Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which:

  • Has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and the Corporations Act 2001 ;

  • Complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board;

  • Is presented in Australian dollars, with all values rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191; and

  • Is prepared under the historical cost basis except for the following assets, which are stated at their fair value: fair value through profit or loss investments.

Significant accounting policies have been:

  • Included in the relevant notes to which the policies relate, and other significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 23 ‘Other Significant Accounting Policies’; and

  • Consistently applied to all financial years presented in the financial statements, except as explained in Note 22 ‘Impact of New and Revised Accounting Standards’.

The preparation of a financial report that complies with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions.

  • This can affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

  • Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

  • The significant accounting policies highlight information about accounting judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on reported amounts and further information about estimated uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments within the next financial year.

  • These significant accounting estimates and judgements have been considered in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impact of the current economic conditions.

The Consolidated Entity presents assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position as current or non current.

  • Current assets include assets held primarily for trading purposes, cash and cash equivalents, and assets expected to be realised in, or intended for sale or use in, the course of the Consolidated Entity’s operating cycle. All other assets are classified as non current.

  • Current liabilities include liabilities held primarily for trading purposes, liabilities expected to be settled in the course of the Consolidated Entity’s operating cycle and those liabilities due within one year from the reporting date. All other liabilities are classified as non current liabilities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

Section A: Performance

Profit After Tax (PAT) is the key measure used to assess the Consolidated Entity’s performance. This section of the Consolidated Financial Report focuses on disclosure that enhances a user’s understanding of PAT. The key line items of the Statement of Comprehensive Income along with their components provide detail behind the reported balances. The Consolidated Entity’s performance will also impact the earnings per unit and distribution payout, therefore disclosure on these items have been included in this section. Further information and analysis on performance can be found in the Review and Results of Operations, which forms part of the Directors’ Report.

2. Earnings Per Unit (EPU)

Accounting Policies

The Consolidated Entity presents basic and diluted EPU in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Basic EPU is determined by dividing profit/(loss) after income tax attributable to the unitholders of the Trust, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary units, by the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary units issued during the financial year.

Diluted EPU is determined by adjusting the profit/(loss) after tax attributable to the unitholders of the Trust, and the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary units. The Trust currently does not have any dilutive potential ordinary units.

3. Revenue and Other Income

Accounting Policies

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

Net gains or losses on sale of investments , including equity accounted investments and fair value through profit or loss assets are recognised when an unconditional contract is in place.

Net gains or losses on fair value remeasurements are recognised in accordance with the policies stated in Note 7 ‘Other Financial Assets’.

Total revenue and other income 36,179 151,755

4. Finance Revenue and Finance Costs

Accounting Policies

Finance revenue is recognised as it is earned using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument. The discount is then recognised as finance revenue over the remaining life of the financial instrument.

Finance costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings and amortisation of costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of new borrowings facilities. Costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings are capitalised and amortised over the life of the borrowings. Finance costs are expensed immediately as incurred.

Section B: Investment

This section includes disclosures for indirect property assets such as Other Financial Assets and Equity Accounted Investments contained within the Statement of Financial Position.

7. Other Financial Assets

Accounting Policies

Financial Assets at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition are measured at fair value (generally transaction price) and subsequently stated at fair value. Transaction costs are recorded as expenses when they are incurred. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial Assets at amortised cost are presented within Note 15 ‘Loans and Receivables’.

8. Equity Accounted Investments

Accounting Policies

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. The share of profit recognised under the equity method is the Consolidated Entity’s share of the investment’s profit or loss based on ownership interest held. Associates are entities in which the Consolidated Entity, as a result of its voting rights, has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. This applies 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 Consolidated Entity’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the equity accounted investment (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 Consolidated Entity has obligations in respect of the associate.

Dividends from associates represent a return on the Consolidated Entity’s investment and, as such, are applied as a reduction to the carrying value of the investment. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investments are eliminated against the investment in the associate to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Other movements in associates’ reserves are recognised directly in the Consolidated Entity’s consolidated reserves.

  1. The underlying investments in this associate are office and retail investment properties measured at fair value. At 30 June 2020, valuations were undertaken that took into account the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The downward valuation movement was driven by the retail asset due to the impact of the contraction in the local Singapore economy. Additionally, the current market conditions related to the carrying value of the investment were also considered. The carrying value of the investment is considered recoverable as it correlates with the net assets of the associate, which have been valued at 30 June 2020 as noted above.

11. Borrowings and Financing Arrangements

Accounting Policies

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Under the amortised cost method the difference between the amount initially recognised and the redemption value is recorded in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowing on an effective interest basis. Borrowings are referred to in this section using their redemption value when describing the terms and conditions.

Borrowings and Finance Facilities

12. Issued Capital

Accounting Policies

Issued Capital

Ordinary units are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary units are recognised as a deduction from equity. When issued capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a change in equity. Distributions are recognised as a liability in the financial year in which they are declared.

  2. On 4 June 2020 the Consolidated Entity issued 27 million new stapled securities via a Security Purchase Plan at an issue price of $9.80.

  3. Stapled securities acquired by the Trust as part of the Group’s on market stapled security buyback have been recorded in the Buyback Reserve.

  4. During the period the Group raised $1,193 million in equity after costs which was allocated 48.4% to the Company and 51.6% to Lendlease Trust.

a. Issuance of Securities

At 30 June 2020 Lendlease Trust had 688,267,587 units on issue equivalent to the number of Lendlease Corporation shares on issue. The issued units of the Trust and shares on issue by Lendlease Corporation Limited are stapled securities.

b. Security Accumulation Plans

The Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) was reactivated in February 2011. The last date for receipt of an election notice for participation in the DRP is 25 August 2020. The issue price is the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of Lendlease stapled securities traded (on the Australian Securities Exchange) for the period of five consecutive business days immediately following the record date for determining entitlements to distribution. If that price is less than 50 cents, the issue price will be 50 cents. Stapled securities issued under the DRP rank equally with all other stapled securities on issue.

c. Terms and Conditions

A stapled security represents one share in the Company stapled to one unit in the Trust.

Stapled securityholders have the right to receive declared dividends from the Company and distributions from the Trust and are entitled to one vote per stapled security at securityholders’ meetings. Ordinary stapled securityholders rank after all creditors in repayment of capital.

13. Liquidity Risk Exposure

Further information on Liquidity Risk is disclosed in Note 17 ‘Financial Risk Management’. As disclosed in Note 19 ‘Contingent Liabilities’ in certain circumstances the Trust guarantees the performance of particular Stapled Group entities in respect of their obligations including bonding and bank guarantees. Issued bank guarantees have cash collateralisation requirements if the bank guarantee facility is not renewed by the provider. At 30 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity does not anticipate a significant liquidity risk in relation to these facilities in the next 12 months.

The following are the contractual cash flow maturities of financial liabilities including estimated interest payments.

8,842 9,145

15. Loans and Receivables

Accounting Policies

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not equity securities. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts over the term of the loans and receivables. Cash flows relating to short term trade and other receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The discount, if material, is then recognised as revenue over the remaining term.

The Consolidated Entity assesses provision for impairment of loans and receivables based on expected loss, if material. The Consolidated Entity considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Consolidated Entity’s historical impairment experience, credit assessment of customers and any relevant forward-looking information. The amount of the provision is recognised in the Income Statement.

Other receivables – external parties 8,305 10,941
Loan to relatedparty 811,872 501,688
Total loans and receivables 820,177 512,629

The interest bearing loan facility is due within 12 months. The credit quality of all loans and receivables, including those neither past due nor impaired, is assessed and monitored on an ongoing basis. To determine the impairment provision for the financial year, the Consolidated Entity considers how economic and market conditions will affect the creditworthiness of certain entities. There were no past due or impaired receivables for 30 June 2020 (June 2019: $nil past due and $nil impaired).

17

16. Trade and Other Payables

Accounting Policies

Trade Creditors

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Consolidated Entity. Trade and other payables are settled in the normal course of business. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts estimated future cash outflows over the term of the trade and other payables. Cash flows relating to short term trade and other payables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The discount, if material, is then recognised as an expense over the remaining term.

Section D: Risk Management

The Consolidated Entity’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Consolidated Entity’s overall risk management strategy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise adverse effects on the Consolidated Entity’s performance. Treasury policies have been approved by the Board for managing this risk. This section contains disclosures of financial risks the Consolidated Entity is exposed to and how the Consolidated Entity manages these risks. The impact of contingent liabilities is also considered in this section.

17. Financial Risk Management

The Lendlease Asset and Liability Committee oversees the management of the Consolidated Entity’s financial risks, within the parameters of a Board approved Treasury Policy, and maintains a Group-wide framework for financial risk management and reviews issues of material risk exposure within the scope of the Treasury Policy. A summary of key risks identified, exposures and management of exposures is detailed in the table below.

a. Credit Risk Exposure

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date on financial instruments recognised in the Statement of Financial Position (excluding investments of the Trust) equals the carrying amount.

Refer to Note 15 ‘Loans and Receivables’ for information relating to impairment on loans and receivables. No provision for doubtful debts has been raised as no impairment has been identified.

b. Interest Rate Risk Exposure

The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to interest rate risk on its financial assets and liabilities is set out as follows, the Consolidated Entity has no fixed rate instruments.

no fxed rate instruments.

Sensitivity Analysis

At 30 June 2020 it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in interest rates would have increased the Consolidated Entity’s equity and profit after tax by $8,313,470 (June 2019: $5,158,320). A one percentage point decrease in interest rates would have an equal opposite effect on equity and profit after tax. The increase or decrease in interest income/expense is proportional to the increase or decrease in interest rates.

18. Fair Value Measurement

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies for financial instruments held at fair value are included in Note 7 ‘Other Financial Assets’. Management considers the valuation of the financial instruments to be an area of estimation uncertainty. While this represents the best estimation of fair value at the reporting date, the fair values may differ if there is volatility in market prices.

a. Basis of Determining Fair Value

The fair value of unlisted equity investments, including investments in property funds, is determined based on an assessment of the underlying net assets which may include periodic independent and directors’ valuations, future maintainable earnings, and any special circumstances pertaining to the particular investment. Fair value of unlisted equity instruments has also taken the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration to determine fair value at 30 June 2020. This has included more frequent independent valuations of underlying investment properties to account for current market conditions.

b. Fair Value Measurements

The different levels of valuation method have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: The fair value is determined using the unadjusted quoted price for an identical asset or liability in an active market for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2: The fair value is calculated using predominantly observable market data other than unadjusted quoted prices for an identical asset or liability; and

  • Level 3: The fair value is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data.

During the year there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value hierarchies.

19. Contingent Liabilities

The Consolidated Entity has identified the following contingent liabilities, being liabilities in respect of which there is the potential for a cash outflow in excess of any provision where the likelihood of payment is not considered probable or cannot be measured reliably at this time:

  • In certain circumstances, the Trust, as part of the Group, guarantees the performance of particular Group entities in respect of their obligations. This includes bonding and bank guarantee facilities used primarily by the construction business. 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.

23. Other Significant Accounting Policies

a. Income Tax

Under current Australian income tax legislation the Consolidated Entity is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, to the extent that unitholders are attributed the taxable income of the Consolidated Entity.

b. 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 Statement of Financial Position. 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the unitholders of Lendlease Trust

Opinion

We have audited the Financial Report of Lendlease Trust (the Trust).

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the Trust is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity ’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • complying with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1 and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

The Financial Report comprises

  • Statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020;

  • Statement of comprehensive income, Statement of changes in equity and Statement of cash flows for the year then ended;

  • Notes including a summary of significant accounting policies; and

  • Directors’ Declaration.

The Consolidated Entity consists of the Trust and the entities it controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the year.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards . We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report.

We are independent of the Consolidated Entity and Lendlease Responsible Entity Limited (the Responsible Entity) in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Other Information

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Lendlease Trust’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors of the Responsible Entity are responsible for the Other Information.

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The Directors of the Responsible Entity are responsible for:

  • preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Corporations Act 2001 ;

  • implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

  • assessing the Trust and the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Trust and the Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objective is:

  • to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

  • to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar3.pdf. This description forms part of our Auditor’s Report.
