Chairman’s Report

Dear shareholder

Wentworth has undergone significant change over the past 12 months.

As announced in October 2011, the Wentworth Board undertook a strategic review of the business in the preceding 12 months which saw it actively explore a number of opportunities to grow the property management business and expand into related business sectors. In considering various opportunities, the Board was very conscious of undertaking any activity that created additional risk to the business. Concurrently, the Board undertook a review of the business and its assets which involved the examination of both growth and asset sale scenarios.

The strategic review concluded that the current businesses and associated assets would be best operated outside the listed public company domain. A sub committee of the Board was convened and the business and assets discretely marketed for sale.

After due consideration, the Board concluded (subject to shareholder approval), an offer made by Combined Rental Pty Ltd, a company associated with Mr Charles Tarbey (former Executive Director), was the most attractive in terms of value and risk and was in the best interests of shareholders. The key aspects to the offer were:

  • Sale price of $18.7 million for the acquisition of certain Wentworth Group controlled entities that held all rent roll assets and selected other assets and liabilities. $16.9 million was to be paid on completion with a further, up to $1.8 million deferred consideration, within 12 months.

The sale price valued Wentworth at significantly above its current book and market value.

  • Assumption of all employees and associated liabilities and premises by the purchaser.

  • No retention period on rent rolls assets sold.

  • Wentworth repaid Macquarie Bank debt (circa $3.5 million).

This transaction was approved by shareholder on 15 December 2011 and completed 23 December 2011.

The 6 months following completion of the rent roll divestment transaction were spent actively working to identify a new undertaking for the company. Whilst the Board remains flexible in reviewing business opportunities, we are conscious of the responsibility to shareholders in identifying an appropriate business that would be well received by the broader investment community. This process involved meeting with approximately 50 potential investees/contacts to source investments.

In the course of this activity, against a background of continuing economic uncertainty, it became apparent:

  • There were limited quality businesses suitable for Wentworth.

  • Quality businesses considered by Wentworth were typically at above market valuations and therefore deemed too expensive, particularly given the economic outlook.

  • There were and are opportunities to invest in entities (both listed and unlisted) at attractive valuations that would likely provide more reliable longer term returns (capital and income) and less volatility through diversification.

On the basis on the above, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, it was proposed that Wentworth change its main undertaking to that of an Investment Company. This was approved by shareholders on 6 August 2012.

As an Investment Company, Wentworth aim to provide investors the opportunity to invest in a portfolio of investments assembled through the application of a defined investment process using the experience of an Investment Committee. The Company will predominantly invest in a combination of ASX listed securities, unlisted entities and debt instruments. Where appropriate investments cannot be identified, available funds will be invested in cash. The Company will focus on absolute performance concerning its investments.

We have continued to operate an on market share buy back, acquiring over 3 million shares (cost: circa $0.2 million) to date, representing over 1% of the company’s issued capital.

As at the date of this report, we are extremely well positioned with circa $14 million cash, no debt and net tangible assets of circa $15 million or 6.6 cents per share.

I would like to personally thank my fellow board members, Wentworth employees and all shareholders for their support during the year.

Indemnification and Insurance of Directors, Officers and Auditors

The constitution of the Company provides that the Company may indemnify each officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company against any liability for costs and expenses incurred in defending any proceedings against them and for any liability incurred, unless the liability arises out of a lack of good faith.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.

During the financial year, the Company paid insurance premiums for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in respect of all directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Company elects, for commercial reasons, not to disclose the terms and conditions of the policy or disclosure of amounts of premium paid.

Principal Activities

The principal activities of Wentworth during the financial year were Real Estate Sales and Property Management in Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. On 23 December 2011 the company divested its main undertaking to Combined Rentals Pty Limited, an entity associated with Mr Charles Tarbey, for $18.704 million.

Review of Operations/changes in state of affairs

Wentworth’s full year profit after tax is $2.592 million (2011: $0.476 million) for the year ended 30 June 2012. Net assets at 30 June 2012 were $14.723 million (2011: $12.233 million) sourced from the above result, after allowing for a share buy back programme. Total liabilities at 30 June 2012 were $0.168 million (2011: $6.134 million), reduced throughout the year from operating cash flow and proceeds from the rent roll divestment. Bank debt was reduced by $3.690 million and was $nil at 30 June 2012.

Wentworth continued an on market share buy back programme, acquiring circa 2.785 million shares during the year ended 30 June 2012 (cost: $0.161 million) representing over 1% of the company’s issued capital.

Resources and operations

Following the abovementioned roll divestment, Wentworth has no (2011: 123) employees at 30 June 2012.

Directors’ Report (continued)

Review of Operations/changes in state of affairs (continued)

Dividends

No dividend was declared for the year ended 30 June 2012. (2011: 0.5 cents per share (unfranked) totaling $1.132 million).

Future performance

Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the consolidated Group in future financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated Group. Accordingly, this information has not been disclosed.

Funding and capital structure

The consolidated Group had no bank debt. Cash at bank was $13.937 million at 30 June 2012.

Business strategy and outlook, likely developments and expected results of operations

As previously announced, on 23 December 2011, the company divested its main undertaking to Combined Rentals Pty Limited, an entity associated with Mr Charles Tarbey, for $18.704 million.

Following completion of the rent roll divestment transaction, the company has sought out a new undertaking. This process involved meeting with approximately 50 potential investees/contacts to source investments.

In the course of this activity, against a background of continuing economic uncertainty, it became apparent:

  • There were limited quality businesses suitable for Wentworth.

  • Quality businesses considered by Wentworth were typically at above market valuations and therefore deemed too expensive, particularly given the economic outlook.

  • There were and are opportunities to invest in entities (both listed and unlisted) at attractive valuations that would likely provide more reliable longer term returns (capital and income) and less volatility through diversification.

On the basis of the above, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, it was proposed that Wentworth change its main undertaking to that of an investment company. This was approved by shareholders on 6 August 2012.

Given the change of undertaking has been a recent event, the Company is not in a position at this stage to provide any guidance concerning future expected earnings.

Events Subsequent to Balance Date

On 6 August 2012, a change in the company’s main undertaking to that of an investment company was approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 28 September 2012.

Aside from the above, there has not been any other matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated Group in future financial years.

Share Options

Refer below for details regarding other share options on issue as at the date of this report as well as any movements during the year.

The exercise of only a portion of the Options held does not affect the holder’s right to exercise the balance of any Options remaining;

  • all shares issued on exercise of the Options will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s then issued shares. These Options will be unlisted; and

  • the Options are not transferable.

Remuneration - General

Wentworth’s compensation policy for Executives

The Board, through the establishment of a Remuneration Committee, develop and approve the Remuneration Policy for the Company. The Company aims to pay market-competitive compensation packages made up of a base salary (fixed) – this includes cash, superannuation, leave loading, other salary sacrifice items and Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and performance based compensation. This is generally positioned at market median against comparable industry peers on the basis of annual benchmarking. The objective of the compensation policy is to ensure that reward for performance is market-competitive, appropriate to the results delivered and aligned with stakeholder interests. Base salaries are reviewed annually, although they may also be reviewed on promotion.

The Company does not have a policy concerning KMP limiting their exposure to risk regarding the Company’s securities.

Remuneration – Non-Executive Directors

The Board has adopted a policy to ensure that remuneration packages for Non-Executive Directors are transparent and easily explained while at the same time enabling the Board to attract and retain the highest quality candidates, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

The maximum remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is to be determined by Shareholders at a General Meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. At present, the maximum aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is $200,000 per annum, which is reviewed annually. The total remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors was $81,750 (2011: $80,216) based on the financial performance of the consolidated Group.

The Board may award additional remuneration to Non-Executive Directors called upon to perform extra services or make special exertions on behalf of the Company.

The consolidated Group aims to pay market-competitive compensation packages made up of a fixed base salary (includes cash, superannuation, leave loading), other salary sacrifice items, Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and bonuses, generally positioned at market median against comparable industry peers on the basis of annual benchmarking. Bonuses are paid to encourage behaviours and performance that will contribute to the consolidated Group’s profits and are congruent with the aim to maximise shareholder wealth.

The compensation policy objective is to ensure that reward for performance is market-competitive, appropriate to the results delivered and aligned with stakeholder interests. Base salaries are reviewed annually, although they may also be reviewed on promotion.

Corporate Governance Statement

This statement provides an outline of the main corporate governance practices Wentworth Holdings Limited (the ‘Company’) has in place and provides disclosure to the extent recommended by the Australian Stock Exchange (the ‘ASX’) in accordance with its Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations (the ‘ASX Guidelines’). Where the Company has adopted a practice that differs from the ASX Guidelines, disclosure is made of the Company’s practice and how that practice embraces the ASX Guidelines

The Board are committed to conducting the company’s business ethically and in accordance with high standards of corporate governance. The Board (and company management) regularly review company policies, practices and procedures, particularly concerning corporate governance.

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The Board of Directors (the ‘Board’) of the Company is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company and the Company’s overall business performance. The Board sets the strategic direction of the Company and, through the Executive Director and senior management, have oversight of and monitor the implementation and progression by the Company of that strategic direction.

The Board has delegated to the Executive Director and senior management, responsibility for the management of the daily operations of the business of the Company. The Board meet at least monthly when, inter alia, the Executive Director reports on the Company operations. The Board has a Charter that details the responsibilities of the Board, the Executive Director and those responsibilities specific to the Chairman.

Any authority that has not been expressly delegated by the Board to the Executive Director, senior management or another delegate is reserved for the Board. The Board reviews the distribution of authority between itself and management regularly to ensure that there is an appropriate balance of authority relevant to the requirements of the Company.

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value

Principle 2: Structure the board Principle 2: Structure the board to add value
The Board comprises the following individuals:
Name Position Name Position
Vaughan Webber Non-Executive Chairman Hugh Robertson Non-Executive Director
Nigel Sharp Non- Executive Director Colin Cowden Non –Executive Director
Charles Tarbey Executive Director (resigned 23 December 2011)

The Board considers the Non-Executive Chairman and the three (3) Non-Executive Directors are independent of management and are able to manage any conflict arising from any external relationship that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with their exercise of independent and unfettered judgment.

Election of Board members is achieved by the Company’s shareholders at a General Meeting in accordance with the Company’s constitution. Specifically, currently, each director retires after two (2) years in office and must seek re-election from shareholders if they wish to continue in office.

The Company is committed to the following principles:

  • A Board comprised of directors with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the Company and its business; and

  • The principal criterion for the appointment of new directors being their ability to add value to the Company and its business.

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each director who is in office at the date of the annual report and their term of office are detailed in the directors’ report and are considered appropriate by the Board for the Company.

The Board has a Nomination Committee and an approved Charter for the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee has a Board approved policy concerning processes and procedure for selecting and recommending to the Board the appointment of NonExecutive Directors, the Executive Director and senior management. The Nomination Committee comprises Vaughan Webber (Chairman), Hugh Robertson, Colin Cowden and Charles Tarbey (resigned 23 December 2011). Attendance by members at meetings of the committee is included in the directors’ report.

Each director may obtain independent professional advice at the expense of the Company on matters arising in the course of their Board duties. The payment for the cost of the advice by the Company is subject to the approval of the Chairman, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of an appropriate Code of Conduct to provide guidance to directors, senior management and all staff. The key purpose of the Code of Conduct is to maintain the Company’s integrity, to set the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating unethical practices and to achieve compliance with legal and other obligations and to then report to legitimate stakeholders.

The Board adopts a formal Code of Conduct, Share Trading Rules and a Conflict of Interest Policy. These codes, rules and policies apply to each all key management personnel and prohibit key management personnel from acquiring or disposing of shares in the Company whilst in the possession of information which is market sensitive and not publicly available.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making (continued)

DIVERSITY

The Company recognises the value contributed by employing people with varying skills, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience and believes its diverse workforce is the key to its continued growth, improved productivity and performance.

The company actively values and embraces the diversity of our employees and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and fairly and where, discrimination, harassment and inequity are not tolerated. Whilst Wentworth is committed to fostering diversity at all levels, gender diversity has been and continues to be a priority.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

The Executive Director and the Chief Financial Officer make the following certifications to the Board:

  • that the Company’s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial condition and operational results of the Company and the consolidated Group and are in accordance with relevant legislation and accounting standards;

  • that the Company has adopted an appropriate system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board; and

  • that the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and controls are operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

The Board has an Audit and Risk Committee and an approved Audit and Risk Committee Charter. The Audit and Risk Committee comprises Hugh Robertson (Chairman) and Colin Cowden and Vaughan Webber. The Audit and Risk Committee recommends candidates for appointment as the external auditor of the Company and from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of the external auditor. The attendance at meetings of the committee is included in the directors’ report.

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosures

The Company acknowledges the importance of providing the market with timely, balanced and accurate information to ensure that the market remains efficient, competitive and fully informed. The Board is committed to the enhancement of investor confidence and promotes its commitment by complying with the continuous disclosure rules contained in the Listing Rules of the ASX and with the requirements of the Corporations Act.

The Company adopts a Listing Rules Compliance Policy. This policy contains procedures designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and accountability for compliance.

Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders

The Company keeps its shareholders and the market informed through ASX announcements regarding material developments and the annual and half yearly reports. The Company’s shareholders elect directors at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. The AGM is held in Melbourne, Victoria. Shareholders have the opportunity to express their views, ask questions about Company business and vote on items of business for resolution by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

The Company adopts a Shareholders Communications Policy which aims to promote effective communication with shareholders and encourage their participation at General Meetings.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

As stated above, the Company has an Audit and Risk Committee and an approved Audit and Risk Committee Charter. The collective experience of the Board and senior management enables accurate identification of the principal risks which may affect the Company’s business. These risks are also considered by the Audit and Risk Committee, discussed and methods for management of these risks agreed. In addition, key operational risks and their management, will be advised to the Board and will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists, including controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability of financial information as well as non-financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational performance indicators.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Board again carried out reviews during the year of its own performance in meeting its key responsibilities. The purpose of these reviews is to identify areas of weakness and mechanisms for improving the functioning and performance of the Board and its relationship with management, and to consider progress made towards attaining specific performance objectives. The Board developed and adopted a Performance Evaluation Policy to assist with this review process.

Non-Executive Directors are remunerated by a fixed director’s fee including superannuation, as permitted by the Company’s Constitution. The Executive Director and key management personnel of the Company receive salary, benefits and incentives as part of their remuneration package as detailed in the Directors’ Report. The remuneration of an Executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision making process.

14

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly (continued)

The Board has an established Remuneration Committee and have approved a Remuneration Policy. The Remuneration Committee comprises Vaughan Webber (Chairman), Hugh Robertson, Nigel Sharp and Charles Tarbey (resigned 23 December 2011). The attendance at meetings of the committee is detailed in the directors’ report.

The maximum remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is determined by Shareholders at a General Meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. At present the maximum aggregate remuneration of NonExecutive Directors is $200,000 per annum. The apportionment of non-executive Director Remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each Non-Executive Director. The Board may award additional remuneration to Non-Executive Directors called upon to perform extra services or make special exertions on behalf of the Company. The amount of remuneration for all directors and the five highest paid executives, including all monetary and non-monetary components, are detailed in the directors’ report under the heading Remuneration.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Significant accounting policies

a. Statement of compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report for the year ended 30 June 2012, prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the company is a for-profit entity.

Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the consolidated Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 28 September 2012.

b. Basis of preparation

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

The Company is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012 and comparative information presented.

c. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (‘the consolidated Group’). A controlled entity is an entity the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the consolidated Group. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

d. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the consolidated Group’s accounting policies (described above), management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors, the results of which form the basis for making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Following are key assumptions concerning future and other key sources or estimation uncertainty at the balance date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

i. Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets and receivables

Determining whether goodwill and other intangible assets are impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (CGU). The recoverable amount of each CGU is based on the fair value less selling costs on the basis that the value in use of each CGU is not materially different from its fair value less selling costs. The carrying amount of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets at balance date is $nil (2011: $9.801 million) and $nil (2011: $6.003 million) respectively. Details of the impairment testing and the results thereof are provided at Note 14.

Determining whether receivables are impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of each receivable. The recoverable amount of each receivable is based on the fair value less selling costs on the basis that the value in use of each CGU is not materially different from its fair value less selling costs.

The recoverable amount of Receivables at balance date is $0.780 million (2011: $0.255 million), net of impairment expense of 0.230 million (2011: $0.058 million). Details of the impairment testing and the results thereof are provided at Note 11.

ii. Amortisation of Other Intangible Assets (Property Management Rights) Determining the useful lives of the Other Intangible Assets with finite lives (comprising) requires an estimate of the remaining useful life of each rent roll. The carrying amount of the Other Intangible Assets at balance date is $nil (2011: $6.003 million). Details of the useful lives are provided at Notes 1 (j) (2) and 15.

20

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

iii. Business combinations The balance of the purchase price of each real estate business acquired (net of tangible assets) was allocated between the rent roll intangible asset and goodwill on the following basis:

gible asset and goodwill on the following basis:
Rent Roll Goodwill
Asset
Rent Roll (stand-alone rent rolls) 64% 36%
Real Estate Business (rent roll and sales operation acquired) 22% 78%

Allocations are based on business models prepared by an independent valuer. No acquisitions were made in the past 2 years.

e. Income tax

The current tax expense is based on the result for the year, adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items for income tax purposes for the period, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for the current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method. Temporary differences are differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the balance sheet. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the consolidated Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

As of 1 July 2003, Wentworth Holdings Limited (the head entity) and its 100% owned subsidiaries formed a consolidated Group for Australian taxation purposes. Wentworth Holdings Limited and the 100% owned subsidiaries in the tax consolidated Group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if the entity in the tax consolidated Group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right. The members of the tax consolidated group are identified in Note 17.

As the head entity in the tax consolidated Group, Wentworth Holdings Limited, also recognised 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.

Amounts receivable or payable under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated Group. 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 consolidated entities.

f. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the costs of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earnt on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

g. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and have a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

h. Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due to be settled in advance of the period to which they relate. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the consolidated Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

i. Plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. All plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost of each asset over their estimated useful lives, commencing from the time the assets are held ready for use to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation and are unchanged from the previous financial year:

Plant and equipment ................................... 3 to 10 years Leasehold improvements .................................. 10 years Equipment under finance .................................... 3 years

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

j. Intangibles

1. Goodwill

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisitiondate amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit and loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

2. Property management rights (rent rolls)

Property management rights, acquired as part of business combinations, are capitalised at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets.

AASB 138 ‘Intangible Assets’ requires intangible assets with finite lives to be amortised over their useful lives. The property management rights are expected to have a finite life and are therefore amortised over their useful life.

The useful lives of the property management (rent roll) intangible assets are as follows: Real Estate Business (rent roll and sales operation acquired) 7 years (2011: 7 years) Rent Rolls (stand alone rent rolls) 7 years (2011: 7 years)

The useful life of each rent roll has been estimated based upon the expected attrition rates of the property management rights. These attrition rates are based on historical experience, future expectations and by reference to business models prepared by an independent valuer.

The property management rights are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, either individually or at the cash generating unit level.

3. Derecognition of intangible assets

Gains or losses arising from derecognition 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 the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.

k. Financial instruments

Financial assets

i. Recognition

Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit and loss which are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the Company’s financial statements. Other financial assets are classified into the following categories depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets at the time of recognition and are measured as set out below.

ii. Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables, which are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment.

iii. Available-for-sale financial assets (AFS)

Listed shares held by the consolidated Group which are traded in an active market, are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in the financial asset revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses which are recognised directly in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the financial asset revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for the period.

Dividends received from AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the consolidated Group’s right to receive payment is established.

iv. Impairment

Financial assets, other than those classified as fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment are expected to reduce. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The financial asset carrying amount is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of a separate provision for impairment account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the provision account. Changes in the provision account carrying amount are recognised in profit or loss.

With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, 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 through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed, does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Subsequent increases in fair value after an impairment loss are recognised directly in equity for available-for-sale equity instruments.

v. Valuation methods

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. The following evidence is used to support the fair value of unlisted investments:

• the price of recent arm’s length transactions;

  • the price of transactions of similar instruments sold by a third party;

  • discounted cash flow models; or

  • option pricing models.

  • Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Equity instruments

Ordinary shares are classified as equity and recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the consolidated Group. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of new securities or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation. Interest is recognised as an expense as incurred.

l. Comparative information

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

m. Payables

Payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid.

n. Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased property and operating leases under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the year. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term on a straight line basis.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

o. Employee benefits

i. Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within twelve months of reporting date, are recognised in other payables concerning employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts to be expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulated sick leave is recognised when leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

ii. Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the future cash flows, consideration is given to future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. In calculating the present value, expected future cash outflows are discounted using market yields, as at the balance sheet date, on national government bonds, which have terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimate future cash flows.

iii. Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contributions superannuation plans are expensed when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

p. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount factor used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

q. Revenue

Revenue from property management and real estate sales is recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been delivered and the right to receive the revenue is established, can be reliably measured and it is probable that the revenue will be received.

Interest revenue is accrued as it is earned. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

24

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

r. Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

  • i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

  • ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.

s. Acquisitions of assets and business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and the equity instruments issued by the consolidated Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, classified as an asset or liability, are accounted for in accordance with relevant Standards. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (ie: the date the consolidated Group attains control) and the resulting in a gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under AASB 3 (2008) are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

  • deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB112 Income Taxes and AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively;

  • liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the consolidated Group of an acquiree’s share –based payment awards are measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment ; and

  • assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the consolidated Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of the date.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the consolidated Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject to a maximum of one year.

t. Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the consolidated Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine if there is any indication the assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the consolidated Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. Where the assets of a CGU include goodwill or intangibles which have an indefinite useful life, then the CGU is tested for impairment annually.

Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of (1) fair value less costs to sell and (2) 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. Where the value in use is not expected to be materially different from the fair value less selling costs the recoverable amount is based on the fair value less costs to sell.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

25

25

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

t. Impairment of assets (continued)

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Any impairment loss which is allocated to goodwill is not able to be reversed in a future period where the fair value of the asset (or CGU) increases.

u. Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees through the Employee Share Plan (‘the Plan’). The plan is an opportunity for eligible employees to purchase shares in Wentworth Holdings Limited. Employees, who were employed with the consolidated Group for specified periods at specified entitlement dates, are entitled to participate in the Plan. All shares issued pursuant to the Plan had a 3 year trading lock imposed. The employee also maintains full entitlement to voting, dividends and bonus issues.

Given the trading lock the Plan is treated as an option under AASB 2 “Share-based Payment”.

Equity-settled share-based payments granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested as of 1 January 2005, are measured at fair value at the date of the grant. Fair value is measured with reference to the Black Scholes Option Pricing Formula.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the consolidated Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

The consolidated Group has also provided benefits to certain key management personnel in the form of share based payments, based on the achievement of performance targets. Specifically, it was resolved at the 2008 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 19 December 2008 to offer Mr. Charles Tarbey (Executive Director), the following incentive package, at no cost:

  • 2.500 million shares ($0.136 million when issued 9 February 2009).

  • An additional 2.500 million shares if earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of the Company and its subsidiaries for any financial year ending 30 June 2009 (FY09 EBITDA), 30 June 2010 (FY10 EBITDA) or 30 June 2011 (FY11 EBITDA) achieves a breakeven position, as reported in the Company’s audited financial statements for the relevant financial year approved by the board of directors of the Company.

  • An additional 2.500 million shares if the reported FY09 EBITDA, FY10 EBITDA or FY11 EBITDA is at least $1.000 million. The above two (2) tranches of shares were issued 18 December 2009 (cost: $0.275 million).

  • An additional 2.500 million shares if the reported FY09 EBITDA, FY10 EBITDA or FY11 EBITDA is at least $2.000 million. The above tranche of shares were issued 27 August 2010 (cost: $0.138 million)

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date when they were granted. The fair value was determined at the market price of the shares at grant date.

In addition to the above, it was resolved at the Company’s 2009 AGM held on 16 December 2009, to issue up to 15 million options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares (Options) to Mr Tarbey or his nominee. The Options were being issued to Mr. Tarbey or his nominee as part of his remuneration.

There is no issue price for these Options as the Options were granted for no consideration. The key terms of the Options are:

  • the exercise price of each Option is $0.06;

  • the Options are exercisable wholly or in part at any time from day of issue and will expire on the date that is 3 years from the date of issue;

  • each Option shall entitle Charles Michael Tarbey or his nominee to acquire one share in the capital of the Company;

  • each Option may be exercised by delivering to the registered office of the Company a notice in writing during the period referred to above stating the intention of Charles Michael Tarbey or his nominee to exercise a specified number of options, accompanied by an option certificate, if applicable, and a cheque made payable to the Company for the subscription monies due, subject to the funds being duly cleared funds. The exercise of only a portion of the Options held does not affect the holder’s right to exercise the balance of any Options remaining;

  • all shares issued on exercise of the Options will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s then issued shares. These Options will be unlisted; and

  • the Options are not transferable.

Should all of the Options be exercised, the Company will raise a total of $900,000. The options were independently valued at $531,000 by Leadenhall VRG Pty Limited on 21 December 2009.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

In the current year, the consolidated Group has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standard and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The Directors are in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations

Standards affecting presentation and disclosure

Amendments to AASB 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosure The amendments (part of AASB 2010-4 ‘Further Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual
Improvements Project’) clarify the required level of disclosures about
credit risk and collateral held and provide relief from disclosures
previouslyrequired regardingrenegotiated loans
Amendments to AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial
Statements’
The amendments (part of AASB 2010-4 ‘Further Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual
Improvements Project’) clarify that an entity may choose to present
the required analysis of items of other comprehensive income either
in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial
statements.
AASB 1054 ‘Australian Additional Disclosures’ and AASB 2011-
1 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising
from Trans-Tasman Convergence Project’
AASB 1054 sets out the Australian-specific disclosures for entities
that have adopted Australian Accounting Standards. This Standard
contains disclosure requirements that are in addition to IFRSs in
areas such as compliance with Australian Accounting Standards, the
nature of financial statements (general purpose or special purpose),
audit fees, imputation (franking) credits and the reconciliation of net
operating cash flow to profit (loss).
AASB 2011-1 makes amendments to a range of Australian
Accounting Standards and Interpretations for the purpose of closer
alignment to IFRSs and harmonisation between Australian and New
Zealand Standards. The Standard deletes various Australian-specific
guidance and disclosures from other Standards (Australian-specific
disclosures retained are now contained in AASB 1054), and aligns the
wordingused to that adopted in IFRSs.
AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ (revised December 2009) AASB 124 (revised December 2009) has been revised on the following
two aspects: (a) AASB 124 (revised December 2009) has changed the
definition of a related party and (b) AASB 124 (revised December
2009) introduces a partial exemption from the disclosure
requirements forgovernment-related entities.

  • (i) The average credit period on rendering of services is approximately 30 days (2011: 30 days). No interest is charged on trade receivables. The consolidated Group has provided fully for non-recoverable amounts. Included in trade receivables are debtors with a carrying amount of $nil (2011: $0.019 million) which are past due at the reporting date which have not been provided for as the amounts are still considered recoverable. The consolidated Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

  • (ii) The average age of other receivables is 39 days (2011: nil days). Other receivables at 30 June 2012 includes deferred consideration ($0.420 million, net of impairment of $0.230 million- 2011: $nil), other amounts ($0.236 million) due per Share Sale Agreements between Wentworth Holdings Limited and Combined Rentals Pty Limited and Charles Tarbey (‘Purchaser’) and term deposit interest and other sundry amounts receivable ($0.124 million). Refer also to Notes 7 and 33.

Included in the above mentioned other amounts due are items with a carrying amount of $0.223 million (2011: $nil) which are past due at the reporting date which have not been provided for as the amounts are still considered recoverable. The consolidated Group does not hold any collateral over these balances

Under the Share Sale Agreements, the Purchaser must make regular repayments (at least quarterly or as agreed between the parties) of all amounts due. Unpaid amounts due are interest bearing at a rate of interest of 4.50% per annum and 7.50% per annum when in default, payable quarterly. Interest of $0.037 million (2011: $nil) is included in the above balance.

Notes to the Financial Statements

11. Trade and other receivables at amortised cost (continued)

Recoverability of a trade receivable is determined by considering change in the credit quality from the date credit was granted. Credit risk concentration is limited as the customer base is large and unrelated. Accordingly, the directors believe no credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

(i) Impairment testing of Goodwill (and Other Intangible Assets)

During the financial year, the consolidated Group assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill (and Other Intangible Assets), and determined that goodwill, which is wholly associated with the Group’s real estate business, was impaired by $nil (2011: $0.375 million).

The recoverable amount of the property management operations was assessed by reference to the fair value less costs to sell for each cash-generating unit (CGU). The fair value of the property management operations for 30 June 2011 has been estimated using:

  • annualised commission income as at 30 June 2011; and

  • a multiple for each business.

Annualised commission income was used to estimate the fair value of each CGU as it reflects the expected future commission income at balance date based on the conditions of the market and the CGU at the time of impairment testing.

The multiples used to calculate fair value were obtained from the following sources:

  • Management’s estimates (determined based on the multiples used to originally acquire the respective businesses, allowing for any changes that have occurred in each business and/or the market subsequently); and

  • Management’s knowledge of potential offers received for the assets of the consolidated Group and the multiples being offered.

Estimated selling costs include professional fees of nil (2011: 0.5%) of the sales proceeds, based on industry standards and historical experience.

No other assets in the CGUs, subject to impairment, were impaired.

Goodwill has been allocated (post impairment) to each CGU for impairment testing purposes on the following bases:

i. Amortisation

A useful life of 7 years (2011: 7 years) was used in the calculation of amortisation for property management rights (stand alone rent rolls & rent rolls and sales operations acquired). Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their useful lives which have been estimated based upon the expected attrition rates of the property management rights. Attrition rates are based on historical experience, future expectations and by reference to business models prepared by an independent valuer.

Intangible assets pledged as security for liabilities

All property management rights have been pledged as security against borrowings of the consolidated Group.

Significant intangible assets

The consolidated Group holds no property management rights as at 30 June 2012 (2011: 8,291 properties), acquired as part of business combinations. The carrying amount of these property management rights after amortisation was $nil (2011: $6.003 million).

Contractual commitments to acquire intangible assets

There were no contractual commitments to acquire any intangible assets as at 30 June 2012.

Impairment testing of Other Intangible Assets

Details of impairment testing are provided at Note 14.

Notes to the Financial Statements

29. Financial instruments (continued)

e. Interest rate risk management

The consolidated Group is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the consolidated Group borrow funds at fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by a maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. The company and the consolidated Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

f. Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure for interest rates of non-derivative instruments at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the consolidated Group's, net profit would decrease by $0.070 million and increase by $0.070 million (2011: decrease by $0.015 million and increase by $0.015 million).

The consolidated Group's sensitivity to interest rates has decreased during the current year mainly due to the decrease in variable rate debt instruments.

The Company is exposed to interest rate movements (2011: exposed).

g. Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the consolidated Group. The consolidated Group has a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers and are spread across diverse geographical areas. Credit risk, concerning real estate sales commissions and property management commissions, is limited as such funds are received from monies held in trust after settlement to the respective customer. Credit terms of 30 days are specified on these invoices and are rigorously monitored. Finally, credit risk, concerning referral fees, is limited as funds are received from monies held in trust (received after settlement of the respective property occurs).

The consolidated Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the consolidated Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

h. Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of Directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the consolidated Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.

The consolidated Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturing profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Liquidity and interest risk tables

Liquidity risk management refers to the risk that the consolidated Group will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The following table details the consolidated Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the consolidated Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie: as prices) or indirectly ( ie: derived from prices).

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are based on observable market data ( unobservable inputs).

j. Price risk

The consolidated Group has an investment in marketable securities (included within available–for-sale financial assets) which provides exposure to price risk. The equity investment is publicly traded on equity exchanges.

Sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the consolidated Group’s exposure to equity prices. At the reporting date, if the value of marketable securities were 5% lower/higher with all other variables constant, the consolidated Group’s equity would have been $0.007 million (2011: $0.008 million) lower/higher due to changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Wentworth Holdings Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Wentworth Holdings Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of 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 as set out on pages 16 to 52.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. The directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes complies 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 whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control, relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view, 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 company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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