DIVIDENDS

Cents $'000
Final dividends recommended:
Final dividend for 2012
- on ordinary shares 3.5 3,733
Dividends paid in the year:
Interim for the year
- on ordinary shares (fully franked) 2.5 2,660
Final dividend for 2011
- on ordinary shares (fully franked) 3.5 3,628

When making payment of the final dividend for 2011 and the interim dividend for 2011 from current year profits, the Company had announced that these dividends were fully franked for Australian Income Tax purposes. The Company had sufficient franking credits available to fully frank these dividends.

Management obtained a private ruling from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) dated 25 January 2012 which covers the period from 1 July 2010 to 31 December 2012. The ruling concludes that past dividends paid by the Group and the interim and final dividends proposed to be paid out of current period profits constitute frankable distributions under section 202-40 of the ITAA 1997. Management is confident that if necessary this private ruling can be extended beyond 31 December 2012.

Notwithstanding the favourable private ruling obtained, it is also noted that on 27 June 2012, the ATO released a public ruling on this matter, Taxation Ruling TR 2012/5. This ruling provided confirmation that a dividend paid out of current trading profits will be frankable even if the company has un-recouped prior year accounting losses or has lost part of its share capital. The ruling was consistent with the private ruling obtained by Homeloans Limited.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activities during the year of entities within the Group were:

  • mortgage origination and management of home loans; and

  • securitisation of mortgages through the Residential Mortgage Trust (RMT), a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) used to issue residential mortgage backed securities.

The principal activities were conducted under the brand names Homeloans Limited, Access Home Loans, Independent Mortgage Corporation Pty Ltd, Auspak Financial Services Pty Limited and FAI First Mortgage Pty Ltd. As of the balance date, the Company has mortgage origination and management agreements with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited, Advantedge Financial Services, Origin Mortgage Management Services, ING Bank (Australia) Limited, Pepper Homeloans Pty Ltd, Residential Mortgage Trust and other institutions.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

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 Group 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 Group are set out in this report.

Performance Indicators

Management and the Board monitor the Group’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 (KPI’s) that are used to monitor performance. Management monitor KPI’s on a regular basis. Directors receive the KPI’s for review prior to each monthly board meeting allowing all directors to actively monitor the Group’s performance.

Operating Results for the Year

On a statutory basis, net profit after tax for the year was $8,110,000, down from the previous financial year result of $9,162,000. On a normalised basis, net profit after tax was $8,023,000, down marginally on the comparable prior year result of $8,076,000 (See Table 1 on page 9).

The Group has delivered a resilient result amidst what continues to be a challenging mortgage market. Despite a subdued economic environment and a highly competitive market, the Group focused on growing its business with the acquisition in June 2012 of the business of Refund Home Loans Pty Ltd (“Refund”).

The acquisition of Refund has provided an excellent platform for taking Homeloans to the next level. As part of the acquisition, the Group acquired trail income and expense rights to Refund’s $1.9 billion loan book. In addition, 54 Refund brokers entered into agreements to become Homeloans-branded brokers which now enhances the Group’s branded retail network substantially around Australia.

With housing credit growth at historically low levels, loan balances under administration by the Group (excluding the securitised loan portfolio and the Refund loan portfolio) increased 5.8% on the previous financial year. The Group has continued to grow its branded loan book, achieving growth of 6.3% on June 2011, reflecting ongoing focus on providing a competitive offering and on retention activities. Lending volumes were down by 4% on the previous financial year. No new loans were written in the RMT during the year. As the current securitised loan portfolio reduces, the net fee commission income generated from this segment has declined accordingly. These factors combined have resulted in a decrease of 6% in net fee and commission income to $15,053,000, down from the previous corresponding period result of $16,083,000.

Total operating expenses of $15,544,000 were down 13.6% from the corresponding period of $17,982,000. After allowing for one off costs associated with the Refund acquisition of $292,000, operating expenses were $15,252,000, down 15.2% on the prior year. This reduction reflects concerted efforts across the Group to improve operating efficiencies in a lower growth environment. Achieving further efficiency improvements and ensuring we continue to be agile and customer orientated will remain key areas of focus for the Group over the year ahead.

  • The normalised profit after tax disclosed is unaudited. Management believe the disclosure of the normalised profit after tax provides additional insight into the underlying performance for the period.

The Group’s warehouse facility has been extended for a further 12 months to 30 June 2013 and there continues to be regular discussions with the warehouse provider as to the future utilisation and maturity of the facility given ongoing uncertainty in the global economy and within credit markets. It should be noted that the warehouse facility is structured so that in the highly unlikely event it is not renewed or otherwise defaults, there is only limited recourse to the Group. If the warehouse facility is not renewed or otherwise defaults and the related assets are liquidated, the primary impact for the Group would be the loss of future income streams from excess spread, being the difference between the Group’s mortgage rate and the cost of funds and fee income. The directors are satisfied that in the event of either of these scenarios occurring, the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern will not be affected.

The Group expects general market conditions to remain subdued at least into the first half of the new financial year. The Board is confident the environment, combined with the increase in distribution networks, will present opportunities for the Group to continue to grow and differentiate itself in the market. The Group remains focused on expanding our business via acquisitions and organic growth, increasing lending volumes through strategic relationships with our wholesale funders and enhancing our product offering.

The Company has maintained good levels of residual cash reserves which continue to be supported by strong operating cashflows emanating from underlying earnings. The Company also remains free of any recourse debt facilities having repaid these in full in the 2010 financial year. The Board believes the ongoing cash reserves will be more than sufficient to meet the Group’s ongoing funding requirements including future business development and investment.

Debt to equity measures have not been disclosed due to the impact of the consolidation of RMT. Consolidation of RMT adds significant debt to the Group’s Statement of Financial Position without any commensurate impact on equity. RMT, under its trust structure, has assets and liabilities that offset and no equity interests.

  1. Results for 2008 have been further adjusted based upon the Group’s change in accounting policy on the computation of the effective interest rate method on loan assets.

  2. An interim dividend was paid based on a result prior to impairment losses toward the end of 2008 financial year. No final dividend was paid as a result of the statutory loss recorded of $12,511,000 in 2008.

  3. Return on assets is calculated by taking the net profit after tax for the year and dividing by the average total assets. As a result of the 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 Statement of Financial Position without any appreciable increase in net profit.

  4. Return on equity is calculated by taking the net profit after tax for the year and dividing by the average total equity.

  5. Dividend Payout Ratio is calculated by dividing dividends declared from net profit after tax for the year by the net profit after tax.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Group’s Statement of Cash Flows illustrates that there was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the year ended 30 June 2012 of $876,000 (2011: Decrease of $36,632,000).

Operating cash flow of $6,548,000 (2011: $4,152,000) includes cash available to the investors in the special purpose vehicles (SPV) of RMT, which is maintained in the trust cash collections accounts. The balance of cash in these cash collections accounts is not available to the Group. The movement in these cash balances during the financial year was negative $1,720,000 (2011: negative movement of $2,627,000). Therefore, if the RMT SPV’s had not been consolidated, total Group operating cashflow would have been $8,268,000 (2011: $6,779,000).

The Group maintains sufficient capital reserves to meet ongoing funding requirements. In addition to solid cash reserves, the Group also has an overdraft facility of $900,000 which was unutilised at 30 June 2012. The Residential Mortgage Trust has a warehouse facility of $250,000,000 as at 30 June 2012 (2011: $350,000,000) drawn to $244,040,000 at 30 June 2012 (2011: $309,373,000).

Capital Expenditure

There has been a decrease in cash due to the purchase of equipment during the year ended 30 June 2012 of $182,000 compared to $299,000 in the year ended 30 June 2011.

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 three 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 Chief Financial Officer 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 Group’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 Group'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 KPI’s of both a financial and non-financial nature.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

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

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

On 27[th] August 2012, the Directors of the Company declared a final dividend in respect of the year ended 30 June 2012 of 3.5 cents per share, fully franked. The dividend has not been provided for in the 30 June 2012 financial statements. The final dividend is payable on 2[nd] October 2012.

On 18[th] July 2012, the Group disposed of its 26.5% holding in National Mortgage Brokers Pty Limited for $1,550,000.

Other than the matters reported above, there has been no other matter or circumstance that has arisen since the balance date that has affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent periods.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

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

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

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.

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 and Group’s financial and operational performance.

In addition, all executives are entitled to annual bonuses payable upon the achievement of KPI’s and annual corporate profitability measures, the most important being return on shareholder’s equity. Details of company performance and shareholder returns are discussed on page 19 of this report.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors, the Managing Director and the executives.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and executives 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 executive 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 the November 2005 annual general meeting the aggregate maximum sum available for the remuneration of non-executive directors was increased to $250,000 per annum 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 may consider advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

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 on. The remuneration of non-executive directors for the period ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 is detailed in Table 1 on page 17.

Executive remuneration

Objective

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

  • reward executives for Group, 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 may, from time to time, engage an external consultant to provide independent advice detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles. No external consultant was engaged in the year ended 30 June 2012.

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 executive by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Table 1 on page 17 details the variable component of the Key Management Personnel, of the Company and the Group.

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.

Structure

The fixed remuneration component is usually paid in cash.

The fixed remuneration component of the Key Management Personnel of the Company and the Group are detailed in Table 1 on page 17.

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 executive 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 executive 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 (KPI’s) covering both financial and non-financial, corporate and individual 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 were chosen and designed to align executive behaviour with long term shareholder wealth creation.

On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPI’s, 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. This process usually occurs within three months after the reporting date.

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

There have been no alterations to the STI bonus plans since their grant date.

STI Bonus for 2012 financial year

The remuneration committee determined the STI payments for the 2012 financial year in August 2012. The STI cash bonus for the 2012 financial year is $280,500, which includes $102,000 for the Key Management Personnel, and will vest and be paid in the 2013 financial year.

Variable remuneration — Long term incentive (LTI)

Objective

The objective of the LTI plan is to reward executives 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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Structure

LTI grants to executives are most commonly delivered in the form of options, but may take other forms, including cash payments.

In the case of options being issued, the options vest with the executive over varying periods and are not usually subject to a performance hurdle, as these options are issued to executives as a form of retention bonus and incentive to contribute to the creation of shareholder wealth. 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.

Table 2 on page 18 provide details of options granted, the value of options, vesting periods and exercised and lapsed options under the LTI plan.

LTI Cash Bonus for the 2010 financial year

In July 2010, the remuneration committee determined a “special cash bonus” for the 2010 financial year. Part of this “special cash bonus”, which was also subject to a loyalty period, had been treated as an LTI amount given the payment was to be made in December 2011. This component of the “special cash bonus” was granted to executives based on the measurement of performance against the same set of KPI’s as outlined for the STI Bonus which covered financial and non-financial, corporate and individual targets.

The amount vested and paid in December 2011 was $157,500, which included $117,500 for the Key Management Personnel.

LTI Share Bonus for the 2013 financial year

In August 2012, the Board awarded a “share based bonus” subject to shareholder approval of a new share award plan. This share based payment will be reflected in the 2013 Remuneration report. This LTI share based payment will be subject to continuing employment and amounts to $56,500, which includes $25,000 for the Key Management Personnel.

Employment contracts

Upon termination all vested options remain in place.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Homeloans Limited 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. This statement reflects the Company’s corporate governance system as at the date of this report.

This statement reports against the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s “Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations” released in August 2007 and including 2010 amendments. As required by the ASX Listing Rules, this statement sets out the extent to which Homeloans Limited has followed the Principles or, where appropriate, indicates a departure from them with an explanation.

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.

For further information on the corporate governance policies adopted by Homeloans Limited refer to our website: http://www.homeloans.com.au/.

– Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The role of the Board and delegations

The Board has the responsibility and is accountable to shareholders for the management and control of the Company’s business and affairs. The Board has identified the key functions which it has reserved for itself. These duties are outlined below and set out in the Board Charter, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website:

  • 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 may establish Committees to assist in carrying out its responsibilities and to oversee the management of the Company. The Board Committees are discussed in Principle 2. The Board will also consider management recommendations with respect to various financial and operational matters.

Management responsibility

The Board 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.

The Board has delegated to the Managing Director the authority and powers necessary to implement the strategies approved by the Board and to manage the business affairs of the Company within the policies and delegation limits specified by the Board from time to time. The Managing Director may further delegate to senior management but remains accountable for all such delegated authority.

Executive performance assessment

Senior executives participate in an annual performance review process which involves the establishment of performance objectives and measures, and the review of achievement. The process also involves assessment of remuneration tied to the company achieving its goals. For a full overview of the performance evaluation process for executives, please refer to the remuneration report which is contained within the Directors’ Report. A review of executive performance was undertaken during the year in line with this process.

The Managing Director’s performance is reviewed annually by the Board and is assessed on achievement of the targets and applicable budgets.

24

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value

Membership 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 table below summarises the current composition of the Board and the term in office held by each director at the date of this report. Background details of each director are set out in the Director’s Report.

Name Position Term in Office
T.A Holmes Executive Chairman 11yrs 11 months
R.P Salmon Non–Executive Director 11yrs 11 months
R.N Scott Non–Executive Director 11yrs 11 months
G.J Buchanan Non–Executive Director 4 months
A.L Hall Non–Executive Director 3yrs 11 months

The Executive Chairman is currently exercising the role of Managing Director and has done so since the previous Managing Director resigned on 30 September 2008. This appointment was made to ensure the Company maintained leadership and direction during what was then a very challenging period.

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.

The Board is committed to ensuring that new directors are familiar with the Company’s businesses. New directors are provided with an orientation and education program. Directors may undertake continuing education courses at the Company’s expense, with the prior approval of the Chairman or the Board.

Retirement and re-election of Directors

The Company’s constitution specifies that one third of the Board, excluding the Managing Director, must retire from the office and stand for re-election at each Annual General Meeting. Further, each director, excluding the Managing Director, must stand for re-election every 3 years.

During the year, Mr R.N Scott and Mr A.L Hall retired from the Board and were re-elected at the 2011 annual general meeting.

Succession Planning

The Board plans succession of its own members in conjunction with the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee, taking into account the skill and experience of current board members and the company’s future direction and needs.

The Board retains overall responsibility for succession planning of the Managing Director, via the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Managing Director are responsible for the succession planning of other senior executives.

Review of Board performance

The Board reviews its overall performance, the performance of Board Committees and the performance of each individual director annually. The performance of directors is subject to annual peer review.

Director independence

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,

  • 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 Group 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. In forming this view, the Board had regard to whether Mr Scott had any of the relationships noted above.

The Board does not consist of a majority of independent directors. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the company is actually benefiting from having both the Company’s founders give of their experience in the industry and have a financial interest as well as leveraging the broad experience in the mortgage lending industry of other directors on the board.

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. A ‘material’ interest would depend on the individual matter being considered, and whether it would be deemed to be material

Board Access to Information and Advice

All directors have access to any employees, company advisers, records and information they may require to carry out their duties. The Board also receives regular financial and operational reports from executive management.

Directors have the right to seek independent professional advice in connection with their duties and responsibilities at the company’s expense, to help them carry out their responsibilities. Prior notification to the Chairman, or the Board’s approval is required.

Board Committees

There are currently two Board Committees whose powers and procedures are governed by the company’s Constitution and the relevant Committee’s charter – the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. 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.

Copies of the Board Committee charters are available on the Company’s website.

Details of Directors’ membership of each Committee and their attendance at meetings throughout the period are set out in the Director’s Report.

Integrity of Homeloans financial reporting

In accordance with its Charter, the Audit Committee must have at least three members and is chaired by an independent Director who is not Chair of the Board. Owing to the size of the Board and the fact that there is only one independent director, it is not possible for the majority of the Audit Committee to comprise of independent directors.

27

  • evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system and implement a risk management framework;

  • appoint, monitor and review the activities of the Company’s external auditors;

  • monitor the effectiveness and independence of the auditors;

  • review and report to the board on the Company’s annual and half-year financial statements, and its accounting policies and principles adopted;

  • ensure adequate compliance controls; and

  • review and recommend any appropriate amendments to corporate governance policies and framework.

A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website.

Declaration by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent)

The CEO and CFO periodically provide formal assurance statements to the Board that:

  • 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.

Independent external audit

The Company requires its independent external audit to:

  • provide stakeholders with assurance over the true and fair view of the financial reports; and

  • ensure accounting practices comply with applicable accounting rules and policies.

The Company’s independent external auditor is Ernst & Young (EY). External auditors are required to rotate the engagement partner assigned to the Company on a five year basis. Under this policy, the lead audit engagement partner assigned to the Company rotated at the conclusion of the 2007 financial reporting period. The Board has requested that EY attend the Company’s annual general meeting, and that they be available to answer questions arising in relation to the conduct of their audit.

– Principle 5 Make timely and balanced disclosure

Continuous disclosure policy

The Company is committed to ensuring all investors have equal and timely access to material information concerning the Company and that Company announcements are factual and presented in a clear and objective manner.

The Company’s “Communication Policy”, which is available on the Company’s website, is designed to ensure compliance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules continuous disclosure requirements. The Board has designated “Disclosure Officers” who comprise both directors and senior management. Disclosure Officers are responsible for: making decisions on what should be disclosed publicly; maintaining a watching brief on information; and ensuring disclosure is made in a timely and efficient manner.

– Principle 6 Respect the rights of shareholders

The Company recognises the importance of enhancing its relationship with investors by: communicating effectively; providing ready access to clear and balanced information about the Company; and encouraging participation at Annual General Meetings.

– Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk

Risk management and compliance

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.

28

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

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 three 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 business executives have accountability for the risks within their divisions with oversight, analysis, monitoring and reporting of these risks by an independent senior manager. The risk framework and policies are developed and approved by management and reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. Senior management provide reporting to the Audit Committee on the effectiveness of management controls for material business risks.

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 Group'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 KPI’s of both a financial and non-financial nature.

Assurance

The CEO and CFO (or equivalent) 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.

This assurance forms part of the process by which the Board determines the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control systems in relation to financial reporting risks.

The Company’s “Risk Management Policy” is available on the Company’s website.

– Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Board Remuneration Committee

The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee. This Committee’s Charter, which is available on the Company’s website, includes reviewing and recommending to the Board on:

  • the remuneration and incentives of senior management in light of company goals and objectives;

  • superannuation arrangements;

  • the remuneration framework for directors; and

  • remuneration by gender

In accordance with its Charter, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee must have at least three members. Owing to the size of the Board and the fact that there is only one independent director, it is not possible for the majority of the Audit Committee to comprise of independent directors.

For a full discussion of the Company's remuneration philosophy and framework and the remuneration received by directors and executives in the current period please refer to the remuneration report, which is contained within the Directors' Report.

(1) The cash flows of the Group include those arising within the RMT special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and have a significant effect on the interpretation of the Group’s operating cash flows. These cash flows are not available for the use of shareholders. The RMT SPV’s generated negative operating cashflows of $1,720,000 (2011: negative $2,627,000) during the financial year. Therefore, if RMT had not been consolidated, total Group operating cashflow would have been $8,268,000 (2011: $6,779,000.)

The Company has adopted the ASIC Class Order 10/654, which allows companies presenting consolidated financial statements to also present parent entity financial statements.

For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

(b) Statement of compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. From 1 July 2011, the Group has adopted all the Standards and Interpretations mandatory for annual periods beginning on or before 1 July 2011. Adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group. The Group has not elected to early adopt any new or amended Standards or Interpretations issued but not yet effective.

However, the IASB has deferred the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with early application permitted.

(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 Group).

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another 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 obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

(d) Business combinations

Business combinations (pre 1 July 2009)

The purchase method of accounting was used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

Business combinations (post 1 July 2009)

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

39

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

(e) 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 Group 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 Statement of Financial Position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’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 Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investment in the associate. The consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate.

Where there has been a change recognised directly in the associate’s equity, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this in other comprehensive income. The cumulative movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.

Any disposal of an investment in the associate is recognised through the Statement of Comprehensive Income, after taking the carrying value of the investment on disposal date and any expenses directly attributable into account.

(f) 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.

Operating lease incentives are recognised as a liability when received and subsequently reduced by allocating lease payments between rental expenses and reduction of liability.

Finance leases

Leases which effectively transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the Group 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.

(g) 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.

40

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

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.

(h) Intangibles

Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis. A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows:

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

(i) Share-based payment transactions

The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) and to business partners of the Group 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 employees.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees and business partners 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 entity, 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.

41

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

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 Group did not have on issue any options attaching market based performance conditions.

(j) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the amount received or receivable 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.

  • The group also receives trailing commissions from lenders on loans originated by Homeloans on behalf of those lenders. The trailing commissions are received over the life of the loans based on the loan book balance outstanding. The group also makes trailing commission payments to brokers and commissioned staff based on the loan book balance outstanding.

Upon settling loans, the fair value of the future trailing commission receivable is recognised as revenue for the services provided.This represents the expected future trailing commissions receivable under the origination and management agreement, less ongoing servicing costs not covered by transaction fees, discounted to their net present value. The trailing commission revenue is recognised upon settlement as the services to earn that revenue are principally performed upfront by Homeloans. In addition, the fair value of the trailing commission expense is also recognised. This represents the expected future trailing commissions payable to brokers and commissioned staff discounted to their net present value.

  • Homeloans receives additional and separate fees for transactional services performed over the life of the loan. This fee revenue is recognised as the services are being provided.

- Origination of Non managed Loans

  • The group receives trailing commissions from lenders on settled loans over the life of the loan based on the loan book balance outstanding to which the Group is entitled to without having to perform further services. The group makes trailing commission payments to brokers and commission staff based on the loan book balance outstanding.

Upon settling loans (for the reasons noted above), the fair value of the future trailing commission receivable is recognised as revenue for the services provided.This represents the expected future trailing commissions receivable discounted to their net present value. The fair value of the trailing commission expense to brokers and commissioned staff is also recognised, being the future trailing commissions payable discounted to their net present value.

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.

42

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

(k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e. an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash on hand and in banks and short-term deposits in the Statement of Financial Position 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 Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(m) Receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at an operating unit level. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment allowance is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable.

Future trailing commissions receivable represents the net present value of the expected future trailing income receivable under the origination and management agreement, less ongoing servicing costs not covered by transaction fees.

Subsequent to initial recognition and measurement, the trailing commissions receivable are measured at amortised cost. The carrying amount of the trailing commissions receivable is 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 effective interest rates. The resulting adjustment is recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(n) De-recognition of financial instruments

The de-recognition of a financial instrument takes place when the Group 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 Group utilise special purpose vehicles (SPV), which issues securities to investors. These SPV meet the criteria – of being controlled entities under AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. These transactions do not meet the criteria under AASB 139 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement with respect to the de-recognition of financial instruments. Accordingly, the value of the securitised loans has been recorded in the Statement of Financial Position with the related interest earned and interest paid recognised through the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(o) Recoverable amount of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group 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.

(p) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

43

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

(q) Recoverable amount of financial assets

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

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 original effective rate determined under the contract. 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 Group 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.

(r) Loans and advances

All loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs.

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.

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. This assessment is undertaken on each loan that is greater than 90 days past due and considers the level of expected future cashflows compared to the carrying amount of each loan.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and other receivables has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the expected future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred), discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

The Group has individually assessed provisions and collectively assessed provisions. Individually assessed provisions are made against loans and advances.

Individually significant provisions are assessed as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

All other loans and receivables that do not have an individually assessed provision are assessed collectively for impairment.

Collective provisions are maintained to reduce the carrying amount of the portfolios of similar loans and receivables to their estimated recoverable amounts at the balance date.

The expected future cash flows for portfolios of assets with similar risk characteristics are estimated on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the period that do not currently exist. Increases or decreases in the provision amount are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

All RMT loans are covered by Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

(s) Plant and equipment

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 3 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period the item is derecognised.

(t) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost due their short term nature and are not discounted.

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.

Future trailing commission payable represents the net present value of the expected future trailing commission payable.

The trailing commission payable is measured at amortised cost. The carrying amount of the commission payable is 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 rates. The resulting adjustment is recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(u) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs.

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 statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised and also as well as through the amortisation process.

(v) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

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

(w) Taxes

Income tax

Income tax on the statement of comprehensive income for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.

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 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 date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Tax consolidation legislation

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

The head entity, Homeloans Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Homeloans Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Asset or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group. Details of the tax funding agreement are disclosed in Note 5.

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

(x) 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 payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

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.

(y) Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets held for trading, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity 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 held for trading, directly attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group 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 held for trading

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-tomaturity when the Group 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 de-recognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

(z) Derivative financial instruments

The Group 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. These derivatives are classified as held for trading. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

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

(aa) 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 due 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 benefits expenses arise 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.

Employee incentive payments are paid and/or recognised as follows:

Executive staff – Incentive payments are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation at the balance sheet date and determined based on individual performance in relation to specific KPI’s as well as performance of the company in relation to company wide targets and/or the budget. The Group recognises an expense when the incentive payment can be quantified with some certainty.

(bb) 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);

  • 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.

(cc) Issued Capital

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 judgments, estimates and assumptions

Significant accounting judgments

In the process of applying the group’s accounting policies, management has made judgments involving estimations, which have had an impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

Consolidation of SPVs

– The Group has decided that the RMT SPVs meet the criteria of being controlled entities under AASB 127 Consolidated and separate financial statements. The SPVs do not meet the criteria for de-recognition of financial instruments. Accordingly it has been judged that the value of the securitised loans and corresponding liabilities be recorded in the Statement of Financial Position using the effective interest method with the related interest earned and interest paid recognised through the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Recognition of future trailing commission receivable

The recognition of the future trailing commission receivable on the Statement of Financial Position is an area of judgment due to the different recognition criteria existing within the accounting standards. This position will continue to be monitored in future accounting periods having regard to developments in the relevant accounting standards.In this respect, the Directors believe the accounting treatment adopted by the Group is consistent with the applicable accounting standards and is consistent with the treatment adopted in the prior year and by similar industry participants. The unrealised profit before tax resulting from the movement in future trailing commission assets and liabilities for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 was $1,954,000 (2011: $1,469,000)

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 Group 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 17.

Impairment losses on loans and advances

The Group reviews its loans and advances at each reporting date to assess whether an allowance should be recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the level of allowance required. Such estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance.

Future trailing commissions receivable and future trailing commissions payable.

The Group receives trailing commissions from lenders on settled loans over the life of the loan based on the loan book balance outstanding to which the Group is entitled. The Group also makes trailing commission payments to introducers based on the loan book balance outstanding.

The fair value of trailing commissions receivable and the corresponding payable to introducers is determined by using the discounted cash flow valuation technique. These calculations require the use of assumptions. The key assumptions underlying the fair value calculation of trailing commissions receivable and the corresponding payable to introducers during the year include the prepayment rate and the discount rate. These assumptions are determined by management as follows:

Year ended 30 June 2012
Year ended 30 June 2011
Weighted average loan life
Discount rate
4 years and 3 months
3 years and 9 months
12.0%
12.0%

Some changes were made to the prepayment rates during the period. If these changes had not been made, the net profit before tax result would have been lower by $1,095,000.

A remeasurement of all assets and liabilities using the discounted cash flow valuation technique occurs periodically, usually quarterly but must be completed at each reporting date.

There are a number of parameters that affect these calculations

  • Loan balance

  • Prepayment rate

Each of these parameters can change over time and therefore regular revaluations are required, incorporating up to date assumptions for these parameters, to reflect the true value of the discounted assets and liabilities.

(ee) Comparatives

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation and disclosure requirements.

Note 3: OPERATING SEGMENTS

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal management reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by the Board of Directors, in conjunction with management, based on the nature of the products and services provided, the nature in which they are organised and managed and the markets to which they serve.

Types of products and services

Origination and management

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, with the origination and management segment continuing the ongoing management of the loans after they are processed and settled.

Securitisation of mortgages

The securitisation of mortgages segment is the Group’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.

Accounting policies and inter-segment transactions

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally, and in accounting for transactions between reportable segments, are the same as those contained in note 2 to the accounts and in the prior period except as detailed below:

Corporate charges

Corporate charges comprise those operating expenses which are managed and charged centrally. Corporate charges are allocated to each business segment on a proportionate basis linked to origination activity and loan portfolio balances so as to determine a segmental result.

The following item is not allocated to operating segments as it is not considered part of the core operations of any segment:

  • Income tax

(1) Impairment – loans and advances

An allowance for impairment is maintained against the mortgage loan receivables within the RMT Special Purpose Vehicles. In the current financial year, an impairment loss of $167,000 has been recognised which represents amounts written off during the year. In the 2011 financial year, an impairment gain of $533,000 was recognised and was measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the loan and the value of expected future cash flows, adjusted for insurance recoveries. Refer to Note 13 for further disclosure on allowance for impairment (loss)/gain.

(2) Gain on derivative financial liability classified as held for trading is included under Note (d) ‘Interest expense’.

(3) Gain on loans and advances recognised at amortised cost

The gain of $416,000 (2011: $594,000) in loans and advances recognised at amortised cost reflects a re-estimation of cash flows to be generated from the loans within the RMT SPV’s using the original effective interest rate.

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 arrangement in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly-owned subsidiaries on a pro-rata basis. 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. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement on the basis that the possibility of default is remote.

Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group

The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. The current and deferred tax amounts are measured in a systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes. The nature of the tax funding agreement is set out below.

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

57

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Nature of the tax funding agreement

Members of the Group have entered into a tax funding agreement. Under the funding agreement the allocation of tax within the Group is based on a group allocation. The tax funding agreement requires payments to/from the head entity to be recognised via an inter-entity receivable (payable) which is at call.

The allocation of taxes under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase or decrease in the subsidiaries’ intercompany accounts with the tax consolidated group head company, Homeloans Limited. The amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practical after the end of each financial year.

Tax consolidation contributions/distribution

Homeloans has recognised the following amounts as tax consolidation adjustments:

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 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 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 options into ordinary shares.

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

During the period between the reporting date and the date of completion of the financial statements, no shares have been issued as a result of options being exercised. There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares that would significantly change the number of ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares outstanding between the reporting date and the date of completion of these financial statements.

Note 12: BUSINESS COMBINATION

On 8[th] June 2012, the Group acquired the rights to the loan book and copies of all records of the business of Refund Home Loans Pty Ltd (Administrator Appointed) (“Refund”) for a total cash consideration of $2,950,000. The acquisition presents a strong opportunity for the Group to expand its distribution footprint and brand presence through the network of Refund’s loan writers who have entered into agreements to become Homeloans-branded brokers.

As the acquisition was made close to year end, the Group has left the acquisition accounting open pending further adjustment to the fair values of net assets acquired. The initial accounting for the combination will be finalised within the next financial year. The provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Refund as at the date of acquisition were detailed as follows:

Other financial assets - trailing commissions receivable
Other financial liabilities - trailing commissions payable

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

From the date of acquisition the contribution of Refund to the revenue and net profit before tax of the group was not material given the timing of the acquisition was so near to year end. It is not possible to quantify the impact that the acquisition of the business from Refund would have had on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income had it occurred at the beginning of the reporting period as Refund was under administration during this period and separate books and records were not available.

The goodwill arising on consolidation is attributable to various factors including the value of synergies and the assembled sales force.

In a separate transaction, certain Refund loan writers entered into broker agreements with Homeloans. Under the terms of these agreements, brokers are entitled to contingent payments due and payable by 31 January 2013 and 31 January 2014, upon the achievement of specified volume targets. These contingent payments have not been included in the cost of the business combination as management has assessed that the payments are of the nature of a future volume bonus and therefore do not form part of the acquisition costs.

Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition costs of $292,000 related to external success fees and legal and other administration fees included under Operating expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

An allowance for impairment is maintained against the mortgage loan receivables within the RMT Special Purpose Vehicles. The allowance for impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the loan and the value of expected future cash flows, adjusted for insurance recoveries.

Payment terms of these loans have not been re-negotiated however credit has been stopped until payment is made. The Company has been in direct contact with relevant borrowers. It should be noted that all RMT loans are secured by a first ranking mortgage over the residential property and are covered 100% by Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). Expected recoverable amounts are adjusted to reflect lower than 100% LMI recovery due to operational risks and are also reduced by the amount of higher rate (penalty) interest and fees related to loans in arrears which are not covered by LMI.

Loans with payments outstanding less than one month are more likely to be of a one off nature and are generally – rectified by the borrower within a short period of time i.e. within the same month. Loans in this category are less likely to be representative of loans with underlying repayment problems.

The following table summarises loans past due and impaired. The impairment loss, which has been determined based on an individual assessment of impaired loans, represents the carrying amount of the loans net of the value of future cash flows, adjusted for insurance recoveries (referred to in the table as “Expected recoverable amount”). The assessment of expected future cash flows includes such considerations as the specific circumstances of the borrower, the realisable value of security and expected insurance recoveries.

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

  • Origination and Management

  • Securitisation of Mortgages

Origination and Management

The recoverable amount of the Origination and Management Cash Generating Unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation. To calculate this, cash flow projections are based on financial budgets, approved by senior management covering a period of ten years. The ten year period has been used as it provides a better indication of business performance given the market in which the segment operates and is supported by historical mortgage market growth. The business’ financial budgets and forecasts are also modeled from 10 year forecasts.

66

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

The assumed growth rate in settled loans over the period covered by the forecast is on average 10% (2011: 8%). The projected growth rate used reflects long term market averages as well as the business’ projections of its own expected performance. Loan repayment rates range from 12% to 32% depending on types of loans and lenders (2011: 14% to 30%) and are based on actual experience. A terminal value of 8 times (2011: 8 times) was used for cash flows beyond 10 years reflecting industry averages.

The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 12.5% (2011:12.5%) and is based on average discount rates for comparable businesses in the industry.

Securitisation of Mortgages

The total amount of goodwill allocated to the Securitisation of Mortgages Cash Generating Unit was written down to zero as at 30 June 2012.

Key assumptions used in the value in use calculation for the Origination and Management Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) for 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011

The following describes each key assumption other than those described above on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining the value in use of the Origination and Management CGU:

  • Inflation – constant 3% per annum (2011: 3%) based on long-term expectations on inflation and is reviewed annually for changes in the market environment.

  • Securitisation of Mortgages CGU pays to the Origination and Management CGU a management fee representing services provided by the latter to the Securitisation of Mortgages CGU. The management fee represents a portion of the total costs incurred by the Origination and Management CGU in undertaking certain relevant tasks and is calculated on a proportionate basis linked to origination activity and loan portfolio balances.

  • A degree of reduction in the level of commission rates earned and paid as a result of market and competition driven influences.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

Origination and Management

With regard to the assessment of the value in use of the Origination and Management CGU, the most sensitive assumption used in the cash flow projections is the assumed growth rate in settled loans over the forecast period. Given the recoverable amount of this unit at reporting date is considerably greater than its written down carrying value, management believes that reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions, such as a reduction in the average growth rate from 10% to 8% would not cause the recoverable amount of the unit to fall short of its carrying value.

Terms and conditions relating to the above financial instruments:

(1) The Company has a bank overdraft of $900,000 which is not utilised at year end. The bank overdraft is repayable on demand. Interest is charged at the bank’s floating rate. The overdraft is secured by way of registered first mortgages over all assets and undertakings of the Company and its controlled entities

(2) The warehouse facility incurs interest at the bank bill rate plus a margin. The facility is secured by the assets of the warehouse trust. Interest is recognised at an effective rate 5.88% (2011: 6.21%). All loans funded by the RMT program are secured by a first ranking mortgage over a residential property and are 100% mortgage insured. The mortgage insurers must be rated at least A+ by Standard & Poor’s and A1 by Moody’s. The RMT Warehouse facility is a rolling 12 month facility provided by Westpac Banking Corporation (“WBC”). WBC also act as the Liquidity, Redraw and Interest Rate Swap Provider to all RMT trusts. FAI First Mortgage Pty Ltd (“FAIFM”) is the Trust Manager and Servicer to all RMT trusts.

Homeloans Limited-Annual Report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

The RMT warehouse has been extended for a further 12 months to 30 June 2013. The terms of the extension, which is effective from July 2012, includes an increase in the funding margin payable to the warehouse provider. The warehouse limit was reduced to $250,000,000 in April 2012 (the limit as at 30 June 2011 was $350,000,000). The RMT warehouse facility is supported by cash collateral reserves. The amount required to be held in cash collateral reserves is determined as the greater of: 50% of the balance of loans greater than 30 days past due over and above a threshold of 3.00%; and a floor of 0.70% of the total balance of loans in the Warehouse.

The warehouse terms continue to require the long term rating of the mortgage insurers in respect of the loans in the warehouse to be at least A+ by Standard & Poor’s and A1 by Moody’s. In the event the ratings are downgraded below these levels, the Company has a reasonable period of time to agree a satisfactory arrangement with the warehouse provider.

  • (3) Residential Mortgage Backed Securities with a legal final maturity of 32 years from issue, and an expected maturity of at least 5 years. Interest is recognised at an effective rate 4.65% (2011: 4.98%).

  • (4) Some of the funders used by the company and its controlled entities provide payment of an upfront commission at the point of origination of a mortgage loan. A portion of this upfront commission is then paid back via reduced ongoing management fees over a period of 5 years. Interest is also charged on this facility. The company recognises the upfront commission from these funders as a loan. The principal and interest will be paid back over the 5 year period. Interest is recognised at an effective rate of 6.47% (2011: 6.13%)

Derivative financial liability classified as held for trading(1) 201 206 - -

(1) The Group uses interest rate swaps for interest risk management purposes. Some of the loans and advances within the RMT SPV’s have fixed interest rates. In order to protect against rising interest rates, the Group has entered into fixed interest swap contracts under which it has right to receive interest at a variable rate and to pay interest at fixed rates. The swaps are used as an effective alternative to physical assets in order to achieve a desired level of total exposure and as a means to manage interest rate risk.

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

Level 1 — the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 — the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3 — the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The derivative financial liabilities are the only financial instruments carried at fair value and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year.

The table below sets out the effective exposure values of the derivatives underlying assets, which provides an indication of the Group’s exposure to derivatives. The fair value of ($201,000) (2011: ($206,000)) gives no indication of the ultimate gain or loss that will occur upon settlement of the derivatives as that is dependent upon the applicable market interest rate at the time of settlement.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue capital securities or perform share buybacks.

The Company is also subject to an externally imposed capital requirement by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC). In accordance with Condition 4 of the Company’s Australian Financial Services Licence, it must (a) be able to pay all its debts as and when they become due and payable; (b) have total assets that exceed total liabilities; (c) have no reason to suspect that its total assets would not exceed its total liabilities; and (d) demonstrate, based on cashflow projections, that it will have access to sufficient financial resources to meet its short term liabilities. The Company complied with this requirement for both the year ended 30 June 2012 and the year ended 30 June 2011.

The employee option reserve recognises the fair value of options issued to employees and other related parties as remuneration. It applies to all share-based payments issued after 7 November 2002, which had not vested as at 1 January 2005. The option value is calculated using a Binomial model and expensed over the period in which the options vest. The value allocated to each option issue is determined, among other things, by reference to, the share price at the date of grant, the volatility of the share price, and current risk free interest rates.

Note 26: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group is exposed to financial risks through its financial assets and liabilities comprising cash and cash equivalents, loans and advances, receivables, payables, interest bearing liabilities and fixed to floating interest rate swaps, which arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and prepayment risk. The Group manages these risks in accordance with its risk management policies. The objective of the policies is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risk to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate risk, prepayment risk and assessment of market forecasts for interest rates. Ageing analysis and monitoring of specific credit exposures are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

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 Board reviews the different types of risk the entity is exposed to including those related to commercial and legal, economic circumstance, natural events, regulations, technological and technical issues and risk related to

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

management activities. A number of possible treatment options are proposed by management and reviewed by the Board and an option is chosen to proceed with. A member of the senior management team is then made responsible for its implementation and a process is put in place to monitor and control the risk.

Credit risk exposures

Credit risk is the risk that the group will incur a loss because its customers, clients or counterparties failed to discharge their contractual obligations. The group has established lending policies and procedures to manage the credit risk inherent in lending. The dominant lending focus has been in the housing market where standard lending practice is that the borrowing facilities for each client is mortgaged secured against residential property and via lenders mortgage insurance. In addition, loan balances are monitored with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is monitored and managed. Refer to note 13 for an ageing analysis of the loans.

The Group’s broker division trades with recognised, credit-worthy lending institutions in Australia. The Group’s approach to credit management utilises a credit risk framework to ensure that the following principals are adhered to:

  • Independence from risk originators;

  • Recognition of the different risks in the various Group businesses;

  • Credit exposures are systematically controlled and monitored;

  • Credit exposures are regularly reviewed in accordance with existing credit procedures; and

  • Credit exposures include such exposures arising from derivative transactions.

Each of the divisions is responsible for managing credit risks that arise in their own areas with oversight from a centralised credit risk management team. It is the policy of the Group to monitor the policies of all divisions to ensure that the risk of the Group is monitored.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount, net of any allowance for doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated in the Statement of Financial Position.

Credit exposure by credit rating

The majority of the group cash assets, broking related receivable, future trailing commissions receivable and derivative financial assets are held with Australian banks with a S&P rating of at least “A” and above.

Loans and advances are for residential borrowers, who are not rated. All loans are individually mortgage insured by “AA- / A1” equivalent rated insurers.

Concentration of credit risk

The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to cash, broking related accounts receivable, future trailing commission payable and derivative financial assets by undertaking transactions with a number of investment grade lending institutions. Some agreements with lenders also contain provisions requiring the Group to pay installments 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 Group’s risk in this area is mitigated by insurance policies and a rigorous credit assessment process.

The Group operates in the residential mortgage industry segment and is not materially exposed to any individual borrower.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be able to meet its payment obligations when they fall due under normal and stress circumstances. The Group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and credit facilities to meet its obligations as they fall due. Surplus funds are generally invested in at call bank accounts or instruments with maturities of less than 90 days. Within the RMT SPV’s, the Group also maintains sufficient cash reserves to fund redraws and additional advances on existing loans. As stated in note 20, the Group has unused warehouse facilities at the reporting date. However, given no new loans are being originated via this business segment, the unused facility is not required.

The Group’s Finance department monitors actual and forecast cash flows on a daily basis to ensure that sufficient cash resources and/or financing facilities are in place for the Group to meet its corporate debts and other payment obligations as and when they fall due. The Board receives a summary of actual monthly cashflow movements, together with rolling three month cashflow forecasts, each month. In addition, the Board receives periodic cashflow forecasts over medium and longer term horizons. This information is a key aspect of the Boards strategic planning process to ensure the Group maintains a desirable liquidity position going forward.

The Group’s mortgage loan balances are typically repayable over 25-30 years. In contrast, the Group borrows funds with differing maturity profiles:

Term Bonds payable

Term bonds payable are residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) issued by the Group’s SPV’s. They are 32 year pass through securities that may be repaid early (i.e. at the call date) by the issuer in certain circumstances.

RMT warehouse facility

The RMT warehouse facility is a short term pass through funding facility (typically 12 months) that is renewable annually at the funder’s option.

Going forward, the group is reliant on the renewal/negotiation of the existing warehouse facility or the issuance of new residential mortgage backed securities in order to fund the existing mortgage loans in the RMT SPV. The Group’s warehouse facility has been extended for a further 12 months to 30 June 2013 and there continues to be regular discussions with the warehouse provider as to the future utilisation and maturity of the facility. Developments across the global economy in recent months have again created volatility and a degree of uncertainty within credit markets. It should be noted that the warehouse facility is structured so that in the highly unlikely event it is not renewed or otherwise defaults, there is only limited recourse to the Group. If the warehouse facility is not renewed or otherwise defaults and the related assets are liquidated, the primary impact for the Group would be the loss of future income streams from excess spread, being the difference between the Group’s mortgage rate and the cost of funds and fee income.

The directors are satisfied that in the event of either of these scenarios occurring, the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern will not be affected.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 (CONTINUED)

The above liquidity profile is based on the period from reporting date to contractual maturity date based on expected principal receipts from mortgage loans. The amounts disclosed in the tables are undiscounted cash flows based on the earliest date at which repayment is required. It should be noted that in the case of the RMT warehouse facility and term bonds, funding is arranged on a pass through basis and therefore there is an element of principal amortisation in each of these funding facilities prior to repayment. The expected principal pass through to the funders shown above is based on the expected principal receipts from mortgage loans. Calculations of expected principal receipts on mortgage loans have been derived using prepayment assumptions based on actual experience.

In the case of the warehouse facility, the above maturity profile reflects the contractual maturity date effective at reporting date. In the case of bonds, the maturity profile assumes that the issuer (i.e. the group’s SPV) will not opt to repay the securities at the call date, but rather, that they will be repaid at their respective maturity dates.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk to the Group’s earnings and equity arising from movements in interest rates, including changes in the absolute levels of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the margin between the yield curve and the volatility of the interest rates.

It is the group’s policy to minimise the impact of interest rate movements on our debt servicing capacity, Group profitability, business requirements and company valuation.

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from mortgage loans, cash deposits and interest bearing liabilities. The vast majority of the Group’s borrowings are issued at variable rates and expose the Group to interest rate risk. Mortgage loans that are written at variable rates and cash deposits also expose the Group to interest rate risk, however the risk is naturally hedged by the variable rate borrowings.

The impact of a rising/falling BBSW benchmark over the Reserve Bank of Australia’s target cash rate can have a significant increase/decrease in the cost of funding and therefore on the net spread earned on the mortgages funded in the RMT Trusts. In the event of a sustained differential to the benchmark, the Group actively manages this exposure by adjusting the interest rate charged to borrowers.

Mortgages written at fixed interest rates are managed with interest rate swaps to match the borrowings used to fund the mortgages. It is a policy of the Group to utilise swaps to manage interest rate risk for 100% of the outstanding balance of fixed rate loans.

The Group’s objective is to minimise exposure to adverse risk and therefore continuously analyses its interest rate exposure. The Group’s Finance department also monitors actual and forecast interest rate information and incorporates this data into the Group’s financial forecasts that are prepared on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

The sensitivity to movements in interest rates in relation to the value of the interest bearing financial assets and liabilities is shown in the table below with all other variables held constant and assuming that interest rate changes are passed on. The change in basis points is derived from a review of historical movements.

The risks faced and methods used in the sensitivity analysis did not change from the previous period. As shown above, a 100bps movement in interest rate risk would have minimal impact on the consolidated Group’s financial position.

Prepayment risk

Prepayment risk is the risk that the Group will incur a financial loss because its customers repay earlier than expected, which results in adverse movements in the future trailing commissions receivable and future trailing commissions payable. Refer to note 14 and note 21 for exposure at the balance date. The group monitors the prepayment rates on a monthly basis and modifies its valuation model input when the trends are established.

The consolidated Group’s sensitivity to movements in prepayment rates in relation to the value of the financial assets and liabilities is shown in the table below with all other variables held constant. The change is derived from a review of historical movements.

Fair values

Set out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Group’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, loans and advances, other financial assets, 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.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Homeloans Limited

Report on the financial report

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

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(b) the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's responsibility

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

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

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • a. the financial report of Homeloans Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • i giving a true and fair view of the company's and consolidated entity's financial positions as at 30 June 2012 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • ii complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and

  • b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2(b).

Report on the remuneration report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2012. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Homeloans Limited for the year ended 30 June 2012, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
