5 DIRECTORS' REPORT 3 Review of operations (continued) iii) Property acquisitions In August 2015 the Trust acquired the Bell Central Shopping Centre at Mudgeeraba, QLD for $13,500,000. In October 2015 the Trust acquired a 50% interest in the 'The Rocket', a 16 level office building located in Robina, QLD for $35,025,000. In November 2015 the Trust entered into conditional contracts to purchase 3 commercial properties in Maroochydore, QLD for a combined $3,550,000 and a commercial property in Beenleigh, QLD for $11,200,000. In February 2016 the Trust decided to not proceed with these contracts and they have since been terminated. iv) Property sales In December 2015, the Trust entered into a conditional contract for the sale of The Rocks Shopping Fair for a consideration of $9,000,000. The sale settled on 1 February 2016 with the net proceeds being used to initially reduce borrowings. v) Property development The Trust continued the development of "Epiq" Lennox with Stage 1A and sportfields nearly completed and Stage 1B well underway. A sales campaign for the residential lots in Stage 1A commenced in August 2015 and all 51 lots are now subject to unconditional contracts with gross proceeds being $12,860,000. Settlements are expected to take place mid year 2016, once practical completion of the civil works and title registration has been finalised. vi) Other investments During the period the Trust acquired 4,825,000 units at $1.00 each in the LFP Investment Trust. At the date of this report that balance was 1,885,500 units. During the period September 2015 to March 2016 the Trust disposed of its entire holding of 7,738,711 shares at an average price of $1.55 each in the National Storage REIT (NSR). vii) Capital raising On 9 December 2015, the Trust issued a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) seeking to raise $20,000,000 through the issue of 25,316,456 units at $0.79 per unit. There is also capacity to accept oversubscriptions of a further 20,000,000 units at $0.79 each. At the date of this report $2,213,151 had been raised. Pursuant to the Distribution Reinvestment Plan, 713,930 units were issued at $0.65 per unit during the period. 4 Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Trust From 1 July 2015 the income tax treatment of the Trust has changed. The Trust is now treated as a Public Trading Trust (PTT) in accordance with Division 6C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 due to the Trust undertaking the "Epiq" Lennox residential land development. Consequently the Trust is now liable to pay income tax on its taxable income and distributions will now be in the form of dividends. As a result of this change in circumstance the Trust has recorded a oneoff adjustment in income tax expense of $5,958,649 relating to prior periods. In the opinion of the Directors there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Trust during the period under review, other than those stated in these statements. Page 4

13 1 Summary of significant accounting policies The financial statements cover Westlawn Property Trust (the "Trust") as an individual entity. The Trust is a registered managed investment scheme in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and is domiciled in Australia. Basis of preparation The financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected noncurrent assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Trust's functional and presentational currency. Statement of compliance A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are available for early adoption but have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The potential impact of the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations has been considered and they are not expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements. a) Investment property Investment property comprises investment interests in land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) held for the purpose of letting to produce rental income or for capital appreciation or both. Initially, investment property is measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is then stated at fair value at each balance date with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value of investment property recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which it arises. Fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties have each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. External independent valuations are commissioned at least once every three years or when the directors are of the opinion there has been a material movement in the market. Internal valuations are also undertaken by suitably experienced and qualified appraisers for those properties not externally valued at each balance date. The reported fair value of investment property reflects market conditions at the end of the reporting period. While this represents the best estimate as at the reporting date, actual sale prices achieved may be higher or lower than the most recent valuation. This is particularly relevant in periods of market illiquidity or uncertainty. Land & Buildings (including integral plant and equipment) which comprise the investment property are not depreciated. The carrying amount of investment properties includes components relating to lease incentives, leasing costs and receivables on rental income that have been recorded on a straight line basis Page 12

14 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) a) Investment property (continued) Transfers are made from investment property to inventories when, and only when, there is a change in use as evidenced by commencement of development with a view to sale. When an investment property is disposed of without development, it continues to be treated as an investment property until it is derecognised and does not treat it as inventory. Investment property is derecognised when disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of an investment property is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period of derecognition. Investment property also includes property under construction for future use as investment property. These are carried at fair value, or at cost where fair value cannot be reliably determined and the construction is incomplete. b) Operating leases investment property The minimum rental revenue of operating leases with fixed rental increases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, is recognised on a straightline basis. Revenue from other leases is recognised in accordance with the lease agreement, which is considered to best represent the pattern of service rendered through the provision of the leased asset. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straightline basis over the lease term. Lease incentives under operating leases may take the form of cash, rentfree periods, contributions to certain lessee costs, relocation costs and lessee or lessor owned fitouts and improvements. These incentives are capitalised as part of the carrying value of the investment property and amortised on a straightline basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of rental income. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment property. c) Inventories Where a property or asset is acquired for the purpose of undergoing redevelopment and subsequent resale or is in the process of production for such sale, it is treated as inventories. Inventories is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes acquisition, development and holding costs such as borrowing costs, rates and taxes. Holding costs incurred after the completion of the development are expensed. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Transfers are made from inventories to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use evidenced by commencement of an operating lease to another party. For a transfer from inventories to investment property, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which the transfer takes place. Page 13

15 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) d) Financial assets and liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Trust becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date the Trust commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs except where the instrument is classified at fair value through profit or loss in which case transaction costs are expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income immediately. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Amortised cost is calculated as: the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; less principal repayments; plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest rate method; and less any reduction for impairment. The effective interest rate method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at 'fair value through profit or loss' when they are either held for trading for the purpose of shortterm profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as noncurrent assets. iii) Financial liabilities Nonderivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Page 14

16 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) d) Financial assets and liabilities (continued) Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid price for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities including recent arm s length transactions, reference to similar instruments or option pricing models. Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the Trust assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised by transferring all valuation decrements recognised in equity relating to a particular investment to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual right to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the Trust no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of noncash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. e) Derivative financial instruments The Trust is exposed to changes in interest rates and enters into interest rate swap agreements to convert certain variable interest rate borrowings to fixed interest rates. The swaps are entered into with the objective of hedging the risk of adverse interest rate fluctuations. While the Manager has determined that these arrangements are economically effective, they have not satisfied the documentation, designation and effectiveness tests required by Australian Accounting Standards and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Fair value at reporting date is calculated to be the present value of the estimated future cash flows of these instruments. The two key variables used in the valuation are the forward price curve and discount rates. Each instrument is discounted at the market interest rate appropriate to the instrument. Derivative financial instruments are classified as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. f) Impairment of assets At the end of each reporting period, the Trust assesses whether there is any indication an asset may be impaired. The assessment includes considering external and internal sources of information. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset (being the higher of the asset s fair value less costs to sell or value in use) to the asset s carrying value. Any excess of the asset s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Trust estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Page 15

17 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) g) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Trust has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within shortterm borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position. i) Revenue and other income Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend & trust distribution revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend or trust distribution has been established. Investment property revenue is recognised on a straightline basis over the period of the lease term so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment (refer to note 1b). j) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Trust during the reporting period, which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. k) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Borrowing costs, except loan establishment costs, are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they are incurred. Loan establishment costs are capitalised and amortised over the term of the facility to which they relate, or five years, whichever is shorter. Page 16

18 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) l) Taxation i) Income Tax Under current Australian income tax legislation, the Trust is liable to income tax as it is classified as a Public Trading Trust. The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. ii) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the Tax Office is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from or payable to the Tax Office, is classified as operating cash flows.

19 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) m) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The Responsible Entity evaluates estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Trust. Key Estimates The Trust assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluation of conditions and events specific to the Trust that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using valueinuse calculations, which incorporate various key assumptions. Key judgements Information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements is described in the following note: Note 12 Investment property.

30 24 Financial instruments a) Financial risk management The Trust has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: Credit risk Liquidity risk Market risk (interest rate risk & equity price risk). i) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Trust if a customer or counterpart to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Trust's receivables from tenants and investment in Trade and other receivables The Trust's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each purchaser. The Trust has a diverse range of tenants and therefore there is no significant concentration of credit risk, either by nature of industry or geographically. Investment in securities The Trust limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities or securities that have fixed term durations. ii) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Trust's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Trust's reputation. The Trust has liquidity risk management policies, which assist in monitoring cash flow requirements. Typically the Trust ensures it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses and commitments for a period of 90 days, including the servicing of financial obligations. Cash on demand is defined as cash held or unutilised borrowing facilities. The Trust also ensures that as far as practicable, sufficient borrowing facilities are approved for a minimum of 3 years. iii) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Trust's income or value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Trust enters into financial liabilities in order to manage market risks. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rate. The Trust has a guideline that 7090% of its exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is hedged through entering into fixed rate bills or interest rate swaps. Additionally the Trust may hold interest rate caps to provide further protection should extreme unforeseen circumstances arise. Equity securities price risk The Trust is exposed to equity securities price risk. The key risk variable is the quoted price of stocks which is influenced by a range of factors, most of which are outside the control of the Trust. The Trust only invests in securities that are primarily backed by real property assets. Page 29

33 24 Financial instruments (continued) Sensitivity analysis Interest rate risk represents the effect of a change in interest rates applied to the interest rate risk exposures at reporting date, including the estimated change in the value of derivative financial instruments that are carried at fair value. Cash and floating rate debt at reporting date are multiplied by the reasonably possible change in interest rates to determine the effect on profit for the financial year. The Trust's derivative financial instruments whose carrying values are affected by changes in interest rates are interest rate swaps. In calculating the change in value of interest rate swaps, a change in interest rates at reporting date is assumed to result in a parallel shift in the forward yield curve. A change in interest rates of up to 100 basis points (1%) is considered to be reasonably possible in the current economic environment. An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased equity and profit or loss by $3,544,762 (June 2015: an increased of $4,552,872); an equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased equity and profit or loss by $3,544,762 (June 2015: a decreased of $4,552,872). e) Equity securities price risk The Trust has exposure of $799,672 to equity investments listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. For these investments a 10 percent increase in their market value at the reporting date would have increased equity and profit and loss by $79,967 (June 2015: $1,296,234); an equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased equity and profit and loss by $79,967 (June 2015: $1,296,234). f) Fair values The net fair values of listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date. For other assets and other liabilities net fair value approximates their carrying value and is determined from observable market data (directly or indirectly). No financial assets or financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form other than listed investments. The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and in the notes to the financial statements. 25 Trust details The principal place of business is 2/75 Tamar Street Ballina NSW and its principal activity is investing in commercial rental properties.
