OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Group Overview

Homeloans Limited is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company was incorporated on 9 November 2000 acquiring the assets and liabilities of IF & I Securities Pty Ltd (as trustee for the IF & I Securities Unit Trust) and Anedo Pty Ltd. On 19 March 2001, Homeloans Limited shares commenced trading on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Homeloans Limited has prepared a consolidated financial report incorporating the entities that it controlled during the financial year.

Review of operations

A review of operations of the consolidated entity during the financial year, the results of those operations, the changes in the state of affairs and the likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity are set out in this report.

Performance Indicators

Management and the Board monitor the Consolidated entity's overall performance, from its implementation of the strategic plan through to the performance of the company against operating plans and financial budgets. The Board, together with management, have identified key performance indicators (KPIs) that are used to monitor performance. Management monitor KPIs on a regular basis. Directors receive the KPIs for review prior to each monthly board meeting allowing all directors to actively monitor the Consolidated Entity's performance.

Directors also have access to an on-line reporting database allowing access to details of performance against KPIs on a daily, month to date, and year to date basis.

Operating Results for the Year

The consolidated entity experienced an increase in loan originations of 14.8% on the prior corresponding year. A pleasing part of this was the increased penetration of the Homeloans Ltd proprietary funding line, the Residential Mortgage Trust ("RMT").

Revenue increased to $76,497,000 (2005: $71,727,000) primarily due to the increased usage of RMT. However, under AIFRS there is no origination income recognised on the RMT loans. Instead income is recognised as a net interest margin on the loans over the life of the loans. Consolidated net profit after tax for the year was $2,597,000 (2005:$2,492,000), up 4.2% on the previous corresponding period, reflecting a positive result from:

  • increased loan volumes; $\bullet$
  • continued cost reductions; and, ۰
  • the refund of the stamp duty assessment, and
  • an adverse result from the need to defer income recognition on RMT volumes. $\bullet$

Summarised operating results are as follows:

2006
Revenues$'000 Results$'000
Business segmentsOrigination and Management 37,009 7.155
Securitisation of Mortgages 51,580 342

Non-segment and unallocated revenues 936 936
Non-segment and unallocated expenses (1,060)
Consolidated entity sales and profit from ordinaryactivities before income tax expense 76,497 3.627

Shareholder Returns

The Consolidated entity is pleased to report that return to shareholders, both through dividends and capital growth, continues in line with measures implemented by management in the last 2 years. This is reflected in the significant improvement in most financial measures for the current year.

AIFRS Non-AIFRS
2006 2005 2004^^ 2003^^
Basic earning per share (cents) 5.16 3.95 1.73 (40.01)
Return on assets (%) 0.3% 0.4% $1.7%$ (35.6%)
Return on equity (%) 8.1% 6.9% 2.9% $(64.9%)$
Dividend payout ratio (%) 97.0% 30.3% $0.0%$ $N/A**$

Debt to equity measures have not been disclosed due to the impact of the consolidation of RMT during the year. Consolidation of RMT has added over $650 million of debt to the Consolidated Entity's balance sheet without any commensurate impact on equity. RMT, under its trust structure, has assets and liabilities that offset and no equity interests. The traditional ratios do not provide an accurate measure of the Consolidated Entity's ability to manage its debts.

^^ These ratios were calculated under Australian Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (AGAAP). The results for 2005 and 2006 are calculated under Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS).

As a result of the AIFRS requirement under AASB 127 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements to consolidate the special purpose entity, Residential Mortgage Trust (RMT), significant assets have been added to the consolidated balance sheet without any appreciable increase in net profit. The group previously recognised the distributions from the RMT as revenue and was not required to include the RMT asset base. The unadjusted measure is using current AIFRS results.

**Dividend paid of 1.2 cents per share cannot be measured against reported loss for the relevant financial year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The consolidated entity's cash flow statement illustrates that there was an increase in cash and cash equivalents in the year ended 30 June 2006 of $8,628,000 (2005: Decrease of $11,413,000). The increase in cash inflow in comparison with the prior year is caused by a number of factors. Operating activities generated $8,980,000 (2005: $2,042,000) of net cash in-flows.

The increase in cash from operating activities was largely due to the continuation of tighter controls imposed on expenditure across the Consolidated entity's operations, new fees introduced, and more consistent fee charges across the Consolidated entity's product range. The increase in loans originated through RMT resulted in a significant increase in the net interest income collected.

There was an increase in receipts from funders of approximately 10% (2005: 2%) and the ratio of payments to suppliers as a percentage of receipts from customers improved slightly to 107% (2005: 109%).

The Consolidated entity has sufficient funds to finance its operations. The Consolidated Entity also has an overdraft facility of $900,000 which was unutilised at 30 June 2006, primarily to allow for timing mismatches. The Consolidated entity has a cash advance facility with its bankers at 30 June 2006 of $3,800,000 which was only drawn down to the extent of $1,000,000. The Residential Mortgage Trust has a net interest margin facility of $6,000,000 drawn to $5,377,000 and a warehouse facility of $500 million drawn to $60,531,000 at 30 June 2006.

The amount of the Consolidated entity's debts have increased over the last year due to the increased usage of RMT.

Capital Expenditure

There has been a slight increase in cash used to purchase plant and equipment for 30 June 2006 to $199,000 from $168,000 in the year ended 30 June 2005.

Risk Management

The Board is responsible for overseeing the establishment and implementation by management of risk management systems and reviewing the effectiveness of these systems. The Board is assisted in this process by the Audit Committee, which has in its charter, responsibility for overseeing the effective operation of the company's risk management framework.

The fundamental aim of the company's risk management strategy is to balance risk against reward, and to optimise returns to all stakeholders. The company recognises 3 main types of risk:

  • Market risk the risk of change in earnings from changes in market factors such as interest rates, housing market and economic conditions;
  • Operational risk the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events; and
  • Liquidity risk the risk of failure to adequately fund cash demand in the short term.

The Managing Director and Finance Director periodically provide formal statements to the Board that in all material aspects:

  • the company's financial statements present a true and fair view of the company's financial condition and operational results; and
  • the risk management and internal compliance and control systems are sound, appropriate and operating efficiently and effectively.

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include the following:

  • Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses the Consolidated entity's vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholders' needs and manage business risk.
  • Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs of both a financial and non-financial nature.
  • The establishment of committees to report on specific business risks, including for example, such matters as occupational health and safety.

Statement of Compliance

This report is based on the guidelines in The Consolidated entity of 100 Incorporation publication Guide to the Review of Operations and Financial Condition.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Consolidated entity during the financial year.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

Other than as referred to in this report, further information as to likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity would, in the opinion of the directors, be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Consolidated entity is not subject to any specific licence or agreement to comply with the requirements of environmental protection authorities in Australia.

as permitted by section 199B of the Corporations Act 2001.

Terms, conditions and rates are commensurate with the market. The policy prohibits disclosure of the nature of the indemnification and insurance cover, and the amount of the premium.

REMUNERATION REPORT

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for directors and executives of Homeloans Limited (the company).

Remuneration philosophy

The performance of the company depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives. To this end, the company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

  • Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives;
  • Link executive rewards to shareholder value;
  • Significant portion of executive remuneration 'at risk', dependent upon meeting pre-determined performance benchmarks; and,
  • Establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles in relation to variable executive remuneration.

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors, the chief executive officer (CEO) and the senior management team.

The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and senior managers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and senior manager remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. At last year's annual general meeting the aggregate maximum sum available for the remuneration of non-executive directors was increased to $250,000 per anum with effect from and including 1 January 2006.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

Each director receives a fee for being a director of the company.

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

Non-executive directors have long been encouraged by the board to hold shares in the company (purchased by the director on market). It is considered good governance for directors to have a stake in the company whose board he or she sits. The remuneration of non-executive directors for the period ending 30 June 2006 is detailed in Table 1 on page 15 of this report.

Senior manager and executive director remuneration

Objective

The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to:

  • reward executives for company, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
  • align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and
  • link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the company.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee will, from time to time, engage an external consultant to provide independent advice both in the form of a written report detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles as well as the participation of the independent consultant in the meeting from which the Nomination and Remuneration Committee makes its recommendations to the Board.

Remuneration consists of the following key elements:

  • Fixed Remuneration
  • Variable Remuneration
    • Short Term Incentive ('STI'); and
    • $\overline{a}$ Long Term Incentive ('LTI').

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (potential short term and long term incentives) is established for each senior manager by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Table 2 on page 15 details the variable component of the 5 most highly remunerated senior managers.

Fixed remuneration

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the process consists of a review of companywide, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal and, where appropriate, external independent advice on policies and practices.

Structure

The fixed remuneration component is usually paid in cash.

The fixed remuneration component of the 5 most highly remunerated senior managers is detailed in Table 2 on page 15.

Variable remuneration - Short term incentive (STI)

Objective

The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the company's operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the senior manager to achieve the operational targets and such that the cost to the company is reasonable in the circumstances.

Structure

Actual STI payments granted to each senior manager depend on the extent to which specific operating targets set at the beginning of the financial year are met. The operational targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering both financial and non-financial measures of performance.

Typically included are measures such as contribution to net profit after tax, loan originations, customer service, risk management, product management, and leadership/team contribution. The company has predetermined benchmarks which must be met in order to trigger payments under the short term incentive scheme. These measures are designed so as to align employee behaviour with long term shareholder wealth creation.

On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPIs, an overall performance rating for the company and each individual business unit is approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The individual performance of each executive is also rated and all three ratings are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the short term incentive pool that is allocated to each executive.

The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the company is subject to the approval of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Payments made are usually delivered as a cash bonus.

Variable remuneration - Long term incentive (LTI)

Objective

The objective of the LTI plan is to reward senior managers in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

As such LTI grants are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have a direct impact on the Company's performance against the relevant long term performance hurdle.

Structure

LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of options.

These options vest with the executive over varying periods and are not usually subject to a performance hurdle. They usually have a life from date of grant of five years, and are exercisable at specific dates and proportions set at the time of granting the options. Usually 50% of these options are exercisable after two years with the remaining 50% exercisable after three years.

Table 3 on page 16 provides details of options granted, the value of options, vesting periods and lapsed options under the LTI plan.

Employment contracts

No executives are currently employed under a fixed term contract.

Upon termination all vested options remain in place.

Managing Director

Under his conditions of employment, the employment of the Managing Director may be terminated:

  • by the Company by giving 12 months notice; or,
  • by the Managing Director giving the Company 3 months notice.

The Company may make a payment in lieu of requiring the service of the notice period.

Upon termination of employment, the Managing Director is also entitled to his statutory entitlements to accrued annual and long service leave.

Upon termination of employment by the Managing Director giving notice, the Managing Director is entitled to any STI than would otherwise be payable.

Finance Director

Under his conditions of employment, the employment of the Finance Director may be terminated by either party, by giving 3 months notice. The Company may make a payment in lieu of requiring the service of the notice period.

Upon termination of employment, the Finance Director is entitled to his statutory entitlements to accrued annual and long service leave.

Upon termination of employment, the Board has discretion to direct the forfeiture, or to pay the benefit of, any award made under either the STI or LTI plan that remain subject to the satisfaction of any performance or other criteria.

Mortgage Asset Services Pty Ltd

The services of the General Manager Sales are provided by way of a contract with Mortgage Asset Services Pty Ltd ("MAS"). This contract may be terminated by either party, by giving 3 months notice.

Should the Company terminate the contract prior to 31 December 2007, then MAS is entitled to six months payment and any unvested options from those granted on 7 December 2005 will vest, provided loan origination volumes are within 90% of the hurdle volumes.

Other Key Management Personnel

Under their conditions of employment the employment of the Key Management Personnel may be terminated by either party, by giving 1 months notice. The Company may make a payment in lieu of requiring the service of the notice period.

Upon termination of employment, the Key Management Personnel are entitled to their statutory entitlements to accrued annual and long service leave.

@ From 1 July 2002, options granted as part of senior manager remuneration have been valued using a Binomial option pricing model, which takes account of factors including the option exercise price, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividends on the underlying share, current market price of the underlying share and the expected life of the option.

** Refer to Note on Table 2 Page 15.

Fair values of options:

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants made:

Grant Date 29 Apr 2002 2 May 2002 2 May 2002 Apr 2003 Dec 2004 7 Dec 2004 14 Jan 2005
Dividend yield 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% $3.0%$ 3.0% 3.0% 3.0%
Expected volatility 38% 44% 44% 38% 45% 45% 45%
Risk-free interest rate 5.532% 5.442% 5.518% 4.700% 4.905% 4.900% 5.005%
Expected life of option 4.9 vears 4.9 vears 4.9 vears 4.8 vears 5.0 vears 5.0 vears 4.9 vears
Grant Date 14 Oct 05 14 Oct 05 23 Nov 05 23 Nov 05 20 Feb 06 20 Feb 06 7 Apr 06 Apr 06 Apr 06
Dividend yield 3.0% s.0% 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% 3.0%
Expected volatility 45% 45% 45% 45% 45% 45% 45% 45% 45%
Risk-free interest rate .266% 5.276% 5.143% 5.157% 5.052% 5.048% 5.423% 5.337% 5.337%
Expected life of option 3.9 years vears 3.8 vears 4.8 vears 3.5 vears 4.5 vears vears vears vears

The dividend yield reflects the assumption that the current dividend payout will continue with no anticipated increases. The expected life of the options is based on period from grant date to expiry as so far no options have been exercised, and is therefore not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

The resulting weighted average fair values per option for those options vesting after 1 July 2005 are:

COMPANY PEFORMANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RETURNS

The Consolidated entity is pleased to report that return to shareholders, both through dividends and increased share price, is now reflecting the numerous changes effected by the Board and management over the past 2 years. This is highlighted by the significant improvement in most financial measures for the current year as listed below:

AIFRS Non-AIFRS
2006 2005 2004^^ 2003^^
Basic earnings per share (cents) 5.16 3.95 1.73 (40.01)
Return on assets (%) 0.3% 0.4% 1.7% (35.6 %)
Return on equity (%) 8.1% 6.9% 2.9% (64.9%
Dividend payout ratio (%) 97.0% 30.3% 0.0 % $NA^*$
Total Shareholder Return (TSR)
Share price (cents) 10.5 0.0 (7.5) (32.5)
Dividends (cents) 5.0 1.5 0.0 1.2
15.5 1.5 (7.5) (31.3)

۸۸ These ratios were calculated under Australian Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (AGAAP). The results for 2005 and 2006 are calculated under Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS).

As a result of the AIFRS requirement under AASB 127 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements to consolidate the special purpose entity, Residential Mortgage Trust (RMT), significant assets have been added to the consolidated balance sheet without any appreciable increase in net profit. The group previously recognised the distributions from the RMT as revenue and was not required to include the RMT asset base.

* Dividend paid of 1.2 cents per share in 2003 cannot be measured against reported loss for the relevant financial year.

The share price increased during the financial year under review and at the date of this report has shown the benefit of our improved performance with a strong appreciation since the end of the financial year. It is pleasing to see this reflected in the Total Shareholder return measure which is now showing a positive trend. The Board is confident that, as a result of the initiatives in place to increase mortgage origination volumes, increase the penetration of the Homeloans managed securitisation vehicle and continue cost control measures, the Consolidated entity will continue to improve profitability.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Homeloans Ltd is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance. Corporate Governance establishes the framework for how the Board oversees the company and performs its functions on behalf of shareholders. The Board believes that good governance should be fully embedded in the company's framework and culture.

The Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations published in March 2003 by the Australian Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Council, the Commonwealth Government's CLERP 9 reforms and the Australian Standard AS8000 Good Governance Principles have been examined in developing the company's corporate governance principles.

Due to the size of the company's operations, the Board is of the belief that a number of the ASX's recommendations are not appropriate or in the best interest of shareholders. In these cases, the board has elected not to follow the recommendations.

Homeloans Limited's corporate governance practices were in place throughout the year ended 30 June 2006 and were fully compliant with the Council's best practice recommendations except where noted.

For further information on corporate governance policies adopted by Homeloans Limited refer to our website:

www.homeloans.com.au/Corp/CorporateGovernance.aspx

Structure of the Board

The Board consists of directors with an appropriate mix of skill and experience, from different backgrounds, whom together provide the necessary breadth and depth of experience to meet the Board's roles and responsibilities.

The size of the Board is determined by the company's constitution which specifies a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 7 directors. The Board presently consists of 3 non-executive directors and 2 executive directors.

Board Responsibilities

The Board of Homeloans Ltd has the following responsibilities:

  • oversee the conduct of the company's business to evaluate whether the business is being properly managed and to ensure that it is conducted in an honest and ethical manner;
  • ensure that adequate procedures are in place to identify the principal risks of the company's business and delegate the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks to Board Committees and management;
  • select, appoint, evaluate the performance of, determine the remuneration of, plan for the successor of, and removal of the Managing Director;
  • ensure that adequate plans and procedures are in place for succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring the performance of senior management;
  • adopt a strategic planning process and review the company's financial objectives and major corporate plans and actions; and
  • perform other functions as prescribed by law, or assigned to the Board to maximise shareholder value.

The Board of Directors may delegate the above responsibilities to its committees, a director or any other person of authority to perform any of its functions and exercise any of its powers.

Ultimate responsibility for the management and control of the company is vested in the directors, who may then delegate their power to management. The Board has a Delegation of Authority schedule in place, which is reviewed regularly.

An independent director is a non-executive director (i.e. is not a member of management) and:

  • is not a substantial shareholder of the company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the company;
  • within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the company or another Consolidated member;
  • within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the company or another Consolidated entity member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided:
  • is not a material supplier or customer of the company or other Consolidated member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;
  • has no material contractual relationship with the company or another Consolidated member other than as a director of the company; and
  • is free from any interest and any business or other relationship, which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the company.

It is the Board's view that Mr R.N. Scott is an independent non-executive director. The Board does not consist of a majority of independent directors.

The Board of Directors believes that it is hard to justify a larger Board given the size of the company's operations. They are also of the opinion that the company is actually benefiting from having the company's founders give of their experience in the industry and have a financial interest.

The term in office held by each director in office at the date of this report is as follows:

Name Term in Office Name Term in Office
T.A Holmes 5yrs 11 months B.D Jones 2 yrs 4 months
R.P Salmon 5yrs 11 months J.L.A. Smith 7.5 months
R.N Scott Syrs 11 months

For additional details regarding Board appointments, please refer to our website.

Conflict of Interest

Directors are required to disclose private or other business interests and any other matters which may lead to potential or actual conflict of interest to the Board.

Director's dealings with the company will always be at arm's length to avoid the possibility of actual and perceived conflict of interest.

Any director who has a material personal interest in a matter being considered by the Board must not be present when the matter is being considered and may not vote on the matter.

Nomination and Appointment of New Directors

The Board's Nomination and Remuneration Committee has the responsibility for reviewing the membership of the Board on an annual basis to ensure the appropriate skill mix of the board as a whole.

Procedure for the selection and appointment of new directors:

  • The Nomination and Remuneration Committee identifies the required skills, experience, and other qualities required of new directors;
  • Potential candidates are then interviewed by members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and a short list prepared;
  • The Board meets to consider the potential candidates, which is followed by Board members having the opportunity to interview any prospective candidate; and
  • An appointment is then made by the Board.

Rotation of Directors

There are currently two Board Committees whose powers and procedures are governed by the company's Constitution and the relevant Committee's charter. Other Committees may be established from time to time to consider matters of special importance.

The Board uses its committees to support it in matters which require more intensive review. Each committee has a written charter, approved by the Board defining its duties, reporting procedures and authority. Minutes from all Committee meetings are tabled at Board meetings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

Note 1: CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Homeloans Limited for the year ended 30 June 2006 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 2 October 2006.

Homeloans Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia. On 19 March 2001, Homeloans Limited shares commenced trading on the Australian Stock Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Consolidated entity are described in note 3.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

$(a)$ Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and certain financial liabilities, which have been measured at fair value.

The Consolidated entity provides mortgage origination services and housing loans and is a financial institution to which AASB 130 "Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial Institutions" applies.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000) unless otherwise stated under the option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 98/0100. The Company is an entity to which the class order applies.

$(b)$ Statement of compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

This is the first year financial report prepared based on Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS") and except for financial institutions comparatives for the full-year ended 30 June 2005 have been restated accordingly. From 1 July 2005, the Consolidated Entity elected to take the exemption under AASB 1 First Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards to apply AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation from 1 July 2005.

For information on previous accounting policies, refer to the 30 June 2005 full financial report under previous AGAAP.

Reconciliations of AIFRS equity and profit for 30 June 2005 to the balances reported in the 30 June 2005 financial report and at transition to AIFRS are detailed in note 30.

A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Consolidated entity under AIFRS are disclosed below.

$(c)$ Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Homeloans Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Consolidated entity). The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-Consolidated transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated entity and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Consolidated entity.

(d) Investment in associate

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. An associate is an entity in which the Consolidated entity has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. After application of the equity method, the Consolidated entity determines whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to the Consolidated entity's net investment in the associate. The consolidated income statement reflects the Consolidated entity's share of the results of operations of the associate.

Where there has been a change recognised directly in the associate's equity, the Consolidated entity recognises its share of any changes and discloses this in the consolidated statement of recognised income and expense

$(e)$ Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis.

Contingent rentals are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred. Lease incentives are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease.

Finance leases

Leases which effectively transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the consolidated entity are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments and disclosed as property, plant and equipment under lease. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised.

Capitalised lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and charged directly to profit and loss.

The cost of improvements to or on leasehold property is capitalised, disclosed as leasehold improvements, and amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is the shorter.

$(f)$ Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination's synergies.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates.

Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation.

Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

$(q)$ Share-based payment transactions

The Consolidated entity provides benefits to employees (including directors) and to business partners of the Consolidated entity in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby the recipients render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ('equity-settled transactions').

There is currently an Employee Share Scheme in place which provides benefits to directors and senior executives.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by the use of a binomial model.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the share of Homeloans Limited ('market conditions').

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award ('vesting date').

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects:

(i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and

(ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Consolidated, will ultimately vest.

This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

At balance date, the Consolidated entity did not have on issue any options with attaching market based performance conditions.

$(h)$ Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Origination and loan management business-Managed Loans

  • Application fee revenue received in respect of loans is recognised when the service has been provided:
  • Origination commissions are recognised as revenue once the origination of the loan has been completed:
  • Management commission income in respect of loans is recognised once the management service has been provided.

Origination of Non-managed Loans

  • The company receives trailing commissions from lenders on settled loans over the life of the loan based on the loan book balance outstanding to which the Consolidated entity is entitled to without having to perform further services. The company makes trailing commission payments to brokers and commission staff based on the amounts received under the trailing commission arrangement.
  • On initial recognition, trailing commission revenue and receivables are recognised at fair value, being the expected future trailing commission receivables discounted to their net present value. In addition, an associated payable and expense to the brokers and commissioned staff are also recognised, initially at fair value being the future trailing commission payable to brokers and commissioned staff discounted to their net present value.
  • Subsequent to initial recognition and measurement, both the trailing commission asset and trailing commission payable are measured at amortised cost. The carrying amount of the trail commission asset and trailing commission payable are adjusted to reflect actual and revised estimated cash flows by recalculating the carrying amount through computing the present value of estimated future cash flows at the original effective interest rate. The resulting adjustment is recognised as income or expense in the Income Statement.

Securitisation of mortgages

Interest income from loans and advances operated by the Residential Mortgage Trusts is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

$(i)$ Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

$\mathbf{d}$ Cash and cash equivalents

Cash on hand and in banks and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Receivables $(k)$

Trade receivables are recognised and carried at the original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence of impairment. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.

Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis.

Bills of exchange and promissory notes are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

$\mathbf{I}$ Derecognition of financial instruments

The derecognition of a financial instrument takes place when the Consolidated entity no longer controls the contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument, which is normally the case when the instrument is sold, or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed through to an independent third party.

The Consolidated entity utilises a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which issues securities to investors. This SPV meets the criteria of being a 'subsidiary' under AASB 127 - Consolidated and separate financial statements. This transaction does not meet the criteria under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in regards to derecognition of financial instruments. Accordingly, the value of the securitised loans has been recorded in the balance sheet with the related interest earned and interest paid recognised through the consolidated income statement.

Recoverable amount of assets $(m)$

At each reporting date, the Consolidated entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Consolidated entity makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Recoverable amount of financial assets $(n)$

The Consolidated entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

$(i)$ Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (ie the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The Consolidated entity first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

Loans and advances $(0)$

All loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value and include transaction costs associated with the loans and advances.

Loans and advances are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transactions costs, and all other premiums or discounts on acquisition, over the period to maturity.

Gains and losses are recognised in income when the loans and advances are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Plant and equipment $(p)$

Cost and valuation

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all plant and equipment over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Plant and equipment - over 5 to 15 years.

Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If any such indication exists and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of a fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognising of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the Income Statement in the period the item is derecognised.

$(q)$ Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost.

Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings $(r)$

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method other than those which are measured at fair value through the profit and loss. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transactions costs, and all other premiums or discounts on acquisition, over the period to maturity.

Gains or losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised and also as well as through the amortisation process.

$(s)$ Reset preference shares

Reset Preference Shares are classified as debt within the Balance Sheet and measured at amortised cost. Distributions to the holders are treated as interest expense in the Income Statement and are not deductible for tax purposes. The costs associated with the issue of the Reset Preference Shares are charged to the Income Statement on an effective yield basis.

$(t)$ Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the economic entity has a legal, equitable or constructive obligation to make a future sacrifice of economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events and it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

A provision for dividends is not recognised as a liability unless the dividends are declared, determined or publicly recommended on or before the reporting date.

$(u)$ Deferred expenses

Mortgage origination costs relating to managed loans that are directly attributable to establishing specific loans, other than those funded by a Residential Mortgage Trust, and which would not have been incurred had these contracts not been entered into, have been deferred. They are amortised at a rate of 2.335% (2005: 2.335%) per month on a reducing balance basis. This rate is equal to the long-term average monthly run-off rate applicable to the underlying loan book upon which the management income is earned.

Taxes $(v)$

Income tax

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • Except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affect neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, and associates, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

(w) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the costs of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
  • Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or pavable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Balance Sheet.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

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

Investments and other financial assets $(x)$

The Consolidated entity has elected to apply the option available under AASB 1 of adopting AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005. Outlined below are the relevant accounting policies for investments and other financial assets applicable for the years ending 30 June 2006 and 30 June 2005.

Accounting policies applicable for the year ending 30 June 2006

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement is classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs. The Consolidated entity determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, reevaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Consolidated entity commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Consolidated entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as availablefor-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition availablefor sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

Accounting policies applicable for the year ending 30 June 2005

Listed shares held for trading were carried at net market value. Changes in net market value were recognised as a revenue or expense in determining the net profit for the period.

All other non-current investments were carried at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount

Non-current financial assets measured using the cost basis were not carried at an amount above their recoverable amount, and when a carrying value exceeded this recoverable amount, the financial asset was written down to its recoverable amount. In determining recoverable amount, the expected net cash flows were discounted to their present value using a market determined risk adjusted discount rate of 15.2%.

Derivative financial instruments $(v)$

The Consolidated entity uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to manage its risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to the income statement.

The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to market values for similar instruments.

$(z)$ Employee benefits

Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and long service leave.

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the market yield as at the reporting date on national government bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, are used.

Employee benefit expenses and revenues arising in respect of the following categories:

  • wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave, sick leave and other leave benefits; and
  • other types of employee benefits

Are recognised against profits on a net basis in their respective categories.

$(aa)$ Earnings per share

Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, outstanding during the period, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted for the after tax effect of:

  • Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; $\bullet$
  • Dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
  • Other non discretionary changes in revenues and expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

$(bb)$ Provision for impairment of loans and advances

Provision is made for impaired loans when there is objective evidence that the principal amount of the loan can be collected in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

The Consolidated entity provides for impaired loans based on the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of future principal and interest repayments as well as expected recoveries.

$(cc)$ Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

$(dd)$ Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

Significant accounting judgements

In the process of applying the group's accounting policies, management has made judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have had an impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. No judgements have been determined to be individually significant.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next reporting period are:

Impairment of goodwill

The Company determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill are discussed in note 14.

Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial valuation model, based on assumptions in note 15.

Provisions for loans and advances

The Company provides for impaired loans where there is a reasonable doubt whether the principal amount of the loan can be collected in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

The Company provides for loans and advances based on anticipated losses on loans that are known to be impaired (specifically impaired assets), and also based on prior historical loss evidence and other factors on a group basis (collectively impaired assets).

Deferred expenses

Mortgage origination costs relating to managed loans that are directly attributable to establishing specific loans, other than those funded by a Residential Mortgage Trust, and which would not have been incurred had these contracts not been entered into, are deferred. They are amortised at a rate of 2.335% per month on a reducing balance basis. This rate is equal to the long-term average monthly runoff rate applicable to the underlying loan book upon which the management income is earned.

Note 3: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Consolidated entity's primary segment reporting format is business segments as the Consolidated entity's risks and rates of return are affected predominantly by differences in the products and services produced.

The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets.

Business segments

The following tables present revenue and profit information and certain asset and liability information regarding business segments for the years ended 30 June 2006 and 30 June 2005. The Consolidated Entity has two identifiable business segments:

Origination and management; and

Securitisation of mortgages

The origination and management segment originates residential mortgages through external mortgage brokers, satellite offices and internal consultants. The funding for these mortgages is supplied by a pool of funders, and then the origination and management segment continues the ongoing management of that loan after it is processed and settled.

The securitisation of mortgages segment is the Consolidated Entity's own funding source. Using a series of mortgage trusts, this segment packages groups of mortgages and sells the income stream via a securitised mortgage trust.

Tax consolidation

Effective 1 July 2003, for the purposes of income taxation, Homeloans Limited and its 100% owned subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group. The members of the group have entered into a tax sharing and funding arrangement in order to allocate income tax liability to the wholly-owned subsidiaries on a pro-rata basis. In addition the agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Homeloans Limited.

Homeloans Limited formally notified the Australian Tax Office of its adoption of the tax consolidation regime when it lodged its 30 June 2004 consolidated tax return.

Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group

Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax sharing and funding agreement. The tax sharing and funding agreement provides for the allocation of the current income tax liability to members of the tax consolidated group based on a group allocation approach.

The allocation of taxes under the tax sharing and funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the subsidiaries' inter-company accounts with the tax consolidated entity's head company, Homeloans Limited.

Note 6: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (after deducting interest on the convertible redeemable preference shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (after deducting interest on the convertible redeemable preference shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

The useful life of the assets was estimated as follows both for 2005 and 2006:

Plant and equipment

5 to 15 years

All balances of Plant & Equipment have been granted first mortgages as security over bank loans. The terms of the first mortgages preclude the assets being sold or being used as security for further mortgages without the permission of the first mortgage holder. The first mortgage holder also requires all assets to be fully insured at all times.

The carrying value of plant and equipment held under finance leases at 30 June 2006 is $1,249,000 (2005: $1,668,000). Additions during the year include $Nil (2005: $70,000) of plant and equipment held under finance leases. Leased assets are pledged as security for the related finance lease.

* The $537,000 represents the write-off of certain plant and equipment as a result of the closure and relocation of various Homeloans offices during the financial year.

Goodwill acquired through business combinations have been allocated to two individual cash generating units, which are reportable segments, for impairment testing as follows:

  • Origination and Management
  • Securitisation of Mortgages $\blacksquare$

Fair values of options:

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants made:

Grant Date 14 Oct 05 14 Oct 05 23 Nov 05 23 Nov 05 20 Feb 06
Dividend yield 3.0% $3.0%$ 3.0% $3.0%$ $3.0%$
Expected volatility 45% 45% 45% 45% 45%
Risk-free interest rate 5.266% 5.276% 5.143% 5.157% 5.052%
Expected life of option 3.9 years 4.9 years 3.8 years 4.8 years 3.5 years
Grant Date 20 Feb 06 7 Apr 06 7 Apr 06 7 Apr 06

Risk-free interest rate 5.048% 5.423% 5.337% 5.337%
Expected life of option 4.5 years 3.7 years 3.7 years 3.7 years

The dividend yield reflects the assumption that the current dividend payout will continue with no anticipated increases. The expected life of the options is based on period from grant date to expiry as so far no options have been exercised, and is therefore not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

Options exercised:

No options were exercised by employees during the year ended 30 June 2006, or during the previous year ended 30 June 2005.

Each share has a nominal value of $10.00 and may be convertible at the option of the Company or the shareholder into ordinary shares on 30 November 2006 on the basis of a minimum of 20 ordinary shares and a maximum of 50 ordinary shares for each reset preference share. The final conversion factor will depend on the average share price over the last 20 trading days prior to the reset date.

Reset preference shares carry a cumulative entitlement to an unfranked dividend of 10% per annum payable half yearly (31 May and 30 November) in arrears until conversion to ordinary shares or into cash.

The first reset date is 30 November 2006. Reset dates after the first reset date are expected to be every three years. If the dividend is franked to any extent, it will be reduced so that the after tax return to the holder is the same as it would have been if the dividend were unfranked.

Reset preference shares do not entitle their holder to a vote at a meeting of the company, except in certain circumstances.

As of 1 July 2005, Reset Preference Shares are now treated as a liability under the application of AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. The Company has adopted the AASB 1 First Time adoption of AIFRS option of applying AASB 132 and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement from 1 July 2005. Correspondingly, the dividends paid on the Reset Preference Shares are now treated as an interest expense.

The employee option reserve recognises the fair value of options issued to employees and other related parties as remuneration and charges this to the income statement. It applies to all share-based payments issued after 7 November 2002, which have not vested as at 1 January 2005. The option value is calculated using a Binomial model and the value is charged to the Employee Option Reserve over the period in which the options are due to vest. The value allocated to each option issue is determined, among other things, by reference to likelihood of the recipient exercising the option, the share price at the date of grant, the volatility of the share price, and current risk free interest rates (see Note 15).

Note 24: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Consolidated entity has other financial assets and liabilities such as cash assets, trade receivables, payables and interest bearing liabilities, which arise directly from its operations. The Consolidated entity also enters into derivative transactions, including interest rate swaps. The purpose is to manage the interest rate arising from the Consolidated entity's operations and its sources of finance. The main risks arising from the Consolidated entity's financial instruments are interest rate risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 2 to the financial statements.

Interest rate risk

The consolidated entity's exposure to interest rate risks and the effective interest rates of financial assets and financial liabilities, both recognised and unrecognised at a floating interest rate.

Credit risk exposures

The consolidated entity's maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated in the balance sheet.

Concentration of credit risk

The consolidated entity minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to accounts receivable by undertaking transactions with a number of investment grade lending institutions within the APRA regulated banking industry. The consolidated entity is not materially exposed to any individual lender. Some agreements with lenders also contain provisions requiring the consolidated entity to pay instalments due from borrowers until securities are enforced or an insurance claim has been paid and to purchase the mortgage from the lender if Homeloans Limited is in default. The consolidated entity's risk in this area is mitigated by insurance policies.

Fair values

Set out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Consolidated entity's financial instruments recognised in the financial statements.

The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the net fair values of financial assets and liabilities:

Recognised Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalent: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity.

Receivables, payables, non-interest bearing liabilities and variable rate interest bearing liabilities: The carrying amount approximates fair value. In the case of Non-interest bearing liabilities, this is because they are short term in nature.

The fair value of interest rate swap contracts and fixed rate interest bearing liabilities is determined by reference to market value for similar instruments.

  • R.N.Scott Director (non-executive)

$(b)$ Compensation of Key Management Personnel

$(i)$ Compensation Policy

The Board of Directors of Homeloans Limited is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive team. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base emolument in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the company.

To assist in achieving these objectives, the Board links the nature and amount of executive directors' and officers emoluments to the company's financial and operational performance.

In addition, all executives are entitled to annual bonuses payable upon the achievement of KPIs and annual corporate profitability measures, the most important being return on shareholder's equity.

$(A)$ Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of Homeloans Limited is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and other key management personnel.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of compensation of key management personnel on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team.

$(B)$ Non-executive Director Compensation

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. At last year's annual general meeting the aggregate maximum sum available for the remunerate of non-executive directors was increased to $250,000 per anum with effect from and including 1 January 2006.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

Each director receives a fee for being a director of the company. No additional fee is paid for each board committee on which a director sits.

Non-executive directors have long been encouraged by the board to hold shares in the company (purchased by the director on market). It is considered good governance for directors to have a stake in the company whose board he or she sits.

$(C)$ Executive Compensation

Objective

The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to:

  • reward executives for company, business unit and individual performance against targets set by $\bullet$ reference to appropriate benchmarks;
  • align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
  • link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the company; and $\bullet$
  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board will from time to time engage an external consultant to provide independent advice both in the form of a written report detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles as well as the participation of the independent consultant in the meeting from which the Committee makes its recommendations to the Board.

Remuneration consists of the following key elements:

  • Fixed Remuneration
  • Variable Remuneration
    • Short Term Incentive ('STI'); and
    • Long Term Incentive ('LTI').

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (potential short term and long term incentives) is established for each senior manager by the Board.

Fixed Compensation $(D)$

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board and the process consists of a review of companywide, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. As noted above, the Board has access to external advice independent of management.

Structure

Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the company.

$(E)$ Variable Compensation - Short Term Incentive (STI)

Objective

The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the company's operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the senior manager to achieve the operational targets and such that the cost to the company is reasonable in the circumstances.

Structure

Actual STI payments granted to each senior manager depend on the extent to which specific operating targets set at the beginning of the financial year are met. The operational targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering both financial and non-financial measures of performance. Typically included are measures such as contribution to net profit after tax, customer service, risk management, product management, and leadership/team contribution. The company has predetermined benchmarks which must be met in order to trigger payments under the short term incentive scheme.

On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPIs, an overall performance rating for the company and each individual business unit is approved by the the Board. The individual performance of each executive is also rated and all three ratings are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the short term incentive pool that is allocated to each executive.

The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the company is subject to the approval of the Board. Payments made are usually delivered as a cash bonus.

$(F)$ Variable Pay - Long Term Incentive (LTI)

Objective

The objective of the LTI plan is to reward senior managers in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

As such LTI grants are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have a direct impact on the Company's performance against the relevant long term performance hurdle.

Structure

LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of options.

These options vest with the executive over varying periods and are not usually subject to a performance hurdle. They usually have a life from date of grant of five years, and are exercisable at specific dates and proportions set at the time of granting the options. Usually 50% of these options are exercisable after two years with the other 50% exercisable after three years.

Table 3 on page 16 provide details of options granted, the value of options, vesting periods and lapsed options under the LTI plan.

$(f)$ Other transactions and balances with Key Management Personnel

There were no transaction between key management personnel and the consolidated group during the year. There were no balances owed by/to the key management personnel and any member of the Consolidated Entity.

Note 30: TRANSITION TO AIFRS

For all periods up to and including the year ended 30 June 2005, the Consolidated entity prepared its financial statements in accordance with Australian generally accepted accounting practice (AGAAP). These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2006 are the first the Consolidated entity is required to prepare in accordance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS).

Accordingly, the Consolidated entity has prepared financial statements that comply with AIFRS applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 and the significant accounting policies meeting those requirements are described in note 2. In preparing these financial statements, the Consolidated entity has started from an opening balance sheet as at 1 July 2004, the Consolidated entity's date of transition to AIFRS, and made those changes in accounting policies and other restatements required by AASB 1 First-time adoption of AIFRS.

This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Consolidated entity in restating its AGAAP balance sheet as at 1 July 2004 and its previously published AGAAP financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2005.

Exemptions applied

AASB 1 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the general requirement to apply AIFRS retrospectively.

The Consolidated entity has taken the following exemptions:

  • Comparative information for financial instruments is prepared in accordance with AGAAP and the company and Consolidated have adopted AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement from 1 July 2005.
  • AASB 3 Business Combinations has not been applied to acquisitions of subsidiaries or of interests in associates and joint ventures that occurred before 1 July 2004.
  • AASB 2 Share-based Payment has not been applied to any equity instruments that were granted on or before 7 November 2002, nor has it been applied to equity instruments granted after 7 November 2002 that vested before 1 January 2005.

Explanation of material adjustments to the cash flow statement

The material difference between the cash flow statements presented under AIFRS and those presented under AGAAP relates to the consolidation of Residential Mortgage Trust ("RMT"). Under AASB 127 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" the RMT has been consolidated as part of the Homeloans group, and the cash flows through the trusts form part of the consolidated cash flows. These cash flows are significantly larger than those previously recorded in the Homeloans Condensed Cash Flow Statement.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO MEMBERS OF HOMELOANS LIMITED

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for Homeloans Limited (the company) and the consolidated entity, for the year ended 30 June 2006. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year.

The directors of the company are responsible for preparing a financial report that gives a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the company and the consolidated entity, and that complies with Accounting Standards in Australia, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing. the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards in Australia, and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

  • examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report; and
  • assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

We performed procedures to assess whether the substance of business transactions was accurately reflected in the financial report. These and our other procedures did not include consideration or judgement of the appropriateness or reasonableness of the business plans or strategies adopted by the directors and management of the company.

Independence

We are independent of the company and the consolidated entity and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor's Independence Declaration. In addition to our audit of the financial report, we were engaged to undertake the services disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The provision of these services has not impaired our independence.

Audit opinion

In our opinion the financial report of Homeloans Limited is in accordance with:

  • $(a)$ the Corporations Act 2001, including:
    • giving a true and fair view of the financial position of Homeloans Limited and the $(i)$ consolidated entity at 30 June 2006 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
    • $(ii)$ complying with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
  • $(b)$ other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia.
