DIRECTORS' REVIEW

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (“CDLI”) is pleased to report a profit after tax of $32.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2017, an

increase of 19.0% from the previous year (2016: $27.0 million). This result is the eighth consecutive year of profit growth for the company.

Profit before tax also increased to $44.7 million (2016: $37.5 million). Property sales & other income totalled $78.7 million (2016: $74.5 million).

Shareholders’ funds as at 31 December 2017 increased to $186.1 million (2016: $161.8 million) and the company’s total assets stood at $191.7

million (2016: $168.3 million). The net tangible asset per share (at book value) was 67.1 cents (2016: 58.4 cents).

DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT

Reflecting the record result, CDLI has resolved to increase its fully imputed ordinary dividend to 3.5 cents per share (2016: 3.0 cents per share),

payable on 18 May 2018. The record date will be 4 May 2018. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan will apply to this dividend

LAND PORTFOLIO

At 31 December 2017, the independent market value of CDLI’s land holdings was $276.3 million (2016: $297.0 million). CDLI’s accounting

policies require the company to carry the value of its land portfolio at the lower of cost or net realisable value and at 31 December 2017, the

land portfolio at cost was $124.7 million (2016: $117.8 million).

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

The New Zealand housing stock and new housing supply remains short of demand. This can explain why while housing sales have eased, pricing

has only evened out. The Reserve Bank’s LVR restrictions and the availability of finance have both had an effect on the New Zealand housing

market. That said, although not as strong as in 2016, demand for CDLI housing sections remained steady in 2017.

The Overseas Investment Amendment Bill proposed by the Government last December is expected to have some but minimal impact on CDLI’s

business model of acquiring land for residential development. The proposed new Government measures classifying residential housing land as

“sensitive land” is a demand-side measure and aimed “not to impede the broader objective of increasing the supply of residential housing”. As a

development company in housing sections, CDLI has consistently demonstrated its “financial commitment, business experience and acumen and

good character” with its commitment to increasing the supply of sections for residential housing.

The Overseas Investment Amendment Bill in its current form may however have unintended consequences. These include the number of

consent applications and time required to process them. Both measures are expected to increase with significant delays and costs to the

housing industry.

CDLI will continue to drive sales activity of its existing housing sections in 2018 with the aim of delivering another year of growth in 2018.

The Board and management will also continue to progress consents and future development approvals for projects in the pipeline as well as

continue to seek to acquire additional land for future development.

MANAGEMENT AND STAFF

On behalf of the Board I sincerely thank the company’s management and staff for their hard work during 2017 to deliver these excellent results.

board meetings are convened when required. Prior to each meeting, board

papers are circulated to enable informed and full deliberation at the meeting.

The Board delegates certain powers to committees of the Board and

day-to-day management to the Managing Director.

The Board has a statutory obligation to reserve to itself responsibility

for certain matters, such as the payment of distributions and the issue

of shares. It also reserves responsibility for significant matters and the

incurring of significant obligations. In addition, under the Companies Act

1993 and the Listing Rules, the Company is required to seek the approval

of its shareholders prior to entering into certain types of transactions.

6 | CDL Investments New Zealand Limited
NOMINATION COMMITTEE

(NZX Code Principles 2 & 3)

The Board does not have a Nominations Committee as the whole

Board is involved in the selection and appointment process for any

new Directors. The Board reviews the composition of its members

from time to time to ensure that it has Directors with appropriate

experience and skills.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

(NZX Code Principles 3 & 5)

The Board does not have a Remuneration Committee as it considers

the current level of remuneration for the Board sufficient to meet

its requirements. The Board last recommended to shareholders an

increase in the total amount available for Directors fees in 1996.

The remuneration of the Managing Director and senior management

is reviewed annually by the Board. The Group promotes a

performance-based approach to remuneration and remuneration

review is linked to and carried out after performance reviews. The

level of executive remuneration is disclosed in this Annual Report.

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE COMMITTEE

(NZX Code Principle 4)

The Company is committed to its obligations to inform shareholders

and market participants of all material information that might affect

the price of its listed securities in accordance with the Listing Rules

and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The Board has adopted a continuous disclosure policy (the Policy)

which applies to the Company and its subsidiary (“Group”), and all

their respective directors and employees. The Board has appointed

the Chairman, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, the Managing

Director, the Group Company Secretary and the Vice President Finance

to act as the Company’s continuous disclosure committee (the

Disclosure Committee). A quorum of the Disclosure Committee shall

consist of no less than three (3) of these persons.

The Disclosure Committee is responsible for:



Determining what information amounts to material information

and must be disclosed;



Determining the timing of disclosur

e of any information in

accordance with the Policy;


Approving the content of any disclosure to NZX (including

matters not directly covered by the Policy);



Ensuring that all employees and dir

ectors within the Group

whom the Committee considers appropriate receive a copy of the

Policy and appropriate training with respect to it;


Developing mechanisms designed to identify potential material

information (e.g. agenda item on management meetings); and



Liaising with legal adviser

s in respect of the Company’s

compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - CONTINUED

BOARD COMPOSITION

Aa at 31 December 2017 the Board consists of six members being

Messrs C Sim (Chairman), BK Chiu (Managing Director), KS Tan, VWE

Yeo, RJ Austin and J Henderson. The Company’s constitution and

the Listing Rules set a minimum number of three directors with a

requirement that at least two be ordinarily resident in New Zealand.

The Board does not impose a restriction on the tenure of any

Director as it considers that such a restriction may lead to the loss of

experience and expertise from the Board.

In line with the Listing Rules the Company is required to have at

least two Independent Directors (as defined therein). The Board has

determined that Messrs Sim, Henderson and Austin are Independent

Directors as the Board has determined that neither of them has a

Disqualifying Relationship (as that term is defined in the Listing

Rules). Messrs Tan, Chiu, Lee and Yeo are not considered by the Board

to be Independent Directors.

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board has an audit Committee, a Continuous Disclosure

Committee, and may constitute other ad-hoc committees from

time to time.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

(NZX Code Principle 3)

The Company is required to establish and maintain an Audit

Committee pursuant to Rule 3.6 of the Listing Rules. The Audit

Committee’s responsibilities include monitoring accounting policies

and financial reporting, internal controls, risk management and

corporate governance. The Audit Committee is also responsible for

engaging the Company’s external auditors and is responsible for

monitoring the independence of the external auditors.

During 2017 the members of this Committee were Messrs Austin

(Chairman), Henderson and Chiu. As Mr Chiu is MCK’s Managing

Director, MCK does not comply with the requirement under the NZX

Code which states that the Audit Committee should comprise solely

of non-executive directors of the company.

The Audit Committee met twice during 2017.

The Audit Committee has a written charter outlining its role

and responsibilities.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - CONTINUED

The key points of the continuous disclosure policy are:


No per

son may release material information concerning the

Company to any person who is not authorised to receive it

without the approval of the Disclosure Committee.


The Boar

d will consider at each Board meeting whether

there is any information that may require disclosure in

accordance with the Policy, and will note any disclosures made

subsequent to the prior meeting. Any employee or director of

the Company must inform a member of the Disclosure

Committee as soon as practicable after that person becomes

aware of any material information.

• The Policy includes a list of incidents which should be disclosed

to a member of the Disclosure Committee. The Disclosure

Committee must confer, decide whether disclosure is required,

and coordinate disclosure of any material information in a form

specified by the Listing Rules as soon as practicable after it

becomes aware of the existence of material information, unless

it determines:

a)


a r

easonable person would not expect the information to be

disclosed; and

b) the information is confidential and its confidentiality is

maintained; and

c)


one or mor

e of the following applies:

i)


it would br

each the law to disclose the information; or

ii) the information concerns an incomplete proposal or

negotiation; or

iii)


the information comprises matter

s of supposition or is

insufficiently definite to warrant disclosure; or

iv) the information is generated for internal management

purposes of the Company or its subsidiary; or

v)


the information is a tr

ade secret.

The Disclosure Committee will ensure that all Board members, not

already aware of the information, are promptly provided with it.



The Disclosur

e Committee is responsible for the Company’s

obligations under the Listing Rules to release material

information to NZX to the extent necessary to prevent

development or subsistence of a market for its listed securities

which is materially influenced by false or misleading information

emanating from the issuer or any associated person of the issuer;

or other persons in circumstances in each case which would give

such information substantial credibility.


All employees of the Company, as soon as practicable after

becoming aware of a rumour or speculation that is “generally

available to the market” must disclose the existence of that

rumour or speculation to a member of the Disclosure Committee.



The Disclosur

e Committee is also responsible for co-ordinating

the Company’s responses to leaks and inadvertent disclosures.

Even in the event that leaked or inadvertently disclosed

information is not price sensitive, the Disclosure Committee

should consider whether the information should be released to

NZX via its market announcement platform in order to provide

investors with equal access.

• All external communications by the Company must comply

with this Policy, any media policy and the Company’s rules with

respect to confidential information. No material information is to

be disclosed to such persons before it is released to NZX.



Slides and pr

esentations used in briefings should be released to

NZX for immediate release to the market.


The Company requires all of its Directors and employees

to comply with the Policy. The Disclosure Committee is

responsible for ensuring that the Policy is complied with and for

investigating any breach of the Policy. A deliberate or reckless

breach of the Policy may result in the summary dismissal of the

employee who deliberately or recklessly breaches the Policy, and

a breach of the Policy or any relevant law may also attract civil or

criminal legal penalties.

EXTERNAL AUDITORS

(NZX Code Principle 7)

The Company’s policy in relation to auditor independence covers the

following areas:

• provision of services by the Company’s external auditors;

• external auditor rotation;


the hiring of staff fr

om the external audit firm; and


relationships between the external auditor and the Company.

The policy states that the Audit Committee shall only recommend to

the Board a firm to be external auditor if:



the firm would be r

egarded by a reasonable investor, with full

knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances, as capable

of exercising objective and impartial judgment on all issues

encompassed within the auditor’s engagement;


the firm’s audit partners are members of Chartered Accountants

Australia New Zealand (CAANZ);


the firm has not, within two years prior to the commencement

of the audit, had as a member of its audit engagement team the

Company’s Managing Director, Vice President Finance, Financial

Controller, or any member of the Company’s management who

act in a financial oversight role; and



the firm does not allow the dir

ect compensation of its audit

partners for selling non-audit services to the Company.

8 | CDL Investments New Zealand Limited
• management functions;

• broker / dealer / investment adviser / investment banking services;

• advocacy for the Company;

• actuarial services; and

• assistance in the recruitment of senior management.

These prohibitions apply to all offices of the audit firm, including overseas

offices and affiliates.

The billing arrangements for services provided by the Company’s external

auditors should not include any contingent fees.

It is expected that the Company’s external auditors will rigorously

comply with their own internal policies on independence and all relevant

professional guidance, including independence rules and guidance issued

by CAANZ.

While this policy does not prescribe any particular ratio of non-audit

service fees to audit fees, this ratio will be monitored by the Audit

Committee. Accordingly, the nature of services provided by the Company’s

auditors and the level of fees incurred should be reported to the Audit

Committee Chairman semi-annually (or sooner where requested) to

enable the Committee to perform its oversight role and report back to the

Board.

Development of local and overseas practice with regard to auditor

independence shall be monitored by the Audit Committee to ensure

that this policy remains consistent with best practice and meets the

Company’s needs.

The continued appointment of the Company’s external auditors is to

be confirmed annually by the Board on recommendation from the

Audit Committee.

Rotation of the lead audit partner or firm will be required every five

years. Lead audit partners who are rotated will be subject to a two year

cooling off period (i.e. two years must expire between the rotation of an

audit partner and that partner’s next engagement with the Company).

Accordingly it is expected that such a policy will be adopted by the

Company’s auditors.

The hiring by the Company of any former lead audit partner or

audit manager must first be approved by the Chairman of the Audit

Committee. There are no other restrictions on the hiring of other staff

from the audit firm.

KPMG were appointed as external auditors to the Company in 1985.

The lead external audit engagement partner was rotated in 2013.

The role of the external auditor is to plan and carry out an audit of the

Company’s annual financial reports and review the half-yearly reports.

The Audit Committee reviews the performance and independence of

the external auditors.

The Company’s external auditors are invited to the Company’s Annual

Meeting and are available to answer any questions from shareholders as

to the audit and the content of the report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - CONTINUED

EXTERNAL AUDITORS – continued

The general principles to be applied in assessing non-audit services

are as follows:

a)

the external auditor should not have any involvement in the


production of financial information or preparation of financial

statements such that they might be perceived as auditing their own

work. This includes the provision of bookkeeping and payroll services

as well as valuation services where such valuation forms an input

into audited financial information;

b)


the external auditor should not perform any function of


management, or be responsible for making management decisions;

c)

the external auditor should not be responsible for the design or

implementation of financial information systems; and

d)


the separ

ation between internal audit and external audit should

be maintained.

The Company’s Audit Committee shall pre-approve all audit and related

services that are to be provided by the auditor.

Aside from core external audit services, it is appropriate for the Company’s

auditors to provide the following services:

• due diligence (but not valuations) on proposed transactions;



r

eview of financial information where third party verification is

required or deemed necessary (outside the normal audit process);


completion audits / reviews;

• financial model preparation or review;



accounting policy advice (including opinions on compliance


with New Zealand and international Generally Accepted

Accounting Practice);

• listing advice;



accounting/technical tr

aining; and



taxation services of an assur

ance nature (e.g. review of tax

computations and returns prior to filing and advice on interpretation

and application of Inland Revenue’s rulings and policies).

It is not considered appropriate for the Company’s external auditors

to provide:



book keeping services r

elated to accounting records or

financial statements;


tax planning and str

ategy services unless specifically approved

by the Audit Committee;



appr

aisal / valuation services including opinions as to fairness



pr

ovision of payroll services;


the design or implementation of financial information systems;



outsour

ced internal audit and risk management services;


legal services (these ar

e services that could only be provided by a

person who is qualified in law);

CDL Investments New Zealand Limited | 9

provided to management and employees by way of code of conduct

policies. The Company believes in fair dealing with its customers and

suppliers, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders and external

third parties.

We have a current Insider Trading Policy which applies to Directors and

Officers and a Whistleblowing Policy which extends to all management

and employees. The Whistleblowing Policy facilitates the disclosure and

impartial investigation of any serious wrongdoing. This policy advises

employees of their right to disclose serious wrongdoing, and sets out

the Company’s internal procedures for receiving and dealing with such

disclosures. The policy is consistent with, and facilitates, the Protected

Disclosures Act 2000 and is supported by the Board.

FINANCIAL PRODUCT DEALING POLICY

(NZX Code Principle 1)

The Company has a Financial Product Dealing Policy to guide Directors,

senior management and employees of the Company with regard to their

dealings in Company securities. The Financial Product Dealing Policy

outlines the general prohibition on insider trading and requires relevant

approvals be sought prior to dealing in Company securities.

DIVERSITY POLICY

(NZX Code Principle 2)

CDL Investments New Zealand Limited is committed to pursuing a culture

of diversity within the Company. While the Company did not have a

formal diversity policy in 2017, the Company recognises the importance

of supporting and valuing every employee as well as the promotion of

diversity, acceptance and inclusion in the workplace.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 10.4.5(j), set out below is a quantitative

COMMUNICATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS

(NZX Code Principle 2)

We are committed to enabling all shareholders and investors to have

equal access to company information. The Company communicates with

shareholders through the half-yearly and annual reports, through the

Company website (www.cdlinvestments.co.nz) and the presentations

to the annual meeting by the Chairman and Managing Director. The

Company also communicates to shareholders and investors through

announcements made to the NZX in accordance with the continuous

disclosure requirements at law and under the Listing Rules. Copies of

relevant Company policies are available through the Company website

(www.cdlinvestments.co.nz).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - CONTINUED

INTERNAL CONTROLS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company has a series of internal controls in place relating to areas

such as financial monitoring and reporting, human resources and risk

management. Management is primarily responsible for monitoring and

reporting against internal controls and remedying any deficiencies. In

addition, the Company maintains an internal audit function to conduct

internal audits and reviews of the Company’s operations. The Company

has in place insurance arrangements appropriate to its business with

global insurers with a high prudential rating.

The does not have a formal written takeover protocol and considers

it would have sufficient time to implement and communicate such

protocols to shareholders in the event of a takeover offer.

The Company has a formal Code of Ethics which states that:

• All Directors shall undertake their duties with due care and diligence

at all times and will conduct themselves honestly and with integrity.

to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest, all Directors shall

disclose all relevant business and / or personal interests they may

have to the Board as well as any relationships they may have with

the Company as soon as possible.


All Directors shall ensure that they do not support any organisation

other than in a personal capacity without the prior approval of

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2017

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REPORTING ENTITY

CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and

listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. The Company is a FMC Reporting Entity in terms of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and

the Financial Reporting Act 2013.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2017 comprises the Company and its subsidiary (together referred

to as the “Group”).

The principal activity of the Group is the development and sale of residential land properties.

(a)


Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been pr

epared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”). They

comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”) and other applicable Financial Reporting

Standards, as appropriate for Tier 1 profit-oriented entities. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting

Standards (“IFRS”).

The financial statements were authorised for issuance on 8 February 2018.

(b)


Basis of pr

eparation

The financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars ($), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information

presented in New Zealand dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions

that affect the application of company policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and

underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the

estimate is revised and in any future period affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that

have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described in Note 2 – Accounting Estimates

and Judgements.

(c)

Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

The accounting policies are now included within the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.

(d)


Basis of consolidation

(i)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable

returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial

statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date

on which control ceases.

(ii) Subsidiaries

Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in

preparing these consolidated financial statements.

(e)


Pr

operty, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of purchased property, plant

and equipment is the value of the consideration given to acquire the assets and the value of other directly attributable costs,

which have been incurred in bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for their intended service.

Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate cost to their residual values over their estimated useful

lives, as follows:

Plant and equipment 3 - 10 years

(f) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at cost.

(g) Revenue

Revenue represents amounts derived from:

• Land and property sales: recognised on the transfer of the related significant risk and rewards of ownership which is when legal title

passes to the buyer and full settlement of the purchase consideration of the property occurs.

(h)

New standar

ds and interpretations not yet adopted

The following new standards and amendments to standards are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2017, and have not been

applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements:


NZ IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (effective after 1 January 2018)

• NZ IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective 1 January 2018)

• NZ IFRS 16 – Leases (effective 1 January 2019)

The NZ Group has assessed the new standards and the adoption of these standards is not expected to have a material impact on the

Group’s financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

For the year ended 31 December 2017

1. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments

The single operating segment of the Group consists of property operations, comprising the development and sale of residential land sections.

The Group has determined that its chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors on the basis that it is this group which determines

the allocation of resources to segments and assesses their performance.

An operating segment is a distinguishable component of the Group:


that is engaged in business activities fr

om which it earns revenues and incurs expenses,


whose oper

ating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions on resource

allocation to the segment and assess its performance, and


for which discrete financial information is available.

Geographical segments

Segment revenue is based on the geographical location of the segment assets. All segment revenues are derived in New Zealand.

Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the development property. All segment assets are located in New Zealand.

The Group has no major customer representing greater than 10% of the Group’s total revenues.

2. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Management discussed with the Audit Committee the development, selection and disclosure of the Group’s critical accounting policies and

estimates and the application of these policies and estimates.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In Note 14 detailed analysis is given of the interest rate and credit risk exposure of the Group and risks in relation thereto. The Group is also

exposed to a risk of impairment to development properties should the carrying value exceed the market value due to market fluctuations in the

value of development properties. However, there is no indication of impairment as in Note 8 the carrying value of development properties is

$124,699,000 (2016: $117,762,000) while the market value determined by an independent registered valuer is $276,316,000

(2016: $297,032,000).

6. INCOME TAX EXPENSE - Continued

Income tax for the year 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 or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in equity or in other comprehensive income.

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

date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting

purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries are not provided for to

the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of

realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can

be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Development property is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development, and holding

costs such as interest. Interest and other holding costs incurred after completion of development are expensed as incurred. All holding costs are

written off through profit or loss in the year incurred with the exception of interest holding costs which are capitalised during the period when

active development is taking place. No interest (2016: nil) has been capitalised during the year. Development property includes deposits paid on

unconditional contracts for development land.

The carrying amounts of the development property is reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of

impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its

net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-

tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does

not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount the impairment loss is recognised in

profit or loss.

The value of development property held at 31 December 2017 was determined, on an open market existing use basis, by an independent

registered valuer, DM Koomen SPINZ of Extensor Advisory Limited as $276.3 million (2016: $297.0 million).

The fair value of development property as determined by the independent valuer is categorised as Level 3 based on the inputs to the valuation

methodology. The basis of the valuation is the hypothetical subdivision approach and/or block land sales comparisons to derive the residual

block land values. The major unobservable inputs that are used in the valuation model that require judgement include the individual section

prices, allowances for profit and risk, projected completion and sell down periods and interest rates during the holding period. The estimated

fair value would increase or (decrease) if: the individual section prices were higher/(lower); the allowances for profit were higher/(lower); the

allowances for risk were lower/(higher); the projected completion and sell down periods were shorter/(longer); and the interest rate during the

holding period was lower/(higher).

Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses. The carrying amounts of the trade and other receivables are

reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable

amount is estimated. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount the impairment

loss is recognised in profit or loss.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group only holds non-derivative financial instruments which comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short term

deposits, and trade and other payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any

directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfer the

financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised

if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Exposure to credit and interest rate risks arises in the normal course of the Group's business.

Credit risk

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on

all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Group does not require collateral in respect of financial assets.

The key factor in managing risk is that the Certificate of Title is only transferred to the purchaser when all cash is received in full upon

settlement. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is mainly influenced by its customer base. As such it is concentrated to the default risk of its

industry. However, geographically there is no credit risk concentration.

Cash, cash equivalents, and term deposits are allowed only in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a credit rating equal to

or better than the Group. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. At the

balance date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount

of each financial asset.

Interest rate risk

The Group has no exposure to interest rate risk as there are no funding facilities (2016: nil). However, the Group is exposed to movements

in interest rates on short-term investments which is explained in the Sensitivity analysis. Interest income is earned on the cash and cash

equivalent balance and the short term deposits balance.

Effective interest and repricing analysis

In respect of income earning financial assets, the following tables indicate the effective interest rates at the balance sheet date and the periods

in which they reprice.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Continued

Sensitivity analysis

The Group manages interest rate risk by maximising its interest income through forecasting its cash requirements and cash inflows. Over the

longer-term, however, permanent changes in interest rates will have an impact on profit.

A decrease of one percentage point in interest rates would have decreased the Group’s profit before income tax by $605,000 (2016: $246,000)

in the current period.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The Group evaluates its liquidity requirements on an ongoing

basis. In general, the Group generates sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial

liabilities. It is the Group’s policy to provide credit and liquidity enhancement only to wholly owned subsidiaries.

The following table sets out the contractual cash flows for all financial liabilities that are settled on a gross cash flow basis:

Estimation of fair values

The following summarises the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments reflected in the

above tables.

(a)


Cash, accounts r

eceivable, accounts payable and related party receivables. The carrying amount for these balances approximate their

fair value because of the short maturities of these items

.

Capital management

The Group’s capital includes share capital and retained earnings.

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 advantages and security afforded by a

sound capital position.

The Group is not subject to any external imposed capital requirements.

The allocation of capital is, to a large extent, driven by optimisation of the return achieved on the capital allocated.

The Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors.

There have been no material changes in the Group’s management of capital during the period.

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives

received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense.

Investment in associate

The Group’s subsidiary, CDL Land New Zealand Limited, has a 33.33% investment in Prestons Road Limited. The principal activities of

Prestons Road Limited are as a service provider and in this regard, it is charged with engaging suitably qualified consultants in fields such as

geotechnical engineering, resource management compliance, subdivision of land, legal and regulatory compliance and related issues.

The associate has no revenue or expenses, therefore the Group’s share of profit in its associate for the year was nil (2016: nil).

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating

policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the

arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.

Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes

transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and

OCI of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.

When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-

term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation

or has made payments on behalf of the associate.

18. GROUP ENTITIES

Control of the Group

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ ISAs (NZ)’) . We

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

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 the

International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA

Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the

IESBA Code.

normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These matters have

not impaired our independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the

group.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the

nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually

and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial

statements as a whole was set at $2.2 million determined with reference to a benchmark of group profit before

tax. We chose the benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s performance.

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 in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key

audit procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the

process by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely

for the purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not

express discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

Capitalisation and Allocation of Development Costs

Refer to note 8 of the consolidated financial

statements.

The group’s development property comprises

land and costs incurred to develop land into

subdivisions and individual properties for sale. At

$124.7m this represents 65% of assets on the

consolidated statement of financial position.

Determining whether to capitalise or expense

costs relating to development of the land is

subjective as it depends whether the costs

enhance the land or maintain the current value. In

addition there is significant judgement in

determining how to allocate the costs to

individual properties.

To assess the capitalisation of development costs we

examined the operating effectiveness of the group’s

process to capitalise and record development costs. We

then obtained invoices for a sample of capitalised costs to

check whether the nature of the expense met the

capitalisation criteria in the accounting standards. We found

no exceptions.

Our procedures over the allocation of these development

costs involved considering the costs capitalised to

properties sold versus costs capitalised to the remaining

properties in the portfolio, and in comparison to realised

value upon sale. We also checked for consistency in

approach between periods. The evidence we obtained

demonstrated the allocation of costs was in line with our

expectations.

Other information

The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual

Report. Other information includes the Director’s review, disclosures relating to corporate governance, the trend

statement and financial summary included in the Annual Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial

statements does not cover any other information and we do not express any form of 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 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 received the Director’s Review and have nothing

to report in regards to it. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this

Independent Auditor's Report and we will report the matters identified, if any, to those charged with governance.

Use of this independent auditor’s r eport

This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the

independent 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 shareholders as a body for our audit work, this independent

auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial

statements

The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:

—the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally

accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards) and International Financial Reporting Standards;

—implementing necessary internal controls to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial

statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

—assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related

to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate 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 objective is:

—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 independent 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. They 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 our responsibilities for the audit of these consolidated financial statements is located at

the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:

http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/
