Important information concerning proxy votes on Remuneration related to Resolutions 3 to 5
The Corporations Act prohibits Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) and their Closely Related Parties from voting on resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP. Accordingly, the Company’s KMP and their Closely Related Parties are prohibited from voting on Resolutions 3 to 5 to approve the issue of Options to members of the Board.
3 | P a g e
However, a member of the Company’s KMP, or a Closely Related Party of such a member, may cast a vote on Resolutions 3 to 5 if:
-
(a) they do so as a proxy appointed in writing that specified how the proxy is to vote on the proposed Resolution; and
-
(b) the vote is not cast on behalf of a member of KMP, or a Closely Related Party.
If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (whether intentionally or by default) you can direct the Chairman of the Meeting to vote for, against or abstain from voting on Resolutions 3 to 5 by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form, under the heading ‘Appoint a Proxy to Vote on Your Behalf’.
If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (whether intentionally or by default) and do not direct the Chairman how to vote in respect of Resolutions 3 to 5, then the Chairman may not cast your votes in relation to those Resolutions. To avoid this, mark the relevant box on the proxy form authorising the Chairman to cast undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 3 to 5. This express authorisation contained in your proxy form acknowledges that the Chairman may vote your proxy in favour of Resolutions 3 to 5, even though it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Company, which includes the Chairman.
For the purposes of this Notice (including each of the Resolutions), the following definitions apply:
-
" Closely Related Party ", in relation to a member of the KMP, means the member's spouse, child or dependent (or a child or dependent of the member's spouse), anyone else in the member's family who may be expected to influence or be influenced by the member in the member's dealings with the Company (or its controlled entities), and any company the member controls.

Approval requirements
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that, among other things, the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a ‘substantial asset’ from, or dispose of a ‘substantial asset’ to, a person who is a ‘substantial holder’ of shares in the Company without the approval of Shareholders. A person is a ‘substantial holder’ if that person and their associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the six months prior to the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the Company’s securities.
ASX Listing Rule 10.5 applies ASX Listing Rule 10.1 to put and call options and, having regard to the terms of the Project Delivery Deed, requires that the Company obtain the approval of Shareholders for the Put Option before it is "issued".
FKPRD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aveo Group Limited ( Aveo ) and is therefore an associate of Aveo. Aveo held a relevant interest in more than 10% of the total votes attached to the Company’s securities until 9 August 2013 and is deemed to have maintained this interest for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 until 9 February 2014 (which includes the period during which the Company agreed to enter into the Project Delivery Deed). The Company has determined that FKPRD should therefore be treated as a 'substantial Shareholder' for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1.
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.2, a ‘substantial asset’ is an asset whose value, or the value of the consideration paid for it, is, or in ASX’s opinion is, 5% or more of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules. The value of the Participation Fee that the Company will pay FKPRD in order to acquire its interest in the Project exceeds 5% of the value of the equity interests of the Company set out in the most recent accounts given to ASX by the Company under the Listing Rules. Therefore, approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 is required for the transaction contemplated by the Project Delivery Deed .
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.10, the Independent Expert has been asked to prepare a report on whether the transaction that the Company is proposing to enter into under the Project Delivery Deed is fair and reasonable. The Independent Expert has concluded that this transaction is fair and reasonable to non-associated Shareholders. Please refer to the Independent Expert’s Report attached as Annexure A to this Notice of General Meeting.
The giving of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company would also usually require Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act. However, there are various exceptions to the requirement for member approval. This includes, in accordance with section 210 of the Corporations Act, where the benefit is given on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm's length.
The Directors are of the view that the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act is relevant to the Company entering into the Project Delivery Deed because the Project Delivery Deed (including the arrangements concerning the Participation Fee) is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and FKPRD were dealing at arm's length. Accordingly, the Company is not seeking the approval of members under section 208 of the Corporations Act.
Directors’ recommendation
All of the Directors other than Winson Chow and David Hunt have considered the potential advantages and disadvantages of the transaction contemplated by the Project Delivery Deed and the Independent Expert's conclusions and each of them RECOMMEND that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Winson Chow is an alternate director of Aveo and David Hunt is the Chief Financial Officer of Aveo. Accordingly, Mr Chow and Mr Hunt consider that it is inappropriate for them to make a recommendation to Shareholders in respect of this resolution.

Resolution 2 – Approval to acquire the right to participate in the development of The Milton
Subject to Shareholder approval being granted under this resolution, the Company and FKP Commercial Developments Pty Ltd ( FKPCD ) have entered into a development agreement dated 6 January 2014 ( Development Agreement ) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire a right to participate along with FKPCD in the proposed mixed-use development known as the "The Milton" located at 55 Railway Terrace, Milton in Queensland ( Project ).
The Project is in line with the Company’s strategy to diversify its geographical footprint and expand its development pipeline on Australia’s eastern seaboard. The Project presents itself as a unique opportunity to participate in a residential, commercial and retail development situated on the fringe of the Brisbane CBD.
The material terms of the Development Agreement are as follows:
Conditions
- (a) The rights and obligations of the parties are subject to two conditions precedent. The first is that the Company obtain the approval of its Shareholders under the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rules in order to undertake the transactions contemplated by the Development Agreement. The second is that the Company gives notice to the Foreign Investment Review Board of its intention to enter into the Development Agreement and no objection is raised in respect of that notice.
Development
(b) The parties will co-operate in the performance and delivery of the construction, design, marketing and sales for the Project, which is located on land owned by FKPCD.
-
(c) The Development Agreement will commence on the date the parties enter into it ( Commencement Date ) and will continue until terminated in accordance with its terms (including, for example, if a condition precedent is not satisfied) or the final distribution of all income from the Project between the parties has been completed.
-
(d) The parties will work together to procure project finance for the Project. The borrower under the relevant facilities will be FKPCD, and if required by the financier, the Company jointly. If the Company is not a borrower, the Company shall guarantee the Project Finance. The only security provided will be the land owned by FKPCD on which the Project is located with the facilities otherwise being non-recourse to the parties.
The Project
-
(e) On the Commencement Date, a Participation Fee will become payable (in two tranches) under the Development Agreement in consideration for the work that FKPCD will have carried out to that date in relation to the Project, including obtaining development approvals, administering the tender process to engage a builder and obtaining pre-sale commitments. The Company must pay FKPCD a deposit on the Participation Fee of $100,000 on the Commencement Date, with the balance of $22,200,000 due on or before 15 June 2014 subject to FKPCD complying with certain obligations under the Development Agreement and the conditions being satisfied or waived.
-
(f) From the Commencement Date, the parties will:
-
(i) each be liable for 50% of the costs associated with, and be entitled to receive 50% of the income generated by the Project;
-
(ii) jointly co-ordinate and control the development of the Project as determined by a project control group ( PCG ), which will have equal representation for each of the parties. Among other things, the PCG will determine the sale price for each apartment to be sold in the Project and the terms of sale.
8 | P a g e
Interest of Participant Unsecured
-
(g) The interests of each party in the Project under the Development Agreement will be unsecured as between themselves and are only permitted to grant an encumbrance over their rights under the Development Agreement with the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
-
(h) If one party is in default under the Development Agreement and that default is not, or cannot, be remedied then the non-defaulting party may exercise an option to acquire the defaulting party's interest in the Project at fair market value.
Approval requirements
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that, among other things, the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a ‘substantial asset’ from, or dispose of a ‘substantial asset’ to, a person who is a ‘substantial holder’ of shares in the Company without the approval of Shareholders. A person is a ‘substantial holder’ if that person and their associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the six months prior to the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the Company’s securities.
FKPCD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aveo Group Limited ( Aveo ) and is therefore an associate of Aveo. Aveo held a relevant interest in more than 10% of the total votes attached to the Company’s securities until 9 August 2013 and is deemed to have maintained this interest for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 until 9 February 2014 (which includes the period during which the Company agreed to enter into the Development Agreement). The Company has determined that FKPCD should therefore be treated as a 'substantial Shareholder' for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1.
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.2, a ‘substantial asset’ is an asset whose value, or the value of the consideration paid for it, is, or in ASX’s opinion is, 5% or more of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules. The value of the Participation Fee that the Company will pay FKPCD in order to acquire its interest in the Project exceeds 5% of the value of the equity interests of the Company set out in the most recent accounts given to ASX by the Company under the Listing Rules. Therefore, approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 is required for the transaction contemplated by the Development Agreement .
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.10, the Independent Expert has been asked to prepare a report on whether the transaction that the Company is proposing to enter into under the Development Agreement is fair and reasonable. The Independent Expert has concluded that this transaction is fair and reasonable to non-associated Shareholders.

Resolutions 3 to 5: Issue of Options to Non-Executive Directors
Resolutions 3 to 5 seek Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes for the grant of 49,999,998 options ( Options ) to be split equally between Mr David Hunt, Ms Cerena Fu and Mr Marcus Seow, who are each Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
It is proposed that the Options be issued to Mr Hunt, Ms Fu and Mr Seow as additional remuneration in order to:
-
reward each of them for the workload they have undertaken during the Company's recent transitional period (which has seen the Company refinance its major debt facilities, enter into important new transactions and increase its market capitalisation from $5.9 million on 28 December 2012 to $74.2 million on 24 October 2013); and
-
allow the Company to adequately compensate Mr Hunt, Ms Fu and Mr Seow for their commitment to the Company and to incentivise them to retain their positions with the Company and to continue to contribute to the Company's development and growth.
The members of the Board have formed the view that it would be appropriate to issue the Options, subject to Shareholder approval, because it considers that the issue would be reasonable in the circumstances having regard to the present circumstances of the Company and the following considerations:
-
competition in the markets in which the Company operates for experienced company Directors and the importance of such Directors to the future development and growth of the Company;
-
issuing the Options would be a cost-effective mechanism for the Company to reward its NonExecutive Directors for their efforts during its recent transition and encourage those Directors to remain involved in the Company's affairs going forward;
-
in the Company's current circumstances, it would benefit the Company to provide additional remuneration to its Non-Executive Directors by way of scrip rather than having to increase its costs by increasing the amount of remuneration received by those Directors in cash;
-
the Options would provide a way for the Company to provide additional remuneration to its NonExecutive Directors while strengthening the alignment between the interests of those Directors and the interests of the Company;
-
there do not appear to be any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company is issuing the Options upon the terms proposed.
The table below provides information relating to the effect that the issue of Options as contemplated by Resolutions 3 to 5 will have upon the remuneration of Mr Hunt, Ms Fu and Mr Seow.
| David Hunt | Cerena Fu | Marcus Seow | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of ordinary shares currently held |

Approval Requirements
ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities (including an option) to a related party. As Directors of the Company, Mr Hunt, Ms Fu and Mr Seow are considered related parties of the Company. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Options.
ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting for a proposed approval under Listing Rule 10.11. The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13 to allow them to assess the proposed issue of Options under Resolutions 3 to 5:
-
(a) the Options will be granted to Mr David Hunt, Ms Cerena Fu and Mr Marcus Seow, each of whom is a Non-Executive Director of the Company, for incentive and remuneration purposes as set out above;
-
(b) the maximum total number of Options to be issued under Resolutions 3 to 5 is 49,999,998 as outlined in the table above;
-
(c) the Options will be issued no later than one month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and/or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission);
-
(d) while there is no consideration for the issue of the Options, the exercise price of the options will be $0.02 per new ordinary share in the Company and the options will expire on 31 March 2016. The full terms and conditions are set out in Annexure B to this Notice of General Meeting;
-
(e) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 3 to 5 in the Notice; and
-
(f) there will be no funds raised from the issue of the Options (which will be issued for nil consideration) and any funds raised from the exercise of the Options will be applied toward the Company's working capital requirements at that time.
Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if the same issue is approved by Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (as provided for by ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14).
- Corporations Act Chapter 2E
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a listed company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company except where:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions set out in Chapter 2E (in this case the applicable exception is section 211 as described below); or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained before giving the financial benefit.
As Directors of the Company, Mr Hunt, Ms Fu and Mr Seow are each a related party of the Company for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and the proposed issue of securities is considered a financial benefit.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to obtain Shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given to the related party as an officer of the Company and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the Company and the related party's circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
11 | P a g e
The members of the Board considers the proposed issue of the Options to the Non-Executive Directors the subject of Resolutions 3 to 5 to be reasonable remuneration for each of those Directors and, as such, falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this view, the Board had regard to the responsibilities of each Non-Executive Director, the terms of the Options, the present circumstances of the Company and the other considerations relating to the issue of the Options identified earlier in these notes.
Corporations Act - Section 195
Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially prohibits a Director of a public company from attending or voting during Board meetings when matters in which that Director has a material personal interest are being considered.
Each of Mr Hunt, Ms Fu and Mr Seow may each have a personal interest in Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 respectively. In the absence of Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to properly form a quorum for the Board to carry out the matters contemplated by those resolutions. The Board therefore considers it would be prudent to obtain this approval.
The Board is not aware of any other information that might be reasonably required by Shareholders in order to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 3 to 5.
Directors' recommendation
Given the nature of Resolutions 3 to 5, all of the Directors consider that it would be inappropriate for them to make a recommendation to Shareholders.

Voting entitlements
In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001, the Company has determined that the shareholding of each person for the purpose of determining entitlements to attend and vote at the General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Company’s share register as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 31 March 2014 . Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.
Voting in person
A member that is an individual may attend and vote in person at the General Meeting. If you wish to attend the General Meeting, please bring the enclosed proxy form to the General Meeting to assist in registering your attendance and number of votes. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the General Meeting to facilitate this registration process.
A member that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative to vote at the Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act.

Voting by proxy
A Shareholder who does not wish to attend the General Meeting may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. A Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or numbers of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. A Shareholder wishing to appoint a second proxy may copy the enclosed form.
An instrument of proxy which is valid and effective except that it does not specify an appointee in respect of any of the shares in the Company of the relevant Shareholder is to be treated as validly appointing the Chairman of the General Meeting as proxy in respect of all of the shares of that Shareholder.

But, if in respect of any vote in respect of that item of business, the Shareholder does not on the instrument of proxy indicate how the appointee is to cast that vote, the appointee may cast, or abstain from casting that vote as the appointee determines. Where the Chairman is appointed as the proxy, the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of all items of business.
To be effective, a duly completed Proxy Form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received by the Company no later than 10.00am on Monday, 31 March 2014 , being 48 hours before the commencement of the General Meeting. Facsimile forms are acceptable.

The Directors PBD Developments Limited 99 Macquarie Street Sydney NSW 2000
14 February 2014
Dear Directors
Independent expert’s report
Introduction
On 15 October 2013, PBD Developments Limited (PBD) announced that, subject to shareholder approval, it intends to acquire the following from Aveo Group Limited (formerly FKP Property Group Limited) (Aveo Group) (the Proposed Acquisitions):
-
a 50% participating interest in The Milton project located in Milton, Queensland (The Milton)
-
a participating interest in the development of a 14 hectare non-contiguous en-globo site, known as Yang Land, forming a part of the Saltwater Coast residential estate in Point Cook, Victoria (the Yang Land)
(collectively the Interests).
Purpose of the report
The Proposed Acquisitions involve the acquisition of assets from Aveo Group.
Aveo Group held a relevant interest in more than 10% of the total votes attached to PBD’s securities until 9 August 2013 and is deemed to have maintained this interest for the purposes of Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rule 10.1 until 9 February 2014 (which includes the period during which PBD agreed to enter into the project delivery deed for the Yang Land and the development agreement for The Milton).
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that, among other things, a company (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a ‘substantial asset’ from, or dispose of a ‘substantial asset’ to, a person who is a ‘substantial holder’ of shares in the company without the approval of shareholders. A person is a ‘substantial holder’ if that person and their associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the six months prior to the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the company’s securities.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.10, the directors of PBD (the Directors) have requested that Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited (Deloitte Corporate Finance) provide an independent expert’s report advising whether, in our opinion, the Proposed Acquisitions are fair and reasonable.
This report is to be included in the notice of the meeting to approve the Proposed Acquisitions (the Notice of Meeting), which will be sent to PBD’s Shareholders not associated with the Proposed Acquisitions (Non-associated Shareholders), and has been prepared for the exclusive purpose of assisting Non-associated Shareholders in their consideration of the Proposed Acquisition. Neither Deloitte Corporate Finance, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, nor any member or employee thereof, undertakes responsibility to any person, other than the Non-associated Shareholders and PBD, in respect of this report, including any errors or omissions however caused.
Basis of evaluation
We have evaluated the Proposed Acquisitions having regard to the Listing Rules and Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guides.
Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited
In order to assess whether the Proposed Acquisitions are fair and reasonable we have:
-
assessed whether the Proposed Acquisitions are fair by comparing the consideration being offered by PBD under the Proposed Acquisitions with the fair market value of the Interests. The transaction is fair if the value of the Interests is equal to or greater than the value of the consideration offered by PBD
-
assessed the reasonableness of the Proposed Acquisitions by considering other advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Acquisitions to Non-associated Shareholders.
Definition of value
Our valuation analysis is based on the concept of fair market value, which we have defined as the amount at which the Interests would be expected to change hands between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller, neither of whom is under any compulsion to buy or sell. Special purchasers may be willing to pay higher prices to reduce or eliminate competition, to ensure a source of material supply or sales, or to achieve cost savings or other synergies arising on business combinations, which could only be enjoyed by the special purchaser. Our valuations have not been premised on the existence of a special purchaser.
Summary and conclusion
In our opinion the Proposed Acquisitions are fair and reasonable. In arriving at this opinion, we have had regard to the following factors:
The Proposed Acquisitions are fair
According to ASIC Regulatory Guide 111, in order to assess whether the transaction is fair, the independent expert is required to compare the value of the financial benefit being offered to the related party to the value of the consideration being provided to the related party under the Proposed Acquisition. The transaction is fair if the value of the Interests is equal to or greater than the value of the consideration offered by PBD.
As the Interests to be acquired under the Proposed Acquisitions are separate contractual agreements, we have separately considered the fairness of each proposed acquisition.
Set out in the table below is a comparison of our assessment of the fair market value of the Yang Land with the consideration offered by PBD.
Table 1: Evaluation of fairness – the Yang Land
| $ million | Section | Low | High |

| Estimated fair market value of the Yang Land | 7.9 | 17.5 | 18.5 |
| Total consideration offered for the Yang Land | 9.1 | 17.2 | 17.2 |
Source: Deloitte Corporate Finance
The consideration offered by PBD for the Yang Land is below the range of our estimate of the fair market value of the Yang Land. Accordingly it is our opinion that the proposed acquisition of the Yang Land is fair.
Set out in the table below is a comparison of our assessment of the fair market value of The Milton with the consideration offered by PBD.

Page 2
The consideration offered by PBD for The Milton is within the range of our estimate of the fair market value of The Milton. Accordingly it is our opinion that the proposed acquisition of The Milton is fair.
Valuation of the Interests
We have estimated the fair market value of the Interests as follows:
The Yang Land
We have estimated the fair market value of the Yang Land by applying the residual cash flow approach which estimates the value the Yang Land by working back from the assessed gross realisation of the project (i.e. sales proceeds of the sale of the end lots) to establish the residual value of the property after the costs associated with the project (including development costs and financing costs and an appropriate development profit) have been deducted. The development profit is based on industry benchmarks and takes into account the various risks associated with the project including market and construction risk.
The gross realisation of the residential lots on an individual sale basis has been assessed by the direct comparison approach, whereby sales of similar product are directly compared to the subject to establish a present day fair market value.
Our valuation using the residual cash flow approach has been cross-checked using the direct comparison approach. The direct comparison approach in this instance involves applying a value rate to the selected unit of comparison, which in this case is a rate per hectare of site area and rate per proposed lot, with the adopted value rate derived from the analysis of comparable sales evidence.
The Milton
We have estimated the fair market value of The Milton by also applying the residual cash flow approach.
The gross realisation estimate of the residential units ‘as if complete’ left to sell has been assessed using the direct comparison approach. For units that are pre-sold, the contracted settlement proceeds are assumed in our gross realisation estimate calculation.
The gross realisation estimate of the retail and commercial units has been assessed by capitalisation approach and crosschecked against the direct comparison approach. The capitalisation approach has been effected by applying a marketderived capitalisation rate to the assessed net annual market rent to establish the property’s core investment value (fully leased at current market rents) and then making ‘below the line’ adjustments for the property’s individual investment characteristics, including rental reversions, outstanding abatements, future incentives, et cetera. The direct comparison approach has been applied as a cross check.
The realisation estimate for the management rights has been assessed by direct comparison approach on a rate per total number of units and a rate per unit in the letting pool.
Valuation of the consideration
We have estimated the value of the consideration offered for the Yang Land to be $17.2 million. As the majority of the consideration for the Yang Land is payable based on future sales over an 18 month period, we have discounted the consideration assuming that the Yang Land lots will be realised evenly over this period.
We have estimated the fair market value of the consideration offered for the Milton to be $22.3 million. As the final payment for The Milton is due six months after the execution of the development agreement, we do not consider the time value of money to be material and accordingly have not discounted the consideration for The Milton.
The Proposed Acquisitions are reasonable
In accordance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 an offer is reasonable if it is fair. On this basis, in our opinion the Proposed Acquisitions are reasonable. We have also considered the following factors in assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Acquisition:
Deloitte : PBD Developments Limited – Independent expert’s report and Financial Services Guide
Page 3
Advantages of the Proposed Acquisition
The likely advantages to Non-associated Shareholders if the Proposed Acquisitions are approved include:
PBD may be able to achieve benefits above the market value of the Interests
Whilst our valuation of the Interests is premised on a market value basis, in arriving at various assumptions with respect to realisation values, we have considered observable historical market data for comparable property sales over, principally, the last three years. During this period we note that property prices have generally been mixed across the major capital cities.
Following a reduction of 225 basis points in the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate to 2.5% since October 2011 and a general improvement in economic sentiment, it is anticipated that property prices are likely to achieve improved growth over the coming year. Furthermore, PBD’s strong connections with international buyers and a weakening in the Australian dollar could drive increased activity from foreigner buyers.
Accordingly, to the extent that PBD can benefit from improved property price growth and realise higher sales prices for the lots units and the units at the Yang Land and The Milton, respectively, additional value may flow to shareholders of PBD.
Aveo Group will remain actively involved in The Milton and in the Point Cook area
Aveo Group is a well-known property developer with significant experience in commercial and residential property developments in Australia and, in particular, has considerable knowledge of The Milton and the Yang Land developments. As Aveo Group will retain a 50% interest in The Milton, PBD will be able to bring to bear, and benefit from, Aveo Group’s considerable property expertise in the development of The Milton.
Although PBD is acquiring 100% of the Yang Land from Aveo Group, Aveo Group still has considerable land holdings in the Point Cook area. Given the strong relationship between PBD and Aveo Group, it is anticipated that PBD will continue to benefit from Aveo Group’s expertise in developments in the Point Cook area.
Change in cash flow profile through the acquisition of the Interests
Prior to PBD’s recently announced diversification strategy, PBD focused principally on acquiring vacant land, principally in Western Australia, for the purpose of undertaking residential developments. Due to the long lead times in acquiring the necessary State and Commonwealth Government permits, planning consents and other statutory approvals to commence construction, considerable cash outflows are required until sales can ultimately be realised.
The Proposed Acquisitions of The Milton and the Yang Land, which are both at an advanced stage of the development process, will allow PBD to realise cash inflows over the shorter term and therefore also enable it to fund other projects.
Disadvantages of the Proposed Acquisition
The likely disadvantages to Non-associated Shareholders if the Proposed Acquisitions are approved include:
PBD may not be in a position to acquire other assets
In the event that PBD is unable to raise additional capital or secure alternative financing arrangements, it may be difficult for PBD to acquire additional assets, in the event that the Proposed Acquisitions are approved, until such time that PBD’s existing assets are realised.
Conclusion on reasonableness
On balance, in our opinion, the advantages of the Proposed Acquisitions outweigh the disadvantages.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Proposed Acquisitions are fair and reasonable to Non-associated Shareholders. An individual’s decision in relation to the Proposed Acquisitions may be influenced by his or her particular circumstances. If in doubt the individual should consult an independent adviser, who should have regard to their individual circumstances.

1 Overview of the Proposed Acquisitions
1.1 Summary
On 15 October 2013, PBD announced that, subject to shareholder approval, it intends to acquire the Interests from Aveo Group. The consideration PBD has offered to Aveo Group for the Interests are set out as follows.
1.1.1 The Yang Land
Under the terms of the project delivery deed, PBD will pay a participation fee to Aveo Group of $18.0 million determined as follows.
-
$100,000 on the date that the project delivery deed was executed on 3 December 2013
-
$1,700,000 within five business days of the conditions of the project delivery deed being satisfied. These conditions include, amongst others, obtaining approval from financiers, the Commonwealth Government and all necessary permits, consents and approvals from the relevant authorities. This is to be completed within 130 days from the execution of the project delivery deed
-
$1,700,000 within five business days of the date on which the plan of subdivision for Stage 1 is registered at Land Victoria
-
for each sale contract, $14,500,000 divided by the number of lots per sale contract, to a maximum of 242 lots
-
any outstanding amount is to be settled 18 months after the execution of the project delivery deed.
The project delivery deed also grants to Aveo Group an option to sell to PBD any unsold parcels of land at the end of the 18 month period. The purchase price will be any outstanding amount owing to Aveo Group under the payment terms described above.
1.1.2 The Milton
Under the terms of the development agreement, PBD will pay a participation fee to Aveo Group of $22.3 million determined as follows.
-
$100,000 on the date that the development agreement was executed on 6 January 2014
-
$22,200,000 on or before 15 June 2014, subject to Aveo Group complying with its obligations under the development agreement.
We note that in addition to the participation fee payable to Aveo Group, from 31 October 2013, PBD is required to contribute its 50% share of construction costs incurred at The Milton.
1.2 PBD’s intentions
If the Proposed Acquisitions are successful:
-
PBD will hold an economic interest in the Yang Land with the intention of allowing PBD to develop the property into a residential estate and realising its investment through future lot sales
-
PBD will hold a 50% development interest in The Milton with the intention of allowing PBD to complete the development and realising its investment through future unit sales.
The Proposed Acquisition is to be funded by PBD through a combination of cash following the recent capital raising and existing loan facilities.
1.3 Key conditions
The Proposed Acquisitions require approval by the Non-associated Shareholders. We understand from management that PBD has already obtained Foreign Investment Review Board approval for the Proposed Acquisitions. Further details of the key conditions of the Proposed Acquisitions are included in the Notice of Meeting.

2 Scope of the report
2.1 Purpose of the report
The Proposed Acquisitions involve the acquisition of assets from Aveo Group.
Aveo Group held a relevant interest in more than 10% of the total votes attached to PBD’s securities until 9 August 2013 and is deemed to have maintained this interest for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 until 9 February 2014 (which includes the period during which PBD agreed to enter into the project delivery deed for the Yang Land and the development agreement for The Milton).
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that, among other things, a company (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a ‘substantial asset’ from, or dispose of a ‘substantial asset’ to, a person who is a ‘substantial holder’ of shares in the company without the approval of shareholders. A person is a ‘substantial holder’ if that person and their associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the six months prior to the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the company’s securities.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.10, the Directors have requested that Deloitte Corporate Finance provide an independent expert’s report advising whether, in our opinion, the Proposed Acquisitions are fair and reasonable.
This report is to be included in the Notice of the Meeting to approve the Proposed Acquisitions, which will be sent to PBD’s non-associated Shareholders, and has been prepared for the exclusive purpose of assisting Non-associated Shareholders in their consideration of the Proposed Acquisition. Neither Deloitte Corporate Finance, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, nor any member or employee thereof, undertakes responsibility to any person, other than the Non-associated Shareholders and PBD, in respect of this report, including any errors or omissions however caused.
2.2 Basis of evaluation
2.2.1 Guidance
In our assessment as to whether the Proposed Acquisitions are fair and reasonable, we have had regard to common market practice and Regulatory Guide 111 issued by ASIC in relation to the content of expert’s reports.
ASIC Regulatory Guides
There are a number of ASIC Regulatory Guides that provide guidance on independent expert’s reports and the basis of preparation of independent expert’s reports:
-
ASIC Regulatory Guide 76: Related Party Transaction (RG 76)
-
ASIC Regulatory Guide 111: Content of Expert Reports (RG 111)
-
ASIC Regulatory Guide 112: Independence of Experts (RG 112).
RG 112 primarily focusses on the independence of experts and provides little guidance on evaluating transactions. RG 76 defers to RG 111.
RG 111 provides guidance in relation to the content of independent expert’s reports prepared for a range of transactions. RG 111 notes that an expert should focus on the substance of the related party transaction, rather than the legal mechanism.
RG 111 also notes that a related party transaction is:
-
fair, when the value of the financial benefit being offered by the entity to the related party is equal to or less than the value of the benefit being received. In valuing the financial benefit given and the consideration received by the entity, an expert should take into account all material terms of the proposed transaction
-
reasonable, if it is fair, or, despite not being fair, after considering other significant factors, shareholders should vote in favour of the transaction.
We have considered the fairness of the Proposed Acquisitions by comparing the consideration being offered by PBD under the Proposed Acquisitions with the fair market value of the Interests. The transaction is fair if the value of the Interests is equal to or greater than the value of the consideration offered by PBD.
Deloitte : PBD Developments Limited – Independent expert’s report and Financial Services Guide
Page 10
Fair market value has been defined as the amount at which the Interests would be expected to change hands between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller, neither of whom is under a compulsion to buy or sell. Special purchasers may be willing to pay higher prices to reduce or eliminate competition, to ensure a source of material supply or sales, or to achieve cost savings or other synergies arising on business combinations, which could only be enjoyed by the special purchaser. Our consideration of the fair market value of the Interests has not been premised on the existence of a special purchaser.
To assess the reasonableness of the Proposed Acquisitions we considered the following significant factors in addition to determining whether the Proposed Acquisitions are fair:
-
additional benefits that PBD may be able to realise through the acquisition of the Interests
-
the opportunity costs of the Proposed Acquisitions
-
other implications associated with PBD Shareholders not voting in favour of the Proposed Acquisition.
2.2.2 Individual circumstances
We have evaluated the Proposed Acquisitions for Non-associated Shareholders as a whole and have not considered the effect of the Proposed Acquisitions on the particular circumstances of individual investors. Due to their particular circumstances, individual investors may place a different emphasis on various aspects of the Proposed Acquisitions from the one adopted in this report. Accordingly, individuals may reach different conclusions to ours on whether the Proposed Acquisitions are fair and reasonable to Non-associated Shareholders. If in doubt investors should consult an independent adviser, who should have regard to their individual circumstances.
2.3 Limitations and reliance on information
This report should be read in conjunction with Appendix L.
In addition, we highlight below some specific limitations related to the valuation of the Interests.
2.3.1 General limitations
For the purposes of our assessment and based on our discussions with management and our own review (although we note that we are not lawyers) we have assumed no stamp duty will be payable with respect to the acquisition of the Interests.
2.3.2 The Yang Land
Date of inspection
The date of our inspection of the asset was 11 December 2013. However, management of PBD and Aveo Group have confirmed that there have been no changes since this date and the date of our report to cause the value of the Interest to change materially.
Verifiable and/or key assumptions
The verifiable and/or key assumptions upon which our valuation of the Yang Land is based are as follows:
- development approvals to facilitate the development as proposed have been obtained and that all development costs are typical and no extraordinary costs for infrastructure or externals works requirements are required.
2.3.3 The Milton
Date of inspection
The date of our inspection of the asset was 15 January 2014. However, management of PBD and Aveo Group have confirmed that there have been no changes since this date and the date of our report to cause the value of the Interest to change materially.
Deloitte : PBD Developments Limited – Independent expert’s report and Financial Services Guide
Page 11
Verifiable and/or key assumptions
The verifiable and/or key assumptions upon which our valuation of The Milton is based are as follows:
-
there is a discrepancy between the approved plans and current pricing/ sales matrix. We have been advised by the developer this is due to a number of unit types being recently reconfigured, with the architectural plans to be amended based on the pricing/sales matrix. This valuation is based on the critical condition that any variances on the approved plans are amended and approved in accordance with the current sales/ pricing matrix
-
all required approvals have been obtained to facilitate the development as proposed
-
the Community Management Statement will be registered in accordance with the proposed development scheme and plans as detailed herein
-
the development is completed in accordance with the plans and details provided. On completion, the property will fully comply with all statutory building regulations, the Building Code of Australia, Council’s / Ministers conditions of consent, and each unit will have individual title
-
all unconditional pre-sales contracted to date are settled on completion of the development at the sale prices currently transacted
-
there are no material variations to the lump sum construction contract with Hutchinson Builders
-
70% of the units or greater are placed in letting pool for the purposes of the consideration payable under the Management Rights contract
-
all major consultants costs (i.e. architects, engineers etc.) have been paid for in the work in progress to date, or where novated as a cost as part of the Hutchinson construction contract
-
we have adopted the charges as per the budget and in accordance with the approval. We note based on recent Brisbane City Council policy changes these charges may change
adopted auto tax rule and assumed one eleventh of the residential unit gross realisation is to be remitted in GST to the Australian Taxation Office.

3 Profile of PBD
3.1 Overview of PBD
PBD is a listed Australian property development company focused on Australia’s eastern seaboard. PBD was previously known as Port Bouvard Limited and its major projects included a number of developments in the ‘Port Bouvard Residential Estate’ area, located 75 kilometres (km) south of Perth, Western Australia.
The Oceanique development (discussed in 3.2) now represents the Company’s only link to the Port Bouvard Residential Estate. The Company subsequently diversified into other property development projects, including Point Grey, which was acquired in 2007 and is also in the Western Australian market.
In 2010, Aveo Group, an ASX listed property group, acquired an interest of approximately 29.5% in PBD. Subsequently, in June 2013, as a result of a decision by Aveo Group to refocus its business activities, Aveo Group sold a 19.9% interest in PBD to Mulpha International Bhd (Mulpha Group). The remaining interest held by Aveo Group was sold on-market. Mulpha Group is a Malaysia based diversified conglomerate which has a substantial portfolio of property development and investment assets of approximately $1.3 billion[1] located throughout the Asia Pacific region, and in particular in Australia.
Over the last four years, PBD has experienced financial difficulties as a result of a slowdown in sales activity and the decline in residential property prices in Western Australia. Combined with high levels of leverage, this slowdown has resulted in the Company not being able to meet all of its debt obligations and the Company having difficulty refinancing its debt facilities.
In early 2013, the Company completed a rights issue undertaken as part of a refinancing of the facilities with St George that involved the utilisation of the proceeds from the rights issue to repay part of the financing provided by St George along with agreeing to a staged pay down of the balance of the St George financing over the next three years.
The problems experienced by the Company are not dissimilar to those experienced by other property developers in the Australian, and in particular Western Australian, market. Because this has been a market wide issue and also because of the impact of the global financial crisis and ongoing weaker financial markets on capital flows, traditional lenders, such as banks, have shown a reluctance to continue to fund companies such as PBD and, on an overall basis, reduced their exposure to the property development sector.
In the last nine months, the Company has expanded into the east coast of Australia through the acquisition of interests in two property development projects in Sydney, New South Wales. These investments were aligned with PBD’s revised strategic direction announced at the General Meeting of shareholders on 24 June 2013 which was to diversify PBD’s asset base with projects on the east coast of Australia, within inner metropolitan and city locations and close to established infrastructure. The investments have been funded through share placements and bank debt.
In late 2013, the Company also refinanced the majority of its facilities with St George to Sun Hung Kai International Bank [Brunei] Limited (SHK).
On 15 October 2013, PBD announced its intention to acquire interests in The Milton and the Yang Land located on the east coast.
3.2 Current status of major projects
A summary of each of the projects owned by the Company is set out below (the Yang Land and Milton assets are separately profiled in Section 5 and Section 6, respectively).
3.2.1 Point Grey
Point Grey is a 275 hectare property surrounded by the Peel and Harvey Estuaries located 75 km south of Perth and 12 km south east of Mandurah, Western Australia. PBD acquired Point Grey in 2007 with the intention to develop the land into a residential village with over 3,000 residential lots (incorporating a marina) over a 20 year period. Point Grey had a carrying value of $48.0 million as at 30 June 2013.

Finalisation of a marina environmental assessment from the Commonwealth Government is ongoing. PBD management has advised that development of Point Grey is on hold for the next twelve months.
3.2.2 Oceanique
The Oceanique luxury apartments project comprises 66 luxury apartments across two eight story towers located at Port Bouvard, Western Australia. Construction of Oceanique was completed in June 2010. As at 17 January 2014, 20 apartments with a carrying value of $25.0 million remained unsettled. PBD management advised that the remaining apartments are expected to be settled in FY14. PBD obtained an independent valuation for mortgage purposes from m3property (WA) Pty Limited, dated 26 August 2013, which valued 17 unsettled apartments at Oceanique at approximately $23.0 million.
3.2.3 Bridgeview
Bridgeview is a proposed townhouse project located in Annandale, approximately 5 km from the Sydney central business district (CBD). The proposed development is comprised of 23 townhouses which are due to be completed in mid-2015. All of the townhouse units have been pre-sold.
PBD invested $9.0 million into a joint venture in April 2013 with BHW Group Pty Limited and Dundas Developments Pty Limited to develop Bridgeview. The investment in the joint venture was funded by a $7.5 million share placement and $1.5 million from working capital reserves. PBD management expect the project to have an end value of approximately $30 million. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, on completion of the development, which is expected to occur in September 2014, PBD will receive its investment amount and half of any net profit remaining in the joint venture.
3.2.4 Burwood Square
Burwood Square is a proposed apartment project located in Burwood, approximately 12 km from the Sydney CBD. The proposed development will comprise 210 residential units across three towers, 8,200m[2] of retail space and public and private basement car-parking.
PBD management has advised that all of the residential units have been sold off the plan in recent months. Construction commenced in November 2013 and is expected to take between two and three years to complete.
PBD invested $12.4 million into a joint venture with the owners and developer of the land, B1 Goldfield Development Pty Limited, in September 2013, funded by new bank borrowings of $12.4 million. PBD is required to contribute a further $13.5 million in the financial year ending 30 June 2014. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, on completion of the development (expected in 2016) PBD will receive its investment amount (including interest) and its 48% share in any net profit remaining in the joint venture.

3.2.5 Other assets
PBD also holds an interest in Lot 370 Country Club Drive, Port Bouvard which is viewed as non-core asset to PBD and is in the process of being sold. The carrying value of Lot 370 Country Club Drive was approximately $2.9 million as at 30 June 2013.
On 17 January 2014, PBD announced the sale of Bandy Creek, Esperance for $1.6 million.
3.3 Capital structure and shareholders
As at the date of this report PBD had 6.5 billion ordinary shares on issue.
PBD’s top five shareholders are listed in the table below.

Source: Computershare
Note: 1. Includes the Mulpha Group’s 19.9% interest.
PBD has a tightly held shareholder base with the five largest registered shareholders holding a combined effective interest of 83% of PBD’s shares on issue. The largest single shareholder with a 44.0% interest in the Company is SHK Services (though we understand these are nominee accounts where SHK Services holds the shares in PBD on behalf of third party clients of SHK either as a custodian or in connection with SHK & Co’s margin lending business). Subsequent to the capital raising announced on 17 October 2013 (refer below), PBD also has options on issue over unissued ordinary shares.
On 20 December 2012, PBD announced a four for one pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer to eligible shareholders at an offer price of $0.01 per share, representing a 23.1% discount to the closing price of $0.013 on 17 December 2012. The fully underwritten offer raised approximately $23.8 million (before costs), the net proceeds of which were intended to be used for the following purposes:
-
strengthen the balance sheet by $12.0 million
-
payment of an instalment of $1.5 million to an unsecured creditor
-
payment of entitlement offer costs
-
provide working capital of approximately $8.0 million.
The capital raising resulted in an additional 2.38 billion shares being issued. Approximately 58% of total entitlements were subscribed for, with the shortfall taken up by the underwriter, Bell Potter Securities Limited and its subunderwriters.
On 15 April 2013, PBD announced it had completed a private placement of shares raising approximately $7.5 million at $0.01 per share, which was utilised to acquire an interest in the Bridgeview development. The capital raising resulted in an additional 742 million shares being issued.

Page 15
On 17 October 2013, PBD announced that it proposes to raise up to $41.8 million via a three for four pro-rata nonrenounceable entitlement issue at an offer price of $0.015 per share, representing a 37.5% discount to the closing price of $0.024 on 16 October 2013. In addition, subscribers to the entitlement offer will receive one free option for every one new share subscribed for. The options are exercisable at $0.0225 on or before 31 December 2015. The net proceeds of the entitlement offer are intended to be used to reduce PBD’s existing debt facilities and to fund new property development projects as part of the Company’s future growth strategy.

Elevated trading volumes noted after the four for one entitlement offer primarily reflects the increased number of shares on issue and portfolio adjustments undertaken by institutional investors, including SHK. Prior to the entitlement offer, trading in PBD shares was relatively illiquid.
3.5 Financial performance
Given the nature of PBD’s business operations and the substantial change in the business operations over the last two to three years, we do not consider a review of the historical financial performance of the Company (other than that discussed above) relevant for the purposes of our evaluation of the Proposed Acquisitions.

4 Market overview and recent sales activity
The assets underlying the Interests have exposure to the Victorian (in the case of the Yang Land) and Brisbane (in the case of The Milton) property markets and therefore, set out in this section is our analysis of those markets.
4.1 Victorian residential housing market overview
Despite recent challenges, there are growing signs that the Victorian economy is improving. Low interest rates are providing support to consumer spending and the housing sector. Additionally, a weaker Australian dollar is also alleviating Victoria’s trade-exposed sectors. After growth of 1.6% in 2012-13, the pace of growth in Victoria is expected to remain below trend in 2013-14, but to pick up in 2014-15 as low interest rates take further effect and provide support to the broader Victorian economy.
Strong population growth, low interest rates and improved affordability should continue to support house prices in Melbourne. After estimated growth of around 7% in 2013, we expect moderate growth in Melbourne house prices in 2014. The upswing in house prices should keep residential construction activity at an elevated level.
Soft conditions in the labour market have resulted in a gradual rise in Victoria’s unemployment rate. An improvement in business confidence and a pickup in economic activity should eventually result in greater hiring activity. However, the modest pace of jobs growth is likely to continue into early next year. Therefore, we are likely to see the unemployment rate edge higher and peak some time mid this year.
The Bank of Melbourne Survey of Business Trends and Prospects indicates that businesses are much more confident about the outlook. Of respondents surveyed in the September quarter, 32% expect the Victorian outlook to strengthen in the coming year, up 15% on the June quarter. Additionally, a lower proportion of respondents are expecting the Victorian economy to weaken down from 34% in the June quarter to 17% in the September quarter.
Housing
Housing markets across Australian capital cities and Melbourne have gained momentum over the past year and house prices are now in a clear upswing. According to RP Data-Rismark, dwelling prices in Melbourne gained 6.6% in the year to November 2013. The annual pace of growth in average house prices over the period from 2012-13 positioned Melbourne as the third best performing among capital cities, behind Sydney and Perth. By comparison, Australia-wide, capital city average dwelling price growth rose 8.0% in the year to November 2013. The Australian Bureau of Statistics measure of house prices also grew by a similar amount for Melbourne. House prices gained 6.8% in the year to the September quarter, the third consecutive quarter of positive annual growth. Investors have been a significant driver of housing demand across Australia and in Victoria.
However, owner occupier demand is also strengthening. Financing for owner-occupier housing in Victoria witnessed double-digit annual growth for four consecutive months to October. Owner occupiers are benefiting from improved housing affordability. According to the HIA-CBA housing affordability report, housing affordability is at its highest in several years in both Victoria and Melbourne.
The exception has been first-home buyers, which as a proportion of all dwellings financed fell 11.7%, a record low in September 2013. The end of the first-home buyers’ grant for established homes in Victoria will be partially offset by a discount in stamp duty for first home buyers for interests valued up to $600,000. A 40% reduction in stamp duty took effect from 1 July 2013 (previously 30%) and 50% in from 1 September 2014. The discounts have been progressively increased since 1 July 2011 and continue to apply to first-home buyers of established homes.
Dwelling investment
Residential dwelling investment (i.e. construction of residential dwellings) in Victoria has softened this year. Dwelling investment has slowed from annual growth of 7.4% in the year to the December quarter 2012 to an annual pace of 0.2% in the year to the September 2013 in Victoria. However, the slowdown in part reflects a return to more sustainable levels of activity. Rising house prices should, however, keep residential construction activity at healthy levels. Building approvals have stabilised at a level above the long-range average, suggesting that relatively high levels of residential building activity should be sustained. Recent changes to first-home buyers’ incentives favouring newly constructed homes may provide some support to residential building over the next year. However, dwelling investment may not provide as large a contribution to growth in Victoria in comparison to other States.

Outlook
The outlook for the Melbourne property market is positive with the following key factors contributing to this:
-
consumer confidence increasing
-
lending rates hitting record lows
-
established house prices increasing
-
migration flows exceeding thresholds.
4.1.1 Point Cook market overview
The Point Cook property market generally comprises new and emerging residential subdivisions providing lots between 300 square meters (m[2] ) and 800m[2] . The majority of the current supply is sized between 300m[2] and 500m[2] with a steady volume of sales occurring over the past 12 months. A map of Point Cook is presented below.

4.2 Brisbane residential unit market overview
Brisbane’s inner city apartment market remained stable over the fourth quarter of 2013, recording slightly higher volumes of unconditional transactions than the previous quarter. Underlying fundamentals have been supportive of the inner Brisbane apartment market due to the low interest rate environment, firming rents, low vacancy levels and a preference for inner city living amongst a range of other demographics which has led to increased sales demand for inner city apartments.
Notably, apartments made up 95% of all approvals in the third quarter of 2013 for inner Brisbane. Investors have remained the most active participants in the market, however reports from marketing agents have indicated increased levels of enquiries from owner occupiers as more positive sentiment enters the residential sector.

Developers and marketing agents alike are reporting interstate buyers have identified Brisbane as a desirable investment opportunity as price growth in Sydney and Melbourne has eroded gross yields in these markets. Should the southern capitals, Sydney in particular, sustain current levels of price growth, investors will be further incentivised by the returns currently being offered in the Brisbane market.
Pricing has remained largely unchanged over the past 12 months, with a weighted average sale price of approximately $532,900, falling 4% from the previous quarter, however only reduced 1% from the same corresponding period in 2012. This decline is largely attributable to a higher proportion of one bedroom apartment sales over the quarter. On an annualised basis, the weighted average sale price was approximately $531,100. The type of apartments remaining for sale across existing projects suggest the quarterly weighted average sale price may experience some uplift in coming quarters.

4.2.1 Inner west precinct
Activity has gained momentum across the inner west precinct, where The Milton is located, as new projects released throughout the 2013 financial year lifted the volume of unconditional sales. It is estimated that approximately 264 apartments remain available for sale in the inner west which includes the subject development. Rolling annual sales to the third quarter of 2013 were approximately 243, more than double the five year average.
There was limited change in the annualised weighted average sale price, recorded at $559,800 in the third quarter of 2013, 6% greater than the inner Brisbane average. A higher proportion of two bedroom apartment sales priced between $550,000 and $650,000 resulted in an increase to the average sale price. With the release of over 560 apartments in 2013, the future development pipeline has somewhat diminished. A summary of the major Brisbane Inner West developments is presented below.

4.2.2 Development sites market overview
The residential development site market within the Brisbane CBD improved over the 2013 financial year, with increased levels of transaction activity. The market is being predominantly operated on a local level, driven by highly experienced developers reacting to market opportunities and the ultimate buyer profile. There has been a growing demand for purchases from interstate investors and some interest from international purchasers, however transactions are limited.
A preference is being shown for small to moderate sized redevelopment sites (i.e. 70 to 100 units) that have strong underlying property fundamentals (location, building design, marketability, etc.) whilst also providing a reasonable degree of holding income in place to cover holding costs prior to re-development. Large, vacant sites with no income are attracting the least interest and the reduced number of willing participants has placed a greater downward pressure on the buyer’s perception of value/price than perhaps other asset classes or property segments.
Large infill sites are affected by a broader price ceiling being approximately $10 million due to the capacity of local groups to obtain funding. The ability to source funds from outside the region or secure syndicated funding is typically required. Larger sites are more vulnerable to limited market participation, low price expectations for unconditional and short term contracts and potentially longer and more intensive marketing campaigns to secure higher values and to conclude an effective sale.
Outside of specific projects that fill an immediate known demand for specific end user requirements, the market for development sites is generally weak. The weight of risk that purchasers are placing on sales/pre-lease timeframes and approvals has increased significantly. This is resulting in longer negotiation periods and purchaser due diligence.
With more positive sentiment evident within the broader residential sector, we anticipate the residential site market will continue to improve over 2014.
Based on the most recent Place Market Report Inner Brisbane Apartments (September quarter of 2013), there is approximately 7.3 months remaining supply of residential apartments in Brisbane.

| Milton Station Neighbourhood Plan prevails. | ||
| | The property is located in Precinct 2 - Mixed Use Residential. | |
| | The Mixed Use Residential Precinct is located within easy walking distance of Milton Railway Station | |
| and will accommodate primarily residential uses, with some retail and commercial uses, in a high | ||
| density environment. | ||
| | Retail and commercial activities will occur in the lower levels of residential buildings fronting Railway | |

Note:
There is a discrepancy between the approved plans and current pricing and sales matrix. We have been advised by the developer that this is due to a number of unit types being recently reconfigured, with the architectural plans to be amended based on the pricing/sales matrix. This valuation is based on the critical condition that any variances on the approved plans are amended and approved in accordance with the current sales and pricing matrix. We reserve the right to amend our valuation accordingly.
Set out in Appendix D are illustrative layouts of the floors relating to the residential units.

6.4.2 Other agreements
We have been provided with various agreements related to The Milton. These are detailed as follows:
-
infrastructure agreement – Milton railway station project
-
instrument of agreement – Construction contract
Deloitte : PBD Developments Limited – Independent expert’s report and Financial Services Guide
Page 44
- management rights sale agreement.
We are advised by PBD and Aveo Group that these agreements are commercially sensitive and are subject to confidentiality limitations that restrict the respective parties (including subsidiaries of Aveo Group) from publicly disclosing details of the agreements. These agreements have been reviewed by us and considered in our assessment of value of The Milton.
For information purposes, we note the following:
-
the construction contract is with an established commercial builder who has previously undertaken projects of the scale and complexity of the subject and is considered to have the ability to complete the requirements of the contract
-
the management rights sale agreement is for the sale of the management rights to the complex (upon completion) and is to an experienced international hotel owner, operator and investor with a significant international portfolio of rooms in hotels, resorts and serviced suites.
Overall we consider that the construction risk associated with the project is significantly reduced. The builder is one of the leading apartment builders in Queensland and is highly experienced in multi-level apartment projects such as the subject. Based on the project having a fixed price contract, there is unlikely to be any major variations in price, unless there are specific redesign needs of the project, which we consider would be unlikely or minimal.
6.5 SWOT analysis
A SWOT analysis for The Milton is presented in the table below.

| Strengths | Weaknesses | ||

| | The project provides good retail and public transport amenity | ||

-
There are approximately 150 units currently being marketed for sale in the immediate area covering three new residential projects (excluding the subject). This provides buyers with a wide choice of product and competition to the subject development. However, we note that the majority of units being marketed for sale within the location and wider city fringe are one and two bedroom units priced sub $650,000 whilst approximately 82% of unsold stock within the subject development is priced above circa $750,000

The development incorporates 1,150m of commercial office accommodation on level 2 of the building.

We do note that a number of other new residential developments currently being marketed are offering similar incentives to the subject project

Sales prices achieved to date are at the high end of the market range to the extent buyers are seeking finance from the purchaser, there may be issues in obtaining end buyer valuation support for finance.

7 Valuation of the Yang Land
7.1 Valuation methodology
The value of the Yang Land has been assessed by using the residual cash flow approach. This methodology involves working back from the assessed gross realisation of the project (i.e. sales proceeds of the sale of the end lots) to establish the residual value of the property after the costs associated with the project (including development costs and financing costs and an appropriate development profit) have been deducted. The development profit is based on industry benchmarks and takes into account the various risks associated with the project including market and construction risk.
The gross realisation of the residential lots on an individual sale basis has been assessed by the direct comparison approach, whereby sales of similar product are directly compared to the subject to establish a present day fair market value.
Our valuation using the residual cash flow approach has been cross-checked using the direct comparison approach. The direct comparison approach in this instance involves applying a value rate to the selected unit of comparison, which in this case is a rate per hectare of site area and rate per proposed lot, with the adopted value rate derived from the analysis of comparable sales evidence.
The relative merits of the subject property and each of the comparable sales are analysed and compared having regard to matters such as location, aspect, topography and its effect on development, the size of the land and the scale of the development, conditions of the development consent and relativity of time to current market conditions. The direct comparison approach contains a high degree of value judgement when sites are not directly comparable in one or a number of variables.
7.2 Gross realisation estimate
Based on the sales evidence as detailed at Appendix E, we have assessed the gross realisation for the residential lots ‘as if complete’ on an individual sale basis compared to the competing estates as follows. The Subject marker is our estimated range for the Yang Land lots:

The gross realisation of the subject units ‘as if complete’ on an individual sale basis is assessed at $57,515,000 (inclusive of GST), with an average value of $209,145 per lot.
We consider the individual values of the lots achievable at our assessed valuations given a reasonable selling period and appropriate marketing campaign, with an agent suitably experienced in the project marketing of developments of this nature in a professional manner.
7.3 Sales rate
We have researched sales rates of comparable projects throughout Point Cook which generally demonstrated a range of 4 to 8 lots per month on an average calendar year.
Based on the quality and location of the subject estate we have adopted a sales rate of circa 6 lots per month.
7.4 Development timing

7.7 Residual cash flow summary
We have utilised Estate Master software Version 5.30 in order to calculate the residual cash flow results. We have assessed a market value range of $17.5 million to $18.5 million, however, for the purposes of our analysis have adopted the mid-point of $18.0 million. A summary of the cash flow analysis is detailed as follows.

We have assumed the project is fully debt financed in line with standard industry practice for the valuation of this type of property.
7.8 Requisite returns
Typical return on cost hurdle rates for property development projects are generally considered to be in the order of 15% to 30% depending on the nature of the project, the location, the stage in the development lifecycle, the degree to which approvals have been achieved and the overall risk profile of the project.
Given the risk profile of the proposed development and estimated development horizon of approximately 48 months, we have assessed a target development margin after interest at the lower end of the market range of 17.5% to 20.0% and a target internal rate of return (IRR) before interest of circa 17.5%.
These are considered to be adequate hurdle rates, on the basis of our critical assumption that the development approval is in place and given that construction work has commenced, the size of the project and the current strength of the market to absorb the proposed stock within the estimated selling period.

7.10 Cross check - direct comparison approach
Based on the residual cash flow analysis, the site value ‘as is’ with Development Approval for the proposed development scheme, is assessed at $17.5 million to $18.5 million, however for the purposes of our analysis we have adopted a mid-point of $18.0 million. This equates to $1,255,230 per hectare of site area and $65,455 per lot.
We have detailed the sales evidence against our assessment (mid-point of $18.0 million) of the subject property value in the following graphs (detailed information on the comparable sales is set out in Appendix E):

8 Valuation of The Milton
8.1 Valuation methodology
The market value of the site ‘as is’ with development approval for the proposed development scheme, benefit of presales and costs expended to date has been assessed by residual cash flow analysis. Due to the advanced stage of the project with construction commenced, we have utilised the Residual Cash flow Approach as the primary method of valuation. This methodology involves working back from the indicative gross realisation estimate of the project to establish the residual value of the property after the costs associated with the project (including development costs, financing costs and an appropriate development profit) have been deducted. The development profit is based on industry benchmarks and takes into account the various risks associated with the project including market and construction risk.
In undertaking the residual cash flow analysis, we have determined an indicative gross realisation estimate for the residential, retail and commercial accommodation within the development, including the value of the management rights. The gross realisation estimate of the residential units ‘as if complete’ on an individual sale basis has been assessed using the direct comparison approach, wherein the relative merits of the proposed units and each of the sales are analysed and compared having regard to matters such as location, aspect, size, quality of improvements and the relativity of time to current market conditions. Based on this analysis, a value expressed as a rate per square metre of gross saleable area (GSA) is derived for application to the subject units.
The gross realisation estimate of the retail and commercial units has been assessed by capitalisation approach and crosschecked against the direct comparison approach. The capitalisation approach has been effected by applying a marketderived capitalisation rate to the assessed net annual market rent to establish the property’s core investment value (fully leased at current market rents) and then making ‘below the line’ adjustments for the property’s individual investment characteristics, including rental reversions, outstanding abatements, future incentives, et cetera. The direct comparison approach is a cross check whereby the integrity of the values arrived at through the two primary approaches is tested through comparison on a capital value basis, i.e. per square metre of lettable area.
The realisation estimate for the management rights has been assessed by direct comparison approach on a rate per total number of units and a rate per unit in the letting pool.
8.2 Gross realisation estimate
8.2.1 Residential component
Based on the sales evidence as detailed in Appendix G, we have assessed an indicative gross realisation estimate for the unsold residential units ‘as if complete’ on an individual sale basis as presented below.
Table 36: Summary of the residential component
| **Unit type ** | Number | Internal area(m 2) |

We consider the price points achieved on the unconditional sales are high in comparison to competing unit stock and above the majority of competing sales evidence. However, given that approximately 75% of the stock has been sold, there is supporting evidence of market acceptance at the higher price points; however this will require valuation support at settlement which is considered a project risk.
Deloitte : PBD Developments Limited – Independent expert’s report and Financial Services Guide
Page 54
The gross realisation estimate of the subject units ‘as if complete’ on an individual sale basis is assessed at $191,127,913 (inclusive of GST), with an average value of $630,785 per unit. This reflects a pro rata value of $7,658 per square metre of the GSA.
We consider the individual values of the units are saleable at our assessed valuations given a reasonable selling period and appropriate marketing campaign, with an agent suitably experienced in the project marketing of developments of this nature in a professional like manner.
8.2.2 Retail component
We provide the following net rental assessment for the retail units within the development as follows having regard to the evidence at Appendix H:
Table 37: net lettable assessment - rental component

| Total | 1,121 | 711,803 | ||||
| Average | 224 | 745 | 84 | 661 | 142,361 |
Source: Deloitte Corporate Finance
The adopted rentals show an average net rental range of $566 per square metre to $741 per square metre of NLA. This reflects a blended net rental rate of $661 per square metre net across the retail component.
Based on the evidence at Appendix H, we have adopted a capitalisation rate of 8.50% for the retail component. This is considered appropriate given the risk associated in securing suitable food related operators as proposed and to achieve the benchmark rents for these target tenancies. We have also allowed for a 20% incentive across the tenancies based on a 7 year term, which equates to a total incentive of $835,145. This has been provisioned as a development cost within the project feasibility. Accordingly, we provide the following assessment.
Table 38: Valuation assessment of retail component
| Adopted net annual market income | $711,803 |
|---|---|
| Adopted capitalisation rate | 8.50% |
| Value as calculated | $8,374,153 |
| Value as rounded | $8,375,000 |
Source: Deloitte Corporate Finance
The adopted value of $8,375,000 (excluding GST) reflects a blended pro rata value of $7,471 per square metre of NLA.
8.2.3 Commercial component
The lease evidence set out at Appendix I displays a gross rental range of between $400/m² to $515/m² per square metre of NLA.
We have been provided with an estimated outgoings budget for the commercial component of $96,600 per annum. This reflects $84 per square metre of NLA. It should be noted that mixed use developments such as the subject traditionally have higher outgoings budgets than standard commercial buildings. The adopted outgoings are considered to lie at the lower end of market parameters.

Based on the above, we provide the following net rental assessment for the commercial component within the subject property, below.

Source: Deloitte Corporate Finance
The sales evidence in Appendix I displays an initial yield range of 7.25% to 11.24%, an equivalent yield range of 8.78% to 11.32% and a rate per square metre of NLA range of $1,934 to $4,307.
Discussions with agents active in the fringe office market indicate the market has deteriorated significantly over the past 12 months due to Government austerity measures and a slow-down in mining sector expansion. Vacancy levels in the fringe are reported at circa 12%, however this figure is likely to be a lot higher given the significant amount of sub-lease space entering the market which is not being accurately recorded. This has resulted in a high degree of competition between developer’s to secure commercial tenants with incentive levels currently in the order of 30%, and as high as 40% in some instances.
Commercial strata units located in predominantly residential mixed-use developments have limited appeal to investors, with the majority of owner occupiers seeking tenancy areas sub 200 m2. We note the current building design configures the commercial component into two circa 600 m2 tenancies, with each tenancy provided with separate entry and amenities. We also note the approval allows for indoor sport and recreation use. We consider a gymnasium would be suitable for part of this area.
We have been advised that up to ten car parks will be provided to the commercial component. Based on the maximum number of car parks to be provided, the car park ratio is 1:115.
Based on the above, we have adopted a capitalisation rate of 9.5% for the commercial component. This is considered appropriate given the sales and leasing risk. We have also allowed for a 30% incentive across the tenancies based on a 5 year term, which equates to a total incentive of $793,500. This has been provisioned as a development cost within the project feasibility.
Accordingly, we provide the following assessment.

The adopted value of $4,550,000 (excluding GST) reflects a pro rata value of $3,957 per square metre of NLA.
8.2.4 Management rights
We have been provided with a copy of the management rights agreement dated 14 November 2012 for The Milton. We are advised by PBD that this agreement is subject to confidentiality agreements that limit the ability of either party to disclose details of the agreements. Accordingly, we have not presented specific details of the management rights sale agreement; however we have reviewed and considered the agreement in our assessment of the value of The Milton’s management rights.
Deloitte : PBD Developments Limited – Independent expert’s report and Financial Services Guide
Page 56
We have not been provided with a current detailed summary of the buyer profile for the pre-sold units within the development, however based on discussions with the marketing agent (360 project marketing), coupled with historical sales information provided by Aveo Group, we have concluded approximately 70% of the units have been sold to investors, with the balance owner occupiers. Refer to Appendix J for an analysis of comparable management rights agreements.
We have determined approximately 215 units will be included in the letting pool. This equates to circa 71% of total units within the project. We have assessed the value of the management rights at $4,715,000 (excluding GST). This equates to $15,561 per total number of units or $21,930 per unit in the letting pool.
8.3 Sales rate
We have been advised that official marketing on the project commenced mid-2010. A sales summary schedule has been provided which identifies 228 unconditional pre-sales to date, with a further nine pre-sales in various stages of negotiation. The units have been purchased by a mix of owner occupiers and investors, both, local, interstate and international. There is circa 65 overseas buyers to date, which represents approximately 32 percent of pre-sold stock.
We have tabulated the unconditional pre-sales on a per year basis as follows.
Table 41: Summary of unconditional pre-sales per year
| Year | Number of units |
Value($) | Average $/unit | $/m 2 |
net | $/m 2gross |

The above table reflects an overall sales rate of 5.43 units per month; however the 2010 financial year sales do not factor in soft marketing prior to the official launch and is based on a 6 month period (half year period). This has inflated the project sales rate. Further, a large proportion of stock sold over this period is in the lower priced brackets. We have adopted an overall sales rate of 3 units per month which includes the 20 month construction period and a post construction sales/settlement period of 3 months.

Notes:
The adopted costs have been reconciled between the project cashflow and work in progress schedule (i.e. cost to complete) provided by Aveo Group.
1. Acquisition costs comprise estimated costs associated with the transaction.
2. Construction costs are on a cost to complete basis and include contract price variations less costs expended to date and a construction contingency.
3. Council fees and infrastructure charges are on a cost to complete basis.
4. Holding costs include rates and and land tax.
5. Miscellaneous costs include contribution to Aveo Group’s personnel costs to the project (as per agreement) and retail and commercial incentives.
6. Professional fees are on cost to complete basis and excludes professional fees included within the construction contract.
- Selling costs for residential units on cost to complete basis. This includes commissions on balance payments of pre-sold units, unsold stock, retail and commercial units and on the management rights sale. Selling costs also include sale related legal costs.
An estimate of construction costs and work in progress schedule provided by Aveo Group, and post our reconciliation, show a total development cost (excluding interest) of $110,850,322 (exclusive of GST), which equates to $3,956 per square metre of gross floor area and $365,842 per unit (excluding the retail/commercial units).
8.6 GST
In regard to the subject project, we have been advised by the developer that it will be registered under the general tax rule. Accordingly, the developer must remit 1/11th of the gross realisations for the residential component. We have estimated the potential GST liability at 9.1% of the residential gross realisation being $17,375,265.

Based on the residual cash flow analysis, the project site value ‘as is’ with Development Approval for the proposed development scheme, benefit of pre-sales and costs expended to date, is assessed at between $43.0 million to $47.0 million, adopting the mid-point of the value range at $45.0 million for the purposes of the cash flow analysis. This equates to $12,730 per square metre of site area and $148,515 per unit, excluding the commercial and retail component.
We have assumed the project is fully debt financed in line with standard industry practice for the valuation of this type of property.
8.8 Requisite returns
It should be clearly recognised the proposed transaction is considered a unique situation in that the majority of project risks, including development approvals, construction costs and design, and pre-sales risk has been removed or substantially reduced. Hence, the risk rate analysis based on a typical development site transaction is different, with no current market sales evidence to benchmark against the subject. We consider the value of the site under this situation reflects a ‘project value’ based on the development costs expended to date and reduced risk profile of the overall project.
A typical residential or mixed use development would seek a return on cost in the order of 18% to 20% after interest, with an IRR before interest of circa 25% based on a two to three year development horizon. These return hurdles are based on a development site without the benefit of approvals, detailed design, pre-sales or locked in construction costs. Hence, the risk profile associated with the subject site is considered significantly less.
Typically, a developer or investor will accept a significantly lower return to acquire a site or enter into a development agreement or joint venture arrangement, whereby the project is significantly de-risked with approvals, fixed price construction contract secured and tenant pre-commitment in place or pre-sale hurdle thresholds being achieved (i.e. 70% of total stock). Target return hurdles for similar types of developments generally lie in the order of 14% to 15% return on cost, with an IRR of circa 17% to 18%. Based on discussion with industry participants, the IRR is considered the principle driver for benchmarking the potential return on investment for large scale developments such as the subject. In addition, we have also considered the returns sought on other property development vehicles that have substantial sales risk removed or reduced, i.e. large scale industrial with 100% pre-committed tenant, or neighbourhood retail centre with pre-committed Woolworths or Coles supermarket. These types of developments are seeing participants seek returns on costs between 12% and 15% due to the reduced sales risk.
We are of the opinion the subject development reflects a similar risk and return profile for a heavily de-risked project. On this basis, we consider an IRR before interest of 16% to 19% would be attractive to an investor, provided that the return on the cost was in excess of 12.5%.

9 Valuation of the consideration
In the following section we set out the consideration payable by PBD for the Yang Land and The Milton.
9.1 The Yang Land
Under the terms of the project delivery deed, PBD will pay a participation fee to Aveo Group determined as follows.
-
$100,000 on the date that the project delivery deed was executed on 3 December 2013
-
$1,700,000 within five business days of the conditions of the project delivery deed being satisfied. These conditions include, amongst others, obtaining approval from financiers, the Commonwealth Government and all necessary permits, consents and approvals from the relevant authorities. This is to be completed within 130 days from the execution of the project delivery deed
-
$1,700,000 within five business days of the date on which the plan of subdivision for Stage 1 is registered at Land Victoria
-
for each sale contract, $14,500,000 divided by the number of lots per sale contract, to a maximum of 242 lots
-
any outstanding amount 18 months after the execution of the project delivery deed.
In addition, the project delivery deed also grants to Aveo Group an option to sell to PBD any unsold parcels of land at the end of the 18 month period. The purchase price will be any outstanding amount owing to Aveo Group under the payment terms described above.
Accordingly, to determine the net present value of the consideration for the Yang Land, we have discounted the consideration assuming that the lots will be realised evenly over the 18 month period. To discount the Yang Land consideration, we have applied a discount rate of 7.0% based on the RBA published data with respect to lending rates for businesses and also the rates assumed in our valuation of the Yang Land.
Table 47: Net present value of the Yang Land consideration
| Months 1 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $’000 (unless otherwise stated) | Month 1 | Month 5 | to 18 | Total |
| On execution of the project delivery deed | 100 | 100 | ||
| 150 days after execution of the project delivery deed | 1,700 | 1,700 | ||
| Subdivision Stage 1 payment | 1,700 | 1,700 | ||
| Average monthly sales (per month) | 806 | 14,500 | ||
| Remaining amount | 1,700 | |||
| Total | 18,000 | |||
| Discount rate (%) | 7.0% | |||
| Net present value of consideration | 17,155 |

Based on the above analysis, we have assessed the net present value of the consideration for the Yang Land to be $17.2 million.
9.2 The Milton
Under the terms of the development agreement, PBD will pay a participation fee to Aveo Group determined as follows.
-
$100,000 on the date that the development agreement was executed on 6 January 2014
-
$22,200,000 on or before 15 June 2014, subject to Aveo Group complying with its obligations under the development agreement.
We note that in addition to the participation fee payable to Aveo Group, from 31 October 2013, PBD is required to contribute its share of construction costs incurred at The Milton.

Page 61
As the final payment is due six months after the execution of the development agreement, we do not consider the time value of money to be material and accordingly have not discounted the consideration for The Milton. On this basis, we have assumed consideration of $22.3 million for The Milton.

Appendix F: Comparable sales to the Yang Land
We have examined the most recent market activity for residential subdivision sites within the immediate area, having particular regard to the sales evidence below, which set the parameters by which the value of the subject site can be determined.
There have been limited sales of Interests in the immediate area with the majority of sales being subject to confidentiality clauses and hence we have been unable to confirm the exact detail of the sale. Due to the lack of recent comparable sales evidence we have utilised older sales for comparison purposes.
These sales are summarised as follows:

Source: PDS Live, Biggin Scott Land Note:
All sales above are exclusive of GST.
The above sales evidence reflects a wide range of values ranging between $785,714 to $1,304,167 per hectare and $35,000 to $104,333 per lot depending upon the location, zoning, development lead time and land size. Sales at the upper end of the range are zoned and ready for development, whilst those at the other end require a rezoning process to be undertaken. Average lot size proposed and therefore the number of proposed lots is a major factor in the analysed rate per lot with subdivisions comprising a high proportion of small lot product reflecting a low rate per proposed lot.
In comparison to the subject property, we have taken into account the following factors:
-
the site is part of an established estate
-
existing infrastructure in place reduces costs associated with the development of the balance of the estate
-
size of the land holding.

Pre-Sales at The Milton
In regard to the sales evidence, we consider the unconditional sales within the subject development are considered the best comparison for establishing the gross realisation estimate on the remaining unsold units.
We have been provided with a sales schedule for the development as at 28 January 2014, which records a total of 228 unconditional pre-sales since official marketing commenced in mid-2010, with a further 9 pre-sales in various stages of negotiation. This reflects approximately 75% of stock based on unconditional sales. For the purposes of the assessment, we have adopted the unconditional unit sales at the contracted prices. A summary of the unconditional sales by unit type is detailed as follows:

Source: Deloitte Corporate Finance Note: In some instances 1, 2 and 3 bedroom unit types include a study.
We consider the price points achieved on the unconditional sales are high in comparison to competing unit stock and above the majority of competing sales evidence. However, given that approximately 75% of the stock has been sold, there is supporting evidence of market acceptance at the higher price points; however this will require valuation support at settlement which is considered a project risk.
We also note the developer has increased the asking prices on the unsold units relative to the historical averages by between 9 and 14 per cent across product types. We do recognise however, that a number of the remaining units for sale in the development are of higher priced stock which is not uncommon for large scale mixed use developments such as the subject. The higher priced stock is generally sold to owner occupiers who require more certainty before committing to purchase. We anticipate these units will be progressively sold during the construction period.

Discussions with the marketing agent confirm that the initial contract offer was submitted at a year’s purchase factor of 4.30 times, based on the stated net income of $536,502, as calculated by the reviewing accountant for the vendor. This calculation did not take into consideration the affect a slightly lower net income would have on the building due to the number of National Rental Affordability Scheme units within the building, and the affect of the guarantee provisions required of the manager which were deemed to be very onerous. The terms and conditions of the guarantee for the National Rental Affordability Scheme units are considered to be the contributing factor to the reduction in the years purchase factor from an initial offer of 4.30 times to 4.11.
