3. Review of operations and consolidated results
Operating and financial review
Key results1
- Operating profit2 and statutory profit3 after tax of \$28.5 million
- Earnings per share of 5.9 cents per share
- FY21 dividends of 3.5 cents per share, fully franked
- Revenue4 of \$234.3 million, with 2,980 lots settled
- EBITDA5 of \$58.1 million
- 1,948 contracts on hand6 as at 30 June 2021
- Gearing7 of 24.8%
Financial commentary
The Peet Group achieved an operating profit2 and statutory profit3 after tax of \$28.5 million for the year ended 30 June 2021 ("FY21"), which represent increases of 89% and 195%, respectively on FY20. The profit for FY21 is at the upper end of the earnings guidance announced to the market in July 2021 of an earnings range of \$27.5 million to \$29.0 million.
The improved profit is on the back of both higher sales and settlements volumes across the Group's three business segments and across most states that it operates in, supported by continuing favourable market conditions, government stimulus and consumer confidence during FY21.
The Group derived EBITDA5 of \$58.1 million during FY21, compared to \$37.0 million (before divestment and related provisions) in FY20, with an EBITDA5 margin of 25%, compared to the margin achieved in FY20 of 19%. This margin increase is attributable to revenue increases from increased sales and settlements accompanied by price growth across the portfolio and a continued focus on cost management.
The performance has resulted in an operating and statutory earnings per share of 5.9 cents for FY21, compared to operating earnings per share of 3.1 cents and statutory loss per share of 6.2 cents in FY20.
The Group's focus on prudent capital management allowed it to proactively implement capital management initiatives in response to COVID-19. This focus has continued, allowing it to release, develop and construct its products in response to the increased demand from customers around the country.
The Group enters FY22 in a strong capital position, with gearing7 at 30 June 2021 of 24.8% (30 June 2020: 28.8%), which is within the Company's target range of 20% to 30%.

COVID-19 responses
While business practices normalised across the majority of the country in the first half of FY21, Melbourne continued to be subject to significant disruption resulting from COVID-19-related lock downs. While sales and settlements from our Victorian portfolio remained solid and market conditions resilient, the Group continued to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of its Victorian employees, who have demonstrated enormous character and resilience.
Operational commentary
The Group achieved 3,142 sales8 (with a gross value of \$858.8 million) for the full year across its Funds Management, Development and Joint Venture projects, representing an increase of 35% on the number of sales achieved in FY20.
Sales in 2H21 continued the improving momentum experienced during 1H21 and have continued to improve during the first quarter to date of FY22.
The Group achieved 2,980 settlements8 for the full year across its Funds Management, Development and Joint Venture projects, representing an increase of 66% compared with FY20.
At 30 June 2021, there were 1,948 contracts on hand8 , with a gross value of \$546.6 million, compared with 1,786 contracts on hand8 with a gross value of \$427.7 million at 30 June in 2020. This represents an increase of 9% in contracts on hand8 and a 28% increase in contract value, providing a positive momentum into FY22.
Funds management projects
Key highlights
- 1,613 lots sold8 for a gross value of \$406.0 million, compared with 1,412 lots sold8 (\$310.0 million) in FY20.
- 1,732 lots settled8 for a gross value of \$394.4 million, compared with 924 lots settled8 (\$217.9 million) in FY20.
- 1,054 contracts on hand8 as at 30 June 2021 with a total value of \$252.8 million, compared with 1,173 contracts on hand8 (\$241.2 million) as at 30 June 2020.
- EBITDA9 of \$29.2 million compared with \$13.0 million in FY20.
- EBITDA9 margin increased to 69% from 53% in FY20.
The 14% increase in sales and the 87% increase in settlements contributed to EBITDA9 increasing 125%.
As at 30 June 2021, approximately 61% of the Group's land bank comprised Funds Management projects. This business provides Peet with a capital-lite earnings base which contributed approximately 42% of the Group's EBITDA9,10 for FY21.
Development projects
Key highlights
- 531 lots sold8 for a gross value of \$166.2 million, compared with 432 lots sold8 (\$118.2 million) in FY20.
- 484 lots settled8 for a gross value of \$129.2 million, compared with 434 lots settled8 (\$115.8 million) in FY20.
- 256 contracts on hand8 as at 30 June 2021 with a total value of \$95.4 million, compared with 209 contracts on hand8 (\$58.4 million) as at 30 June 2020.
- EBITDA9 of \$21.8 million compared with \$23.5 million11 in FY20.
- EBITDA9 margin of 16% compared with 18%11 in FY20.
The reduction in the EBITDA9 margin can be partly attributed to the first phase of the Craigieburn, Aston (Vic) project substantially completing settlements in FY20. However, the commencement of settlements from the Group's townhouse projects partially offset this decrease. Increased investment in the Group's townhouse business is expected to show EBITDA9 improvement over the next 12 to 24 months.
As at 30 June 2021 approximately 26% of the Group's land bank comprised Development projects.
8 Includes equivalent lots.
9 EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that includes effects of non-cash movements in investments in associates and joint ventures.

As at 30 June 2021 approximately 13% of the Group's land bank comprised Joint Venture projects, with major projects located in Qld, NSW, WA and SA.

Capital management
The Group continues to apply a prudent focus on capital management and its gearing15 as at 30 June 2021 was 24.8% (30 June 2020: \$28.8%) and within its target range of 20% to 30%.
At 30 June 2021, the Group had net interest-bearing debt16 (including Peet Bonds) of \$203.9 million, compared with \$235.3 million at 30 June 2020.
Peet enters FY22 with cash and debt facility headroom of \$175.1 million as at 30 June 2021 and a weighted average debt maturity of over three years. It has the capacity to accelerate delivery of product to meet the material increase in demand following the introduction of Government stimulus.
Gearing15 during FY22 is expected to be at the upper end of the 20% to 30% target range due to the significant level of construction activity anticipated to be undertaken.
During FY21, Peet Limited:
- extended its on-market share buy-back of up to 5% of its issued ordinary shares. As at 30 June 2021, the Company had acquired 6.7 million of its ordinary shares, representing approximately 27% of the total shares to be acquired, and subsequent to year end announced that the on-market buy-back has been extended for a further 12 months; and
- refinanced \$100 million of five-year fixed rate bonds (ASX:PPCHA) via the issue of \$75 million, five and a quarter year floating unlisted notes and a \$25 million increase in its senior bank debt facilities, resulting in an increase in the weighted average debt maturity and a reduction in the weighted average cost of borrowing.

Dividends
Subsequent to year end, the Directors declared a final dividend for FY21 of 2.5 cent per share, fully franked. This brings the total dividend for FY21 to 3.5 cents per share. This compares to the FY20 dividend of 1.5 cents per share, fully franked. The final FY21 dividend is to be paid on Monday, 11 October 2021, with a record date of Friday, 17 September 2021.
The Directors have resolved to keep the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan deactivated.
Group strategy
Key elements of the Group's strategy for the year ahead and beyond include:
- continuing to leverage its large-scale national portfolio to further improve returns by:
- accelerating production to meet current demand and increasing operating cash flows;
- continuing to focus on improving project returns and operating margins through efficient master planning, affordable product development, cost reduction initiatives and efficient allocation of capital; and
- continuing to balance the portfolio between land and built form projects, increasing the weighting to east coast markets and remaining focussed on the right product in the right markets;
- continuing to assess capital recycling opportunities by:
- assessing further divestment opportunities to maximise market cycles to unlock value where appropriate;
- continuing to develop Funds Management/Joint Venture initiatives with existing and new capital partners; and
- evaluating "super lot" opportunities within the portfolio; and
- considering selective acquisitions to restock the pipeline when appropriate.
Risks
The Group's operating and financial performance is influenced by a number of risks impacting the property sector. These include bank lending conditions, general economic conditions, government policy influencing a range of matters including population growth (immigration policy), household income and consumer confidence, the employment market and land development conditions and requirements, including in relation to infrastructure, environmental and climate-change management.
In respect to climate change, the Group's focus continues to be on understanding and mitigating climate change risks on development approvals processes, reputational matters and reporting obligations.
Global and domestic economic factors which may influence capital markets and the movement of interest rates are also risks faced by the Group.
At an individual project level, residential property developments also face a number of risks related to the price and availability of capital, the timeliness of approvals, delays in construction, and the level of competition in the market. The Group has a long history of managing these risks at an individual project and portfolio level.
The Group's financial risk management policies are set out in note 17 to the Financial Report.
Particular focus in the short-term will be on risks associated with COVID-19, including:
- prolonged government lock downs negatively impacting the general economy, consumer confidence, supply chains and halting the current positive market momentum;
- rising development and labour costs due to border restrictions/closures; and
- the potential for development programs to be extended.
The property market is cyclical and, while the Group is impacted by fluctuations in the market, it has also proved its capacity to manage through various cycles over a very significant period of time. This continues to include managing risks associated with changing consumer preferences for products – size, location, product typology (house and land, low-rise apartments and medium density townhouses).
Outlook
Continuing residential sales momentum, a significant development pipeline and a strengthening balance sheet, positions the Group well for future growth.
Residential markets are expected to remain positive over the medium term supported by low interest rates, accommodative credit conditions and an improving employment outlook.
Subject to the above risks, FY22 is expected to be a year focused on the delivery of a significant number of land lots and townhouses sold during FY21 along with the commencement of up to six new projects.
The Group is well-positioned to target growth on FY21 earnings, subject to market conditions and the timing of settlements.
4. Earnings per share
| 2021 Cents |

5. Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the year.
6. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
Other than the final FY21 dividend (details of which are included below), no 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. Dividends
In August 2020, the Directors declared a final dividend of 1.0 cents per share, fully franked, in respect of the year ended 30 June 2020. The dividend of \$4.8 million was paid on Thursday, 19 November 2020.
In February 2021, the Directors declared an interim dividend of 1.0 cents per share, fully franked, in respect to the year then ending 30 June 2021. The dividend of \$4.8 million was paid on Thursday, 8 April 2021.
Subsequent to year end, the Directors declared a final dividend for FY21 of 2.5 cent per share, fully franked. This brings the total dividend for FY21 to 3.5 cents per share. This compares to the FY20 dividend of 1.5 cents per share, fully franked. The final FY21 dividend is to be paid on Monday, 11 October 2021, with a record date of Friday, 17 September 2021.
The Directors have resolved to keep the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan deactivated.
8. Environmental regulation
The Group is subject to environmental regulation by way of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in respect of its land subdivision activities nationally, as well as other environmental regulations under both Commonwealth and State legislation.
The Group is not aware of any breaches of environmental regulations in respect of its activities. However, from time to time, 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 Group may be subject to the reporting requirements of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007. This requires the Group to report its annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy use if it has operational control of facilities (sites) that emit greenhouse gases, produce energy, or consume energy at or above the specified GHG emission and energy thresholds per financial year.
The Group is not required to register and report to the Clean Energy Regulator as the Group does not have operational control for each of its projects, which is the responsibility of the relevant contractor undertaking the works, and the remainder of the Group's activities fall below the reporting thresholds for the FY21 reporting period.

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, both Mr T J Allen and Mr R J McKinnon will retire by rotation and offer themselves for re-election. Your Board of Directors recommend the re-election of Mr T J Allen and Mr R J McKinnon.
12. Remuneration
Dear Shareholder,
Peet is pleased to present its Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2021. This report sets out remuneration information for Non-executive Directors ("NEDs"), the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer ("MD") and other key management personnel ("KMP"). It focuses on the remuneration decisions made by the Board and the pay outcomes that resulted.
To ensure Peet delivers on its growth strategy it must have the right people to lead the Group over the long-term and a competitive remuneration framework that encourages our Leadership Team to continue to make decisions with a view to creating long-term value for shareholders and all stakeholders.
In considering remuneration outcomes, the Board's Remuneration Committee:
- (a) balances Peet's financial performance with the development and implementation of strategies for the long-term benefit of the Group; and
- (b) takes into account the underlying scale of Peet's operations which are not fully identifiable from a pure focus on the Group's statutory accounts.
Peet achieved an operating net profit after tax and a statutory profit after tax of \$28.5 million for the 2021 financial year, compared to an operating profit after tax of \$15.1 million and a statutory loss after tax of \$30.1 million in the previous year.
While the statutory financial statements show total revenue of \$234.3 million and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") of \$58.1 million for the 2021 financial year, Peet management remains responsible for a greater scale of business.
In addition to its own land development projects, Peet is also responsible for the management of a significant portfolio of land development projects held within its Funds Management and Joint Arrangements businesses. These Funds Management and Joint Arrangement businesses generated revenues of \$587.1 million and EBITDA of \$122.0 million.
Accordingly, the scale of business from which Peet derives its revenues and earnings, which drive its capacity to pay dividends to shareholders, is extensive.
Key remuneration outcomes during the year ended 30 June 2021 included:
- The MD's base pay for the year ended 30 June 2021 was the same as for the previous year.
- There were no increases in the base pay of the other KMP, including NEDs, during the year ended 30 June 2021.
- During the year, long-term incentive performance conditions were tested as at 30 June 2020 in respect to the performance over the three years ended on that date resulting in the partial vesting of performance rights. The exercise of any vested performance rights was met by way of ordinary shares acquired on market during the 2021 financial year.
- Short-term incentives will be paid to KMP in respect of the year ended 30 June 2021, following a positive assessment of the individual KMP's performance against a balanced scorecard, which includes consideration of Group financial and strategic targets. The MD was entitled to 100% of his short-term incentive entitlement, however the Remuneration Committee and the Board, in agreement with the MD, applied discretion to reduce the MD's entitlement to 80%.
- In response to COVID-19:
- o all members of the Leadership Team, as well as other members of senior management, took a voluntary 20% reduction of fixed salaries for the last two months of FY20, which extended to 31 July 2020; and
- o all NEDs took a voluntary 20% reduction of Directors' fees for the last two months of FY20, which extended to 31 July 2020.
Peet also takes the opportunity to confirm that the MD's base pay for the year ending 30 June 2022 will be the same as 2021, notwithstanding his contractual entitlement to an adjustment of at least CPI. The MD's base pay was last amended with effect from 1 July 2014. Additionally, the FY21 base pays of all other KMP, including NEDs, will remain the same as their FY21 base pays.
We encourage our shareholders to use the cash value of remuneration realised table on page 13 to assess the remuneration outcomes for KMP in the year ended 30 June 2021 and the alignment of these outcomes with the Group's performance.
The key difference between the cash value of remuneration realised and the statutory remuneration is the value included in the statutory remuneration table for potential future outcomes under the long-term incentive. A value is required to be included in the statutory remuneration table to account for long-term incentives that may or may not vest in the future, while the value for long-term incentives included in the cash value of remuneration realised table represents the value of shares actually received by KMP following the vesting and exercise of performance rights.
The Board is satisfied that these remuneration outcomes for the year ended 30 June 2021 are appropriately performance-based while at the same time recognising the strategic needs of the Group, and we commend this report to you.
Robert McKinnon Chairman, Remuneration Committee

B. 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 for the long-term benefit of the Company and 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 in prior financial years, the Company has structured, and continues to evolve, an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to our reward strategy through the following features.
Alignment to shareholders' interests
- has a relevant measurement of financial performance as a core component of plan design;
- rewards implementation of strategy;
- focuses the Executive on other key financial and non-financial drivers of long-term value; and
- attracts and retains high-calibre executives.
For the purpose of assessing Executives' eligibility to short-term incentives, the Remuneration Committee and Board have traditionally agreed to the use of a balanced scorecard. This methodology has continued to be used for the 2021 financial year, and comprised a combination of financial and non-financial key performance indicators.
During the 2018 financial year, the Remuneration Committee recommended to the Board, and it agreed, to assess financial performance for the purposes of long-term incentive awards against earnings per share (EPS) growth, together with funds under management growth. These performance measures have been used for each year thereafter and will continue to be used for the 2022 financial year.
The Remuneration Committee and the Board will continue to assess the applicability of all short-term and long-term related key performance indicators as they are applied in assessing performance for remuneration purposes.
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 and long-term incentives. 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.
NEDs' fees (including the Chairman's fees)
Fees and payments to NEDs reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the NEDs. NEDs' fees and payments are reviewed periodically by the Remuneration Committee and the Board. The Remuneration Committee considers, as appropriate, the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure NEDs' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. NEDs do not receive share options or performance rights.
The NEDs' remuneration is inclusive of committee fees and fees for their membership on any subsidiary Boards. The fees payable to NEDs and the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Management Committee were last amended with effect from 1 July 2018 (after last being amended with effect from 1 July 2014). NEDs may also be entitled to fees where they represent Peet on the Board of Syndicates.
NEDs' fees are determined within an aggregate Directors' fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. Shareholders approved a resolution at the 2012 AGM to increase the aggregate NEDs' fees pool to \$900,000.
The NEDs do not receive any form of retirement allowance.
NEDs' fees for the 2022 financial year will be the same as the 2021 financial year.
Executive pay
The Company's pay and reward framework for Executives has the following components:
- base pay and benefits;
- short-term performance incentives; and
- long-term performance incentives.
The combination of these comprises the total remuneration for the individual concerned.
Base pay and benefits
The base pay for Executives is structured as a total employment cost package, which may be delivered as a mix of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits and includes superannuation.
Executives 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. There were no changes to the quantum of total base pay for Executives during the 2021 financial year.
Short-term performance incentives ("STI")
Executives have a target STI opportunity depending on the accountabilities of their specific role and impact on the Group's performance. The maximum target bonus opportunity for the Executives for the years ended 30 June 2021 and 2020 ranged between 50% and 100% of the relevant Executive's base pay. However, the Board of Directors has the discretion to either pay over and above or less than 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 generally set the STI KPIs to apply to the other Executives.
KPIs for the MD are set by reference to the following criteria based:
- financial;
- strategy;
- stakeholder engagement;
- people and processes improvements; and
- health, safety and environment.
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the MD was assessed as follows against the KPIs:
| Category | Weighting (%) | Achieved (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Financial | 70.0% | 84.0% |
| Strategic | 10.0% | 10.0% |
| Stakeholder | 7.5% | 5.0% |
| People, processes and culture | 7.5% | 5.0% |
| Health, safety and environment | 5.0% | 5.0% |
| 100.0% | 109.0% | |
| Less: | ||
| - Amount over 100.0% | (9.0%) | |
| - Discretionary adjustment by Board | (20.0%) | |
| Final assessment | 80.0% |
For the year ended 30 June 2020, the MD's KPIs linked to the STI plan were based on similar criteria.
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the KPIs for Executives were determined by the MD, based on the above criteria. The Executives were assessed to have been eligible for up to 100% of their maximum STI entitlement. However, the Board applied its discretion to reduce the Executives' eligibility to between 70% and 90% of their FY21 STI entitlements.
For the year ended 30 June 2020, the Executives' KPI' linked to the STI plan were based on similar criteria.
Long-term incentives ("LTI")
Traditionally, the Company has provided its Executives with LTI through participation in the Peet Limited Employee Share Option Plan ("PESOP") and/or the Peet Limited Performance Rights Plan ("PPRP").
Executives have a target LTI opportunity depending on the accountabilities of their specific role and impact on the Group's performance. The maximum target opportunity for the Executives for the years ended 30 June 2021 and 2020 ranged between 50% and 100% of the relevant Executive's base pay.
Each year, the Remuneration Committee considers the appropriate targets and KPIs to link to the LTI plan and the level of payout if targets are met for the Executives. This may include setting any maximum payout under the LTI plan and minimum levels of performance to trigger payment of LTI. Further details of the Company's LTI structures are included in the section titled 'Sharebased compensation'.
C. DETAILS OF REMUNERATION
Details of the statutory and cash value of remuneration of each member of the KMP of the Group are set out in the tables following.
The statutory disclosures required by the Corporations Act 2001(Cth), as amended and its regulations are set out in the table on page 14. The company believes that the additional information provided in table below is useful to investors. The table below sets out the total cash value of remuneration realised for the KMP and provides shareholders with details of the "take-home" pay received/ receivable during the year. These earnings include cash salary and fees, bonus, superannuation, non-cash benefits received/ receivable during the year and the value of shares issued to, or acquired on behalf of, KMP following the vesting of Performance Rights ("PRs") during the financial year. The table does not include the accounting value of share-based payments consisting of PRs granted in the current and prior years required for statutory purposes. This is because those share-based payments are dependent on the achievement of performance hurdles and so may or may not be realised.

D. 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. PRs over shares in Peet Limited are granted under the PPRP, which was approved by shareholders at the 2008 AGM. Changes have been made since to allow for changes in taxation of PRs. Employees of any Group Company (including an Executive Director) will be eligible to participate in the PESOP and/or PPRP at the discretion of the Board.
Any additional persons to whom ASX Listing Rule 10.14 applies and who became entitled to participate in a grant of PRs under the PPRP after the approval of Resolution 4 considered at the 2020 AGM and who was not named in the Notice of AGM will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
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 PRs, which only vest if the employees are still employed by the Group at the end of the vesting period, subject to the Board's discretion, and any set performance hurdles have been met.
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 PRs 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 PRs being offered and the maximum number of shares over which each option and/or PR is granted;
- the period or periods during which any of the options and/or PRs may be exercised;
- the dates and times when the options and/or PRs lapse;
- the dates and times by which the application for options and/or PRs must be received by Peet; and
- any applicable conditions which must be satisfied or circumstances which must exist before the options and/or PRs may be exercised.
Eligible employees may apply for part of the options and/or PRs 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 PRs 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 PR must be satisfied. However, the Board has the discretion to enable an option and/or PR holder to exercise options and/or PRs 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.

NOTE 1
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 PRs is based on 23 November 2016, 29 November 2017, 21 November 2018, 20 November 2019 and 19 November 2020, being the dates of Peet Limited's, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 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 Mr Gore remains employed as Managing Director for a period of four years. Although the service period requirement has been met, the options have not been exercised.
NOTE 3
These PRs are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 40% subject to the Funds Under Management (FUM) growth vesting condition measured over a three-year period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020 ("FY18 Performance Period"), 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021 ("FY19 Performance Period") and 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022 ("FY20 Performance Period"), respectively.
The PRs granted in respect to the three-year period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023 ("FY21 Performance Period") are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 25% subject to the FUM growth vesting condition.
FUM growth is measured as the total of the following during the performance period:
- the purchase price (ex GST) of land acquired by a Peet syndicate or Joint Venture; or
- the market value (ex GST) of land for which Peet has been appointed development manager at the time of its appointment; or
- the selling price (ex GST) of land sold by Peet, a Syndicate, a Joint Venture or Peet-managed project to a third party and Peet is appointed the development manager (and where applicable, to manage the leasing) of a commercial, industrial, retail or residential built-form project on that property; or
- in all other property funds management-related transactions, as determined by the Board of Directors.
The aggregate of the FUM growth during the relevant performance period is reduced by the equity interest retained by the Group and is then compared to the rolling three-year FUM growth target set by the Board for the relevant performance period.
For the FY18, FY19 and FY20 Performance Periods, the proportion of PRs to vest subject to FUM growth will be as follows:
| Performance level | Aggregate FUM growth target during performance period |
Proportion of performance rights that may be eligible to vest |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Less than the target | Less than \$60 million | 0% | |
| Target | \$60 million | 50% | |
| Target – medium | \$60 million to \$100 million | Pro-rata between 50% and 70% | |
| Medium – maximum | \$100 million to \$150 million | Pro-rata between 70% and 100% | |
| Maximum | Greater than \$150 million | 100% |
For the FY21 Performance Period, the proportion of PRs to vest subject to FUM growth will be as follows:
| Performance level | Aggregate FUM growth target during performance period |
Proportion of performance rights that may be eligible to vest |
|---|---|---|
| Less than the target | Less than \$40 million | 0% |
| Target | \$40 million | 50% |
| Target – medium | \$40 million to \$60 million | Pro-rata between 50% and 70% |
| Medium – maximum | \$60 million to \$75 million | Pro-rata between 70% and 100% |
| Maximum | Greater than \$75 million | 100% |
The Group achieved FUM growth of \$153.2 million for the FY18 Performance Period. Accordingly, the performance condition was fully met and on 25 August 2020 the Directors resolved that 100% of these FY18 PRs vested.
The Group achieved FUM growth of \$64.8 million for the FY19 Performance Period. Accordingly, the performance condition was partially met and on 24 August 2021 the Directors resolved that 52.5% of these FY19 PRs vested.
The FY20 and FY21 PRs remain unvested.
NOTE 4
These PRs are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 60% subject to the EPS growth vesting condition, measured over a three-year period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020 ("FY18 Performance Period"), 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021 ("FY19 Performance Period") and 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022 ("FY20 Performance Period"), respectively.
The PRs granted in respect to the three-year period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023 ("FY21 Performance Period") are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 75% subject to the EPS growth vesting condition.
The EPS growth vesting condition will be measured as the average growth in operating EPS over the relevant Performance Period, with the EPS derived for the previous financial year as the base year.
The earnings component of EPS is calculated as net profit measured in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, excluding write-downs of inventories and development costs and increases in the carrying value of inventories during the relevant financial year, and is subject to other adjustments at the Board's discretion.
EPS growth is then compared to the Board's internal target EPS growth for the relevant performance period.
Of the PRs subject to EPS growth, the proportion to vest will be as follows:
| Performance level | Proportion of performance rights that may be eligible to vest |
|---|---|
| Less than 80% of the EPS growth target | 0% |
| 80% of the EPS growth target | 50% |
| 80% to 100% of the EPS growth target | Pro-rata between 50% and 80% |
| 100% to 120% of the EPS growth target | Pro-rata between 80% and 100% |
| Greater than 120% of the EPS growth target | 100% |
The Group achieved EPS growth of less than 80% of the target of 5% for the FY18 Performance Period. Accordingly, no EPS growth-related FY18 PRs vested.
The Group achieved EPS growth of 6.25% for the FY19 Performance Period, compared to the EPS growth target of 5% for that period. While the performance condition was fully met, and in accordance with the PPRP, the holders of FY19 PRs consented to a request by the Remuneration Committee to reduce the number of EPS growth-related FY19 PRs vesting and on 24 August 2021 the Directors resolved that 65% of these FY19 PRs vested.
The FY20 and FY21 PRs remain unvested.

Details of remuneration: cash bonuses, options and PRs
For each cash bonus, grant of options and/or PRs included in the tables within the remuneration report, the percentage of the available bonus or grant that was paid, or that vested 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 PRs will vest if the conditions are not satisfied, subject to the discretion of the Board, hence the minimum value of the option and PRs yet to vest is nil. The maximum value of the options and PRs yet to vest has been determined as the amount of the grant date fair value of the options and PRs that is yet to be expensed.

End of Remuneration report (audited)
14. Indemnity of officers and auditors
During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a Directors' and Officers' insurance policy 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.
To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, Ernst & Young Australia, as part of the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). The indemnity does not apply to any loss in respect of any matters which are finally determined to have resulted from the auditors' negligent, wrongful or willful acts or omissions. No payment has been made to indemnify the auditors during or since the financial year.
15. 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 Group 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 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.
The fees that were paid or payable for services provided by the auditors of the Group, its related practices and non-related audit firms is set out in note 22 of the Financial Report.
16. Auditor's independence declaration
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration, as required under section 307C of the Corporation Act 2001, is set out on page 24.
On 19 February 2019, the Board granted approval under section 324DAA of the Corporations Act 2001 for Mr Geoff Lotter to continue as lead auditor, to play a significant role in the audit of the company for two additional successive financial years, being the financial year ending 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021. The approval was granted in accordance with a recommendation from the Audit and Risk Management Committee which was satisfied the approval:
- is consistent with maintaining the quality of the audit provided to the company; and
- would not give rise to a conflict of interest situation (as defined in section 324CD of the Corporations Act 2001).
Reasons supporting this decision include:
- the benefits associated with the continued retention of knowledge regarding key audit matters and significant judgements, in light of the changes in residential property markets and bank lending policies;
- the Audit and Risk Management Committee has been satisfied with the quality of Ernst & Young and Mr Lotter's work as auditor; and
- the Audit and Risk Management Committee is satisfied with the introduction of a new engagement quality review partner on the completion of the 30 June 2019 audit.

17. Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the "rounding off" of amounts in the Director's Report. Amounts in the Director's Report have been rounded off in accordance with that legislative instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Basis of reporting
This section of the financial report sets out the basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Where an accounting policy is specific to one note, the policy is described in the note to which it relates.
1. Reporting entity
This financial report covers the consolidated financial statements for the Consolidated Entity consisting of Peet Limited and its subsidiaries (Group). The Financial Report is presented in the Australian currency. Peet Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is; Level 7, 200 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors' Report. Peet Limited is a forprofit entity.
2. Basis of preparation
The Financial Report is a general purpose financial report which:
- has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001;
- complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB);
- has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative financial instruments and financial assets which have been measured at fair value;
- provides comparative information in respect of the previous period; and
- is rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars or in certain cases to the nearest dollar in accordance with ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191.
a. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during the year ended 30 June 2021. The Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
- ‐ power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
- ‐ exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- ‐ the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
b. 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 syndicates, significant influence can exist with a lower shareholding by virtue of the Group's position as project manager. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, 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.
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.
c. Investments in joint arrangements
Joint arrangements are arrangements of which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractual agreed sharing of control which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint arrangements are classified as either a joint operation or joint venture, based on the rights and obligations arising from the contractual obligations between the parties to the arrangement.
To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the individual assets and obligations arising from the joint arrangement, the arrangement is classified as a joint operation and as such, the Group recognises its:
- ‐ assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
- ‐ liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
- ‐ share of revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
- ‐ expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the investment is classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the cost of the investment is adjusted by the post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the venture.
d. Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a gain or 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.
e. Changes in accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020, except for changes arising from the adoption of new and amended accounting standards and interpretations effective as at 1 July 2020.
In April 2021, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) published an agenda decision for configuration and customisation costs incurred relating to a Software as a Service (SaaS) arrangement. The Group has changed its accounting policy in relation to configuration and customisation costs incurred in implementing SaaS arrangements. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of changing this policy is described below.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time on 1 July 2020, but do not have a material impact on the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Accounting policy – Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements
SaaS arrangements are arrangements in which the Group does not currently control the underlying software used in the arrangement. Where costs incurred to configure or customise SaaS arrangements result in the creation of a resource which is identifiable, and where the company has the power to obtain the future economic benefits flowing from the underlying resource and to restrict the access of others to those benefits, such costs are recognised as a separate intangible software asset and amortised over the useful life of the software on a straight-line basis. The amortisation is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period and any changes are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Where costs incurred to configure or customise do not result in the recognition of an intangible software asset, then those costs that provide the Group with a distinct service (in addition to the SaaS access) are now recognised as expenses when the supplier provides the services. Previously some costs had been capitalised and amortised over its useful life.
Impact of change in accounting policy
The change in policy has been retrospectively applied and comparative financial information in the balance sheet has been restated. The net impact being a write-off of \$1.8 million against the comparative period's opening retained earnings. The impact on the current period and the prior period profit/(loss) is insignificant.
3. How to read the financial report
The notes to the financial statements are set out in four specific sections:
- ‐ Performance for the year
- ‐ Operating assets and liabilities
- ‐ Capital management
- ‐ Other notes
Where an accounting policy is specific to one note, the policy is described in the note to which it relates.
Key estimates are described in the following notes:
- ‐ Note 5 constraints on project management & selling fees and estimates on percentage completion
- ‐ Note 8 deferred tax assets
- ‐ Note 9 net realisable value
- ‐ Note 11 ECL allowance
- ‐ Note 21 fair value estimation
Financial risks and its management are detailed in the respective notes it pertains to. The Group's activities expose it to financial risks including (note 17):
- liquidity risk
- credit risk; and
- interest rate risk.
Related party transactions are disclosed within the notes they relate to. Transactions which occur between the Group and significant controlled entities are classified as related party transactions. Significant controlled entities are interests held in associates and joint ventures, which are set out in note 10. Details relating to the key management personnel, including remuneration paid, are set out in note 6.
Performance for the year
This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group.
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, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive management group.
The executive management group assesses the performance of the operating segments based on multiple measures including earnings before interest (including interest and finance charges amortised through cost of sales), tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA"), earnings before interest (including interest and finance charges amortised through cost of sales) and tax ("EBIT") and profit after tax.
The share of profits from associates and joint ventures is included as segment revenue as it is treated as revenue for internal reporting purposes.
The Group operates only in Australia.
The executive management group considers the business to have the following reportable business segments:
Funds management
Peet enters into asset and funds management agreements with external capital providers. Peet and/or the external capital provider commit equity funds towards the acquisition of land and this is generally supplemented with debt funds either at the time of acquisition or during the development phase of a project.
The Group derives fees from underwriting, capital raising and asset identification services. Ongoing project related fees (mainly project management and selling fees as well as performance fees) are then derived by the Group for the duration of a particular project.
Company-owned projects
The Group acquires parcels of land in Australia, primarily for residential development purposes. Certain land holdings will also produce non-residential blocks of land.
Joint arrangements
Joint arrangements are entered into with government, statutory authorities and private landowners. The form of these arrangements can vary from project to project but generally involves Peet undertaking the development of land on behalf of the landowner or in conjunction with the co-owner. The Group is typically entitled to ongoing fees for management of the development project and also a share of the profits.
Inter-segment transfers and other unallocated
Segment revenue, expenses and results include transfers between segments. Such transfers are based on an arm's length basis and are eliminated on consolidation.
Certain property syndicates are consolidated where the Group is considered to have control. These entities however, continue to be managed and reported to the executive management group as part of the funds management business segment. Adjustments are included in "Inter‑ segment transfers and other unallocated" to reconcile reportable business segment information to the Group's consolidated statement of profit or loss.

| Other income | 6,929 | 3,531 |
| 220,267 | 188,282 |
Recognition and measurement
The main streams of revenue recognised by the Group relate to the sale of land and built form, and the provision of management and selling services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of the goods and services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Revenue is recognised when or as each performance obligation is satisfied at the amount of the transaction price allocated to that performance obligation. If the consideration in the contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for transferring the goods and services to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. When a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to the customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, the Group presents the revenue as a contract asset, unless the Group's rights to the amount of consideration are unconditional, in which case the Group recognises a receivable.
The Group recognises contract fulfilment costs as an asset only if the costs relate directly to a contract, the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used to satisfy future performance obligations and the costs are expected to be recovered. If not capitalised, contract fulfilment costs are expensed as incurred.
Sale of land and built form
Revenue from the sale of land and built form is recognised on settlement of the sale. This represents the point when control (title) has passed to the customer.
Project management
Project management represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time for the oversight and management of the development. The consideration receivable under the contract allocated to project management is variable and is measured using an expected value approach subject to a constraint. The transaction price is based on the relative standalone selling price. Revenue is
recognised using an output method based on development milestones reached. Payment is received on settlement.
Selling services
This service represents a performance obligation to facilitate the sale of an individual lot which is satisfied over the short period of time relating to the procedural steps of finalising the sale of the property to a purchaser. The consideration receivable under the contract allocated to selling services is considered to be variable consideration and is measured on a portfolio basis using an expected value approach subject to a constraint. The transaction price is based on the relative standalone selling price of the service. Payment is received on settlement.
KEY ESTIMATES
Constraints on project management & selling fees
An analysis of sales fall over rates and minimum selling prices is performed for all business segments by location. This analysis, on a portfolio basis, is used to determine an appropriate constraint for revenue recognised against project management and selling fees.
Percentage completion
An analysis of development milestones is performed to determine an appropriate percentage of completion for completed lots.

Land and development costs
Land and development costs represent the portion of the land and development costs associated with the lots sold during the year (cost of sales).
Borrowing costs
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 (refer note 17).

Recognition and measurement
Current taxes
The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate, 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. 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.
Deferred taxes
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 by the end of the reporting period. 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 arise in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 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 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.
KEY ESTIMATES
Deferred tax assets
The Group has recognised deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority against which the unused tax losses can be utilised. However, utilisation of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the entity, to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.

- The write-downs are from several non-core projects that are to be divested. The estimated net realisable values used to calculate the writedown provisions are based on the latest valuations and management's assessment of the market for each project.
Recognition and measurement
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.
Land is initially classified as non-current. It is subsequently reclassified to current if the development/subdivided lots are expected to be sold within the next 12 months.
KEY ESTIMATES
Net realisable value
The Group is required to carry inventory at lower of cost and net realisable value. 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. The key assumptions require the use of management judgement and are reviewed annually.
In June 2021, IFRIC published an agenda decision in relation to the accounting treatment when determining net realisable value (NRV) of inventories, in particular what costs are necessary to sell inventories under IAS 2 Inventories. Based on the analysis performed, the Group expects an immaterial impact from the adoption of the IFRIC agenda decision.

Recognition and measurement
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.
In some joint arrangement contracts, costs are reimbursed as incurred during development. As revenue is only recognised on settlements, reimbursements received are recognised as advance from joint operators until settlement.

Recognition and measurement
Where the Group enters into unconditional contracts with land vendors to purchase properties for future development that contain deferred payment terms, these borrowings are initially measured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost. The unwinding of the discount applied to the acquisition price is included in finance costs. Generally, the land vendor holds the title over the property until settlement has occurred.

15. Provisions (continued)
Recognition and measurement
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
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.
Rebates
The Group may be required under the terms of certain sale contracts to provide rebates for expenditures undertaken by land holders in respect of 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 12 to 18 months from the date of settlement. A liability is recorded for rebates at settlement and is measured at the amount of consideration receivable under the sales contract for which the Group does not expect to be entitled. The provision is updated at the end of each reporting period for changes in circumstances.
Employee entitlements
The liability for long service leave and annual 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 balance date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of the employee, departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Development costs to complete
Provisions for development costs not yet incurred for lots settled are recognised at each reporting date based on the estimated costs to complete.

Capital management
This section outlines how the Group manages its capital and related financing costs.
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes:
- issued capital;
- debt facilities; and
- other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent.
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to:
- safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern;
- continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders;
- maintain an efficient capital structure to reduce the cost of capital; and
- ensure all covenants are complied with.
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 monitors 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. The market value is based on the latest independent mortgage valuations, adjusted for settlements, development costs and titled stock between the date of valuation and 30 June 2021. At 30 June 2021, the bank covenant gearing ratio was 25.7% (2020: 29.7%).

Recognition and measurement
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 statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
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.
Refer note 21 for fair value disclosures.

Interest rate swap contracts
Recognition and measurement
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at 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 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 how it will assess hedge effectiveness (including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness). Hedge accounting is only applied where there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument.
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 statement of profit or loss immediately.
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 statement of profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately reclassified to the statement of profit or loss.
The Group's policy is 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. In FY20, the Group has determined the interest rate swap contracts no longer meet the Group's risk management objective. As a result, the Group has discontinued hedge accounting.
During the year, the fixed interest rate on the interest rate swap contracts was 3.11% (2020: 3.11%). The variable base rates are between 0.01% and 0.09% (2020: 0.09% and 1.22%).
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 notional principal amounts and periods of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts were as follows:
| 2021 \$'000 |
2020 \$'000 |
|
|---|---|---|
| 0 – 1 years | 100,000 | - |
| 1 – 2 years | - | 100,000 |
| 100,000 | 100,000 |
The full fair value of interest rate swap is classified as a noncurrent asset or liability when the remaining maturity is more than 12 months, otherwise current.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Group, as a result of their operations:
- will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on due 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 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. The maturity analysis of the Group's derivative and non-derivative financial instruments can be located in their respective notes.
The Group has unused borrowing facilities which can further reduce liquidity risk (refer to note 17 for analysis of maturities on borrowing facilities).
Credit risk
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. An expected credit loss provision of \$3.2 million (2020: \$2.8 million) has been recognised for loans measured at amortised cost of \$29.9 million (2020: \$34.6 million) (refer to note 11 and 27).
Interest rate risk
The Group's main interest rate risk arises from cash, loans to associates and joint ventures measured at fair value and longterm borrowings.
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Group manages its interest rate risk by both variable and fixed rate debt instruments.
The Group's fixed rate borrowings and certain loans to associates and joint ventures are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
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 level of debt that was renewed and forecasters' economic expectations and represents management's assessment of the possible change in interest rates.
At 30 June 2021, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to variable interest rates:

The nature of the Group's contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares of 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. 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.

21. Fair value measurement
Valuation of financial instruments
For financial assets and liabilities, the Group uses the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
- Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
- Level 2: the fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
- Level 3: the fair value is based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Financial instruments measured at fair value
Certain loans to associates and joint ventures carried at fair value through profit or loss. The fair values of these financial assets have been estimated using discounted cashflows with significant unobservable inputs at each reporting date (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy).
At 30 June 2021, the fair value of these loans to associates and joint ventures is \$37.7 million (30 June 2020: \$59.9 million).
The Group measures its derivative financial liabilities at fair value at each reporting date. These derivatives are measured using significant observable inputs (level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The fair value at 30 June 2021 is \$1.5 million (30 June 2020: \$4.4 million).
There have been no transfers between levels during the period.
Other financial instruments – fair value disclosures
Except for the Peet bonds and notes, the carrying value of financial liabilities is considered to approximate fair values.
The quoted market value (on ASX) as at 30 June 2021 of a Peet bond Series 2, Tranche 1 is \$100.04 per bond (Level 1) (30 June 2020: \$94.1).
The fair value as at 30 June 2021 of Peet Notes 2019 is \$1,021.6 per note (30 June 2020: \$975.0), and of Peet Notes 2021 is \$1,016.8 per note. These notes are measured using significant observable inputs (level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).
At 30 June 2021, the carrying value and the fair value of Peet bonds and notes are \$197.7 million (30 June 2020: \$222.8 million) and \$202.9 million (\$220.7 million), respectively.
KEY ESTIMATION
Fair value estimation
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. Fair value of the Peet bonds is based on price quotations at the reporting date.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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.
- ‐ Interest rate swaps are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs such as forward pricing and swap models.
- ‐ Receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates and individual creditworthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected losses of these receivables.
The carrying amount of trade receivables and payables less impairment provision of trade receivables 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.

| Bank guarantees outstanding | 21,905 | 21,684 |
| Insurance bonds outstanding | 14,539 | 13,604 |
| 36,444 | 35,288 |
All contingent liabilities are expected to mature within 1 year.
At 30 June 2021, the Group had commitments of \$0.5 million (2020: \$29.4 million) to purchase lots from associates and joint ventures, at arms-length, to be on-sold to third party buyers through the Group's Peet Complete program.
The Directors are not aware of any circumstances or information, which would lead them to believe that these contingent liabilities will eventuate and consequently no provisions are included in the accounts in respect of these matters.

25. Share-based payments
Peet Employee Share Option Plan (PESOP) and Peet Performance Rights Plan (PPRP)
The establishment of the PESOP was approved by the Board and shareholders during the 2004 financial year and the Peet Limited PPRP was approved by shareholders at the 2008 AGM. Employees of any Group Company (including Executive Directors) will be eligible to participate in the PESOP and/or PPRP 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;
- 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.
Vesting and exercise conditions
Under the plans, options and/or PRs only vest if the employees are still employed by the Group at the end of the vesting period, subject to the Board's discretion, and any set performance hurdles have been met.
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 under the PPRP 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 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 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 and PRs 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 performance rights issued during the year under the PPRP were:
| Grant Date | Exercise Price | Expiry date | Share price at grant date |
Risk free interest rate |
Assessed fair value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19 Nov 20 | \$0.00 | 19 Nov 35 | \$1.06 | 0.27% | \$0.94 |
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.
Total expenses arising from share-based payment transactions recognised during the year as part of employee benefits expense is \$1,600,218 (2020: \$1,298,700).

26. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The Directors have declared a final fully franked dividend of 2.5 cents per share in respect to the year ended 30 June 2021. The dividend is to be paid on Monday, 11 October 2021, with a record date of Friday, 17 September 2021. No provision has been made for this dividend in the financial report as the dividend was not declared or determined by the directors on or before the end of the financial year.
27. Other accounting policies
a. Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially 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. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under AASB 15.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
- Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
- Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
This category is the most relevant to the Group. The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The Group's financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables, and loans to associates and JVs included under Receivables.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
This category includes loans to associates and joint ventures and derivative instruments.
Impairment
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
The Group considers a financial asset in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
b. Leases
For leases with a lease term greater than 12 months that are not considered low value leases (see below), right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities are recognised at the commencement of the lease.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost initially and then depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
The lease liability is initially measured at net present value of future lease payments using the Group's incremental
borrowing rate. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate. The lease payments are allocated between repayment of lease liability and interest expense (charged to profit or loss over the lease period). In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is
remeasured if there is a modification or a change in the lease term.
For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 month or less. Low-value assets are generally small items of office equipment.
c. Intangible assets
Intangible assets primarily consist of software and are shown at historical costs less depreciation.
Depreciation on intangible assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as below.
Software – 5 years
Where costs incurred to configure or customise Software-asa Service (SaaS) arrangements result in the creation of a resource which is identifiable, and where the company has the power to obtain the future economic benefits flowing from the underlying resource and to restrict the access of others to those benefits, such costs are recognised as a separate intangible software asset and amortised over the useful life of the software on a straight-line basis. The amortisation is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period and any changes are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Where costs incurred to configure or customise do not result in the recognition of an intangible software asset, then those costs that provide the Group with a distinct service (in addition to the SaaS access) are now recognised as expenses when the supplier provides the services.
d. 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, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
- Fixtures and fittings 3 to 10 years
- Leasehold improvements 10 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. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of profit or loss.
e. 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
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended 30 June 2021
employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits because of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance date are discounted to present value.
f. 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 balance sheet.
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.
g. Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs are expensed.
h. Parent entity financial information
Tax consolidation legislation
Peet Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003. Peet Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. Members of the group are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the entities are set-off in the consolidated financial statements.
The entities in the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which limits the joint and several liability of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Peet Limited. At the balance sheet date the possibilities of default were remote.
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.
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.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the separate 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.
i. New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
There are no new and amended accounting 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.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. The Group is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice. However, the Group does not expect a material impact based on current arrangements.
In the Directors' opinion:
- a. the financial statements and notes set out on pages 27 to 61 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- i. complying with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; and
- ii. giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the financial year ended on that date; and
- b. there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable; and
- c. at the date of this declaration, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the members of the extended closed group identified in note 24 will be able to meet any obligations or liabilities to which they are, or may become, subject by virtue of the deed of cross guarantee described in note 24.
Note 2 discloses that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The Directors have been given the declarations by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001.
This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Peet Limited
Report on the audit of the financial report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Peet Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2021 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
- b. Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

1. Recoverability of inventories
Land held for development and resale is treated by the Group as inventories and is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. As at 30 June 2021, total inventories amounted to \$489,925,000.
The recoverability of inventory is considered a key audit matter as the determination of net realisable value is affected by subjective elements within the development models over the expected life of each development, or the estimated sales value. These values are sensitive to changes in the underlying economic environment and market forces.
Disclosure of inventories including significant judgements is included in Note 9 of the financial report.
Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included the following:
- ► We assessed the effectiveness of controls over the Group's review process related to project monitoring, including the preparation and review of feasibility reports, independent property valuations and updates at the related executive and board level, including their assessment of recoverability. We also assessed controls over the process for the approval to commence or amend significant projects.
- ► We evaluated a sample of independent property valuations and a selection of internal projections prepared by the Group .
- ► We examined the qualifications, competence and objectivity of the independent valuation experts.
- ► We examined the experience and industry expertise of management's internal experts.
- ► We evaluated all projects we considered significant, to understand project costs to date and estimated costs to complete, the progress of the development, and contingency estimates for remaining development risks.
- ► We assessed the development models prepared by the Group for a sample of developments currently in progress. This included an evaluation of the assumptions adopted by comparing project costs and sales to the most recent historical or comparable sales and costs and agreed relevant data to the current development application submissions and/or approvals.
- ► We tested the mathematical accuracy of the development models.
- ► We performed sensitivity analysis in relation to the key forward looking assumptions including sales price, cost per lot and escalation rates.
We assessed the disclosure relating to inventories in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

2. Land and development costs expensed during the year
| Why significant | How our audit addressed the key audit matter | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Group has expensed as cost of sales, land and | Our audit procedures included the following: | |||
| development costs of \$131,250,000 related to sold properties. Development costs includes estimates of infrastructure costs which are incurred over the life of the development. |
We evaluated the basis of estimation and allocation of ► total development costs and the allocation of costs to complete to properties sold in accordance with accounting standards. |
|||
| The allocation and measurement of land and development costs was considered a key audit matter as it involves significant judgement and is dependent |
We assessed the effectiveness of controls over the ► review and approval of cost calculations. |
|||
| on forecast development timing and future costs that are affected by expected performance and market conditions. |
We selected a sample of cost calculations to assess ► whether they were mathematically accurate and appropriately allocated to specific lots. |
|||
| Disclosure of land and development costs is included in Note 6 of the financial report. |
We assessed the costs allocated to each property and ► the gross margin on the sales transactions. This included comparison to historical averages of similar projects, and to projections over the life of the project to identify and substantiate significant variations. |
|||
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

3. Investments in associates and joint ventures
Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter The Group has interests in associates and joint ventures, involved in property investment or development, which are accounted for using the equity method, amounting to \$232,622,000, and loans to associates and joint ventures of \$64,300,000. Our audit procedures included the following: ► For new arrangements entered into during the year, we assessed the arrangements to understand the ownership interest and rights of each party. This included considering the Group's assessment of
Interests in associates and joint ventures comprise:
- (a) The Group's equity accounted investment in a number of associates and joint venture arrangements ; and
- (b) Loan facilities provided by the Group to certain associates and joint ventures. These unsecured loans are either recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less an allowance for expected credit loss or, where appropriate, at fair value through the profit and loss.
This was considered a key audit matter due to the following:
- ► The judgment involved in assessing whether the Group has control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. The Group's assessment is based on the relevant contractual agreements.
- ► The assessment of the recoverability of the carrying value is subject to significant judgment as to the performance of the underlying developments. Significant changes in assumptions impacting project cash flows may give rise to impairment.
- ► The measurement of loans at fair value through the profit and loss is subject to significant judgment with respect to the appropriate interest rate applicable to each loan.
Disclosure of investments in associates and joint ventures, including significant judgments is included in Notes 2, 10 and 11 of the financial report.
- whether an entity is jointly controlled and whether their application of the equity method accounting to the investment is appropriate.
- ► For existing joint ventures and associates, we considered whether there had been any changes to the arrangement with respect to decision making power and exposure to variable returns.
- ► We assessed the financial performance and financial position of the associates and joint ventures, and the Group's going concern assessment of the relevant entities as one of the indicators of potential impairment.
- ► We evaluated the recoverability of interests in associates and joint ventures by assessing the feasibilities of the underlying development asset. We obtained an understanding of the status of the underlying developments, considered the historical accuracy of the forecast development outcomes and evaluated the assumptions adopted in light of current market evidence.
- ► We also assessed the recoverability of inventories at the associate and joint venture level, consistent with the procedures performed on owned projects.
- ► We considered the Group's assessment of the recoverability of the loans to associates and joint ventures, carried at amortised cost, including the inputs used in the impairment models.
- ► With the assistance of our Capital & Debt Advisory specialist, we assessed the interest rates used to value loans to associates and joint ventures measured at fair value through the profit and loss against prevailing market rates and external borrowings for similar debt.
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

Information other than the financial report and auditor's report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's 2021 annual report other than the financial report and our auditor's report thereon. We obtained the directors' report that is to be included in the annual report, prior to the date of this auditor's report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the annual report after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- ► Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- ► Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group's internal control.
- ► Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
- ► Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- ► Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- ► Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
