Steady year finishes with dividend maintained



Asset Plus Limited is pleased to announce its financial results for the year ended 31 March 2019, reporting

net profit after tax of $3.80 million, up from $3.095 million in the previous year.


Operating performance over the past year was steady on a like for like basis for the three existing assets.

When combined with the effect of the sale of the AA Centre in July 2018, this resulted in adjusted funds

from operations

1

decreasing to $4.74 million for the year compared to $6.15 million in the previous year.

This decrease was due to an underutilised balance sheet following the sale of the AA Centre but partially

offset by savings from the externalisation of management.


Asset Plus Chairman, Bruce Cotterill said “The last 12 months has been a period of ongoing transition for

the company, including the change to an external manager, Augusta Funds Management, but also the shift

in focus to a value-add strategy. The first step in implementing that strategy has now been taken with the

35 Graham St acquisition. Our patience has been rewarded with what we consider to be a quality

acquisition and we look forward to discussing this further with shareholders at the special meeting on 17

June 2019.”


Other key points from the year are:


• A final dividend of 0.9 cents per share has been declared, maintaining dividends for the 2019

financial year at 3.6 cents per share.

• Portfolio occupancy is 96.7% which is reduced from 97.4% due to the sale of AA Centre.

• The WALT is 5.5 years which is increased from 4.4 years at 31 March 2018 due to the 8 year

Countdown renewal at Eastgate, the sale of AA Centre and leasing completed at Stoddard Road.

• Loan to value ratio is 8.5% (26.6% at 31 March 2018).

• Net tangible assets (NTA) of 69.4 cents per share are reduced from 70.6 cps due to an unrealised

loss on revaluation of investment property and a realised loss on disposal.

• $34 million of debt was repaid post the AA Centre sale, providing balance sheet capacity. Interest

rate swap contracts were also cancelled.





1

Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) is non-GAAP financial information and is a common investor metric, calculated based on

guidance issued by the Property Council of Australia. Asset Plus considers that AFFO is a useful measure for shareholders and

management because it assists in assessing the Company’s underlying operating performance. This non-GAAP financial

information does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial

information prescribed by other entities. A reconciliation of the net profit after tax to AFFO is included in the accompanying results

presentation. The independent auditors have confirmed that the AFFO calculations have been fairly extracted from the audited

Group financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019.


Strategic update


The Board is committed to growing the portfolio in a disciplined manner, with a primary focus to close the

gap between share price and NTA.


The proposed 35 Graham Street acquisition fits within Asset Plus’ “value-add” investment strategy. The

purchase price represents a strong initial yield of 6.85% but the property has considerable potential for re-

positioning at the end of the two-year lease term. Potential re-development options range from a simple

refurbishment and re-leasing of the existing floors through to the addition of a further two to three levels

of office space. A notice of meeting to vote on the proposed acquisition has also been released today.


An off market approach to acquire the Heinz Watties’ property has recently been received and a period of

exclusivity has been granted for the purposes of due diligence. A further announcement will be made

following the expiry of the exclusivity period if a sale and purchase agreement is entered into. The

potential effect of this sale is discussed further in the notice of meeting released today.


The Board remains patient in the current market to ensure Asset Plus finds the best investments which it

believes provide appropriate risk-adjusted returns and align with the new strategy.


Portfolio update


Seven lease renewals were completed at Stoddard Road, covering 21.5% of the rental income. As a result,

the WALT for the property increased to 4.02 years (from 3.76 a year ago) and the valuation increased to

$39.5 million (from $38.0 million a year ago).


The Heinz Watties Distribution Centre in Hastings saw an increase in valuation to $29.1 million following a

rent review during the year (from $27.3 million a year ago). There remains 7.9 years to run on the lease to

Heinz.


Countdown has exercised a 4 year right of renewal (RoR). A further 4 year RoR has been agreed subject to

payment of the landlord contribution towards works within the tenancy. This contribution has been

accrued in FY19. Other key lease renewals during the year include Postie Plus, Paper Plus, Sushi Time,

Number One Shoes and Westpac. However, two tenants (NZ Post and McDonalds) also left the Centre. As

a result the WALT was 5.07 years (up from 4.70 years) and the valuation decreased from $58 million to

$54.5 million.


Financial result

Net profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2019 is $3.80 million ($3.095 million in the prior year).

The prior year was impacted by larger portfolio valuation write-downs and losses on disposal. Adjusted

funds from operations

2

for the year were $4.74 million ($6.15 million in the prior year). The reduction in

operating earnings was driven by the sale of the AA Centre, offset against reduced funding costs and lower

corporate costs under external management. There was also an increase in leasing incentives payable.


Net revenues from the property portfolio have again been flat with no material rental growth in respect to

the like for like portfolio. Net rental income reduced by $2.55 million primarily due to the impact of



property divestment (AA Centre in July 2018 and 17 Print Place in March 2018). The income reduction was

offset against a reduction in funding costs of $1.74 million as $34 million of debt was repaid and the facility

limit reduced from $70 million to $20 million.


Administration costs reduced due to the impact of externalisation and the property divestments.


A loss on revaluation of investment property of $1.77 million was recorded, driven primarily by a reduction

in the market rental at Eastgate, partially offset by growth at Stoddard Rd and Heinz.


A formal agreement has now been reached with the purchaser of the AA Centre to complete the

outstanding stairwell works and a loss on disposal of $0.91 million has been recorded for the year.


Balance Sheet


Debt is currently drawn to $10.5 million which represents a LVR of 8.5% (26.6% in the prior year). Gearing

is expected to increase to 38% post the 35 Graham Street acquisition.


NTA is now 69.4 cents per share (down from 70.6 cps in the pcp) driven by the unrealised revaluation loss

as well as the realised loss on disposal of AA Centre.


Interest rate swap contracts were terminated during the year as $34 million of debt was repaid on the

back of the AA Centre divestment.


Dividend


A final quarter dividend of 0.9 cents per share has been declared, with the record date set for 13 June

2019 and payment on 20 June 2019.


Total dividends paid for the year are 3.60 cents per share which is consistent with guidance.


The dividend is subject to quarterly review, and ongoing assessment taking into account potential future

acquisitions, balance sheet utilisation and funding for future developments.

















Outlook


The potential acquisition of 35 Graham Street fits with the value-add strategy and restores near term

earnings as the balance sheet is more effectively utilised. Management will remain focused on securing

further acquisition opportunities and continue to identify opportunities to optimise the existing assets.


The Board is pleased with Augusta’s performance as manager and the progress they have made on

formulating and executing a new strategy for the Company. The ultimate aim is to provide sustainable

growth in total return for shareholders over the longer term.

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements

1. Corporate Information

The consolidated financial statements comprise of

Asset Plus Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiary

(collectively the “Group”).

The company is a limited liability company incorporated

and domiciled in New Zealand whose shares are listed

on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. The Company is

an FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013. The registered office is located in

Level 2, Bayley’s House, 30 Gaunt Street, Wynyard

Quarter, Auckland.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the

Group are investing in industrial, retail and commercial

property in New Zealand.

2. Summary of Significant

Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been

prepared in accordance with generally accepted

accounting practice in New Zealand (“NZ GAAP”), the

Companies Act 1993, the requirements set out in section 7

of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Main

Board Listing Rules of the NZX. The consolidated financial

statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,

except for investment properties and derivative financial

instruments which have been measured at fair value.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in

New Zealand dollars and all values are rounded to the

nearest thousand dollars ($’000), except where

otherwise indicated.

The consolidated financial statements have been

prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern.

(b) Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements comply with New

Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (‘NZ IFRS’) and International Financial Reporting

Standards (‘IFRS’) as appropriate for a profit-oriented entity

that falls into the Tier 1 for profit category as determined

by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board.

Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with

those of the previous financial year, except where new

accounting standards which have been issued and are

effective for the current reporting period, or which are

issued but not yet effective and may be early adopted,

have been adopted for the first time. Certain comparative

information has been reclassified to conform with the

current year’s presentation.

The Group has adopted the accounting standards which

are issued and effective for reporting periods beginning

on or after 1 January 2018. These amendments and

interpretations apply for the reporting period beginning 1

April 2018 as follows:

NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

This standard specifies how and when revenue should

be recognised and requires disclosures about the

nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and

cash flows arising from customer contracts. Revenue

is recognised when a customer obtains control of the

good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use

and obtain the benefits from the good or service. This

standard replaces NZ IAS 18 Revenue.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration

specified in a contract with a customer and excludes

amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The company

recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product

or service to a customer. A performance obligation is a

promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service

(or a bundle of goods and services) to the customer and is

the unit of account in NZ IFRS 15. A contract’s transaction

price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation

and recognised as revenue, when, or as, the performance

obligation is satisfied.

The Group’s revenue is rental income which is out of the

scope of NZ IFRS 15. Refer to Note 5 Net Rental Revenue

for information on principal activities and revised

accounting policies.

NZ IFRS 9 Financial instruments

NZ IFRS 9 establishes principles for the financial reporting

of financial assets and financial liabilities that will present

relevant and useful information to users of financial

statements for their assessment of the amounts, timing

and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows. NZ IFRS

9 also introduces an expected credit loss model for the

impairment of financial assets.

This standard also includes new guidance which will align

hedge accounting more closely with risk management. It

does not fully change the types of hedging relationships

or the requirement to measure and recognise

ineffectiveness; however, it allows more hedging strategies

that are used for risk management purposes to qualify

for hedge accounting. The Group does not currently apply

hedge accounting under NZ IAS 39.

Classification of financial instruments

The Group classifies its financial assets as fair value

through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through

other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) and amortised

cost according to the Group’s business objectives

for managing the financial assets and based on the

contractual cash characteristics of the financial assets.

The Group classifies its financial liabilities as amortised

cost or FVTPL.

The Group has adopted both NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

and NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, as

required. The retrospective method has been adopted for the

initial application of both these standards.

The adoption of NZ IFRS 9 does not have a material impact

on the financial statements.

The implementation of NZ IFRS 15 has required a

change in the presentation of operating cost recovery

income included in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income. This standard does not apply to

rental income which makes up more than 85 per cent of

the total revenue of the Group. With the implementation

of NZ IFRS 15, it has been necessary to separate revenue

components between rental income and operating cost

recoveries which has been done in Note 5 Net Rental

Revenue. As a result, comparative information has also

been presented to align to the reporting requirements.

There has been no changes in the amount or timing

of revenue recognised therefore no restatement of

comparative information has been required.

Accounting standards that are issued but not

yet effective

The Group has elected not to early adopt the following

standards, which have been issued by the New Zealand

Accounting Standards Board.

NZ IFRS 16 Leases (effective for annual reporting

periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

NZ IFRS 16 requires a lessee to recognise a lease

liability reflecting future lease payments and a ’right-

of-use’ asset for all lease contracts. Lessors reporting

requirements are similar to the previous standard NZ IAS

17 Leases.

This standard is required to be adopted by the Group in

its financial year ending 31 March 2020. A right of use

asset and corresponding liability reflecting future lease

payments will be recognised based on commitments at

that date.

The following table presents the types of financial instruments held by the Group within each financial instrument

classification under NZ IAS 39 and NZ IFRS 9:

The Directors have evaluated the impact of this new standard

on the consolidated financial position and performance of

the Group. Their current preliminary evaluation has indicated

that there is no material effect on the Group’s result due to

adopting the new standards, but in some instances additional

disclosures may be required.

(c) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the

assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows

of the entities controlled by Asset Plus Limited at the end

of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity

over which Asset Plus Limited has the power to direct

relevant activities, exposure or rights, to variable returns

from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to

use its power over the investee to affect the amount of

investor return.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements,

subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Group

gains control until the date on which control ceases.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared

for the same reporting period as the parent company,

using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the

consolidated financial statements, all intercompany

balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses

resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends have

been eliminated in full.

On 28 September 2018 the subsidiaries of the Group were

amalgamated into one subsidiary, Asset Plus Investments

Limited, in accordance with Section 222 of the Companies

Act 1993.

The table below represents investments in all subsidiaries at

reporting date:

In prior year all subsidiaries were wholly owned companies

incorporated in New Zealand and have a 31 March annual

reporting date.

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2019

(d) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenue and expenses are recognised net of the amount of

GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods

and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority,

in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of

acquisition of the item as applicable.

All items in the consolidated statement of financial position

are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables

and payables, which include GST invoiced. Cash flows are

included in the Consolidated statement of cash flows on

a net basis and the GST component of cash flows arising

from investing and financing activities is classified as part

of operating activities.

3. Significant Accounting Estimates

and Judgements

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements

requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.

It also requires management to exercise its judgement in

the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.

4. Financial Risk Management

Objectives and Policies

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise bank

loans, cash, trade receivables, payables and derivatives.

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the

consolidated statement of financial position when the

Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of

the instrument.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial

instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity

risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing

each of these risks and they are summarised below.

Interest rate risk

The Group has exposure to interest rate risk to the extent

that it borrows for fixed terms at floating interest rates. To

manage this exposure, the Group enters into interest rate

swaps. At the reporting date, the notional value of interest

rate swaps was nil (2018: $40million).

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective

weighted interest rates for each class of financial asset

and liability were:

Credit risk

In management’s opinion, the Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, whose obligations to the

Group are contractually enforceable under tenancy agreements and car park licences. Financial instruments, which

potentially subject the Group to credit risk, principally consist of bank balances, receivables and advances to tenants.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise interest received on cash

and cash equivalents and interest rate swaps in respect to the ‘receive’ portion, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises

from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Bank

of New Zealand, who is the counter party in respect to these financial assets of the Group, currently holds an AA- credit

rating (issued by Standard & Poors).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s financial liabilities and the ability to meet all its obligations to repay financial

liabilities as and when they fall due. The Group actively monitors its position to ensure that sufficient funds are available

to meet liabilities as they arise. Liquidity is monitored on a regular basis and reported to the Board monthly.

The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs for settlement and repayments resulting from recognised financial

liabilities. This table is based on all interest rate variables being held constant over the relevant period of time. It does

not allow for potential future margin changes as these can not be easily identified as at balance date. All payments are

undiscounted and the timing of the cash flows is based on the contractual terms of the underlying contract.

Capital management

The Group’s capital includes contributed capital and

accumulated loss.

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so

as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence

and to sustain future development of the business.

The impact of the level of capital on Shareholders’ return

is also recognised and the Group recognises the need to

maintain a balance between the higher returns that might

be possible with greater gearing and the advantage and

security afforded by a sound capital position.

The Group’s policies in respect of capital management

and allocation are reviewed quarterly by the Board

of Directors.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand,

demand deposits and other short term highly liquid

investments that are readily convertible to a known

amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of

changes in value.

Accounting policy

The Group recognises revenue from the following

principal activities:

Rental Revenue

The Group’s primary revenue stream. Net rental revenue

is recognised in accordance with NZ IAS 17 Leases. As

the Group retains substantially all the risks and benefits

of ownership of its investment properties, it accounts for

leases with its tenants as operating leases and begins

recognising income when the tenant has a right to use

the leased asset. The total amount of contractual rent

to be received from operating leases is recognised on a

straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including

any lease incentives.

Net rental revenue is measured based on the

consideration specified in the relevant rental agreement.

6. Administration and Net Finance Costs

Accounting policy

Interest Revenue

Interest revenue consists of interest accrued on cash deposits and is recognised using the effective interest method.

Interest and Finance Costs

Finance costs, including borrowing costs and interest payable on borrowings, are recognised in the consolidated

statement of comprehensive income when incurred. Borrowing costs incurred that do not relate to qualifying assets are

treated as an expense and are not capitalised.

7. Income Tax

Accounting policy

Income tax in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is

recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is

recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax on the taxable income for the year, using rates enacted or substantially enacted at

balance date, and any adjustment to income tax payable in respect of previous periods. Current tax for current and

prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of

assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

• When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a

transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the

accounting profit nor the taxable profit or loss.

• In respect of the taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and

interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it

is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax

assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which

the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be

utilised, except:

• When the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial

recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the

transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

• When the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests

in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the

temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the

temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of any deferred income tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent

that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income

tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected

to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have

been enacted or substantively enacted at balance date.

The Group has applied the rebuttable presumption under NZ IAS 12 that deferred tax on investment property

measured using the fair value model in NZ IAS 40 is determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be

recovered through sale.

The Group holds investment properties for the purpose of capital appreciation and rental income and therefore

the measurement of any related deferred tax reflects the tax consequences of recovering the carrying amount

of the investment property entirely through sale. In New Zealand there is no capital gains tax, therefore the tax

consequences on sale will be limited to depreciation previously claimed for tax purposes (i.e. depreciation recovered).

8. Segment Reporting

The principal business activity of the Group is to invest in New Zealand properties. Investment properties have similar economic

characteristics, methods of management and are under leases of various terms. Segment reporting is presented in a consistent

manner with internal reporting provided to the Board. The Board receives internal financial information on a property by

property basis, to assess property performance. The Group operates only in New Zealand. On this basis all of the Group’s

properties have been aggregated into a single reporting segment to most appropriately reflect the nature and financial effects

of the business activities.

9. Trade Receivables, Prepayments and Other Receivables

10. Investment Properties

Accounting policy

Trade Receivables, prepayments and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs

and subsequently carried at amortised costs using the effective interest rate method less an allowance for any

impairment losses. Due to their short term nature, trade receivable, prepayments and other receivables are

not discounted.

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade receivables and records the loss allowance

as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the

potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its

historical experience, external indicators and forward looking information to calculate the expected credit losses.

The impairment of trade receivables is assessed on a collective basis (grouped based on the days past due), as they

possess shared credit risk characteristics.

Further disclosure details on the expected credit loss model have not been included in the financial statements as the

amounts involved are considered by the Directors of the Group to be immaterial.

Accounting policy

Properties which are held exclusively to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation are classified as investment

properties at their acquisition date. These are initially recognised at cost plus related costs of acquisition. After

initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value as determined by an independent registered valuer.

Investment properties are valued annually. The fair value is based on market values, being the estimated amount for

which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an

arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and

without compulsion.

In the absence of an active market, alternative valuation techniques are utilised which may include discounted

cash flow projections, capitalisation of income or sales comparison approach as appropriate to the property

being valued. The valuations are prepared by considering the aggregate of the estimated cash flows expected

from rental income, the occupancy rates, average lease terms and capitalisation rates which reflect the current

market conditions. The estimate of fair value is a judgement which has been made based on the market

conditions which apply at each reporting date.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss

in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

11. Properties Held for Sale

Accounting policy

Properties which are acquired exclusively with a view for subsequent resale are classified as properties held for

sale at their acquisition date. These properties are held for immediate sale in their present condition or the Group

has committed to selling the asset through entering into a contractual sales and purchase agreement. Properties

held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The value of

these properties is reassessed at each reporting date with gains and losses arising from changes in fair values

being recognised in profit and loss.

Investment properties which meet the requirements of assets held for sale will be reclassified on the date these

requirements are met. These assets will continue to be measured under the fair value model with any gains or

losses being recognised in profit or loss in accordance with NZ IAS 40 Investment Properties. Revenue on the sale

of Assets Held for Sale is recognised when the risks and rewards have transferred to the buyer.

Fair value of properties held for sale is determined by either an independent valuation or Directors’ valuation.

Where there is an absence of current prices in an active market for properties similar in location, condition

and lease terms, a valuation will be performed using the discounted cash flow method and the capitalisation

approach. The valuations consider market assumptions of internal rates of return, rental growth, average lease

terms, occupancy rates, and the costs associated with the initial purchase of the property and yield and are

compared, where possible, to market based evidence and transactions for properties similar in location, condition

and lease terms.

The discounted cash flow method is based on the expected net rental cash flows applicable to each property,

which are then discounted to their present value using a market determined, discount risk-adjusted rate

applicable to the respective property. The capitalisation approach is based on the current contract rental and

market rental and an appropriate yield for that particular property. The market value is a weighted combination

of both the discounted cash flow and the capitalisation approach.

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs are set out in the table below. Fair value hierarchies are

set out in Note 15 Fair Value Measurement.

12. Property, Plant and Equipment

Accounting policy

Property, plant and equipment is measured at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment

losses. The net loss on sale of plant and equipment is shown in the consolidated statement of comprehensive

income. Depreciation is calculated to allocate the cost over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Loan security

The loan is secured by a registered first mortgage over the investment properties of the Group, an assignment of leases over all

present and directly acquired properties mortgaged to the BNZ Bank and a first general security interest over the assets of the

Group. On 1 November 2018, the bank facility limit with BNZ was reduced from $70 million to $20 million.

Loan covenants – BNZ bank

During the year ended 31 March 2019 all loan covenants were met. (2018: all met)

Interest rate swaps

The Group manages its interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed Interest Rate Swaps which have the economic effect of

converting interest on borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates.

The 4 interest rate swaps that were held at 31 March 2018 were exited in July 2018. There are currently no interest rate

swaps in place.

13. Borrowings

Accounting policy

Borrowings are classified as financial liabilities at amortised costs. They are initially recognised at fair value

of the consideration less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings

are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities

unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after

the reporting date.

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, unless they relate to a qualifying asset and are

capitalised when incurred.

14. Trade Payables, Accruals and other Payables

Accounting policy

Trade and other payables

Trade payables are classified as financial liabilities and are initially measured at fair value less any transaction

costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost and due to their short term nature, are not discounted. They

represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are

unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect to the purchase of these

goods and services.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group 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 the outflow can be reliably measured.

15. Fair Value Measurement

Accounting policy

Financial assets/liabilities classified as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) are initially recognised at their

fair value and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Gains and losses recorded on

each revaluation date are recognised within net earnings. Transaction costs of financial assets classified as FVTPL

are expensed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Interest rate swaps and other derivative financial instruments

The company selectively utilises derivative financial instruments primarily to manage financial risks, including

interest rate risk. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The assets or liabilities relating to

unrealised mark-to-market gains and losses on derivative financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated

statement of financial position. The gain/loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised in the consolidated

statement of comprehensive income. In determining the fair value of derivatives, an adjustment would be made

to reflect the creditworthiness of the counterparty only if material.

The table below sets out the comparison by category of carrying amounts, fair values, and fair value movement hierarchy

of all the Group’s assets and (liabilities):

The quoted market price (Level 1) represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets as at the

reporting date. For financial instruments not quoted in active markets (Level 2) the Group uses present value techniques,

with a comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist and other relevant models used by

market participants, which includes current swap rates on offer and also the current floating interest rate (interest rate

swaps). For properties held for sale and investment properties (Level 3), the Group uses present value techniques based

on forecasted future earnings.

There are no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the period ended 31 March 2019 (2018: None).

The Group has also assessed possible impairment for 12-month expected loss or life-time expected loss and notes that

the outcome of this is nil.

21. Lease Commitments

Accounting policy

Group as a Lessee

A lease is classified at the inception date as a

finance lease or an operating lease. Property

leases are recognised as an operating expense

in the profit or loss in the consolidated statement

of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis

over the lease term.

Group as a Lessor

The Group has entered into commercial property

leases on its investment property portfolio and has

determined that all significant risks and rewards of

ownership are retained by the Group. These leases

are classified as operating leases. Initial direct

costs incurred in negotiating the lease are added

to the carrying amount of the leased asset and

recognised as an expense over the lease term on

the same basis as net rental revenue.

Lease Incentives

In the event lease incentives are provided to

lessees, such incentives are recognised as an

asset. The aggregate benefits provided are

amortised to profit or loss in the consolidated

statement of comprehensive income on the

straight line basis over the period of the lease as

a reduction in net rental revenue, except where

another systematic basis is more representative

of the time pattern in which benefits provided

are consumed.

Net rental revenue is recognised in terms of NZ

IFRS 16. Refer to Note 5 Net Rental Revenue for

information on the adopted accounting policy.

Lessee: lease payable

On 12 July 2018, the sale of the AA Centre to Sky City was

completed and as part of the agreement the Group’s

lease obligations for its Head Office premises at Level 13,

the AA Centre, 99 Albert Street, Auckland were transferred

to the purchaser. The Group has not entered into any

leases which would be classified as finance leases.

Future minimum rental payables under non-cancellable

operating leases are as follows:

2019

$’000

2018

$’000

Due within one year-175

Due between one and five years-184

Due after five years--

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2019

21. Lease Commitments

Lessor: lease receivable

Substantially all property owned by the Group is leased to

third party tenants and each arrangement is supported

by relevant lease documentation. The lease term varies

between properties and individual tenants within those

properties. The Group, as the lessor, grants the right of

use of the space within these properties to a lessee in

return for a consideration (rental payment) as set out in

the lease contract.

Future minimum rental revenues under non-cancellable

operating leases are as follows:

2019

2018

$’000

Due within one year9,11310,351

Due between one and five years30,56824,323

Due after five years16,05317,544

The above rental receivables are based on contracted

amounts as at 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018. Actual

rental amounts collected in future will differ due to rental

review provisions within the lease agreements.

There are no contingent rentals.

22. Transaction Costs

During the reporting period ended 31 March 2019, estimated

disposal costs of $0.22 million relating to the future sale

of the Heinz Watties asset (including agency, legal and

reimbursement fees) have been recognised when this asset

was reclassified to a property held for sale.

In the reporting period ended 31 March 2018, at a special

meeting of shareholders held on 21 April 2017, a resolution

to complete a transaction with Kiwi Property Holdings

Limited was not approved by shareholders. $0.430

million of costs related to this transaction were incurred

during the year. In July 2017 Asset Plus Limited received a

proposal from Augusta Funds Management Limited to sell

the management rights of the Group. The costs incurred

totalled $0.256 million.

23. Commitments and Contingencies

Capital commitments

At 31 March 2019 the Group has capital commitments of

$ Nil (2018: $2.76 million).

Contingent liabilities

At the reporting date the Group had no material

contingent liabilities (2018: Nil).

24. Subsequent Events

On 29 April 2019, Asset Plus entered into a conditional

agreement to acquire 35 Graham Street, Auckland for $58

million from Auckland Council. The agreement is conditional

on the approval of an ordinary resolution of Asset Plus

shareholders at a meeting to be held on 17 June 2019.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Independent

Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of Asset Plus Limited

Report on the Audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Asset Plus Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries

(“the Group”), on pages 4 to 29, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019, and the

consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement

of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant

accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated

financial position of Asset Plus Limited as at 31 March 2019 and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash

flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

(NZ IFRS) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) issued by the

New Zealand Audit and Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent

of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners

issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities

in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to

provide a basis for our opinion.

Our firm carries out other assignments for the Group in the area of related assurance services. The provision of these other

services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group. The firm has no other interests in Asset Plus Limited and

the entities it controlled.

30

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the

consolidated financial statements of the current period. We summarise below those matters, and our key audit procedures,

to address those matters in order that the Group’s shareholders as a body may better understand the process by which we

arrived at our audit opinion.These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements

as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Why the audit matter is significantHow our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

Investment Property valuation

In the application of NZ IFRS, management is required

to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about

carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily

apparent from other sources.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on

historical experience and various other factors that are

believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the

results of which form the basis of making the judgements.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on

an ongoing basis.

As at 31 March 2019, Investment Property is carried

at fair value of $94.077 million. There are a number of

risks that can have a material impact on the investment

property balance in the consolidated financial

statements, principally:

• valuations of all the investment properties may not be

performed by qualified and experienced commercial

property valuers;

• methods and assumptions used by the property

valuers, may not be considered appropriate;

• the calculation of the fair value amount for each of

the investment properties, as well as the revaluation

adjustment for the year may not be correct; and

• data provided to the property valuers may not

be appropriate.

We have:

• obtained and agreed the schedule of investment

properties to the respective independent valuation

reports, performed by valuation experts;

• evaluated the qualifications and work of each valuation

expert, for each of the investment properties;

• inquired about and documented the methods and

assumptions used by the expert, and considered the

appropriateness of those assumptions and methods

used, for each property valuation;

• re-performed the calculation in determining the fair

value amount of each investment property, as well as

the revaluation adjustment to be recorded for the year;

• tested the appropriateness of data provided to the

expert, for each property valuation; and

• ensured properties held for sale are recorded at

appropriate fair value at measurement date. That any

estimates or judgements made by management are

reasonable and appropriate for reporting purposes.

31

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
Other Information

The directors are responsible for all other information included in the Group’s Annual Report. The other information comprises

the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s

report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of

audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in

doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our

knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed,

we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have

nothing to report in this regard.

Directors’ responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements

The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial

statements in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the New

Zealand Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as the Directors determines is necessary to enable the

preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing the

Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going

concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic

alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with

ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are

considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions

of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located

on the External Reporting Board’s website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/

auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

Restriction on use of our report

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might

state to the Company’s shareholders, as a body those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report

and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other

than the Company and its shareholders, as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinion we have formed.

➢The last 12 months has been a period of

ongoing transition for Asset Plus, including

the change to an external manager, Augusta

Funds Management, but also the focus on

the future value-add strategy and potential

acquisitions.

➢The first step in implementing that strategy

has now been taken with the 35 Graham St

acquisition.

➢Our patience has been rewarded with what

we consider to be a quality acquisition and

we look forward to discussing this further

with shareholders at the special meeting on

17 June 2019.

Performance

Net profit after tax of $3.80m, a 23% increase on the prior year
➢AFFO* of $4.74m was down 23% from $6.15m in 2018. The AFFO

performance was impacted by lower rental income due to the

divestment of 17 Print Place, Christchurch and the AA Centre in

Auckland, partially offset by lower administration and funding costs.

➢Divestment activity has reduced rental income, providing balance

sheet capacity for future investment.

➢Administration expenses reduced by $1.18m due to the benefits of

externalisation and property divestments. The prior year also

included $0.73m of restructure costs.

➢Funding costs –post the divestment of the AA Centre in July 2018 the

drawn debt balance reduced to $10.5m and facility limit to $20m.

Net rental income is $2.55m / 22% lower primarily due to:

➢Divestment of the AA Centre in Auckland and 17 Print Place in

Christchurch reduced net rental by $1.60m and $0.79m respectively.

➢Current portfolio net rental was $0.16m lower primarily due to

increased leasing and property management costs associated with

Stoddard Road.

no longer proceeding in the near term.

➢On this basis the asset no longer aligns with Asset Plus

total rent from the renewals equate to $0.57m, or 21.5% of the

total rental income for the centre, taking the centre WALT from

3.76 years in March last year to 4.02 years currently.

further boost the WALT of the property. Recent tenant retention

is a positive signal and we expect this trend to continue. Mt

➢35 Graham St acquisition and progressing the

repositioning strategy.

➢Progression of the value-add opportunities within the

existing portfolio.

➢Exit of non-core assets as appropriate.

➢Continuing to investigate future opportunities to

transform Asset Plus.

assessed to find the right opportunity and the Board

will remain patient to find the right opportunities.

disciplined in the current market to

returns and align with the new

strategy.

Appendix 1 : AFFO Reconciliation

>

➢AFFO* of $4.74m is $1.41m / 23% lower in 2019primarily

due to lower rental income due to divestment and leasing

incentives granted.

➢Divestment partly offset by lower administration and

funding costs.

*AFFO is a non-GAAP financial information, calculated based on guidance issued by the Property Council of Australia. Asset

Plus considers that AFFO is a useful measure for shareholders and management because it assists in assessing the Company’s

underlying operating performance. This non-GAAP financial information does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by

GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial information prescribed by other entities. The calculation of

AFFO has been reviewed by Grant Thornton.
