NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2001

$1.$ Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant policies, which have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report, are:

$(a)$ Basis of preparation

This general-purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the Corporations Act 2001.

It is prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at valuation. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year.

As a result of applying the revised Accounting Standard AASB 1018 Statement of Financial Performance, revised AASB 1034 Financial Report Presentation and Disclosures and AASB 1040 Statement of Financial Position for the first time, a number of comparative amounts were represented or reclassified to ensure comparability with the current reporting period.

$(b)$ Principles of consolidation

H

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Peet $&$ Company Limited ("The Company") as at 30 June 2001 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. The Company and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.

Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statement of financial performance from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial year its results are included for that part of the year during which control existed.

$\left( \text{c} \right)$ Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is calculated to write off the net cost of each asset over its expected useful life to the consolidated entity using the straight-line method. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets.

Expected useful life of plant $&$ equipment is between 1 and 20 years.

$(d)$ Employee entitlements

Wages, salaries and annual leave

The provisions for employee entitlements to wages, salaries and annual leave represent the amounts which the consolidated entity has a present obligation to pay resulting from employees' services provided up to the balance date. The provision has been calculated at nominal amounts based on current wage and salary rates and includes related on-costs.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2001

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 1.

$(d)$ Employee entitlements (continued)

Long service leave

The liability for employee entitlements to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees7 services provided up to the balance date.

Liabilities for employee entitlements which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are discounted using the rates attaching to national government securities at balance date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities.

In determining the liability for employee entitlements, consideration has been given to future increases in wage and salary rates and the consolidated entity's experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also been included in the liability.

Superannuation fund

The Company contributes to various complying employee superannuation funds. Contributions are charged against income as they are made.

$(e)$ Income tax

The consolidated entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense shown in the profit and loss statement is based on the operating profit before tax, adjusted for any permanent differences.

Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of operating profit and taxable income, are brought to account as either provision for deferred income tax or an asset described as future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit is expected to be received or the liability is expected to become payable.

Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits relating to tax losses are only brought to account when their realisation is virtually certain.

$(f)$ Investments

Interests in listed and unlisted securities, other than controlled entities and associates in the consolidated financial statements, are brought to account at cost. Dividend income is recognised in the statement of financial performance when received and trust distribution income is recognised in the statement of financial performance when receivable.

Investments in controlled entities are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as set out in note $1(b)$ .

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2001

$\mathbf{1}$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$\left( \mathbf{g} \right)$ Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated as per Note 1(c). All items of property, plant and equipment are carried at the lower of cost (less accumulated depreciation) and recoverable amount.

$(h)$ Recoverable Amount of Non Current Assets

The recoverable amount of an asset is the net amount expected to be recovered through the net cash inflows arising from its continued use and subsequent disposal.

When the carrying amount of a non-current asset is greater than its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Where net cash inflows are derived from a group of assets working together, recoverable amount is determined on the basis of the relevant group of assets. To the extent that a revaluation decrement reverses a revaluation increment previously credited to, and still included in the balance of, the asset revaluation reserve, the decrement is debited directly to that reserve. Otherwise the decrement is recognised as an expense in the statement of financial performance.

The expected net cash flows included in determining recoverable amounts of non-current assets are not discounted to their present values using a market determined, risk adjusted discount rate.

$\hat{\mathbf{n}}$ Land held for syndication or development

Land held for syndication or development or deposits on land are carried at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.

Inventories $(i)$

Land held for development and resale is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development and borrowing costs during development. When development is completed borrowing costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred.

Borrowing costs included in the cost of land held for resale 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.

$(k)$ Trustee recognition of assets and liabilities

In addition to its own operations, the company acts as trustee for a number of trusts.

Pursuant to the ASIC Accounting Commentary Update 163, which states that where a trust has sufficient assets to meet all its liabilities then it is unlikely that the trustee will have to meet these liabilities, it is not appropriate that the trustee recognise the liability and corresponding asset. Accordingly, the company has not recognised the trust's liabilities at balance date.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2001

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 1.

$\Omega$ Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except where they are included in the costs of qualifying assets.

The actual amount capitalised to the balance sheet is determined on a pro-rata basis of cash paid. For example cash paid in respect to qualifying assets divided by the total cash outlay for the period is the percentage of borrowing costs allocated to qualifying assets. Such capitalised amounts are then written off to profit & loss when blocks of land sold, settle,

Borrowing costs include interest on bank overdrafts and commercial bills and amortisation of ancilliary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings.

Receivables $(m)$

Receivables are recognised on an accrual basis as the services to which they relate are performed. Collectibility of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts, which are known to be uncollectible, are written off.

$(n)$ Trade and Other Creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

$\left( 0 \right)$ Cash

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

$(p)$ Goods and Services Tax Systems changes

Costs incurred to update existing systems or to design, develop and implement new systems to deal with the GST are charged to expenses as incurred, except where they result in an enhancement of future economic benefits and are recognised as an asset.

$(q)$ Interest bearing liabilities

Loans are carried at their principal amounts, which represent their present value of future cash flows associated with servicing the debt. Interest expense incurred in respect of commercial bills is expensed to the statement of financial performance as it is incurred. Any interest attributable to the following financial year is treated as a prepayment.

$(r)$ Revenue recognition

Revenue on land development and resale is recognised when contracts are settled. Other revenue is recognised on an accrual basis.

Legislation reducing the company tax rate from 36% to 34% in respect of the 2000-2001 income tax year and then to 30% from the 20001-2002 income tax year was passed during the year ended 30 June 2000. As a consequence, deferred tax balances were remeasured during the year ended 30 June 2001 using the appropriate new rates, depending on the timing of their reversal.

29. Financial instruments

$(a)$ Credit risk exposures

The credit risk on financial assets of the consolidated entity which have been recognised on the statement of financial position, other than investments in shares, is generally the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts.

The cash component of financial assets is considered to have low credit risk as it is maintained within accounts operated by a reputable financial institution subject to Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority supervision.

$(b)$ Interest rate risk exposures

The consolidated entity's exposure to interest rate risk and the interest rate for each class of financial asset and liability is set out below.

Exposures to this type of risk arise predominantly from assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates as any fixed rate assets or liabilities that the consolidated entity may hold is likely to be held to maturity.

31. Contingent liabilities

The details and estimated amount of contingent liabilities are set out below. The directors are not aware of any circumstances or information, which would lead them to believe that these liabilities will crystallise and consequently no provisions are included in the accounts in respect of these matters.

As licensee of a securities business, the company has a bank guarantee of $20,000 in favour of the Australian Securities & Investments Commission ("ASIC"). As at 1 July 2000, this license was revoked and replaced by a new Dealer's License by the ASIC. The bank guarantee of $20,000 remains in force.

In September 2000, the company arranged a bank guarantee of $13,992 in favour of 470 St Kilda Road Pty Ltd (A.C.N. 006 075 381) for the sub lease of premises at Level 2, 470 St Kilda Road Melbourne, Victoria. The lease term commenced 8 August 2000 and ends 8 August 2003. The lease agreement also contains two, 2-year options to extend the term at the discretion of the Company.

As from 1 July 2000, the Company is subject to the Managed Investments Provisions of the Corporations Law in respect to several associated entities for which it acts as the Responsible Entity ("RE") and Custodian. The entities are:

  • (a) Burns Beach Property Trust
  • (b) Yatala Unit Trust
  • (c) Jandakot Unit Trust
  • (d) Thompson's Lake Unit Trust
  • (e) Australind Unit Trust

To assist the Company in meeting the requirements to act as an RE and Custodian, it had one of its wholly owned subsidiaries arrange a Bank Guarantee of $2,400,000 in favour of the Company.

The company has a bank guarantee of $46,740 in favour of the City of Joondalup. This is in respect to the company's development project known as The Sanctuary. As at the date of this report, all blocks in the estate have been sold and settled. Arrangements have been made to have the bank guarantee cancelled.

As trustee of the Hawkestone Unit Trust an agreement was entered into during the 1998 financial year with Peet Adios Syndicate Limited, Peet Forrestdale Syndicate Limited and Peet Oakford Land Syndicate Limited relating to a cost sharing arrangement for joint use of a water pipeline. The total costs relating to the pipeline agreement amount to $329,750. The trust's share is calculated at 2% of the total cost, being $6,595. The company as trustee for the Hawkestone Unit Trust has a bank guarantee of $10,000 in favour of the City of Armadale, in respect to this issue.

During the year, the Company entered into an Underwriting and capital raising coordination agreement with Peet Windsor Park Syndicate Limited, with the Company underwriting the capital raising to a maximum of $10,000,000. As at the date of this report, Peet Windsor Park Syndicate had allotted 14,000,000 $1.00 shares paid to $0.50 cents.

33. Events occurring after balance date

The Directors of the parent entity declared a fully franked dividend of 81 cents per share ($600,000) on Thursday, 23 August 2001 and the dividend was paid on Friday, 24 August 2001.

Since the end of the financial year ended 30 June 2001, Peet Windsor Park Syndicate Limited issued 14,000,000 $1.00 shares paid to $0.50 cents. The capital raising was closed in September 2001. Accordingly, at the date of this report, Peet Windsor Park Syndicate Limited is not a controlled entity of the Company.

The share held in Peet Jandakot Land Syndicate Limited was sold in August 2001 to an unrelated third party. Accordingly, at the date of this report, Peet Jandakot Land Syndicate Limited is not a controlled entity of the Company.

The financial effects of the above transactions have not been brought to account at 30 June 2001. The operating results and assets and liabilities of Peet Jandakot Land Syndicate Limited and Peet Windsor Park Syndicate Limited were consolidated as at 30 June 2001.

34. Going concern

Notwithstanding current liabilities exceeding the current assets of the consolidated entity, the directors believe the consolidated entity will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due because:

  • the consolidated entity has appropriate facilities in place with its financiers, National Australia Bank $(a)$ and the directors do not foresee the bank making a call on existing debt;
  • if required, the Company has the ability to arrange a capital raising to retire debt; and $(b)$
  • $(c)$ the consolidated entity is in a healthy overall net asset position. The majority of its non current inventory (land held for development and resale) is recorded at its cost which, based on an independent valuation dated 30 June 2001, is significantly lower than its market value at that date.

DIRECTORS DECLARATION

The directors declare that the financial statements and notes set out on pages 6 to 31:

  • comply with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other $(a)$ mandatory professional reporting requirements; and
  • give a true and fair view of the company's and consolidated entity's financial position as at $(b)$ 30 June 2001 and of their performance, as represented by the results of their operations and their cash flows, for the financial year ended on that date.

In the directors' opinion :

  • the financial statements and notes are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001; and $(a)$
  • there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as $(b)$ and when they become due and payable.

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors.
