Notes:
- (1) The Company’s investment in BEL, an Associated Entity (i.e. in which the Company has a greater than 20% interest), is accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the carrying amount of such investment is cost plus a share of the Associate Entity’s net profit or loss (after tax) for the financial year to month end as provided to the Company by such Associated Entity. Refer also Note 22 (Investments in Associates) on pages 42 and 43 of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report for further details in this regard.
Accordingly, as at 31 October 2017, the Company’s 20,513,783 shares (26.95% interest) (30 September 2017: 20,513,783 shares and 26.95%) in BEL have a carrying value of $0.09 per share ($1.763m); this compares with BEL’s last bid price on ASX of $0.11 per share ($2.257m) and BEL’s after-tax NTA backing of $0.1462 per share ($2.999m), as at month end.

-
(3) The fair value of investments in other listed securities is based on each security’s last bid price on market at month end.
-
(4) Units invested in the managed fund are valued at the audited unit price published by the investment manager, as at month end – the unit price reflects the net asset backing of the fund; there is no buy/sell spread price; there is no recognition of realisation costs as there are no exit fees charged on redemption of units.

The land (with the water licence entitlement) was valued by an independent qualified valuer (a Certified Valuer and Associate Member of the Australian Property Institute) as at 15 June 2017. The olive trees and depreciable plant and equipment are carried at net realisable value.
