Kiwi Property today reported a net profit after tax

1

of $48.3 million for the six months to

30 September 2018, up from $47.9 million in the prior corresponding period.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

2

, the Company’s measure of operating performance, was $52.3 million,

down from $54.2 million. This predominantly reflects the loss of income following the sale of The

Majestic Centre and North City.

Chair, Mark Ford, said: “Over the past several years, we have been actively rebalancing the

composition of our property portfolio in favour of greater exposure to Auckland, the nation’s

economic powerhouse. The sale of non-core assets to achieve this strategy has predictably resulted

in lower rental revenue in the short term, but has placed us in an even stronger position to pursue

growth opportunities for long-term benefit,” said Mr Ford.

growth in dividends

Shareholders will receive an interim dividend of 3.475 cents per share, an increase of 1.5% on the

prior corresponding period. The dividend will be paid on 19 December 2018.

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be available to eligible shareholders for the period. No discount

will be applied to the price at which the shares are issued.

portfolio strongly positioned

Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie, said: “The portfolio is strongly positioned, with our

rebalancing programme almost complete. Our portfolio is valued at $3.0 billion and our portfolio

weighting to our preferred market of Auckland now sits at 69%.”

The Company continues to have an impressive occupancy ratio of 99.3%, supported by a high-

quality tenant mix. New leasing and rent reviews completed in the current period resulted in an

uplift of 3.8% over prior passing rents.

retail

Our retail portfolio ended the period 99.9% occupied, with a weighted average lease term of

3.8 years. Total retail sales for the 12 months ended 30 September 2018 grew by 2.4%

(+2.7% like-for-like) to $1.7 billion, while attracting more than 48 million shopper visits.

office

Our office portfolio ended the period 97.6% occupied, with a weighted average lease term of

10.0 years. Occupancy was modestly impacted by the vacancies we held in the Vero Centre to

accommodate our lease renewals with key anchor tenants, Russell McVeagh and Suncorp.

adding value through developments

Mr Mackenzie said: “Our development pipeline continues to play a major role in value creation,

with $140 million of projects nearing completion and a further $245 million underway.”



2

Chair, Mark Ford, said: “We increasingly see the importance of developing and owning

complementary mixed-use communities, such as those we are bringing to life at Sylvia Park and

Drury. Large land holdings, zoned appropriately, can accommodate a variety of commercial

property uses.”

robust balance sheet and capital management

Our balance sheet remains strong, with conservative gearing and diversified sources of debt.

Our gearing ratio was 29.4% (Mar-18: 29.7%), reflecting that the proceeds from the sale of North

City have been offset by value-adding investment activities within our investment portfolio.

outlook and dividend guidance

Mr Mackenzie said: “Our successful efforts to rebalance our portfolio have provided us with

greater balance sheet flexibility, enabling us to focus on growth through developments and

considered acquisitions, while still maintaining conservative levels of debt,” he said.

“For the balance of the 2019 financial year, we will be focused on completing and advancing

development projects underway at Sylvia Park and Northlands, and progressing zoning outcomes

for our Drury landholdings.”

The board continues to project the cash dividend for the year ending 31 March 2019 to be

6.95 cents per share, up from 6.85 cents per share for the prior year.

Notes

1. The reported profit has been prepared in accordance with New Zealand generally accepted accounting

practice (GAAP) and complies with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

and with International Financial Reporting Standards. The reported profit information has been extracted

from the interim financial statements which have been the subject of a review by an Independent Auditor

pursuant to the External Reporting Board’s New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410. GAAP is a

common set of accounting principles, standards and procedures that companies must follow when they

compile their financial statements.

2. FFO is an alternative non-GAAP performance measure used by Kiwi Property to assist investors in assessing

the Company’s underlying operating performance and to determine income available for distribution. FFO

is a measure commonly used by real estate entities to describe their underlying and recurring earnings from

operations. FFO does not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be

comparable to information presented by other entities. FFO is calculated by Kiwi Property in accordance

with the Voluntary Best Practice Guidelines issued by the Property Council of Australia (the Guidelines).

During the Company’s 2018 financial year, the Guidelines amended the method used to derive FFO and

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) to include the amortisation of leasing fees and gross leasing fees

paid. Kiwi Property has amended its current period FFO and AFFO calculation to reflect this change. The

reported FFO information has been extracted from the Company's interim financial statements which have

been the subject of a review by an Independent Auditor pursuant to the External Reporting Board’s New

Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410.

dear shareholders
Welcome to Kiwi Property’s 2019

interim report.

We’ve had a productive start to the

financial year, progressing the Company’s

development pipeline and strengthening

our portfolio to provide a greater exposure

to New Zealand’s economic powerhouse,

Auckland. As always, we have remained

focused on our objective of providing

investors with a reliable investment in

property and have delivered long-term

total returns of 9.3% per annum for our

shareholders, above our 9% target.

In step with our portfolio rebalancing

programme, which has resulted in the

divestment of a number of non-core

assets and therefore a reduction in rental

income, we recorded pre-tax funds from

operations per share growth of -5.1% for

the period, below our 2% target.

Notwithstanding, I am pleased to confirm

an interim dividend of 3.475 cents per

share, an increase of 1.5% on the prior

corresponding period.

evolving Kiwi Property

Kiwi Property continues to evolve in step

with market demand, albeit we have never

wavered from our priority of providing


our investors with reliable returns from

an investment in New Zealand property.

We continue to hold a bias in our

investment strategy to owning assets

in Auckland, due to its prospects for

superior economic growth. We favour

retail assets that dominate their

catchment, in particular those offering

mixed-use development opportunities,

along with landmark office assets in

Auckland that attract high-quality

tenants on stable, long-term leases

and office buildings in Wellington that

attract long-term government tenants.

We increasingly see the importance of

developing and owning complementary

mixed-use communities, such as those

we are bringing to life at our iconic asset

Sylvia Park, and the vision we have for

our undeveloped land holdings at Drury,

in Auckland’s south. Large land holdings,

zoned appropriately, can accommodate

a variety of property uses.

In July, we welcomed Clive Mackenzie

as the Company’s new Chief Executive

Officer. Clive has extensive experience


in retail and mixed-use property

development in New Zealand and the

United States. The board looks forward to

working with Clive and the management

team to review, evolve and implement


our strategy with a view to evolving and

strengthening the Company into a new

phase of growth and opportunity,


while leveraging the Company’s core

capabilities to deliver for our shareholders.

In his role as Chief Executive Officer,

Clive is responsible for the leadership,

strategic direction and management of

the Company. He provides an update

on the first six months of the 2019

financial year from page 8 of this report.

your board

At our annual meeting held in June,

shareholders voted in favour of the

re-election of independent directors

Mike Steur and Jane Freeman and voted

in favour of the election of Mark Powell,

who joined the board in October 2017.

As a result, the board of Kiwi Property

continues to comprise a 100% majority

of independent directors possessing a

diverse range of skills.

people, planet, profit

In December, we will celebrate the

25th anniversary of Kiwi Property listing

on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

Those 25 years have been marked by the

development of a strong and capable

management team, consistent shareholder

returns, assiduous improvements in asset

quality and a track record of building

towards a brighter New Zealand,

highlighted in part by our position as


the top ranked New Zealand company

in the Carbon Disclosure Project and our

sector-leading FTSE4Good rating, which

measures the performance of companies

demonstrating strong environmental,

social and governance (ESG) practices.

We have also maintained a steadfast

commitment to ESG matters, which we

refer to as our focus on ‘people, planet,

profit’, a commitment that assists us to

meet our investment objectives while

building a resilient business.

CHAIR

conclusion

Kiwi Property is an outstanding company,

built by a team of professionals committed

to delivering exceptional experiences


for New Zealanders.

While the rebalancing of our portfolio has

predictably resulted in reduced income in

the short term, due to asset sales, we have

delivered on the strategic imperative we

set ourselves to increase the Company’s

exposure to key assets in our preferred

markets. These asset sales have enabled

us to pay down debt and reduce our

interest expense, while creating balance

sheet flexibility to fund our development

pipeline and pursue other value-added

initiatives that should benefit shareholders

in the longer term.

Looking ahead, we continue to project

the cash dividend for the year ending

31 March 2019 to be 6.95 cents per share,

up from 6.85 cents per share for the

prior year.

I take this opportunity to thank the entire

team at Kiwi Property for their commitment

to a job well done.

On behalf of the board, I also wish to

pass on my thanks to our investors and

stakeholders for your continued support.

I look forward to updating you again on

our progress in 2019.

7

In my first update to you as Chief Executive
Officer, it is my pleasure to report that

the Company is in excellent shape.

Kiwi Property is a formidable business

with a strategy and culture that focuses

our people on delivering excellence.

As noted by the Chair, over the past

several years, we have been actively

rebalancing the composition of our

property portfolio in favour of greater

exposure to Auckland, the nation’s

largest and fastest growing economy.

The execution of this strategy has led to

the successful sale of non-core assets,

including The Majestic Centre office

building in Wellington in December 2017,

and the sale of North City Shopping

Centre in Porirua in July this year.

While these sales have resulted in lower

rental revenue in the short term, we have

continued to grow our dividends to

shareholders and placed ourselves in an

even stronger position to pursue growth

opportunities for long-term benefit.

Our rebalancing programme is almost

complete, leaving the portfolio

positioned strongly. Our portfolio

weighting to Auckland now sits at 69%.

Our retail and office assets continue to

have low vacancies and are supported by

a high-quality tenant mix. Our balance

sheet is robust, and we are well

positioned to deliver new value through

the execution of the developments we

currently have under way (including at

Sylvia Park and Northlands) and future

potential developments at our recently

acquired land at Drury.

As ever, we are focused on creating

spaces where Kiwis want to be – a focus

that provides us with opportunities to

attract high-quality tenants, grow

revenues, build resilient investment

returns and create better experiences

for our tenants and customers.

sound financial result

In the six months to 30 September 2018,

Kiwi Property recorded a net profit after

tax1 of $48.3 million, up from $47.9 million

in the prior corresponding period.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

2

, our

measure of operating performance, was

$52.3 million, down from $54.2 million.

This reflects the loss of income following

the sale of The Majestic Centre and North

City, together with reduced rental income

from the Vero Centre and Sylvia Park.

At the Vero Centre, we held a number of

vacancies to temporarily accommodate

anchor tenants, Russell McVeagh and

Suncorp, while we retrofitted their

existing office tenancies in support of

long-term lease renewals. At Sylvia Park,

Countdown did not renew its lease when

it expired in June 2018. However, post the

period, we were delighted to announce

that customer favourite Kmart will be

coming to Sylvia Park and will commence

a lease in this space from mid-2019.

Like-for-like rental income growth across

the balance of the portfolio was positive,

underpinned by the predominance of

fixed and CPI-related rent reviews across

our portfolio. Rent reviews completed in

the current period resulted in an uplift of

3.2% over prior passing rents.

It is worth noting that, since March 2018,

we have executed 10 new lease agreements

at the Vero Centre for 5,000 sqm of space,

with combined weighted average lease

terms of 7.6 years. The new lease

agreements, which will begin progressively

through to June 2019, reflect an average

rental uplift of 7.7% on prior passing rentals.

growth in dividends

As mentioned by the Chair, shareholders

will receive an interim cash dividend for

the six months ended 30 September 2018


of 3.475 cents per share, up 1.5% from

the prior comparable period and in line

with guidance. The dividend will be paid

on 19 December 2018.

The board has confirmed that the

Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be

available to eligible shareholders for the

period. No discount will be applied to

the price at which the shares are issued.

robust balance sheet and

capital management

Our balance sheet remains strong,

with conservative gearing and diversified

sources of debt.

Our property portfolio was valued at

$3.0 billion (Mar-18: $3.1 billion), reflecting

the 31 March 2018 values, together with

capital expenditure incurred over the

period, predominantly development spend

at Sylvia Park and Northlands, offset by the

sale of North City. Our gearing ratio was

29.4% (Mar-18: 29.7%), reflecting that the

proceeds from the sale of North City have

been offset by value-adding investment

activities within our investment portfolio.

chief executive officer’s report

During the period, we extended
$165 million of existing bank debt facilities

across several lenders. We closed the

reporting period with a weighted average

term to maturity on our finance debt

facilities of 3.3 years and a weighted

average cost of finance debt of 4.97%.

Post the period, we further diversified our

sources of debt funding by completing

our fourth bond issue, raising $100 million

through the issue of seven-year fixed-rate

senior secured bonds paying a coupon of

4.06% per annum. The proceeds have

initially been used to repay bank debt,

resulting in the cancellation of $92 million

of short-dated bank debt facilities.

strategy execution

A significant focus of our investment

strategy is to create a strong, underlying

property investment portfolio while

creating future investment value and

growth opportunities.

development activity

Our development pipeline continues

to play a major role in value creation,

with $140 million of projects nearing

completion and a further $245 million

under way. This includes our new office

tower at No.1 Sylvia Park (leased to IAG

and ANZ), Sylvia Park’s Galleria expansion,

a new central carpark and the conversion

of the old Countdown store into premises

for customer favourite Kmart. The new

food and entertainment precinct we are

delivering at Northlands, Langdons

Quarter, rounds out our current

development projects.

9

No.1 Sylvia Park
During the period, we progressed

construction of the $80 million office

tower at No.1 Sylvia Park and welcomed

the tower’s first tenant, IAG, to its new

home. We also secured ANZ Bank

New Zealand (through its wholly-owned

subsidiary Arawata Assets Limited) on a

nine-year lease over 6,740 sqm of space

in the tower, with the lease to commence

in stages between June and December

2019. ANZ has also secured exclusive

naming and signage rights to Sylvia Park’s

first ever office tower, which forms part of

our plan to build a world-class mixed-use

centre. The building completed at the

end of October 2018.

No.1 Sylvia Park has been designed to

integrate seamlessly with the retail centre

and the new The Grove Dining District,

which opened in December 2017. With a

dedicated entrance, it offers businesses

a truly unique and high-quality working

environment in an easily accessible

location with excellent rail and bus

transport links, allowing staff to take

advantage of the extensive range of

amenities and services at the centre.

Once ANZ takes occupation, there will

be over 1,000 office workers occupying

the building each day who will support

mid-week trading at the centre.

The combined economic benefits we are

able to draw from the mixed-use nature

of Sylvia Park – our first true mixed-use

asset – reflects a part of our investment

strategy that we will continue to evolve.

In addition to the leasing success we have

secured at No.1 Sylvia Park, we have

received unsolicited interest for additional

office product of this type. We continue

to evaluate opportunities to further

strengthen the mixed-use nature of Sylvia

Park, which has additional long-term

development capacity.

galleria

Construction commenced on the

second-level Galleria project in

March 2018, with completion due in

mid-2020. Our retail leasing team is

in discussions with a number of

international and domestic brands to

secure their Sylvia Park entry in the

18,000 sqm expansion. As we have

previously reported, we are thrilled to

have secured Farmers to anchor the

project with a new department store.

central carpark

Sylvia Park’s new central carpark is

expected to open on time and on budget

in November 2018, providing an additional

600 carpark spaces for our shoppers.

Kmart

Post the period, we began work on

creating a new store for Kmart, which will

take up residence in the space formerly

occupied by Countdown at Sylvia Park.

Kmart is an outstanding addition to our

retail line-up. They have proven time and

again that they are prepared to listen to

their customers and give them exciting

new products and experiences for the

right price. This is exactly the type of

retailer we want at Sylvia Park and augurs

well for our Galleria leasing as we look to

provide our customers with outstanding

retail experiences. Kmart is expected to

commence trading in mid-2019.

Langdons Quarter

Outside of Auckland, we are nearing

completion of our Langdons Quarter

development at Northlands in

Christchurch. The updated, modernised

dining precinct, which features 14 great

food offers, is expected to open from late

November 2018. Earlier in the year,

HOYTS unveiled its modernised cinema

offer at Northlands.

transactions

During the period, we settled the

$100 million sale of North City, Porirua.

The shopping centre had long been

identified as a non-core asset in the

portfolio, and the proceeds are assisting

to fund the development projects we

have under way.

Post the period, we also settled the

$9 million purchase of the final land

parcel that makes up our Drury holdings

in South Auckland. Altogether, our Drury

holdings now comprise 51 hectares of

undeveloped land.

Our vision for Drury is the creation of a

mixed-use centre, staged over the next

20 years to coincide with predicted

population growth, household formation

and employment growth in the area.

We are participating in the Council-led

structure plan and completing

masterplanning of the site before

commencing rezoning activities –

the key precursors that will enable us

to realise our vision.

six-month period, resulting in a 3.5% uplift

over prior passing rents.

Our retail portfolio ended the period

99.9% occupied, with a weighted average

lease term of 3.8 years.

Total retail sales for the 12 months

ended 30 September 2018 grew by

2.4% (2.7% like-for-like) to $1.7 billion,

while attracting more than 48 million

shopper visits.

Positive like-for-like sales growth of

between 2.5% and 7.0% were delivered

at all our centres, with the exception of

Northlands, where sales have been

impacted by our development activity

and increased competition in the city.

Our continued focus on improving our

experiential offer for customers continues

to reap rewards, with strong category

performances from cinemas (+8.8%),

wellbeing (+3.3%), mini-majors (+4.8%)

and commercial services (predominantly

mobile phone providers and travel

services) (+8.6%).

office portfolio performance

With long-term leases of between 12 and

18 years over almost all office space in

three of our office buildings (ASB North

Wharf, The Aurora Centre and 44 The

Terrace), together with recent leasing at

chief executive officer’s report

the Vero Centre, the office portfolio’s
weighted average lease term is strong at

10 years – providing long-term security of

income for our shareholders.

Overall office portfolio occupancy sits at

97.6%, impacted by the vacancies we

held at the Vero Centre to accommodate

our lease renewals with key anchor

tenants, Russell McVeagh and Suncorp.

Our forward focus will be on continuing

our leasing momentum and concluding

new leases over the 2,200 sqm of

remaining vacant space.

creating exceptional experiences

Our retail assets contribute 74% of our total

rental income revenue and represent 68%

of our total portfolio value. Ensuring we

create vibrant, in-demand centres where

Kiwis can connect is paramount to our

investment success.

Our Activate team performs two critical

functions within our retail business, which

are to drive additional rental revenue

through casual mall leasing while keeping

our centres fresh and exciting through

pop-up stores and in-mall retail and

community activations.

During the period, Activate generated

$2.63 million of like-for-like rental revenue

from over 340 in-centre activations, up

from $2.55 million in the prior comparable

period. These activations included

exciting entertainment from Weber Circus,

Nintendo Games and family movies,

experiential brand campaigns such as


the Primo Flavour Lab and Cadbury Easter

Egg hunt, car activations from Maserati,

Tesla, Alfa Romeo and Jaguar and a

number of food brand activations where

customers could sample the latest

offering. In addition, many charity

activations were run in support of our


local communities.

Our retail marketing team forms another

critical function in delivering exceptional

experiences for our shoppers. During the

period, the team launched several

initiatives that not only injected exciting

new energy and points of interest to our

centres, but also assisted in our strategy

to build customer loyalty and strengthen

community relations:

−We revealed ‘The Greens’ – a major

waste reduction campaign that

encouraged shoppers to rethink

their waste habits to prevent

unnecessary waste being sent to

landfill. The Greens are five ‘families’

made from more than 10,000 plastic

bottles recycled from our centres.

The families appeared at Sylvia Park,

LynnMall, Centre Place, The Plaza and

Northlands to take our recycling

message to a new level. In five years,

3


we have diverted 310 tonnes of waste

annually from landfill across our

portfolio of shopping centres and

office buildings – enough to fill 507

jumbo bins weighing the equivalent

of a 747 aeroplane – resulting in a

reduction of 137 tonnes of CO

2

e per

annum. The Greens provided an

educational experience for local

communities to engage in recycling

and reducing waste.

−We installed free water bottle filling

stations at each of our shopping

centres in an initiative aimed at

reducing the consumption of

single-use plastic bottles. We are

delighted with the usage of these

stations, with over 17,800 refills already

having been made in the first three

months since installation.

−We are sponsoring TVNZ 2’s Project

Runway New Zealand. Kiwi Property

shopping centres are supplying the

outfit-completing shoes, hats,

jewellery and bags available for

the designers on the famous

‘accessory wall’, which is a mainstay

of the popular Project Runway

series internationally.

Our office assets contribute 24% of

our total rental income revenue and

represent 28% of our total portfolio value.

We are committed to creating office

environments where people love to work.

This is as true for our tenants as it is for

our own people.

During the period, we transitioned

Kiwi Property to a new head office location

on level 7 of our own Vero Centre in

Auckland. The relocation allowed us

to rethink how we work as a business and

to solidify our business goals to increase

productivity, flexibility and collaboration.

It also allowed us to pursue a less-paper

workplace through improved technology.

Significantly, by tenanting a building we

own, we have the advantage of being

able to ‘live’ in the same environment as

our tenants, ensuring we can continue to

provide a best-in-class offer.

outlook

The New Zealand economy continues

to grow. Retail sales growth remains

positive, while investment market

conditions remain supportive.

Our successful efforts to rebalance our

portfolio have provided us with greater

balance sheet flexibility, enabling us to

focus on growth through developments

and considered acquisitions, while still

maintaining conservative levels of debt.

For the balance of the 2019 financial

year, we will continue to optimise the

performance of our portfolio by seeking

to improve our tenant and customer

experiences. We will be especially

focused on completing and advancing

development projects under way at

Sylvia Park and Northlands and

progressing our long-term vision for

our Drury landholdings.

Thank you for your continued support

of Kiwi Property.

depreciation recovered on the PricewaterhouseCoopers Centre (PwC Centre), Christchurch

The impairment of the PwC Centre in the year ended 31 March 2012 (resulting from the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes)

and the associated insurance recovery triggered a potential tax liability for depreciation recovered.

Following the earthquakes, the Government introduced legislation that provides, in certain circumstances, rollover relief for taxpayers

affected by the earthquakes where insurance income will be used to acquire or develop replacement property in the Canterbury region.

The legislation required that the replacement property be available for use by 31 March 2019. As at 30 September 2018, the Group

continues to qualify for this relief and a deferred tax liability of $4.2 million continues to be provided.

In August 2018, the Minister of Revenue announced that the Government will extend the depreciation rollover relief relating to the

Canterbury earthquakes for a further five years through to 31 March 2024. The legislation is currently going through the Parliamentary

approval process. It is anticipated that the replacement property currently expected to be developed by the Group in the Canterbury

region will not be available for use by 31 March 2019, therefore, should the legislation not be passed, the deferred tax liability will

crystallise into a current tax liability in the 2019 financial year.

bank loans

The bank loans are provided by ANZ Bank New Zealand, Bank of New Zealand, China Construction Bank, Commonwealth

Bank of Australia, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Westpac New Zealand.

On 28 September 2018, $165 million of existing bank debt facilities were extended. The facilities, which were due to expire in

the 2022 financial year, will now expire in the 2023 and 2024 financial years.

security

The bank loans and fixed-rate bonds are secured by way of a Global Security Deed (the Deed). Pursuant to the Deed, a security

interest has been granted over all of the assets of the Group. No mortgage has been granted over the Group’s properties, however,

the Deed allows a mortgage to be granted if an event of default occurs.

3.2.2 interest rate derivatives

The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates and uses interest rate derivatives to mitigate these risks by exchanging floating-rate

interest obligations for fixed-rate interest obligations (commonly referred to as interest rate swaps).

The following tables provide details of the fair values, notional values, term and interest rates of the Group’s interest rate derivatives.

In conjunction with the disposal of North City (refer to Note 1.3), interest rate swaps with a face value of $20 million were closed out

during the period for a payment of $1.1 million. The fair value change to the remaining interest rate derivatives for the period was a

loss of $2.9 million. The difference between these two amounts represents the movement in the net interest rate derivative liabilities

from 31 March 2018 to 30 September 2018.

key estimate: fair value of interest rate derivatives

The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by independent treasury advisers using

valuation techniques classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (31 March 2018: Level 2). These are based on the present value of

estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturities of each contract and the current market interest rates at balance date.

Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties. These values are verified against valuations

prepared by the respective counterparties. The valuations were based on market rates at 30 September 2018 of between 1.91% for

the 90-day BKBM and 2.90% for the 10-year swap rate (31 March 2018: 1.96% and 3.06%, respectively).

report on the interim financial statements
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of Kiwi Property Group Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities

(together the “Group”) on pages 14 to 27, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2018, and

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

of cash flows for the period ended on that date and a summary of significant accounting policies and selected explanatory notes.

directors’ responsibility for the

interim financial statements

The directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for the

preparation and presentation of these financial statements in

accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34)

and International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) and for such

internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to

enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the

accompanying financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand

Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Financial

Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity

(NZ SRE 2410). NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether

anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe

that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared

in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34.

As the auditor of the Company, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we

comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of

the annual financial statements.

A review of financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410

is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs

procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily


of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,

and applying analytical and other review procedures. The

procedures performed in a review are substantially less than

those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and

International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not

express an audit opinion on these financial statements.

We are independent of the Group. Our firm carries out other

services for the Group in the areas of audit, other assurance and

executive remuneration benchmarking services. The provision

of these other services has not impaired our independence.

conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that

causes us to believe that these financial statements of the

Company are not prepared, in all material respects, in

accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34.

who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a

body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might

state to the Company’s shareholders those matters which we are

required to state to them in our review 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

the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures,

for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
