This focus will ensure Mirvac can continue to meet its strategic objectives without increasing its overall capital management risk profile.

Mirvac will continue to enhance its capabilities as a world-class Australian property group concentrating on the secure income stream from the carefully structured Investment portfolio and improving the return on invested capital achieved by the Development business.

Investment

At 30 June 2013, Investment (comprising MPT and a small number of assets held by the Company) had invested capital of $6,776.6m[ 1] , with investments in 68 direct property assets, covering the office, retail and industrial sectors, as well as investments in car parks, a hotel and other funds managed by Mirvac. The asset allocation for MPT invested capital was as follows:

  • office: 60.4 per cent; – retail: 25.0 per cent;

– industrial: 6.7 per cent; and

– other: 7.9 per cent[ 2] .

For the 12 months to 30 June 2013, MPT’s statutory profit before tax was $464.3m and operating profit before tax was $418.8m, an increase of 3.7 per cent. This increase was driven primarily by the acquisition of seven office assets and reduced interest costs due to non-core asset sales and a decrease in the average interest rate.

While the global economic climate remained challenging, the Trust’s earnings continued to be secured by a strong weighted average lease expiry (“WALE”) profile of 6.9 years[ 3] , 96.2 per cent of financial year 2014 (“FY14”) rent reviews being fixed or linked to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), and 72.2 per cent of revenue being derived from multinational, ASX listed and government tenants.

  • achieved 3.5 per cent like-for-like net operating income growth;

  • maintained high occupancy at 97.9 per cent[ 3] ;

  • five Sydney CBD assets located in the strategically significant ‘Alfred, Pitt, Dalley and George Streets’ precinct, restocking Mirvac’s commercial development pipeline with assets that can be held for the long term;

  • established a second capital partnership with Keppel REIT via the sale of a 50.0 per cent interest in the Treasury Building, Perth on a fund through basis;

04 mirvac group annual report 2013

Divisional highlights / continued

The Group’s focus on corporate responsibility and sustainability continued to deliver results within the Trust’s portfolio, with key achievements:

  • 6.0 Star Green Star Office Design v2 rating for 8 Chifley, Sydney NSW;

  • 4.6 Star NABERS energy portfolio average rating in December 2012, exceeding the target of 4.5 Stars, and six months ahead of the June 2013 target date;

  • 3.4 Star NABERS water portfolio average target six months ahead of schedule, and reached 3.5 Stars in June 2013;

  • 5.5 Star NABERS energy rating for 1 Darling Island, Pyrmont NSW, representing MPT’s second asset to achieve a 5.5 Star rating; and

  • 5.0 Star NABERS energy rating for 339 Coronation Drive, Brisbane QLD. Energy intensity was reduced by 39.0 per cent and greenhouse emissions by 974 tonnes CO2 per annum from 2010.

Outlook[ 1]

Uncertainties surrounding US monetary policy, Chinese economic growth, a softening in white collar employment and the domestic economy transitioning away from mining investment make for a challenging environment. Nonetheless, an improvement in both economic and political stability should result in continued interest for quality products from both domestic and international investors. The office portfolio, with low vacancy rates, high average fixed rent increases, quality tenant profile, manageable expiry profile and long weighted average lease term, continues to be well positioned to deliver strong returns.

In the retail sector, greater consumer caution and a slowing in household income growth have continued to increase pressure on discretionary spending. MPT’s retail portfolio is strongly biased towards non-discretionary spending, such as food. This area of spending continues to be far more resilient and, as a consequence, the Group’s retail assets, located in core locations, should continue to perform strongly.

Overall, the Trust remains focused on providing secure passive income to the Group, with key areas of focus including:

  • improving the quality of the portfolio via non-aligned asset sales and creating new development product;

  • extracting the benefit of the Group’s demonstrated competitive advantages in remaining strategically overweight in the office sector; and

  • focusing on prime sub-regional, neighbourhood and CBD shopping centres located in growth markets.

Investment Management

Mirvac Investment Management (“MIM”) comprises two business activities for segment reporting purposes: third party, listed and unlisted funds management; and, property asset management.

For the year ended 30 June 2013, MIM recorded a statutory loss before tax of $13.7m and an operating loss before tax of $11.9m. MIM’s result was impacted by a decline in management fee income following the exit of funds under management, and a reduction in income from the continued exit of non-core investments and loans.

At 30 June 2013, MIM remained responsible for the management of four wholesale funds: Mirvac Wholesale Residential Development Partnership; Tucker Box Hotel Group; JF Infrastructure Yield Fund; and Australian Sustainable Forestry Investors. MIM also manages the ASX listed Mirvac Industrial Trust and two unlisted residential development funds.

In line with MIM’s continued focus on the rationalisation of its non-core activities, the Group’s equity interest in the US based funds manager, Quadrant Real Estate Advisors, was disposed of on 3 June 2013.

Mirvac Asset Management (“MAM”) provides asset management services primarily for the MPT portfolio. MAM currently manages 68 properties inclusive of the seven recently acquired properties as part of the GE office portfolio acquisition.

Outlook[ 1]

MIM will continue to seek to exit its non-core responsible entity, trustee and investment manager responsibilities as well as the underlying assets as opportunities arise. MAM will seek to continue to expand its asset management services in line with growth in the Investment Division’s portfolio and assets owned by third parties where there are common interests.

Development

Mirvac’s Development business unit operates across national product lines consisting of Residential (comprising Apartments and Masterplanned Communities) and Commercial.

At 30 June 2013, Development had $1,482.5m of invested capital.

For the year ended 30 June 2013, Development’s statutory loss before tax was $236.1m and operating profit before tax was $37.1m. The statutory result was impacted by the provisions announced on 7 February 2013. As part of the regular review of all Development project assumptions, the assessment as at 31 December 2012 provided evidence that specific micro markets had not recovered as previously expected which resulted in a $273.2m reduction in carrying value, made up of provision for loss on inventories ($242.9m), impairment of investments ($12.3m) and impairment of loans ($18.0m). The majority of projects impacted are in QLD representing 72.0 per cent of the provisions and in WA representing 27.0 per cent of the provisions[ 2] .

Residential

In the Group’s core metropolitan markets, the business unit continued to deliver quality residential product, with new release projects targeted at the right price points and right locations. Key highlights across Apartments and Masterplanned Communities were:

Apartments:

  • Harold Park, Glebe NSW: achieved strong sales with 93.6 per cent of Precinct 1 and 78.8 per cent of Precinct 2 sold (279 and 145 exchanged contracts respectively). The next stage is scheduled for release in the second half of 2013;

  • Rhodes Waterside, Rhodes NSW: progressed with construction on the final apartment building at the Rhodes precinct with 94.8 per cent sold (221 exchanged contracts);

1) These future looking statements should be read in conjunction with future releases to the ASX.

2) The remaining 1.0 per cent relates to projects outside of Queensland and Western Australia.

  • 8 Chifley, Sydney NSW: demonstrating the benefits of Mirvac’s integrated model, Development successfully delivered this premium grade asset to the joint owners (MPT and Keppel REIT). The premium office tower achieved a 6.0 Star Green Star Office Design V2 rating and is expected to achieve a 5.0 Star NABERS energy rating. Practical completion was achieved in July 2013;

  • Stanhope Village, Stanhope NSW: commenced construction on Stage 3 which includes the extension of the Kmart mall and a new Aldi supermarket;

  • Kawana Shopping Centre, Buddina QLD: commenced construction on Stage 4 which includes a new Aldi supermarket and additional specialty stores, expanding the centre by approximately 9,000 square metres; and

  • Orion Springfield Shopping Centre, Springfield QLD (Pad Sites): commenced construction with initial tenants trading in December 2012. The remaining Pad Sites are on track for completion by December 2013. The Pad Sites will provide a gross lettable area of 5,108 square metres.

Outlook[ 2]

The outlook for capital city residential markets remains mixed by location. Whilst there has not been a material uplift in demand to date and purchasers maintain a cautious position, the stronger fundamentals should result in a further improvement in the residential property market over time, with the trend towards medium density living continuing, particularly in the south eastern states.

The Division remains on track towards achieving its 2014 recovery, with key areas of focus including:

  • continuing to improve key metrics including return on invested capital (10.0 plus per cent target) and gross margin (18.0-22.0 per cent target);

  • strategically restocking the development pipeline; and

  • improving the strong levels of pre-sales to mitigate future earning risks.

1) Total exchanged pre-sales contracts as at 30 June 2013, adjusted for Mirvac’s share of joint ventures, associates and Mirvac’s managed funds. 2) These future looking statements should be read in conjunction with future releases to the ASX.

Risk

As a property group involved in real estate investment, residential and commercial development and investment management, Mirvac faces a number of risks throughout the business cycle which have the potential to affect the Group’s achievement of its targeted financial outcomes. The Group’s objective is to ensure those risks are identified and appropriate strategies are implemented to control or otherwise manage the impact of those risks. Mirvac’s risk management framework is integrated with its day-to-day business processes and is supported by a dedicated Group Risk function. Further information on the Group’s risk management framework is detailed in the Corporate Governance Statement in this Annual Report.

group risks

For the year ended 30 June 2013, the Group continued to review both internal and external risks which have the potential to affect the Group’s targeted financial outcomes and to implement strategies to minimise their impact. As announced on 9 May 2013, as part of Mirvac’s annual strategic review of each business unit, the Group established clear and targeted directional mandates for all areas of operation. Further information on the material risks identified for each of the Investment and Development divisions is outlined below. The Group also introduced a consolidated Group-wide robust capital allocation process that encourages decision making with a focus on Group outcomes rather than divisional outcomes.

At a Group level, Mirvac faces certain risks to the achievement of its financial outcomes, these risks are types of risks that are typical for a property group. These may include debt refinancing and compliance with debt covenants as well as compliance with HSE regulations.

Divisional risks

At a divisional level, the key risks faced by Investment and Development which have the potential to affect the achievement of the financial prospects for the Group include:

  • office: as detailed in the outlook section for Investment, the demand for office space remains challenging across markets in which the Group operates. This has the potential to impact on the Group’s performance given that office assets represent 60.4 per cent of the MPT portfolio. MPT’s office portfolio metrics comprising a long WALE of 5.2 years, high occupancy of 96.8 per cent, strong like-forlike rent growth of 3.9 per cent, along with the portfolio’s outperformance against the IPD index over three and five years, demonstrate Mirvac’s ability to maintain a strong and robust portfolio through the cycles of demand. The Group seeks to manage uncertainty around commercial office demand in a number of ways including substantial pre-letting of commercial development in advance of construction (for example, the Ernst & Young precommitment of 74.0 per cent of the lettable area at 200 George Street, Sydney, announced in January 2013) and by partially selling-down commercial developments in advance of completion (for example, Treasury Building, Perth and 200 George Street, Sydney);

  • retail: as detailed in the outlook section for Investment, the current low retail sales growth environment continues to place pressure on retailers. With 25.0 per cent of MPT’s portfolio represented by retail assets, Mirvac is focused on continually refreshing its retail assets (via refurbishment, redevelopment or remixing) to adapt to changing market dynamics. Furthermore, Mirvac maintains a focus on non-discretionary offerings, and a diversified tenancy mix, where no single specialty retailer contributes greater than 1.2 per cent of the total portfolio’s gross rent; and

– residential: as detailed in the outlook section for Development, Australia’s residential market varies from state to state (and within states) with some markets expected to continue to strengthen over the next three years, while activity over the medium term is expected to slow in states with a heavier reliance on resource investment. The Development division is focused on the right product in the right location with diversification of risk across residential sub-markets, across Australia and between asset classes (Apartments and Masterplanned Communities). Weighting to key growth markets such as NSW, which is currently at 51.8 per cent of the portfolio, further mitigates this risk, as do pre-sales.

enVIRonMentAl RegulAtIons

Mirvac and its business operations are subject to compliance with both Federal and State environment protection legislation, and the Board is satisfied that adequate systems are in place for Mirvac’s compliance with the applicable legislation.

Within Mirvac’s health, safety and environment performance reporting systems, including internal and external audits and inspections, Mirvac has not experienced any incidents that have resulted in any significant harm to the environment. There were three infringement notices issued for minor environmental incidents at housing development sites due to the potential for uncontrolled sediment run off. Immediate action was undertaken to rectify all three of these minor environmental infringements.

A key initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions was a commitment to achieve an average 4.5 Star NABERS Energy rating on applicable office buildings by June 2013. The Investment Division achieved this target in December 2012, six months ahead of schedule. This has resulted in reduced operating costs, improved environmental performance, demonstrating excellent energy operational and management practices, and high efficiency systems and equipment.

Mirvac is required under National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (“NGER”) to report annually on greenhouse gas emissions, reductions, removals and offsets, and energy consumption and production figures.

Following the divestment of the Hotel Management business Mirvac no longer triggers the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 (“EEO”) threshold and was not required to participate in the year ended 30 June 2013. Mirvac deregistered from EEO on December 2012.

Mirvac is also subject to the commercial Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 . This involves the disclosure of energy efficiency-related information at the point of sale or lease of office space greater than 2,000 square metres.

The Federal Government introduced price on carbon pollution which became effective on 1 July 2012. Mirvac is not a liable entity under the legislation and is marginally affected. The legislation bill provides for increases in the total carbon cap and therefore does not preclude expansion of the number of directly liable entities before the scheme transitions to a cap and trade system in 2015.

ReMuneRAtIon RepoRt

The remuneration report comprises the following sections:

  • 1) Highlights for the year ended 30 June 2013

  • 2) Alignment of remuneration strategy and business strategy

  • 3) Mirvac’s approach to executive remuneration design

  • 4) Remuneration components and outcomes for the Senior Executives

  • 5) Five year snapshot of business and executive remuneration outcomes

  • 6) Service agreements for the Senior Executives

  • 7) Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration

  • 8) Additional information

This report covers the key management personnel (“KMP”) of Mirvac. KMP are those people with authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly. In essence, the KMP are responsible for determining and executing Mirvac’s strategy.

Mirvac has previously considered all members of the Executive Leadership Team (“ELT”) to be KMP. However, during the year ended 30 June 2013 (“FY13”) the composition of ELT expanded significantly to include new business heads, as well as heads of support functions. Under the expanded structure, the new ELT members who head business functions are considered KMP, while the heads of support functions are not considered to be KMP.

For Mirvac, the KMP during FY13 were therefore:

– the CEO & Managing Director, Finance Director and members of the ELT who head a business (“Senior Executives”); and – Non-Executive Directors.

For the year ended 30 June 2013, the Senior Executives were:

10 mirvac group annual report 2013

1 HIgHlIgHts foR tHe yeAR enDeD 30 June 2013 (“fy13”)

fixed remuneration 1) In accordance with its market positioning strategy, Mirvac assesses the remuneration
levels and mix for Senior Executives to identify where adjustments are appropriate
based on market benchmarking. As a result, no Senior Executives received an
increase to their fxed remuneration during FY13, while two Senior Executives had
their fxed remuneration reduced effective 1 July2012.
short-term incentives (“stI”) 2) To ensure that the STI pool was appropriately aligned to Mirvac’s strategic drivers,
Mirvac continued with its balanced scorecard of measures for determining the STI
pool for the year ended 30 June 2013.
3) The FY13 STI pool was smaller than the STI pool in the year ended 30 June 2012
(“FY12”). This was largely due to Mirvac not meeting threshold performance levels
on the Return on Assets (“ROA”) measure as a result of the impairments announced
during FY13.
4) Consistent with the intention stated in the FY12 Remuneration Report, 25 per cent
of FY13 STI awards for ELT members will be delivered in the form of Mirvac securities,
with the remainder paid in cash.
5) For FY14 the ROA measure will continue to be calculated in the same manner, but will
be relabelled as Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). This change in terminology will
ensure consistency between the terms used in Mirvac’s remuneration arrangements
and those used in Mirvac’s business strategy and external market communications.
6) Effective FY14, the ROIC weighting in the balanced scorecard will increase from
20 per cent to 35 percent, while the weighting for operating earnings will reduce from
50 per cent to 35 per cent. This change refects the increased emphasis in Mirvac’s
strategyongeneratingreturns on the assets it manages.
Introduction of stI deferral 7) Commencing from FY14, 25 per cent of STI awards for ELT members will be
deferred into rights over Mirvac securities. Half of these deferred rights will vest after
12 months, with the balance vesting after 24 months. No dividends will be payable
on these deferred rights. The deferred rights are subject to service conditions.
long-term incentives (“ltI”) 8) The three year performance period for the LTI grants made during the year ended
30 June 2011 fnished on 30 June 2013. None of the performance rights from this
grant vested as the relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance hurdle
was not met.
9) Consistent with the approach used for the FY12 LTI grants, two performance
measures will again be applied to the LTI grants made during FY13: 50 per cent of
the LTI allocation will be tested against a relative TSR hurdle and 50 per cent against
a return on equity (“ROE”) hurdle.
10) To ensure that executives are only rewarded when performance hurdles have been
achieved at the end of the performance period, Mirvac continued with its policy of
not paying dividends on unvested LTI awards.
11) For FY14, ROIC will replace ROE as an LTI hurdle. The rationale behind this is to
ensure improved alignment between Mirvac’s business strategy, incentive scheme
measures, and external market communications.
Introduction of incentive 12) In order to further strengthen Mirvac’s remuneration governance framework, Mirvac
clawback arrangements has introduced a clawback policy for ELT members and other executives capable of
infuencing the results of the Group. The policy gives the HRC the ability to clawback
incentives in the event of a material fnancial misstatement. The clawback provisions
will applyto future unvested STI and LTI awards.
Changes to remuneration mix 13) In order to facilitate the introduction of STI deferrals, effective FY14, the STI targets for
ELT members (other than the Managing Director) will increase by 10 per cent of fxed
remuneration, while the LTI targets will reduce by 10 per cent of fxed remuneration.
The STI and LTI targets for the ManagingDirector will remain unchanged.
non-executive Director fees 14) The maximum aggregate Non-Executive Director remuneration for FY13 remained
unchanged from the $1.95m limit approved by securityholders at the 2009 Mirvac
Annual General Meeting/General Meeting (“AGM”). No increase to this maximum
remuneration amount isproposed for FY14.

Mirvac’s remuneration strategy is designed to support and reinforce its business strategy. Linking the at-risk components of remuneration (that is, our STI and LTI schemes) to the drivers that support the business strategy ensures that remuneration outcomes for executives are aligned with the creation of sustainable value for securityholders.

Mirvac’s remuneration arrangements support its strategic vision of setting the standard as a world-class Australian property group that attracts the best. The Board has identified drivers that are critical to the achievement of this strategic vision, being:

  • 1) financial performance and capital efficiency;

  • 2) customer and investor satisfaction;

  • 3) high performing people and culture; and

  • 4) health, safety, environment and sustainability (“HSE&S”) leadership.

The at-risk components of executive reward (i.e. Mirvac’s STI and LTI schemes) are directly tied to these four strategic drivers, as shown in the following diagram. This is intended to motivate executives to focus on the areas the Board has identified as most important for delivering the business strategy. Actual remuneration outcomes for executives are directly affected by, and aligned with, Group performance in these areas.

The following table sets out the actual value of the remuneration receivable by the Senior Executives during the year. The figures in this table are different from those shown in the accounting table in section 4(h). The main difference between the two tables is that the accounting table in section 4(h) includes an apportioned accounting value for all unvested LTI grants during the year (some of which remain subject to satisfaction of performance and service conditions and may not ultimately vest). The table below, on the other hand, shows the LTI value based on the awards that actually vested and delivered value to Senior Executives.

The Board and HRC are responsible for designing remuneration arrangements that support the business strategy.

Remuneration arrangements are designed to enable Mirvac to derive maximum value from its remuneration spend, by attracting, motivating and retaining the individuals who are best equipped to successfully execute the business strategy.

a) How remuneration decisions are made

Board and HRC oversight and accountability

The Board, with assistance from the HRC, is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the remuneration approach at Mirvac is consistent with the business strategy and aligned with the creation of sustainable securityholder value.

The HRC, consisting of five independent Non-Executive Directors, has been delegated responsibility for reviewing the remuneration strategy annually and advises the Board on remuneration policies and practices generally. The HRC also makes specific recommendations to the Board on remuneration packages, incentives and other terms of employment for Non-Executive and Executive Directors, including the Managing Director, and approves the remuneration packages, incentives and other terms of employment for other KMP. More detailed information on the role and responsibilities of the HRC can be found in section 9 of the Corporate Governance Statement, while information on each of the HRC members can be found on page 8 and 9 of the Annual Report.

The HRC regularly reviews the at-risk components of executive remuneration (that is the STI and LTI schemes) to ensure that the executive remuneration approach continues to be appropriately aligned with securityholders’ interests, while also serving to attract, motivate and retain suitably qualified people. The HRC also reviews and approves the performance targets set for the STI and LTI schemes, as well as the assessment of Mirvac’s performance against those targets, which ultimately determines STI and LTI outcomes.

Expert input from management and external advisors

To ensure it has the necessary information to make remuneration decisions, the HRC seeks advice and input from Mirvac’s Group Executive, Services. In addition, the HRC has appointed Ernst & Young as its external remuneration adviser. Ernst & Young’s role in this regard is to provide both information on current market practice and independent input into key remuneration decisions.

Ernst & Young’s terms of engagement include specific measures designed to protect its independence. The HRC recognises that, to effectively perform its role, it is necessary for Ernst & Young to interact with members of Mirvac management, particularly those in the Human Resources team. However, to ensure Ernst & Young remains independent, members of Mirvac’s management are precluded from requesting services that would be considered to be a ‘remuneration recommendation’ as defined by the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 .

During the year ended 30 June 2013, Ernst & Young provided the HRC with:

  • guidance in the review and design of executive remuneration strategy;

  • assistance in drafting of remuneration disclosures;

  • relative TSR performance calculations; and

  • market remuneration information which was used as an input to the annual review of KMP and selected executives’ remuneration.

No remuneration recommendations were provided by Ernst & Young or any other advisor during the year.

b) Remuneration principles

The Board and HRC have developed six remuneration principles to ensure remuneration continues to support Mirvac’s business strategy and create value for securityholders through all stages of the business cycle. These principles underpin remuneration decision making at Mirvac and provide a consistent framework to ensure maximum value is derived from remuneration decisions.

Remuneration at Mirvac should:

  • 1) align and contribute to Mirvac’s key strategic business objectives and desired business outcomes;

  • 2) align the interests of employees with those of securityholders;

  • 3) assist Mirvac in attracting and retaining the employees required to execute the business strategy;

  • 4) support Mirvac’s desired performance-based culture;

  • 5) encompass the concept of pay parity and be fair and equitable; and

  • 6) be simple and easily understood.

c) Market positioning

Consistent with these principles, Mirvac has adopted a market positioning strategy designed to attract and retain talented employees, and to reward them for delivering strong performance. The market positioning strategy also supports fair and equitable outcomes between employees.

Definition of market

When determining the relevant market for each role, Mirvac considers the companies from which it sources talent, and to whom it could potentially lose talent. A distinction is made between the market for business roles and the market for corporate roles.

For business roles:

  • the primary comparison group is the Australian Real Estate Investment Trust (“A-REIT”) sector, plus Lend Lease, FKP Property Group and Australand Property Group; and

  • the secondary comparison group is a general industry comparison group with a similar market capitalisation (50-200 per cent of Mirvac’s 12 month average market capitalisation).

For corporate roles:

  • the primary comparison group is a general industry comparison group with a similar market capitalisation (50-200 per cent of Mirvac’s 12 month average market capitalisation) to reflect the greater transferability of skills.

Where disclosed data is unavailable, Mirvac relies on published remuneration surveys covering relevant industries and the broader market.

Targeted market positioning

Fixed remuneration at Mirvac is positioned at the median (50th percentile), with the ability to pay within a range around the median based on criteria such as:

  • the criticality of the role to successful execution of the business strategy;

  • assessment of employee performance/potential; and

  • the employee’s experience level.

Target remuneration is comprised of fixed remuneration, STI and LTI. Target total remuneration at Mirvac is positioned at the median (50th percentile) with the opportunity to earn total remuneration up to the upper quartile (75th percentile) in the event that both the individual and the business achieve stretch targets.

d) Remuneration mix

Mirvac’s remuneration structures strive to fairly and responsibly reward employees, while complying with all relevant regulatory requirements.

A significant portion of total remuneration for executives is variable or at risk if applicable performance targets are not met or exceeded each year. As described further in section 4(b), commencing FY14, 25 per cent of STI awards to ELT members will be deferred into rights over Mirvac securities. This change was introduced to support the introduction of the incentive clawback policy, and to further align pay outcomes with Mirvac’s longer term security price performance.

In order to facilitate the introduction of STI deferrals, effective FY14, the STI targets for ELT members (other than the Managing Director) will increase by 10 per cent of fixed remuneration, while the LTI targets will reduce by 10 per cent of fixed remuneration. The STI and LTI targets for the Managing Director will remain unchanged. The following graphs compare the remuneration mix at target for the Managing Director and other Senior Executives during FY13 with the mix after the introduction of STI deferral in FY14.

Minimum Securityholding Guidelines for ELT members were introduced in FY12 in order to further weight executives’ remuneration mix towards equity. Under the Guidelines, ELT members are expected to establish and maintain a securityholding to the value of:

Level Minimum securityholding
CEO & Managing Director 100% of fxed remuneration
Other ELT members 50% of fxed remuneration

Executives covered by the Minimum Securityholding Guidelines have five years to build up their securityholding to the suggested level. As at 30 June 2013, progress towards the Minimum Securityholding Guidelines for each continuing Senior Executive was as follows:

At Mirvac, the three components of executive remuneration – fixed remuneration, STI and LTI – are weighted so as to direct executives’ focus towards building long-term value for the Group. To earn their at-risk components, executives must first create sustainable value for securityholders.

a) fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration acts as a base-level reward for a competent level of performance in an executive’s particular role. It includes cash, compulsory superannuation and any salary-sacrifice items (including FBT). The following factors are taken into account when setting fixed remuneration levels at Mirvac:

– the size and complexity of the role;

  • role accountabilities;

  • skills and experience of the individual; and

  • market pay levels for comparable roles.

The opportunity value for the at-risk components of remuneration is determined by reference to fixed remuneration, so Mirvac is conscious that any adjustments to fixed remuneration have a flow-on impact on the executive’s potential STI and LTI awards.

Mirvac regularly considers market remuneration benchmarking information and, having regard to its market positioning strategy and the desired remuneration mix, decides whether to adjust fixed remuneration for each executive. Following a review conducted during FY12, the fixed remuneration levels for two Senior Executive members were reduced effective 1 July 2012. To recognise their acceptance of reduced fixed remuneration, the affected executives received increased LTI awards in the FY13 grants, and will similarly receive an increased award in the FY14 grants. The additional awards will be “at risk” to the executive and subject to applicable performance hurdles and service conditions.

b) the stI component – how does it work?

The purpose of STI is to motivate and reward employees for contributing to the delivery of annual business performance as assessed against a balanced scorecard of measures. STI is an annual incentive based on Group, divisional and individual performance. Mirvac’s STI plan has been structured as follows:

eligibility – Executives and managers at Mirvac are eligible to participate in the STI plan based on their
responsibility for achieving annual objectives.
– Other employees are eligible for a discretionary bonus where management recognises that
exceptional individual performance has been achieved. Commencing FY14, all permanent
Mirvac employees willparticipate in the STIplan and discretionarybonuses will no longer apply.
stI pool formation – A gateway requirement of Group operating earnings being at least 90 per cent of target must
be achieved before any STI payments are made.
– If the Group operating earnings gateway is satisfed, the size of the STI pool (from which all STI
payments are made) is determined based on Group performance against a balanced scorecard
of measures linked to Mirvac’s strategic drivers.
– For FY14, the ROA measure will continue to be calculated in the same manner, but will be
relabelled as ROIC. This change will ensure consistency between the terminology used in
remuneration arrangements and that used when reporting on Mirvac’s performance.
– Effective FY14, the weighting on the balanced scorecard for the ROIC measure will increase
from 20 to 35 per cent, while the weighting for the operating earnings measure will reduce
from 50 to 35 per cent. This change refects the increased emphasis in Mirvac’s strategy on
generating returns on the assets it manages. The gateway operating earnings requirement
willcontinue to apply.
stI individual allocation – An individual’s STI target opportunity is the amount earned for ‘on target’ Group and individual
performance. STI awards can range from zero to double the STI target opportunity.
– FY13 STI targets were 75 per cent of fxed remuneration for the CEO & Managing Director
and 70 per cent for other Senior Executives. In order to facilitate the introduction of STI
deferrals, effective FY14, the STI targets for ELT members other than the Manager Director
will increase by 10 per cent of fxed remuneration. The STI target for the Managing Director
will remain unchanged.
– Once the Group STI gateway has been met, actual STI awards are scaled up or down from the
individual’s STI target based on Group and individual performance. For employees other than
the Managing Director and Finance Director, divisional performance is also taken into account
when determining the fnal STI award.
– Effective FY14, all STI awards will be calculated with reference to only Group and individual
performance (that is, divisional performance will no longer form part of the calculation
of STI awards).
payment form – For STI awards made to ELT members with respect to FY13, 25 per cent of the award will be
paid in the form of Mirvac securities, with the balance paid as cash.
– ELT members will be expected to retain the securities they receive as part of their STI award
until theysatisfythe Minimum SecurityholdingGuidelines.
stI deferral – Commencing FY14, the 25 per cent of any STI award previously paid as securities will instead
be deferred into rights over Mirvac securities, with the balance paid as cash. Half of these rights
will vest 12 months after award, with the balance vesting after 24 months.
– No dividends will be payable on the deferred rights.
– If the deferred rights vest, entitlements will be satisfed by the purchase of existing securities
on-market that are then transferred to theparticipant.
termination/ – To be eligible for an STI award the executive must be employed on the award date.
forfeiture – From FY14, the deferred portion of an STI award will be forfeited in the event that an employee
resigns or is dismissed for performance reasons prior to the vesting date. Unvested deferred
STI awards may be retained if an employee leaves due to circumstances such as retirement,
redundancy, total andpermanent disablement or death.

In light of Mirvac’s performance against these five measures for the year ended 30 June 2013, the HRC approved an STI pool equivalent to 78 per cent of target, compared to a maximum potential pool of 150 per cent of target. The resulting STI pool for FY13 was $11.2m which represented 3 per cent of Mirvac’s operating profit.

The STI pool in FY13 was smaller than the STI pool in FY12. This was largely due to Mirvac failing to meet the threshold performance levels on the ROA measure in FY13 as a result of the impairments announced during the year.

d) the ltI component: how does it work?

The purpose of LTI at Mirvac is to:

  • assist in attracting and retaining the required executive talent;

  • focus executive attention on driving sustainable long term growth; and

  • align the interests of executives with those of securityholders.

Mirvac’s LTI plans have changed over time to align with market practice. A summary of previous plans is in section 8.

Mirvac’s current LTI plan, the Long Term Performance (“LTP”) plan, was originally introduced in the year ended 30 June 2008 following approval by securityholders at the 2007 AGM. Securityholders approved an update to the LTP plan at the 2010 AGM.

Key details of the LTP plan are set out in the table below.

  • eligibility – LTP grants are generally restricted to those executives who are most able to influence securityholder value. Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the LTP plan.

  • Instrument – Awards under this plan are made in the form of performance rights. Awards of options have also been made under this plan in previous years. A performance right is a right to acquire one fully paid Mirvac security provided a specified performance hurdle is met.

  • – No dividends are paid on unvested LTI awards. This ensures that executives are only rewarded when performance hurdles have been achieved at the end of the performance period.

  • – No loans are made to participants under this plan.

  • grant value – The maximum LTI opportunities during the year ended 30 June 2013 were equivalent to 150 per cent of fixed remuneration for the CEO & Managing Director, and 100 per cent of fixed remuneration for other Senior Executives.

  • Effective 1 July 2013, the maximum LTI opportunity for Senior Executives other than the Managing Director will be reduced to 90 per cent of fixed remuneration, with a commensurate increase in STI opportunity to facilitate the introduction of STI deferral. These reductions form part of the adjustments to remuneration mix for ELT members made to facilitate the introduction of STI deferrals.

  • In determining the value of the performance rights to grant to ELT members, the HRC takes into account the annual retention value associated with participation in the Executive Retention Plan (“ERP”), a legacy LTI plan described in section 8. The fair value of rights granted under the LTP equates to the ELT member’s maximum annual LTI opportunity, less the annual value to the individual associated with their ERP participation.

  • A table included later in this section sets out full details of the performance rights granted to Senior Executives under the LTP during FY13.

4 ReMuneRAtIon CoMponents AnD outCoMes foR tHe senIoR eXeCutIVes / ContInueD

performance hurdles – The HRC reviews the performance conditions annually to determine the appropriate hurdles
based on Mirvac’s strategy and prevailing market practice. Consistent with the approach used
for the FY12 LTI grants, two performance measures apply to the LTI grants made during FY13:
50 per cent of the LTI allocation will be tested against a relative TSR hurdle and 50 per cent
against a ROE hurdle.
– Relative TSR is used because it is an objective measure of securityholder value creation and
is widely understood and accepted by the various key stakeholders. The entities against which
Mirvac’s TSR performance is compared are shown below.
– ROE is used as the second performance condition because it is aligned to Mirvac’s strategic
drivers, in particular fnancial performance and capital effciency. ROE measures how well
management has used securityholder funds and reinvested earnings to generate additional
earnings for securityholders.
– For FY14, ROIC will replace ROE as an LTI hurdle. The rationale behind this is to ensure
improved alignment between Mirvac’s business strategy, incentive scheme measures and
external market communications. Following this change, 50 per cent of the LTI allocation
will be tested against a relative TSR hurdle and 50per cent against a ROIC hurdle.
Vesting/delivery – The performance rights offered under the scheme can only be exercised if and when the performance
conditions are achieved over a three year period. If the performance rights vest, entitlements
will be satisfed by, at the Board’s discretion, either an allotment of new securities to participants
or by the purchase of existing securities on-market that are then transferred to the participant.
– At the end of the three year performance period, all performance rights that vest are
automatically converted to Mirvac securities. However, if the performance rights do not vest
at the end of the three year performance period, they will lapse. There are no further tests of
the performance conditions.
– ELT members will be expected to retain the securities they receive as a result of the vesting of
performance rights until theysatisfythe Minimum SecurityholdingGuidelines.
termination/forfeiture – If an employee resigns or is dismissed, all their unvested performance rights are forfeited. If an
employee leaves due to retirement, redundancy, total and permanent disablement or death,
the HRC determines the number of rights which will lapse or are retained, subject to both the
original performance period and hurdles.
– If a change of control event occurs, the HRC determines the number of performance rights that
vest, if any, takinginto account theperformance from the date ofgrant to the event.
Hedging – Consistent with the_Corporations Act 2001_, participants are prohibited from hedging their

For the grant made during FY13, the vesting outcome for half of the award will depend on Mirvac’s TSR performance relative to the constituents of the comparison group. To ensure that performance is measured objectively, the HRC receives the relative TSR data from an independent external consultant. The HRC then determines the number of performance rights that will vest, if any, by applying the TSR data to the following vesting schedule:

Performance level Relative TSR(percentile) Percentage of TSR-tested rights to vest
<Threshold <50th Nil
Threshold 50th 50
Threshold – maximum 50th to 75th Pro-rata between 50 and 100
Maximum 75th and above 100

The comparison group for assessing relative TSR performance consists of Mirvac’s primary market competitors, including: – the constituents of the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index;

– Lend Lease Corporation Limited;

– Australand Property Group; and

– FKP Property Group.

ROE performance hurdle

The vesting outcome for the other half of the grant made during FY13 will depend on Mirvac’s average annual ROE performance over the three year performance period. The annual ROE is defined as adjusted earnings of a financial year divided by adjusted equity of the year, where adjusted earnings is defined as:

Statutory Profit;

excluding fair value of derivatives and exchange differences of the financial year; and

including movements in asset revaluation reserve of the financial year

and adjusted equity is defined as:

Average net equity of the financial year

excluding derivative financial assets and liabilities;

excluding the cross currency swap impact in the external borrowings; and excluding non controlling interest.

The adjustments to earnings and equity are made to ensure that rewards reflect management’s contribution to Mirvac’s long term performance.

For the grant made during FY13, the vesting outcome at the end of the three year performance period for the half of the grant for which ROE is the performance measure will be based on the following schedule:

Performance level Average annual ROE Percentage of ROE-tested rights to vest
<Threshold < 7% Nil
Threshold 7% 50
Threshold – maximum 7% to 11% Pro-rata between 50 and 100
Maximum 11% and above 100

1) Value of the grant has been estimated based on the fair value as calculated at the time of the grant.

The actual LTI vested presented in the previous table is consistent with the fact that Mirvac’s relative TSR performance was at the 44th percentile relative to the comparison group over the three year performance period. As a result, none of the performance rights vested.

f) Cash retention payments

In order to ensure continuity during the Managing Director transition, the HRC approved the following one-off cash retention payments:


retention payments:
Senior Executives Amount Payment date
Andrew Butler $309,000 1 December 2013
Brett Draffen $450,000 14 August 2013
GaryFlowers $292,500 14 August 2013

g) termination payments

Cash payments

There are two types of cash payments Senior Executives may receive on termination: statutory entitlements , such as accrued annual leave and long service leave; and contractual entitlements which include severance payments, and payment in lieu of notice. The contractual severance entitlements for each of the Senior Executives are limited to 12 months fixed remuneration, consistent with the maximum amount permissible without requiring securityholder approval. The following table summarises the contractual severance entitlements for each of the executives who have ceased or will cease employment.

Senior Executives Date employment ceased/ceasing Severance entitlement
Nicholas Collishaw 31 October 2012 6 months
Justin Mitchell 1 October 2012 12 months

h) total remuneration for senior executives

The table below shows the total remuneration for Senior Executives for FY13, as well as comparative figures for FY12. The information in the table below has been calculated in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards and, accordingly, it differs from the information in the table in section 2. The main difference between the two tables is that the table in section 2 includes an LTI value based on the awards that actually vested and delivered value to Senior Executives, whereas, in accordance with the Accounting Standards, the table below includes an apportioned accounting value for all unvested LTI grants during the year (some of which remain subject to satisfaction of performance and service conditions and may not ultimately vest).

Over the last five years, Mirvac has moved towards a model which more closely links executive remuneration outcomes with Group performance.

The table below provides summary information on the Group’s earnings and securityholders’ wealth for the five years to 30 June 2013:


30 June 2013:

StatutoryEPS – basic(cents) 4.1 12.2 5.4 8.0 (65.2)

a) How the group’s performance has translated into stI awards

Mirvac only pays STI awards when operating earnings are strong. In FY09, the Group did not meet its operating earnings gateway which resulted in no STI award being made (as can be seen in the following graph). The graph also shows that, in FY11, following the formal introduction of the balanced scorecard approach, the Group STI score was lower than target. This was because, notwithstanding solid operating earnings, the Group did not meet the thresholds for ROA and customer and investor satisfaction. Similarly, while operating earnings increased from FY12 to FY13, the STI pool decreased due to a failure to meet the ROA hurdle.

Operating profit vs Group STI score

b) How the group’s performance has translated into ltI awards

The vesting of the performance rights with performance period ended 30 June 2013 was linked to Mirvac’s TSR performance relative to the comparison group of listed property entities. Mirvac achieved a TSR of 48 per cent over the three year performance period, which positioned it at the 44th percentile relative to the entities in the comparison group. As a result, none of the performance rights vested.

Mirvac’s engagement arrangements with its Senior Executives are set out in formal service agreements.

a) service agreements

Each Senior Executive has a formal contract, known as a service agreement. These agreements are of a continuing nature and have no set term of service (subject to the termination provisions). Each agreement covers:

– general duties;

– remuneration and other benefits; and

– termination of employment and termination benefits.

The termination entitlements for each Senior Executive are limited to 12 months fixed remuneration, consistent with the maximum amount permissible without requiring securityholder approval. In cases of serious and wilful misconduct, or in certain other circumstances, Mirvac can terminate an executive’s employment without notice or payment in lieu of notice.

b) summary of key terms

The key terms of the service agreements for the CEO & Managing Director and other Senior Executives are summarised below:

c) Ceo & Managing Director transition arrangements

As part compensation for the STI and LTI entitlements the CEO & Managing Director forfeited on resigning from her previous employer, a sign on payment of $530,000 was paid on commencement of employment with Mirvac, with a further amount of $87,500 payable on 1 July 2014. Under the terms of her employment contract, Mirvac also agreed to reimburse Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz for reasonable costs in connection with her relocation from London to Sydney.

7 non-eXeCutIVe DIReCtoRs’ ReMuneRAtIon

In contrast to Senior Executives remuneration, the remuneration of Mirvac’s Non-Executive Directors is not linked with performance. This is consistent with Non-Executive Directors being responsible for objective and independent oversight of the Group.

a) Remuneration strategy and components

Mirvac Limited’s Constitution provides that Non-Executive Directors may determine their own remuneration but the total amount provided to all Directors (not including the Managing Director and any other Executive Directors) must not exceed the sum agreed by securityholders at a general meeting. The maximum aggregate remuneration of $1.95m per annum was approved by securityholders at the 2009 AGM.

Non-Executive Directors have not received any fees other than those described in this section, and do not receive bonuses or any other incentive payments or retirement benefits. Consistent with this, the Mirvac Limited Chairman did not receive any additional fees for the short period he acted as Executive Chairman in FY13 during the transition in Managing Directors.

The Non-Executive Directors are reimbursed for expenses properly incurred in performing their duties as a Director of Mirvac.

The schedule of fees for Non-Executive Directors during FY13 is set out in the table below and fees are annual fees unless otherwise stated:

a) previous ltI plans closed for new grants

Mirvac’s LTI plans have changed over time to align with market practice, while continuing to support Mirvac’s business strategy. The following table sets out Mirvac’s historic LTI plans that are no longer used for new LTI grants (that is, all LTI plans other than the LTP). Further detail of each legacy plan is also provided below.

Further detail of these plans follows.

i) ERP

A small number of executives were invited to participate in the ERP. While the loans under this program were offered during FY09, some of the loan amounts were drawn down in FY10. The amounts of the loans range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 and must be secured against property or an unconditional bank guarantee. A progressively increasing forgiveness schedule allows for no more than 50 per cent of the total loan balance in total to be forgiven. The forgiveness schedule for the former Managing Director and other executives is set out below:

The repayment date of the loan is the earlier of the following:

– 12 months after the participant ceases to be employed by Mirvac; or

– 12 months after the fifth anniversary of the loan.

The annual retention value to the individual includes amounts forgiven during the year, imputed interest and related FBT. This value is offset against the value of the individual’s LTI grant in each year until the retention program is complete. As such, any retention grant replaces a portion of the LTI award. On termination, no further amounts are forgiven.

The following table presents the amounts forgiven during FY13 for participating executives, together with the outstanding balance at the end of the year:

1) Forgiveness date for Gary Flowers is 1 July. Therefore, his loan balance reduced from $875,000 to $775,000 on 1 July 2012.

2) Outstanding loan balance is payable by 31 October 2013, being 12 months after Nicholas Collishaw ceased employment with Mirvac.

3) Outstanding loan balance is payable by 1 October 2013, being 12 months after Justin Mitchell ceased employment with Mirvac.

ii) EIS

Until 2006, Mirvac’s long term variable remuneration scheme for employees was the EIS. Open to all permanent employees, allocations were made annually, were unrestricted and fully vested on allotment. Existing arrangements remain in place until all current loans are repaid.

The loans were repayable via distributions received on the securities or upon their sale. If an employee resigns or is dismissed, the outstanding loan balance must be paid when employment ceases. In the event of redundancy, retirement, total and permanent disablement or death, the employee has 12 months after employment ceases in which to repay the loan. If the loan value is greater than the value of the securities when the loan balance is due, the remaining balance is written off and the securities are forfeited.

The EIS is closed to new participants and will be run down until all loans under it are extinguished.

iii) LTIP

The LTIP was introduced in 2006 and approved by securityholders at the 2006 AGM. At this time, loan-funded incentive plans were common for entities with stapled securities due to the prevailing tax rules. Participation in the plan was open to the Managing Director, other Executive Directors, other executives and eligible employees.

Participants were offered an interest-free loan which was applied to fund the acquisition of Mirvac’s stapled securities at market value.

The term of the loan is eight years. Any loan balance outstanding at the end of the eighth year must be repaid at that time. The loan is reduced annually by applying the post-tax amounts of any distributions paid by Mirvac to the outstanding principal. The loans are interest free and non-recourse over their term.

Two performance conditions had to be met before the securities vested in full: relative TSR and EPS growth. The satisfaction of each condition was given an equal weighting in terms of the total number of securities that may vest (that is, 50 per cent of the total securities held by a participant was subject to each performance condition).

On vesting, 53.5 per cent of the original loan to fund the purchase of the vested securities was waived. The remaining balance of the loan will continue to be reduced by post-tax distributions until either the loan has been fully repaid or the eight year term expires, whichever occurs first. If a participant terminates their employment, any outstanding loans must be repaid in full immediately or the underlying securities will be forfeited.

The LTIP is closed to new participants and will be run down until all loans under it are extinguished. At 30 June 2013, 307,831 (2012: 498,074) securities remain on issue under the 2006 plan.

iv) EIP

The final loans amounts under the EIP were drawn down during FY08. The amounts of the loans ranged from $50,000 to $800,000 with Mirvac holding security over the assets purchased with the loan proceeds. A progressively increasing forgiveness schedule applied which allowed the total loan balance to be forgiven if the employee remained employed on the final forgiveness date.

The Chief Executive Officer – Development was the only remaining participant in the scheme during FY13. His outstanding balance of $200,000 was forgiven during the year, meaning that the loan is now completed.

e) options over unissued securities

During FY13, no options over Mirvac stapled securities were issued to executives under the LTIP. Options over 299,169 (2012: 391,076) Mirvac stapled securities were forfeited during the year due to either employees leaving the Group or options reaching the expiration date. As a result of these movements, there are no remaining options held over Mirvac stapled securities under the LTP plan. No securities in the Group or any of its controlled entities were issued during or since FY13 as a result of the exercise of an option over unissued securities. Dilution that may result from securities being issued under Mirvac’s LTI plans is capped at the limit set out in the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s (“ASIC”) Class Order 03/184, which provides that the number of unissued securities under those plans must not exceed five per cent of the total number of securities of that class as at the time of the relevant offer.

1 IntRoDuCtIon

This section of the Annual Report outlines Mirvac’s governance framework.

Mirvac is committed to ensuring that its systems, procedures and practices reflect a high standard of corporate governance. The Directors believe that Mirvac’s corporate governance framework is critical in maintaining high standards of corporate governance and fostering a culture that values ethical behaviour, integrity and respect to protect securityholders’ and other stakeholders’ interests at all times.

During the year ended 30 June 2013, Mirvac’s corporate governance framework was consistent with the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations released by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in August 2007 (“Recommendations”) which were updated in 2010. The table on pages 42 and 43 indicates where specific Recommendations are dealt with in this corporate governance statement. In accordance with the Recommendations, copies of the Group policies referred to in this corporate governance statement are posted to Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance.

2 pRInCIple 1: lAy solID founDAtIons foR MAnAgeMent AnD oVeRsIgHt

a) Responsibilities of the board and management

i) Primary objective of Board

The primary objective of the Board is to build long term securityholder value with due regard to other stakeholder interests. The Board does this by setting strategic direction and context, such as Mirvac’s mission, vision and values, and focusing on issues critical for its successful execution such as personnel, performance and the management of risk. The Board is also responsible for overseeing Mirvac’s corporate governance framework.

ii) Board Charter

In order to promote high standards of corporate governance and to clarify the role and responsibilities of the Board, the Board has formalised its roles and responsibilities into a Board Charter. The Board Charter sets out the Board’s accountabilities and responsibilities, including strategy and planning, personnel, remuneration, capital management and financial reporting, performance monitoring, risk management, audit and compliance, progress in relation to the Group’s diversity objectives and compliance with its Diversity Policy and Board processes and policies. The Board Charter was reviewed and updated in August 2011.

Non-Executive Directors spend approximately 25 to 30 days each year on Board activities and business, including attendance at Board meetings, Board committee meetings, strategy and budget meetings with management, visits to interstate sites and meetings with Mirvac stakeholders. During the year ended 30 June 2013, the Board visited Mirvac offices and sites in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

The Non-Executive Directors meet regularly without the presence of management, to discuss the operation of the Board and a range of other matters. Relevant matters arising from these meetings are shared with the full Board.

The CEO & Managing Director provides open and detailed reports on Mirvac’s performance and related matters to the Board at each Board meeting. The Finance Director and the Group Financial Controller also provide open and comprehensive reports on Mirvac’s financial performance and other relevant matters such as Mirvac’s debt position and the status of Mirvac’s financing facilities. The Board monitors the decisions and actions of the CEO & Managing Director and the performance of the Group to gain assurance that progress is being made towards attainment of the approved strategies and plans. The Board also monitors the performance of the Group through its Board committees.

A copy of the Board Charter is available on the Group’s website: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance.

iii) Delegation to Managing Director and senior executives The Board Charter delegates responsibility for the day-to-day management and administration of the Group to the CEO & Managing Director, assisted by the ELT. The CEO & Managing Director and senior executives of the Group operate in accordance with Board-approved policies and the Board Delegations of Authority to Management.

iv) ELT

The ELT was constituted to assist the CEO & Managing Director in the day-to-day management and administration of Mirvac. The ELT Charter sets out the ELT’s responsibilities and delegated authority from the Board via the CEO & Managing Director. The terms of the ELT Charter specify the membership of the ELT, which at 30 June 2013 comprised the CEO & Managing Director, the Chief Executive Officer Development and Group Strategy, Chief Executive Officer – Investment, Group Executive – Business Initiatives, General Counsel and Company Secretary, Group Executive – External Affairs, Group Executive – Capital and Group Executive – Services.

All senior executives have their position descriptions, roles and responsibilities set out in writing, either in their employment contract or as part of the performance management system.

v) Evaluation of performance of senior executives The performance of senior executives is reviewed on an annual cycle, with an interim six monthly review. This is part of Mirvac’s performance management system, which is in place for all Mirvac employees. The performance management system comprises a series of key performance indicators (“KPIs”) which are aligned to Mirvac’s strategic objectives. Performance is measured against the agreed KPIs and against consistency of senior executives’ behaviour against the agreed Mirvac corporate values.

On an annual basis, the Chair and the Board review the performance of the CEO & Managing Director, following a review by the HRC. The CEO & Managing Director is assessed against qualitative and quantitative criteria, including profit performance of Mirvac and achievement of other measures, including safety performance and alignment of Group performance to strategic objectives. In turn, the CEO & Managing Director reviews the performance of her direct reports against their agreed KPIs, which are reviewed by the HRC.

Further information on performance evaluation and remuneration (including assessment criteria) is set out in the remuneration report starting on page 10.

a) structure of the board

Together, the Board members have a broad range of financial and other skills, expertise and experience required to effectively oversee Mirvac’s business. The Board comprises seven Non-Executive Directors and one Executive Director (being the CEO & Managing Director). The Chair of the Board, James MacKenzie, is an independent Non-Executive Director. The skills, experience and expertise of each Director are set out on pages 08 to 09 in the Directors’ report. The Board determines its size and composition subject to the limits imposed by Mirvac’s Constitution, which provide that there be a minimum of three and a maximum of ten Directors.

The Board Charter provides that the Board should comprise:

  • a majority of independent Non-Executive Directors;

  • Directors with an appropriate range of skills, experience and expertise;

  • Directors who have a proper understanding of, and competence to deal with, current and emerging issues of the business; and

  • Directors who can effectively review and challenge the performance of management and exercise independent judgement.

At each AGM of Mirvac, one-third of the Directors, or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest one-third (but not more than one-third) must retire from office. A Director (other than the CEO & Managing Director) must retire at the conclusion of the third AGM after the Director was last elected or re-elected even if his or her retirement results in more than one-third of all Directors retiring. The CEO & Managing Director and a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Director are not subject to retirement by rotation and are not to be taken into account in determining the rotation of Directors. A Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Director only holds office until the next AGM, where they must retire and seek election by securityholders at the meeting.

The period of office held by each current Director is as follows:

Directors Appointed Last elected or re-elected at an AGM

Nicholas Collishaw (Managing Director)1 January 2006 N/A

John Peters November 2011 15 November 2012
Elana Rubin November 2010 17 November 2011

1) Nicholas Collishaw resigned as a Director on 31 October 2012.

2) Gregory Dyer was appointed to the Board on 4 September 2012 and resigned on 5 April 2013.

  • 3) Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz was appointed to the Board on 5 November 2012.

b) Chair’s responsibilities and independence

The Board Charter provides that the Chair of the Board:

  • is appointed by the Directors;

  • must be an independent Non-Executive Director; and

  • must not be the Managing Director of the Group.

The Group’s Chair is James MacKenzie, an independent Non-Executive Director. James was appointed an Executive Director for the period from 24 August 2012 to 5 November 2012. James did not receive any additional remuneration for this role.

c) board independence

The Board only considers Directors to be independent where they are independent of management and free of any other business relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered judgement, and otherwise meet the criteria for independence set out in the Recommendations. The Board has determined that material relationships include a Director:

  • having a security-holding in or being an officer of a company which holds more than five per cent of the Group’s voting stock;

  • being a principal or employee of a professional advisor to the Group or its entities whose billings exceed five per cent of the advisor’s total revenues; and

  • being a significant supplier or customer of the Group (that is amounts receivable or payable to the supplier or customer exceed five per cent of the supplier’s total revenue or customer’s total operating costs) or an officer or otherwise associated with a significant supplier or customer.

However, a qualitative assessment of whether any particular relationship could affect a Director’s independence will override these quantitative considerations. The guidelines for assessing the independence of Mirvac’s Directors and Mirvac’s materiality thresholds are contained in full in the Board Charter, which is published on Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance.

The ARCC is responsible for reviewing the independence of Directors each year. It is the Board’s view that the status of its Directors as at 30 June 2013 is as follows:

Independent non-executive Directors

James MacKenzie (Chair) Marina Darling Peter Hawkins James Millar AM John Mulcahy John Peters Elana Rubin

executive Director

Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz (CEO & Managing Director)

James MacKenzie was appointed as an Executive Director for the period 24 August 2012 to 5 November 2012 to ensure a smooth transition between Nicholas Collishaw’s departure as Managing Director and Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz’s arrival as CEO & Managing Director. In this period, James acted as Executive Chair, temporarily filling the CEO role. James did not receive any additional remuneration for this role.

Although the technical descriptions in Box 2.1 of the Recommendations have not been met, due to the unusual circumstance and short period of time of the appointment the Board is satisfied that within the spirit of the guidelines and Recommendations, James is and remains independent for all practical purposes, despite this brief period as Executive Chair.

It is therefore the Board’s view that all of its Non-Executive Directors exercised judgement and discharged their responsibilities in an unrestricted and independent manner throughout the year.

d) board committees

The Board also established special purpose committees as required during the year. Membership and terms of reference of these committees are determined for each particular purpose by the Board. Attendances at special purpose committee meetings are included in the Director attendance table on page 10 in the Directors’ report.

All Directors are entitled to attend meetings of the Board committees. Minutes of all Board committee meetings and register of resolutions made by the ELT are provided to the Board. Proceedings of each Board committee meeting are reported by the committee Chair at the subsequent Board meeting. Each committee is entitled to the resources and information it requires to discharge its responsibilities, including direct access to senior executives, employees and advisors as needed.

e) nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee was formed by resolution of the Board, in accordance with the Board Charter. The Nomination Committee is governed by the Nomination Committee Charter, which is available on Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance.

The objective of this Committee is to assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities in respect of the appointment and performance of Board members including the CEO & Managing Director.

The Nomination Committee consists of four members. Members are appointed by the Board. The current members of the Nomination committee are James MacKenzie (Chair), Peter Hawkins, John Mulcahy and Elana Rubin, each an independent Non-Executive Director. Details of meeting attendance of the Non-Executive Director members of the Nomination Committee are contained in the following table:

Number of Number of
Nomination Nomination
Committee Committee
meetings held meetings attended
Directors whilst a member whilst a member
James MacKenzie (Chair)
2
2
Peter Hawkins 2 2
John Mulcahy 2 2
Elana Rubin 2 2

The accountabilities and responsibilities of the Nomination Committee are set out in the Nomination Committee Charter. The responsibilities include reviewing NonExecutive Director remuneration, assessing the skills and necessary industry, technical or functional experience required on the Board, conducting searches for new Board members, ensuring succession plans are in place for Board members and assisting the Chair to evaluate the performance of the Board as a whole, as well as individual Non-Executive Directors.

f) Director selection process and board renewal

The Nomination Committee manages the process of recommending preferred Director candidates to the Board. The Committee reviews the skills and necessary industry, technical or functional experience required on the Board and then assesses the extent to which these are represented on the existing Board. If the need for a new candidate is identified, the Committee will conduct a search, using professional assistance if required and recommend a candidate to the Board. This process ensures a diverse range of candidates is considered.

The Board seeks to have a mix of skills and diversity across its members. The mix of skills and diversity the Board is looking to achieve in its membership is 50 per cent female membership by 2020 to reflect the communities and customers Mirvac serves, financial expertise, industry experience, technical expertise related to Mirvac’s current and future business and independence. The skills mix required will change from time to time as Mirvac’s business and environment changes.

A key component of the Board renewal and selection process is ensuring succession plans are in place for Directors. The committee ensures that succession plans are in place to maintain an appropriate mix of skills, experience, expertise and diversity on the Board.

g) board and Director performance evaluation

The performance of the Board, the Board committees and Directors is reviewed and conducted through the Chair with the assistance of an external facilitator.

The Chair provides open and transparent performance feedback to the Board, the Board committees and each individual Director, based on the discussions conducted. The Chair also seeks feedback on the performance of the Board and Directors from the CEO & Managing Director and other members of the ELT. Feedback is also sought on the Chair’s performance.

The Board performance review process for the year ended 30 June 2013 is in progress.

h) Induction

Management and the Board provide new Directors with an induction program. This includes meetings with senior executives, briefings on Mirvac’s strategy, independent meetings with Mirvac’s external auditors, provision of all relevant corporate governance material and policies and discussions with the Chair and other Directors.

i) Continuing education

Directors are provided with continuing education opportunities to update and enhance their skills and knowledge, including office and site visits to understand Mirvac’s operations, and briefings on any key changes to the industry and environment in which Mirvac operates. Directors are also encouraged to access external education including director-related-courses and industry conferences.

j) Access to information, indemnification and independent advice

The Company Secretary provides information and assistance to the Board, and Directors also have access to senior executives at any time to request any relevant information.

Under the relevant Constitutions and relevant Deeds with Directors (and only to the extent permitted by law), Mirvac indemnifies Directors against claims and liabilities incurred in their capacity as Directors of Mirvac.

The Board Charter provides that Directors may obtain independent professional advice, at the expense of Mirvac, with the consent of the Chair (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

k) Conflicts of interest

The Board Charter sets out the obligations of Directors in dealing with any conflicts of interest. Pursuant to the Board Charter, Directors are obliged to:

  • disclose to the Board any actual or potential conflicts of interest which may exist, or perceived to exist, as soon as they become aware of the issue;

  • take any necessary and reasonable measures to resolve the

  • conflict; and

  • comply with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) provisions on disclosing interests and restrictions on voting.

Unless the Board determines otherwise, a Director with any actual or potential conflict of interest in relation to a matter before the Board, does not:

  • receive any Board papers in relation to that matter; and

  • participate in any discussion or decision making in relation to that matter.

Related party transactions are governed by the Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions Policy, which is available on Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/ corporate-governance.

Mirvac’s Code of Conduct also sets down guidelines for dealing with conflicts of interest that may arise particularly for executives and other employees.

a) Responsibilities of the board and management

i) Conduct and ethics – code of conduct

Integrity is one of the Group’s core values. The Group has built a reputation for integrity and in dealing fairly, honestly and transparently with all stakeholders. Mirvac has adopted a code of conduct which espouses its core values and reflects the Recommendations in terms of the matters addressed. The code of conduct applies to the Board, executives and all other employees. A copy of the code is posted to Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance. In addition, Mirvac is committed to maintaining a high standard of ethical business behaviour at all times and requires Mirvac employees to:

  • treat other Mirvac employees with fairness, honesty and respect;

  • comply with all laws and regulations;

  • comply with Mirvac policies and procedures in force from time to time; and

  • not engage in any improper conduct.

Mirvac has an established Open Line Policy which provides a mechanism for employees to report concerns regarding potentially unethical, unlawful or improper practices or behaviours. The Open Line Policy provides protection for individuals reporting in good faith. A copy of the Open Line Policy is available on Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/ corporate-governance.

ii) Dealings in Mirvac securities

Mirvac has implemented a Security Trading Policy which covers dealings in Mirvac securities by Directors, executives and other designated employees, as well as their respective associates (“Restricted Officers”). Restricted Officers may only deal in Mirvac securities (with prior approval to do so), or in securities of other public, listed entities that are related to Mirvac, outside certain periods as identified in the Policy. Notwithstanding this, no Director, executive or other employee may deal in Mirvac securities if they are in possession of price sensitive information not available to the market. Any securities dealing in the Group by Directors is notified to the ASX within five business days of the dealing. Margin loans and any form of short term speculative dealing in Mirvac securities (including options or derivatives) are prohibited under the Policy.

In 2012, the Board established minimum Mirvac Securityholding Guidelines for Non-Executive Directors which recommend Non-Executive Directors build up to a minimum securityholding level of 25,000 Mirvac stapled securities within two years of appointment. Any purchases of Mirvac securities will be subject to the Security Trading Policy.

As noted in the remuneration report, performance rights or options relating to Mirvac securities are granted to employees in accordance with the Mirvac remuneration strategy. Consistent with the prohibition under the Corporations Act 2001 , the Policy prohibits hedging the value of both unvested awards and vested awards that remain subject to a holding lock.

A copy of the Security Trading Policy is available at Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance.

iii) Political donations

The Election Funding, Expenditure and Disclosures Act 1981 (amended in 2009) prohibits property developers from making political donations. Mirvac has in place a Political Donations Policy, which prohibits the Group and any Mirvac employee from making any political donation on behalf of the Group. During the year ended 30 June 2013, Mirvac made no political donations.

b) Diversity

Mirvac has adopted, and is fully compliant with, Recommendations 3.2 to 3.5. The Group’s Diversity Policy can be found on the website at: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance. As an early adopter of the Recommendations, the Group has continued to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to diversity. Although Mirvac recognises it is still at the early stages of maturity in its diversity journey, Mirvac understands and recognises that diversity represents the key to engaging the full potential of the talented individuals working with Mirvac. While there is still some way to go before Mirvac achieves all its diversity objectives, the steps taken in FY13 have been important and have moved the Group forward.

Mirvac’s commitment to diversity extends beyond the programs and initiatives in place; the Group strives to create a culture in which both visible and tacit differences are recognised and valued. Mirvac believes its competitive advantage lies in creating and maintaining a culture where all employees are able to contribute and fulfil their potential without artificial barriers. Mirvac’s goal is to have a workforce representative of the communities in which Mirvac operates.

The Board, the HRC and management work hand-in-hand to create a culture where individual differences are valued and respected. Mirvac has, and will continue to develop, strategies and programs to promote diversity and inclusion. During FY13, Mirvac focused on gender diversity and identified indigenous, disability, single-parent and ethnic diversity as future priorities. The Board has committed to measurable gender diversity targets and reports on progress each year. The HRC is responsible for the regular review of diversity-related activities.

The Board has appointed the Chair, James MacKenzie, as the diversity program sponsor. The CEO & Managing Director, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, chairs the Mirvac Diversity Council. The Mirvac Diversity Council regularly meets to coordinate diversity activities and reports to the HRC regarding diversity initiatives and progress.

Mirvac aspires to ensure diversity outcomes are integrated at every level of its business. With a priority focus on gender, Mirvac’s approach to diversity demonstrates its strong commitment in supporting women entering the workforce, equity in promotion and initiatives to enhance female retention.

A range of initiatives have been undertaken to directly support Mirvac’s Diversity Policy.

The key initiatives implemented, the measurable objectives, and performance against these objectives are set out in the table below:

ii) ARCC role

The objective of the ARCC is to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities in relation to the Group’s financial reporting, systems of internal controls and management of risk, internal and external audit functions, compliance obligations and processes for monitoring compliance with relevant laws and regulations and the Group code of conduct. It is the ARCC’s role to ensure that the Group’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable law. The ARCC is also responsible for making recommendations to the Board regarding the selection and appointment of the external auditor and the rotation of external audit engagement partners, as outlined in the Committee Charter and section 8(b) below.

a) Communications policy

All Mirvac ASX announcements are posted to Mirvac’s website including half year and annual reports, results releases, market briefings, notices of meetings and the Mirvac Property Compendium. Teleconferencing and webcasting facilities are provided for market briefings to encourage participation from all stakeholders, regardless of location. Mirvac is committed to rotating the location of its AGMs, to allow securityholders in locations other than Sydney to participate in person. The 2009 AGMs were held in Sydney, the 2010 AGMs were held in Brisbane, the 2011 AGMs were held in Perth and the 2012 AGMs were held in Sydney. The 2013 AGMs will be held in Melbourne. Mirvac encourages all securityholders to attend the AGMs. At those meetings, securityholders are entitled to ask questions about the management of Mirvac. Securityholders are provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of the external auditor at the meetings. The external auditor is also allowed a reasonable opportunity to answer written questions submitted by securityholders to the meetings. The AGMs are webcast each year, with access details posted to Mirvac’s website in advance of the date of the meetings.

Notices of meeting for general meetings are accompanied by explanatory notes to enable securityholders to assess and make an informed decision on the resolutions being put forward at the meetings. Full copies of notices of meetings and explanatory notes are posted on Mirvac’s website.

Securityholders who are unable to attend the meetings may vote by appointing a proxy, using the form attached to the notice of meetings or an online facility.

8 pRInCIple 7: ReCognIse AnD MAnAge RIsK

a) Risk Management policies

i) Risks

Mirvac is a leading ASX listed, integrated real estate group with activities involving real estate investment, residential and commercial development and investment management. These activities involve risks of varying types and to varying extents. Risk can relate to both threats to existing activities, as well as a failure to take advantage of opportunities that may arise. Mirvac’s objective is to ensure those risks are identified and appropriate measures are implemented to mitigate or otherwise manage the impact those risks may have on the Group’s activities.

ii) Risk Management Policy

In recognition that risk management is a key element of an organisation’s effective corporate governance processes, the Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy and associated procedures for identifying, assessing and managing Mirvac’s strategic, operational, financial and reputational risks.

The objectives of the Policy are to:

  • provide a systematic approach to risk management aligned to the Group’s strategic objectives;

  • define the mechanisms by which the Group determines its risk appetite and considers and manages risks; and

  • articulate the roles and accountabilities for the management, oversight and governance of risk.

The approach defined within this Policy is consistent with the Australian and New Zealand standard on risk management (ISO 31000: 2010). The Policy applies to all legal entities within the Group to enable an enterprise-wide approach to managing risk to be applied.

Supporting this Policy is a framework which has been prepared to guide the various business units in addressing their particular risk exposures through a structured implementation of risk management processes. Although structured, the framework maintains a sufficient degree of flexibility to allow the respective business units to adopt appropriate strategies to address their risk exposures, as risks and their management by designated controls are the responsibility of the business.

A copy of the Risk Management Policy is available at Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance.

iii) Risk management responsibility

The Board determines the overall risk appetite for the Group and has approved strategies, policies and practices to ensure that risks are identified and managed within the context of this risk appetite. The application of the Group’s policies and procedures to manage risk is ultimately the responsibility of the Board, which has in turn delegated specific authority to the ARCC (as more fully detailed in the ARCC Charter).

The ARCC advises the Board on risk management and is responsible for reviewing policies for approval by the Board and for reviewing the effectiveness of the Group’s approach to risk management. Risk management is specifically reviewed at least quarterly by the ARCC.

40 mirvac group annual report 2013

8 pRInCIple 7: ReCognIse AnD MAnAge RIsK / ContInueD

iv) Risk management function

The Board has charged management with the responsibility for managing risk within the Group and the implementation of mitigation measures, under the direction of the CEO & Managing Director supported by senior executives. A Group risk management function, led by the Chief Risk Officer, has been established to facilitate the process by providing a centralised role in advising the various business units on executing risk management and mitigation strategies, as well as consolidating risk reporting to senior executives, the ARCC and ultimately the Board.

v) Role of internal audit

The Group’s risk management systems work alongside its internal control systems to establish an effective control environment to manage business risks. Internal Audit’s role is to evaluate, assess and support continuous improvement of the Group’s internal control system and provide independent reasonable assurance to the ARCC and the Board that material risks are effectively managed. Internal Audit’s focus is on key risks and business drivers which may impact the achievement of the Group’s business objectives. The Internal Audit function is led by the Head of Internal Audit who reports to the Chair of the ARCC and has open access to the ARCC and its Chair at all times.

vi) Operational risks

The CEO & Managing Director, supported by senior executives, is responsible for implementing and maintaining effective risk management and internal control systems for operational risks that arise from the Group’s activities. To ensure consistent and effective practices are employed, each business unit has developed risk registers, detailing the key risks facing the particular business unit.

vii) Financial risks

The Board has approved principles and policies to manage financial risks arising from the Group’s operations, including its financing and treasury management activities. The ARCC reports to the Board in relation to the integrity of the Group’s financial reporting, internal control structure, risk management systems as well as the internal and external audit functions. Mirvac management also provides assurance to the Board and the ARCC as to the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems in relation to financial reporting risks.

The ARCC also oversees, and reports to various boards within the Group on, the specific risks and compliance requirements arising from the activities of the Group’s AFS licensed entities and respective registered managed investment schemes.

b) external auditor relationship

i) Role of ARCC

Mirvac’s ARCC is responsible for overseeing the relationship with the Group’s external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, including the terms of engagement of the external auditor and the scope of the external audit program each year. The ARCC is also responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance, and independence, of the external auditor and the provision of non-audit services.

ii) Auditor independence

It is the Group’s policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years, and in accordance with that policy a new audit engagement partner was introduced for the year ended 30 June 2011.

To maintain auditor independence, the Board has adopted a policy and practice protocol related to non-audit services. A copy of the Non-Audit Services Provided by the Independent External Auditors Policy is available at Mirvac’s website: www.mirvac.com/corporate-governance.

Mirvac’s Policy on Non-Audit Services provided by the Independent External Auditors specifies that Mirvac’s external auditor cannot be engaged to undertake any non-audit services for the Group that results in the external auditor:

  • creating a mutual or conflicting interest with that of the Group; – auditing their own work;

  • acting in a management capacity or as an employee;

  • providing appraisal or valuation and fairness opinions;

  • performing internal audit services; or

  • acting as an advocate for the Group.

iii) Certificate of independence

PricewaterhouseCoopers has provided the ARCC with a half yearly and annual certification of its continued independence, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , and in particular, confirmed that it did not carry out any services or assignments during the year ended 30 June 2013 that were not compatible with auditor independence.

iv) Non-audit services

In addition to the audit partner rotation and appointment requirements set out in the Group’s policy and in the Corporations Act 2001 , the Chair of the ARCC must approve prior to any non-audit service engagement of the Group’s external auditor, where the fee for the particular engagement exceeds $100,000, or if the annual cumulative fees for all non-audit services exceed, or are likely to exceed, 50% of the auditor’s annual audit fees. Below this amount, the CEO & Managing Director or the Chief Financial Officer may approve the appointment. No work will be awarded to the external auditor if the ARCC (or the Chief Financial Officer or equivalent as applicable) believes such work would give rise to a “self review threat” (as defined in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ) or would create an actual or perceived conflict of interest for the external auditor or any member of the audit team, or would otherwise compromise the auditor’s independence requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 .

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in note 37 to the financial statements.

c) Assurances

The CEO & Managing Director and the Group Financial Controller, who is one of a number of people who together are primarily responsible for financial matters in relation to Mirvac, have provided the following assurance to the Board in connection with the Group’s full year financial statements and reports, namely that in their opinion:

  • the financial records of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013 have been properly maintained in accordance with section 286 of the Corporations Act 2001 ;

  • the Group’s financial statements, and the notes to those statements, for the year ended 30 June 2013 comply with the relevant accounting standards;

  • the Group’s financial statements, and the notes to those statements, for the year ended 30 June 2013 give a true and fair view of the financial position, operational results and performance of the Group;

  • the statements referred to in the points above with respect to the integrity of the Group’s financial reports are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control which implements the policies adopted by the Board; and

  • Mirvac’s risk management and internal control system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

The effective control environment established by the Board supports this assurance provided by the CEO & Managing Director and Group Financial Controller. However, it should be noted that associates and joint ventures, which are not controlled by Mirvac, are not covered for the purpose of this assurance or the declaration given under section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

notes to the consoliDAteD FinAnciAl stAtements

1 suMMARy of sIgnIfICAnt ACCountIng polICIes

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements of Mirvac consist of the consolidated financial statements of Mirvac Limited and its controlled entities including MPT and its controlled entities.

a) Mirvac – stapled securities

A Mirvac stapled security comprises one Mirvac Limited share “stapled” to one MPT unit to create a single listed security traded on the ASX. The stapled securities cannot be traded or dealt with separately. With the establishment of the Group and its common investors, Mirvac Limited and Mirvac Funds Limited (as responsible entity for MPT) have common directors and operate as Mirvac Group with two core divisions: Investment and Development. The entities forming the stapled group entered into a Deed of Cooperation. This Deed of Cooperation allows that members of the stapled group, where permitted by law, will carry out activities with other members on a cost recovery basis, thereby maintaining the best interests of Mirvac as a whole.

The two Mirvac entities comprising the stapled group, remain separate legal entities in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , and are each required to comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of AAS and the Corporations Act 2001 . In accordance with AAS, Mirvac Limited has been deemed the parent entity of MPT. The stapled security structure will cease to operate on the first to occur of:

  • Mirvac Limited or MPT resolving by special resolution in general meeting and in accordance with its Constitution to terminate the stapling provisions; or

  • the commencement of the winding up of Mirvac Limited or MPT.

The ASX reserves the right (but without limiting its absolute discretion) to remove one or more entities with stapled securities from the official list if any of their securities cease to be stapled together, or any equity securities of the same class are issued by one entity which are not stapled to equivalent securities in the other entity or entities.

Net current asset deficiency

As at 30 June 2013, the Group is in a net current liability position of $19.6m. This includes $172.1m related to bank borrowings due to mature in January 2014. On 3 July, the Group completed the extension and increase of its unsecured syndicated bank facility and it now has no current bank borrowings. Refer to note 20 for further details. Accordingly, the Directors expect that the Group will have sufficient cash flows to meet all financial obligations as and when they fall due.

b) basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with AAS, other authoritative pronouncements of the AASB, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001 . Mirvac Group is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

i) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

The consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

ii) Historical cost convention

iii) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AAS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying Mirvac’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

iv) Early adoption of standards

The Group has elected to apply the following pronouncement to the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2012: AASB 2012–5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle . This includes applying the revised pronouncement to the comparatives in accordance with AASB 108 Accounting Policies , Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors . None of the items in the financial statements had to be restated as a result of applying this standard. However, the amendments removed the requirement to provide additional comparative information in all relevant notes where line items in the financial statements are affected as a result of a retrospective restatement (for example because of an error). Following the amendments, it is now sufficient if an entity includes a third balance sheet and explains the impact of the restatement on individual line items in the note that sets out the reasons for the restatement. The Group has no restatement to the financial statements during the year ended 30 June 2013.

v) Comparative information

Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current year amounts and other disclosures.

vi) Rounding of amounts

Mirvac is an entity of the kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100 issued by ASIC, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off to the nearest tenth of a million dollars in accordance with that class order.

vii) Goods and services tax (“GST”)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

viii) New and amended standards adopted by the Group None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the year beginning 1 July 2012 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. However, amendments made to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements effective 1 July 2012 now require the statement of comprehensive income to show the items of comprehensive income grouped into those that are not permitted to be reclassified to profit or loss in a future period and those that may have to be reclassified if certain conditions are met.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment properties.

c) principles of consolidation

i) Controlled entities

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities of Mirvac at 30 June 2013 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Controlled entities are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which Mirvac has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying an interest of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether Mirvac controls another entity. Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Mirvac. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the business combinations undertaken by Mirvac (refer to note 1(i)). Inter-company transactions and balances between Mirvac entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. NCI in the results and equity of controlled entities are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity.

ii) Associates

Associates are all entities over which Mirvac has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a holding of between 20 per cent and 50 per cent of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.

Mirvac’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends/distributions receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investments. When Mirvac’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, Mirvac does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between Mirvac and its associates are eliminated to the extent of Mirvac’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Mirvac.

As permitted by AASB 128 Investment in Associates , investments in associates within certain asset classes, including infrastructure investments, have been measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised as income or expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in which the change occurred.

iii) Joint ventures

Interests in joint venture entities and partnerships (“joint ventures”) are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint ventures are recognised in profit or loss, and the share of movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income.

Profits or losses on transactions establishing joint ventures and transactions with the joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of Mirvac’s ownership interest until such time as they are realised by the joint venture on consumption or sale. However, a loss on the transaction is recognised immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value (“NRV”) of current assets, or an impairment loss.

iv) Changes in ownership interests

The Group treats transactions with NCI that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling interests and NCI to reflect their relative interests in the controlled entity. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to NCI and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to the stapled securityholders of Mirvac.

When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purpose of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if Mirvac had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in an associate or joint venture is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

d) segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the ELT.

e) foreign currency translation

i) 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 (“functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian currency, which is Mirvac Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

ii) 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 and 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 profit or loss, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or they are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Translation differences on non monetary financial assets and liabilities held at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss using the exchange rate applicable at the date fair value is determined. Translation differences on non monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available for sale financial assets are included in a fair value reserve in equity.

iii) Foreign controlled entities

The results and financial position of entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period;

  • income and expenses for each consolidated statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rate 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 in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign controlled entity is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.

f) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. Mirvac recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

i) Development projects and land sales

Revenue from the sale of development projects and land is recognised upon settlement, which has been determined to be when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the purchaser. Other revenue from development projects such as project management fees is recognised as services are performed.

ii) Construction contracts

Agreements to develop real estate are only defined as construction contracts when the purchaser is able to specify the main elements of the design of the project. Where this is not the case, the project is treated as a development project. Revenue and expenses are recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method unless the outcome of the contract cannot be reliably estimated. The stage of completion is determined by costs incurred to date as a percentage of total expected cost. Where it is probable that a loss will arise from a construction contract, the excess of total costs over revenue is recognised as an expense immediately. When the outcome of a contract cannot be reliably estimated, contract costs are recognised as an expense as incurred, and where it is probable that the costs will be recovered, revenue is recognised to the extent of costs incurred.

iii) Rental income

Rental revenue for operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, except when an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of service rendered through the provision of the leased premises. Lease incentives offered under operating leases are amortised on a straight line basis in profit or loss.

iv) Recoverable outgoings

Recovery of outgoings as specified in lease agreements is accrued on an estimated basis and adjusted when the actual amounts are invoiced to the respective tenants.

v) Fees

Revenues from the rendering of property funds management, property advisory and facilities management services are recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers or where there is a signed unconditional contract for the sale or purchase of assets.

vi) Interest

Interest revenue is brought to account when earned, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

vii) Dividends/distributions

Dividends/distributions are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. However, the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence.

viii) Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

g) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the controlled entities, associates and joint ventures generate taxable incomes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

mirvac group annual report 2013

notes to the consoliDAteD FinAnciAl stAtements

1 suMMARy of sIgnIfICAnt ACCountIng polICIes / ContInueD

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Mirvac and its whollyowned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

i) Investment allowances

Companies within the Group may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying assets. The Group accounts for such allowances as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unclaimed tax credits that are carried forward as deferred tax assets.

h) leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where Mirvac has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short term or long term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance costs. The finance costs are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight line basis over the lease term. Refer to note 1(f)(iii).

i) business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a controlled entity comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the controlled entity. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any NCI in the acquiree either at fair value or at the NCI’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any NCI in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the controlled entity acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a discount on business combination. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

j) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using the post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of both the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s (or cash generating unit (“CGU”)) carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (CGUs). The lowest level at which Mirvac allocates and monitors goodwill is at the primary reporting segments level (refer to note 3).

k) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, 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, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.

l) trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Receivables which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Mirvac 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 the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate.

52 mirvac group annual report 2013

1 suMMARy of sIgnIfICAnt ACCountIng polICIes / ContInueD

Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the provision is recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable for which an impairment provision had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

m) Mezzanine loans

Mezzanine loans are loans to unrelated parties for predominately real estate property development. These loans are secured by a second ranking mortgage, behind that of the senior lender. Mezzanine loans are recognised initially at fair value. Collectability of loans is reviewed on an ongoing basis and those which are considered uncollectible are written off to profit or loss.

n) Inventories

Inventories comprise development projects, construction contracts and hotel stock.

i) Development projects

Development projects are valued at the lower of cost and NRV. Cost includes the costs of acquisition, development, borrowings and all other costs directly related to specific projects, including an allocation of direct overhead expenses. Upon completion of the contract of sale, borrowing costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred. Profits on development projects are not brought to account until settlement of the contract of sale.

Borrowing costs included in the cost of land are those costs that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the acquisition and development of the land had not been made. Borrowing costs incurred while active development is interrupted for extended periods are recognised as expenses.

ii) Construction contracts

Construction work in progress is stated at the aggregate of contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses and progress billings. If there are contracts where progress billings exceed the aggregate costs incurred plus profits less losses, the net amounts are presented under payables. Contract costs include all costs directly related to specific contracts and costs that are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract. The stage of completion is measured using the percentage of completion method unless the outcome of the contract cannot be reliably measured.

o) non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount, and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, financial assets and investment properties that are carried at fair value. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

A disposal group is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of a disposal group are shown as discontinued operations and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The comparatives in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income are restated to include the profit or loss of the disposal group in discontinued operations.

p) Investments and other financial assets

i) Classification

Mirvac classifies its financial assets 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. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at the end of each reporting period.

– Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. 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 expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

– 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 Mirvac provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the consolidated statement of financial position, except where the amount relates to the funding of investment structures, which are disclosed separately.

– Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that Mirvac’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available for sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those maturities less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period, which are classified as current assets.

53

mirvac group annual report 2013

notes to the consoliDAteD FinAnciAl stAtements

1 suMMARy of sIgnIfICAnt ACCountIng polICIes / ContInueD

– Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Investments are designated as available for sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

ii) Financial assets – reclassification

The Group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the Group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Group has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification. Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before the reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.

iii) Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date, being the date on which Mirvac commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and Mirvac has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When securities classified as available for sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities.

iv) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gain/(loss).

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available for sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in other comprehensive income. Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 2(b)(viii).

v) Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (“loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the assets are impaired.

– Assets carried at amortised cost

For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in note 1(l).

– Assets classified as available-for-sale

If there is objective evidence of impairment for availablefor-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 profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity instruments that were recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss in a subsequent period. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

q) Derivatives and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Mirvac designates certain derivatives as either (1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets, liabilities or firm commitments (“fair value hedges”); or (2) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (“cash flow hedges”). Mirvac documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Mirvac also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

i) Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging fixed rate borrowings is recognised in profit or loss within finance costs, together with changes in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to interest rate risk. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss within other income or other expenses. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to profit or loss over the period to maturity using a recalculated effective interest rate.

ii) Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods 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, inventories) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial cost or carrying amount of the asset or liability. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, 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 profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to profit or loss.

iii) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

r) fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of each reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by Mirvac is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current asking price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. Mirvac uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of the reporting period. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long term debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flow (“DCF”), are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to Mirvac for similar financial instruments. Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amounts of the financial instruments, which are not carried at fair value through profit or loss.

s) property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment comprises land and buildings, plant and equipment and owner-occupied administration properties. Increases in the carrying amounts arising on the revaluation of certain classes of property, plant and equipment are credited, net of tax, in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in equity. To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously recognised in profit or loss, the increase is first recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset are first recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of the remaining surplus attributable to the asset; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. Each year, the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to profit or loss and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost, net of tax, is reclassified from the property, plant and equipment revaluation surplus to retained earnings.

i) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

ii) Owner-occupied properties

Properties are classified as owner-occupied where Mirvac occupies more than 10 per cent of the total lettable area of the individual property. Owner-occupied properties are shown at fair value, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Fair values are determined by external valuers on a rotation basis with one-half of the portfolio being valued annually. Those assets which are not subject to an external valuation at the end of the reporting period are fair valued internally by management. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is revalued to fair value.

mirvac group annual report 2013

notes to the consoliDAteD FinAnciAl stAtements

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is
calculated using the straight line method to allocate their
cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over
their estimated useful lives, as follows:
– Buildings
40 years
– Plant and equipment
3-15 years
– Offce leasehold improvements
1-10 years.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (refer to note 1(j)). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss on a net basis when the risks and rewards pass to the purchaser.

t) Investment properties

i) Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held for long term rental yields and for capital appreciation. Investment properties are carried at fair value, being the amounts for which the properties could be exchanged between willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar leases, with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investment properties are revalued by external valuers on a rotation basis with approximately one-half of the portfolio being valued annually. Investment properties which are not subject to an external valuation at the end of the reporting period are fair valued internally by management. The carrying amount of the investment properties recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position includes components relating to lease incentives.

Investment properties also include properties that are under construction for future use as investment properties. These are carried at fair value unless the fair value cannot yet be reliably determined. Where that is the case, the property will be accounted for at cost until either the fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is complete. The fair value of IPUC is determined by using estimation models including DCF and residual valuations. The estimated value of future assets is based on the expected future income from the project, using current yields of similar completed properties. The remaining expected costs of completion plus risk adjusted development margin are deducted from the estimated future asset value.

ii) Investment properties under redevelopment Existing investment properties being redeveloped for continued future use are carried at fair value.

iii) Lease incentives

Lease incentives provided under an operating lease by the Group as lessor are recognised on a straight line basis against rental income. As these incentives are repaid out of future lease payments, they are recognised as an asset in the consolidated statement of financial position as a component of the carrying amount of investment properties and amortised over the lease period. Where the investment property is supported by a valuation that incorporates the value of lease incentives, the investment property is revalued back to the valuation amount after the lease incentive amortisation has been charged as an expense.

u) Intangible assets

i) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of Mirvac’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired controlled entity, associate or joint venture at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of controlled entities is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates and joint ventures is included in investments in associates and joint ventures respectively. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, identified according to operating segments (refer to note 3).

ii) Management rights

Management rights which have an indefinite useful life are not amortised but tested annually for impairment.

v) trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to Mirvac prior to the end of the year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

w) borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual drawdown of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the facility. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Mirvac has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

x) employee benefits

i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service, are recognised in other creditors and accruals in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

1 suMMARy of sIgnIfICAnt ACCountIng polICIes / ContInueD

ii) LSL

The liability for LSL vesting within 12 months of the end of the reporting period is recognised and is measured in accordance with (i) above and included in provisions. The liability for LSL vesting more than 12 months from the end of the reporting period is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of each reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates attaching, at the end of the reporting period, to national government guaranteed securities with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash flows.

iii) Security based payments

Security based payments are recognised for the following plans:

– Current LTI

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation that takes into account the exercise price, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the security price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying security, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the equity instrument. The fair value is then expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period of equity instruments.

– EEP

Security based charges relating to the securities issued under the EEP are included in profit or loss in the year in which the securities are granted with a corresponding increase to Mirvac’s contributed equity.

– Superseded plans

The fair value of equity instruments granted under the superseded LTI plan and EIS is recognised in employee benefits expenses with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the vesting period.

iv) STI

A liability for STI payable is recognised in accruals where there is a present obligation to settle the liability and at least one of the following conditions is met:

  • there are formal terms for determining the amount of the benefit;

  • the amounts to be paid are determined before the time of completion of the consolidated financial statements; or

  • past practice gives clear evidence of the amount of the obligation.

Liabilities for STI are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled.

v) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. Mirvac 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 the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

vi) Retirement benefit obligations

Contributions to the defined contribution fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

y) provisions

Provisions for legal claims, contracts and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

z) Contributed equity

Ordinary securities are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new securities or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new securities or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. In accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment , securities issued as part of the LTI plan and EIS are not classified as ordinary securities, until such time as the employee loans are fully repaid or the employee leaves Mirvac. If Mirvac reacquires its own equity instruments, for example, as the result of a security buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated securities are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

aa) Distributions

Provision is made for the amount of any distribution declared at or before the end of the year but not distributed at the end of the year.

bb) earnings per security

i) Basic earnings per security

Basic earnings per security is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to securityholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary securities outstanding during the year. In calculating basic earnings per security, securities issued under the EIS have been excluded from the weighted average number of securities.

ii) Diluted earnings per security

Diluted earnings per security adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per security to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary securities (including those securities issued under the EIS) and the weighted average number of securities assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary securities.

cc) parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Mirvac Limited, disclosed in note 40 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below:

i) Investments in controlled entities, associates and joint ventures

Investments in controlled entities, associates and joint ventures are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Mirvac Limited. Dividends/distributions received from associates and joint ventures are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

ii) Tax consolidation legislation

Mirvac Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Mirvac Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Mirvac Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements within the tax consolidated group are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Details about the tax funding agreement are disclosed in note 6(d).

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement is recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) whollyowned tax consolidated entities. Under the current income tax legislation, MPT is not liable for income tax, provided its taxable income is fully distributed to unitholders each year.

iii) Financial guarantees

Where the parent entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of controlled entities or associates and joint ventures for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

dd) new accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new and amending accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2013 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

  • i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments , AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 , AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (effective from 1 January 2015). AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2015 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the Group’s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss.

There will be no impact on the Group’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Group does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The Group has not yet decided when to adopt AASB 9.

ii) AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , AASB 11 Joint Arrangements , AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities , revised AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards and AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Transition Guidance and Other Amendments (effective 1 January 2013). In August 2011, the AASB issued a suite of five new and amended standards which address the accounting for joint arrangements, consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures. AASB 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements , and Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities . The core principle that a consolidated entity presents a parent and its subsidiaries as if they are a single economic entity remains unchanged, as do the mechanics of consolidation. However, the standard introduces a single definition of control that applies to all entities. It focuses on the need to have both power and rights or exposure to variable returns. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Returns must vary and can be positive, negative or both. Control exists when the investor can use its power to affect the amount of its returns. There is also new guidance on participating and protective rights and on agent/principal relationships. The Group has performed a detailed analysis on all its investments in joint ventures and associates and does not expect the new standard to have any significant impact on its composition. AASB 11 introduces a principles based approach to accounting for joint arrangements. The focus is no longer on the legal structure of joint arrangements, but rather on how rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement. Based on the assessment of rights and obligations, a joint arrangement will be classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, and the choice to proportionately consolidate will no longer be permitted. Parties to a joint operation will account for their share of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities in much the same way as under the previous standard. AASB 11 also provides guidance for parties that participate in joint arrangements but do not share joint control. AASB 11 will not have any impact on the amounts recognised in its financial statements. AASB 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under the two new standards, AASB 10 and AASB 11, and replaces the disclosure requirements currently found in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Application of this standard by the Group will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the Group’s investments. Amendments to AASB 128 provide clarification that an entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure its retained interest as part of ownership changes where a joint venture becomes an associate, and vice versa. The amendments also introduce a “partial disposal” concept. The Group does not expect to adopt the new standards before their operative date, which means they apply from 1 July 2013.

  • iii) AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (effective 1 January 2013). AASB 13 was released in September 2011. It explains how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The Group has reviewed its current measurement techniques and there will be no material impact as a result of the new guidance on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, application of the new standard will impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Group does not intend to adopt the new standard before its operative date, which means they apply from 1 July 2013.

  • iv) AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2013). In July 2011, the AASB decided to remove the individual KMP disclosure requirements from AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures , to achieve consistency with the international equivalent standard and remove a duplication of the requirements with the Corporations Act 2001 . While this will reduce the disclosures that are currently required in the notes to the financial statements, it will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The amendments apply from 1 July 2013 and cannot be adopted early. The Corporations Act 2001 requirements in relation to remuneration reports will remain unchanged for now, but these requirements are currently subject to review and may also be revised in the near future.

  • v) AASB 2012-3 and AASB 2012-2 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (amendments to IAS 32) and Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (amendments to IFRS 7) (effective 1 January 2014 and 1 January 2013 respectively). In December 2011, the IASB made amendments to the application guidance in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation , to clarify some of the requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. These amendments are effective from 1 January 2014. They are unlikely to affect the accounting for any of the entity’s current offsetting arrangements. However, the IASB has also introduced more extensive disclosure requirements into IFRS 7 which will apply from 1 January 2013. The AASB has made the equivalent changes to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures . The Group will provide a number of additional disclosures in relation to its offsetting arrangements. The Group intends to apply the new rules for the first time from 1 July 2013.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

2 CRItICAl ACCountIng JuDgeMents AnD estIMAtes

Judgements and estimates are continually evaluated, based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

a) Critical judgements in applying Mirvac’s accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:

i) Revenue recognition

The measurement of development revenue, which is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the purchaser, requires management to exercise its judgement in setting selling prices, given due consideration to cost inputs and market conditions. The measurement of construction revenue, which is recognised upon construction contracts on a percentage of completion basis, requires an estimate of expenses incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs.

ii) Cost of goods sold

Inventories are expensed as cost of goods sold upon sale. Management uses its judgement in determining the apportionment of cost of goods sold, through either unit entitlement or percentage of revenue, the quantum of cost of goods sold, which includes both costs incurred to date and forecast final costs, and the nature of cost of goods sold, which may include acquisition costs, development costs, borrowing costs and those costs incurred in bringing the inventories to a saleable state.

iii) Provision for loss on inventories

Mirvac is required to carry inventories at the lower of cost and NRV. Through the use of project feasibility assessments, which are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time, and incorporate both quantitative and qualitative factors, such as estimated selling rates and costs to complete, judgement is made concerning estimated NRV, which, in some cases, have resulted in the establishment of a provision.

iv) Investment properties and owner-occupied properties

Mirvac is required to make a judgement to determine whether a property qualifies as an investment property or property, plant and equipment in the cases where part of the building is occupied by the Group. Each property is considered individually. Where more than 10 per cent of the lettable space is occupied by the Group, the property is normally treated as owner-occupied and accounted for as part of property, plant and equipment.

v) Fair value estimation

Where financial assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, the fair value is based on assumptions of future events and involves significant estimates. The basis of valuation is set out in note 1(r); however, the fair values of derivatives reported at the end of the reporting period may differ if there is volatility in market rates, indexes, equity prices or foreign exchange rates in future periods.

mirvac group annual report 2013

vi) Security based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity settled securities allocated to employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. As explained in note 34, the fair value is determined by an external valuer using the bionomial simulation pricing method; this method includes a number of judgements and assumptions. These judgements and assumptions relating to security based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position but may impact the security based payment expense taken to profit or loss and equity.

vii) Recognition of deferred tax assets

The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is probable that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences can be deducted. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latest available profit forecasts. Judgement is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only when it is considered probable that they will be recovered. Recoverability is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits.

b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimations and assumptions. The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year:

i) Inventories

The NRV of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and costs to sell. Such estimates take into consideration fluctuations of price or cost directly relating to events occurring after the end of the period to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at the end of the reporting period. The key assumptions require the use of management judgement and are reviewed quarterly. During the year, Mirvac expensed $242.9m (2012: $25.0m) in relation to inventories that were carried in excess of the NRV.

ii) Impairment of goodwill

Mirvac annually tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1. Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from each CGU and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the net present value (“NPV”). The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the reporting period was $63.1m (2012: $63.1m). There was no impairment loss recognised during the year (2012: $nil). Details on the assumptions used are provided in note 18.

iii) Estimated impairment of investments accounted for using the equity method

The investments are tested for impairment, by comparing recoverable amounts (higher of value in use, and fair value less costs to sell) with the carrying amounts, whenever there is an indication that the investment may be impaired. In determining the value in use of the investment, Mirvac estimates the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from distributions to be received from the investment and from its ultimate disposal. Details of the assumptions used by management in assessing the impairment are provided in notes 29 and 30.

iv) Fair value of investments not traded in active markets

The fair value of investments not traded in an active market is determined by the unit price as advised by the fund manager. The unit price is determined by NPV calculations using future cash flows and an appropriate post-tax discount rate. The carrying value of investments not traded in an active market determined using the above techniques and assumptions is $12.6m (2012: $12.7m) and is disclosed as other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (refer to note 11).

v) Valuation of investment properties and owneroccupied properties

Mirvac uses judgement in respect of the fair values of investment properties and owner-occupied properties. Investment properties and owner-occupied properties are revalued by external valuers on a rotation basis with approximately one-half of the portfolio being valued annually. Investment properties which are not subject to an external valuation at the end of the reporting period are fair valued internally by management. The assumptions used in the estimations of fair values include expected future market rentals, discount rates, market prices and economic conditions. The reported fair values of investment properties and owner-occupied properties reflect the market conditions at the end of the reporting period. While this represents the best estimation of fair value at the reporting date, actual sale prices achieved (should the investment properties and owner-occupied properties be sold) may be higher or lower than the most recent valuation. This is particularly relevant in periods of market illiquidity or uncertainty. The carrying value at the end of the reporting period for investment properties was $6,029.6m (2012: $5,488.5m) and owner-occupied properties $306.7m (2012: $294.7m). Details on investment properties are provided in note 16 and owner-occupied properties in note 17.

vi) Valuation of IPUC

IPUC are valued at fair value. There are generally no active markets for IPUC and fair value is considered to be the estimated market price that would be paid for the partially completed property, reflecting the expectations of market participants of the value of the property when complete less deductions for the estimated costs to complete, with appropriate adjustments for risk and profit. The fair value is determined on the basis of either DCF or residual methods. Both methods require consideration of the project risks which are relevant to the development process, including but not limited to construction and letting risks. The estimated value of future assets is based on the expected future income from the project, using current yields of similar completed properties. The net loss on fair value of IPUC was $3.6m (2012: $15.8m). The carrying value of $74.9m (2012: $34.2m) at the end of the year was included in investment properties (refer to note 16).

vii) Valuation of security based payment transactions Valuation of security based payment transactions are performed using judgements around the fair value of the equity instruments on the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation. Mirvac recognises a security based payment over the vesting period which is based on the estimation of the number of equity instruments likely to vest. At the end of the vesting period, Mirvac will assess the total expense recognised in comparison to the number of equity instruments that ultimately vested.

viii) Valuation of derivatives and other financial instruments Mirvac uses judgement in selecting the appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments not quoted in an active market. Valuation of derivative financial instruments involves assumptions based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instrument. The valuations of any financial instrument may change in the event of market volatility.

ix) Estimated future taxable profits

Mirvac prepares financial budgets and forecasts on a regular basis which are reviewed, covering a five year period. Budgets and forecasts are prepared on a base case and identified new projects. These forecasts and budgets form the basis of future profitability to support the carrying of the deferred tax asset.

Mirvac’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, which are outside the control of Mirvac, including the level of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, ability to access funding, oversupply and demand conditions and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. A change in any of the assumptions used in the budgeting and forecasting would have an impact on the future profitability of the Group. For example, adverse fluctuations in interest rates, to the extent that they are not hedged or forecast, may impact Mirvac’s earnings and asset values due to any impact on property markets in which Mirvac operates.

a) Description of business segments

Management has determined the segments based on the reports reviewed by the ELT that are used to make strategic decisions. The ELT considers the business from both a product, and within Australia, a geographic perspective. Each division prepares an executive finance report on a monthly basis; this is a detailed report that summarises the following:

  • historic results of the division, using both statutory profit and operating profit;

  • future forecast of the division for the remainder of the year; and

  • key risks and opportunities facing the division.

The ELT assesses the performance of the segments based on a number of measures, both financial and non-financial, which include a measure of operating profit; the use of capital; and success in delivering against KPIs. The ELT has identified two core divisions, Investment and Development. Applying the requirements of AASB 8 Operating Segments , Mirvac has two reportable segments, and in addition one business unit, Investment Management (including MAM), which does not meet the requirements for aggregation and therefore has been shown separately:

i) Investment

The division is made up of MPT and a small number of assets held by the Company which holds investments in properties covering the retail, office, industrial and hotel sectors throughout Australia, held for the purpose of producing rental income, predominately through the Trust, its controlled trusts and corporate entities holding investment properties. Income is also derived from investments in associates including Mirvac Industrial Trust.

ii) Hotel Management

Hotel Management was responsible for management of hotels across Australia and New Zealand. The Hotel Management business was sold on 22 May 2012, as a result only the comparatives are shown.

iii) Investment Management

MIM manages listed and unlisted property funds on behalf of retail and institutional investors. MIM has been disposing of non-core funds over the past three years in line with the Group’s strategy to focus on wholesale investor partnerships, providing capital for the Group’s two core divisions, Investment and Development. MIM also includes MAM. MAM manages assets on behalf of MPT and external property owners across the real estate spectrum.

iv) Development

The division’s primary operations are property development and construction of residential, office, industrial and retail development projects throughout Australia. In addition, project management fees are received from the management of development and construction projects on behalf of associates, joint ventures and residential development funds.

b) Inter-segment transfers

Segment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. Such transfers are on an arm’s length basis and eliminated on consolidation.

c) elimination

The elimination segment includes adjustment to eliminate trading between segments and to transfer balances to reflect correct disclosure of items on a consolidated basis.

d) Comparative information

When necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure in current year amounts and other disclosures.

e) operating profit

Operating profit is a financial measure which is not prescribed by AAS and represents the profit under AAS adjusted for specific non-cash items and significant items which management considers to reflect the core earnings of the Group.

f) segment liabilities

The amounts provided to the ELT with respect to total liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the consolidated financial statements. These liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment. The Group’s borrowings and derivative financial instruments are not considered to be segment liabilities but rather are managed by the Mirvac Group Treasury.

g) geographical and customer analysis

Mirvac operates predominately in Australia with investments in the United States of America. Materially, all revenue is derived in Australia and all assets are in Australia. No single customer in the current or prior year provided more than 10 per cent of the Group’s revenue.

1) During the period, Mirvac has assessed the carrying value of its net deferred asset position and determined that it is prudent to de-recognise part of its net deferred tax asset position on the basis that it may not be considered recoverable with a sufficient degree of certainty. Refer to note 2(a)(vii).

d) tax consolidation legislation

Mirvac Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003 (refer to note 1(cc)). On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liability of the wholly owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Mirvac Limited. The entities within the tax consolidated group have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly owned entities fully compensate Mirvac Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Mirvac Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Mirvac Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly owned entities’ financial statements. The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised as current inter-company receivables/payables.

Mirvac did not have amounts written off (2012: $1.9m) for impaired trade receivables during the current year. This loss has been applied against the provision for impairment of receivables. The creation and release of the provision for impaired receivables have been included in impairment of loans in profit or loss where these relate to the mezzanine loans, and have been included in other expenses in profit or loss where these relate to the impairment of trade receivables.

d) Credit risk

Receivables consist of a large number of customers. Mirvac does not have any significant credit risk exposure to a single customer or groups of customers. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of customers and, where appropriate, a provision for impairment of receivables is raised. Mirvac holds collateral in certain circumstances which takes the form of bank guarantees, security deposits, personal guarantee or a mortgage over property until completion. The ageing of receivables is detailed below:

Under certain circumstances, Mirvac has not provided for all balances past due as it has been determined that there has not been a significant change in credit quality at the end of the reporting period based upon the customer’s payment history and analysis of the customer’s financial accounts. The Group holds collateral over receivables of $109.0m (2012: $120.9m). The fair value of the collateral held equals the fair value of the receivables for which the collateral is held. The terms of the collateral are if payment due is not received per the agreed terms, Mirvac is able to claim the collateral held.

e) Interest rate risk exposures

a) Inventories expense

Inventories expensed as cost of property development and construction during the year ended 30 June 2013 amounted to $703.7m (2012: $804.7m). For inventories that were carried in excess of their NRV, an amount of $242.9m (2012: $25.0m) was expensed as provision for loss on inventories. This resulted from a realignment of future assumptions with current market conditions. The majority of projects are located in Queensland and in Western Australia.

b) Current and non-current inventories

The disclosure of inventories as either current or non-current is determined by the period within which they are expected to be realised. Inventories disclosed as current are expected to be realised within 12 months; all other inventories are expected to be realised beyond 12 months from the reporting date.

Changes in fair values of other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded as a gain or loss on financial instruments in profit or loss.

a) unlisted securities

Unlisted securities are traded in inactive markets. The fair value of investments that are not traded in an active market is determined by the unit price as advised by the trustee of the fund. Unlisted securities held in the Group are units in JF Infrastructure Yield Fund. James Fielding Trust, a wholly-owned Group entity, owns 12.9m units (22 per cent) of this entity. The fair value of the security is determined based on the value of the underlying assets held by the fund. The assets of the fund are subject to regular external valuations. These valuations are based on discounted net cash inflows from expected future income and/or comparable sales of similar assets. Appropriate discount rates determined by the external valuer are used to determine the present value of the net cash inflows based on a market interest rate adjusted for the risk premium specific to each asset. The fair value is determined using valuation techniques that are not supported by prices from an observable market; so, the fair value recognised in the consolidated financial statements could change significantly if the underlying assumptions made in estimating the fair values were significantly changed.

b) price risk exposures

Refer to note 36 for Mirvac’s exposure to price risk on other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

c) Valuation basis

i) Investment properties

Investment properties are carried at fair value. Valuation methods used to determine the fair value include market sales comparison, DCF and capitalisation rate (“CR”). The fair value for a property may be determined by using a combination of these and other valuation methods.

Market sales comparison: The sales comparison approach utilises recent sales of comparable properties, adjusted for any differences including the nature, location and lease profile, to indicate the fair value of a property. Where there is a lack of recent sales, activity adjustments are made from previous comparable sales to reflect changes in economic conditions.

DCF: DCF projections derived from contracted rents, market rents, operating costs, lease incentives, lease fees, capital expenditure and future income on vacant space are discounted at a rate to arrive at a value. The discount rate is a market assessment of the risk associated with the cash flows, and the nature, location and tenancy profile of the property relative to returns from alternative investments, CPI rates and liquidity risk. It is assumed that the property is sold at the end of the investment period at a terminal value. The terminal value is determined by using an appropriate terminal CR. Mirvac’s terminal CR is in the range of an additional nil to 75 basis points above the respective property’s CR.

CR: An assessment is made of fully leased net income based on contracted rents, market rents, operating costs and future income on vacant space. The adopted fully leased net income is capitalised in perpetuity from the valuation date at an appropriate CR. The CR reflects the nature, location and tenancy profile of the property together with current market investment criteria, as evidenced by current sales evidence. Various adjustments, including incentives, capital expenditure, and reversions to market rent, are made to arrive at the property value.

ii) IPUC

There are generally no active markets for IPUC; therefore, a lack of comparable transactions for IPUC usually requires the use of estimation models. The two main estimation models used to value IPUC are residual and DCF valuations. The residual method of determining the value of a property uses the estimated total cost of the development, including construction and associated expenditures, finance costs, and an allowance for developer’s risk and profit is deducted from the end value of the completed project. The resultant figure is then adjusted back to the date of valuation to give the residual value.

There are no non current assets pledged as security by the Group.

1) Depreciation expenses for the year ended 30 June 2012 include $4.8m which was included in the results of the discontinued operations.

A reconciliation of the revaluation increment/(decrement) and the asset revaluation reserve is shown in note 25(d).

a) Valuations of owner-occupied properties

Owner-occupied properties are revalued by external valuers on a rotation basis with approximately one-half of the portfolio (including owner-occupied buildings) being valued annually. The basis of valuation of owner-occupied properties is fair value, being the amount for which assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The valuation basis is consistent with the approach taken for investment properties (refer to note 16(c)). Discount rates range from 8.75 to 10.25 per cent (2012: 9.00 to 10.00 per cent) and capitalisation rates range from 6.00 to 9.75 per cent (2012: 6.50 to 9.00 per cent). The revaluation increment net of applicable deferred income taxes was credited to the asset revaluation reserve in equity (refer to note 25(b)).

1) Management rights are primarily held in relation to funds established or rights established by entities acquired by Mirvac. These funds are considered to be open-ended and therefore have no expiry. The Group also holds strategic stakes in these funds in order to protect its interests.

b) Key assumptions used for value in use calculations for goodwill and other intangible assets

The recoverable amount of CGUs is determined using the higher of fair value less cost to sell, and their value in use. The value in use calculation is based on financial budgets and forecasts approved by management covering a five year period. For the Investment Management CGU, cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. For the Investment CGU, no forecast growth rate is assumed as the value in use calculations are based on forecast cash flows from existing projects and investment properties. The growth rate has been adjusted to reflect current market conditions and does not exceed the long term average growth rate for the business in which the CGU operates. The discount rates used are post-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which they operate. A terminal growth rate of three per cent has also been applied.

  • 1) Weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period.

2) The value in use calculation is based on financial budgets and forecasts approved by management covering a five year period. No forecast growth rate is assumed as the value in use calculations are based on forecast cash flows from existing projects and investment properties.

The recoverable amount of intangible assets exceeds the carrying value at 30 June 2013. Management considers that for the carrying value to exceed the recoverable amount, there would have to be unreasonable changes to key assumptions. Management considers the chances of these changes occurring as unlikely.

c) Impairment of goodwill

There was no impairment of goodwill (2012: $nil).

d) Impairment of intangible assets

There was no impairment of management rights (2012: $nil). Management rights are primarily held in relation to funds established or rights established by entities acquired by Mirvac. These funds are considered to be open-ended and therefore have no expiry.

None of the classes above is readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

i) Included in consolidated statement of financial position

The fair value for borrowings less than 12 months to maturity is deemed to equal the carrying amounts. All other borrowings are discounted if the effect of discounting is material. The fair value of borrowings is based upon market prices where a market exists or by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current interest rates for liabilities with similar risk profiles.

ii) Not included in consolidated statement of financial position

The Group has potential financial liabilities which may arise from certain contingent liabilities as disclosed in note 31. No material losses are anticipated in respect of those contingent liabilities and the fair value disclosed is the estimated amount which would be payable by Mirvac as consideration for the assumption of those contingent liabilities by another party.

d) Changes to financing arrangements

c) nature and purpose of reserves

i) Asset revaluation reserve

The asset revaluation reserve is used to record increments and decrements on the revaluation of owner-occupied assets. However, any decrement in excess of previous increments is expensed to profit or loss.

ii) Capital reserve

The capital reserve was prior to the introduction of IFRS, used to record the net revaluation increment or decrement on disposal of investment properties. The balance of the reserve may be transferred to retained earnings and used to satisfy distributions to securityholders.

iii) Foreign currency translation reserve

Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled operations of the Group are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve, as described in note 1(e).

iv) Security based payment reserve

The security based payment reserve is used to recognise the fair value of securities issued under LTI plans, securities issued under the EEP and any deficit resulting from the sale of securities under LTI plans.

v) NCI reserve

Transactions with NCI that do not result in a loss of control are accounted through equity. The NCI reserve is used to record the difference between the fair value of the NCI acquired or disposed and any consideration paid/received.

d) Reconciliation of movements between property, plant and equipment to asset revaluation reserve

c) entities subject to class order

Certain wholly-owned companies incorporated in Australia are permitted to be parties to a deed of cross guarantee under which each company guarantees the debts of the others. By entering into the deed, the wholly-owned companies can be relieved from the requirements among other things to prepare a financial report and directors’ report under class order 98/1418 (as amended) issued by ASIC. The entities included at 30 June 2013 are listed in note 28(a). Companies identified in note 28(a) as being included in the class order, are a “closed group” for the purpose of the class order, and as there are no other parties to the deed of cross guarantee that are controlled by the parent entity, they also represent the “extended closed group”. As a condition of the class order, the companies have entered into a deed of cross guarantee. The effect of the deed is that Mirvac Limited has guaranteed to pay any deficiency in the event of winding up of a company in the closed group. The companies in the closed group also have given a similar guarantee in the event that Mirvac Limited is wound up. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income, a summary of movement in consolidated retained earnings and the consolidated statement of financial position for the year ended 30 June 2013 of the entities which are members of the closed group are as follows:

d) Impairment of investments

In the year ended 30 June 2013, $12.3m (2012: $nil) of impairment provision was taken against the carrying value of the investments in BL Developments Pty Limited as a result of soft market conditions. The impairment loss was recognised within the ‘Impairment of investments including associates and joint ventures’ category within the SoCI. Investments in joint ventures are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for any impairment and written off to the extent that the future benefits are no longer probable and do not support the carrying value of the investment.

Performance guarantees. The Group has provided guarantees to third parties in
respect of the performance of entities within the Group. No material losses are anticipated
in respect of these contractual obligations.
2.4 2.5
Claims for damages in respect of injury sustained due to health and safety issues have been
made during the year. The potential effect of these claims indicated by legal advice is that
if the claims were to be successful against the Group, theywould result in a liability.
1.6 6.6

As part of the ordinary course of business of the Group, disputes can arise with suppliers, customers and other third parties. Where there is a present obligation, a liability is recognised. Where there is a possible obligation, which will only be determined by a future event and it is not considered probable that a liability will arise, they are disclosed as a contingent liability. Where the possible obligation is remote, no disclosure is given. The Group does not provide details of these as to do so may prejudice the Group’s position.

b) guarantees

For information about guarantees given by entities within the Group, including the parent entity, refer to notes 28 and 40.

33 KMp

a) Determination of KMp

KMP are those people with authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly.

Mirvac has previously considered all members of the Executive Leadership Team (“ELT”) to be KMP. However, during the year ended 30 June 2013 the composition of ELT expanded significantly to include new business heads, as well as heads of support functions. Under the expanded structure, the new ELT members who head business functions are considered KMP, while the heads of support functions are not considered to be KMP.

For Mirvac, the KMP are therefore:

– the CEO & Managing Director, Finance Director and members of the ELT who head a business (“Senior Executives”); and – Non-Executive Directors.

For the year ended 30 June 2013, the Senior Executives were:

– Non-Executive Directors.
For the year ended 30 June
2013, the Senior Executives were:

  • i) Securities purchased under the LTIP, EIS and former James Fielding Group (“JFG”) EIS are funded by interest-free employee loans. The loans are non-recourse to the employee in the event of a shortfall on disposal. The securities issued are held as security until the loans are repaid.

  • ii) Loans made under the employee loan scheme (the EIP) are interest free, repayable over periods from six to 10 years, and repayable in full upon cessation of employment. The loans are secured by mortgage over the property or securities purchased. Loans issued under the employee loan scheme are subject to a periodic forgiveness schedule and may also be subject to terms set out in service agreements.

  • iii) Securities issued under the former JFG EIS and converted to Mirvac securities are interest bearing employee loans. The loans are non-recourse in the event of disposal. The stapled securities issued are held as security until the loans are repaid.

iv) Interest not charged excludes loans issued under the LTIP and EIS.

v) During the year ended 30 June 2009, several employees were invited to participate in an interest-free loan program (the ERP) which has since been closed to further entry, consistent with Mirvac’s intention to eliminate the use of loan plans as part of employee reward. The amounts of the loans range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 and must be secured against property or unconditional bank guarantee. A progressively increasing forgiveness schedule allows for no more than 50 per cent of the total loan balance to be forgiven after five years of continued service. The repayment date of the loan is the earlier of 12 months after the participant ceases to be employed by Mirvac, or 12 months after the fifth anniversary of the loan. Interest is payable for any period in which the loan remains unpaid after the repayment date.

Other than loans forgiven to specified executives as disclosed in the remuneration report, no write-downs or provision for impairment for receivables have been recognised in relation to any loans made to Directors or specified executives.

e) other transactions with KMp

There are a number of transactions between KMP and the Group. The terms and conditions of these transactions are considered to be no more favourable than in similar transactions on an arm’s length basis. On occasions, Directors and other KMP may purchase goods and services from Mirvac. These purchases are on terms and conditions available to Mirvac employees generally. As set out in the Directors’ report, a number of the Directors of Mirvac are also Directors of other companies. On occasions, the Group may purchase goods and services from or supply goods and services to these entities. These transactions are undertaken on normal commercial terms and conditions and the Director or other KMP does not directly influence these transactions.

b) superannuation commitments

Mirvac offers employees based in Australia as part of their remuneration, the ability to participate in a staff superannuation plan managed by AustralianSuper. Employees are able to choose whether to participate in this plan or a qualifying plan of their choice. The plan provides lump sum benefits on retirement, disability or death for employees who are invited by their employer to join the plan. The plan is a defined contribution plan, which complies with relevant superannuation requirements.

c) employee security issues

The total of all securities issued under all employee security schemes is limited to five per cent of the issued securities of the stapled group in any five year period.

d) ltI plans

i) EEP

The EEP is designed to encourage security ownership across the broader employee population. It provides eligible employees with $1,000 worth of Mirvac securities at nil cost. The plan is open to Australian based employees with more than 12 months of continuous service, who do not participate in other Mirvac equity plans.

Securities acquired under this plan are subject to a restriction on disposal until the earlier of three years after acquisition, or cessation of employment with the Group. Otherwise, holders enjoy the same rights and benefits as other holders of Mirvac’s stapled securities. On termination, employees retain any securities granted to them. At 30 June 2013, 5,418,170 stapled securities (2012: 4,977,254) had been issued to employees under the EEP.

ii) LTP – current plan

The LTP was originally introduced in the year ended 30 June 2008 following approval by securityholders at the 2007 AGM. Securityholders approved an update to the LTP at the 2010 AGM. The purpose of the LTP is to drive performance, retain executives and facilitate executive security ownership.

LTP grants are generally restricted to the executives who are most able to influence securityholder value. Executives are eligible, at the discretion of the HRC, to participate in the LTP. Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the LTP. Awards under this plan are made in the form of performance rights. Awards of options have also been made under this plan in previous years. A performance right is a right to acquire one fully paid stapled security in Mirvac provided a specified performance hurdle is met. No loans are made to participants under this plan.

The Board reviews the performance conditions annually to determine the appropriate hurdles based on Mirvac’s strategy and prevailing market practice.

This year, the Board determined, on the recommendation of the HRC, the vesting outcome for half of the LTP awards made in the year ended 30 June 2013 will depend on Mirvac’s TSR performance relative to the constituents of the comparison group, with the other half linked to Mirvac’s return on equity performance. TSR was chosen given that it is an objective measure of securityholder value creation, and given its wide level of understanding and acceptance by the various key stakeholders. ROE was chosen as the second performance condition because it is aligned to Mirvac’s strategic drivers, in particular financial performance and capital efficiency. At 30 June 2013, 23,338,483 (2012: 33,395,149) performance rights and nil (2012: 299,169) options had been issued to participants under the LTP. The number of issued rights and options are net of adjustments due to forfeiture of rights and options as a result of termination of employment. A total of 3,435,582 performance rights (2012: 72,727) and nil options (2012: nil) vested during the year ended 30 June 2013.

iii) Superseded plans

There are four old plans now closed for new grants with the introduction of the LTP:

– ERP

A small number of senior executives were invited to participate in the ERP. While the loans under this program were offered during the year ended 30 June 2009, some of the loan amounts were drawn down in the year ended 30 June 2010. The amounts of the loans range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 and must be secured against property or unconditional bank guarantee. A progressively increasing forgiveness schedule allows for no more than 50 per cent of the total loan balance in total to be forgiven.

– EIS

Until 2006, Mirvac’s long-term variable remuneration scheme for employees was the EIS. Open to all permanent employees, allocations were made annually, were unrestricted and fully vested on allotment. Existing arrangements remain in place until all current loans are repaid.

The loans were repayable via distributions received on the securities or upon their sale. If an employee resigns or is dismissed, the outstanding loan balance must be paid when employment ceases. In the event of redundancy, retirement, total and permanent disablement or death, the employee has 12 months after employment ceases in which to repay the loan. If the loan value is greater than the value of the securities when the loan balance is due, the remaining balance is written off and the securities are forfeited.

– LTIP

The LTIP was introduced in 2006 and approved by securityholders at the Group’s 2006 AGM. At this time, loan-funded incentive plans were common for entities with stapled securities due to the prevailing tax rules. Participation in the plan was open to the Managing Director, other Executive Directors, other executives and eligible employees. Participants were offered an interest-free loan which was applied to fund the acquisition of Mirvac’s stapled securities at market value. The term of the loan is eight years. Any loan balance outstanding at the end of the eighth year must be repaid at that time. The loan is reduced annually by applying the post-tax amounts of any distributions paid by Mirvac to the outstanding principal. The loans are interest free and non-recourse over their term.

Two performance conditions had to be met before the securities vested in full: Relative TSR and EPS growth. The satisfaction of each condition was given an equal weighting in terms of the total number of securities that may vest (that is, 50 per cent of the total securities held by a participant was subject to each performance condition). On vesting, 53.5 per cent of the original loan to fund the purchase of the vested securities was waived. The remaining balance of the loan will continue to be reduced by post-tax distributions until either the loan has been fully repaid or the eight year term expires, whichever occurs first. If a participant terminates their employment, any outstanding loans must be repaid in full immediately or the underlying securities will be forfeited.

– EIP

The final loans under the EIP were offered during the year ended 30 June 2006. The amounts of the loans range from $50,000 to $800,000 with Mirvac holding security over the assets purchased with the loan proceeds. A progressively increasing forgiveness schedule applied which allowed the total loan balance to be forgiven if the employee remained employed on the final forgiveness date. The total outstanding loan balance under the EIP was $200,000 as at 1 July 2012. This amount was forgiven in accordance with the loan agreement during the year ended 30 June 2013. There are no outstanding loan amounts under the EIP as at 30 June 2013 and no further loans will be made under the EIP.

Fair value at grant date has been independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the securities, the current price of the underlying securities, the expected volatility of the security price, the expected dividend/distribution yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the security. The fair value of the security based payment expense is calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation. Assumptions used for the fair value of security based payment expense are as follows:

Mirvac’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Mirvac’s overall risk management program seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of Mirvac. The Group uses various derivative financial instruments to manage certain risk exposures, specifically in relation to interest rate and foreign exchange risks on borrowings. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes and are not held for trading or speculative purposes. Financial risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (“Mirvac Group Treasury”) under policies approved by the Board. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as mitigating foreign exchange, interest rate and credit risks, use of derivative financial instruments and investing excess liquidity. Mirvac Group Treasury identifies, evaluates, reports and manages financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units in accordance with Board policy.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

Derivative fnancial liabilities 21 73.8 185.6
2,939.8 2,429.1

The carrying values of trade receivables (less impairment provision) and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. Derivative financial assets and liabilities are valued based upon valuation techniques.

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.

i) Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk refers to the change in value between foreign currencies and the Australian dollar. This change affects the assets and liabilities of Mirvac which are denominated in currencies other than Australian dollars. Mirvac foreign exchange risks arise mainly from:

– borrowings denominated in currencies other than Australian dollars which are predominately US dollars;

  • investments in offshore operations which are located in the United States and New Zealand;

  • receipts and payments which are denominated in other currencies; and

  • foreign exchange risk on derivatives.

100 mirvac group annual report 2013

36 fInAnCIAl RIsK MAnAgeMent / ContInueD

Mirvac manages its foreign exchange risk for its assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies by borrowing in the same currency as that in which the offshore business operates to form a natural hedge against the movement in exchange rates. Mirvac manages its foreign currency note borrowings with cross currency swaps which swap the obligations to pay fixed or floating US dollar principal and interest payments to floating Australian dollar interest payments. Cross currency swaps in place cover 100 per cent of the US dollar denominated note principal outstanding. These swaps have the same maturity profiles as the underlying note obligations. This removes exposure to interest rates in the US market while creating floating exposures in the domestic market that have been managed to meet Mirvac’s target interest rate profile. The foreign currency exchange rate has been fixed for all swaps to A$/US$ 0.7456.

At 30 June 2013, the notional amounts and periods of expiry of the cross currency swap contracts for the Group were:

2013 2012
$m $m
Between three to four years 368.9
Between four to fve years 368.9
Greater than fveyears 134.1 134.1
503.0 503.0

All swaps require settlement on a quarterly basis. Translation gains or losses on the net investment in foreign operations are recorded through the foreign currency translation reserve.

sensitivity analysis

Cross currency swaps are in place to manage the foreign exchange exposure on the US dollar debt. These swaps have the same notional principal and maturity profiles as those of the underlying note obligations. Based upon current exposures, there is no material foreign exchange sensitivity in Mirvac.

ii) Interest rate risk

Mirvac’s interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings, cash and cash equivalents (refer to note 38(a)), receivables and derivatives.

borrowings

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose Mirvac to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose Mirvac to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s policy is to have a minimum of 40 per cent and a maximum of 80 per cent of borrowings subject to fixed or capped interest rates. This policy was complied with at the end of the year. Mirvac manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using interest rate derivatives thereby maintaining fixed rate exposures within the policy range. Such interest rate derivatives have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed or capped rates or vice versa.

The following table sets out Mirvac’s net exposure to interest rate risk by maturity periods. Exposures arise predominately from liabilities bearing variable interest rates as the Group intends to hold fixed rate liabilities to maturity.

Derivative instruments used by Mirvac

Mirvac enters into a variety of derivative instruments, although most commonly it uses interest rate swap agreements. Under the swap agreements, Mirvac agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (mainly quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.

Aside from swap agreements, bought and/or sold option agreements are used which allow rates to float between certain ranges and bank cancellable agreements are used which allow the relevant bank to cancel the agreement if certain conditions arise, the benefit of which is lower fixed rates. These derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value in accordance with AASB 139. Derivatives currently in place cover approximately 50.1 per cent (2012: 64.8 per cent) of the loan principal outstanding. The fixed interest rates range between 3.00 and 6.40 per cent (2012: 4.70 and 6.40 per cent) per annum. At 30 June 2013, the notional principal amounts, interest rates and periods of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts held by the Group were as follows:

sensitivity analysis

Mirvac’s interest rate risk exposure arises from long term borrowings, cash held with financial institutions and receivables. Based upon a 50 (2012: 50) basis point increase or decrease in Australian interest rates, the impact on profit after tax has been calculated taking into account all underlying exposures and related derivatives. This sensitivity has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term interest rates.

The impact on the Group’s result of a 50 (2012: 50) basis point increase in interest rates assuming no interest is capitalised would be an increase in profit of $3.8m (2012: increase of $10.2m). The impact on Mirvac’s result of a 50 (2012: 50) basis point decrease in interest rates would be a decrease in profit of $3.7m (2012: decrease of $9.5m). The impact on the Group of a movement in US dollar interest rates would not be material to the profit of the Group.

The interest rate sensitivities of the Group vary on an increase/decrease of 50 basis point movement in interest rates due to the interest rate optionality of a small number of derivatives.

102 mirvac group annual report 2013

36 fInAnCIAl RIsK MAnAgeMent / ContInueD

iii) Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk arising from an equity investment (refer to note 11). The equity investment is held for the purpose of selling in the near term. As this investment is not listed, the fund manager provides a unit price each six months. At the end of the year, if the unit price had been five per cent higher or lower, the effect on profit for the year would have been $0.6m (2012: $0.6m) higher or lower. This investment represents less than one per cent of Mirvac’s net assets and therefore represents minimal risk to the Group.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligations under a financial instrument and will cause a financial loss. Mirvac has exposures to credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, receivables and derivative financial assets; the maximum exposure to credit risk is based on the total value of the Group’s financial assets, net of any provision for impairment, as shown in note 8. To help manage this risk, the Group has a policy for establishing credit limits for the entities dealt with which is based on the size or previous trading experience of the entity. Based upon the size or previous trading experience, Mirvac may require collateral, such as bank guarantees in relation to investment properties, leases or deposits taken on residential sales.

Mirvac may also be subject to credit risk for transactions which are not included in the consolidated statement of financial position, such as when Mirvac provides a guarantee for another party. Details of the Group’s contingent liabilities are disclosed in note 31. The credit risk arising from derivatives transactions and cash held with financial institutions exposes the Group if the contracting entity is unable to complete its obligations under the contracts. Mirvac’s policy is to spread the amount of net credit exposure among major financial institutions which are rated the equivalent of A or above from the major rating agencies. Mirvac’s net exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread among approved counterparties. With regard to mezzanine loans, Mirvac monitors all loans advanced on a continuous basis. Formal procedures are in place, which include the regular review of each loan’s status, monitoring of compliance with loan terms and conditions, consideration of historical performance and future outlook of borrowers for realisation. These procedures include the process for the realisation of loans, review and determination of the appropriate carrying value of investments and regular dialogue with the borrowers to ensure material issues are identified as they arise. Refer to note 8 for the management of credit risk relating to receivables.

c) liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities, the ability to close out market positions and the ability to raise funds through the issue of new securities through various means including placements and/or Mirvac’s dividend/distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”). Mirvac prepares and updates regular forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure that committed credit lines are kept available in order to take advantage of growth opportunities. Surplus funds are generally only invested in highly liquid instruments.

At 30 June 2013, Mirvac has a strong liquidity position with only $175.1m borrowings falling due within the next 12 months and available undrawn facilities of $387.9m. On 3 July 2013, the Group completed the extension and increase of its unsecured syndicated bank facility. Refer to note 20 for further details.

d) Capital risk

Mirvac’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns to securityholders and meet its strategic objectives without increasing its overall risk profile.

In assessing the optimal capital structure, the Group seeks to maintain an investment grade credit rating of BBB to reduce the cost of capital and diversify its sources of debt capital.

At 30 June 2013, the gearing ratio (net debt including cross currency swaps to total tangible assets less cash) was 23.6 per cent (2012: 22.7 per cent). The Group’s target gearing ratio is 20 to 30 per cent. This may be exceeded in order to take advantage of appropriate opportunities, such as acquisitions as they arise. To manage the Group’s gearing ratio, a number of mechanisms are available. These may include adjusting the amount of dividends/distributions paid to securityholders, adjusting the number of securities on issue (via buy-backs), or the disposal of assets.

Mirvac prepares quarterly consolidated statements of financial position, statements of comprehensive income and cash flow updates for the current year and five year forecasts. These forecasts are used to monitor the Group’s capital structure and future capital requirements, taking into account future market conditions.

AFSL ratios and Queensland Building licences ratios were complied with at 30 June 2013. Mirvac also complied with all its borrowing covenant ratios at 30 June 2013. The gearing ratios were as follows:

2013 2012
$m $m
Net interest bearing debt less cash1 2,133.6 1,873.5
Total tangible assets less cash 9,054.3 8,267.6

e) fair value measurement

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. AASB 7 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level one);

  • inputs other than quoted prices included within level one that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level two); and

  • inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level three).

The following table presents the Group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012:

(1.1)

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the year. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level one. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. Mirvac uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used to estimate fair value for long term debt for disclosure purposes. Other techniques, such as estimated DCF, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the end of the reporting period. These instruments are included in level two and comprise debt investments and derivative financial instruments.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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.

Our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual Report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.

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 .

Voting rights

Subject to the Constitutions of Mirvac Limited and of MPT and to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, units or stapled securities:

  • on a show of hands, each Member present in person or by proxy, attorney, or representative has one vote; and

  • on a poll, each Member has:

  • in the case of a resolution of Mirvac Limited, one vote for each share in Mirvac Limited held; and

  • in the case of a resolution of MPT, one vote for each whole $1.00 of unit value in MPT held.

Instalment receipt voting rights

Instalment receipt holders have beneficial ownership of stapled securities and their rights as owners of the stapled securities are evidenced by the issue to instalment receipt holders of one instalment receipt for each stapled security. The only change to instalment receipt holders’ normal rights as an owner of stapled securities is that registration of their stapled securities is recorded in the name of Westpac Custodian Nominees Limited, the security trustee, until the final instalment is paid.

The Security Trust Deed passes through to instalment receipt holders the rights as if the holders were a registered stapled securityholder. These rights include the entitlement to receive notices and attend meetings of Mirvac and exercise voting rights on securityholder resolutions put forward. In accordance with the Security Trust Deed, the security trustee has appointed each eligible instalment receipt holder (or their nominee) as its attorney to exercise the proportionate number of votes that attaches to the stapled securities in Mirvac reflecting their holding of instalment receipts.
