. Capital is being preserved by reprioritising developments in line with market conditions and targeting key, strategic projects that build backlog for all Group businesses. We are maintaining active management of capital already invested in the business and all businesses are focused on optimising cash flows.

To maximise longer‑term potential shareholder value from the Group’s strong position, I have worked with the senior executive team and Board of Directors to develop a clear set of objectives and operating principles for the Group.

Performance targets

We are focused primarily on shareholder return as measured by Return on Equity and Return on Capital. Earnings per share growth remains an important measure but is not the key driver of decisions. Key Performance Indicators for employees, even in the short term, have regard to progress towards delivering the appropriate longer‑term return on capital and other key metrics for the relevant business. Other performance measurements include strategic initiatives, people management and operational excellence targets. Embedded in all of our businesses is our culture of safety first and we will continue to work tirelessly to achieve an Incident & Injury Free workplace.

Portfolio management

We measure and monitor our capital allocation rigorously. In the short term we plan to rebalance our portfolio toward Australia to reinforce our leadership position in our home market. Diversifying the Group’s earnings will remain an important goal – but only where we can achieve scale operating platforms in our chosen sectors and geographies over a realistic time frame and where we can work safely.

Capital recycling

Lend Lease is not a distressed seller of assets and we will not sell assets to hit short‑term profit targets. Instead, we will recycle capital only when it delivers acceptable shareholder returns and to fund future growth opportunities.

Collaboration to maximise earnings

All Lend Lease companies will increase their focus on the benefits of our fully integrated business model. We have taken significant steps in this regard, including the merger of our development and investment management teams in all regions.

Lend Lease is well placed to deliver attractive growth in shareholder value over the long term. We will measure our progress against how well we perform against the initiatives and priorities I have set out in this report. I am confident that we will deliver against those measures. As we do so, shareholders should see Lend Lease re‑positioned as a recognised leader internationally in the provision of world‑class property solutions, with all of the attendant growth opportunities that such recognition will bring.

Chief executive officer’s report

It is a great privilege to be chosen to lead the Lend Lease team in the year that the Company celebrated 50 years of property industry leadership. Lend Lease has a proud history and I will work hard with my senior management team to drive shareholder value and contribute positively to the Group’s culture and legacy.

We have not fundamentally changed our strategy or business model but have made important refinements to performance management, portfolio management, capital recycling and collaboration across our businesses.

outlook

  • In Asia Pacific, the portfolio delivered net operating income (NOI) growth of 4.4%. However, it is clear that retail sales are slowing. Importantly for Lend Lease, the economic downturn has had limited impact on the asset management business as we are not a significant owner of retail assets in Australia.

  • In Singapore, 313@somerset remains on time and budget and will open fully leased in December 2009.

  • In the UK, difficult trading conditions have impacted NOI and expansion in capitalisation rates over the year has impacted values, requiring asset write-downs. However, our development opportunities require limited capital expenditure in the short to medium term.

  • In the US, the value of Lend Lease’s 50% interest in King of Prussia was impacted by expansion in capitalisation rates, with the valuation in US dollar terms down 14%.

==> picture [193 x 301] intentionally omitted <==

  • Lend Lease holds an ownership interest in 10 centres.

  • The market value of Lend Lease’s interests in these centres declined to $1.5 billion, down from $2.0 billion in 2008. This was primarily due to weakening of capitalisation rates, principally in the UK.

  • Operating profit after tax has remained robust, primarily due to comparatively stable income from the Bluewater and King of Prussia shopping centres.

  • In Australia, the residential market was weak throughout 2009, with expectations that these market conditions would continue into 2010. There have been some improvements post year end. In addition, we continue to add trading projects, progress rezonings and work with builders and financiers. The businesses have been re-sized to reflect the softer market conditions and where appropriate we are limiting capital investment to key projects.

  • In the UK, our focus is to streamline the business and minimise cash and capital requirements during difficult market circumstances while protecting established positions that provide future value creation potential. We will seek to clear the Crosby Lend Lease stock over the next 12 months and concentrate on priority development projects such as the Athletes Village.

  • In the US, the Horizon project is on hold until market conditions recover.

  • In Asia Pacific, we continue to see strong market conditions for social infrastructure, particularly in the health and education sectors.

  • In the UK, despite some slowdown in commercial, we are still seeing opportunities in government.

  • In the Americas, we continue to focus across the business on safety, people and performance and on making sure that our level of overhead is proportional to market conditions.

  • Despite the downturn in market conditions, we are well placed given our significant geographic and sector diversity. While top-line growth will be impacted, our business is resilient and we remain focused on ensuring we have the right cost base and maintaining strong margins.

  • With backlog GPM of $690.1 million, this underpins Bovis Lend Lease’s earnings for the 2010 financial year.

  • In Europe, the UK business continues to return to normal levels of profit, although the business continues to be impacted by the work‑out of UK projects where loss provisions were taken in prior years.

  • Bovis Lend Lease delivered a strong result due to a standout performance in Australia.

  • Global profit after tax was $168.9 million, up 13% on the June 2008 result of $150.0 million. The profitability ratio increased from 34% to 39%, principally due to the higher profit contribution in Europe and Asia Pacific.

  • In the Americas, profit after tax was impacted by costs relating to a fire at the former Deutsche Bank building in New York.

  • In Asia Pacific, profit after tax was up 37% to $94.7 million from $69.0 million in 2008, on the back of continued strong market conditions, particularly for social infrastructure. Since April 2009, Bovis Lend Lease has secured circa $1 billion of education work under government stimulus packages.

  • Backlog gross profit margin decreased by 12% from $788.3 million to $690.1 million, with 58% expected to be realised in the 2010 financial year.

All areas within the building are a maximum of 12 metres from a natural light source, improving the workplace environment and reducing energy consumption.

In 2006, Lend Lease agreed commercial terms with ANZ to develop circa 83,500 square metres of office accommodation at its landmark Victoria Harbour development in Melbourne. Lend Lease was engaged to provide development management services, with project management, design and construction services provided by Bovis Lend Lease.

Sustainability features in the building include energy generation via an on‑site gas‑fired tri‑generation unit, 1,000 square metres of solar cells, and roof‑mounted wind turbines. A blackwater treatment plant will recycle all waste water for reuses such as toilet flushing and cooling towers.

Site work commenced in late 2006 and is due for completion in late 2009. ANZ Centre, when completed, will be the largest single tenanted commercial building in Australia, accommodating up to 6,500 employees. The building is located on the new extension of Collins Street and is bounded by the Yarra River and Docklands Park. The proximity of the project to the Yarra River required 1,500 piles, driven to a depth of 35 metres – the equivalent of a 10‑storey building underground. In addition, 97 specially imported steel tube piles were driven

During this time, Lend Lease has delivered six major stages of the precinct including the Four Points by Sheraton, three stages of Darling Park, Jacksons Landing and Cockle Bay Wharf.

our safety

Incident & Injury free

Lend Lease has a deep and widespread commitment to operating Incident & Injury Free wherever we have a presence – this is an enormous challenge but one we are determined to progress.

Safety touches every aspect of the Lend Lease business, from the buildings we design and construct to the way our assets are managed.

Providing our people with the right systems and tools to deliver safe outcomes is crucial to achieving our Incident & Injury Free vision. A lot of hard work has been done over the past year to build on our accomplishments to date and set in place a robust and vigorous global governance system for safety.

We have implemented Global Minimum Requirements for safety to address key risks right across the business from our construction sites to the assets we design and manage.

This has been supported by extensive education, training and worker engagement programs. We still have a lot to do to realise our Incident & Injury Free vision – but we are confident that we are on the right track.

the Safety dashboard includes compliance, incident reporting and key safety risk information for all Lend Lease construction projects throughout the world.

safety dashboard

The Safety Dashboard is a web‑based safety reporting system that provides a central reference point for all key construction safety data from across the company.

Developed by the Lend Lease IT team over the past 12 months, the Safety Dashboard includes compliance, incident reporting and key safety risk information for all Lend Lease construction projects throughout the world. Using a combination of lead and lag indicators, the Safety Dashboard provides a holistic picture of safety performance.

Health & safety Performance

Under our Incident & Injury Free vision we are striving to achieve zero incidents and injuries in our business. As we believe it is important to promote transparency, Lend Lease takes a comprehensive approach to incident reporting across our sites and assets by including incidents involving indirect contractors.

Sadly, eight people died on Lend Lease projects this financial year on our global construction sites. This is unacceptable.

cranes for children

A visit to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne has been made extra special for one group of children thanks to a Bovis Lend Lease initiative. As part of the Children’s Health Partnership consortium, Bovis Lend Lease is responsible for the construction of Victoria’s largest hospital redevelopment.

The project has required nine cranes onsite and Bovis Lend Lease crane drivers decided each needed a name – honouring one of the hospital’s courageous young patients. Each of the children recognised in this way were invited to an official crane naming ceremony and presented with a personalised Bovis Lend Lease hard hat and safety jacket.

Lend Lease Commitment to Governance

The Directors believe that exceptional 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 complied with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations (ASX Recommendations). A table summarising the Group’s compliance is provided at the end of this Corporate Governance Statement.

In addition to the information set out in this section, the corporate governance area 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 3 September 2009.

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 Charter sets out the role, structure, responsibilities and operation of the Board as well as the function of, and division of responsibilities between, the Board and senior management. The Board has identified certain functions and responsibilities which are reserved to the Board pursuant to the Charter and these are set out in the table on the opposite page. The Board delegates authority for all other functions and matters necessary for the day‑to‑day management of the Group to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO then delegates to senior management as required. 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 Board Charter, which includes the matters reserved to the Board and those delegated to the CEO, 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 currently fixed the maximum number of Directors at eight.

There are currently eight Directors on the Board, one Executive Director and seven Non Executive Directors. Membership of the Board as at 3 September 2009 is set out in the table on the following 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 parts 1.4 and 4.2 of this Corporate Governance Statement. Biographical details for the Directors are provided in the Directors’ Report on page 75.

1.3 Independent Directors

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 judgement. 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.

25

Corporate Governance continued

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.

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.

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, David Ryan and Mark Selway, are independent because each 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 judgement.

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 advisery 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 advisery services to Lend Lease in respect of the then proposed merger with General Property Trust. The Board does not consider Mr Ryan’s advisery 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.

Executive Director, Stephen McCann (Managing Director and CEO) is not considered to be an independent Director due to his integral involvement in the day-to-day management of the Group’s businesses.

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

1.4 Selection and Appointment of New Directors

In relation to the selection and appointment of new Directors, the Nomination Committee has the following duties and responsibilities:

  • Regularly review the size and composition of the Board and the mix of expertise, skills, experience and perspectives that may be 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; and

  • Identify and evaluate Board candidates with the assistance of recruitment consultants if required, and recommend individuals for appointment to the Board.

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 undergo a thorough recruitment process which involves background checks and formal interviews with each of the Directors of 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.

1.5 Retirement and Re-election of Directors

Pursuant to the Constitution of Lend Lease Corporation Limited, 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 (excluding the Managing Director) must seek election at the first meeting of shareholders following their appointment.

A copy of the Constitution of Lend Lease Corporation Limited is available from the corporate governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com. Clause 6 of the Constitution details the procedures to be followed in relation to the appointment, retirement and re-election of Directors.

The Board unanimously endorses the re-election of Directors Phillip Colebatch and Julie Hill standing for re-election at the 2009 Annual General Meeting.

1.6 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.

1.7 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 on page 77. 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.

1.8 Board Performance

The Board and the Nomination Committee review Board and Board Committee performance and the performance of each of the Directors each year. In accordance with the Nomination Committee Charter, the Nomination Committee undertakes an external performance review at a minimum on a biennial basis, and the Board undertakes a self-assessment of their performance each alternate year.

External Review

Since 2004, the external performance review has been conducted by Colin Carter & Associates Board Advisers. Each year that a review is conducted, the performance of the Board and Board Committees is compared to prior year reviews as well as to the results of other Australian companies who have undertaken the same review process.

The main areas reviewed include:

  • Role of the Board;

  • Size and composition of the Board;

  • Procedures and practices of the Board;

  • Meeting arrangements and meeting discipline;

  • Relationship with Management; and

  • New challenges.

The findings of the external review are considered by the Board and remedial action taken where required.

Internal Review

In addition to those matters considered during an external review, the Nomination Committee Charter requires that an internal review also includes 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 internal review process includes interviews with the Directors and senior management, and may involve interviews with key stakeholders, 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.

Directors also undertake a self-assessment of their performance as part of this internal review for review by the Chairman. Non Executive Directors are also required pursuant to the Board Charter to consult with the Chairman before accepting new commitments which could impact on their available time.

Following analysis of all internal review processes, an action plan is formulated and remedial action taken where required.

Conduct of Reviews

The last external review was conducted prior to the start of the financial year in March 2008. An internal review was not conducted during the financial year. The next review is an external one and was commenced in September 2009.

1.9 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 Director’s 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.

1.10 Induction and Briefing Programs

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.

1.11 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.

1.12 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.

The EMT comprises the functional heads, the regional CEOs and the Global CEO of Bovis Lend Lease and the Global Head of PPP. The EMT is responsible for managing the Group’s performance and key business issues in line with the Group’s long term strategy and for talent and performance management.

2.2 Performance Review

The CEO is responsible for setting financial targets as well as operational and management goals for the members of the EMT in consultation with the Personnel and Organisation Committee. Both short term and long term goals form part of the performance management of all senior executives. Long term goals are directly linked to remuneration benefits, which include retention and performance shares as set out in the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan. Short term goals are generally directly linked to an annual bonus award. Further details of the Incentive Plans are contained in the Directors’ Report.

The CEO and Personnel and Organisation Committee conduct a detailed review of the performance of senior executives against these goals on an annual basis at the end of each financial year.

In accordance with this Policy, a review of the performance of all senior executives was conducted in the financial year and was in accordance with the procedure described above.

2.3 Remuneration

Details of the Group’s Remuneration Policy, including the remuneration of all senior executives, are based on performance measured against financial and individual targets as set out above in 2.2. Further information on executive incentive programs is set out in the Directors’ Report.

Pre Vesting Hedging Arrangements

The Company policy in relation to Long Term Investment Plans prohibits executives from entering into pre vesting hedging arrangements in relation to LTI awards.

Transactions or arrangements must only be entered into during the prescribed trading periods set out in the Securities Trading Policy. The Policy states that Directors, designated executives and employees must also not enter into transactions or arrangements that operate to limit the economic risk of unvested entitlements to Lend Lease securities. Key Management Personnel are required to complete an annual declaration that they have complied with the terms of the Securities Trading Policy.

Retirement Benefits Plan

Non Executive Directors accrue benefits in Lend Lease Corporation Limited shares which will fluctuate in line with the value of these 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 Corporation shares traded on the ASX during the five business days prior to 1 January each year.

The shares are 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. Further details of the Retirement Plan for Non Executive Directors are also provided in the Directors’ Report.

Lend Lease recognises the importance of complying with the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations as set out in the ASX Listing Rules.

Directors are required to state in writing to Lend Lease on an annual basis that they are familiar with the contents of this Policy.

The Policy explains the continuous disclosure obligations of Lend Lease, the procedure to be followed when information needs to be disclosed to the market, contains guidance on how to identify information which may fall within the disclosure requirements and the consequences of breaching the Policy.

The Policy states that Lend Lease must disclose information to the ASX and NZX immediately if:

A copy of the External Communications and Continuous Disclosure Policy is available from the corporate governance section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com.

6.2 Communications with Shareholders

Lend Lease also recognises that while there is a legal obligation of disclosure, there is also an important ethical obligation to shareholders to ensure that investor confidence is maintained through effective, full and timely communication and disclosure to shareholders and the market.

The Group’s External Communications and Continuous Disclosure Policy is designed to facilitate this important objective, and promotes effective communication with shareholders by ensuring that information (in addition to information that may be required to be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s legal continuous disclosure obligations) that may otherwise be important to a shareholder, such as information about the Group’s activities, is available to the investor in a timely and readily accessible manner. The Policy ensures that all stock exchange announcements are:

  • Included on the ‘News Room’ section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com as soon as practicable following confirmation of receipt by the Australian and New Zealand stock exchanges. Additionally, interested parties can register for an email alert service which notifies them of new announcements;

    • Distributed to major wire services; and
  • Emailed to major media and investor organisations.

  • A reasonable person would expect that information to have a material effect on the Lend Lease share price or value.

Accompanying the Notice is a proxy form, instructions on completion and lodgement, and a postage paid, return addressed envelope to encourage maximum shareholder participation. The Notice also invites shareholders to submit questions ahead of the Meeting by using an online facility available through the Company’s share registry.

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 business 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 Health, Safety and Risk. 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.

Risk Management Reporting

Lend Lease uses an online risk matrix to report and monitor risks in the following categories:

  • Financial;

  • Legal/Regulatory;

  • Health and Safety;

  • Performance;

  • Environment & Community;

  • People;

  • Property/Business Continuity; and

  • Information Technology.

The categorisation drives functional accountability for managing the primary cause or consequence of the risk, noting that all risks may impact our reputation.

The risk matrix defines risk tolerance of Lend Lease by setting thresholds for impact and likelihood and defining the material business risks required to be reported to the Board.

Key Risk Management Practices

Operational businesses are responsible for risk management outcomes and 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. Project control groups (PCGs) are set up as required to focus attention on particular risks, some of the risk PCGs focused attention on:

  • Residential sales performance;

  • Construction project pipeline and delivery;

  • Global minimum safety requirements;

  • Counterparty credit exposures; and

  • Overhead cost structure.

34

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

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 2009:

– The Consolidated Entity’s Financial Report presents a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Consolidated Entity’s financial condition and operational results and complies with relevant accounting standards.

With regard to risk management and internal compliance and control systems of the Consolidated Entity, the statements made with respect to the integrity of the Consolidated Entity’s Financial Report are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and the system is operating effectively in all material respects.

Since 30 June 2009, 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 Selection, Appointment and Rotation

The Risk Management and Audit Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board as to the selection, 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

The Board has implemented a 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 adviser or investment banking services;

  • Work that is remunerated through a ‘success fee’ structure;

  • 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 services 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.

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.

9 Trading in Lend Lease Shares

Lend Lease has a Securities Trading Policy to assist Directors, senior executives 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.

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 [407 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

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 also sets the practices required to maintain confidence in the Company’s integrity, and to take into account the expectations of all stakeholders and the Group’s legal obligations. The Code of Conduct has been endorsed by the Board and applies to the Directors and every employee across the Group.

The issues covered by the Code of Conduct set specific standards of behaviour which require that employees must:

  • Be aware of conflicts, actual or perceived;

  • Not participate in insider trading;

  • Not make unauthorised gains or payments;

  • Only use company assets as authorised;

  • Not disclose confidential information;

  • Ensure everyone has an equal opportunity;

  • Compete fairly;

  • Ensure sustainable outcomes for our stakeholders before making any business decisions;

  • Not make unauthorised public statements;

  • Not make political donations on behalf of Lend Lease;

  • Be familiar with the business unit policies and procedures that relate to our work; and

  • Help each other and work collaboratively.

Employees are encouraged to take action when faced with behaviour which seems to depart from the Code. The Code of Conduct Breach Reporting Policy (described below at 10.3) details the confidentiality, anonymity and other protections available to the person reporting subject behaviour.

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 or risk 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 Code of Conduct Breach Reporting Policy

The Code of Conduct is supported by a Code of Conduct Breach Reporting Policy. This Policy provides a mechanism for raising concerns about unethical or illegal business conduct, including behaviour which may not accord with our Core Values or Code of Conduct, and offers certain protections to anyone who reports concerns in good faith.

This Policy applies to all officers, employees and contractors of the Lend Lease Group in all jurisdictions where the Group operates. In some instances, Group companies in each jurisdiction also have their own more detailed reporting procedures which supplement this Policy and take into account local protected disclosure and other laws.

Concerns are reported either to management, human resources, legal or the compliance department, or via an email hotline. A thorough investigation and remedial action is taken where required.

The action taken to investigate disclosures under this Policy depends on the particular circumstances. Generally, disclosures made under this Policy are treated confidentially.

If an individual’s identity is disclosed during the investigation process, the individual will not be disadvantaged in their employment by any Group company. Lend Lease does not tolerate the taking of detrimental action against individuals who make a disclosure under this Policy in reprisal for making the disclosure.

10.4 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 with the Company Secretary any matters that may give rise to a conflict of interest.

10.5 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/(loss) after tax is after adjusting for the loss attributable to minority interests of A$12.3 million (June 2008: A$6.4 million loss after tax). 2 June 2008 operating profit after tax has been adjusted to A$435.9 million (statutory profit has been adjusted to A$254.2 million) to reflect the impact of adopting AASB Interpretation 12 Service Concession Arrangements for the first time this year. The before and after tax effect of the adjustment for the year ended June 2008 is an A$11.2 million loss. All ratios have been restated based on the revised results.

3 Represents unrealised revaluations on property investments that are consolidated or accounted for using the equity method in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The difficult economic environment experienced in the first half of the financial year continued to impact the Group in the six months ended 30 June 2009. As a result, the Group has seen a significant slowdown in all of its key markets and geographies. The market turbulence has also led to a large decline in property asset values. This resulted in a write-down in the carrying value of the Group’s tangible and intangible assets of A$656.0 million after tax and A$252.9 million after tax respectively. In response to slowing momentum, the Group has implemented a number of cost reduction initiatives which have resulted in one-off implementation costs of A$83.9 million after tax. The Group recognised a net gain from the curtailment of the Bovis UK pension scheme of A$31.7 million after tax.

As a result of the above non operating adjustments, the Group reports a statutory loss after tax of A$653.6 million for the year ended 30 June 2009. The Group continues to remain focused on key financial fundamentals such as strong cash management and maintaining liquidity as well as significant cost reductions to ensure its cost base aligns with market conditions.

The Group remains in a strong financial position with cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2009 of A$1,120.8 million (June 2008: A$842.8 million), net debt (including other non current financial liabilities) of A$195.8 million (June 2008: A$287.3 million) and low gearing (net debt to total tangible assets, less cash) of 2.9% (June 2008: 4.1%).

During the year, the Group completed the acquisition of a 43.2% stake in Lend Lease Primelife Limited (LLP) (previously known as Babcock & Brown Communities Group) and the associated management rights, expanding the Group’s interest in the fast growing retirement sector.

Statutory Profit/(Loss) After Tax

The Group has reported a statutory loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2009 of A$653.6 million after recognising the following non operating adjustments:

  • A reduction in the carrying value of inventory of A$188.3 million after tax principally relating to the Communities businesses in Australia, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US) due to adverse trading conditions;

  • The impairment of the carrying value of the goodwill in Crosby Lend Lease (Crosby) of A$172.4 million after tax and the Australian Communities business of A$80.5 million after tax due to a deterioration in residential markets;

  • – Other carrying value adjustments of A$204.7 million after tax which includes a reduction in the carrying value of the Group’s interests in both UK and Australian retail and communities projects, investment management funds in Australia and a loss of A$33.9 million after tax on the Group’s exposure to the FKP Property Group;

  • Unrealised property investment revaluation losses on retail investments of A$263.0 million after tax due to the expansion of capitalisation rates in all property markets, most significantly in the UK and US;

  • In response to slowing market conditions, cost savings initiatives have been implemented which resulted in one-off implementation costs of A$83.9 million after tax;

  • The curtailment of the Bovis UK pension scheme has resulted in a net gain of A$31.7 million after tax.

MD&A continued

Overview continued

Operating Profit After Tax

Operating profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2009 decreased by 29% to A$307.5 million. Operating profit after tax was positively impacted by foreign exchange movements of A$17.1 million. The Retail business operating profit after tax, although lower than the prior year, has remained relatively robust primarily due to a comparably stable income flow from the Bluewater and King of Prussia Shopping Centres.

The Communities business operating profit after tax decreased due to a decline in residential sales and settlement volumes in both the UK and Australia due to weak trading conditions. The result for Asia Pacific Communities includes the sale of the Group’s interest in seven retirement villages and an aged care facility to LLP.

The increase in operating profit after tax for the PPP business is mainly attributable to the UK PPP business, where operating profit after tax increased due to a negative prior year adjustment as a result of adopting AASB Interpretation 12 Service Concession Arrangements for the first time this year. No Actus Lend Lease (Actus) projects reached financial close during the year.

The contribution from Investment Management was lower as the prior year included a profit after tax of A$40.1 million from the sale of a proportion of the Group’s interest in Australian Prime Property Funds (APPF) and a tax exempt dividend of A$47.9 million from the Group’s interest in the adviser company to Lend Lease Global Properties, SICAF (Global Fund) in relation to incentive fees.

Project Management and Construction operating profit after tax increased, reflecting the strong performance of the Australian business and improved performance in the UK.

Group Services includes costs related to Lend Lease Ventures, which is focused on the commercialisation of green energy opportunities and associated property related activities, and increased costs related to the Group’s captive insurance vehicle.

Group Treasury profit after tax decreased due to higher interest costs driven by the £350.0 million UK syndicated bank facility being fully drawn down for part of the year, lower interest rates on cash deposits and the hedge cost on current year profits.

1 The ratios for the year ended June 2008 have been adjusted for the impact of adopting AASB Interpretation 12 Service Concession Arrangements for the first time.

2 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. 3 ROE is calculated based on statutory profit/(loss) after tax and average equity.

Dividends

A final 100% franked dividend of 16 cents per share will be paid on 25 September 2009 (June 2008: 34 cents per share 45% franked). This represents a payout ratio of 61% of operating profit after tax for the full year ended 30 June 2009.

3 Calculated as net debt divided by total tangible assets, less cash.

The Group’s net debt at 30 June 2009 was A$195.8 million, including other non current financial liabilities of A$191.6 million. The Group’s gearing remains low and interest coverage at 5.2 times is in line with the Group’s internal target.

The Group is in a strong liquidity position with cash and cash equivalents of A$1,120.8 million at 30 June 2009. In addition, the Group had undrawn committed bank facilities of A$612.0 million.

The average maturity of Lend Lease’s drawn debt at 30 June 2009 was eight years, with the earliest maturity date being November 2010.

At 30 June 2009, the mix of borrowings, including other non current financial liabilities, was 76% at fixed rates and 24% at floating rates.

On 11 February 2009, Lend Lease issued 50 million new shares via an institutional placement which raised A$302.5 million before costs associated with the placement.

The Group continues to maintain an investment-grade credit rating.

Operating cash inflows of A$382.2 million represent the underlying cash flows from the Group’s operating businesses net of continued investment in property developments. This is a significant increase in the current year as the prior year also included the receipt of the tax refund and associated interest from the resolution of the tax dispute with the Australian Taxation Office.

Investing cash outflows of A$473.9 million includes the acquisition of the Group’s further stake in LLP, the associated management rights and the related convertible notes.

Financing cash inflows of A$356.0 million principally relates to the proceeds from the share issue of A$302.5 million and the partial drawdown of the £350 million syndicated bank facility offset against dividend payments of A$188.3 million.

2 There are no gains or losses on the disposal or redemption of available for sale financial assets included in Lend Lease’s share of income for the year ended 30 June 2009 (June 2008: A$67.0 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$2.0 billion at 30 June 2009. The market value of investments declined by A$650.6 million due to a weakening of capitalisation rates in all regions. This decline is net of positive foreign exchange movements of A$90.8 million.

During the year, the Group’s interest in property investments generated investment income EBITDA of A$119.8 million (June 2008: A$121.4 million), excluding gains on the disposal or redemption of available for sale financial assets.

Retail

The independent market value of 100% of Bluewater at 30 June 2009 decreased by 30% to £1,330.0 million (A$2,714.3 million). The value of Lend Lease’s 30% direct interest decreased by A$374.5 million to A$814.3 million, net of foreign exchange movements. As Bluewater is held as inventory, the asset is recorded at cost in the financial statements, which at 30 June 2009 was A$506.2 million (June 2008: A$520.7 million).

The value of Lend Lease’s 50% interest in King of Prussia decreased by 14% to US$345.9 million (June 2008: US$400.6 million), although the Australian dollar equivalent value increased due to a positive foreign exchange movement. Other retail investments have decreased by A$183.2 million principally due to a decline in the market value of investments as a result of an expansion in capitalisation rates.

Investment Management

Other retail investments decreased by A$72.8 million to A$432.7 million principally due to a decrease in the market value of the Group’s UK investment in Lend Lease Overgate Partnership and Lend Lease Retail Partnership.

Other investments decreased by A$25.4 million principally due to a decrease in the market value of the Group’s UK investments.

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

Retail – Asia Pacific

Operating profit after tax increased by A$7.2 million to A$8.9 million due to increased fees from assets under management and reduced overheads. In Asia Pacific, Lend Lease holds a direct ownership interest in two development opportunities and two operating retail centres. The business is currently undertaking master-planning and development management of six centres in Australia and one in Singapore with an estimated gross development cost of A$2.8 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 602,700 square metres (sqm).

Key trading events in the year include:

  • Construction and pre-leasing progressing at the 313@somerset retail development. The development is expected to commence trading in late 2009. Lend Lease has a 25% direct ownership interest in the development, with the remaining 75% held by Lend Lease Asian Retail Investment Fund (ARIF), in which Lend Lease holds a 10.1% interest;

  • Construction and pre-leasing progressing at the 420 George Street retail and commercial development in the Sydney central business district. APPF Retail holds a 25% interest in the retail development and APPF Commercial 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;

  • Completion of the redevelopment of PoMo (formerly Paradiz Centre), a retail and commercial building in Singapore. Lend Lease has a 25% direct ownership interest in the asset;

  • Construction and pre-leasing commencing on the Caroline Springs retail development in western Melbourne. The Lend Lease Core Plus Fund (LLCPF) holds a 50% interest in the retail development and APPF Retail holds the remaining 50% interest. Completion of this development is expected in late 2009;

  • Lend Lease manages all phases of these development projects including development, leasing, project management, design and construction and, on completion, asset and property management.

Retail – Europe

Operating profit after tax of A$24.0 million declined by A$18.3 million compared with the prior year, as a result of difficult trading conditions in the UK that resulted in a decrease in retail income and increased maintenance costs.

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 of these centres with an estimated gross development cost of A$1.9 billion. Given current economic conditions, a review of the development pipeline had been conducted and, where appropriate, capital expenditure has been curtailed or deferred. The business also carries out the asset management of five centres with a total gross lettable area of 336,700 sqm.

Key trading events in the year include:

  • The Preston Tithebarn Development, a 50% joint venture with Grosvenor Estates, secured a resolution to grant planning permission on 14 July 2009. The decision will be referred to Central Government to consider whether to call-in the application for public inquiry. A decision on a call-in is expected in 2009. In addition to securing John Lewis as a key scheme anchor, agreements to lease were signed with Marks & Spencer and cinema operator, Cineworld. Given current market conditions, expenditure has been significantly curtailed;

  • As already noted, there was a significant decline in the carrying value of the Group’s investments in retail assets due to higher capitalisation rates across the portfolio.

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 operating income in US dollar terms is in line with the prior year.

The value of Lend Lease’s 50% interest in King of Prussia decreased by 14% to US$345.9 million (June 2008: US$400.6 million), principally due to an increase in capitalisation rates, although the Australian dollar equivalent value increased due to a positive foreign exchange movement.

Communities

Overview of Business

The Communities business is involved in the development of large scale master-planned urban communities, inner city apartments and senior living. 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

The key financial results for the Communities business are summarised below.

Americas 0.4 (1.6) (5.7) (1.2) (3.5)
Total operating 586.4 969.5 70.0 124.0 88.3 100.3

Total operating profit after tax decreased by A$12.0 million due to a significant decline in residential sales and settlement volumes as a result of weak trading conditions in both the UK and Australia compared to the prior year. The Asia Pacific Communities business includes the profit from the sale of its interest in seven retirement villages and an aged care facility to LLP for a consideration of A$133.4 million.

As a result of the adverse trading conditions across the Australian and UK markets, the Communities business has reduced the carrying value of its inventory and other assets and has written off the goodwill in relation to the Crosby and Australian Communities businesses. These adjustments are excluded from operating profit after tax but are included in the Group’s statutory loss after tax.

The Communities business has a residential backlog of 102,040 units and a total commercial backlog of 4.7 million sqm.

Key trading events in the year include:

  • Completing the acquisition of a 43.2% stake in LLP, the associated management rights and related convertible notes. As part of the transaction, the Group sold its interest in seven mature retirement villages and an aged care facility for a consideration of A$133.4 million;

  • The total number of residential land lots settled decreased by 22% to 2,419 units as weaker trading conditions have been experienced, particularly in New South Wales, resulting in reduced revenues;

  • The average sales price per residential land lot increased by 6% from A$162,700 to A$171,700, which reflects strong price growth in Victoria and the Forde project in the ACT;

  • Residential built-form units settled increased by 69 units to 352 units. The current year includes built-form settlements on the Mosaic building at Victoria Harbour, Melbourne; Varsity Lakes, Queensland; Rouse Hill, Sydney; the evolve and Stonecutters buildings at Jacksons Landing, Sydney and the final settlements at Newington in Sydney;

  • The average sales price per residential built-form unit increased by 31% from A$731,000 to A$960,000, which reflects the significant proportion of high value evolve and Stonecutters apartments at Jacksons Landing being sold in the year;

  • The gross sales value of commercial projects of A$233.1 million was marginally above prior year and included the sale by the Group of seven retirement villages and an aged care facility to LLP for A$133.4 million;

  • The number of units pre-sold at 30 June 2009 of 1,072 decreased by 32% on the prior year due to weaker trading conditions;

  • The acquisition of the Springbank Rise (formerly Casey 2) project in Canberra in partnership with Macquarie Real Estate Equity Fund No. 6, which added 1,100 zoned lots to backlog and will commence trading in 2010;

  • Securing Blake’s Crossing, an 88-hectare site in South Australia, which added 1,390 residential lots to zoned backlog and achieved its first settlements in June 2009;

  • Commencing development of the Darling Walk site, a 64,000 sqm commercial project at Darling Harbour, Sydney, under leasehold from the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, with APPF Commercial and an institutional investor as the 50/50 joint owners of the 99-year lease. Lend Lease provides development, design and construction services;

  • Selected as preferred partner for the major regeneration of the RNA Showgrounds precinct in Brisbane. The project will be staged over 15 years with a projected value of A$2.5 billion.

Communities – Europe has 27 projects: the three London-based redevelopment projects at Greenwich, Stratford and Elephant and Castle and 24 Crosby projects. The Crosby projects are predominantly mid to high rise apartment developments on brownfield urban regeneration sites. The product lines of the UK business are: residential land lots; residential built-form (including houses, terraces and apartments); and commercial (including retail, office, light industrial and social infrastructure). Key trading events in the year include:

  • Operating profit after tax has decreased by A$31.5 million to a loss after tax of A$10.4 million;

  • – The gross sales value of units settled decreased by A$268.3 million and the number of units settled decreased by 525 over the year. Gross sales value of pre-sales declined to A$28.5 million reflecting the slowdown in the UK market. There were no sales of commercial units 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. An office development with a substantial pre-let to Transport for London for 19,400 sqm was completed in July 2009. The Ravensbourne College of Design & Communications is also now under construction;

  • In August 2008, Lend Lease was appointed as Development and Construction Manager for the first phase of Stratford City, a mixed-use development on 54 hectares of land with an existing planning consent of 9.4 million square feet. This first phase involves building the Athletes’ Village for the London 2012 Olympic

and Paralympic Games for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA). Over the past two years, Lend Lease has been in negotiations with the ODA and London and Continental Railways on the terms of the development and financing of the whole of Stratford City. These negotiations ended in May 2009 when the ODA decided to fund the project itself, having assessed Lend Lease’s financial offer. Lend Lease continues to act as Development and Construction Manager; – In July 2007, Lend Lease was appointed as preferred bidder for the development of land at Elephant and Castle. Lend Lease is in negotiations with the London Borough of Southwark to agree a Regeneration Agreement for the building of a mixed-use development of 2,700 homes and retail and office space. In May 2008, Lend Lease entered into an exclusivity agreement with Southwark Council, the purpose of which was to provide Lend Lease with exclusive partner status while the extent of the decline in the UK market was evaluated. The agreement meant that the Council would not engage with alternative developers on this regeneration project. Continued market uncertainty resulted in the agreement being further extended and the Council’s Executive agreed on 21 July 2009 to continue with the exclusivity deal. To date, there has been no significant expenditure on this development;

  • As announced at the half year the carrying value of inventory and goodwill relating to Crosby was written down by A$100.4 million and A$172.4 million respectively. The write-downs are excluded from operating profit but are included in the Group’s statutory loss for the year.

1 Revenue excludes proceeds received from the sale of investments, redemption of available for sale financial assets and Lend Lease’s share of profits from associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.

2 Represents Lend Lease’s share of income from investments net of direct expenses and allocated overhead, excluding property investment revaluations. There are no gains or losses on the disposal or redemption of available for sale financial assets in the year ended 30 June 2009 (June 2008: EBITDA and profit after tax included a gain of A$67.0 million and A$59.4 million respectively).

Unrealised property investment losses in relation to the Group’s ownership interests in property investments held indirectly through investments in Lend Lease managed funds are excluded from operating profit but are included in the Group’s statutory loss after tax.

Key trading events in the year include:

Asia Pacific

  • Profit after tax from Funds Management increased by A$2.1 million to A$13.3 million due to strong performance from both the Australian and Singapore platforms in a challenging market environment and reduced overheads;

  • – Profit after tax from Investment Income decreased by A$46.8 million to A$13.8 million as the prior year included the sale of a proportion of the Group’s investment in APPF for a profit after tax of A$40.1 million and a profit contribution from Asia Pacific Investment Company Limited of A$6.1 million, on the sale of the fund’s last remaining asset;

Europe

  • Profit after tax from Funds Management decreased by A$44.7 million to a loss of A$2.8 million this year as the prior year included the receipt of a tax exempt dividend of A$47.9 million from the Group’s interest in the adviser company to the Global Fund in relation to incentive fees;

  • Profit after tax from Investment Income decreased by A$14.1 million to A$5.9 million due to the prior year including profit distributions on the Group’s investment in the Global Fund of A$9.2 million after tax and profit on the sale of a proportion of the Group’s investment in Cohen & Steers, SICAV of A$3.6 million after tax.

Americas

The loss after tax relates to the continued wind-up of the residual US Real Estate Investment business.

  • In Australia, APPF Retail and APPF Industrial were the top two performing funds in the Mercer Unlisted Property Funds Index based on the gross one year return in the 12-month period ended 30 June 2009.

1 Foreign exchange movement arising from translating opening FUM in local currency between June 2009 and June 2008.

2 FUM represents the gross market value of real estate and other related assets managed on behalf of investors.

FUM increased by A$0.6 billion to A$9.9 billion during the year. Asia Pacific FUM increased by A$1.4 billion primarily due to the acquisition of the LLP management rights, while Europe FUM decreased by A$0.8 billion due to net revaluation decreases in underlying asset values.

The movements in FUM in the year were:

Asia Pacific

  • Foreign exchange movements added A$0.2 billion due to the restatement of opening FUM relating to Singapore at June 2009 exchange rates;

  • The acquisition of the LLP management rights added A$1.5 billion in Australian and New Zealand based assets to FUM;

  • The LLCPF secured acquisition and capital expenditure growth of A$0.2 billion;

  • The APPF series of funds and ARIF completed capital expenditure of A$0.3 billion and A$0.1 billion respectively;

  • The APPF series of funds disposed of A$0.2 billion of property assets;

  • FUM declined by A$0.7 billion as a result of net revaluation decreases on underlying asset values due to underlying real estate conditions.

Europe

  • FUM declined by A$0.8 billion as a result of net revaluation decreases on underlying asset values due to economic conditions in the UK.

1 June 2008 operating profit after tax of A$150.0 million has been adjusted from an operating profit after tax of A$147.2 million to reflect the impact of adopting AASB Interpretation 12 Service Concession Arrangements for the first time this year.

Project Management and Construction profit after tax was A$168.9 million, an increase of A$18.9 million over the prior year. Profit after tax for the year was positively impacted by foreign exchange movements of A$8.7 million.

Total revenue remained broadly in line with the prior year, including positive foreign exchange movements of A$1.1 billion.

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

Key trading events in the year include:

Asia Pacific

  • The Asia Pacific profit after tax of A$94.7 million increased by A$25.7 million compared with the prior year. Key contributions to GPM in Australia included the ANZ Head Office building in Melbourne, Sydney Water Desalination Pipeline, and Top Ryde shopping centre development in Sydney. In Asia, the telecommunications rollout in Japan, 313@somerset retail development and REC solar panel plant in Singapore were key contributors during the year.

Americas

  • Profit after tax for the Americas business of A$35.2 million is an A$24.5 million decrease on the prior year, including a positive foreign exchange movement of A$6.6 million. Profit after tax was negatively impacted by costs relating to the fire at the former Deutsche Bank project in New York. Key contributions to GPM included the 155 N. Wacker Drive office development in Chicago, the 353 N. Clark office building project in Chicago and the Lenbrook high rise senior living project in Atlanta.

Europe

  • The European profit after tax of A$39.0 million increased by A$17.7 million compared to the prior year. Performance improved although the business continues to be impacted by the workout of UK projects where loss provisions were taken in prior years. Key contributions to GPM included the Athletes’ Village project for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Peel Media City mixed-use project in Gloucester, Central Saint Giles new office development in London and the BP Global Alliance project across Europe.

Profitability Ratio

The profitability ratio (defined as EBITDA divided by realised GPM) increased from 34% to 39%, principally due to the higher profit contribution in Europe where the ratio increased from 19% to 30% this year and in Asia Pacific where the ratio increased by 11% to 61% (June 2008: 50%). In the Americas the profitability ratio decreased by 9% to 25% (June 2008: 34%) primarily due to costs relating to the fire at the former Deutsche Bank project in New York.

1 Although Backlog GPM is realised 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$101.1 million (June 2008: US$213.0 million) and the European Backlog GPM was £107.2 million (June 2008: £121.3 million).

New Work Secured is the total project GPM to be earned from projects secured during the year, net of margin movements.

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 2009 was impacted by a positive foreign exchange movement of A$54.8 million. The decrease in Backlog GPM and New Work Secured GPM in 2009 is primarily due to the downturn in economic conditions, particularly in the Americas and Europe. The increase in Asia Pacific includes significant government projects secured in Australia, namely, Gold Coast University Hospital, two NSW Schools Building Education Revolution projects, Brisbane Supreme Court, Sydney Water Capital Works program, and a new office build project for the Federal Government.

As at 30 June 2009, 58% of Bovis Lend Lease Backlog GPM is projected to be realised in the year to June 2010. The proportion of Bovis Lend Lease secured Backlog GPM to be realised beyond 12 months of 42% is consistent with the prior year (June 2008: 43%).

Group Services

Group Services costs after tax increased by A$8.8 million primarily due to costs in relation to Lend Lease Ventures, which is focused on the commercialisation of green energy opportunities and associated property related activities, and additional costs in the Group’s captive insurance vehicle.

Group Treasury

Group Treasury manages the Group’s liquidity, foreign exchange exposures, interest rate risk and debt. The result for the year is detailed in the table below.

Interest Revenue and Expenses

  • Interest revenue remained relatively flat compared with the previous year. The interest rate on invested cash averaged 3.4% per annum for the year (June 2008: 6.1%);

  • Interest expense and borrowing costs before tax increased by A$18.4 million compared with the previous year. This is mainly due to the Group’s £350.0 million syndicated bank facility being fully drawn for part of the year.

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 2009, the Group was in a strong liquidity position with cash and cash equivalents of A$1,120.8 million and undrawn committed bank facilities of A$612.0 million. The Group’s net debt position as at 30 June 2009 was A$195.8 million, this includes other non current financial liabilities of A$191.6 million;

  • The average maturity of Lend Lease’s drawn debt at 30 June 2009 was eight years, with the earliest maturity date being November 2010;

    • At 30 June 2009, the mix of borrowings, including other non current financial liabilities, was 76% at fixed rates and 24% 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 increased by A$126.3 million, primarily due to movements in UK, US and Singapore exchange rates;

  • The A$12.8 million after tax net hedge cost primarily relates to the hedging of a proportion of current year US dollar profits.

1 Represents Lend Lease’s share of income before tax from investments net of direct expenses and allocated overhead, excluding property investment revaluations.

2 Market value is based on independent valuations and is net of project-specific debt.

3 Lend Lease owns 25% of the 313@somerset retail development directly, with the remaining 75% held by Lend Lease Asian Retail Investment Fund (ARIF) in which Lend Lease holds a 10.1% interest (reported in Investment Management).

4 The market value of UK assets has been translated at A$1 = £0.49 (June 2008: A$1 = £0.48) and the Lend Lease share of income at A$1 = £0.47 (June 2008: A$1 = £0.45).

5 The independent market value at 30 June 2009 of 100% of Bluewater was £1,330.0 million (A$2,714.3 million). Bluewater is treated as inventory in the financial statements and is therefore reflected at cost, which at 30 June 2009 was A$506.2 million.

6 The market value of the Warrington Retail Limited Partnership net assets were below zero at 30 June 2009 and as a result the Lend Lease’s investment has been written down to nil.

7 The Chelmsford Meadows Unit Trust is consolidated in the financial statements, with 100% of the underlying property asset being recognised as an investment property at a book value of A$109.6 million.

8 The market value of USA assets has been translated at A$1 = US$0.81 (June 2008: A$1 = US$0.95) and the Lend Lease share of income at A$1 = US$0.73 (June 2008: A$1 = US$0.90).

d. Significant Changes in State of Affairs There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of Lend Lease.

e. Events 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:

Acquisition of Properties from Prime Retirement and Aged Care Property Trust (Prime Trust)

On 13 August 2009, Lend Lease entered into agreements to purchase nine Aged Care facilities and four Retirement Villages from Prime Trust for a total consideration of A$76.7 million (excluding transaction costs). Settlement of four of the properties is subject to satisfaction of a number of conditions.

The Aged Care facilities and Retirement Villages will continue to be leased and managed by Lend Lease Primelife Limited following the change in ownership.

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, in particular relating to real estate development, project and construction management and asset management. Traditionally these regulations have related to environmental compliance aspects including noise and dust control, solid waste management and discharge into waterways. More recently, however, the Group is impacted by energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions legislation which require disclosure and performance reporting of activities under its operational and/or financial control.

78

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

To respond to environmental regulatory risks, the Group requires each of its businesses to operate an integrated Environment, Health and Safety Management System. This framework ensures environmental risks associated with the Group’s operations or activities are managed via legal registers, risk assessment protocols, environmental management plans, trained environmental managers, routine inspections and audits. The Sustainability Committee receives environmental compliance reports on a quarterly basis regarding any significant environmental incidents 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 2009 Sustainability Report.

Key Remuneration Changes for 2009

Policy decisions and key changes with respect to Non Executive Director and Executive remuneration have been made in the current period.

In addition to the changes discussed in this section, the Committee recognises changes to Non Executive Director and Executive remuneration arrangements may be necessary in the coming year and beyond. In particular, the announcements of the Australian Government on 1 July 2009 relating to the taxation of equity remuneration and the Productivity Commission inquiry into the regulatory framework around Executive remuneration will most likely lead to remuneration arrangement refinements for Directors, Executives and employees at Lend Lease.

Key Changes in Respect to Non Executive Directors’ Remuneration

The maximum aggregate fees which may be paid to Directors in any year pursuant to Rule 6.3(a) of the Constitution was increased from A$1,700,000 (resolved at 2005 Annual General Meeting) to

A$2,500,000 by resolution at the 2008 Annual General Meeting. The actual fees paid to Directors (as distinct from the aggregate limit for all fees approved by shareholders) were increased effective 1 January 2009, the first change to actual fees paid to directors since 1 July 2006. Further detail on actual fees paid to Directors is contained on page 82 of this Report.

Key Changes in Respect of Executive and Employee Remuneration Fixed remuneration

In light of economic conditions and Company performance, the Group has implemented a Group-wide freeze on fixed remuneration increases for incumbents in the same role.

Incentive remuneration

Changes have been made to the Group’s remuneration structure in the current period to ensure continuing alignment between the Group’s long term strategic objectives and the remuneration of Executives. The details of incentive remuneration changes are discussed in the relevant sections.

81

Directors’ Report continued

3. Remuneration Report continued

a. Remuneration Governance continued

Key Changes in Respect of Executive and Employee Remuneration continued Significant changes include:

– STI arrangements have been changed as indicated to shareholders in the 2008 Remuneration Report. The key change is the reweighting of the financial and non-financial elements for STI. For Executive Office and functional head Executives, financial and non-financial components will account for 40% and 60% respectively of STI outcomes. For business unit Chief Executive Officers, financial and non-financial components will account for 60% and 40% respectively of STI outcomes. In order to participate in the STI program, Executives must be assessed as having satisfactory overall performance with respect to Safety, Sustainability, Values, Control and Diversity performance gates.

Reflecting Group performance, the available pool of STI funds has been reduced for performance during the current financial year. As a consequence of the deterioration in market conditions, additional metrics relating to overhead efficiency, capital management and counterparty risk management were introduced for all EMT members and selected executives for the second half of the current financial year to continue to motivate and incentivise Executives.

  • The 2008 LTI award differs from previous LTI awards. The 2008 award changed the vesting

conditions by introducing a retention component (one third of award value) and amending the existing earnings per share component (now one third of award value). The existing Total Shareholder Return component and vesting schedule (now one third of award value) has been retained.

b. Remuneration Policy – Audited

This section of the Report sets out the approach to remuneration for both Non Executive Directors and Executives of the Group.

Remuneration Philosophy — Non Executive Directors

Non Executive Director remuneration arrangements are separate and distinct from Executive structures. This reflects Lend Lease’s commitment to corporate governance best practice.

The Committee reviews and sets remuneration levels of Non Executive Directors in order to be assured that the Group has access to appropriately qualified and skilled directors. The Committee has reviewed the shareholder-approved aggregate fee limit and the level of Board and committee fees. No change to the aggregate fee limit is proposed for the upcoming financial year.

In order to maintain Non Executive Directors’ independence and impartiality, the remuneration of Non Executive Directors does not contain any component related to short term Company performance nor a variable quantum. Directors are impacted by Company performance with respect to personal shareholdings and reward elements (such as retirement benefits) delivered as Lend Lease Corporation shares.

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$160,000 for Board members (30 June 2008: A$140,000).

  • A$600,000 for the Chair of the Board (30 June 2008: A$500,000). This increases to A$640,000 per annum from 1 July 2009.

Current Committee fees per annum effective from

  • 1 January 2009, are:

  • A$36,000 for members of the Risk Management and Audit Committee.

  • A$20,000 for members of the Personnel and Organisation, and Sustainability Committees (30 June 2008: A$15,000).

  • A$44,000 for Chairman of the Risk Management and Audit Committee (30 June 2008: A$35,000).

  • A$36,000 for Chairman of each of the Nomination, Personnel and Organisation and Sustainability Committees (30 June 2008: A$25,000).

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$2,800 each way for travel between four and 10 hours; and

  • A$6,000 each way for travel over 10 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 these 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.

In 2001, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) granted a waiver allowing issues of shares under the plan conditional on no amendment of the plan without shareholder approval, an undertaking for disclosure in the Annual Report of the names of Directors and their ability to participate, together with an explanation of the dilutory effects of any share issues, and disclosure in the Annual Report of the waiver terms.

Allocations are made on 1 January each year based on the weighted average price of Lend Lease Corporation shares traded on the ASX during the five business days prior to 1 January each year. Annual issues of shares under the plan are capped at 0.01% of the Company’s issued capital under the terms of the approving shareholder resolution. Earlier this year, shares totalling an additional 0.0004% of the then issued capital were inadvertently issued under the plan but this has been rectified. From inception in 2001, shares issued under the plan have totalled only 0.04% of current issued share capital, and the dilutory effect of the plan for shareholders has not been significant.

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$138,520 (30 June 2008: A$120,250).

  • P Goldmark A$144,722 (30 June 2008: A$128,032).

82

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

The Australian Government announced proposed changes to the taxation of equity plans in the May 2009 Commonwealth Budget and made subsequent amendments on 1 July 2009. As a result, the Company is currently reviewing the structure of its equity plans to ensure these arrangements:

  • Meet the commercial objectives of the Company;

  • Do not have adverse tax implications; and

  • Are aligned with the interests of Lend Lease shareholders.

The Government’s proposed changes may impact the Directors’ Retirement Benefit Plan as well as equity plans for Executives and employees.

Remuneration Philosophy — Executives

The purpose of Executive remuneration at Lend Lease is to retain, align and motivate key Executives who have direct impact on Company performance. The philosophy of the Group’s remuneration policy is to reward 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 relevant external comparators in the real estate and related sectors and of companies of similar size, complexity and international scope.

The approach of the Group is to provide a balance of fixed and performance based remuneration. 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, retirement contributions 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.

Each year the Personnel and Organisation Committee sets the key performance indicators (KPI) for Executives. The KPI generally include measures relating to the Group, the business unit, geography or function, and the individual. These 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 Group’s Executive remuneration framework consists of three principal elements:

Component Comprises ‘At risk’?
Fixed Remuneration Base salary, retirement and other benefts No
Short Term Incentive Annual cash with equity related deferral Yes
LongTerm Incentive Cash or share based multiyear reward Yes

‘At risk’ implies an absence of certainty of collection of a particular component of remuneration should agreed-upon performance hurdles or employment conditions not be met during the reporting period.

Fixed Remuneration

The salaries of the Executive Office and members of the EMT 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 direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer, the Committee is assisted in this review by the Chief Executive Officer. For the forthcoming year no salary increases have been proposed for the Executive Office or EMT members in the same roles as previously. This is the second consecutive year in which salary has remained unchanged for individuals in the same roles.

The other elements of fixed remuneration include those typically or legally required to be provided in the geography where the executive is employed. These may include car, medical cover, employee share plan subscriptions, retirement 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 may 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 2009 Financial Year

  • 1 The STI deferred element is due to vest in August 2010.

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.

Future Arrangements

A portion of STI awards is delivered as deferred equity to Executives. Due to the Australian Government announcements regarding the taxation of equity remuneration, the Board may amend the operation of the deferral in the coming period.

The Board has also agreed it intends to limit the aggregate pool of funds available for on target Group performance to 50% of the equivalent pool available in the previous 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. In the 2008 Remuneration Report, the Board committed to reviewing the structure of the LTI awards to be granted in the June 2009 financial year. This has been done.

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.

Performance Shares will vest, subject to performance hurdles being met, after four years. If the performance hurdles are met early, there is an opportunity for vesting to occur at three years (for TSR and EPS) and 3 ½ years (for TSR).

For Retention Shares, vesting occurs at the end of three years so long as the service conditions are fulfilled. No pro rata vesting will be provided upon early departure.

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 currency for overseas participants), which is invested in performance and retention shares over time to deliver value depending on:

  • Whether the Executive remains with the Group – if the executive resigns before vesting, the grant will lapse;

  • The financial performance of the Group; and

  • – The share price performance of Lend Lease Corporation.

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

In addition to the changes discussed in this section, the Committee recognises changes to Executive remuneration arrangements may be necessary in the coming year and beyond. In particular, the announcements of the Australian Government on 1 July 2009 relating to the taxation of equity remuneration and the Productivity Commission inquiry into the regulatory framework around Executive remuneration may lead to refinements to remuneration LTI awards arrangements.

Retention Awards

When the Board believes an Executive or 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 Key Terms and Benefits

S McCann An equity settled award of 141,367 shares valued at A$2.5 million at award date was granted on 22 August 2007 and vests on 30 June 2012. Another equity settled award of 153,126 shares valued at A$1.5 million on award date was granted on 30 September 2008 and vests in three equal tranches on 31 March 2009, 30 September 2009 and 31 March 2010.

The awards will vest if Mr McCann remains in employment with the Group. If Mr McCann’s employment is terminated without cause by the Group prior to the vesting date, the awards will vest on a pro 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.

Retirement Plans

Retirement and 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 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 used to assess whether the financial component of LTI vests and is summarised in the following table.

2009 2008 2007 2006 2005
Statutory proft after tax1 A$m (653.6) 265.4 497.5 415.2 210.7

(Decrease)/increase in closing
shareprice3 A$ (2.54) (8.99) 4.55 1.03 2.68

1 Statutory profit after tax represents profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent. Operating profit after tax excludes unrealised property investment revaluation losses of A$263.0 million after tax (A$60.2 million revaluation losses after tax for the June 2008 financial year), reduction in carrying value of inventory of A$188.3 million (A$121.5 million after tax for the June 2008 financial year), goodwill impairment of A$252.9 million after tax, savings implementation costs of A$83.9 million after tax, other carrying value adjustments of A$204.7 million after tax and gain on Bovis UK pension scheme curtailment of A$31.7 million.

2 June 2005 is based on operating results excluding gains on exiting the REI businesses (A$11.6 million after tax), cost savings implementation expenses (A$47.7 million after tax), Lend Lease/GPT merger and net separation costs (A$19.4 million after tax) and write-off of GPT and Homemaker management agreements (A$44.2 million after tax).

3 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 and 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 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.

Criteria 3: Forfeiture on resignation. Pro rata on other service cessation.

Criteria 4: Forfeiture and resignation. Awarded on other service cessation.

Criteria 5: 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 6: 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).

Criteria 7: EPS for this grant is based on operating profit as defined in the current financial year and weighted average number of ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares).

Criteria 8: Internal performance metrics on achieving specified targets for specific business units.

f. Additional Information – Audited

Additional information in relation to Key Management Personnel’s equity holdings and transactions, loans and other transactions is contained in Note 35. of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 75 to 76 of this Report; the Company Secretary, Mr W Hara; 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$574,315 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.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and non audit services provided during the year are set out below.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Lend Lease Corporation Limited (‘the Company’) is domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2009 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 20 August 2009.

1.1 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.

1.2 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 Note 1.30.

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.

1.3 New Accounting Standards

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the financial year ended 30 June 2009 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 non-controlling (minority) interests. The standard will be applied prospectively from 1 July 2009 and therefore there will be no impact on prior periods.

  • 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. Any changes to disclosure are not expected to affect the financial results of the Group.

  • Revised AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ (September 2007), AASB 2007-8 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101’ and AASB 2007-10 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101’ .

AASB 101, AASB 2007-8 and AASB 2007-10 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.

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

– AASB 2008-8 ‘Amendments to Australian

– 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 require borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset to be capitalised. The standards will be applied prospectively and therefore there will be no impact on prior periods. – Amended 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. The standards will be applied prospectively and therefore there will be no impact on prior periods. – 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.

Accounting Standard – Eligible Hedged Items’ . AASB 2008-8 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. The standard clarifies the effect of using options as hedging instruments and the circumstances in which inflation risk can be hedged. The potential effect of AASB 2008-8 on the Group’s financial results is yet to be determined.

– AASB 2009-2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments’ . AASB 2009-2 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The standard may result in additional disclosures about financial instruments. The possible changes to disclosure are not expected to affect the financial results of the Group. – AASB 2009-4 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Process’ and AASB 2009-5 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Process’ . AASB 2009-4 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009 and AASB 2009-5 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010. The standards amend several AASBs terms of accounting recognition, measurement and disclosure. The potential effect of AASB 2009-4 and AASB 2009-5 on the Group’s financial statements is yet to be determined. –

AASB Interpretation 15 ‘Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate’ .

– AASB 2008-2 ‘ Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations arising on Liquidation’ . AASB 2008-2 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The standard impacts entities with limited lives and entities that have units where the unit holder can put their units back to the entity for cash. Financial instruments may be classified as equity rather than financial liabilities where they are puttable by the holder back to the entity as equity. The potential effect of AASB 2008-2 on the Group’s financial – statements is yet to be determined.

AASB Interpretation 15 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The standard provides guidance on accounting for agreements for the construction of real estate by the seller under AASB 111 ‘ Construction Contracts’ or AASB 118 ‘ Revenue’ and on the timing of revenue recognition. The Group does not expect the standard to have any material effect on the financial results.

AASB Interpretation 16 ‘Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation’ .

AASB Interpretation 16 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 October 2008. The standard clarifies that net investment hedging can only be applied when the net assets of the foreign operation are recognised in the entity’s consolidated financial statements. The Group does not expect the standard to have any material effect on the financial results of the Group.

  • AASB 2008-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project’ and AASB 2008-6 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Process’ . AASB 2008-5 and AASB 2008-6 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and 1 July 2009 respectively. The standards amend several AASBs terms of accounting recognition, measurement and presentation. The potential effect of AASB 2008-5 and AASB 2008-6 on the Group’s financial statements is yet to be determined.

  • – AASB 2008-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate’ . AASB 2008-7 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The standard changes the recognition and measurement of dividend receipts as revenue, even if paid out of pre-acquisition, profits and addresses the accounting for a newly formed parent entity in the separate financial statements. The potential effect of AASB 2008-7 on the Group’s financial results is yet to be determined.

AASB Interpretation 17 ‘Distributions of Non Cash Assets to Owners’ and AASB 2008-13 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB Interpretation 17 Distributions of Non Cash Assets to Owners’ . AASB Interpretation 17 and AASB 2008-13 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. The standards provide guidance in respect of measuring dividends paid by distributing non cash assets to the entity’s shareholders. The potential effect of AASB Interpretation 17 and 2008-13 on the financial statements is yet to be determined.

  • AASB Interpretation 18 ‘Transfers of Assets from Customers’ .

AASB Interpretation 18 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. The standard provides guidance on the accounting for contributions from customers in the form of transfers of property, plant and equipment. The Group does not expect the standard to have any material effect on the financial results.

‘Amendments to IFRS 2 Share Based Payments – Vesting Conditions and Cancellations’ . Amendments to IFRS 2 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The amendments clarify that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only and specifies that all cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment. The Group does not expect the amendments to have any material effect on the financial results.

1.4 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

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.

1.5 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. 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.

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established, usually on declaration of the dividend.

114

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

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.

1.6 Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets, investment properties (see Note 1.8.), inventories (see Note 1.14.) and deferred tax assets (see Note 1.5.) 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 Note 1.12.). 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.

1.7 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 financial assets 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.

1.7 Investments continued

Recognition and Measurement Criteria

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.

1.8 Investment Properties

Investment properties are stated at fair value based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by qualified 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 Note 1.4. When an item of owner occupied property, plant and equipment (see Note 1.15.) 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 immediately in the income statement.

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.

1.9 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 (including assets that form part of the net investment in 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 are 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.

116

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

Refer to Note 1.7. for analysis of recognition and measurement criteria of investments classified and measured at ‘fair value through profit or loss’.

1.10 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.

When the Group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the joint venture (including assets that form part of the net investment in the joint venture), 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 joint venture.

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.

Investments held by Lend Lease Ventures’ investment portfolio are carried at fair value even though the Group may have joint control over those entities. This accounting is permitted by AASB 131 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’ 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.

1.11 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.

1.12 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.

1.13 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.

1.14 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 balance date 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 Note 1.8., 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.

1.15 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 Note 1.6.). 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies continued

1.15 Property, Plant and Equipment continued

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 Note 1.6.).

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.

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 10 years, furniture and fittings over 15 years, motor vehicles over eight years and computer equipment over three years. Land is not depreciated.

1.16 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 programs 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).

1.17 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 Note 1.6.). 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 10 years. The recoverable amount of other 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.

1.18 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, were recognised. In respect of actuarial gains and losses that have arisen 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.

118

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

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.

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

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.

1.19 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 Note 1.23.) and the initial fair value less accumulated amortisation. Fair value is determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach.

1.20 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.

119

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies continued

1.21 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.

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); and

  • 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. 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.

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.

1.22 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.

1.23 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.

120

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

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.

1.24 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. 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.

1.25 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is determined by dividing profit/(loss) 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 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/ (loss) 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.

1.26 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.

1.27 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.

1.28 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.

1.29 Service Concession Arrangements (SCA) (Private Financing Initiatives and Public Private Partnerships)

The Group equity accounts its investment in project companies with SCAs. In the project company holding the SCA AASB Interpretation 12 ‘Service Concession Arrangements’ has been adopted retrospectively for the first time this year. The consideration receivable in respect of construction and services in the operational phase of the SCA is accounted for as a ‘loan or receivable’ and measured at amortised cost. Revenue arising from services provided will be recognised based on the fair value of each service provided. Borrowing costs are now required to be expensed rather than capitalised. Lifecycle costs will now be expensed as incurred rather than provided for as underlying services are provided.

The method by which the Group equity accounts its investment in each project company holding the SCA has not changed.

The retrospective adoption of AASB Interpretation 12 impacted the following:

  • Retained earnings: As at 1 July 2007 A$68.2 million decrease; 12 months ended 30 June 2008 A$11.2 million decrease;

  • Hedging reserve: As at 1 July 2007 A$15.3 million increase; 30 June 2008 A$8.7 million decrease; Movements attributable to effective cash flow hedges taken to equity (net of tax) and the effect of foreign exchange rates for 12 months ended 30 June 2008 have been adjusted to A$(12.6) million and A$0.4 million respectively;

  • Foreign currency translation reserve: As at 1 July 2007 A$0.1 million decrease; 30 June 2008 A$10.3 million increase;

  • Movements attributable to the translation and hedging of foreign operations for 12 months ended 30 June 2008 have been adjusted to A$(102.0) million;

  • Investments accounted for using the equity method: As at 1 July 2007 A$6.7 million decrease; 30 June 2008 A$18.1 million increase;

  • Non current loans and receivables: As at 1 July 2007 A$26.4 million decrease; 30 June 2008 A$30.4 million decrease;

  • Current trade and other payables: As at 1 July 2007 A$nil impact; 30 June 2008 A$10.3 million increase;

121

  • Non current trade and other payables: As at 1 July 2007 A$19.9 million increase; 30 June 2008 A$13.0 million decrease; and

  • Investment commitments: As at 1 July 2007 A$19.9 million decrease; 30 June 2008 A$nil impact.

Recent industry interpretations relating to initial recognition of deferred tax liabilities on SCAs has resulted in the restatement of the impacts of AASB Interpretation 12 disclosed in the 31 December 2008 Half Year Consolidated Financial Report.

The impact on the Group’s basic and diluted earnings per share for shares on issue was an increase 0.9 cents for the year ended 30 June 2009 (June 2008: decrease 2.8 cents) and earnings per share for shares excluding treasury shares was an increase 0.9 cents for the year ended 30 June 2009 (30 June 2008: decrease 3.0 cents).

1.30 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 15a. ‘Goodwill’ contains information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to goodwill impairment.

Impairment of Goodwill and Management Agreements

The Group assesses whether goodwill is impaired at least annually in accordance with Note 1.6. 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 is assessed annually in accordance with Note 1.17.

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 Notes 1.8. and 1.14. 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 16g. and 23g. ‘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 1.18. 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 should be consolidated by the Group.

Dividend Franking

The final dividend of 16 cents per share declared since 30 June 2009 will be 100% franked. The interim dividend paid on 1 April 2009 (25 cents per share) was 60% franked.

The dividend franking account balance at 30 June 2009 is A$98.7 million based on a 30% tax rate (30 June 2008: A$86.4 million). This is calculated after adjusting for franking credits which will arise from the payment of income tax provided in the financial statements and tax losses utilised in the current financial year. It excludes the A$31.4 million (June 2008: A$26.3 million) franking debit impact of the proposed dividend of A$73.2 million (June 2008: A$136.4 million).

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

The credit quality of all loans and receivables, including those neither past due nor impaired, is assessed and monitored on an ongoing basis.

The increase in the impairment provision during the financial year is a result of deteriorating economic and market conditions which the Group considers will affect the credit worthiness of certain entities. The impairment provision relates to specific loans and receivables that have been identified as being impaired, including related party loans where the Group’s interest in a development was via an investment accounted for using the equity method.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2009, there were no financial assets renegotiated (30 June 2008: A$76.5 million).

  • 2 June 2008 has been adjusted to reflect the impact of adopting for the first time AASB Interpretation 12 ‘Service Concession Arrangements’ (refer Note 1.29. ‘Service Concession Arrangements’).

3 The security price of LLP as at 30 June 2009, as quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange, was 9.2 cents. This equates to a market value of A$38.4 million for Lend Lease’s 43.2% interest in LLP. The carrying value of Lend Lease’s interest of A$196.8 million is considered recoverable on a value in use basis after considering the following: i The valuation of LLP’s net assets (as reflected in their financial report as at 30 June 2009) of 54.7 cents per security. ii Reviewing the appropriateness of the methodology to determine the valuations adopted by LLP and the level of support through independent valuations. iii In addition, Lend Lease carried out a seperate valuation of LLP using the following principles:

– Retirement villages: pre tax discount rate of 13.0% to 13.25%, growth rate of 3.75% to 4.0% per annum, average length of stay of six to 10 years.

– Aged care: the valuation of aged care was supported by recent transactions of the average price per bed licence.

4 Joint venture losses recognised during the year have been primarily applied as an impairment against loan stock interests held in these joint ventures. Refer Note 9. ‘Loans and Receivables’.

5 Lend Lease provides service concession arrangements, originating through PPPs in the areas of healthcare, education, waste and government facilities. These arrangements provide facilities management and maintenance services for a fixed payment per annum (subject to inflationary increases per year) with terms generally 25 to 30 years. They also incorporate contractual obligations to make available the individual assets for their prescribed use and, when necessary, overhaul or replace major items of plant and equipment related to the assets, with payment obtained through periodic drawdowns from the relevant government authorities.

Impairment

During the period, the Group assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill and determined that the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the Group’s Europe and Asia Pacific Communities Cash Generating Units (CGUs), which comprise operations of the Communities segment (refer to Note 29. ‘Segment Reporting’), were fully impaired (A$252.9 million). The impairment loss is included in ‘other expenses’ in Communities activities in the income statement.

The main contributing factor to the impairment of the CGUs was the significant deterioration of the residential property market in the UK and Australia which has impacted projects in the Lend Lease Development and Delfin Lend Lease businesses and caused further deterioration within the Crosby Lend Lease business. No impairment arose as a result of the review of goodwill for the Project Management and Construction CGUs which relate to the Bovis Lend Lease Group for the year ended 30 June 2009. Based on information available and market conditions at 30 June 2009, a reasonably foreseeable change in the assumptions made in this assessment would not result in impairment of Bovis Lend Lease Group’s goodwill.

Impairment Tests and Key Assumptions Used

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on Value In Use (VIU) calculations. For the Project Management and Construction CGUs, the assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount of each CGU are based on past experience and expectations for the future, utilising both internal and external sources of data and relevant industry trends. The following describes the key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining VIU relating to the Project Management and Construction CGUs:

Cash Flows

The VIU calculations use post tax cash flow projections based on actual operating results and financial budgets and forecasts covering a five year period. The financial budgets and forecasts are approved by management. These budgets and forecasts are based on management estimates to determine income, expenses, capital expenditure and cash flows for each CGU.

Growth Rate

The terminal value growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flows beyond the five year period is 3.0% (2008: 3.0%). The growth rate reflects the forecast long term average growth rate for each CGU and the countries in which they operate.

Discount Rate

The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is between 11.0% and 13.0% (2008: between 10.0% and 12.0%). 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 CGUs and the countries in which they operate. The discount rates used are post tax.

1 The fair value of plan assets includes Lend Lease shares to the value of A$0.1 million (June 2008: A$0.2 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.

h. Employer Contributions

For the year ending 30 June 2010, total employer contributions to the plan are expected to be A$6.8 million. Lend Lease Corporation paid A$1.0 million in insurance premiums on behalf of the Lend Lease Superannuation Fund (Australia) for the year ending 30 June 2010.

1 Represents construction contracts where the total progress billings issued to clients (together with foreseeable losses if applicable) on a project exceed the costs incurred to date plus recognised profit on the contract.

2 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 current 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.

3 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.

1 Relates to the Bovis UK Pension Scheme.

2 The closure of the Bovis UK Pension Scheme to future accrual, effective 31 August 2008, has contributed to a decrease in the plan’s defined benefit obligation as the plan is no longer exposed to future service salary increases. The curtailment of the plan has resulted in a curtailment gain to the income statement of A$55.3 million before tax.

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

Nature and Purpose of Reserves

25. 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 the 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.

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 developments. 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 34b. ‘Lend Lease Employee Benefit Vehicles’.

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. The number of claimants who have brought proceedings against Bovis Lend Lease is currently approximately 15,699 (comprising 9,595 first named claimants and 6,104 derivative claimants – for example, spouses).

On 12 December 2008 Judge Hellerstein made orders that will bring 30 expedited cases to trial with an anticipated hearing date of May 2010. These cases will include cases selected by the parties, as well as by the Court. Preparation for these trials through discovery is progressing. 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 therefore still needs 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.

In June 2009, Bovis Lend Lease LMB, Inc. in New York, received notice of investigations being conducted by the US Attorney and New York District Attorney. The investigation relates to allegations regarding, among other things, billing practices for union foremen on construction projects in New York. Bovis Lend Lease is co-operating with the authorities in their investigation.

Bovis Lend Lease has engaged independent advisers to conduct a review of Bovis Lend Lease LMB, Inc.’s practices. Until the investigation is complete, it is not possible to quantify what the financial consequences associated with this matter will be, however, Lend Lease has recognised a provision to cover legal costs and make-good payments.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

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 S&P/Moody’s long term credit rating at 30 June 2009 is BBB–/Baa3 (June 2008: BBB–/Baa3). There has been no significant change to the objectives, policies and processes for managing capital from the previous period.

The capital structure of the Group can be changed by equity issuance such as the A$302.5 million raised in February 2009, 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).

156

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

2009 Consolidated AUD USD GBP SGD EUR Other
Net asset exposure(local currency) 1,483.0 24.8 227.0 209.2 84.7 137.7
2008 Consolidated
Net asset exposure(local currency) 1,433.7 109.8 528.0 202.6 88.9 90.8

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.

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 Note 1.21.).

Certain derivative transactions are treated as cash flow or fair value hedges when they meet the appropriate strict hedge accounting criteria outlined in Note 1.22.

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 as shown below:


value of the hedged item as shown below:
Consolidated
June 2009 June 2008
A$m A$m
(Loss)/gain on hedging instrument (6.0) 1.2
Gain/(loss)on hedged item 3.9 (1.2)

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 2009 the fair value of these outstanding designated derivatives recognised in equity is A$nil (30 June 2008: A$1.2 million). All of the forecast hedged transactions occurred during the year ended 30 June 2009 and affected 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.

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 until realised. The Group does not currently use derivatives to hedge net investment in foreign operations.

Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity of the AUD to movement in foreign currencies is based on a 10% fluctuation (June 2008: 5% fluctuation) in the blended 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 10% decrease (June 2008: 5% decrease) in the blended foreign exchange rates would have impacted the Group’s (loss)/profit after tax as follows:

The sensitivity of the AUD to movement in foreign currencies is based on a 10% fuctuation (June 2008:
5% fuctuation) in the blended rates during the fnancial 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.

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.

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. There was impairment of A$16.5 million recorded against other financial assets (June 2008: A$2.8 million). Refer to Note 9. ‘Loans and Receivables’ for information relating to impairment on loans and receivables.

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$24.3 million is secured by a first registered mortgage over land parcels (30 June 2008: A$76.5 million); and

  • Other receivables are not secured by a first registered mortgage over land parcels (30 June 2008: A$4.9 million).

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 2008: A$nil). Consequently, any collateral held as security is not recognised in the financial statements.

c. Interest Rate Risk

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.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on financial instruments is set out below.

Sensitivity Analysis – Consolidated

At 30 June 2009 it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in interest rates would have decreased the Group’s loss after tax and retained earnings by A$7.1 million (2008: A$3.6 million increase in the Group’s profit after tax and retained earnings). The net decrease in loss 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 loss 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.

Sensitivity Analysis – Company

The Company does not have material exposures to interest bearing financial assets or liabilities, evidenced by the table above, and on this basis, no sensitivity analysis has been provided.

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. Lend Lease’s main liquidity risk is the ability to refinance its current borrowings. At 30 June 2009 all borrowings are non current. Management is working on strategies to secure committed refinancing of the £350.0 million syndicated facility in the UK maturing in November 2010, A$153.1 million of which was drawn down at 30 June 2009.

The following are the contractual cash flow maturities of financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) as at 30 June 2009, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements.

e. Fair Values of Financial 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 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 13. ‘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:

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 is included in ‘Other Financial Assets’ and ‘Other Financial Liabilities’ (refer to Note 13. ‘Other Financial Assets’ and Note 21. ‘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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

31. International Currency Management and Financial Instruments continued 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 to the table in Note 31e.).

During the year, the Group entered into a series of net cash settled equity derivative swap contracts, the value of which is directly correlated to the FKP Property Group share price.

Sensitivity Analysis – Consolidated

A 10.0% increase (June 2008: 5.0%) in the fair value of ‘Other Financial Assets’ (refer to Note 13. ‘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$27.0 million after tax (30 June 2008: A$15.0 million increase), and increased the value of ‘fair value through profit or loss’ assets and decreased the Group’s loss after tax and equity by A$5.0 million (30 June 2008: A$1.3 million). A 10.0% decrease (June 2008: 5.0%) 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.

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

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 7.85% of the issued capital of Lend Lease Corporation. 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 program 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.

  • 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 2,410 employees (June 2008: 2,728) 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 2,386 employees (June 2008: 3,169) 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 2,386 UK, European and Singapore employees (June 2008: 4,646) 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.

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 2009 was 14.1 million Lend Lease Corporation shares (June 2008: 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 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$112.3 million at 30 June 2009 (June 2008: A$150.8 million). 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.

165

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

34. Employee Benefits continued b. Lend Lease Employee Benefit Vehicles continued

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 10 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 2009, there were 11.6 million (June 2008: 11.6 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 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 of A$88.1 million as at 30 June 2009 (June 2008: A$118.3 million). 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 2009, the net impact was an after tax expense of A$4.3 million (June 2008: 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 the 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; and

  • Attract and retain high calibre executives by providing competitive rewards that relate to the performance of the Group, the individual executive and the Lend Lease Corporation share price.

LTI grants are normally made in August each year. The Personnel and Organisation Committee intends that these awards will vest in Lend Lease Corporation shares rather than cash, 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.

166

2009 Annual Consolidated Financial Report Lend Lease Corporation

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 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 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 Total Shareholder Return (TSR) compared with 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.

Arrangements for LTI Awards Granted in the June 2009 Financial Year

For the June 2009 financial year award, 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 September 2008 the performance hurdle is based on three equal measures: long term profitability as measured by earnings per share (EPS), external TSR compared to the TSR of the individual ASX100 listed companies as at the commencement of the performance period and a retention component. 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);

  • EPS on operating profit as defined in the current financial year for treasury shares; and

  • Retention component will vest if the executive remains in employment with Lend Lease for three years.

Each of the three 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’.

Other LTI Awards

During the June 2009 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.

1 Award settled in cash and vested on a progressive monthly basis over the award service life.

2 Award settled in cash or shares at the option of the executive and is dependent upon service to vesting date.

3 Award settled in shares and is dependent upon service to vesting date. A good leaver will be entitled to pro rata vesting.

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.

  • 1 Represents the Lend Lease Corporation share price at 30 June 2009 for equity settled awards.

  • 2 Represents the number of Lend Lease Corporation share equivalents granted at their fair value at 30 June 2009.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2009, a A$19.2 million expense was recognised in the income statement in relation to equity settled share based payment awards. This was partially offset by a net accrual reversal of A$9.7 million relating to internal performance measurements of the 2006 LTI equity settled plan which did not vest, the internal performance measurement of the 2007 equity settled plan which is not expected to vest and previously accrued expenses for employees that left the Company during the year.

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 2009, and the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes 1 to 37 and the Directors’ Declaration 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 of the Group, 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.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Auditor’s opinion

In our opinion:

(a) The financial report of Lend Lease Corporation Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

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.

Annual Report

Shareholders have the option of receiving either: – a full statutory annual report; or – a shareholder review.

Lend Lease makes both the annual report and the shareholder review available online. 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 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.
