Group NPAT (reported)

Directors are pleased to report the Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (RBD on NZX) results for

1H 2020, with a Group Net Profit after Tax (NPAT) of $20.0 million, $0.4 million down on the same

period last year.

The underlying NPAT (excluding non-trading items and the effect of the adoption of the new lease

accounting standard NZ IFRS 16) is $25.0 million, an increase of 14.4% on 1H 2019. When also

taking into account the profit effect of $1.1 million relating to the Starbucks Coffee business sold in

October 2018 the ongoing business NPAT is $4.3 million (19.7%) ahead of 1H 2019.

Total store sales for the Group were $442.6 million, up $11.6 million or +2.7% on 1H 2019. This is

despite the loss of $13.0 million in Starbucks Coffee sales in 1H 2019. Total operating revenue was

$458.8 million, up $12.9 million on prior period.

Combined brand EBITDA at $72.6 million was $3.4 million (+5.0%) up on 1H 2019, largely because

of increased performance of KFC New Zealand which delivered an additional $4.8 million.

Restaurant Brands’ store numbers now total 285, down 20 on the 1H 2019 (due primarily to the

sale of the 22 Starbucks Coffee stores) and comprise 145 in New Zealand, 79 in Hawaii and

61 stores in Australia.

New Zealand operations_

New Zealand operating revenue was $246.8 million, up $2.0 million or +0.8% on 1H 2019.

Total store sales were $230.8 million, an increase of $0.6 million (+0.2%) on last period, with EBITDA

of $43.0 million, a $1.8 million or +4.3% improvement on 1H 2019, driven mainly by the continued

strong performance of the KFC business.

New Zealand operations produced an EBIT (before non-trading items and lease adjustments) of

$25.9 million, up 9.1% on the prior period.

Restaurant Brands’ KFC New Zealand sales were $193.5 million, up 7.9% or $14.2 million on prior

period with same store sales up 5.7%. Continuing successful product promotions, the further roll out

of delivery and the effect of opening three new stores during the period have helped drive the strong

sales growth.

Margins remained strong at 21.6% of sales. In dollar terms EBITDA totalled $41.8 million, up $4.8 million

(+12.9%) on prior period’s result.

Both company-owned and total network store numbers increased by three to a total of 97 and

103 respectively with the opening of the Tauranga Crossing, Bombay and Courtenay Place stores.

The latter is the second in the new CBD-format, following the success of the Fort Street store

which opened in 2017.

Restaurant Brands’ Pizza Hut store sales were down $2.1 million to $18.3 million, despite an increase

in the company’s store network to 30 stores. Same store sales from Restaurant Brands’ stores were

also down -4.4% due to continued competitive pressure, the impact of new stores and new food

delivery companies coming into the market. A revamped menu launched late in 1H 2020 has had

a positive effect on sales and EBITDA which is expected to continue.

Restaurant Brands’ Pizza Hut store earnings were $0.5 million (2.7% of sales), down $1.0 million or

-65.6% on the equivalent period last year reflecting some sales deleverage, ongoing cost pressures

(particularly in relation to increased labour rates) and aggressive price competition in the market.

Total Pizza Hut network sales declined to $53.6 million for the half year, down $2.3 million (-4.0%)

on prior period. Network store numbers increased by 2 to 100 at the end of 1H 2020, with company

owned stores at 30.

The Carl’s Jr. business demonstrated an improved performance as the half year progressed, driven

primarily by the introduction of a delivery channel into a number of stores. The arrangement with our

delivery service provider has been successful to date, driving strong same store sales growth.

Sales were up 8.8% (+9.8% on a same store basis) and this has begun to flow through to improved

earnings with EBITDA of $0.8 million (4.4% of sales), up 18% on last period.

Store numbers remain the same as prior year at 18 stores.

Taco Bell New Zealand

Initial planning and setup is well under way to bring this exciting new brand to the New Zealand market

with the first new store in Auckland targeted to open in November. Initial costs of $0.1 million have

been incurred within concept EBITDA with additional general and administration (G&A) expenses.

Australia operations_

In $NZ terms the Australian business contributed total (KFC) sales of $NZ104.8 million (up 1.4%),

a store EBITDA of $NZ15.5 million (up 2.3%) and EBIT of $NZ6.8 million (down 1.3%). These results

were adversely effected by a strengthening of the NZD-AUD exchange rate.

In $A terms total sales of the KFC business in Australia were $A99.5 million, up $A4.0 million (or

+4.2%) on last period. The ongoing store upgrade program has contributed to positive sales growth,

coupled with encouraging growth generated through the digital channels, including home delivery,

in-store kiosk and mobile app. Same store sales were also strong at +5.9% for the period.

Store EBITDA margins of $A14.8 million (14.9% of sales) were up $A0.8 million or +5.7% on prior

period. The strong underlying results are supported by a well-balanced marketing calendar and

continued product innovation.

Taco Bell Australia

As with New Zealand the planning and set up is well underway with two Taco Bell stores expected

to be opened in New South Wales this calendar year. Initial store set up costs were incurred of

$A0.1 million.

Hawaii operations_

Total sales in Hawaii for the period were $US70.9 million with store level EBITDA of $US9.4 million

generated equating to 13.3% of sales.

In $NZ terms the Hawaiian operations contributed $NZ106.9 million in revenues, $NZ14.1 million

in EBITDA and an EBIT of $NZ5.8 million for the period. These results were all significantly up on

the prior period.

This half year saw another strong performance from Taco Bell with total sales to date of $US42.4

million, up 9.8% in total and 13.7% on a same store basis. A full promotional programme including

both new product releases and the re-introduction of previously successful products, together with

initial returns from refurbished stores all helped to drive the strong sales growth.

Store-level EBITDA rose to $US8.4 million (19.8% of sales) driven by the increased sales, although

the EBITDA margin is down slightly due to continued cost pressure in labour and ingredients.

Store numbers have remained stable during the period at 36. The Company continues with its

refurbishment strategy which has helped to drive sales as store refurbishments are completed.

Three new stores and major refurbishments are underway with more planned for next year.

The Moanalua store reopened after undergoing a major transformation, delivering sales growth

of +29% on its pre-refurbishment levels.

Total sales were slightly up for the brand by $US0.1 million. Improved promotional activity has

helped drive positive sales growth despite the closure of two stores. Same store sales were up

2.9% for the half year. Despite the US Pizza Hut market continuing to struggle, Pizza Hut Hawaii

sales bucked the trend, in particular benefitting from the re-introduction of the Big New Yorker

pizza in the Hawaiian market.

EBITDA at $US1.0 million (3.5% of sales) was in line with prior period despite continued margin

pressure particularly from higher commodity costs and rising direct labour expense from low

unemployment rates.

The company continues with an asset refurbishment strategy that will see a move away from the

larger restaurants into smaller, more cost-effective delivery and carry out (delco) units.

Franchise agreements for a considerable number of stores expire before the end of the calendar

year and negotiations continue with Yum! as to renewal terms.

Corporate and other_

General and administration (G&A) expenses were $20.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million on prior

period. This reflects the impact of some additional headcount from FY19 now rolling into a full year and

additional staff and training costs arising from the establishment of the Taco Bell brand. G&A as a

% of total revenue was 4.6%, up from 4.4% in the prior period.

Depreciation charges of $29.1 million for the half year were $12.7 million higher than the prior period.

This is primarily due to the effect of NZ IFRS 16 which added $14.0 million in lease depreciation.

When adjusted for NZ IFRS 16 the depreciation charge was $1.3 million down on the prior period

mainly because of the sale of the Starbucks Coffee business sold in FY19.

Financing expenses of $13.4 million were up $9.7 million on prior period primarily due to lease interest

of $10.1 million resulting from the adoption of NZ IFRS 16. Bank interest costs were $3.3 million,

$0.4 million lower than prior period with reduced borrowing levels.

Tax expense was $7.7 million and in line with the prior period reflecting similar reported profit levels.

Non-trading items_

Non-trading expenditure for the half year was $2.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million on prior period.

This year’s costs included amortisation of franchise rights acquired on acquisition of QSR Pty Limited

and Pacific Island Restaurants Inc. ($1.1 million), store closure costs ($0.3 million) and relocation and

major refurbishment costs ($0.6 million).

NZ IFRS 16_

The Group adopted the new lease accounting standard, NZ IFRS 16 on 26 February 2019. The impact

of the standard has been significant on the half year financial statements. Net profit after taxation

attributable to shareholders has been negatively impacted by $2.9 million as a result of the lease

depreciation of $14.0 million and lease interest of $10.1 million (partially off-set by the removal of

lease expenses of $20.2 million).

The consolidated statement of financial position has also seen significant changes with total assets

increasing over FY 2019 year-end balance by $421.7 million, primarily through the recognition of

right of use assets ($356.0 million) and the deferred tax implications of the standard. Total liabilities

increased by $442.0 million with the recognition of future lease liabilities of ($428.7 million). The net

impact on retained earnings was a reduction of $46.5 million on adoption of the standard with a

further $2.9 million reduction in net profit during the period.

Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

“The launch of the Taco Bell

brand will see two stores

opening in both New Zealand

and Australia by early 2020.”

Cash flow and balance sheet_

Bank debt at the end of the half year was down to $151.2 million compared to $145.9 million at the

previous year end. As at balance date, the Group had bank debt facilities totalling $NZ258.0 million

in place. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $26.3 million during the period resulting in net debt

reducing by $21.0 million to $109.8 million at the half year.

Operating cash flows continue to improve, up $16.4 million to $63.7 million. However included in this

is a $10.1 million increase in relation to NZ IFRS 16 with the remaining $6.3 million due to enhanced

earnings, albeit with the assistance of positive working capital movements.

Net investing cash outflows at $27.7 million versus $13.9 million in 1H 2019 reflects the increased level

of spend as the Group continues to focus on refurbishing stores throughout the network.

Dividend_

As previously advised, the company is beginning to ramp up its capital expenditure programme.

Planning for the opening of more than 60 Taco Bell stores in New Zealand and Australia over the

next five years is now underway with the first of these due to open this financial year. This, combined

with potential further acquisitions and the refurbishment programme in Hawaii now picking up pace,

is beginning to place significant demands on the capital resources of the company. Therefore the

directors have resolved there will be no interim dividend for FY20.

Outlook_

The overall business continues to deliver solid results across all geographic markets and this strong

performance is expected to continue in the second half of the year.

New store roll outs for the KFC brand will continue in New Zealand and Australia with at least a

further two stores opening in each market. The launch of the Taco Bell brand will see two stores

opening in both New Zealand and Australia by early 2020. The Hawaiian market will see at least

one further Taco Bell transformation completed by the end of the calendar year.

The company continues to evaluate further acquisition opportunities in all three existing markets,

together with the US mainland.

On 30 October 2019 the Group announced a change in balance date to 31 December 2019.

The Directors believe Net Profit after Taxation (excluding non-trading items and the effect of

NZ IFR 16) for the 10 month period will be at least 10% in excess of the comparable period,

absent any changes to economic or market conditions.

Interim Report 202017

Non-GAAP financial measures

for the 28 week period ended 9 September 2019

Non-GAAP financial measures (continued)

for the 28 week period ended 9 September 2019

The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice (“GAAP”) and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These financial

statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as follows:

1. EBITDA before G&A. The Group calculates Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and

Amortisation (“EBITDA”) before G&A (general and administration expenses) by taking net profit

before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing expenses, non-trading items, depreciation,

amortisation and G&A. The Group also refers to this measure as Concept EBITDA before G&A.

The term Concept refers to the Group’s eight operating divisions comprising the New Zealand

divisions (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Carl’s Jr.), two Australian divisions (Taco Bell and KFC)

and the two Hawaiian divisions (Taco Bell and Pizza Hut). The term G&A represents non-store

related overheads.

2. EBIT before non-trading items. Earnings before interest and taxation (“EBIT”) before non-trading

items is calculated by taking net profit before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing

expenses and non-trading items.

3. Non-trading items. Non-trading items represent amounts the Group considers unrelated to the

day to day operational performance of the Group. Excluding non-trading items enables the Group

to measure underlying trends of the business and monitor performance on a consistent basis.

4. EBIT after non-trading items. The Group calculates EBIT after non-trading items by taking net

profit before taxation and adding back financing expenses.

5. Total NPAT excluding non-trading items and NZ IFRS 16. Total Net Profit After Taxation (“NPAT”)

excluding non-trading items and NZ IFRS 16 is calculated by taking net profit after taxation and

adding back (or deducting) non-trading items and NZ IFRS 16 adjustments whilst also allowing

for any tax impact of those items.

The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist

in the understanding of the financial performance and position of the Group but that they should not

be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute for measures reported in accordance with IFRS.

Non-GAAP measures as reported by the Group may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts

reported by other companies.

The following is a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net profit after taxation:

Interim Report 202025

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements

for the 28 week period ended 9 September 2019

1. General information

Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (“Company” or “Parent”), together with its subsidiaries

(the “Group”) operate quick service and takeaway restaurant concepts in New Zealand, Australia,

Hawaii, Guam and Saipan.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The Company

is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (“NZX”) and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”)

and is an issuer in terms of the Financial Reporting Act 2013.

Statutory base

The Company is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC reporting entity under

Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Reporting framework

These unaudited interim financial statements for the 28 week period ended 9 September 2019 (“2020

half year”) have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and should

be read in conjunction with the financial statements published in the Annual Report for the 52 week

period ended 25 February 2019 referred to in these statements as (“2019 full year”). They also

comply with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34).

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand

Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”). These policies have been consistently applied

to all the periods presented, unless otherwise noted.

The Group has a negative working capital balance as the nature of the business results in most

sales being conducted on a cash basis. The Group has bank facilities totalling $258.0 million

(refer to note 13) and has the ability to fully pay debts as they fall due. At balance date the amount

undrawn was $106.8 million.

The Group divides its financial year into thirteen 4-week periods. These unaudited interim financial

statements are for the first 7 periods (28 weeks) of the period ended on 9 September 2019 (2019: 28

weeks ended 10 September 2018). The second half will be for 6 periods (24 weeks). The prior full year

comparative represents the 52 week period ended 25 February 2019 (2019 full year).

To ensure consistency with the current period, comparative figures have been restated where appropriate.

New standards and amendments

There are various standards, amendments and interpretations which were assessed as having an

immaterial impact on the Group. There were no NZ IFRS, NZ IFRIC interpretations or other applicable

IFRS that were effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 26 February 2019

that have had a material impact on the financial statements, except for NZ IFRS 16 Leases.

NZ IFRS 16 was effective for the first time in the FY20 half year results, refer to notes 5 through

10 for the impact of this standard on these financial statements.

2. Segmental reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to

the chief operating decision makers. The Group is split into three geographically distinct operating

divisions; New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii. The chief operating decision makers, responsible for

allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified

as the Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer. The chief operating decision

makers consider the performance of the business from a geographic perspective, being New Zealand,

Australia and Hawaii (including Guam and Saipan) while the performance of the corporate support

function is assessed separately.

The Group is therefore organised into three operating segments, depicting the three geographic

regions the Group operates in and the corporate support function located in New Zealand.

All segments operate quick service and takeaway restaurant concepts. All operating revenue

is from external customers.

The Group evaluates performance and allocates resources to its operating segments on the basis

of segment assets, segment revenues, concept EBITDA before general and administration expenses

and EBIT before non-trading items. EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation

and amortisation. EBIT refers to earnings before interest and taxation.

Leave remediation

Included in non-trading items above is a $0.3 million (half year 2019: $2.0 million, full year 2019

$3.5 million) expense relating to leave remediation. The half year 2020 expense relates to costs

associated with making the payments to affected employees. The Group identified payroll calculation

errors in regards to entitlements under the Holidays Act 2003 which, over time, have resulted in staff

receiving incorrect payments. The specific areas that require remediation date back to 2012, and

primarily relate to the payment rates for annual leave. This amount represents an estimated provision

required for periods prior to the 2018 financial year. Any provisions related to the 2020 half year and

2019 full year have been included as part of operating costs.

6. Right of use assets

The group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 retrospectively from 26 February 2019, but has not restated

comparatives for the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in

the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore

recognised in the opening balance sheet on 26 February 2019.

Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted

using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 26 February 2019. The weighted average lessee’s

incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 26 February 2019 was 4.8%.

The associated right of use assets were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had

always been applied, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments, lease

incentives, onerous or favourable leases recognised in the balance sheet as at 26 February 2019.

The recognised right of use assets are all property leases.

On transition, the Group applied the following practical expedients:

• the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at

26 February 2019 as short-term leases

• the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend

or terminate the lease.

Estimates and judgements applied

In the process of adopting NZ IFRS 16, a number of judgements and estimates have been made. 

These include:

• incremental borrowing rate at the time of adoption

• lease terms, including any rights of renewal expected to be exercised. The Group has assumed that

all rights of renewal are expected to be exercised which is consistent with the Group’s strategy and

previous leases. This judgement has been applied unless a store closure or a decision to relocate a

store is known at the time of adoption

• foreign exchange conversion rates

• application of practical expedients and recognition exemptions allowed by the new standards,

including in respect of low value assets and short-term lease exemptions.

Accounting policy

The Group leases relate to buildings which were all classified as operating leases until 25 February

2019. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were

previously charged to profit and loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Rental

contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 50 years but may have extension options.

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and

conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used

as security for borrowing purposes.

From 26 February 2019, leases are recognised as a right of use asset and a corresponding liability.

Each lease payment is allocated between the lease liability and the finance cost. The finance cost

is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest

on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right of use asset is depreciated over

the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis.

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

• fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable and

• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot

be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would

have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic

environment with similar terms and conditions.

Right of use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease

liability and any restoration costs. These assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight line

method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a

straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short term leases are leases with a lease term

of 12 months or less. Low value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

11. Property, plant and equipment

Acquisitions and disposals

During the half year ended 9 September 2019, the Group acquired assets with a total cost of $26.5

million (2019: $17.1 million) and disposed of assets with a total cost of $11.3 million (2019: $5.3 million).

12. Related party transactions

Transactions with entities with key management or entities related to them

During the period the Group received a reimbursement payment of $4.3 million from Finaccess Capital

in regards to acquisition costs incurred as part of the partial takeover process, which resulted in

Finaccess owning 75% of the company.

This transaction was at arm’s length and performed on normal commercial terms.

13. Loans

The Group has loan facilities in place totalling $NZ258.0 million with the following financial institutions:

• Westpac Banking Corporation – $NZ125.0 million facility expiring on 12 October 2020.

• First Hawaiian Bank – $US51.2 million facility expiring on 16 December 2023.

• MUFG Bank, Ltd – $A50.0 million facility expiring on 12 October 2020.

14. Assets classified as held for sale

Half year 2020 relates to Pizza Hut stores immediately available for sale.

Half year 2019 represents the non-current assets relating to the Starbucks Coffee business which

was sold with settlement late October 2018.

Year end 2019 relates to Pizza Hut stores immediately available for sale.

15. Capital commitments

The Group has capital commitments totalling $23.4 million (half year 2019: $9.1 million) which

are not provided for in these financial statements.

16. Contingent liabilities

There are no contingent liabilities that the directors consider will have a significant impact on the

financial position of the Group (half year 2019: nil).

17. Fair value measurements of financial instruments

Exposure to credit, interest rate and foreign currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s

business. Derivative financial instruments may be used to hedge exposure to fluctuations in foreign

currency exchange rates and interest rates. There have been no changes in the risk management

policies and the nature of the derivative financial instruments since year end. Consistent with the prior

year, the derivatives have been determined to be within level 2 (for the purposes of NZ IFRS 13) of the

fair value hierarchy as all significant inputs required to ascertain the fair values are observable. There

were also no changes in valuation techniques during the period.

18. Deed of Cross Guarantee

Pursuant to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) Class Order 98/1418,

the wholly owned subsidiary, QSR Pty Limited (QSR), is relieved from the Corporations Act 2001

requirement for the preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports.

It is a condition of that class order that Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (RBNZ) and QSR enter

into a Deed of Cross Guarantee (Deed). On 9 February 2017 a Deed was executed between RBNZ,

QSR, Restaurant Brands Australia Pty Limited and Restaurant Brands Australia Holdings Pty Limited

under which each company guarantees the debts of the others.

19. Subsequent events

There are no subsequent events that would have a material effect on these accounts.

Interim Report 202037

Report on the interim financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial statements of Restaurant Brands New Zealand

Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) on pages 18 to 35, which comprise the

consolidated statement of financial position as at 9 September 2019, 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 selected explanatory notes.

Directors’ responsibility for the interim financial statements

The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation

of these interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34

Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard

34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and for such internal control as the Directors determine

is necessary to enable the preparation of interim 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 interim 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 interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not

prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. As the auditors 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 interim 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 interim financial statements.

We are independent of the Group. Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the area

of specified procedures on landlord certificates. 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 interim

financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position

of the Group as at 9 September 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows for the period

then ended, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ 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 shareholders, as a body,

for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
