RAM Australia Retail Property Fund Directors' report 30 June 2020

Principal activity

The Fund is a registered managed investment scheme domiciled in Australia. The principal objective of the Fund is to invest in accordance with the investment objectives and guidelines set out in its current Product Disclosure Statement and in accordance with the provisions of its Constitution.

The principal activitiers of the Fund include acquiring and disposing of investment properties in Australia.

There has been no significant change in the activities of the Fund during the financial year.

Impact of COVID-19

The events relating to COVID-19 have had an adverse impact on the financial performance of the Fund. These impacts have included:

  • trading restrictions imposed on some of our tenants

  • the National Cabinet Mandatory Code of Conduct enacted in each state

  • increases in operational expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic

  • reductions in the fair value of our investment properties

The National Cabinet Mandatory Code of Conduct requires the Fund to offer eligible tenants a proportionate reduction in rent payable during the COVID-19 pandemic period. These reductions take the form of rental waivers and deferrals of up to 100% of the amount of rent ordinarily payable. The reductions are based on the tenant's trade during the period. Rental waivers must constitute no less than 50% of the total reduction in rent payable with the other 50% in the form of rental deferrals. $276,000 in rental abatements have been made available to tenants by the Fund with $145,000 in rental deferrals being offered during the year.

The Code also provides that Landlords where appropriate waive recovery of any other expense by a tenant while the tenant is unable to trade. A total of $37,000 has been waived from tenant's recurring service charges.

For tenants that are not covered by the Mandatory Code of Conduct, the Fund has accessed the tenants on an individual basis.

Due to the continued uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, rental income that has been invoiced in the period which remains unpaid due the tenant being granted a COVID-19 rental payment deferral have been provisioned against. A Provision for Doubtful Debt has been raised against all rental payment deferrals in FY20 totaling $145,000.

Property portfolio

The investment portfolio as at 30 June 2020 consisted of 11 shopping centres (30 June 2019: 11 shopping centres) valued at $337,160,000 (30 June 2019: $320,350,000). The investment portfolio consists of convenience based neighbourhood shopping centres with a strong weighting towards non-discretionary retail segments.

Acquisitions

No property acquisitions occurred during the year.

Disposals

No property disposals occurred during the year.

Review of operations

The profit for the Fund amounted to $8,505,000 (30 June 2019: $12,547,000).

The results of operations of the Fund are disclosed in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. The profit recorded for the financial year decreased 30% compared with the previous year.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On the 29th of November 2019, a Meeting of Unitholders was held and voted to favor to modifications to the Constitution of the Fund dated 28 September 2016. The modified amendments:

  • remove the Manager Unit (Class C Unit) and merge the existing Class A and Class B Units into one Ordinary Class of Units on a pro rate basis by reference to the Net Asset Value per unit of each unit in existing A and B Classes. This resulted in the Fund moving to an uncapped floating distribution rather than the fixed distribution previously in place.

  • amend the Contribution Fee to be charged out of a prospective unitholders's application funds, rather than the Fund assets

  • a new Investment Management Fee of up to 1.5% per annum of the Consolidated Gross Assets of the Fund. (The actual Investment Management Fee charged remains at 1.0% of the Consolidated Gross Assets unless notified otherwise in the future).

  • include a new Trustee Fee of up to 0.25% per annum of the Consolidated Gross Assets of the Fund. The actual Trustee Fee charged is 0.075% of the Consolidated Gross Assets of the Fund.

  • a new Administration Fee of up to 0.50% a year of the aggregate income distributions payable to the proposed Ordinary Unitholders.

The amendments passed were deemed to have taken effect as at 1 July 2019.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Fund during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

At the date of these Financial Statements being authorised for issue, no further adjustments in respect to the impact of COVID19 have been made. The full consequences on the Fund's future financial performance and the value of the Fund's investment properties continues to be uncertain until such time as the effects of the pandemic has been negated.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Fund's operations, the results of those operations, or the Fund's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The Trustee will continue to pursue commercial retail property opportunities and review investment management strategies with a view to optimising both the income and capital return over the investment term.

Environmental regulation

The consolidated entity's operations are subject to various environmental regulations under both Commonwealth and State legislation. The Trustee believes that the consolidated entity has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental responsibilities and is not aware of any breach of environmental requirements as they may apply to the consolidated entity.

RAM Australia Retail Property Fund Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2020

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover RAM Australia Retail Property Fund as a Fund consisting of RAM Australia Retail Property Fund and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is RAM Australia Retail Property Fund's functional and presentation currency.

RAM Australia Retail Property Fund is an unlisted registered Managed Investment Trust, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

Registered office

Principal place of business

Suite 31.1 Suite 31.1 264 George Street 264 George Street Sydney NSW 2000 Sydney NSW 2000

A description of the nature of the Fund's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 23 September 2020. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

New or Applicable Accounting Standards

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Fund has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2019. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in � exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.

Impact of adoption

AASB 15 were adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such comparatives have not been restated. There was no impact on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2019 and there is not a material impact in the current year.

Leases � Adoption of AASB 16

The Fund has adopted AASB 16 Leases using the modified retrospective (cumulative catch � up) method from 1 July 2019 and therefore the comparative information for the year ended 30 June 2019 has not been restated and has been prepared in accordance with AASB 117 Leases and associated Accounting Interpretations.

Impact of adoption of AASB 16

Fund as a lessee

Under AASB 117, the Fund assessed whether leases were operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the significant risks and rewards of ownership had been transferred to the Fund or remained with the lessor. Under AASB 16, there is no differentiation between finance and operating leases for the lessee and therefore all leases which meet the definition of a lease are recognised on the statement of financial position (except for short � term leases and leases of low value assets).

� The Fund has elected to use the exception to lease accounting for short term leases and leases of low value assets, and the lease expense relating to these leases are recognised in the statement of profit or loss on a straight line basis.

Fund as a lessor

There are no changes to the Fund under AASB 16 as a lessor. There was no impact on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2019 and there is not a material impact in the current year.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

RAM Australia Retail Property Fund Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2020

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Fund's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 23.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of RAM Australia Retail Property Fund ('trust' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. RAM Australia Retail Property Fund and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Fund'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Fund has control. The Fund controls an entity when the Fund is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Fund. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of the amount of goods and services tax ("GST") levied. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

Rent from investment properties

Rent from investment properties is recognised in the Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent not received at balance date is reflected in the Statement of Financial Position as a receivable or if paid in advance, as rents in advance. Lease incentives granted are recognised over the lease term, on a straight line basis, as a reduction of rent.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognised in the Profit and Loss as it accrues using the effective interest method and, if not received at balance date, is reflected in the Statement of Financial Position as a receivable.

Income tax

Under current Australian income tax legislation, the Trust and the consolidated entity are not liable for income tax, provided that the taxable income (including any assessable component of any capital gains from the sale of investment assets) is fully distributed to Unitholders each year. Tax allowances for building, plant and equipment depreciation are distributed to Unitholders in the form of tax preferred components of distributions.

Cash and cash equivalents

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.

Trade and other receivables

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Fund recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Fund's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

Investment properties

Investment properties principally comprise of freehold land and buildings held for long-term rental and capital appreciation that are not occupied by the Fund. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, including transaction costs, and are subsequently remeasured annually at fair value. Movements in fair value are recognised directly to profit or loss.

Investment properties are derecognised when disposed of or when there is no future economic benefit expected.

Transfers to and from investment properties to property, plant and equipment are determined by a change in use of owneroccupation. The fair value on the date of change of use from investment properties to property, plant and equipment are used as deemed cost for the subsequent accounting. The existing carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is used for the subsequent accounting cost of investment properties on the date of change of use.

Investment properties also include properties under construction for future use as investment properties. These are carried at fair value, or at cost where fair value cannot be reliably determined and the construction is incomplete.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Fund prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Finance costs

Finance costs to external parties include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings.

Finance costs to external parties are recognised as an expense in the Profit and Loss on an accruals basis, and if not paid at balance date, are reflected in the Statement of Financial Position as a liability.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Unitholder's funds

Units within the Fund have been classified as equity as the units are redeemable on liquidation. The life of the trust is indefinite and the Trustee determines the level of distributions on a discretionary basis as the Unitholders are entitled to a pro rata share of the entity's net assets on termination.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new units or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the 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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Comparatives

Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.

Rounding of amounts

The trust is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

14

RAM Australia Retail Property Fund Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2020

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and historical collection rates.

Fair value measurement hierarchy

The Fund is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs.

On the 5th of June 2019, the Fund entered into a single Facility with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. At a reduced gearing ratio of 50%, the Facility was utilised to refinance the individual bank loans covering all of the properties excluding the Ballina asset. The Fund was in compliance with all of the financial covenants and obligations for the period ended 30 June 2020.

On the 25th of October 2019, the Fund amended the single Facility with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia to increase the Facility principal by $21,500,000 to refinance the existing ANZ Facility for Trust 1 containing the Ballina asset. The Fund was in compliance with all of the financial covenants and obligations for the period ended 30 June 2020.

RAM Australia Retail Property Fund Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2020

Note 20. Financial instruments

Financial risk and capital management

The Fund's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Fund's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Fund.

Interest rate risk

The Fund's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Fund to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Fund to fair value interest rate risk. The policy is to maintain approximately 50% of current borrowings at fixed rates using interest rate swaps to achieve this when necessary.

The bank loans outstanding totaling $147,950,000 (2019: $149,825,000) are interest payment loans. An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points (2019: 100 basis points) would have an (adverse)/favourable effect on profit before tax of ($729,500) / $729,500 (2019: ($1,293,978) / $1,293,978) per annum.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will default on their contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the consolidated entity.

The consolidated entity has no significant concentrations of credit risk and has policies to review the aggregate exposure of tenancies across its portfolio. The consolidated entity also has policies to ensure that leases are made to customers with an appropriate credit history.

As at 30 June 2020, for the Fund, the ageing analysis of total trade receivables is as follows:

Not past due
0-30 days past due
31-60 days past due
61-90 days past due

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Fund to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The Fund manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Capital Management

The Fund's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern, whilst providing returns for Unitholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain a capital structure to minimise the cost of capital.

The Responsible Entity can alter the capital structure of the consolidated entity by adjusting the amount of distributions paid to Unitholders and adjusting the timing of development and capital expenditure.

In this context, the consolidated entity considers capital to include interest-bearing loans and borrowings and Unitholders' funds.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3

Direct property assets are valued in accordance with Fund Property Valuation Policy.

This Policy requires that all direct property assets be valued at Fair Value at each balance date. Fair Value is determined at least once every two years by an appropriately qualified independent valuer.

In the intervening periods Fair Value is determined by Trustee, acting in good faith, after considering all relevant market-based information and circumstances.

Where the Trustee believes that there have been significant changes in the value of the direct property assets, an appropriately qualified independent valuer will be engaged at each reporting period in consultation with the scheme auditor to value the direct property assets in accordance with ordinary commercial practice and AIFRS.

In assessing the 30 June 2020 Valuations, the Trustee has adopted the following principles:

  • The Trustee independently valued all the funds properties as at 30 June 2019. It was determined that independent valuations should be undertaken at least every 2 years for future years.

  • Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustee believed it to be prudent to undertake independent valuations as at 30 June 2020 on at least 50% of the Funds properties (by value) in order to better determine the impact of current market conditions on the funds property valuations.

  • 67% of the Fund's properties (by value) were independently valued at 30 June 2020.

The balance of the Fund's properties were valued by the Trustee using best practice market methodologies including discounted cash flow, capitalisation and comparison methodologies.
