We are committed to growth and prosperity for our shareholders, investors and the residents of our quality, master-planned communities across Australia.

With a sound governance framework and quality infrastructure, a breadth of business skills and project management systems and procedures, Peet effectively and efficiently manages a land bank of almost 48,600 lots in different locations and markets around the country.

The results are projects that demonstrate innovation, earn coveted industry awards, and deliver quality communities for tens of thousands of Australians.

Chairman's Review

On behalf of the Peet Limited Board, I am pleased to present the Peet 2012 Annual Report.

The 2012 financial year delivered a complex and challenging operating environment and I can report that Peet has responded well in adapting to those changing conditions. It will maintain its focus on its stated strategies to continue strengthening the business.

The Group recorded a net operating profit after tax of $20.3 million4 for the year and its statutory net profit after tax for the full year was $5.4 million, representing a decrease of 76% compared to the previous corresponding period. This includes write-downs of $12.3 million5 on non-core assets sold or identified for sale and $2.6 million5 relating to a small developing asset in Queensland.

The results reflect the prudent capital management initiatives taken to manage through the current cycle. The management of capital in a manner that protects and positions our balance sheet for the long-term interests of the Company, shareholders and development partners will continue to be a very high priority in the 2013 financial year.

  • 5 Post tax

Also of high priority will be the continued focus on the growth of both our retail and wholesale funds management platforms. Despite the challenging trading conditions, our track record in land syndication over three decades has earned us a very supportive investor base and I thank our long-standing and new investors alike for their ongoing commitment to Peet.

The Peet Board has again provided measured advice and guidance, and the benefit of their considerable experience in property, finance and business to a very committed and talented management team.

The Board wishes to thank the Managing Director, Brendan Gore, and the executive team charged with leading Peet in what are some of the most challenging conditions in the Australian property market in decades.

We have also been pleased to add to the depth of the Board's experience during the year with the appointment of Mr Trevor Allen as an Independent Non-executive Director in April 2012.

Mr Allen has brought extensive experience in business, corporate finance and capital markets to the role, including 30 years in the corporate advisory sector, which has been, and continues to be, of significant 4 Pre write-downs benefit to the Board and Peet.

In accordance with Peet's Constitution, Mr Allen will offer himself for election by shareholders at the 2012 Annual General Meeting to be held in November 2012.

Mr Anthony Lennon also became a Non-executive Director in August 2012. After 21 years in various operational, marketing and business development roles within Peet Limited and, after 16 years as an Executive Director, Mr Anthony Lennon resigned from his executive duties but remains on the Board of Peet Limited and a number of Peet syndicates. I take this opportunity to thank him for his considerable – and ongoing – contribution to the Company.

At the conclusion of the 2012 financial year, I regret to advise that the Directors consider it prudent in the current market to defer dividend payments until market conditions improve. There will therefore be no dividend paid in respect to the 2012 financial year. Flagstone - Queensland Burns Beach - Western Australia

While I appreciate this is disappointing for investors, I also trust that investors have confidence in our ongoing dividend payment policy and the validity of the reasoning behind the decision taken.

We are operating in exceptional times where, despite the relative wealth of our own nation, we are heavily impacted by the global economy and consumer and business confidence has been low over a sustained period of time.

This time last year, it was the crisis befalling some European economies and concern about the United States' debt ceiling issue. This year, the slowing of the Chinese economy and falling commodity prices are also having significant flow-on effects in Australia and consumer and business sentiment remains cautious.

Nonetheless, I am reminded why I'm passionate about property – and about Peet Limited.

The Company has quality assets in good locations around Australia – a country with significant population growth, employment opportunity, wages growth and young families who aspire to home ownership.

We have managed through a number of cycles and will continue to maintain the rigour required during the

current market conditions, while positioning the Company to capitalise on any upturn in consumer sentiment.

The first quarter of the 2013 financial year has given sober indications of the challenges remaining in the Australian property market and we look forward to meeting them head-on in preparation for improvements in FY14 and beyond.

Tony Lennon CHAIRMAN

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer's Review

Peet's experience and underlying strength was tested during the 2012 financial year by some of the most challenging conditions in decades – and I am pleased to report that the Group's strategy to reposition itself for future growth remains well on track.

The Group's net operating profit after tax of $20.3 million6 for the year was slightly above expectations, taking into consideration the limited depth of the market and the deterioration in market conditions through the year, particularly on the eastern seaboard.

Lower earnings was also an expected outcome of Peet's capital management strategy which involved withholding capital expenditure on some key Company-owned projects until market conditions warrant higher levels of production.

Despite the challenging operating environment in FY12, the Group continued to make good progress in positioning itself for the next major growth phase. To grow future sales rates and earnings, Peet is on track in:

• further developing its funds management business and the wholesale platform established in 2009;

  • • implementing a multi-pronged capital management program that is responsive to market conditions and maintains a focus on improved operating efficiencies and a lower cost base;
  • • re-balancing its land bank with a key focus on growth corridors and regions of Western Australia and Queensland, as well as Victoria;
  • • re-shaping the portfolio with a focus on larger lowcost masterplanned communities; and
  • • delivering a wide variety of affordable, quality product that meets the market's shifting needs.

This strategic program will continue in the year ahead, positioning the Group to capitalise on the growth opportunities of a more normalised property market in Australia in the medium to long term.

Peet delivers high-quality, affordable residential communities across Australia and we have demonstrated that again this year with industry awards and environmental accreditations in all our key markets.

In the next three years, another 15 projects are scheduled to come into production, including Flagstone City in South East Queensland. Eight of those projects will be part of our expanded Funds Management business.

In short, we are preparing to deliver increased production rates in the years ahead as market conditions normalise, and we have a number of low-cost assets expected to contribute to profit from FY14 onwards.

At 30 June 2012, Peet's total land bank of managed and Company-owned lots stood at almost 48,600, with a growing emphasis on large, masterplanned developments balanced across our key markets.

In line with our longer-term growth strategy, more than 34,600 lots or 71% of our land bank is syndicated or managed. Peet has a very sound retail syndicate investor base built over a long period of time and we continue discussions which would see an expansion of our wholesale platform.

Also in line with our stated strategy, future acquisitions will be predominantly achieved through our retail and wholesale funds management platform.

Though conditions are expected to remain volatile and challenging in FY13, there have been some positive signs in the first months of the year in the Western Australian market.

The Western Australian residential property market is starting to trend upwards with good demand in the first quarter of FY13, particularly for land at price points lower than $200,000, and a more normalised land market in higher price brackets.

In Queensland, Peet will be accelerating development at our Vantage development in Gladstone (North Queensland), where volume and price levels have remained solid over the past year. Planning for our 13,000 lot residential community and town centre project at Flagstone – a joint venture with MTAA Super in South East Queensland – is also progressing well.

In Victoria, where the market slowed considerably during the year, most of Peet's projects are in the development and infrastructure delivery stages and are expected to provide a variety of product to meet future demand.

More than 1,770 lots were sold during the 2012 financial year for a gross value of $435.9 million (down 8.2%). More than 2,050 lots, including three super lots, were settled for a gross value of $481.2 million (down 7.4%).

There were 788 contracts on hand at 30 June 2012 (down 30%) with a gross value of $235 million (down 19%). The reduction in the number of contracts on hand was largely as a result of our deliberate and strategic decision to restrain capital expenditure on some key Victorian projects where the market had weakened sharply during the year and buyers were having difficulty in securing finance.

The Group recorded operating EBITDA of $46.6 million6 , down 43% on the previous financial year, and the EBITDA margin fell 11 points to (a still solid) 32%. More than half of Peet's projects are syndicated and the net EBITDA margin in this business segment held steady at a strong 66%.

The NTA per share of $1.24 reflects lower independent bank mortgage valuations across Victoria and Queensland in particular and does not account for the value attributable to the Company's Funds Management business.

As part of Peet's pro-active and ongoing capital management strategy, a non-core asset divestment program continued during the year, to reduce debt and position the balance sheet for future growth.

6 Pre write-downs

The Group has targeted up to $100 million in non-core asset sales and, as at 30 June 2012, there was some $40 million under unconditional contracts which are contracted to settle by the end of the 2012 calendar year. The orderly sale of up to a further $60 million in non-core assets is targeted for the second half of the 2013 calendar year, subject to market conditions.

At year end, the Group was compliant with all banking covenants.

Gearing at 30 June 2012 was 39.7%, though we are targeting gearing of less than 35% by the end of the 2013 financial year and sub-30% by June 2014.

Peet's underlying capital management strategy remains on track and will continue through FY13. We have a clearly defined strategy as well as an experienced management team and a well-tested business model, and I am confident that we will end the 2013 financial year in an even better position to capitalise on growth opportunities as market conditions begin to normalise.

Group Strategy

The Company is taking a very cautious view in its shortterm residential market outlook. It has a well-defined strategy that responds appropriately to the persistent poor market conditions and will continue to focus on the following key elements:

  • • careful allocation of capital into projects until there is greater certainty around sales and settlements for new releases. We recognise that this will impact earnings for the 2013 financial year but believe it prudent in the current operating environment;
  • • continuing an orderly and timely non-core asset divestment program to retire debt;
  • • maintaining pressure on operating costs and overheads efficiencies; and
  • • continuing to meet the market with a mix of desirable and affordable product.

The Group will continue to be measured and strategic in its approach to capital investment to achieve the sales that reflect the current depth of the market, particularly in Victoria. We will continue to invest responsibly in projects where there is greater certainty.

This disciplined approach to capital management positions Peet to take advantage of any improvement or normalisation of the market to deliver more positive results to shareholders.

Outlook

The 2012 financial year delivered some of the most challenging conditions experienced in almost 20 years and there is little expectation that markets will improve significantly in FY13.

The series of interest rate cuts in FY12 has not had the desired effect to date and consumer and business confidence remains low.

The long-term fundamentals of the Australian property market – including population growth, an under-supply of housing and a tight rental market – remain conducive to an improving market. However, the catalyst for household confidence, which will underpin improved demand in the residential property market activity, is yet to be found. Artist's impression, Livingston - Victoria Warner Lakes - Queensland

Peet remains confident in its underlying value with a growing wholesale and retail Funds Management business, coupled with quality, Company-owned projects. The Group is well prepared to respond quickly and effectively to any improvement in consumer sentiment and the residential market.

However, given the ongoing uncertainty in Australia, and until the timing and strength of the expected recovery is confirmed, the Directors are unable to provide guidance on FY13 operating earnings with any degree of certainty.

The year ahead is a period of consolidation for Peet. I am excited about what lies ahead of us as we start to realise our targeted strategic objectives.

Peet moves forward with great depth in its executive management and across the entire team nationally. I want to particularly commend and thank the entire Peet team with whom I have the privilege of working. Their commitment and flexibility has again been highlighted by the challenging operating environment and our investors can be assured their drive and determination remains as strong as ever.

I trust Peet Limited's Chairman, Tony Lennon, and the Board are also aware of our appreciation of their diligence and support, particularly during the past year.

Finally, I particularly thank our shareholders, institutional and joint venture partners, and our retail syndicate investors. Your loyalty and confidence is never taken for granted and I assure you that everyone at Peet Limited continues to strive for the best possible results from every area of the business.

We relish the challenges – and look to the successes – ahead.

Operational Review

Highlights

  • • Group revenue of $146.9 million
  • • Operating EBITDA7 of $46.6 million
  • • 1,776 owned and managed lots sold with a gross value of $435.9 million
  • • More than 2,050 owned and managed lots settled with a gross value of $481.2 million
  • • 788 contracts on hand as at 30 June 2012 with a gross value of $235 million
  • • Total land bank of almost 48,600 lots with an on-completion value of more than $8.8 billion

Group Performance

Peet offers quality product targeted at the affordable and middle segments of the market in the growth corridors of Perth, Melbourne and South East Queensland.

The Group's performance in the 2012 financial year was slightly better than had been anticipated towards the end of the first half, and achieved despite market conditions deteriorating even further in the second half of the year.

In line with overall market conditions, EBITDA7 margins across the Group were weaker, down from 43% in the previous financial year to 32% in FY12. More than half of Peet's projects are syndicated and the net EBITDA7 margin in this sector of the business held steady at a strong 66%.

Managed projects represented around 40% of the Group's EBITDA7 and the earnings contribution showed the reweighting of the land bank to Western Australia and Queensland. The Group's operational strategy was also reflected in a smaller number of larger projects driving Company-owned development returns.

During the year 1,776 owned and managed lots were sold with a gross value of $435.9 million while more than 2,050 lots settled with a gross value of $481.2 million. At 30 June 2012, there were 788 contracts on hand with a gross value of $235 million.

The reduction in contracts on hand at year-end of around 30% compared to the same time in 2011 is due predominantly to the weakness in the market; the difficulty of buyers obtaining finance in the prevailing conditions; the deliberate reduction in capital investment in some Victorian projects; and considered capping of pre-sales in the Victorian market which had reached the top of its cycle.

Peet managed its operations during the year in line with the lower sales volumes expected in the market conditions, while maintaining its capability to respond to more normalised levels of demand in the future.

In response to market conditions during the year and forecasts for FY13, Peet resolved to defer development in two large, Company-owned projects in Victoria until there are signs of improvement. The company has accelerated development for FY13 and FY14 of its Vantage community in Gladstone, Queensland where demand has proved strong.

In the next three financial years, 15 new projects are expected to start development including eight syndicated projects (including Flagstone City in Queensland) and seven Company-owned projects.

In the next three financial years, 15 new projects are expected to start development.

Project portfolio

The benefits of Peet's strategy over the past three years to achieve a counter-cyclical repositioning of its land bank with a focus on the longer-term growth states of Western Australia and Queensland was underlined in the 2012 financial year when conditions in the Victorian market deteriorated markedly.

Peet has continued to build on that strategy in FY12 with a divestment program targeting up to $100 million in non-core assets.

At year-end, around 80% of Peet's land bank was split almost evenly between the resource-rich states of Western Australia and Queensland, while 19% of the land bank was located in Victoria.

As at 30 June 2012, Peet's owned and managed land bank was the equivalent of approximately 48,600 lots with an on-completion value (in today's dollars) of $8.8 billion.

A key element of Peet's growth strategy is to build the strength of its Funds Management business and, at 30 June 2012, more than 34,600 lots with an estimated on-completion value of almost $6.2 billion – or around 70% of the total land bank – formed the syndicated or managed pipeline.

Peet's land bank represents approximately 24 years' supply, based on current production rates. The Group will continue to identify opportunities to strategically grow its land bank in growth areas when market conditions are optimal.

Carrying value of inventories

Peet recorded write-downs after tax of $12.3 million on non-core assets sold or identified for sale and $2.6 million relating to a small developing asset on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

Capital management

Peet maintained its strong and ongoing commitment to a clear capital management strategy throughout the year and will continue to do so in the year ahead.

The Village at Wellard - Western Australia

That strategy prioritises reducing debt and further strengthening the balance sheet, which will not only see Peet through the present cycle but position the Group for future growth.

Peet responded effectively to the prevailing market conditions on several fronts during the year with the implementation of a non-core asset divestment program to retire debt; careful allocation of capital into new projects; and a continued focus on improving operating and overhead cost efficiencies.

The Group has targeted up to $100 million of non-core asset sales and, at year-end, there was some $40 million under unconditional contracts, contracted to settle prior to 31 December 2012. The orderly sale of up to a further $60 million in non-core assets is targeted for the 2013 calendar year, subject to market conditions.

For the year ended 30 June 2012:

  • • the average cost of debt was 8.48%;
  • • Group interest cover was 1.6 times; and
  • • gearing8 as at that date was 39.7%.

Peet had interest-bearing debt (including its convertible notes), net of cash, of $293 million as at 30 June 2012, compared with $217 million at the same time in the previous year. A large portion of this increase is attributable to cash invested in the 13,000-lot Flagstone project in South East Queensland, which settled in July 2011 ($47 million), and development costs at key Company-owned projects, including Gladstone in Queensland and Craigieburn in Victoria.

At year-end, 63% of the Group's interest-bearing debt was hedged, compared with 91% at the end of FY11, resulting in an average hedge maturity profile of 3.1 years compared with 3.5 years at 30 June 2011.

The Group had cash and available facilities totalling $53.9 million at year-end and was compliant with all covenants.

8 (Total interest bearing liabilities (including deferred payment obligations)less cash) / (Total assets adjusted for market value of inventory less cash, less intangible assets)

COMPANY-OWNED PROJECTS

The Group achieved 364 Company-owned sales including three super lots at a gross value of $111.2 million. A total of almost 400 lots was settled during the year, including the super lots, for a gross value of $100.1 million.

At 30 June 2012, there were 141 contracts on hand with a total gross sales value of $34.9 million. This compared with 178 in the previous corresponding period, largely due to the deliberate strategy to delay capital investment in some Company-owned projects in response to the weak market conditions particularly in Victoria. Those projects, and up to seven new Company-owned projects, will be in development over the next three financial years, assuming the market normalises and improves.

Peet's Company-owned projects totalled the equivalent of almost 14,000 lots at year end, with an on-completion value of just over $2.6 billion.

FUNDS MANAGEMENT

Peet manages and markets residential land developments on behalf of land syndicates and under joint venture or project management arrangements.

With more than 30 years' experience in land syndication, it enjoys the benefits of a supportive investor base which understands the cyclical nature of residential development.

Despite challenging trading conditions throughout the year, both Peet's very significant retail platform and its wholesale funds management platform performed soundly.

Highlights

  • • Revenue of $86 million from the settlement of 395 Company-owned retail lots, and $6 million in revenue from the settlement of three super lots
  • • Earnings before interest and taxes9 of $20.2 million
  • • Pre-tax write-down in inventory of $21.2 million
  • • Net EBITDA margin of 22%9
  • • 364 lots sold including three super lots at a gross value of $111.2 million
  • • 141 contracts on hand for a gross value of $34.9 million

Quattro: The New Queens Park - Western Australia

At year-end, the Group's managed lots made up 71% of the total portfolio, and had an estimated on-completion value of $6.2 billion.

Project management and selling fees from 35 managed projects represented around 60% of the funds management revenue for the year.

There were almost 1,400 syndicated and managed lots settled during the year for a gross value of $325.7 million with 565 contracts on hand as at 30 June 2012, with a gross value of $181.5 million.

At year-end, the Group's managed lots made up 71% of the total portfolio, and had an estimated on-completion value of $6.2 billion.

Of the 15 new Peet residential communities to commence within the next three years, more than half will be syndicated, including Flagstone City in South East Queensland where planning work progressed well during the year.

The first residents moved into Shorehaven at Alkimos in Western Australia in July 2011 and sales also commenced at two other coastal communities in Western Australia during the year – at Yanchep Golf Estate in the northern coastal corridor and at Golden Bay, a 2,200 dwelling coastal development south of Perth.

Highlights

  • • Earnings before interest and tax $18.3 million
  • • Net EBITDA margin of 66%
  • • Revenue of $28.5 million
  • • Almost 1,170 lots sold for a gross value of $271.8 million
  • • Almost 1,400 lots settled for a gross value of $325.7 million
  • • 565 contracts on hand as at 30 June 2012 for a gross value of $181.5 million
  • • 244 sales and 256 settlements from two joint venture projects for a gross value of $52.8 million and $34 million respectively

Preparations for the official July 2012 launch of Riverbank in Caboolture, Queensland, and the $10.5 million bridge accessing the site (funded by the Federal Housing Affordability Fund) were also completed. The Federal Housing Minister, the Hon. Brendan O'Connor MP and Myer Family Company Chairman, Martyn Myer AO, officiated.

In the years ahead, Peet will continue to expand its Funds Management business and future acquisitions will be funded through the retail and wholesale platform.

The Alkimos-Eglinton area is expanding rapidly and projects like Shorehaven are a key element of its growth. We are looking forward to seeing Shorehaven develop into a vibrant, sustainable and connected community that will provide an enjoyable lifestyle for residents.

Tracey Roberts, Mayor of Wanneroo

Joint ventures

The Company has two joint venture projects with the Western Australian Government.

There were 244 sales at Quattro: the New Queens Park and The Village at Wellard during the year. A total of 256 lots were settled during the year and another 82 contracts were on hand as at 30 June 2012 with a total value of $18.2 million.

The final land ballot at Quattro: the New Queens Park was held in April 2012 and all stages were sold out during the year. A small number of car park lots will be available at this urban renewal project during the 2013 financial year.

SUSTAINABILITY

Peet Limited is committed to sustainability and environmental excellence and applies sustainability principles in its development projects and business practices, as well as leading and supporting industry uptake of sustainable practices.

  • • construction of a Community Centre, collaboratively funded by Peet, the Department of Housing WA, the Town of Kwinana and Lotterywest, was progressed;
  • • Peet undertook a series of environmental awareness and education initiatives for residents and surrounding communities across Australia. These ranged from organising and partnering with schools and other groups

For a development company to acquire a sixth EnviroDevelopment certification is an enormous accomplishment and a testament to Peet's absolute commitment to environmental values in their operations across Australia.

UDIA National EnviroDevelopment Manager, Kirsty Chessher

Priorities in the design, construction and community capacity building of our masterplanned communities include the environment, safety, social well-being and economic opportunity.

Peet also addresses the critical issue of affordability by designing and providing a range of lot sizes at different locations to suit a variety of lifestyles and budgets. Our partnerships with builders and others also help us provide competitive pricing and a range of incentives to assist homebuyers entering the property market.

During the year:

  • • three Victorian communities were awarded accreditation under the Urban Development Institute of Australia's EnviroDevelopment program – Quarters, Cranbourne, Cardinia Lakes in Pakenham and Aston, Craigieburn;
  • • Riverbank Estate became the first Peet project in Queensland to achieve EnviroDevelopment accreditation in May 2012. The community was recognised in four categories – Ecosystems, Energy, Water and Community;

in National Tree Day events through to recycling tips and competitions and advice on waterwise gardening;

  • • an innovative partnership was formed between Flagstone Rise and the Souths Logan Magpies Rugby League Football Club (a division of the Canberra Raiders National Rugby League Club) to extend the Magpies' youth development program in the Logan region, to Flagstone in South East Queensland;
  • • there was a wide range of events at Peet estates during the year, bringing together thousands of residents and members of the wider community to celebrate important milestones and encourage a sense of community. Among the events were display village openings, festive celebrations and family fun days including the launch of the Shorehaven Display Village at Alkimos, Western Australia in August 2011, which attracted around 2,500 people; and
  • • construction of the $6 million Flax Lily Creek wetlands at Aston in Craigieburn, Victoria began. The project takes in almost seven hectares of landscaped parklands with viewing decks and walkways – providing a sanctuary for residents and visitors to relax, explore and discover native plants and wildlife.

Quinns Mindarie Surf Lifesaving Club provides voluntary patrols on Quinns Beach and surrounding areas to help ensure the safety of beachgoers – in the surf and on the sand.

COMMUNITY

Peet Limited is proud to have been part of the Australian community for more than 115 years. Building community capacity and supporting local groups and organisations is an important part of our work around Australia.

In December 2011, Peet was pleased to support the Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships – an Olympic qualifying event that attracted more than 1,400 athletes and officials from 80 nations.

For the sixth year, Peet was proud to support the work of Anglicare WA through the 2012 Peet Op Shop Ball for Anglicare. The event raised a record amount in March 2012 with a focus on homeless young people. The total amount raised now exceeds $1 million and "suitcases of hope" have been delivered to many hundreds of children. Peet has again committed to the 2013 Peet Op Shop Ball for Anglicare.

During the year, Peet also joined Variety Queensland as the major partner in a new charity house project at Vantage in Gladstone. The project is recognised as one of the biggest charity ventures ever undertaken in the region and is expected to raise $250,000 for four local beneficiaries which provide support services for families and youth.

By contributing to not-for-profit organisations in areas of the arts, social welfare groups and sport, Peet supports a wide range of groups who, in turn, help thousands of Australians in need every year.

In 2012, Peet communities were proud to sponsor more than 35 organisations and initiatives including groups in the arts sector; community development initiatives; sporting groups, and environmental programs.

This included support of the local Surf Lifesaving Clubs by Shorehaven at Alkimos, WA and Sea Crest, Shellharbour NSW and a five-year partnership with the Cranbourne Cricket Club in Victoria.

In Victoria, Peet Limited also sponsored the UDIA Young Professional of the Year Award for the sixth year and the Victorian Planning and Environmental Law Association Young Professional Awards, supporting the development of young professionals in the industry.

Corporate Governance Statement

Outlined below are the main corporate governance policies and practices in place during the financial year ended 30 June 2012. Unless otherwise stated, these are consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council's principles and recommendations and copies of relevant charters and policies are available at www.peet.com.au.

Board of Directors

Role of the Board

The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance structures and practices of the Peet Group.

Under the Board charter, the Board's responsibilities include:

  • • setting strategic direction of the Peet Group and monitoring management's performance within that framework;
  • • ensuring there are adequate resources available to meet the Peet Group's objectives;
  • • appointing and removing the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer and overseeing succession plans for the senior executive team;
  • • approving and monitoring financial reporting and capital management;
  • • approving and monitoring the progress of business objectives;
  • • ensuring that any necessary statutory licences (for example, Australian Financial Services Licence) are held and compliance measures are maintained to ensure compliance with the law and licence(s);
  • • ensuring that adequate risk management procedures are in place;
  • • ensuring that the Peet Group has appropriate corporate governance structures in place, including standards of ethical behaviour and a culture of corporate and social responsibility; and
  • • ensuring that the Board is and remains appropriately skilled to meet the changing needs of the Group.

Composition of the Board

Under the Constitution, the minimum number of directors is three. The maximum number of directors is to be fixed by the directors, but may not be more than 14, unless the Company in general meeting resolves otherwise.

Following the:

• appointment of Mr Trevor Allen as an Independent Nonexecutive Director on 5 April 2012; and

• transition of Mr Anthony James Lennon from Executive to Non-executive Director on 27 August 2012

The Board currently comprises of five non-executive directors (including three independent directors) and one executive director.

Board Members

Details of the members of the Board, their experience, expertise, qualifications and independent status are set out in the Board of Directors section of this report. The ASX Corporate Governance Council's principles (the Principles) recommend that Boards consist of a majority of independent non-executive directors. While the Peet Board does not meet this recommendation, it does consist of a majority of non-executive directors (one of whom is Chairman) and 50% of independent nonexecutive directors.

While the overall composition of the Board does not currently meet ASX guidelines on independence, the Directors believe that the current composition has the necessary skills and motivation to adequately discharge its obligations.

Mr Tony Lennon who is (indirectly) the largest shareholder in the Company and the Non-executive Chairman, is not independent. However, the Board strongly believes that due to the wealth of experience in Peet's business sector and knowledge of the Peet Group business that he brings to the Board, he is currently the most suitable person to occupy the position of Chairman.

Mr Stephen Higgs is deemed to be independent under the principles set out on page 26.

Mr Graeme Sinclair is deemed to be independent under the principles set out on page 26.

Mr Trevor Allen is deemed to be independent under the principles set out on page 26.

Mr Anthony Lennon is not considered independent under the principles set out on page 26.

Board Diversity

The Board recognises the benefits that arise from employee and board diversity and, as required by the Principles, adopted a Diversity Policy (the Policy) in January 2011.

In the Policy, "Diversity" includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability and cultural background. The Policy also requires that the Board seek to develop measurable objectives for the Company to achieve greater gender diversity at board, executive and at a whole of company level.

In addition to adopting the Policy, the Principles recommend that companies disclose annually their measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity, their progress towards achieving those objectives and the proportion of women in the whole organisation, in senior management, and on the board.

The Company's gender diversity objectives and progress towards achieving those objectives are detailed below.

Objective Progress
Increase the percentageof women in peoplemanagement roles to45-50% by 2015. On track, with thepercentage increasingfrom 28% as at 30June 2009 to 42% asat 30 June 2012.
Annual employee survey ondiversity to be introduced(voluntary participation dueto privacy laws). To be undertakenin accordance withannual objective.
Pay equality to bereviewed annually. Undertaken inaccordance withannual objective.
Annual resource planningsessions with divisionalmanagers to discusssuccession planning andstaff resourcing. To be undertakenin accordance withannual objective.
Objective Progress
During each director andexecutive selection andappointment process, theBoard will reinforce theCompany's recruitment andselection processes andensure the professionalsearch firm presents adiverse pool of candidates. The Company meetsthe appointmentprocess objective.
Continue to assess andprovide for flexible workingarrangements and familysupport programs thatbalance the needs ofemployees with families andthose of the Company. The Company meetsthe objective.
Establish a program whichrequires senior employeesto continue to stay in touchwith employees on parentalleave on a regular basis andprovide assistance to helpthem successfully transitionback to work. Program initiativescurrently beingdeveloped.

As at 30 June 2012, the proportion of women at various levels of the Company was:

Level of role % Female
Director 0%
Senior Executives 0%
People Managers 42%
Company 57%

The Company recognises that a key challenge for the Group will be increasing female representation at the board and senior executive level.

The Company's recruitment processes provide that selection of employees is merit based and focused on selecting the best person for the job. However, in accordance with the Board's objective, when board and senior executive level appointments are required to be made, the Board will ensure the Company's recruitment and selection processes are undertaken, and that a diverse pool of candidates is presented by the professional search firm.

Directors' independence

The Board of Peet defines an independent director as a nonexecutive director and:

  • • is not a substantial (as defined by Corporations Act) shareholder of the Company or an officer of a substantial shareholder who has a financial interest in the substantial shareholder;
  • • within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member, or been a director after ceasing to hold any such employment;
  • • within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provider;
  • • is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or other group member, or an officer of a material supplier or customer who has a financial interest in the material supplier or customer;
  • • has no material contractual relationship with the Company or another group member other than as a director of the Company or other group member;
  • • has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and
  • • is free from any interest and any business or other relationship that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the Company.

Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative bases. An amount of more than 5% of annual turnover of the Company or Group or 5% of the individual director's net worth is considered material for these purposes. In addition, a transaction of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it may impact a shareholder's understanding of the director's performance.

Term of Office

Apart from the Managing Director, all directors are appointed for a term (maximum of three years) retiring in rotation.

Chairman and Managing Director

The roles of Chairman and Managing Director are strictly separated.

The Chairman is responsible for:

  • • leading the Board in its duties to the Peet Group;
  • • ensuring there are processes and procedures in place to evaluate the performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors;
  • • facilitating effective discussions at Board meetings; and
  • • ensuring effective communication with shareholders.

The Managing Director is responsible for:

  • • strategy and policy direction of the operations of the Peet Group;
  • • the efficient and effective operation of the Peet Group;
  • • ensuring the Board is provided with accurate and clear information in a timely manner to promote effective decision-making; and
  • • ensuring all material matters affecting the Peet Group are brought to the Board's attention.

Independent Professional Advice

In fulfilling their duties, each director may obtain independent professional advice at the Company's expense, subject to prior approval of the Chairman, whose approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

Performance Assessment

The Board undergoes periodic formal assessments as and when considered appropriate, and informal self assessment on an ongoing basis.

The formal assessment process generally involves the appointment of an independent, third party consultant to facilitate the process and typically includes the requirement for each director to complete a questionnaire and to be interviewed by the third party consultant. Matters assessed may include the role, composition, procedures, practices and behaviour of the Board, its committees and their members.

This is then generally followed by a facilitated workshop at which the directors discuss the findings from the questionnaires and interviews and agree on a program of actions.

The final part of the process generally involves individual feedback sessions facilitated by the independent third party consultant.

It is the Board's current intention to undertake the next formal assessment of its (and its committees') performance in the first half of 2013 calendar year.

The Board continuously assesses its performance on an informal basis.

Board Committees

The following committees serve the Board:

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee meets as frequently as required and during the year held six meetings. The Committee operates in accordance with its charter which is available on the Company's website. Its primary function is to make recommendations to the Board on:

  • • executive remuneration and incentive policies;
  • • the remuneration packages of senior management;
  • • recruitment, retention and termination policies for senior management;
  • • incentive schemes;
  • • superannuation arrangements;
  • • senior management succession plans; and
  • • the remuneration framework for directors, including non-executive directors.

Up to 26 June 2012, the Remuneration Committee comprised of two independent directors and the Nonexecutive Chairman.

Since 26 June 2012, the composition of the Remuneration Committee has changed to comprise three independent directors.

The chairperson of the Remuneration Committee is the person appointed by the Board.

The members of the committee during part or the whole of the financial year and up to the date of the Directors' Report were:

  • • Mr S F Higgs Independent Non-executive Director;
  • • Mr G W Sinclair Independent Non-executive Director;
  • • Mr A W Lennon Non-executive Chairman (resigned from the Committee 26 June 2012); and
  • • Mr T J Allen Independent Non-executive Director (appointed to the Committee 26 June 2012).

Mr S F Higgs stepped down from his role as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee on 26 June 2012 and remains a Committee member.

Mr T J Allen joined the Remuneration Committee and was appointed its Chairman on 26 June 2012.

Details of these directors' attendance at Remuneration Committee meetings are set out at item 12 in the Directors' Report.

The Group Company Secretary acts as secretary to the Committee and attends its meetings.

Details of key management personnel remuneration is set out at item 14 in the Directors' Report.

As at the 30 June 2012, the Company's key management personnel comprised the Directors and the Executive Team, whose members report directly to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.

The process for evaluating the performance of the Executive Team members (not including the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer) generally involves an analysis of:

  • • a summary of the executives' highlights for the previous 12 months;

  • • an assessment against the Company's values and behaviours, which is considered a mandatory aspect of the day-to-day performance and an integral part of the Company's culture;

  • • an assessment against personal objectives and key performance indicators; and

  • • an assessment of personal skills and attributes.

This performance evaluation is undertaken by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.

The performance evaluation for each member of the Executive Team in respect of the year ended 30 June 2012 is currently in progress.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer has his performance assessed by the Remuneration Committee and the Board based, primarily, on various Group financial and non-financial performance criteria.

Audit and Risk Management Committee

The purpose of the Audit and Risk Management Committee is to review and monitor the financial affairs of the Company and to ensure there are adequate policies in place in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems.

The Committee's primary responsibilities include the following:

  • • review the integrity of the Peet Group's financial and external reporting;
  • • review and assess the external auditors' activities, scope and independence;
  • • review the management processes for the identification of significant business risks and exposures and review and assess the adequacy of management information and internal control structures; and
  • • provide assurance that the Peet Group is adequately managing risk relating to corporate governance and is maintaining appropriate controls against conflicts of interest and fraud.

Under its charter, the Audit and Risk Management Committee consists of a minimum of three directors with a majority of independent directors. The Board selects the chairperson of the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

Up to 26 June 2012, the Committee comprised two independent non-executive directors and the Nonexecutive Chairman.

Since 26 June 2012, the composition of the Committee has changed to comprise three independent directors.

At the discretion of the Committee, the external auditor and other members of the Board and management are invited to Committee meetings as and when considered appropriate.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee will consider any matters relating to the financial affairs of Peet and any other matter referred to it by the Board.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee charter requires the committee to meet at least three (3) times a year. The Committee held six meetings during the year and all the other directors were invited to these meetings, along with the Chief Financial Officer and/or the Group Financial Controller.

The external auditors were invited to attend five of the six meetings.

The members of the committee during part or the whole of the financial year and up to the date of the Directors' Report were:

  • • Mr G W Sinclair (Chairman) Independent Nonexecutive Director;
  • • Mr S F Higgs Independent Non-executive Director;
  • • Mr A W Lennon Non-executive Chairman (resigned from the Committee 26 June 2012); and
  • • Mr T J Allen Independent Non-executive Director (appointed to the Committee 26 June 2012).

Details of these Directors' attendance at Audit and Risk Management Committee meetings are set out at item 12 in the Directors' Report.

The Group Company Secretary acts as secretary to the Committee and attends its meetings.

Compliance Committee

The Compliance Committee is responsible for monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of the various Compliance Plans and functions governing the various Managed Investment Schemes for which Peet Funds Management Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peet Limited) acts as Responsible Entity and Custodian.

The members of the Compliance Committee during part or the whole of the financial year and up to the date of the Directors' Report were:

  • • Mr D Rundle (external member) was a practising accountant for over 40 years, including 11 years in public practice. In more recent times has been involved in property development, including being a member of the unit-holders advisory committee of Managed Investment Schemes managed by Peet.
  • • Mr A Hicks (external member) former partner of the firm currently known as RSM Bird Cameron. Mr Hicks spent his entire working life in public practice and is a Fellow of both CPA Australia and Institute of Chartered Accountants of Australia. Mr Hicks resigned, effective 27 March 2012, from the Committee.
  • • Mr G Sinclair (Independent Non-executive Director) was appointed to the Committee 27 March 2012.
  • • Mr Dom Scafetta (Group Company Secretary).

Peet's Compliance Officer acts as secretary to the Committee and attends its meetings.

The Compliance Plans of the Managed Investment Schemes have been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and are subject to ongoing review.

The Committee meets at least four times a year and is required to report breaches of the Corporations Act 2001, the Group's Australian Financial Services Licence and the various Managed Investment Schemes' Constitutions and Compliance Plans to the Board, which is then required to report to ASIC any significant breach of obligations.

Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL)

During the year ended 30 June 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of Peet Limited, Peet Funds Management Limited (PFML), applied to ASIC for an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) to replace Peet Limited as responsible entity of the Group's various Managed Investment Schemes.

The transfer of the responsible entity function to PFML was a result of an operational restructure conducted by the Peet Group. The restructure was undertaken primarily to improve the corporate governance and risk management of the Group by ensuring the operation of the Group's various Managed Investment Schemes is conducted by an entity, which is separate from Peet Limited and its trading activities.

The appointment of PFML as the Responsible Entity and Custodian of the Group's various Managed Investment Schemes came into effect 5 July 2012.

The Directors of PFML are:

  • • Mr G W Sinclair Independent Non-executive Director of Peet Limited;
  • • Mr B D Gore Managing Director & CEO of Peet Limited; and
  • • Mr A J Lennon Non-executive Director of Peet Limited.

Nomination Committee

No nomination committee currently exists.

Any changes to directorships will continue to be considered by the Remuneration Committee and the Board.

When a new director is to be appointed, the Board, together with the Remuneration Committee, will review the range of skills, experience and expertise on the Board, identify its needs and prepare a short-list of candidates with appropriate skills and experience. Where necessary, advice will be sought from independent search consultants.

The Board will then appoint the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the next annual general meeting of the Company. The Board's nomination of existing directors for reappointment is contingent on their past performance, contribution to the Company and the current and future needs of the Board and the Company.

Risk Management

The Board recognises the importance of managing the risks associated with Peet's business operations and has adopted a formal Risk Management Plan in keeping with its Risk Management Policy Statement, a copy of which is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company's website (www.peet.com.au).

Management is responsible for the design and implementation of the risk management framework and internal control systems to manage the Company's material business risks and to report to the Board on whether those risks are being managed effectively.

Individual business units are responsible for integrating the risk management framework within their business processes and systems.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee assists the Board in its risk management oversight function, receives reports from management on the Company's material business risks and monitors the effectiveness of risk management and internal control policies.

While the identification, monitoring and reporting of risks occurs continually, management reviews the Risk Management Plan periodically to ensure its ongoing relevance.

The Risk Management Plan represents a component of the overall internal controls of Peet to assist in risk management. Other internal controls include:

  • • establishing a company-wide code of conduct;
  • • the adoption of written policies and procedures;
  • • the delegation of authority across the various levels of the Company;
  • • establishment of reporting systems to monitor compliance;
  • • appointment of a compliance officer; and
  • • a network disaster recovery plan.

During the year, the Audit and Risk Management Committee and the Board received periodic reports on management's ongoing monitoring of, and action plans for, material business risks.

External Auditors

The Company and Audit and Risk Management Committee policy is to appoint external auditors who demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed periodically and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs.

PricewaterhouseCoopers was appointed as the external auditor of the Company in 1998. It is PricewaterhouseCoopers' policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years. The current lead audit partner, David J Smith, was first appointed for the 2008 financial year's audit and, accordingly, will be rotated off the audit for next year.

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditor, including a breakdown of fees for non-audit services, is provided in item 16 of the Directors' Report and in note 27 to the financial report.

The external auditor is requested to attend the Annual General Meeting and be available to answer shareholders' questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

Corporate Reporting

The following certifications required by the Corporations Act 2001 have been made to the Board:

  • • that the Company's financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial condition and operational results of the Company and Group and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; and
  • • that the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control and which implements the policies adopted by the Board and that the Company's risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects

Promotion of Ethical and Responsible Decision Making

Code of conduct

The Board believes that the success of the Peet Group has been, and will continue to be, enhanced by a strong ethical culture within the organisation. As the Peet Group grows, the need to ensure that ethical standards remain has led the Board to embrace policies to ensure that all directors, executives and employees act with the utmost integrity and objectivity in their dealings with all people that they come in contact with during their employment with the Peet Group.

The Company has documented the requirements to ensure that all legal and other compliance obligations to legitimate stakeholders are fully met. The various charters and policies are periodically reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure they reflect the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company's integrity.

Share trading guidelines

Employees

Employees, other than directors or senior management, may buy or sell Peet shares on the ASX in the period of 60 days commencing immediately following:

  • • the announcement of half-yearly results;
  • • the announcement of annual results; or
  • • the holding of the Annual General Meeting except where an employee is in possession of price sensitive information or where the Company is in possession of price sensitive information and has, during the 'window' set out above, notified the employee that they may not buy or sell shares during all or part of any such period.

Employees, other than directors or senior management, may also buy or sell Peet's shares during the period that Peet has a current prospectus or other form of disclosure document on issue pursuant to which persons may subscribe for shares.

During other periods

Outside of the 'window' period, all employees, other than directors or senior management, must receive clearance for any proposed dealing in Peet's shares on the ASX by informing and receiving approval from the Managing Director prior to undertaking a transaction.

Directors and senior management

Unless there are unusual circumstances, as determined by the Board, approval will not be given to enable directors and senior management to trade in Peet's shares outside the 'windows' discussed above.

Additionally, before directors and senior management can deal in Peet's shares during the windows previously mentioned, they must follow these procedures:

  • • a director of Peet (including the Managing Director) must notify the Chairman and Group Company Secretary prior to undertaking a transaction;
  • • the Chairman must notify the Board or the next most senior director, prior to undertaking a transaction; and
  • • senior management must notify the Managing Director and Group Company Secretary prior to undertaking a transaction.

ASX Listing Rule 3.19A requires a listed company to advise ASX of a change in a notifiable interest of a director no more than five business days after the change occurs. A director of Peet is required to complete a standard memorandum and pass it on to the Group Company Secretary when they either buy or sell securities in Peet. The standard memorandum includes confirmation as to whether or not the trade occurred outside the specified 'windows' where prior clearance was required, whether that clearance was granted, the date that clearance was granted, and for what period.

Members of Senior Management are required to complete a standard memorandum if they seek approval to trade in Peet's securities outside the approved trading windows.

Short-term dealing

Employees may not deal in Peet's securities on a 'short-swing' basis, except in circumstances of special hardship, with the Managing Director's approval. That is, employees may not buy and then sell securities within a three month period. In addition, employees may not enter into any other short-term dealings (for example, forward contracts) except with the approval of the Managing Director.

Hedging of unvested securities

The Company's Guidelines for Dealing in Securities prohibit the entering into of schemes by directors and employees to protect the value of unvested entitlements under any equity-based remuneration scheme.

Continuous disclosure policies and shareholder communication

The Company places a high priority on communication with shareholders and is aware of the obligations it has under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules, to keep the market fully informed of information which is not generally available and which may have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities.

The Company has adopted policies, which establish procedures to ensure that directors and management are aware of and fulfil their obligations in relation to the timely disclosure of material price sensitive information.

The Group Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX.

Information is communicated to shareholders as follows:

  • • The Annual and Half-yearly Financial Reports are lodged with the ASX, with the Annual Report made available for distribution to shareholders;
  • • Announcements of annual and interim results, broker/analyst presentations and other price sensitive information are made to the ASX; and
  • • Addresses made by the Chairman and Managing Director to the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Shareholders are entitled to attend the AGM and receive a notice of such meeting together with an explanatory memorandum of proposed resolutions (as appropriate). If shareholders cannot attend the AGM they are entitled to lodge a proxy in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Peet's Constitution.

A transcript of the addresses made by the Chairman and the Managing Director to the AGM is released to the ASX prior to the commencement of the AGM.

Additionally, all ASX announcements and other media releases are accessible via the Company's website.

5. Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year, other than those changes identified in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012.

6. Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year

Subsequent to year end the Group has renegotiated the terms of its debt facilities with its Lenders. The renegotiated terms more closely align with the Group's stated strategy to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce debt.

The Group was compliant with all banking covenants under the existing debt facilities, including having maintained significant headroom on its gearing covenants.

The Group has agreed the following covenant package:

  • • No Interest Cover Ratio ("ICR") covenant to apply until 30 September 2013 after which the ICR covenant becomes 1.25 times until 31 March 2014 and 2.25 times thereafter.
  • • Gearing covenant to step down from 52.5% (including Peet unsecured convertible notes) currently, to 40% by 1 January 2014 in stages.
  • • Debt facility limit (excluding Peet unsecured convertible notes) reduced to $200 million by 30 June 2014.

Consistent with our strategy to reduce gearing and our intention to apply the proceeds of contracted sales of non-core assets to retire debt, since lodging its Appendix 4E and Preliminary Consolidated Financial Statements in August, the directors have reclassified $38 million of drawn debt from non-current to current borrowings.

Except for the renegotiated debt facility discussed above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year, which have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

7. Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations

No further information as to the likely developments in the operations of the Consolidated Entity and the expected results of those operations in subsequent financial years has been included in this report because, in the opinion of the Directors, it would prejudice the interests of the Consolidated Entity.

Dividends declared or paid during the year were fully franked at the tax rate of 30%. No dividends have been declared in respect of the year ended 30 June 2012.

9. Environmental Regulation

The Consolidated Entity is subject to environmental regulation by way of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in respect of its land subdivision activities nationally; the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (as amended) and the Contaminated Sites Act 2003 in respect of its Western Australian land subdivision activities; the Environmental Protection Act 1970 (as amended) in respect of its Victorian land subdivision activities; the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (including Regulations 1998) and the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 in respect to its Queensland land subdivision activities; and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 in respect of its New South Wales land subdivision activities.

The Peet Group is not aware of any breaches of environmental regulations in respect of its activities. However, statutory authorities make enquiries, issue notices requiring documents and/or material to be provided, and undertake investigations or audits to confirm compliance with relevant regulations.

Greenhouse gas and energy data reporting requirements

The Consolidated Entity is also subject to the reporting requirements of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007, which requires the Group to report its annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy use if it emits greenhouse gases, produces energy, or consumes energy at or above specified GHG emission thresholds per financial year starting 1 July 2008.

The Group is not required to register and report to the Department of Climate Change as the Group's GHG emissions or energy consumption are below the reporting thresholds for the 2011 and 2012 reporting periods.

13. Retirement, Election and Continuation in Office of Directors

Directors are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company. Retirement will occur on a rotational basis so that one third of the Directors, but not less than two, shall retire at each AGM. The Directors may also appoint a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or in addition to the existing Directors, who will then hold office until the next AGM. No Director who is not the Managing Director, may hold office without re-election beyond the third AGM following the meeting at which the Director was last elected or re-elected.

At this year's AGM, T J Allen will retire and put himself up for election by members and both A W Lennon and G W Sinclair will retire by rotation and offer themselves for re-election. The balance of your Board of Directors recommends the election of T J Allen and the re-election of A W Lennon and G W Sinclair.

14. Remuneration Report

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

  • • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
  • • Details of remuneration
  • • Service agreements
  • • Share-based compensation
  • • Additional information

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Our current incentive scheme structures are designed in the context of the most challenging financial and property market seen in decades. In such challenging markets achieving budget and meeting bankers' and other stakeholders' immediate needs is difficult. Yet the challenge in competing against other businesses for the best managers has never been greater. Peet believes it has some of the most talented executives whose commitment and flexibility will enable Peet to emerge from the current market stronger.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the Company's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and creation of value for shareholders. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • • competitiveness and reasonableness;
  • • acceptability to shareholders;
  • • performance linkage/alignment to executive compensation; and
  • • capital management.

In consultation with external remuneration consultants, the Company has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the organisation through the following features:

Alignment to shareholders' interests:

  • • has earnings as a core component of plan design;
  • • focuses the executive on key financial and non-financial drivers of value; and
  • • attracts and retains high-calibre executives.

Alignment to program participants' interests:

  • • rewards capability and experience;
  • • provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and
  • • provides recognition for contribution.

The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay, and a blend of short (STI) and long-term incentives (LTI). As employees are promoted to executive and senior management roles within the Company, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of 'at risk' rewards.

14. Remuneration Report (continued) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

Non-executive Directors' fees

Fees and payments to Non-executive Directors reflect the demands, which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board considers, as appropriate, the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of Non-executive Directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration. Non-executive Directors do not receive share options or performance rights. Subject to the rules of the relevant share plan, Non-executive Directors may opt each year to receive a percentage of their remuneration in Peet Limited shares, which would be acquired on market. Shareholders approved this arrangement in June 2004.

The current base remuneration was last set with effect from 1 July 2006. The Chairman's and Non-executive Directors' remuneration is inclusive of committee fees and for their membership on any subsidiary Boards. From 1 July 2012 the fees payable to the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Management Committee have been increased by $15,000 each. Non-executive Directors' fees, including the Chairman's, are determined within an aggregate Directors' fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $600,000.

The Directors will be proposing a resolution at the 2012 AGM to increase the current aggregate Non-executive Directors' fees pool to $900,000.

The Non-executive Directors do not receive any form of retirement allowance.

Executive Director and other key management personnel pay

The Company's pay and reward framework for an executive director and other (non-director) key management personnel (together, the KMPs) has four components:

  • • base pay and benefits;
  • • short-term performance incentives;
  • • long-term incentives through participation in the Peet Limited Employee Share Option Plan (PESOP) and the Peet Limited Performance Rights Plan (PPRP); and
  • • other remuneration such as superannuation.

The combination of these comprises the total remuneration for the KMPs.

Base pay

The base pay for KMPs is structured as a total employment cost package, which may be delivered as a mix of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits.

KMPs are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. As and when considered appropriate, external remuneration consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base pay is reviewed annually to ensure it remains competitive with the market.

The Company notes that despite being contractually entitled to an increase in his fixed remuneration of at least the rate of CPI, Mr B D Gore (Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer) has agreed to maintain his base pay and superannuation for the year ending 30 June 2013 at the same level as for the year ended 30 June 2012.

14. Remuneration Report (continued) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

Short-term Incentives (STI)

KMPs have a target STI opportunity depending on the accountabilities of the role and impact on the Group's performance. The maximum target bonus opportunity for the KMPs for the years ended 30 June 2011 and 2012 ranged between 100% (for the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer) and 20% (for the Group Company Secretary) of the relevant KMP's total base salary and superannuation. However, the Board of Directors has the discretion to pay over and above these amounts.

Each year, the Remuneration Committee considers the appropriate targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) to link to the STI plan and the level of payout if targets are met for the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD). This may include setting any maximum payout under the STI plan and minimum levels of performance to trigger payment of STI. The MD will then set the STI KPIs to apply to his direct reports (being the balance of KMPs).

For the years ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, the KPIs linked to STI plans were based on Group, individual business and personal objectives. The KPIs required performance in achieving specific earnings and operational targets, taking into account prevailing market conditions.

No STIs were paid to, or accrued for, KMPs in respect of the year ended 30 June 2012 with the entitlement to such forgone.

Voting and comments made at the company's 2011 Annual General Meeting

14. Remuneration Report (continued)

Share-based compensation

Options over shares in Peet Limited are granted under the PESOP, which was approved by the Board and shareholders during the 2004 financial year. Performance rights over shares in Peet Limited are granted under the PPRP, which was approved by shareholders at the 2008 AGM. Employees of any Peet Group Company (including Executive Directors) will be eligible to participate in the PESOP and/or PPRP at the discretion of the Board.

The PESOP and PPRP are designed to provide long-term incentives for executives to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plans, participants are granted options and/or performance rights which only vest if the employees are still employed by the Group at the end of the vesting period and any performance hurdles set have been met. Participation in the plans is at the Board's discretion.

Invitations to apply for options and/or performance rights

Eligible employees, at the discretion of the Board, may be invited to apply for options and/or performance rights on terms and conditions to be determined by the Board including as to:

  • • the method of calculation of the exercise price of each option;
  • • the number of options and/or performance rights being offered and the maximum number of shares over which each option and/or performance right is granted;
  • • the period or periods during which any of the options and/or performance rights may be exercised;
  • • the dates and times when the options and/or performance rights lapse;
  • • the date and time by which the application for options and/or performance rights must be received by Peet; and
  • • any applicable conditions which must be satisfied or circumstances which must exist before the options and/or performance rights may be exercised.

Eligible employees may apply for part of the options and/or performance rights offered to them, but only in specified multiples.

Consideration

Unless the Board determines otherwise, no payment will be required for a grant of options and/or performance rights under the PESOP and/or PPRP.

Exercise conditions

Generally, as a pre-condition to exercise, any exercise conditions in respect of an option and/or performance right must be satisfied. However, the Board has the discretion to enable an option and/or performance right holder to exercise options and/or performance rights where the exercise conditions have not been met, including, for example, where a court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed compromise or arrangement in respect of the Company, or a resolution is passed or an order is made for winding up the Company.

Options granted under the PESOP and performance rights granted under the PPRP carry no dividend or voting rights.

Lapse of options and/or performance rights

Unexercised options and/or performance rights will lapse upon the earlier to occur of a variety of events specified in the rules of the PESOP and PPRP including, on the date or in circumstances specified by the Board in the invitation, failure to meet the options' or performance rights' exercise conditions in the prescribed period or on a specified anniversary date of grant of the options or performance rights, as determined by the Board.

Note 1

Under AASB 2 Share-based payments the issue of a share-based payment award to a Director requires shareholder approval and the value at grant date is taken as the date at which that approval is granted. Accordingly the value of these performance rights is based on 16 November 2010 and 15 November 2011, being the dates of Peet Limited's 2010 and 2011 AGMs, respectively.

Note 2

These options are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis at the exercise price after the fourth anniversary of the grant date.

The exercise condition in respect of these options is that B D Gore remains employed as Managing Director for a period of four years. While the service period requirement has been met, the options have not been exercised.

Note 3

These options and performance rights are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis. The vesting condition is based on earnings per share (EPS), with a target level expressed as an average per annum growth over the four-year vesting period, with the base year being 30 June 2008. The EPS hurdle operates as follows:

PERFORMANCE LEVEL AVERAGE FOUR-YEAR EPS GROWTH PROPORTION OF OPTIONS AND PERFORMANCERIGHTS THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than the threshold Peet's average 4-year EPS growthis less than 5% per annum 0%
Threshold Peet's average 4-year EPS growthis 5% per annum 50%
Threshold – maximum Peet's average 4-year EPS growthis between 5% to 8% per annum Pro-rata between 50% and 100%
Maximum Peet's average 4-year EPS growthis above 8% per annum 100%

As the vesting condition for these options and performance rights was not met, the Directors resolved as at 25 September 2012 that they will not vest.

Note 4

These performance rights are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 50% subject to the Net Operating Profit after Tax (Net Profit after Tax before write-down in the carrying value of inventories) (NOPAT) growth vesting condition.

NOPAT growth is measured as the average increase in NOPAT over the three-year performance period, with the base year being 30 June 2009. The NOPAT growth hurdle operates as follows:

PERFORMANCE LEVEL THREE-YEAR NOPAT TARGET PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTSTHAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than the target Peet's average 3-year NOPAT growthis less than 8% per annum 0%
Target Peet's average 3-year NOPAT growthis 8% per annum 25%
Target – maximum Peet's average 3-year NOPAT growthis between 8% to 12% per annum Pro-rata between 25% and 100%
Maximum Peet's average 3-year NOPAT growthis above 12% per annum 100%

The Directors resolved, as at 21 August 2012, that the NOPAT growth performance condition was not achieved and the performance rights linked to it did not vest.

Note 5

These performance rights are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 50% subject to the Funds under Management (FUM) growth vesting condition.

FUM growth is measured as the cumulative value of properties:

  • • acquired by Peet on balance sheet and subsequently sold into a Peet syndicate; or
  • • funded by way of a Peet syndicate; or
  • • for which Peet has been appointed a joint venture partner; or
  • • for which Peet has been appointed development manager during the performance period.

The aggregate of the FUM growth during the performance period is then compared to the FUM growth target set by the Board. Of the performance rights subject to FUM growth, the proportion to vest will be as follows:

PERFORMANCE LEVEL AGGREGATE FUM GROWTH TARGETDURING PERFORMANCE PERIOD PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTSTHAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than the target Less than $60 million 0%
Target $60 million 50%
Target - maximum $60 million to $100 million Pro-rata between 50% and 100%
Maximum Greater than $100 million 100%

The FUM Growth performance condition was met for the performance period ended 30 June 2012 and the Directors resolved, as at 21 August 2012, that the performance rights relating thereto vested.

The performance rights linked to FUM growth in respect of the performance periods ending 30 June 2013 and 2014 remain unvested.

Note 6

These performance rights are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 50% subject to the relative Return on Equity (ROE) vesting condition.

Relative ROE is measured as the average net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) over the three-year vesting period compared to the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials. The ROE hurdle operates as follows:

PERFORMANCE LEVEL ROE RESULT COMPARED TOS&P/ASX 200 INDUSTRIALS PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTSTHAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than the target Below 50th percentile 0%
Target Equal to 50th percentile 50%
Target – maximum Between 50th and 70th percentile Pro-rata between 50% and 100%
Maximum Greater than 70th percentile 100%

The Board has the discretion to amend the calculation of ROE to take account of capital raisings, approved by the Board for the long-term benefit of the Company, but which have short-term implications on the calculation of ROE.

These performance rights remain unvested.

Option and performance rights holdings

The number of options and performance rights over unissued ordinary shares in the Company held during the financial year by each Director and each of the other key management personnel of the Consolidated Entity, including their personallyrelated entities, are set out below. When exercisable, each option and performance right is convertible into one ordinary share of Peet Limited. Further information on the options and performance rights is set out in note 38 to the financial statements.

Details of remuneration: cash bonuses, options and performance rights

For each cash bonus, grant of options and/or performance rights included in the tables within the remuneration report, the percentage of the available bonus or grant that was paid, or that vested in the financial year, and the percentage that was forfeited because the person did not meet the service and performance criteria, is set out below. Generally no part of the bonuses forfeited is payable in future years. Subject to the rules of the PESOP and PPRP no options or performance rights will vest if the conditions are not satisfied, hence the minimum value of the option and performance rights yet to vest is nil. The maximum value of the options and performance rights yet to vest has been determined as the amount of the grant date fair value of the options and performance rights that is yet to be expensed.

Loans to Directors and other key management personnel

There were no loans made to any Directors or any of the other key management personnel of the Group, or their personallyrelated entities, during the financial year.

15. Insurance of Officers and Auditors

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of Directors' and Officers' liability that insures Directors and Officers of the Company. The liabilities insured are costs and expenses that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the Directors and Officers in their capacity as such. The Directors have not included more specific details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in respect of Directors' and Officers' liability, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

The Company has not during, or since the beginning of the financial year, in respect of any person who is or has been an auditor of the Company, paid, or agreed to pay, a premium in respect of a contract, that insures against any liability, including liability for costs or expenses to defend legal proceedings.

16. Non-Audit Services

The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor's expertise and experience with the Company and/or the Consolidated Entity are considered important.

The Board of Directors has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit and Risk Management Committee, is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor, as set out below, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • • all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Management Committee to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and
  • • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

During the year the following fees were paid or payable for services provided by the auditor of the Consolidated Entity, its related practices and non-related audit firms: CONSOLIDATED

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements include separate financial statements for Peet Limited as an individual entity and the Consolidated Entity consisting of Peet Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Peet Limted Group is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial statements of the Peet Limited Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2011:

• AASB 2010-3 and AABS 2010-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project.

The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative instruments and available for sale financial assets which have been measured at fair value.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group'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 3.

Comparatives

The comparative revenues and expenses in the income statement, assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and cash flow movements in the statement of cash flows have been reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability and understanding of the financial statements. There is no impact on the profit and net asset position of the Group in the prior year.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

(b) Principles of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of Peet Limited ('Parent Entity') as at 30 June 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Peet Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding 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 the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group (refer to note 1(f)).

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Peet Limited. Such investments include both investments in shares issued by the subsidiary and other Parent Entity interests that in substance form part of the Parent Entity's investment in the subsidiary. These include investments in the form of interest- free loans which have no fixed repayment terms and which have been provided to subsidiaries as an additional source of long-term capital.

(ii) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. In the case of land syndicates, significant influence can exist with a lower shareholding by virtue of the Group's position as syndicate manager. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.

The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses are recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post- acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

(b) Principles of consolidation (continued)

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

(iii) Joint ventures

Jointly controlled operations

In respect of its interests in jointly controlled operations the Group recognises in its financial statements the assets that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs. The expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the joint venture are also recognised.

Jointly controlled entities

The interest in jointly controlled entities is accounted for using the equity method after initially being recognised at cost. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the jointly controlled entities is recognised in the profit or loss, and the share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. Details relating to jointly controlled entities are set out in note 34.

Profits or losses on transactions establishing the jointly controlled entities and transactions with the jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group's ownership interest until such time as they are realised by the jointly controlled entities on consumption or sale. A loss on the transaction is recognised immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets, or an impairment loss.

(iv) Changes in ownership interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests 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 and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Peet Limited.

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 purposes 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 the Group 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 a jointly-controlled entity or an associate 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.

(c) 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 executive management group.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, allowances, and duties and taxes paid. The following special recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of land

Revenue and profits from the sale of blocks from completed stages of land subdivision are recognised on settlement of the sale. This represents the point when risks and rewards have passed to the buyer.

Project management, marketing and selling management fees

Project management, marketing and selling management fees are recognised where there is a signed contract as this is the point at which revenue has been earned.

Manager's performance fees

Manager's performance fee revenue is recognised at the end of each reporting period and is based on a profitability measurement in accordance with the relevant Management Agreement.

Other trading activities

Revenue from other trading activities is recognised when the service required under the contract has been performed.

Interest income

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

Dividend income

Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.

(e) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period'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 financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

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 for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the 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.

(e) Income Tax (continued)

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the Company 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. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. 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.

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.

Tax consolidation legislation

Peet Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003.

The head entity, Peet 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, Peet 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 with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Details about the tax funding agreement are disclosed in note 7.

Any difference between the amount assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) the wholly owned entity.

(f) Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary 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 asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

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 non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets.

(f) Business combinations (continued)

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest 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 subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as 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.

(g) Impairment of assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite 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. For the purposes 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 (cash generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting period.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the 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 statement of financial position.

(i) 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. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 - 60 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date. Other receivables are recognised on an accrual basis as the services to which they relate are performed.

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 the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment 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. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(i) Trade receivables (continued)

The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the provision for impairment of trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the income statement.

(j) Inventories

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.

Land purchased for residential subdivision is classified as non-current. They are reclassified as current when lots within the subdivision are expected to be sold within 12 months.

(k) Current assets classified as held for sale

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, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

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 current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.

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.

Current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.

(l) Investments and other financial assets

Classification

The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: loans and receivables, 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 re-evaluates this designation at the end of each reporting date.

(i) 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 are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position.

(l) Investments and other financial assets (continued)

(ii) 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 management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance date.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.

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 carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit and 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 the income statement within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit and loss is recognised in the income statement as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

Fair value

Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 1(p).

Impairment

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through the income statement.

(m) Derivatives

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 each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of the cash flows of recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

(m) Derivatives (continued)

The Group documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group 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 fair value of the derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes is disclosed in note 11. Movements in the hedging reserve in shareholders' equity are shown in note 25. 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.

Cash flow hedge

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 reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement within finance costs.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for instance when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). However when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in a recognition of a non-financial asset (for example inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains or 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 the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately reclassified to the income statement.

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 the income statement in the period in which they occur.

(n) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are shown at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment 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:

  • • Plant and equipment 1 to 5 years
  • • Property 40 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.

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 (note 1(g)).

(n) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement.

Properties under construction

Property under construction is carried at cost and is not depreciated until the asset is available and ready for use.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

(o) Intangible assets - Management rights

The management rights acquired by the Company are initially carried at cost. Amortisation is calculated based on the timing of projected cash flows of the management rights over their estimated useful lives.

(p) 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 balance date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted securities) is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, 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 carrying amount less impairment provision 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 the Group for similar financial instruments.

(q) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and 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 their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(r) Land vendor liabilities

Where the Group or Parent Entity enters into unconditional contracts with land vendors to purchase properties for future development that contain deferred payment terms, these borrowings are disclosed at their present value. The unwinding of the discount applied to the acquisition price is included in finance costs.

(s) 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 the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent, there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non- convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in reserves, net of income tax effects.

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 in the period they are incurred. The capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of finance costs to be capitalised is the weighted average interest rate applicable to the Group's outstanding borrowings during the year.

(t) Provisions

Provisions for legal and other claims are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an out flow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Refer to note 1(u) for provisions for rebates.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an out flow will be required at settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an out flow 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 balance date. 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.

(u) Rebates

The Company may be required under the terms of certain sale contracts to provide rebates for expenditures undertaken by land holders in respect of Peet developments. These expenditures relate to landscaping and fencing and are generally payable where the land purchaser completes the construction of their dwelling within a specified period of time. This period is generally twelve to eighteen months from the date of settlement. A liability is recorded at settlement and a related adjustment to revenue is recorded upon the expiration of the time limit if the rebate has not been paid.

(v) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the discounted cash flow 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 market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash out flows.

(iii) Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Employee Share Option Plan, Performance Rights Plan and Deferred Employee Share Plan. Information relating to these plans is set out in note 38.

The fair value of options granted under the Employee Share Option Plan and Performance Rights Plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options and/or performance rights.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model and the value of a performance right at grant date is determined using a Binomial pricing model. The model takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option and/or performance right, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non- tradeable nature of the option or performance right, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option and/or performance rights.

The fair value of the options and/or performance rights granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Nonmarket vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options and/or performance rights that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Upon the exercise of options and/or performance rights, the balance of the share based payments reserve relating to those options and/or performance rights is transferred to share capital and the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs.

(iv) Profit sharing and bonus plans

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company's shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(v) Employee benefits (continued)

(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. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance date are discounted to present value.

(vi) Retirement benefit obligations

Contributions to defined contribution funds 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.

(w) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options and/or performance rights are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, options and/or performance rights for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

(x) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period, but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

(y) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Parent Entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

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

(z) 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 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 flows.

(aa) Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the 'rounding off' of amounts in the financial statements. Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(ab) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2012 reporting periods. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

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. Financial Risk Management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; credit risk, price risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, ie not as trading or other speculative instruments.

Financial risk management is carried out by the accounting and finance department under policies approved by the Board of Directors and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The department identifies, evaluates and mitigates financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. The Board and Audit and Risk Management Committee provide written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as mitigating interest rate and credit risks, use of derivative financial instruments and investing excess liquidity.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group and the Parent Entity, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and derivative financial instruments.

Credit risk further arises in relation to financial guarantees given to parties as set out in note 28.

The Group manages this risk by:

  • • transacting with credit worthy counterparties that have an appropriate credit history;
  • • utilising ISDA agreements with derivative counterparties in order to limit exposure to credit risk through the netting of amounts receivable from and amounts payable to individual counterparties;
  • • providing loans as an investment into joint ventures and associates where it is comfortable with the underlying property exposure within that entity;
  • • performing ongoing checks to ensure that settlement terms detailed in individual contracts are adhered to;
  • • regularly monitoring the performance of its associates, joint ventures and third parties; and obtaining collateral as security (where appropriate).

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at 30 June 2012 is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised in the table below:

(a) Credit risk (continued)

Cash

The cash component of financial assets is considered to have low credit risk as the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The National Australia Bank (NAB) and ANZ are the only concentration of credit risk for the Group and the Parent Entity.

Receivables

The credit risk arising on trade and other receivables is monitored on an ongoing basis with the results that the exposure to bad debts for the Group or the Parent Entity is not significant. There are no significant financial assets that have had renegotiated terms that would otherwise have been past due or impaired.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables as at 30 June 2012 for the Group and the Parent Entity is as follows:

  1. Past Due Not Impaired (PDNI).

Based on the credit history of these classes, it is expected that these amounts will be received. The Group and the Parent Entity do not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables. There is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables as the Group and the Parent Entity have a large number of balances with related parties and the remaining with other parties that have a good credit history with the Group and the Parent Entity.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group and the Parent Entity limit their exposure to credit risk associated with future payments from interest rate swaps by contracting with reputable major financial institutions subject to regulation in Australia.

(b) Price risk

The Group and the Parent Entity are exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Group and classified on the statement of financial position as available for sale financial assets.

The Group and the Parent Entity hold units in the Peet Income Property Fund (note 14). Peet Limited is the responsible entity for Peet Income Property Fund. The price risk for the unlisted securities is immaterial in terms of the possible impact on profit or loss or total equity. It has therefore not been included in the sensitivity analysis.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Group and the Parent Entity, as a result of their operations:

  • • will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on that date;
  • • will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; or
  • • may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at all.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities (note 21 (c)) to meet obligations when due, and the ability to close-out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Group aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available, and regularly updating and reviewing its cash flow forecasts to assist in managing its liquidity.

Financing arrangements

Included in note 21 (c) is a listing of unused borrowing facilities that the Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The table below analyses the Group's and the Parent Entity's financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows, updated for the renegotiated debt facilities as detailed in note 32, except for interest rate swaps where the cash flows have been estimated using forward interest rates applicable at the reporting date.

(d) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group's main interest rate risks arise from cash and long-term borrowings.

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.

The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, the Group raises long-term borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are lower than those available if the Group borrowed at fixed rates directly. Under the interest rate swaps, the Group agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (mainly monthly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.

The Group's fixed rate borrowings and receivables are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in AASB 7.

(d) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk (continued)

As at the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following cash, variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts outstanding:

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates in existence at balance date, and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease used in the interest rate sensitivity analysis was determined based on the Group's relationship with financial institutions, the level of debt that was renewed and forecasters' economic expectations and represents management's assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

(e) Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures 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 1);
  • • inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and
  • • inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The following tables present the Group's and the Parent Entity's assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011.

(e) Fair value measurements (continued)

Any change in level 3 instruments relating to fair value adjustments would be recognised in the statements of other comprehensive income.

For financial instruments not quoted in active markets, the Company uses valuation techniques such as present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist and other relevant models used by market participants. These valuation techniques use both observable market inputs. These instruments are included in level 2.

The fair value of available for sale assets (included in level 3) have been estimated using valuation techniques based on assumptions, which are not supported by observable market prices or rates.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The material estimates and assumptions in these financial statements include:

Estimate of sales fall-over rates on project management, marketing and selling management fees.

An analysis of sales fall-overs is performed on a monthly basis for all business segments by location, and updated at each reporting date to determine the appropriateness of the accruals of sales fall-overs recognised in the value of project, marketing and selling management fees in accrued income.

Inventories

The Group is required to carry inventory at lower of cost or net realisable value. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Estimates of net realisable value are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made, of the amount the inventories are expected to realise and the estimate of costs to complete. These estimates take into consideration fluctuations of price or costs directly related to events occurring after the end of the period to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at the end of the period. The key assumptions require the use of management judgement and are reviewed annually. The basis of the valuation for land owned by the Group is set out in note 10. The Group has expensed $21,248,000 (2011: $31,251,000) in relation to inventory that was carried in excess of the net realisable value and development costs.

4. Segment Information

Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the executive management group.

The executive management group assesses the performance of the operating segments based on multiple measures including EBITDA, EBIT and profit after tax.

The executive management group considers the business to have the following three reportable business segments:

Funds management/land syndication

External equity capital raisings are undertaken to fund the acquisition of land across Australia. The Consolidated Entity derives fees from underwriting and capital raising coordination services, as well as asset identification fees from this activity. Ongoing project related fees are then derived by the Consolidated Entity for the duration of a particular project.

Company-owned projects

Purchase and development of various parcels of land in Australia, primarily for residential purposes. However, certain land holdings will also produce non-residential blocks of land.

Joint ventures

Joint ventures are formed with government, statutory authorities and private landowners. The joint venture partner will normally contribute the land and the Consolidated Entity funds the development costs. The Company is typically entitled to ongoing fees for management of the development project and also a share of the profits.

For internal reporting purposes management consider both 'The Village at Wellard' and 'Quattro – The New Queens Park' projects to be joint ventures. Quattro, however, is not considered a joint venture for statutory reporting purposes. The Consolidated Entity operates only in Australia.

Inter-segment transfers

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

Peet Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003. The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in note 1 (e).

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, Peet Limited.

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly owned entities fully compensate Peet Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are not compensated by Peet Limited for any unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to the Parent Entity 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 financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments.

(a) Impaired trade receivables

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally have 30-60 day terms. There were no impaired trade receivables and hence no provision for impaired trade receivables at the end of the year for either the Group or the Parent Entity (2011: $nil)

(b) Accrued income

These amounts represent project management and performance fees from associates.

(c) Other debtors

These receivables are related to sundry debtors, bonds recoverable and GST recoverable. Amounts relating to other debtors are expected to be received within a year.

(d) Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. The fair value of securities held for certain trade receivables is insignificant as is the fair value of any collateral sold or pledged. Refer to note 2 for more information on the risk management policy of the Group and the credit quality of the entity's trade receivables.

(e) Deferred facilities fee

Homes in the Lattitude Lakelands retirement village are sold to approved applicants on condition that every purchaser enters into an "Estate Lifestyle Agreement" with Secure Living Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Peet Limited The agreement includes a requirement to pay deferred facilities fees on departure by the resident, which is based on 3% of the market value of the unit (at the time of sale and departure) for each year of occupation up to a maximum of 24%. As at 30 June 2012, the deferred facilities fee is accrued based on the independent valuation of the properties.

The Group is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business in order to hedge exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in accordance with the Group's financial risk management policies (note 2).

Interest rate swap contracts - cash flow hedges

Bank loans of the Group currently bear a weighted average variable interest rate before hedges of 4.60% (2011: 4.83%) It is the Group's policy to protect part of the loans from exposure to increasing interest rates. Accordingly, the Group has entered into interest rate swap contracts under which it is obliged to receive interest at variable rates and to pay interest at fixed rates.

Swaps currently cover approximately 63% (2011: 89%) of the variable loan principal outstanding and are timed to expire as each loan repayment falls due. The fixed interest rate swaps range between 4.71% and 5.08% (2011: 4.10% and 5.08%) and the variable rates are between 3.69% and 4.97% (2011: 4.65% and 5.08%).

The contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable monthly. The settlement dates coincide with the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. The contracts are settled on a net basis.

At 30 June 2012, the notional principal amounts and periods of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts were as follows:

150,000 200,000 - -

The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instruments at fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income and deferred in equity in the hedge reserve, to the extent that the hedge is effective. It is reclassified into profit or loss when the hedged interest expense is recognised. The ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement immediately. There was no ineffectiveness in the current or prior year.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments (Current and Non-Current)(continued)

In relation to the other loans (note 21), $131,442 was transferred from the hedge reserve to finance costs in the current year (2011: $1,441,000).

In addition to the interest rate swap contracts noted above, the Group also has a further interest rate swap contract classified as held for sale (note 12).

Interest rate swap contracts - cash flow hedges

Bank loans included in liabilities classified as held for sale currently bear a weighted average variable interest rate before hedges of 4.55% (2011: 4.86%). It is the Company's policy to protect part of the loans from exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Accordingly, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract under which it is obliged to receive nterest at a variable rate and to pay interest at a fixed rate.

The swap currently in place covers approximately 66% (2011: 52%) of the loan principal outstanding and is timed to expire as each loan repayment falls due. The fixed interest rate is 5.69% (2011: 5.69%) and the variable rates are between 3.73% and 4.91% (2011: 4.84% and 4.88%).

The contract requires settlement of net interest receivable or payable monthly. The settlement date coincides with the date on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. The contract is settled on a net basis.

At 30 June 2012, the notional principal amount was $15,000,000 (2011: $15,000,000) and is due to expire on 10 January 2014.

Cash flow hedges are assessed at each reporting date to ensure they are effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the cash flows from the underlying hedged items. When an assessment of a hedge is undertaken the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge is recognised in the comprehensive income and in the hedge reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge is recognised immediately in the income statement within finance costs. The hedges were assessed as being fully effective in the current and prior year.

(c) Transactions with non-controlling interests

In December 2010, Peet No 113 Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Peet Limited) sold down by syndication 33.5% of its investment in Peet Yanchep Land Syndicate ("Syndicate") for $13,803,000 (being $0.75 per unit). In February 2011, Peet No 113 Pty Ltd sold down a further 0.1% of its investment in the Syndicate for $57,000 (being $0.75 per unit). The difference between the book value of the assets disposed and the proceeds received has been recognised in the non-controlling interest reserve.

In September 2011 the Syndicate made a further call of $0.25 per unit on the holders of all $1.00 ordinary class units previously partly paid to $0.75. As such the Peet Group received $4,620,000 from non-controlling interests.

The assets and liabilities of the Syndicate have been classified as held for sale as the directors of Peet Limited are actively in the process of preparing to market the sell down of units held by Peet No 113 Pty Ltd. It is the directors' intention to sell down to a non- controlling interest.

(b) Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Parent Entity in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.

On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share held is entitled to one vote.

(c) Options

Information relating to the Peet Limited Employee Share Option Plan, including details of the options issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year and options outstanding at the end of the financial year, is set out in note 38.

(d) Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

The Company's DRP provided shareholders with an opportunity to acquire additional shares in the Company during the year.

(e) Transaction costs

The transaction costs represent the costs of issuing the shares under the Share Purchase Plan.

(f) Capital risk management

The Group's and the Parent Entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group and the Parent Entity monitor capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total interest bearing liabilities (including deferred payment obligations) less cash divided by total assets adjusted for market value net of cash and cash equivalents less intangible assets. At 30 June 2012, the gearing ratio was 39.7% (2011: 33.5%).

Subsequent to the end of the financial year the Group renegotiated the team of its debt facility with its lenders. The details are set out in note 32.

e) Outstanding balances (continued)

Trade and other receivables include amounts owing by associates in respect of project management fees, performance fees and accrued commission receivable on sales. Unless otherwise agreed outstanding balances at year end, including loans advanced to associates are unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivable.

The Group has agreed to provide certain associates of the Group with short-term working capital loan facilities on commercial terms. Details of these loans are as follows:

ASSOCIATE LOAN FACILITY LIMIT INTEREST RATE EXPIRY DATE
Peet Tri State Syndicate Limited $13,000,000 4% above BBSY per annum 01 Nov 13
Peet Beachton Syndicate Limited $13,000,000 4% above BBSY per annum 02 Oct 12
Peet Bayonet Head Syndicate Limited $1,200,000 4% above BBSY per annum 02 Oct 13
Peet Forrestdale Syndicate Limited $3,000,000 4% above BBSY per annum 02 Oct 12

During the year the Group provided net financial support of $305,704 (2011:$2,204,000) to Peet & Co Casey Land Syndicate Limited. As at the date of signing this report documentation in regards to the funds provided has yet to be finalised.

In January 2012 the two subordinate loans previously provided ($2,161,000 in July 2010 and $2,130,000 in October 2009) to Peet Alkimos Pty Limited were amalgamated into one subordinate loan agreement at an interest rate of 14% per annum, and is due to expire December 2014. In addition and as part of the restructure, the Group also provided a further loan of $538,185 on the same terms.

The Group continues to provide a bank guarantee facility to Peet Alkimos Pty Limited, an associate of the Group. The facility is for $5,000,000 and is due to expire in December 2012. A procurement fee equal to 6% per annum on the face value of all bank guarantees issued is payable by Peet Alkimos Pty Limted on the expiry of the agreement.

The Group has provided loans to Peet Caboolture Syndicate Limited totalling $5,886,000 (2011: $5,522,000) These loans represents Peet's 20% towards repaying the syndicate's $29,431,485 (2011: $27,610,000) debt facility, with the other shareholder also contributing funds. Interest on the loans are 3% and 5% above BBSY per annum (2011: interest free). The loans have fixed expiry dates in tranches commencing July 2013 and completing in December 2016.

The Group provided a Guarantee and Indemnity to National Australia Bank in order for Peet Caboolture Syndicate Limited to receive an $11,000,000 bank guarantee facility from National Australia Bank. The facility enabled the syndicate to receive funding for the construction of an entry bridge into the project. Peet Limited is liable for 20% of any call made under the guarantee and indemnity, with the other shareholders liable for the remaining 80%.

Allowance for impairment loss on trade receivables

For the year ended 30 June 2012, the Group has made an allowance for impairment losses of $319,324 relating to an amount owed by related party Peet & Co Casey Land Syndicate Limited. The impairment reflects the recoverability of the loan on wind up of the syndicate. No other loans have required impairment for the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: $nil). An impairment assessment is undertaken each financial year by examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates to determine whether there is objective evidence that a related party receivable is impaired. When such objective evidence exists, the Group recognises an allowance for impairment loss.

32. Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year

Subsequent to year end the Group has renegotiated the terms of its debt facilities with its Lenders. The renegotiated terms more closely align with the Group's stated strategy to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce debt.

The Group was compliant with all banking covenants under the existing debt facilities, including having maintained significant headroom on its gearing covenants.

The Group has agreed the following covenant package:

  • • No Interest Cover Ratio ("ICR") covenant to apply until 30 September 2013 after which the ICR covenant becomes 1.25 times until 31 March 2014 and 2.25 times thereafter.
  • • Gearing covenant to step down from 52.5% (including Peet unsecured convertible notes) currently, to 40% by 1 January 2014 in stages.
  • • Debt facility limit (excluding Peet unsecured convertible notes) reduced to $200 million by 30 June 2014.

Consistent with our strategy to reduce gearing and our intention to apply the proceeds of contracted sales of non-core assets to retire debt, since lodging its Appendix 4E and Preliminary Consolidated Financial Statements in August, the directors have reclassified $38 million of drawn debt from non-current to current borrowings.

Except for the renegotiated debt facility discussed above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year, which have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

38. Share Based Payments

(a) Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) and Performance Rights Plan (PRP)

The establishment of the Peet Limited ESOP was approved by the Board and shareholders during the 2004 financial year and the Peet Limited PRP was approved by shareholders at the 2008 AGM. Employees of any Peet Group Company (including Executive Directors) will be eligible to participate in the ESOP and/or PRP at the discretion of the Board.

Invitations to apply for options and/or performance rights

Eligible employees, at the discretion of the Board, may be invited to apply for options and/or performance rights on terms and conditions to be determined by the Board including as to:

  • • the method of calculation of the exercise price of each option;
  • • the number of options and/or performance rights being offered and the maximum number of shares over which each option and/or performance rights is granted;
  • • the period or periods during which any of the options and/or performance rights may be exercised;
  • • the dates and times when the options and/or performance rights lapse;
  • • the date and time by which the application for options and/or performance rights must be received by Peet; and
  • • any applicable conditions which must be satisfied or circumstances which must exist before the options and/or performance rights may be exercised

Eligible employees may apply for part of the options and/or performance rights offered to them, but only in specified multiples.

Consideration

Unless the Board determines otherwise, no payment will be required for a grant of options and/or performance rights under the ESOP and/or PRP.

Exercise conditions

Generally, as a pre-condition to exercise, any exercise conditions in respect of an option and/or performance right must be satisfied. However, the Board has the discretion to enable an option and/or performance right holder to exercise options and/or performance rights where the exercise conditions have not been met, including, for example, where a court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed compromise or arrangement in respect of the Company, or a resolution is passed or an order is made for winding up the Company.

Options granted under the ESOP and performance rights under the PRP carry no dividend or voting rights

Lapse of options and performance rights

Unexercised options and/or performance rights will lapse upon the earlier to occur of a variety of events specified in the rules of the ESOP and PRP including, on the date or in circumstances specified by the Board in the invitation, failure to meet the options' or performance rights' exercise conditions in the prescribed period or on the expiry date of options and/ or performance rights, as determined by the Board.

Fair value of options and performance rights granted

The fair value of an option at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the value of a performance right at grant date is determined using a Binomial pricing model. The models take into account the exercise price, the term of the option and/or performance right, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option or performance right, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option and/or performance right.

The inputs for assessing the fair value of the options granted under the ESOP and performance rights under the PRP were:

  1. Under AASB 2 Share-based payment the issue of a share-based payment award to a Director requires shareholder approval and the value at grant date is taken as the date at which that approval is granted. Accordingly the value of these performance rights is based on 16 November 2010 and 15 November 2011, being the dates of Peet Limited's AGM.

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options and/or performance rights), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Peet Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Peet Limited (the company), which comprises the statements of financial position as at 30 June 2012, and the income statements, the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for both Peet Limited and the Peet Group (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation 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. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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 opinions.

Independence

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