DIRECTORS' REVIEW
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (“CDI”) is pleased to report that after an extraordinary year, the company recorded a profit after tax of
$30.1 million (2019: $34.1 million) in 2020, which is a very creditable result under challenging circumstances.
Reflecting the fact that the company was able to trade during lockdown and also reflecting active demand in all regions during the year, CDI’s
property sales & other income totaled $88.8 million (2019: $91.8 million). Profit before tax was $41.8 million (2019: $47.4 million).
At 31 December 2020, CDI’s shareholders’ funds increased to $257.1 million (2019: $235.5 million) and total assets also increased to $265.0
million (2019: $240.7 million). Net tangible asset per share (at book value) was 91.7 cents (2019: 84.5 cents).
PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
Our Dominion Road (Papakura, South Auckland) and Kewa Road (North Shore, Auckland) subdivisions both sold well and further stages
commenced development in 2020. Demand was high and we expect that the new additional stages will sell quickly in 2021.
Sales at Prestons Park (Christchurch) were also very positive and we recorded additional sales at Magellan Heights (Hamilton)
and Northwood (Hastings).
During 2020, CDI acquired a total of 1.4 hectares of land in the Hawkes Bay region. Additional acquisitions are being considered in 2021 to
ensure that the company has sufficient development stock in areas where we forecast demand to remain high and which can be developed
and sold over the short to medium term.
The five unit Commercial Centre located at Stonebrook (Rolleston, Selwyn District) is complete and the first lease agreements were signed in Q4 2020
with the tenants commencing their operations during Q1 2021. Construction of the fifteen unit Commercial Centre at Prestons Park, Christchurch has
commenced with Block 1 (five units) scheduled to be completed in July 2021 and Block 2 (ten units) due to be completed in December 2021.
In addition, the company has entered into an agreement for a Design Build and Lease development at one of its commercially-zoned sites
in Wiri, Auckland. This is a very positive step for CDI’s diversification strategy and construction of the warehouse/ office is scheduled to
commence in February 2021.
CDI did not apply for assistance from the government Wage Subsidy programme.
As at 31 December 2020, the independent market value of CDI’s property holdings was $292.8 million (2019: $315.6 million). At cost, the
portfolio was valued at $164.8 million (2019:$182.7 million) in line with CDI’s accounting policies.
DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT
The Board has resolved to maintain its fully imputed ordinary dividend at 3.5 cents per share payable on 14 May 2021. The amount reflects the
profit result achieved in 2020 but will also allow the company to retain earnings to acquire additional land during the course of this year.
The record date will be 30 April 2021. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan will apply to this dividend.
SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
Shareholders should be pleased that CDI was able to achieve a result in 2020 which mirrored 2019 especially in a year which, to put it mildly,
was discombobulating. CDI with its geographically diverse portfolio of residential sections in Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch benefitted
from unusually positive market conditions. While these conditions remain evident, the company is optimistic that 2021 will also see a solid
level of sales across New Zealand for residential sections. New stages will be developed and brought to market to meet this demand including
sections in Kewa Road and Dominion Road in Auckland, and Prestons Park in Christchurch.
Over the past seven years, we have selectively acquired 154.5 hectares of land for our core business of residential development. These
acquisitions will continue as more identified opportunities become available and announcements made in due course. In the past three years,
we have also embarked on strategies to diversify our development programme and revenue stream and we will continue with this where we
believe this is suitable and will deliver additional value to shareholders.
The Board is confident that the acquisitions made and those to be made in 2021 will ensure that the Company is able to secure a sufficient
pipeline of development land to maintain CDI’s future profitable operations.
On behalf of the Board, I thank our staff for their extraordinary work in an extraordinary year.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
4 | CDL Investments New Zealand Limited
All of CDI’s employees are expected to act in the best interests
of CDI and to enhance the reputation of the company. CDI also
has a number of operational policies which must be followed
by employees and the CDI Code of Conduct forms part of each
employee’s employment agreement.
CDI also believes in fair dealing with its customers and suppliers,
shareholders, employees and other stakeholders and external
third parties.
CDI revised its Share Trading Policy in 2018 which applies to
Directors and Officers. It also has a global 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.
BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
(PRINCIPLE 2)
To ensure an effective Board, there should be a
balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience
and perspectives.
CDI’s Board has responsibility, control and oversight of the
business activities, strategic direction and the governance of
CDI and its subsidiary companies. It looks at how the company
is operating, how risk and compliance are managed, approving
financial and other reports and capital expenditure and reporting
to CDI’s shareholders. The Board approves CDI’s budgets and
business plans as well as significant projects and has statutory
obligations for other matters such as the payments of dividends
and the issue of shares. The Board is accountable to CDI’s
shareholders for the company’s performance.
Certain powers are delegated to Board Committees and
Subcommittees. The role of the Committees is detailed under
Principle 3.
Day-to-day management is delegated to the Managing Director
and senior management. The levels of authority are approved by
way of a Delegated Authorities Manual which is reviewed by the
Audit Committee and ultimately approved by the Board.
Appointments to the Board are considered by the Board and
the Board takes into account the skills required to allow it to
carry out its functions and governance role. 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.
CDI’s Constitution specifies a minimum number of three
directors and a maximum number of nine directors at any
one time. Two directors must ordinarily be living in New
Zealand. In line with the NZX Main Board Listing Rules, CDI
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited is committed to maintaining
strong corporate governance in line with best practice at all times. Its
corporate governance framework, set out below, complies materially
with the NZX Corporate Governance Code (“the NZX Code”) as well
as the Financial Markets Authority Corporate Governance Principles
and Guidelines (the FMA Principles).
ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR
(PRINCIPLE 1)
Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model
this behaviour and hold Management accountable for these
standards being followed throughout the organisation.
All of CDI’s directors are bound by the Board’s Code of Ethics which
is as follows:
• Directors shall undertake their duties with due care and
diligence at all times and will conduct themselves honestly and
with integrity. Directors shall not do anything, or cause anything
to be done, which may or does brings CDI or the Board into
disrepute.
• All Directors must act in the best interests of the company and
exercise independent and unfettered judgement. All Directors
must carry out their duties with integrity and honesty and
participate in open and constructive discussions.
• To the best of their ability, Directors will use reasonable
endeavours to ensure that CDI’s records and documents
(including its financial reports) are true and complete and
comply with the requisite reporting standards and controls.
• So that the Board may determine a Director’s independence
and 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 forthwith as well as any
relationships they may have with CDI.
• All Directors shall ensure that they do not support any
organisation other than in a personal capacity without the prior
written approval of the Chairman.
• Directors shall not accept any gifts or personal benefits
from external parties if it could be perceived that this could
compromise or influence any decision by the Board or by CDI.
• All Directors shall maintain and protect the confidentiality of
all information about CDI at all times except where disclosure is
permitted or required by law.
• All Directors shall ensure that they do not use company
information and / or property for personal gain or profit.
All Directors shall use and / or retain Company information
and property only for business purposes in their capacity as
Directors of CDI or to meet legal obligations.
• All Directors shall comply with the laws and regulations that
apply to CDI;
• All Directors shall immediately report any illegal or unethical
behaviour of which they become aware to the Chairman of the
Board and to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited | 5
OUR FRAMEWORK FOR EMBRACING DIVERSITY:
a) Talent Recruitment & Selection Process
- All positions at CDLI are to be filled on the basis of merit
and qualifications.
- We recognise the importance of having a diverse
workforce and thus encouraging people from all
backgrounds to apply to work with our team
b) Learning & Development
- CDLI seeks to develop our employees and to hone their
technical, management and leadership skills.
- Management staff will receive training around Diversity
and EEO awareness .
REVIEW OF POLICY
The company will:
- undertake periodic reviews of its Diversity Policy and its
deliverables;
- obtain diversity metrics from other organisations and
compare them with sector and best practice guidelines;
and
- produce a report on diversity for CDI’s Board and Senior
Management annually.
The Board is in the process of determining its targets for promoting
diversity and is currently aiming for female board representation to
be at least 20% of the Board by 2023.
In terms of CDI’s permanent staff, 50% are male and 50% are female.
BOARD COMMITTEES
(PRINCIPLE 3)
The Board should use committees where this will enhance
its effectiveness in key areas while still retaining board
responsibility.
Committees help the Board in carrying out its responsibilities
and CDI currently has one standing committee being its Audit
Committee which is comprised solely of Independent Directors. The
current members of the Audit Committee are Roy Austin (Chair),
John Henderson and BK Chiu. Senior management attend only by
invitation.
The table below reports attendance of the Audit Committee members
during 2020:

The Board also forms subcommittees as and when required.
The Audit Committee recently reviewed and revised its charter
which will be published shortly. The charter outlines the Committee’s
membership, role and responsibilities which include receiving reports
from the internal and external auditors, make recommendations

is required to have at least two Independent Directors. Currently,
CDI has determined that its Chair Colin Sim and Messrs. Austin
and Henderson are Independent Directors as none of them have
a Disqualifying Relationship (as that term is defined in the
NZX Main Board Listing Rules) or Substantial Product Holders.
Messrs Chiu, Kwek and Yeo are not considered by the Board to be
Independent Directors.
Board meetings are generally held quarterly with additional
meetings convened when required. The table below details directors’
attendances during 2020.

The Board encourages all directors to undertake their own continuous
education so that they can perform their duties as directors and
provide maximum benefit to the Board and to shareholders.
In 2018, CDLI adopted a Diversity Policy with the following principles:
• We encourage diversity and inclusion in the workplace, not
just because it is best practice, but also because it makes good
business sense.
• We create a working environment free of harassment,
victimisation and unlawful discrimination and have a
whistleblowing policy in place. We promote dignity and respect
for all employees where individual differences and their
contributions are recognised and valued.
• These principles apply to our own staff, suppliers and
stakeholders and we aim to apply them in our local communities
as well.

about the audit services, oversee those audit services and reviewing
and recommending the Company’s financial statements (half-year
and full year) and corporate governance policies.
CDI formed a Nominations Committee of the Board comprising
Messrs. Austin and Chiu in 2020. The Committee has been
considering possible nominations for a new appointment to
the Board.
CDI does not currently have a Remuneration Committee. The Board
as a whole deals with the issues that would normally be dealt with
by these committees and conducts periodic reviews of its fees and
the remuneration of the Managing Director and senior management.
Vacancies and appointments to the Board are considered by the
Board as a whole. For those reasons, CDI does not consider it
necessary to form and maintain either Committee at this time.
The Board has not established a protocol which sets out procedures
to be followed in the event of a takeover offer being received by
the Company. This is because the Board considers that receipt of
a takeover offer to be a very unlikely event in light of CDL Hotels
Holdings New Zealand Limited’s long-term majority shareholding
in the Company. CDI is also the owner of property assets including
“sensitive land” (as defined under the Overseas Investment Act 2015)
which, if the subject of an overseas takeover offer, would require
regulatory and / or government approvals for their acquisition.
CDI’s Board believes that the Company would have sufficient time
to adopt protocols and procedures necessary to respond to any such
offer when received and to communicate those to shareholders. CDI’s
Board therefore believes that it is reasonable and appropriate for the
Company not to follow Recommendation 3.6 of the new Code at this
time but agrees with the principles behind Recommendation 3.6.
REPORTING & DISCLOSURE
(PRINCIPLE 4)
The Board should demand integrity in financial and
non-financial reporting and in the timeliness and balance
of corporate disclosures.
As an NZX-listed entity, CDI recognises the need to ensure that it
is fully compliant in terms of reporting and disclosure and has in
place a Continuous Disclosure Policy (CDP) which applies to CDI,
its subsidiaries (“Group”), and all their respective directors and
employees. The Board has appointed the Chairman, the Chairman
of the Audit Committee, the Managing Director, the Company
Secretary and the Vice President Finance to act as CDI’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 disclosure of any information in
accordance with the CDP;
• Approving the content of any disclosure to NZX (including
matters not directly covered by the CDP);
• Ensuring that all employees and directors within the Group
whom the Committee considers appropriate receive a copy of
the CDP 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 advisers in respect of CDI’s compliance with
its continuous disclosure obligations.
The key points from the CDP are:
• No person may release material information concerning CDI
to any person who is not authorised to receive it without the
approval of the Disclosure Committee.
• The Board will consider at each Board meeting whether there
is any information that may require disclosure in accordance
with the CDP, and will note any disclosures made subsequent to
the prior meeting. Any employee or director of CDI must inform
a member of the Disclosure Committee as soon as practicable
after that person becomes aware of any material information.
• The CDP 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 reasonable person would not expect the information to be
disclosed; and
b) the information is confidential and its confidentiality is
maintained; and
c) one or more of the following applies:
i) it would breach the law to disclose the information; or
ii) the information concerns an incomplete proposal or
negotiation; or
iii) the information comprises matters of supposition or is
insufficiently definite to warrant disclosure; or
iv) the information is generated for internal management
purposes of CDI or its subsidiaries; or
v) the information is a trade secret.
The Disclosure Committee will ensure that all Board members, not
already aware of the information, are promptly provided with it.
• The Disclosure Committee is responsible for CDI’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.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE – continued
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited | 7
RISK MANAGEMENT
(PRINCIPLE 6)
Directors should have a sound understanding of the material
risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The
Board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate
processes that identify and manage potential and material
risks.
CDI’s Board, Audit Committee and Management Team all have a role
in identifying areas of risk and understanding their impact on the
Company as well as how these areas are to be mitigated.
CDI’s Management Team is responsible for the day-to-day
identification, assessment and management of risks applicable to
the Company as well as the implementation of appropriate controls,
processes and policies to manage such risks. Management also
ensures that there are training programmes in place to identify,
mitigate or eliminate hazards and risks in the workplace.
The Audit Committee’s role is to review and report to the Board on
the adequacy of Management’s oversight and implementation of
risks with particular regard to financial and operational risks. The
Audit Committee also has oversight of the Company’s Internal Audit
function and reviews internal audit reports as part of its duties.
The Board is ultimately responsible for the oversight and
implementation of the Company’s responses to risk management.
CDI’s Board has identified four main risks areas being Market,
Operational, Financial and Global Risks. Market Risks may arise
through changes in demand from customers, competitor pricing
development trends and external events. Operational Risks may
arise from changes to the regulatory environment such as district
or local plan changes, health and safety issues, material changes
to CDI’s subdivisions and development plans or strategy, overseas
investment legislation, key personnel changes and other such events.
Financial Risks may arise where earnings or cashflow change or are
affected in some way due to adverse customer demand or other
market conditions or events within or outside CDI’s control. Global
Risks refer to situations like a global catastrophe, natural disaster or
crisis event which is beyond CDI’s control but have an impact on its
earnings and / or operations.
CDI has a series of internal controls in place covering such areas
as financial monitoring and reporting, human resources and risk
management. The primary responsibility for monitoring and reporting
against internal controls and remedying any deficiencies lies with
Management.
CDI also keeps current insurances appropriate to its business with
reputable global insurers.
• All employees of CDI, 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 Disclosure Committee is also responsible for co-ordinating
CDI’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 CDI must comply with the
CDP, 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 presentations used in briefings should be released to
NZX for immediate release to the market.
Prior to approval and release of CDI’s half year and full year results,
the Vice President Finance and Company Secretary are required to
provide a letter of representation to the Board (or its nominated
subcommittee) that the financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice and are
correct in all material respects.
Copies of annual reports and key corporate governance documents and
policies are available at https://cdlinvestments.co.nz/corporate_profile/.
REMUNERATION
(PRINCIPLE 5)
The remuneration of directors and executives should be
transparent, fair and reasonable.
The total pool for Directors’ Fees is capped at $180,000 and was
last approved by shareholders in 1996. All non-executive directors
receive a base fee of NZ$30,000 per annum. The Chair of the Audit
Committee receives a further NZ$5,000 per annum. Executive
Directors do not receive Directors’ or Committee fees.
Employee (including the Managing Director and senior management)
remuneration is made up of two primary components being a fixed
component and a short term incentive. Remuneration is determined
with reference to market information as well as the responsibilities
of the position, experience and overall performance. Short term
incentives are designed to reward high performing employees with
appropriate incentives which are measured on key performance
indicators which are reviewed and monitored regularly and company
performance. The Company reserves the right to suspend or adjust
incentives if targets are not met. CDI does not currently have an
employee share plan or a long term incentive scheme.

AUDITORS
(PRINCIPLE 7)
The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the
external audit process.
External Audit plays a critical role in ensuring the integrity of
financial reporting. The role of the external auditor is to plan and
carry out an audit of CDI’s annual financial reports and review the
half-yearly reports. The Audit Committee reviews the performance
and independence of the external auditors.
CDI has in place an External Auditor Independence Policy which deals
with the provision of services by the CDI’s external auditors, auditor
rotation and the 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 that firm:
• would be regarded 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;
• audit partners are members of Chartered Accountants Australia
New Zealand (CAANZ);
• has not, within two years prior to the commencement of the
audit, had as a member of its audit engagement team CDI’s
Managing Director, Vice President Finance, Group Accounting
Manager, or any member of the Company’s Management who
acts in a financial oversight role.
• does not allow the direct compensation of its audit partners for
selling non-audit services to CDI.
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 separation between internal audit and external audit should
be maintained.
CDI’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 CDI’s auditors to provide the
following services:
• due diligence (except valuations) on proposed transactions;
• review 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;
• listing advice;
• accounting/technical training; and
• taxation services of an assurance nature
It is not considered appropriate for CDI’s external auditors to provide:
• book keeping services related to accounting records or financial
statements;
• tax planning and strategy services unless specifically approved
by the Audit Committee;
• appraisal / valuation services including opinions as to fairness;
• provision of payroll services;
• the design or implementation of financial information systems;
• outsourced internal audit and risk management services;
• legal services;
• 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 CDI’s external
auditors should not include any contingent fees.
CDI’s expects that its 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.
The nature of services provided by CDI’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. This policy
does not prescribe any particular ratio of non-audit service fees to
audit fees but the Committee shall monitor the fees and ratio.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE – continued
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited | 9
The continued appointment of CDI’s external auditors is 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 2 year
cooling off period (i.e. 2 years must expire between the rotation
of an audit partner and that partner’s next engagement with the
Company).
The hiring by CDI 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 are currently CDI’s external auditor and the lead external audit
engagement partner was rotated in 2018.
The Audit Committee monitors local and overseas practice on auditor
independence regularly to ensure that this policy remains consistent
with best practice and meets CDI’s requirements.
CDI’s external auditors also attend the Company’s Annual Meeting
to answer any questions from shareholders as to the audit and the
content of the Annual Report.
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS & COMMUNICATION
(PRINCIPLE 8)
The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster
constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage

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 2020 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 prepared 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 17 February 2021.
(b) Basis of preparation
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) 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.
(d) Property, 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 straightline method to allocate cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Plant and equipment 3 - 10 years
(e) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are stated at cost.
(f) Revenue
Revenue represents amounts derived from land and property sales, and is recognised when the customer obtains control of the property
and is able to direct and obtain the benefits from the property. The customer gains control of the property when the Company receives full
and final consideration for the property and the Company transfers over the Certificate of Title.

For the year ended 31 December 2020
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 from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses,
• whose operating 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 15, 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
$161,438,000 (2019: $182,679,000) while the market value determined by an independent registered valuer is $286,380,000 (2019: $315,620,000).

Adjusted for: Under/(over) provided in prior years 5 7
11,712 1 3,286
Effective tax rate 28% 28%
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.

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 (2019: nil) has been capitalised during the year. Development property includes deposits paid on
unconditional contracts for development land.
The Group’s inventory of development property is reviewed at each balance date to ensure its carrying amount is recorded at the lower of
its cost and net realisable value. The net realisable value of the development property is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The determination of net realisable value of inventory
involves estimates taking into consideration prevailing market conditions, current prices and expected date of commencement and completion
of the project, the estimated future selling price, cost to complete projects and selling costs. An impairment loss is recognised in the income
statement to the extent that the carrying value of development property exceeds its estimated net realisable value.
The value of development property held at 31 December 2020 was determined, on an open market existing use basis, by an independent
registered valuer, DM Koomen SPINZ of Extensor Advisory Limited as $286.4 million (2019: $315.6 million). The fair value is determined to
estimate the net realisable value.
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).

Investment properties consist of retail shops at Stonebrook in Rolleston and retail shops at Prestons Park in Christchurch. The former were
completed during December 2020 while the latter are currently under construction. The fair value of investment properties held at 31 December
2020 was determined by an independent registered valuer, DM Koomen SPINZ, of Extensor Advisory Limited as $6.43 million (2019: nil).
Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary
course of business, use in the production or supply of goods and services, or for administrative purposes.
Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is
directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment properties. Costs of self-constructed investment properties include costs of materials
and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment properties to a working condition for their intended use and
capitalised borrowing costs. Gains and losses on disposal of investment properties (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from
disposal and the carrying amounts of the investment properties) are recognised in the profit and loss.
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 capitalisation of the assessed market rentals allowing for vacancies and leasing fees to derive
the fair values. The major unobservable inputs that are used in the valuation model that require judgement include the rental rate on the
individual tenancy, allowances for vacancies, estimation of leasing fees, and interest rates during the holding period. The estimated fair value
would increase or (decrease) if: the individual rental rates were higher/(lower); the allowances for vacancies were (higher)/lower; the allowances
of leasing fees were lower/(higher); and the interest rate during the holding period was lower/(higher).

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 nonderivative 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.

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 (2019: 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.
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 $579,000 (2019: $299,000)
in the current period.
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.
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 receivable, 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.
16. CAPITAL AND LAND DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
As at 31 December 2020, the Group had entered into contractual commitments for development expenditure and purchases of land.
Contractual agreements for the purchase of land are subject to a satisfactory outcome of the Group's due diligence process, board approval,
and OIO approval. Development expenditure represents amounts contracted and forecast to be incurred in 2021 in accordance with the Group’s
development programme.

Non-executive directors receive director’s fees only. The executive directors do not receive remuneration or any other benefits as a director of
the Parent Company or of the Company’s subsidiary.
Total remuneration of non-executive directors is included in “administrative and other expenses” (see Note 3).
Investment in associate
The Company’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 (2019: nil).
The net assets of Prestons Road Limited, not adjusted for the percentage ownership held by the Group, is $6,000 with the Group’s share equal
to $2,000. Prestons Road Limited has a 31 March balance date. No adjustment is made for the difference in balance date of Prestons Road
Limited, because it has no profits to report.
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 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.

2020 development properties amounted to $161.4
million representing 62.8% of net assets in 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 Directors’ review, disclosures relating to corporate governance, the trend
statement and financial summary and the other information 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 Directors’ 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 report
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 control 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.
