OUR THREE-YEAR PLAN FOR GROWTH
The results of our
Simplify, De-Risk and
Growth strategies are
now becoming clear and
the changes we have
made are delivering both
market share growth
and margin expansion,
as well as de-risking the
business.
We have identified four
key areas underpinning
earnings growth and
these will be our focus
going forward.
RETAIL OPTIMISATION
Optimising the property network and customer experience
for retail consumers
VEHICLE PURCHASING DECISION-MAKING
Diagnostic tools and use of data tools to improve on the
percentage of profit making vehicles
PREMIUM LENDING
Use of comprehensive credit data to strengthen our risk
pricing strategy attracting higher quality borrowers, with
lower margins more than offset by much lower impairments
and losses
CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN DIGITAL AND
OMNI-CHANNEL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Digital initiatives across all businesses to create efficiencies
and provide an enhanced customer experience
We have already found the right formula and will
continue to optimise these areas to drive further
earnings growth in all our businesses.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021
CHAIR AND CEO’S REPORT
Many of the changes we
have made over the last
two to three years are
now starting to provide
strong traction and we
were pleased to report a
record profit and record
dividend in FY21.
The used car market proved resilient during the year and
rebounded strongly following the initial COVID-lockdowns.
We saw the benefits of the `high trust’ Turners brand during
this time as consumers turned to us for their vehicle needs.
Our team responded incredibly well to the pandemic. Their
high levels of engagement combined with the diversified
nature of the business, ensured we were well positioned as
we moved out of lockdown. “We went early” on our cost
reduction plans and a number of the changes we have made
in the business over the last few years put us in a position to
be able to take advantage of the opportunities available to us.
As a group, we have continued to build quality customer
experiences, and improve the quality of the work environment
for our people, which in turn will deliver quality returns for our
shareholders.
Margin expansion and market share gains are helping deliver
the bottom line growth that we knew was possible, and the
mix of diversified earnings is delivering the consistent growth
plus yield that shareholders are looking for.
STRONG FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Although a disrupted operating period saw FY21 revenue
down 11% to $296.5m, a strong response from the business,
including acceleration of our digital strategy and rigorous cost
management saw three of our four divisions lift profit strongly.
Only Credit Management was down on last year’s result with
a number of our corporate and bank customers reluctant to
pursue debt aggressively over the COVID-19 period.
Demonstrating the benefits of the Group’s diversified annuity
businesses, profit rose 50% in Insurance, 30% in Finance
and 11% in Automotive Retail, contributing to strong and
sustainable yield. Profit in the Credit Management business
was down 22%.
We remain committed to delivering a strong and sustainable
yield to shareholders and were pleased to deliver record
dividends of 20 cents per share in FY21. This is a payout ratio
of 64% of net profit after tax.
Our funding remains at conservative levels,
with plenty of headroom to support our growth
plans. During the year, we increased the size
of the securitisation warehouse with BNZ
from $250m to $300m which is a strong vote
of confidence from their credit analysis and
scrutiny.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
BY DIVISION
Turners’ Auto Retail, Finance and Insurance
divisions all delivered significantly improved
earnings. Only Credit Management had an
earnings decrease year on year, which was
due to the reduced debt load during the last
12 months as many of the large banks stopped
collection actions due to the reputational risk
during COVID-19.
AUTO RETAIL
Revenue $201.0m – 11%
Operating Profit $15.4m +11%
The Auto Retail division revenue was 11% lower
at $201.0m, reflecting fewer units, an impact of
the national and regional lockdowns. Volumes
have recovered in the second half of the year
and improving margins have been a significant
driver of profitability. Margin expansion is due
to a number of buying initiatives and a result
of tight supply of cars nationally, due to supply
constraints for new cars.
Reducing the cost base was a key priority
out of lockdown. The used car market has
demonstrated resilience, not just rebounding
after lockdowns, but through the economic
cycle.
FINANCE
Revenue $47.9m +5%
Operating Profit $15.8m +30%
The Finance division is now a significant
contributor to group earnings and has gone
from strength to strength over the last 12
months, with the highest segmental NPBT.
Revenue for FY21 was $47.9m, up 5% on last
year. NPBT was $15.8m up 30% of the year
prior, continuing to gain market share in the
high quality borrower segment of customers,
providing more than 45% of the new loans
written each month in the premium risk tier.
Targeting high-quality borrowers means arrears
are at record low levels with Consumer arrears
at 4.2% and Commercial arrears at 1.8%. Finance
has retained a COVID-19 arrears provision buffer
to allow for any unemployment increase in
future months.
INSURANCE
Revenue $41.9m -5%
Operating Profit $9.4m +50%
Insurance revenue decreased 5% to $41.9m
due to the impact of national and regional
lockdowns.
Our company is in a real position of strength and
we are very confident in our growth plans.
Record dividends
in FY21 equated to
a gross yield of
8.1% p.a*
*based on a share price of $3.42
as at 31 March 2021

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Health and safety remains a priority and at the
start of the pandemic, we moved quickly to
create new ways of working, to keep our people
and our customers safe during this time.
We believe in doing the right thing for our
customers and our people, and are committed
to ethical and fair conduct. During FY21, we
dealt with 1,700+ customer hardship situations
in Oxford Finance and successfully rehabilitated
96% of those over the last 12 months.
We are conscious that we operate in a sector
which has a high carbon footprint and are
in the process of measuring our own carbon
impact. We are helping by removing old and
end of life cars off the road and are making a
serious investment into increasing our Turners
Subscription electric vehicle fleet, which makes
it more accessible for people to try and drive an
EV car.
We also take sustainability into account when
building new sites and premises. We are piloting
solar power installations in two of our sites and
have committed to rainwater retention systems.
LOOKING FORWARD
A STRONG FOCUS ON ORGANIC GROWTH
Our growth plan has developed over the last 24
months and we are confident our actions will
deliver continuing growth over the next three
years.
Four key areas will underpin our earnings
growth. These will be a combination of both
physical and digital investments and initiatives
are already underway.
1. Retail Optimisation across people, property
and processes.
2. Vehicle purchasing decision-making using
data and tools to help identify new sourcing
opportunities and ensure our vehicle buyers
are maximising opportunities
3. Growing premium lending within Finance
4. Continued investment in digital and
improving our omni-channel customer
experience which allows customers to
engage with us however, whenever and
wherever they want.
Our focus is on organic growth which will be
funded out of retained earnings and we are
continually assessing ways to make our business
more capital efficient.
Net Profit Before Tax Bridge ($M)
Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased for the
year due to a number of key competitive wins
and risk pricing adjustments and despite the
lockdowns was 2% ahead of FY20. NPBT was
up 50% to $9.4m on higher margins, reduced
claims, lower overhead costs, and the finish
of amortising the acquired premium portfolio
as part of the Autosure acquisition from Vero
in 2017. Progress on building our distribution
over the year included two sizeable system
integration projects completed with Marac
Finance and MTF Finance. Combined claims
ratios improved from 69% in FY20 to 60% in
FY21.
CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Revenue $12.8m -29%
Operating Profit $5.1m -22%
Credit Management revenue decreased 29%
to $12.8m, due to the impact of COVID-19 and
the market-wide conservatism with respect to
debt collection during the first phase of the
pandemic. Debt load was down 47% to $119m
over the FY21 year as a result of this reputation
management. Many large corporate customers
only recently once again began initiating
collection actions. Despite revenue being down
29%, NPBT was only down 22% to $5.1m. The
division is working closely with referrers to
manage and improve customer outcomes as we
operate in an environment where bad debts are
likely to increase and debt collection services
will see increasing demand. We have now seen
lenders who were prioritising reputation over
collections, reinitiate debt load and collections
work. A similar pattern was experienced post
the GFC, before a busy collection period began.
SUSTAINABILTY
Our drive to create a better business
encompasses not only delivering returns to our
shareholders, but also supporting our people,
our communities and our environment.
As would be expected, the focus of our
sustainability strategy in FY21 was primarily
around looking after the welfare of our staff and
the needs of our customers. At no other time
has the importance of supporting our people
been more evident and staff welfare and safety
was a priority. We were able to keep many staff
working from home and financially supported
those who were unable to work.
We have implemented Peakon, an employee
engagement survey which gives our people
a regular opportunity to provide feedback
on a whole range of topics, including
employee engagement. We have seen positive
improvement in our scores since launch
and are very pleased with the high levels of
engagement right across the group.
Peakon Employee Engagement Scores
Across nearly 700 employees we are
averaging 8+ out of 10 to the question
“how likely is it that you would recommend
Turners Auto Group as a place to work?”.

FY22 OUTLOOK
FY22 to date has seen a continuation of the positive
momentum Turners has enjoyed over the past 10 months.
In Automotive Retail, we are expecting the supply-constrained
market to continue for 12-18 months due primarily to impacts
on the new car supply chain. New lending in the finance
business will be strong and our expectation is that arrears
will continue to improve, as the weighting towards newly
introduced premium loans grows as a percentage of the book.
In Insurance, we expect new policy sales to be buoyant and
claims ratios to stabilise. Lastly, in Credit Management, debt
recovery is returning as corporate customers start to get back
to business as usual.
The Turners business and, in particular, the Auto Retail and
Credit Management businesses are highly cash generative
which gives us the opportunity to deliver growth + yield for
shareholders.
We have full confidence that our growth plans will support our
continued positive momentum in FY22. We look forward to
delivering another year of value to our people, our customers
and our shareholders.
Grant Baker Todd Hunter
Chairman Group Chief Executive Officer
We have identified key work
streams in each of our divisions.
In Auto Retail, stock acquisition
is the single most important area
of investment. Strategically this
is where our competitive moat
becomes even wider. In Finance,
simplifying and automating as
much of our lending process
is the number one priority. In
Insurance, continuing to expand
our distribution is the top of the
work stream list; and in Credit
Management, investing in data
initiatives to improve contact
rates will be the most important
area we will be working on.
Shareholders should expect to see a further
improved result in FY22 and, accordingly, a
corresponding increase in FY22 dividends.

A GREEN SUBSCRIPTION OPPORTUNITY
Consumer interest in
Turners Subscription
platform is steadily
building and the addition
of electric vehicles is
proving an added bonus
for those looking for a
‘greener’ drive.
Subscription is a great way to make EVs far
more accessible to more Kiwis and allow people
to really experience an EV and assess whether it
will work for them before committing to the full
cost of purchase.
The Saunders-Smeath family from Northland
were amongst the first in New Zealand to
make use of an innovative new Electric Vehicle
subscription service available from Turners.
“We’ve learnt a lot about EV’s and their
potential with regards to sustainability
opportunities now and into the future,” said
Chris Saunders. “We had some preconceived
ideas about what it might be like, so the chance
to drive the vehicle for an extended time has
been quite an eye-opener.”
Asked whether they would consider buying an
EV, Chris said “Yes, after the experience we’ve
had, we certainly would consider doing so.”
Turners Subscription launched in October 2020
and uptake has been growing from customers
looking for the flexibility and convenience that a
subscription service offers.
Instagram https://www.instagram.com/
turnerssubscription/
Website www.turnerssubscription.co.nz
Turners now has more than twenty electric vehicles available
for subscription from as low as $112 per week. The initial
ten vehicles were co-funded through the Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Authority (EECA) low emission vehicles
contestable fund, a programme designed to accelerate EV
uptake in New Zealand.
Turners Subscription provides customers with the opportunity
to try cars that they ordinarily may not consider purchasing,
such as electric vehicles. We know with EVs the large capital
outlay is a major impediment to uptake.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021
EXPANDING OUR RETAIL NETWORK
In FY21, we expanded our portfolio as follows:
■
Dunedin (May 20) – replaced an existing site with a
new site almost double the size (9,000m2) and created
a much better retail experience for customers.
■
Westgate Auckland (Oct 20) – Opened a new retail-
optimised site in the up and coming development area
of Westgate in West Auckland.
■
Otahuhu Auckland (Jan 21) – established a new retail
site in Otahuhu as part of the reconfiguration of the
Auckland footprint which included exiting the large
wholesale facility at Penrose.
We have been building up a portfolio of
property assets within Turners Automotive
Group over the last seven years. We have
been able to leverage some of the insurance
company reserves to invest in these properties
to support the Auto Retail division. The
developed properties are on the balance sheet
at a cost of $47.3m.
Based on valuations received at FY21 year
end, the conservative market valuation of the
developed properties is now at $61.3m which
represents an unrealised gain of $14m. We
have recently purchased two new properties to
develop in Rotorua and Nelson which will come
onstream in FY22. These will take our property
portfolio to 9 sites.
We continue to optimise our
Auto Retail network as we
aim to be closer and more
accessible to our customers
and progress the transition
from wholesale to retail. We
regularly assess new regions

FY21 FINANCIAL REVIEW
This financial
commentary should
be read in conjunction
with the full financial
statements and Notes to
the Financial Statements
in the FY21 Annual
Report.
REVENUE
The disrupted operating period saw FY21 revenue down 11%
to $296.5m. Auto Retail, Finance and Insurance sales were
directly impacted by the hard lockdown in April/May, and
the later regional lockdowns to a lesser extent. The used car
market recovered strongly following lockdown, with a positive
impact on revenue in the second half for all three businesses.
The Finance book also reflects better quality business written
at lower interest rates. Credit management revenue impacted
by lack of debt load from major banks as they managed
reputational risk.
PROFIT
Turners Net Profit Before Tax of $37.4m was a 29% increase on
the prior year.
Demonstrating the benefits of the Group’s diversified annuity
businesses, profit rose 50% in Insurance, 30% in Finance and
11% in Automotive Retail. Profit in the Credit Management
business was down 22%.
Auto Retail’s result was underpinned by stronger commercial
business and improved margins on owned inventory. Finance
was driven by writing higher quality new business and the
resulting improved arrears performance; and Insurance result
reflects improvement in claims ratios and cost base.
Net Profit After Tax was up 28% to $26.9m.
Underlying Net Profit Before Tax was up 19% to $34.3m
2
.
While there were a number of COVID-related impacts to profit
in 1H21, there were no one-off adjustments in 2H21. Turners’
run rate is expected to continue at this rate of $3 million-plus
in operating profit per month.
BALANCE SHEET
The balance sheet has the capacity to support growth.
The cash balance has now reduced to ‘normal’ levels following the precautionary increase in cash
held in April and May 2020 due to the COVID pandemic.
Inventory reduction is due to improved stock turn and management of aged stock.
Growing property portfolio with completed sites valued at $61.3 million at FY21 year end (on the
balance sheet at cost of $47.3m).
The change in Finance receivables reflects quality ledger growth in Oxford.
The property, plant and equipment increase is due to the development of the new site in Otahuhu
and the purchase of a site in Nelson.
Borrowings reflect some de-leveraging that occurred post lockdown, offset by funding to support
the growth in Oxford finance lending.
FUNDING MIX
Turners’ funding remains at conservative levels and is optimised to support growth plans.
Three quarters of debt (77%) relates to finance receivables, of which nearly a quarter of those
receivables are supported by Turners’ equity. This means we have plenty of capacity from a capital and
funding point of view to keep Oxford Finance growing. Oxford Finance has an equity to total assets
ratio of 23% and currently has capacity to underpin a further 18 months growth in the finance book.
The Securitisation funding facility limit was increased to $300m (including capital contribution from
TRA), to support growth in Oxford.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders o f Turners Automotive Group Limited
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Turners Automotive Group Limited and its
subsidiaries ('the Group') on pages 33 to 86, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 31 March 2021, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of
changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
consolidated financial statements, including significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2021, and its consolidated financial performance
and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards ('NZ IFRS') and International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').
Our report is made solely to the Shareholders of the Group. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the Shareholders of the Group those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s
report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the Shareholders of the Group as a body, for our audit work, for our report
or for the opinions we have formed.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) ('ISAs (NZ)').
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance
with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) International Code o f Ethics for Assurance Practitioners
(including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have f
ulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other than in our capacity as auditor and provider of other assurance services we have no relationship with, or
interests in, Turners Automotive Group Limited or any of its subsidiaries. The provision of these other assurance
services has not impaired our independence.
27
In addition to this, principals and employees of our firm deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary
course of trading activities of the business of the Group. This has not impaired our independence.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment testing of Goodwill and Other Indefinite
Life Intangible Assets
As disclosed in Note 22 of the Group’s consolidated
financial statements the Group has goodwill of
$92.5m allocated across four of the Group’s cash-
generating units (‘CGUs’) and brand assets of
$67.1m allocated across two of those CGUs.
Goodwill and brand assets were significant to our
audit due to the size of the assets and the
subjectivity, complexity and uncertainty inherent in
the measurement of the recoverable amount of
these CGUs for the purpose of the required annual
impairment test. The measurement of a CGUs
recoverable amount includes the assessment and
calculation of its ‘value in-use’.
Management has completed the annual
impairment test for each of these four CGUs as at
31 March 2021.
This annual impairment test involves complex and
subjective estimation and judgement by
Management on the future performance of the
CGUs, discount rates applied to the future cash
flow forecasts, the terminal growth rates, and
future market and economic conditions.
Management has also engaged an external
valuation expert to assist in the annual impairment
testing of the four CGUs.
Our audit procedures among others included:
•Understanding the Group’s internal controls relevant to the accounting
estimates used to determine the recoverable value of the Group’s CGUs.
•Evaluating Management’s determination of the Group’s four CGUs based
on our understanding of the nature of the Group’s business and the
economic environment in which the segments operate. We also analysed
the internal reporting of the Group to assess how the CGUs are monitored
and reported.
•Evaluating the competence, capabilities, objectivity and expertise of
Management's external valuation expert and the appropriateness of the
expert's work as audit evidence for the relevant assertions.
•Challenging Management’s assumptions and estimates used to determine
the recoverable value of its indefinite life intangible assets, including those
relating to forecasted revenue, cost, capital expenditure and discount rates,
by adjusting for future events and corroborating the key market related
assumptions to external data (including the consideration of the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic).
Procedures included:
oEvaluating the logic of the value-in-use calculations supporting
Management’s annual impairment test and testing the mathematical
accuracy of these calculations;
oEvaluating Management’s process regarding the preparation and
review of forecasts;
oComparing forecasts to Board approved forecasts;
oEvaluating the historical accuracy of the Group’s forecasting to actual
historical performance;
oChallenging and evaluating the forecast growth assumptions;
oEvaluating the inputs to the calculation of the discount rates applied;
oEngaging our own internal valuation experts to evaluate the logic of
the value-in-use calculation and the inputs to the calculation of the
discount rates applied;
oEvaluating the forecasts, inputs and any underlying assumptions with
a view to identifying Management bias;
oEvaluating Management’s sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible
changes in key assumptions; and
oPerforming our own sensitivity analyses for reasonably possible
changes in key assumptions, the two main assumptions being: the
discount rate and forecast growth assumptions.
•Evaluating the related disclosures about indefinite life intangible assets
which are included in Note 22 in the Group’s consolidated financial
statements.

Valuation of Finance Receivables
As disclosed in Note 14 of the Group’s consolidated
financial statements, the Group has finance
receivable assets of $330.2m. Finance receivable
assets were significant to our audit due to the size
of the assets and the subjectivity, complexity and
uncertainty inherent in the recognition of expected
credit losses and the amount of those expected
credit losses.
Management has prepared expected credit losses
models to complete its assessment of expected
credit losses for the Group’s finance receivables as
at 31 March 2021 (including a COVID-19 related
overlay of $1.4m).
This assessment involves complex and subjective
estimation and judgement by Management on
credit risk and the future cash flows of the finance
receivables.
Our audit procedures among others included:
•Understanding the Group’s internal controls relevant to the accounting
estimates used to determine the recoverable value of the Group’s finance
receivables.
•Evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over
finance receivable origination, ongoing administration and expected credit
losses model data and calculations.
•Evaluating and challenging the logic, key assumptions, and calculation of
Management’s expected credit losses provision for impairment for each
finance receivable, examining those finance receivables and forming our
own judgements as to whether the expected credit losses provision for
impairment recognised by Management is appropriate (including the
consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic).
Procedures included:
oAgreeing a representative sample of finance receivables to the signed
loan agreement, client acceptance documents, mortgage documents,
and registered valuations performed on acceptance;
oInspecting security documentation to ensure that the and its
subsidiaries holds a valid charge on security;
oEvaluating the logic of the discounted cash flow calculations
supporting Management’s expected credit losses provision for
impairment and testing the mathematical accuracy of these
calculations;
oEvaluating the key assumptions and inputs into these discounted
cash flow calculations (including the consideration of the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on key assumptions); and
oInspecting the borrowers' payment history for indicators of difficulties
in the borrowers' ability to meet the loan obligations (including the
consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on key
assumptions).
•Evaluating the selection of estimation methods, inputs and any underlying
assumptions with a view to identifying Management bias.
•For individually assessed finance receivables, examining those finance
receivables and forming our own judgements as to whether the expected
credit losses provision recognised by Management was appropriate
(including the consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on
the expected credit losses provision).
•For the collectively assessed finance receivables, evaluating and
challenging the logic of Management’s expected credit losses models and
the key assumptions used with our own experience (including the
consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on key
assumptions). Also, testing key inputs used in the expected credit losses
models and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations within the
models.
•Evaluating the changes made to the provisioning model to capture the
effect of the changing economic environment at 31 March 2021 compared
to the economic environment at the date when the historical data used to
determine the expected credit losses was collected (described in Note 4 to
the Group’s consolidated financial statements).
•Evaluating the related disclosures (including the accounting policies and
accounting estimates) about finance receivable assets, and the risks
attached to them, which are included in Note 5 and 14 in the Group’s
consolidated financial statements.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation and completeness of Insurance Contract
Liabilities
As disclosed in Note 35 of the Group’s consolidated
financial statements the Group has insurance
contract liabilities of $53.1m. The Group’s
insurance contract liabilities were significant to our
audit due to the size of the liabilities and the
subjectivity, complexity and uncertainty inherent in
estimating the impact of claims events that have
occurred but for which the eventual outcome
remains uncertain.
Management has engaged an external actuarial
expert to estimate the Group’s insurance contract
liabilities as at 31 March 2021.
Our audit procedures among others included:
•Understanding and evaluating the Group’s internal controls relevant to the
accounting estimates used to determine the valuation of the Group’s
insurance policyholder liabilities.
•Evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over
insurance contract origination, ongoing administration, claims
management and reporting and the integrity of the related data.
•Evaluating the competence, capabilities, objectivity and expertise of
Management's external actuarial expert and the appropriateness of the
expert's work as audit evidence for the relevant assertions.
•Agreeing the data provided to Management's external actuarial expert to
the Group’s records.
•Engaging our own actuarial expert to assist in understanding and
evaluating:
othe work and findings of the Group’s external actuarial expert
engaged by Management; and
othe Group’s actuarial methods and assumptions to assist us in
challenging the appropriateness of actuarial methods and
assumptions used by Management.
•Evaluating the selection of methods and assumptions with a view to
identify Management bias.
•Evaluating the related disclosures (including the accounting policies and
accounting estimates) about insurance contract liabilities, and the risks
attached to them, which are included in Note 35 in the Group’s
consolidated financial statements.
Other Information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2021 (but does not include the consolidated
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon).
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do n ot
express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the
Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for
assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the
Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the Directors and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
31
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements re present fairly the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during
our audit.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the
public interest benefits of such communication.
Matters Relating to the Electronic Presentation of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
This audit report relates to the consolidated financial statements of Turners Automotive Group Limited and its

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LIMITED
Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Turners Automotive Group Limited, ('the Company') is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. Turners Automotive Group Limited is
registered under the Companies Act 1993.
Turners Automotive Group Limited is a FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The consolidated financial statements of Turners Automotive Group Limited and its subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) have been prepared in
accordance with the Companies Act 1993 and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The Group is a for profit entity.
The Group's principal activities are:
• automotive retail (second hand vehicle retailer)
• finance and insurance (loans and insurance products); and
• credit management (collection services).
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 24 June 2021.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand ('NZ GAAP').
They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ('NZ IFRS') and other applicable Financial
Reporting Standards, as appropriate for profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS').
2.2 Basis of measurement
The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations for certain classes of assets and
liabilities to fair value and life insurance contract liabilities and related assets to net present value as described in the accounting policies
below.
2.3 Functional and Presentation Currency and Rounding
These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars ($) which is the Company's functional currency. All values are rounded to
the nearest thousand ($000), except when otherwise indicated.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been
applied consistently by Group entities.
3.1 Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations
Except for the early adoption of COVID-19 Rent Concessions (Amendment to NZ IFRS 16), no new standards and amendments and
interpretations to existing standards came into effect during the current accounting period beginning on 1 April 2020 that materially impacted
the Group’s financial statements and require retrospective adjustment.
3.2 New standards and amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective for the current accounting
period beginning on 1 April 2020
The following relevant standards and interpretations have been issued at the reporting date but are not yet effective.
NZ IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
NZ IFRS 17, ‘Insurance Contracts’, will replace NZ IFRS 4, ‘Insurance Contracts’. Under the NZ IFRS 17, insurance contract liabilities will be
calculated at the present value of future insurance cash flows with a provision for risk. The discount rate applied will reflect current interest
rates. If the present value of future cash flows would produce a gain at the time an insurance contract is issued, the model would also require
a "contractual service margin" to offset the day 1 gain. The contractual service margin would be amortised over the life of the insurance
contract. There would also be a new income statement presentation for insurance contracts, including a revised definition of revenue and
additional disclosure requirements. NZ IFRS 17 will also have accommodations for certain specific types of insurance contracts. Short-duration
insurance contracts will be permitted to use a simplified unearned premium liability model until a claim is incurred. For some contracts, in
which the cash flows are linked to underlying items, the liability value will reflect that linkage.
The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
The Group is yet to assess the impact of NZ IFRS 17. The Group intends to adopt NZ IFRS 17 no later than the financial year beginning 1
April 2023.
3.3 Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in consolidated financial statements
from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in
preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
3.4 Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency
at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gains or losses on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the
functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign
currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency
at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on
historical costs are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are
recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to New
Zealand Dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to New Zealand
Dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve
(translation reserve) in equity.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable
future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign
operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity.
3.5 Revenue and expense recognition
The principal sources of revenue are sales of goods, sales of service, interest income, fees, commissions, and insurance premium income.
3.5.1 Revenue from contracts with customers
Sales of goods
Sales of goods comprise sales of motor vehicle and commercial goods owned by the Group. Sales of goods are recognised when the customer
gains control of the goods. This normally occurs on full payment or approval of financing.
Sales‑related warranties associated with goods cannot be purchased separately and they serve as an assurance that the products sold comply
with agreed‑upon specifications and cover the standard period established by legislation. There is no material amount of variable consideration
under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant financing component.
Sales of service
Auction commission is recognised at a point in time in the accounting period in which the service is rendered. Payment for services is normally
deducted from the proceeds from the sale. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There is no
material amount of variable consideration under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant financing component.
Other sales revenue comprises services rendered preparing the asset for sale and commission earned on the sale of third party products.
Services rendered while preparing the asset for sale are recognised over time in which the service is rendered, and a contract asset is
recognised for amounts relating to services rendered not yet invoiced. Payment for services rendered are either deducted from the proceeds
from the sale or raised as a trade receivable. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There are no
rebates or volume discounts. Commissions earned on the sale of third party products is recognised at a point in time when the sale is made.
Payment is usually received when the sale is made.
Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There
are no rebates or volume discounts.
Collection income, which is largely fees and commission earned for collecting debt on behalf of third parties and the sale of customised terms
of trade documents, is recognised at a point in time when the service is rendered. Payment is either deducted from the monies collected or
raised as trade receivable. Proceeds received are recognised as a contract liability and therefore a contract liability is recognised over the
period in which the services are performed representing the Group’s right to consideration for the services performed to date. If the
consideration promised includes a variable amount for rebates, refunds or credit, then the Group estimates the amount of variable
consideration, to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur,
and recognises a contract liability. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. Costs to obtain contracts
such as commissions are recognised as contract assets and incurred when the related revenue for the contract is released to profit or loss.
Voucher income
Voucher income is the proceeds from the sale of a voucher that on presentation entitles the holder to either load a debt for collection or
register of a security on the Personal Property Securities Register (‘PPSR’). Voucher income is recognised, at a point in time, when the
voucher is redeemed and the debtor’s information is loaded into the collection system or a security is registered on the PPSR. Payment is
normally received when the voucher is sold, and proceeds received from voucher sales are initially recognised as a contract liability. For
those vouchers that are unredeemed, voucher income is recognised after a period of time based on historical non-redemption patterns.
Estimates are readjusted as necessary based on movements in the actual non-redemption patterns. Other than those provided by
legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There is no material amount of variable consideration under these contracts nor is there
the existence of a significant financing component.
Costs to obtain contracts such as commissions are recognised as contract assets and
incurred when the related revenue for the contract is released to profit or loss.

3.5.2 Financial instruments
Interest income and expense
Interest income and expense is recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method calculates the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and allocates the interest income or interest
expense over the relevant period. The calculation includes all fees paid or received and directly related transaction costs that are an integral
part of the effective interest rate. The interest income or expense is allocated over the life of the instrument and is measured for inclusion in
profit and loss by applying the effective interest rate to the instruments amortised cost.
Lending and funding - fees and commissions
Lending fee income (such as booking and establishment fees) that is integral to the effective yield of a loan held at amortised cost is capitalised
as part of the amortised cost and deferred over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Lending fees not directly related to the
origination of a loan (account maintenance fee) are recognised over the period of service.
Incremental and directly attributable costs (such as commissions) associated with the origination of a financial asset (such as loans) and
financial liabilities (such as borrowings) are capitalised as part of the amortised cost and deferred over the life of the financial instrument using
the effective interest method.
3.5.3 Insurance contracts
Premium income and acquisition costs
Recurring premiums on life insurance contracts are recognised as revenue when payable by the policyholder. Where policies provide for the
payment of amounts of premiums on specific due dates, such premiums are recognised as revenue when due. Unpaid premiums are only
recognised as revenue during the days of grace and are not recognised where policies are deemed to have lapsed at reporting date.
General insurance premiums comprise the total premiums payable for the whole period of cover provided by contracts entered into during the
reporting period and are recognised on the date on which the policy commences. Premiums include any adjustments arising in the reporting
period for premium receivables written in respect of business written in prior accounting periods. Premiums collected by intermediaries, but
not yet received, are assessed based on known sales and are included in written premium.
Unearned premiums are those proportion of premiums written in a year that relate to periods of risk after the reporting date. Unearned
premiums are calculated on a daily pro rata basis. The proportion attributable to subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned
premiums.
Under life investment contracts deposits are received from policyholders which are then invested on behalf of the policyholders and recognised
as Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. No premium income is recognised as revenue. Fees deducted from members' accounts
are accounted for as fee income.
Those direct and indirect costs incurred during the financial period arising from the acquiring or renewing of insurance contracts are deferred
to the extent that these costs are recoverable out of future premiums from insurance contracts. All other acquisitions costs are recognised as
an expense when incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the deferred acquisitions cost asset (DAC) for life insurance contracts is amortised over the expected life of
the contracts. DAC for general insurance contracts is amortised over the period in which the revenues are earned.
An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable
amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. DACs are also considered in the liability adequacy
test for each reporting period.
DACs are derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of.
Claims expense
Claims expenses represent claim payments adjusted for the movement in the outstanding claims liability.
General insurance claims expenses are recognised when claims are notified with the exception of claims incurred but not reported for which
a provision is estimated. Life insurance contract claims are recognised when a liability has been established. Claims under life investment
contracts represent withdrawals of investment deposits and are recognised as a reduction in the life investment contract liabilities.
3.5.4 Government grants
Government grants are not recognised as income until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching
to them and that the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in
which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
3.5.5 Other
Other income
Dividend income is recorded in the profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividend is established.
Other expense recognition
All other expenses are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
3.6 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or
issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added
to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or
loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or
sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention
in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification
of the financial assets.
Classification of financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:
• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows;
and
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the
financial assets; and
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Despite the foregoing, the Group may make the following irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition of a financial asset:
• the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income if
certain criteria are met; and
• the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing
so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.
(i) Amortised cost and effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the
relevant period.
For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit‑impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit‑impaired on initial
recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or
received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit
losses, through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the financial
asset on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit‑impaired financial assets, a credit‑adjusted effective interest rate is calculated
by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including expected credit losses, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial
recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal
repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity
amount, adjusted for any expected credit losses. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset
before adjusting for any expected credit losses.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI.
For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit‑impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective
interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit‑impaired (see
below).
For financial assets that have subsequently become credit‑impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to
the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit‑impaired financial instrument improves
so that the financial asset is no longer credit‑impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying
amount of the financial asset.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, finance receivables, reverse annuity
mortgages and other receivables.
(ii) Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. Specifically:
• Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Group designates an equity investment that is neither held for
trading nor a contingent consideration arising from a business combination as at FVTOCI on initial recognition.
• Financial assets that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria are classified as at FVTPL. In addition, financial
assets that meet either the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LIMITED
Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (so called ‘accounting mismatch’) that would
arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Group has not designated
any financial assets as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in
profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship (see hedge accounting policy). Fair value is determined in
the manner described in note 5.5.
Financial assets measured at FVTPL include equity securities, unitised funds, fixed interest securities and term deposits.
(iii) Finance assets at FVTOCI
Equity securities which are not held for trading, and which the Group has irrevocably elected at initial recognition to recognise in this category.
These are strategic investments and the Group considers this classification to be more relevant.
On disposal of these equity securities, any related balance within the FVTOCI reserve is reclassified to retained earnings.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and contract assets.
The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective
financial instrument.
The Group recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables and contract assets. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are
estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors,
general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date,
including time value of money where appropriate.
For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures
the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12‑month ECL.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
instrument. In contrast, 12‑month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial
instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Homogeneous loans are assessed on a collective basis (collective
impairment provision) and non-homogeneous loans are assessed individually (specific impairment provision).
(i) Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk
of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the date
of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and
supportable, including historical experience and forward‑looking information that is available without undue cost or effort such as:
• actual or expected changes in economic indicators (i.e. change in employment rates); and
• for non-homogeneous loans significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the loan or changes in the operating results
of the borrower.
The nature of the Group’s finance receivables (second tier retail and commercial lending) means there is little or no updated credit risk
information that is routinely obtained and monitored on an individual instrument until a customer breaches the contractual terms.
Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly
since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable
information that demonstrates otherwise.
The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and
revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes
past due.
(ii) Definition of default
The Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and
supportable information to demonstrate that another default criteria is more appropriate.
(iii) Credit‑impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit‑impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial
asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit‑impaired includes observable data about the following events:
a) significant financial difficulty of the borrower;
b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event (see (ii) above); and
c) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
(iv) Write‑off policy
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the borrower is in severe financial difficulty and there is no
realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the borrower has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial
assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where
appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.

v) Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there
is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted
by forward‑looking information as described above.
As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date. No further
advances are allowed against financial assets in default.
For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in
accordance with the contract and all the cash flows, after collection/realisation costs, that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the
original effective interest rate.
If the Group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period,
but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Group measures the loss allowance at
an amount equal to 12‑month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used.
The Group recognises an impairment gains or losses in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their
carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest
in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the
proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. However, financial
liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies
are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination,
(ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
• it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual
pattern of short‑term profit‑taking; or
• it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination may be
designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
• the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information
about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract to be
designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss
to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship (see Hedge accounting policy).
However, for financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of
changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. The
remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognised in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s
credit risk that are recognised in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss; instead, they are transferred
to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability.
Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 5.5.
Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL include contingent consideration.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held‑for‑trading, or (iii) designated as
at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LIMITED
Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid
or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected
life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit
or loss.
When the Group exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange
is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Group
accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the
recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the
new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 percent different
from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not substantial, the
difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification
should be recognised in profit or loss as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign
exchange forward contracts, and interest rate swaps.
Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair
value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and
effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a
financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the Group has both legal right and intention to offset.
A derivative is presented as a non‑current asset or a non‑current liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months
and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities.
Hedge accounting
The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency and interest rate risk in cash flow hedges.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along
with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge
and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged
item attributable to the hedged risk, which is when the hedging relationships meet all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements:
• there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
• the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and
• the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually
hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
If a hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk management objective
for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the Group adjusts the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship (i.e. rebalances the
hedge) so that it meets the qualifying criteria again.
Cash flow hedges
Hedge effectiveness is determined using the critical terms method (‘CTM’). Under the CTM, the critical terms of the derivative instruments
must match or be closely aligned with the critical terms of the hedged item. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured by using the hypothetical
derivative method. This method compares the hedging instrument to a hypothetical derivative (in which the fair value is determined by the
credit-risk free benchmark rate) and the ineffective portion is measured by the extent to which the cumulative change in fair value of the
hedging instrument exceeds the change in fair value of the hypothetical derivative (in absolute terms).
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as
cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to
the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is
recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when
the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results
in the recognition of a non‑financial asset or a non‑financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in equity are removed from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non‑financial asset or
non‑financial liability. This transfer does not affect other comprehensive income. Furthermore, if the Group expects that some or all of the loss
accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve will not be recovered in the future, that amount is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria (after
rebalancing, if applicable). This includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The
discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in cash flow

hedge reserve at that time remains in equity and is reclassified to profit or loss when the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in cash flow hedge reserve is reclassified immediately to profit or
loss.
3.7 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
A lease is a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group leases various offices, warehouses, retail stores and equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 3 to 8
years but may have extension options as described below. 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.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the
Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and 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 consistent with the estimated consumption of
the economic benefits embodied in the underlying asset.
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 (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate;
• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
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. Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the
present value of the remaining lease payments (the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Lease liabilities are remeasured to
reflect changes to lease terms, changes to lease payments and any lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
• any initial direct costs; and
• restoration costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, lease assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any remeasurement of the associated lease liability), less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. Right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment whenever events or
circumstances arise that indicate the asset may be impaired. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount
if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount
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.
The Group has applied the practical expedient for all COVID-19 rent concessions received during the reporting period
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the Group. These terms are used to
maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only
by the Group and not by the respective lessor.
A deferred tax asset is raised for the tax impact of the changes in recognised lease related assets and liabilities.
In the Statement of cash flows, the Group has presented:
• Short-term lease payments, payments for leases of low-value assets and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of
the lease liability as part of operating activities;
• Cash paid for the interest portion of a lease liability as either operating activities or financing activities, as permitted by NZ IAS 7 Statement
of Cash Flows (the Group has opted to include interest paid as part of operating activities, consistent with its presentation of interest paid
on financial liabilities); and
• Cash payments for the principal portion for a lease liability, as part of financing activities.
3.8 Insurance contracts
Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk and are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of
NZ IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The Group issues the following insurance contracts:
• Long-term insurance contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms, these contracts insure events associated with human life (for example,
death) over a long duration;
• Temporary life insurance contracts covering death disablement, disability and redundancy risks; and
• Short term motor vehicle contracts covering comprehensive, third party and mechanical breakdown risks.

The Group has determined that all assets of the Group’s subsidiary, DPL Insurance Limited, are assets backing policy liabilities and are
managed and reported in accordance with a mandate approved by the DPL Insurance Limited’s Board.
The liability for life insurance contracts is determined in accordance with Appendix C of NZ IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and Professional
Standard No 20 of the New Zealand Society of Actuaries. In terms of these standards, the liability is determined using the methodology
referred to as Margin on Service (MoS). Under MoS the excess premium received over claims and expenses, 'the profit margin', is recognised
over the life of the contract in a manner that reflects the pattern of risk accepted from the policyholder 'the service'. Longer-term lines of
business (annuities, funeral plan) are valued using the projection method, and shorter-term life and longer-term life contracts written on yearly
renewable premiums, are valued using the accumulation method, as provided for in NZ IFRS 4.
General insurance contract liabilities include claims provision and the provision for unearned premium. The outstanding claims provision is
based on the estimated ultimate cost of all claims incurred but not settled at the reporting date, whether reported or not, together with related
claims handling cost and a reduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. Delays can be experienced in the notification
and settlement of claims, therefore the ultimate cost of these cannot be known at reporting date and are estimated based on past experience.
The liability is not discounted for the time value of money and is derecognised when the obligation to pay the claim expires, is discharged or
is cancelled.
The provision for unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums received or receivable that relates to risks that have not yet expired
at the reporting date. The provision is recognised when contracts are entered into and premiums are charged, and is recognised as premium
income over the term of the contract in accordance with the pattern of insurance service provided under the contract.
Liability adequacy testing is performed in terms of NZ IFRS 4 in order to test the adequacy of all insurance liabilities recorded in the statement
of financial position, net of deferred acquisition costs. Liability adequacy testing is performed at a portfolio level of contracts that are subject
to broadly similar risks and are managed together as a single portfolio.
3.9 Life investment contracts
Life investment contracts are those contracts with minimal insurance risk and are accounted for in accordance with NZ IFRS 15 'Revenue
from Contracts with Customers' (refer note 3.5.1) and NZ IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' (refer note 3.5.2). The life investment contacts are
unit-linked and fair value of a unit linked contract is determined using the current unit values that reflect the fair value of the financial assets
backing the contract, multiplied by the number of units attributable to the contract holder.
3.10 Inventories
Inventories comprise primarily motor vehicles held for sale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost comprises purchase
price, shipping cost, compliance cost and other sundry related costs. Estimated selling prices are based upon recent observed vehicle sales
prices for comparable vehicles. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
3.11 Investment property
Investment property is held for capital appreciation and comprises land that was transferred from finance receivables through the exercise of
the Group’s security interest in a finance receivable that was in default.
Investment property is initially recognised at fair value on date of transfer or purchase and subsequently carried at fair value. The fair value of
investment properties is determined by a qualified independent external valuer (refer note 21).
Any gains or losses arising from a change in fair value of the investment property is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure is
charged to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the period in
which they are incurred.
3.12 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated on all other property, plant and equipment on a diminishing value or straight-line
basis to allocate the costs, net of any residual amounts, over their useful lives.
The rates for the following asset classes are:
Diminishing value Straight line
Buildings - 2%
Leasehold improvements, furniture and
fittings, office equipment
7.5 - 60.0%
3 - 15 years
Computer equipment 31.2 - 48.0% 3 - 5 years
Motor vehicles and equipment 26.0 - 31.2% 3 - 7 years
Signs and flags - 3 - 12 years
3.13 Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprise goodwill, acquired separable corporate brands, acquired customer relationships and computer software. Goodwill
and corporate brands are indefinite life intangibles subject to annual impairment testing.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or
groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, identified according
to operating segment.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
Corporate brands and customer relationships acquired as part of a business combination are capitalised separately from goodwill as intangible
assets if their value can be measured reliably on initial recognition and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are
attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.
Corporate relationship assets are amortised on the straight line basis over the expected life (2 – 10 years) of the relationship
and are
recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Computer software is recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Direct costs associated with the purchase and installation of software licences and the development of software for internal use are capitalised
where project success is probable and the capitalisation criteria is met. Cost associated with planning and evaluating computer software and
maintaining a system after implementation are expensed. Computer software costs are amortised on a diminishing value basis (rate of 50%)
or on a straight-line basis (one to five years).
3.14 Taxation
Income tax for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in the profit
or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at balance date
after taking advantage of all allowable deductions under current taxation legislation and any adjustment to tax liabilities in respect of previous
years.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of
realisation or settlement of the amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted as at balance date.
Deferred taxation assets arising from temporary differences or income tax losses, are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that a
future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred taxation assets are reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that the related tax asset will be realised. Any reduction is recognised in profit or loss.
3.15 Impairment of non-financial assets
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment
annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.
Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. The Group conducts an annual internal review of asset values, which is used as a source of information to assess for any
indicators of impairment. External factors, such as changes in expected future processes, technology and economic conditions, are also
monitored for indicators of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is determined by estimating future cash flows
from the use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting these to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market rates and the risks specific to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Impairment losses directly reduce the carrying amount of assets and are
recognised in profit or loss.
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
3.16 Managed funds
DPL Insurance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, has saving plans, which are not open to new members, with assets managed by a third
party investment manager. The assets and liabilities of these funds are included in the financial statements.
3.17 Employee benefits
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages, salaries and annual leave are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured
at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured at the present value of expected future
payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method.
Consideration is given to future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments
are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Profit sharing and bonus plans
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit
attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises an accrual where contractually obliged or where
there is a practice that has created a constructive obligation.
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LIMITED
Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
Share based payments
The cost of options issued to employees under the Group’s share option plan is measured by reference to fair value of the options at the date
on which they are granted. Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair
value, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that
will ultimately vest. Market conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value.
The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised over the vesting period. If the service condition is not met during the vesting period, the
expense is revised to reflect the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Where awards include market
and non-vesting conditions, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting conditions is satisfied,
provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (refer note 9).
When options are exercised or cancelled, the option reserve relating to the options exercised or cancelled is reclassified to share capital.
Superannuation plans
The Group pays contributions to superannuation plans, such as Kiwisaver. The Group has no further payment obligations once the
contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions
are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
3.18 Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the direct approach modified by netting certain cash flows in order to provide more
meaningful disclosure to better reflect the activities of the Group's customers or the party providing funding to the Group than those of the
Group. These include reverse annuity mortgages, finance receivables and borrowings.
3.19 Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and represented for consistency with current year.
4. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS, the Board and management are required to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
COVID-19
It is not possible to estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic’s short and long-term effects. As at the date of the signing of these
consolidated financial statements, all reasonably known and available information with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been taken
into consideration and all reasonably determinable adjustments have been made in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
While actual results achieved in the 31 March 2021 financial statements have been better than expected in the COVID-19 environment,
residual market uncertainty regarding the economic impact of the pandemic remains. Consequently, Management have concluded that
retaining COVID-19 overlay provisions relating to the impairment provisions for inventory and loans receivables is appropriate.
The principal areas of judgement in preparing these financial statements are set out below.
Inventories - impairment provision
Inventories comprise primarily motor vehicles held for sale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost comprises the
purchase price, shipping cost, compliance cost and other sundry related costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Estimated selling prices are
based upon recent observed vehicle sales prices for comparable vehicles.
The COVID-19 overlay provision of $0.5m included in the inventories impairment provision as at 31 March 2020 has been retained in the
provision as at 31 March 2021.
Provision for impairment on loan receivables
Significant increase in credit risk
As explained in note 3.6, ECL are measured as an allowance equal to 12 month ECL for performing assets, or lifetime ECL for doubtful or in
default assets. An asset moves to doubtful when its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Group presumes a
significant increase in credit risk subsequent to initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days overdue. In assessing
whether the credit risk of an asset has significantly increased the Group takes into account qualitative and quantitative reasonable and
supportable forward looking information.
Calculation of loss allowance
When measuring ECL the Group has used reasonable and supportable forward looking information, which is based on estimates for the future
movement of different economic drivers (i.e. unemployment rates and government stimulus) and how these drivers will affect each other.
Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those
that the Group would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LIMITED
Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given
time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions.
The COVID-19 overlay provision of $1.0m included in the finance receivables expected credit loss provision as at 31 March 2020 has been
increased to $1.4m as at 31 March 2021.
Impairment of goodwill
The carrying value of goodwill is assessed at least annually to ensure that it is not impaired. Performing this assessment generally requires
management to estimate future cash flows to be generated by the cash-generating unit, which entails making judgements, including the
expected rate of growth of revenues, margins expected to be achieved and the appropriate discount rate to apply when valuing future cash
flows (refer note 22). A sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amounts of the CGU’s is disclosed in note 22.
When estimating future cash flows, Management considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s performance and
judgements, including the forecasting of the year-on-year movements in the operating assets of individual CGUs such as:
• for the Finance and Auto Retail CGUs, the movement in their portfolios of finance receivables and related movement in debt financing;
• for the Auto Retail CGU, the movement in inventory levels, trade payables and related movement in trade financing; and
• for the DPL Insurance CGU, the movement in deferred insurance contract premiums and acquisition costs, and solvency capital
requirements.
Liabilities arising from claims made under insurance contracts
Liabilities arising from claims made under insurance contracts are estimated based on the terms of cover provided under an insurance contract.
The estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts is based on a number of actuarial techniques that
analyse experience, trends and other relevant factors. The estimate process involves using Group specific data, relevant industry data and
general economic data, including but not limited to, claim frequencies, average claim sizes and historical trends (refer note 35).
Impairment of corporate brands
The carrying values of brands are assessed at least annually to ensure that it is not impaired. Performing this assessment generally requires
management to estimate future cash flows to be generated by the related investment or a cash-generating unit, which entails making
judgements, including the expected rate of growth of revenues, margins expected to be achieved and the appropriate discount rate to apply
when valuing future cash flows (refer note 22).
Unredeemed voucher liabilities
The Group's estimate of the unredeemed voucher liability is based on historic redemption patterns. Changes in the redemption pattern of
unredeemed vouchers could affect the reported value of this liability. At year end, the Group readjusted the unredeemed prepaid collection
voucher liability write off methodology based on movements in the actual redemption patterns to reflect the continued decline in the redemption
of historically issued prepaid collection vouchers. The change in accounting estimate resulted in a $0.1m (2020: $0.1m) decrease in the
unredeemed voucher liability (note 24).
Determining lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension
option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the
lease is reasonably certain to be exercised. This assessment is reviewed if a significant event of significant change in circumstances occurs
which affects this assessment and that is within the Group’s control. All extension options have been assumed for the calculation of the
Groups’ lease liabilities.
Valuation of investment properties
The fair value of the investment property has been determined by an independent qualified valuer. Note 21 sets out the valuation
methodology, key assumptions and sensitivity analysis. The fair value of the investment property is subjective and changes to the
assumptions can have a significant impact on profit and the fair value.
The derecognition of finance receivables
The Group follows the guidance in NZ IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', in transactions where substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of a financial asset are neither retained nor transferred. The Group derecognises the transferred asset if control over that asset is
relinquished. The rights and obligations retained in the transfer, such as servicing assets and liabilities, are recognised separately as assets
and liabilities, as appropriate. If control over the asset is retained, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing
involvement, which is determined by the extent to which it remains exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset. This
determination of whether risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset are neither retained nor transferred requires significant
judgement (refer note 3.6). Prior to derecognition, the Group assesses whether the finance receivables qualify for derecognition using the
criteria noted above.
Fair value measurement
The fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined using discounted cash flow models. To the extent
practical, models use observable data however normal volatilities require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about
these factors could affect the reported fair values of financial instruments (refer note 11).
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is regarded
as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory
agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price
used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1.
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LIMITED
Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by
using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as
possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in
level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. The fair value of level 3
instruments is determined by using valuation techniques based on a range of unobservable inputs. The Group establishes fair value by
using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially
the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances. Investments in
equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured are
recognised and subsequently carried at cost.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments in each level are detailed in notes 5.5 and 21.
5. RISK MANAGEMENT
The financial condition and operating results of the Group are affected by a number of key financial and non-financial risks. Financial risks
include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The non-financial risks include insurance risk, which is covered in note 35, and fair value risk
relating to the Group’s Investment property (refer note 21).
5.1 Financial instrument by category
5.2 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises
principally from the Group's cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (excluding equities held in unitised
funds), trade receivables, finance receivables, reverse annuity mortgages, and other receivables.
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (excluding equities in unitised funds) are placed
with registered banks.
Management assesses the credit quality of trade customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Individual risk limits are set based on these assessments. The use of credit limits by trade customers is regularly monitored by management.
Sales to public customers are settled in cash, bank cheques or using major credit cards, mitigating the credit risk.
To manage credit on finance receivables the Group performs credit evaluations on all customers requiring advances. The approval process
considers a number of factors including: borrower’s past performance, ability to repay, amount of money to be borrowed against the security
and the creditworthiness of the guarantor/co-borrower involved.
The Group operates a lending policy with various levels of authority depending on the size of the loan. A lending and credit committee operates
and overdue loans are assessed on a regular basis by this body.

Risk grades categorise loans according to the degree of risk of financial loss faced and focuses management on the attendant risks. The
current risk grading framework consists of four grades reflecting varying degrees of risk of default and the availability of collateral or other
credit risk mitigation. They are as follows:
• performing – the counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past due amounts greater than 30 days;
• doubtful – amount is > 30 days past due or there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition;
• in default - amount is > 90 days past due or evidence indicating the asset is credit impaired; and
• write-off – there is evidence indicating the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Group has no realistic prospect of recovery.
The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for
finance receivables are:
• mortgages over properties, with the maximum loan to value rate being 75%;
• mortgages over houses for reverse annuity mortgages, with a maximum loan to value ratio of 30% at inception (no new reverse annuity
mortgages have been advanced since 2009);
• charges over vehicle stock for dealer floorplans;
• chattel paper where the Group acts as a wholesale funder;
• charges over business assets such as equipment; and
• charges over motor vehicles.
For finance receivables secured by collateral, estimates of the value of collateral are assessed at the time of borrowing, and are not updated
unless the receivable is being assessed for specific impairment. The allowance for impairment includes the Group's estimate of the value of
collateral held.
For Life investment linked contracts the investments credit risk is appropriate for each particular product and the risk is borne by the policy
holder. There is no significant risk assumed by the Group.
5.3 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities as they fall due.
The Group endeavours to maintain sufficient funds to meet its commitments based on forecasted cash flow requirements. Due to the dynamic
nature of the underlying businesses, flexibility is maintained by having diverse funding sources and adequate committed credit facilities.
Management has internal control processes and contingency plans to actively manage the lending and borrowing portfolios to ensure the net
exposure to liquidity risk is minimised. The exposure is reviewed on an on-going basis from daily procedures to monthly reporting as part of
the Group's liquidity management process.
The liquidity risk for cash flows payable on the life investment contracts liabilities that are unit linked contracts is managed by holding a pool
of readily tradable investment assets (included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) and deposits on call. The liability and
supporting assets have been excluded from the maturity analysis below because there is no contractual or expected maturity date for the life
investment contracts and the readily tradable investment assets offset any liquidity risk. The liquidity risk on other insurance cash flows is
managed by holding designated percentages of insurance reserves in liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents.
The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities and net settled derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based
on the remaining period at reporting date to contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual and the expected
undiscounted cash flows. Contractual and expected amounts agree, except for borrowing where expected maturity is the facility maturity date.

5.4 Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices, will affect the Group's
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
5.4.1 Insurance business
For the life investment policies market risk is transferred to the policy holder. The Group earns fees on investment linked policies that are
based on the amount of assets invested and it may receive lower fees should markets fall. Asset allocation for investment linked policies is
decided by the Policy Holder.
In the other insurance business, market risk arises when there is a mismatch between the insurance policy liabilities and the assets backing
those liabilities. Refer to note 35K for insurance liabilities interest rate sensitivity. The insurance business has no significant currency and
equity risk.
5.4.2 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss to the Group arising from adverse changes in interest rates. The Group's financing activities are exposed
to interest rate risk in respect of its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Changes to interest rates can impact the Group's
financial results by affecting the interest spread earned on these assets and liabilities.
Interest rates are managed by assessing the demand for funds, new lending, expected debt repayments and maintaining a portfolio of financial
assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, with a sufficient spread between the Group's lending and borrowing activities.
Exposure to interest rates is monitored by the Board of Directors on a monthly basis.
The interest rates earned on finance receivables are fixed over the term of the contract. When approving interest rates for individual loan
advances, interest rate risk is measured in accordance with the approved lending policy. The Group uses interest rate swap contracts to
convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. No exchange of principal takes place. The notional principal amount of interest
rate swaps at 31 March 2021 was $89m (2020: $75m) and weighted average interest was 0.97% (2020: 1.73%). There was no hedge
ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss during the period (2020: $nil).
Turners Finance Limited borrows at fixed rates to fund finance receivables. The terms and the amounts of the finance payables are matched
to each corresponding finance receivable, for which the lending rates are also fixed at inception, thus eliminating the cash flow interest rate
risk on these financial instruments.
The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities to interest rate risk.

5.4.3 Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Australian Dollars (‘AUD’) and
Japanese Yen (‘JPY’). Currency risk arises from the future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investment in
foreign operations.
To ensure the net exposure to EC Credit Control (Aust) Pty Ltd, which has AUD as its functional currency, is kept to an acceptable level, the
Group has a comprehensive transfer pricing policy and converts the AUD unredeemed voucher liability (refer note 24) into a NZD liability by
selling the AUD liability to the New Zealand entity that will be providing the relevant services to settle the liability when the voucher is redeemed.
To limit its exposure to JPY, the Group hedges the anticipated cash flows (mainly purchased inventory) when the commitment is made. All
projected purchases qualify as ‘highly probable’ forecast transactions for hedge accounting purposes.
The table below summarises the Group’s financial exposure to currency risk.
The table below summaries the Group’s sensitivity to +/- 10% foreign exchange fluctuations.
5.4.4 Equity price risk
Equity price risk is the risk that the Group's profit or loss will fluctuate as a result of changes in share prices. The Group is exposed to equity
price risk through its investment in MTF Shares (refer note 11). A +1%/-1% movement in the MTF share price will increase/(decrease) profit
and equity by $29k/($29k) (2020: $32k/($32k)).
5.5 Assets and liabilities carried at fair value:
The fair value of assets and liabilities carried at fair value as well as the methods used to calculate fair value are summarised in the table
below.
Level 1 the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Fair value insurance
The financial assets in this category back life investment contract liabilities and are investments in managed funds. The fair value of the
investments in the managed funds are determined by reference to published exit prices, being the redemption price based on the market price
quoted by the fund manager, ANZ New Zealand Investments Limited (refer note 5.4.1).
Fair value assets - investment in equities
The fair value of the investment in equities has been estimated by reference to recent transactions with MTF shares (refer note 5.4.4).
Fair value liability - term deposits and fixed interest securities
Term deposits are recognised at fair value based on the interest rate set at inception of the term deposit (refer note 5.4.2).
Fair value - investment property
The fair value of the investment property was determined by an independent registered valuer using the comparable sales methodology (refer
note 21).
This is a level 3 fair value measurement and the key output used in determining the consideration is the probable sales price. A change in
sales price of +/- 5% would increase/(decrease) the total fair value and profit or loss by $0.3m/($0.3m).
These financial liabilities are exposed to interest rate risk as disclosed above.
Derivative financial instruments
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at balance date, with the resulting value discounted
to present value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows based on observable
yield curves.
Reconciliation of recurring level 3 fair value movements:
During the year there were no movements of fair value assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Trade receivables are a current asset, with terms of trade usually 30 days or less.
The carrying amounts of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, excluding investments in unitised funds, are denominated in
NZD.
All term deposits held in the insurance business may not be available for use by the wider Group (refer note 10). DPL Insurance's term
deposits at 31 March 2021 were $59.2m (2020: $54.6m). Investments in unitised funds, disclosed in Financial assets through the profit or loss,
underwrite the Life investment policies and are not available for use by the wider Group.
A summarised analysis of the sensitivity of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, excluding investments in unitised funds (as
market risk on unitised funds is transferred to the policy holder), to interest rate risk and currency risk can be found in note 5.4.
The maximum exposure to credit risk from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at reporting date, excluding investments in
unitised funds, is the carrying value. The financial assets in this category, excluding equity investments, are invested in term deposits with
banks. For Life investment linked contracts (investment in unitised funds) the investments credit risk is borne by the policy holder, there is no
significant credit risk assumed by the Group.

If a trade receivable falls overdue and the Group is unable to enter into an arrangement to recover the amount owed then the receivable is
classified as impaired.
Due to the short-term nature of trade receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The maximum exposure to
credit risk from trade receivables at the reporting date is the carrying amount of trade receivables. Credit risk is concentrated predominantly in
New Zealand within the motor trade sector and private household sector, there is no concentration of credit risk on any individual customer.
A summarised analysis of the sensitivity of financial assets included in trade receivables to currency risk can be found in note 5.4.
The Group recognises lifetime expected credit loss for trade receivables. The expected credit loss rate is 4.5% (2020: 4.4%). Amounts
charged to the impairment provision are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.

A summarised analysis of the sensitivity of finance receivables to interest rate risk can be found in note 5.4.2.
The Group's finance receivables are all denominated in NZD.
The following table details the risk profile of the Group's provision matrix for finance receivables collectively assessed for impairment. As the
Group's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for
loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group's different customer base.
If the ECL rates on performing financial receivables increased/(decreased) by 1% as at 31 March 2021, the loss allowance on receivables
would be $3.1m higher/($2.2m lower) (2020: $2.7m higher/($2.3m lower)).
If the ECL rates on doubtful or in default financial receivables increased/(decreased) by 1% as at 31 March 2021, the loss allowance on
receivables would be $0.2m higher/(lower) (2020: $0.3m higher/(lower)).

Expected credit losses on contract assets and other receivables is 0%.
The carrying amounts of the financial assets included in other receivables are denominated in the following currencies:
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of finance receivables which is net of any provision for
impairment. The reported credit risk exposure does not take into account the fair value of any collateral, in event of the counterparties failing
to meet their contractual obligation.
The Group has a wholesale funding facility with the Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) under which it securitises finance receivables through The
Turners Marque Warehouse Trust 1 (the Trust). Under the facility, BNZ provide funding to the Trust secured by finance receivables sold to the
Trust from the finance segment. The facility is for a 416 day term that will be renewed annually. The facility is for $276m.
The Trust is a special purpose entity set up solely for the purpose of purchasing finance receivables from the finance segment with the BNZ
funding up to 92% of the purchase price with the balance funded by sub-ordinated notes from the Group. The New Zealand Guardian Trust
Company Limited has been appointed Trustee for the Trust and NZGT Security Trustee Limited as the security trustee. The Company is the
sole beneficiary.
The Group has the power over the Trust, exposure, and rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Trust and the ability to use its
power over the Trust to affect the amount of the Group's returns from the Trust. Consequently the Group controls the Trust and has
consolidated the Trust into the Group financial statements.
The Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the finance receivables sold and therefore the finance receivables do not
qualify for derecognition and remain on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position.
During the financial year $187.4m finance receivables were sold to the Trust (2020: $149.4m). As at 31 March 2021 the carrying value of
finance receivables in the Trust was $266.8m (2020: $210.2m).

Sales, price and operating cost assumptions where based on the Board's best estimate of the range of economic conditions the CGUs are likely
to experience during the forecast period. The forecasts for each CGU covering a period of a minimum of 5 years. Annual capital expenditure,
the expected cash costs in CGUs, was based on historical experience and planned expenditure.
The aggregate carrying amounts of brands and goodwill allocated to the cash generating units are outlined below. Goodwill primarily relates to
growth expectations, expected future profitability and the substantial skill and expertise of the work force of the cash generating unit.
Management have assessed that there is no foreseeable limit to the period of time over which the goodwill and brand is expected to generate
net cash inflows for the Group, and as such goodwill and brand have been assessed as having an indefinite useful life.
The recoverable amount of all CGUs has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by the Board covering at least a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the projected period are
extrapolated using the estimated long term growth rates stated below. The cash flows for the Auto retail (2020: free cash flows to equity),
Insurance and Collection services CGUs are free cash flows to the firm, while the Finance CGU is free cash flows to equity. For each of the
CGUs with goodwill and brand the key assumptions, long term growth rate and discount rate used in the value-in-use calculations are as follows:
The long term growth rate is the weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period and is based on the
current implied inflation rates and does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in
which the CGUs operate. The discount rates were established by taking into account the specific attributes and size of the CGUs.

A summarised analysis of the sensitivity of financial liabilities included in other payables to currency risk can be found in note 5.4.3.
In assessing the impairment of the goodwill and brand value in the CGUs, a sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in key
assumptions was performed. This included increasing and reducing the terminal growth rate by 0.20% and 0.30% respectively (2020: +/-
0.25%) and increasing and decreasing the discount rate as follows:
These reasonably possible changes in rates did not cause any impairment in the CGUs.
Due to the short-term nature of the financial liabilities in other payables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.

29. SHARE OPTIONS
The Group’s capital consists of share capital, share option reserve, translation reserve, cash flow reserve and retained earnings. The Board
seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security
afforded by a sound capital position. The allocation of capital between its specific business operations and activities is, to a large extent, driven
by optimisation of the return on the capital allocated. The process of allocating capital to specific operations and activities is undertaken
independently of those responsible for the operation. The Group’s strategies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed
regularly by the Board of Directors.
The Group's funding covenants include minimum equity ratios. There have been no breaches of covenants. In addition to the above, the life
insurance company is required to retain equity for solvency purposes, refer note 35G.
Ordinary shares are fully paid with no par value. All ordinary shares have equal voting rights and share equally in dividends and surplus on
winding up.
If a participant in the Group Share Option Plan leaves (by any means and for any reason) the employment of the Company or any applicable
subsidiary, the participant’s options which have reached their vesting date, together with any other options as may be nominated at the
discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company in extraordinary circumstances (such as the redundancy, permanent disablement or death
of a participant), may be exercised within a period of 60 days (following which they will lapse) and the participant's other Options will lapse
immediately.
The weighted average fair value of the options granted, using the Binomial Tree option pricing model, is $0.31 per option. The significant inputs
in the model were, the share price at grant date of $2.19, the exercise price of $2.00, volatility of 27.5%, an expected exercise date for all
tranches of, 80% at vesting date and 20% at expiration date and an annual risk free rate between 0.24% - 0.63%. Volatility is measured as the
standard deviation of changes in the Company's share price over a 12 month period. The share based payment for the current financial year is
$255,000 (2020: $nil).
In July 2020, the Board approved the grant of 2,300,000 options to Senior Executives of the Group at an exercise price of $2.00 under the
Group's Share Option Plan. The grant is split into four tranches of 575,000 options with the followingvesting dates; 1 June 2021, 1 June 2022, 1
June 2023 and 1 June 2024. Each tranche expires two year after the vesting date.

35. Insurance related disclosures
A. Actuarial policies and the methods
The actuarial report on insurance contract liabilities and prudential reserves for the current reporting period was prepared as at 31 March 2021
by Peter Davies, a Fellow of the New Zealand Society of Actuaries.
Life insurance contract liabilities
The value of life insurance contract liabilities has been determined in accordance with Professional Standard No. 20 of the New Zealand
Society of Actuaries. After making appropriate checks, the actuary was satisfied as to the accuracy of the data from which the amount of
policy liabilities has been determined.
The key assumptions used in determining policy liabilities are as follows:
a) Discount Rates
Discount rates used to determine the life insurance contract liabilities are based on an appropriate risk-free rate of return, taking account of
the term of the insurance contracts.
Tax was deducted at the rate of 28% on investment earnings net of investment expenses (2020: 28%). The net discount rates assumed were
as follows:
2021 2020
Whole of Life and Endowment Policies (including Funeral Plan)* Treasury risk-free rates Treasury risk-free rates
Quick Cover term life plan* Treasury risk-free rates Treasury risk-free rates
Term Insurance Policies Not applicable Not applicable
Caring Plan Funeral Benefit Policies Not applicable Not applicable
Annuity Policies Treasury risk-free rates Treasury risk-free rates
Consumer Credit and Key Person Loan Protection Not applicable Not applicable
* These rates are provided by Treasury as at 31 January, and are then adjusted to 31 March based on the movement in swap rates, as quoted
by the Reserve Bank, between January and March. Illustrative forward rates for the respective valuations are as follows:
Cash-flows in year 10: March 2020: 1.11% per annum net of tax
March 2021: 1.98% per annum net of tax
b) Inflation Rates
In determining the future expected rate of return, general inflation was assumed to continue into the future at 2.0% per annum (2020: 2.0%).
c) Mortality Rates
Rates of mortality were assumed as follows:
For underwritten whole of life, endowment and term insurance policies: NZ97 (2020: NZ97).
For guaranteed issue regular premium funeral plans: NZ97 (DPL plans), NZ04 (ex-Greenwich plans) multiplied by a factor to reflect higher
mortality at younger ages, and the impact of guaranteed issue anti-selection (DPL - no change from 2020).
QuickCover plans - NZ04 with additional loadings reflecting the impact of guaranteed issue anti-selection.
For annuities the assumed mortality table is 90% of the NZ12-14 population tables. For the Cook Islands Annuity Pension Plan the assumed
mortality table is the PA(90) table without adjustment (2020: no change).
d) Profit Carriers
The policies were divided into major product groups with profit carriers as follows:
Major Product Groups Carrier
Participating Whole of Life and Endowment Policies Premiums
Non Participating Whole of Life and Endowment Policies Premiums
Lump Sum Funeral Benefit Policies (Caring Plan) Not Applicable
Term Insurance Policies Premiums
Funeral Plan Policies (Regular premium guaranteed issue) Gross claims
Quick Cover term life plan Gross claims
Annuities Annuity payments
Consumer Credit / Lifestyle Not Applicable
Motor business Not Applicable
Accidental death & redundancy – Stop Gap Not Applicable
Accidental death regular & single premium Not Applicable
e) Investment and Maintenance Expenses
The maintenance expense and general growth and development expense allowances assumed for the main classes of business were as
follows:
Endowments $155 per policy per annum (2020: $152)

Funeral plans $9.38 per policy per annum (2020: $9.20)
Term life plans (for loss recognition) $9.38 per policy per annum (2020: $9.20)
Consumer credit plans (for loss recognition): $9.38 per policy per annum (2020: $9.20)
Annuity plans $155 per policy per annum (2020: $152)
Investment management expenses were assumed to be 1.0% (2020: 1.0%) of policy liabilities.
f)
Inflation and Automatic Indexation of Benefits
Maintenance expenses are assumed to increase 2.0% per annum (2020: 2.0%). Investment management expenses are assumed to remain
a constant percentage of funds under management.
g)
Taxation
The assumed future tax rates reflect the corporate tax rate applying in New Zealand with effect from 1 April 2011. The calculations have been
carried out on the basis of current life insurance income tax legislation.
h)
Rates of Discontinuance
Rates of discontinuance are assumed to be 5.0% for whole of life, endowment and term insurance business (2020: 5.0%), and nil for annuity
pension plan business (2020: nil).
For the DPL Funeral plan the rates of discontinuanc
e are based on company experience, beginning at 15% in year 1 and reducing ultimately
to 3% per annum (2020: 15% reducing to 8%).
For the Funeral plan (ex Greenwich) product the rat
es of discontinuance are based on the pricing assumption for this product, beginning at
20% in year 1, and reducing ultimately to 3% per annum (2020: 40% to 3%).
For Quick Cover the rates of discontinuance are based on the pricing assumption for this product, beginning at 15% in year 1, and reducing
ultimately to 10% per annum (2020: 20% reducing to 10%).
i)
Surrender Values
The Company's current basis of calculating surrender values is assumed to continue in the future.
j)
Rates of Future Supportable Participating Benefits
Rates of bonus supported by the participating fund are simple annual bonuses of $0.00 (2020: $0.00) per $1,000 of sum assured on
endowment policies.
k)
Impact of changes in assumptions
The impact of the change in the discount rate is a reduction in policy liabilities of $223,000 (2020: increase of $331,000).
The policy liabilities are not affected by the revised expense assumptions (2020: no change).
l)
Crediting Policy Adopted for Future Supportable Participating Benefits
For participating business, the Company's policy is to distribute profits arising such that over long periods the returns to policy holders are
commensurate with the investment returns achieved on relevant assets, together with other sources of profit arising from this business. In
applying the policyholders' share of distributions to provide bonuses, consideration is given to achieving equity between generations of
policyholders and equity between the various classes and sizes of policies in force. Assumed future bonus rates included in policyholder
liabilities were set such that the present value of policyholder liabilities, allowing for the shareholders' right to participate in distributions, equals
the value of assets supporting the business. The supportable future bonus rate on this basis is zero.
Non-life insurance liabilities
The value of non-life outstanding claims and the Li
ability Adequacy Test of the non-life business, have been carried out in accordance with
Professional Standard no. 30. After making appropriate checks, the actuary was satisfied as to the accuracy of the data from which the
amount of policy liabilities has been determined.

The disclosure of the components of operating profit after tax expense are required to be separated between policyholders’ and shareholders’
interests. We have included only one column, as policyholder profits arise only in respect of a small number of participating policies, and the
profits arising on these policies over the year were effectively zero. Accordingly all of the profits earned over the year are shareholder profits.
It is not currently possible to identify all experience variances separately for life investment contracts. The difference between actual and
assumed experience for life insurance contracts therefore includes some variances relating to life investment contracts.
Included within equity securities is dividend income of $Nil (2020: $Nil) and included within fixed interest securities is interest income of $Nil
(2020: $Nil). Included within total Investment Income is net realised and unrealised gains/(losses) on securities at fair value through profit or loss
of $1,582,000 (2020: ($77,000)).

The benefits offered under the Group's unit-linked investment contracts are based on the returns of selected equities and debt securities. This
investment mix is unique, and it cannot be associated to an individual benchmark index with a sufficiently high correlation. All financial liabilities at
fair value through profit and loss are designated by the Group to be in this measurement category. The liabilities originated from unit-linked
contracts are measured with reference to their respective underlyingassets of these contracts. Changes in the credit risk of the underlyingassets
do not impact the measurement of the unit-linked liabilities. The maturity value of these financial liabilities is determined by the fair value of the
linked assets, at maturity date.

The business undertaken and policies accepted by DPL Insurance Limited are a combination of investment linked and non-investment linked.
Investment linked business is business for which the life insurer issues a contract where the benefit amount is directly linked to the market value
of the investments held in the particular investment linked fund. Non-investment linked business is life insurance business other than investment
linked business.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LIMITED
Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
The above information is disclosed prior to the elimination of any related party transactions or balances as the insurance contract disclosures
relate to DPL Insurance Limited.
J. Managed Funds and other Fiduciary Activities
DPL Insurance Limited acted as a promoter for a number of superannuation funds with assets managed by a third party investment manager.
The assets and liabilities of these funds are not included in the financial statements. Arrangements exist to ensure the activities of the
superannuation funds are managed independently from the other activities of the company.
K. Insurance Risk
The insurance business of the Group involves a number of financial and non-financial risks. The financial risks are covered in note 5. Key
objectives in managing insurance risk are:
(i) To ensure sound business practices are in place for underwriting risks and claims management;
(ii) To achieve a target return on capital that is invested in order to take on insurance risk; and
(iii) To ensure solvency and capital requirements are met.
Life insurance
The life insurance business of the Group involves a number of non-financial risks concerned with the pricing, acceptance and management
of the mortality, and longevity risks accepted from policyholders. These risks are controlled through the use of underwriting procedures and
adequate premium rates and policy charges, all of which are approved by the Actuary. Tight controls are also maintained over claims
management practices to ensure the correct and timely payment of insurance claims.
Terms and conditions of life insurance contracts
The nature of the terms of the insurance contracts written by the Group is such that certain external variables can be identified on which
related cash flows for claim payments depend. The tables below provide an overview of the key variables upon which the amount of related
cash flows are dependent.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
Non-life insurance
The risk management activities include prudent unde
rwriting, pricing, and management of risk, together with claims management, reserving
and investment management. The objective of these disciplines is to enhance the financial performance of the insurance operations and to
ensure sound business practices are in place for underwriting risks and claims management.
Claims
Variations in claim levels will affect reported pro
fit and equity. The impact may be magnified if the variation leads to a change in actuarial
assumptions which cannot be absorbed within the present value of planned margins for a group of related products. Insurance risk may arise
through the reassessment of the incidence of claims, the trend of future claims and the effect of unforeseen diseases or epidemics. Insurance
risk is controlled by ensuring underwriting standards adequately identify potential risk, retaining the right to amend premiums on risk policies
where appropriate. The experience of the Group's life insurance business is reviewed regularly.
Concentration of insurance risk
The Group does not believe it has any major geograp
hic concentration of insurance risk. The Group's policies aim to reduce concentration
risk by maintaining a portfolio of policyholders with a broad spread of insurance risk types, ages, sexes, occupation classes and geographic
locations. The group uses reinsurance to limit the insurance risk exposure for any one individual.
Sensitivity Analysis
The liabilities included in the reported results ar
e calculated using certain assumptions about key variables as disclosed above. Sensitivity
analysis is conducted to assess the impact of actual experience being different to that assumed in the calculation of liabilities. Movements in
any variable will impact the profit and net assets of the Group. The tables below describe how a change in actual experience relative to that
expected will affect next financial year's expected shareholder profit.
Variable Impact of movement in underlying variable
Expense risk An increase in the level or inflationary growth of expenses over assumed levels will decrease profit and shareholders’
equity
Interest rate risk Depending on the profile of the investment portfolio, the investment income of the Group will decrease as interest rates
decrease. This may be offset to an extent by changes in the market value of fixed interest investments. The impact on
profit and shareholder equity depends on the relative profiles of assets and liabilities, to the extent that these are not
matched
Mortality rates For insurance contracts providing death benefits, greater mortality rates would lead to higher levels of claims,
increasing associated claims cost and therefore reducing profit and shareholder equity
Discontinuance The impact of discontinuance rate assumption depends on a range of factors including the type of contract, the
surrender value basis (where applicable) and the duration in force. For example, an increase in discontinuance rates
at earlier durations of life insurance contracts usually has a negative effect on profit and shareholder equity. However,
due to the interplay between the factors, there is not always an adverse outcome from an increase in discontinuance
rates
Market Risk For benefits which are not contractually linked to the underlying assets, the Group is exposed to Market Risk
The table below illustrates how changes in key assu
mptions would impact the reported profit and liabilities of the Group.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
Turners’ Board of Directors has adopted a corporate governance framework which encourages the highest standards of ethical
conduct and provides accountability and control systems commensurate with the risks involved.
The Board considers that this framework and governance practices for the year ended 31 March 2021 are generally in line with
the 10 December 2020 NZX Corporate Governance Code, except as stated below:
• Recommendation 2.5: An issuer should have a written diversity policy which includes requirements for the board or
relevant committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity: Turners has a diversity policy which
encourages a culture of diversity and inclusiveness at Turners. While no measurable objectives are in place, the board requires
management to provide regular reporting and monitoring on diversity within the Turners workforce. The Board also uses tools
such as the quarterly staff engagement survey to measure diversity and how the business is recognising, valuing and respecting
differences to establish benchmark measures and progress.
• Recommendation 2.9: An issuer should have an independent chairperson of the board. The chairperson of the board is
Grant Baker, a non-executive director. Grant has a 7.54% shareholding in Turners and therefore the Board has determined that
he is not an independent director. The chair is not the CEO of Turners, is not involved in the day to day running of the business
and does not have significant influence over operational decisions.
• Recommendation 3.3 and 3.4: An issuer should have a remuneration committee and a nomination committee.
Due to the size of the Company's Board, matters normally dealt with by a remuneration committee or nominations committee are
dealt with by the full Board.
The Company will continue to monitor best practice in the governance area and update its policies to ensure it maintains the most
appropriate standards.
The information in this report is current as at 24 June 2021 and has been approved by the Board of Turners.
The Turners’ Corporate Governance Code and other key policies are available on the Turners Automotive Group Limited website:
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html.
PRINCIPLE 1 – CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR
Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for
these standards being followed throughout the organisation.
The Board recognises that high ethical standards and behaviours are central to good corporate governance and it is committed
to the observance of a written Code of Ethics for Turners.
The Code of Ethics is the framework of standards by which directors, employees, contractors for personal services and advisers
to Turners and its related companies are expected to conduct their professional lives. It has been approved by the Board in April
2021.
The Code of Ethics is intended to facilitate decisions that are consistent with Turners values, business goals and legal and policy
obligations, thereby enhancing performance outcomes. In particular, it covers conflicts of interest, gifts, confidentiality, corporate
opportunities, behaviour, proper use of assets and information and compliance with laws and policies. No donations have been
to any political parties in FY21.
The Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website. Employees are expected to report any breaches in line with the
processes outlined in the Code of Ethics. Turners has a Whistle Blower Policy to allow employees to raise the alarm on concerns
they may have over malpractice without fear of retribution from their colleagues or employer.
The Board believes that all directors conformed to the Code of Ethics during the 2021 financial year.
Turners has a Quoted Financial Product Trading Code of Conduct to mitigate the risk of insider trading in Turners financial
products by employees and directors. A copy of this is available on Turners’ website. Additional trading restrictions apply to
Restricted Persons including directors and certain employees. Details of directors’ share dealings are on page 87 of the 2021
Financial Statements.

PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and
perspectives.
The Turners Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Company, overseeing the financial and operational
controls of the business, putting in place appropriate risk management strategies and policies and enhancing its value for
shareholders in accordance with good corporate governance principles.
In addition to the Turners Corporate Governance Code, the Turners Board also operates under a written charter which sets out:
• the structure of the Board;
• the role and responsibilities of directors;
• procedures for the nomination, resignation and removal of directors;
• identifies procedures to ensure that the Board meets regularly, conducts its meetings in an efficient and effective
manner; and
• ensures that each Director is fully empowered to perform his or her duties as a director of Turners and to fully participate
in meetings of the Board.
Day to day management of Turners is undertaken by the executive team under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer,
through a set of delegated authorities which are reviewed annually.
In discharging their duties, directors have direct access to and may rely on information, financial data and professional or expert
advice provided by Turners’ senior management and external advisers. Directors have the right, with the approval of the Chairman
or by resolution of the Board, to seek independent legal or financial advice at the expense of Turners for the proper performance
of their duties.
Newly elected directors are expected to familiarise themselves with their obligations under the constitution, Board Charter,
Turners Corporate Governance Code and the NZX Listing Rules. Training is also provided to new and existing Directors where
required to enable directors to understand their obligations.
Board Composition and Appointment
The number of elected directors and the procedure for their retirement and re-election at Annual Shareholder Meetings is set out
in Turners Constitution.
Turners considers that the nomination process for new Director appointments is the responsibility of the whole Board and it does
not have a separate nomination committee. The Board takes into consideration tenure, capability, diversity and skills when
reviewing Board composition and new appointments.
Directors will retire and may stand for re-election by shareholders every three years, in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules.
A Director appointed since the previous annual meeting holds office only until the next annual meeting, but is eligible for re-
election at that meeting.
When a director is newly appointed, Turners will enter into a written agreement with them setting out the terms of their
employment.
The Board currently comprises of seven directors: a non-executive chairman, four independent directors and two non-executive
directors. While the Board is very active, non-executive directors are not involved in the day to day running of the business and
have no influence over operational decisions. Directors are all elected based on the value they bring to the Board and against
set criteria detailed in Turners Corporate Governance Code. The Board believes that the current directors provide valuable
expertise and experience and offer complementary skill sets. The mix of long-standing and newer directors ensures that continuity
of knowledge and organisational memory is balanced with fresh perspectives.
As at 31 March 2021, Board members were:
• Grant Baker, Non-executive Chairman: Appointed 10 September 2009
• Paul Byrnes, Deputy chairman and Independent Director: Appointed 2 February 2004
• Martin Berry, Independent Director: Appointed 17 August 2018
• Matthew Harrison, Non-executive director: Appointed 12 December 2012
• Alistair Petrie, Non-executive director: Appointed 24 February 2016
• John Roberts, Independent Director: Appointed 1 July 2015
• Antony Vriens, Independent Director: Appointed 12 January 2015
In order for a Director to be an independent director, the Board has determined that the relevant director must not be an executive
of Turners and must have no disqualifying relationships. The Board follows the guidelines of the NZX Corporate Governance
Code.
Information on each director is available on the Turners website and on page 20 and 21 of the 2021 Annual Report.
Director’s interests are disclosed on pages 87 to 90 of the 2021 Financial Statements.
Board Training and Performance
The Company encourages all Directors to undertake appropriate training and education so that they may best perform their
duties. This includes attending presentations on changes in governance, legal and regulatory frameworks; attending technical
and professional development courses; and attending presentations from industry experts and key advisers. In addition, Directors
receive updates on relevant industry and Company issues, and briefings from key executives.
The Board regularly considers individual and collective performance, together with the skill sets, training and development and
succession planning required to govern the business. An external review was conducted in FY20, and recommendations
regarding the quality and frequency of communication between management and the Board have been implemented.
Diversity
Turners believes that diversity and inclusion of background, experiences, thoughts and ways of working lead to greater creative
and innovative solutions which ultimately lead to a superior outcome for its stakeholders socially, economically and
environmentally.
Diversity in Turners includes (but is not limited to) the following: gender, race, ethnicity and cultural background, thinking, physical
capability, age, sexual orientation, and religious or political belief.
Turners Diversity and Inclusion Policy is available on the Turners website. The Board requires management to provide regular
reporting and monitoring on diversity and wellbeing within the Turners workforce.
The quarterly staff survey includes questions on equality with respondents rating Turners 8.2 out of 10 and higher.
As at 31 March 2021 the gender balance of Turners directors and people was as follows:
31 March 2021 31 March 2020
Female Male Female Male
Directors - 7 - 7
Senior Leadership 7 26 6 26
Management 38 54 37 57
Other Employees 223 274 268 377
Board Meetings and Attendance
The Board has 11 scheduled meetings a year. The table below sets out Directors’ attendance at Board and Committee meetings
during FY21. In total, there were 15 Board meetings; 3 Audit, Risk Management & Sustainability Committee meetings; and 18
Lending and Credit Committee meetings.

PRINCIPLE 3 – COMMITTEES
The Board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining Board
responsibility.
The Board has constituted two standing Committees being the Audit, Risk Management and Sustainability Committee and the
Lending and Credit Committee. Turners will continue to monitor best practice in the governance area and update its policies to
ensure it maintains the most appropriate standards.
Committees allow issues requiring detailed consideration to be dealt with separately by members of the Board with specialist
knowledge and experience, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Board. However, the Board retains ultimate
responsibility for the functions of its Committees and determines their responsibilities.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT cont.
9392
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT cont.
The Committees meet as required and have terms of reference (Charters), which are approved and reviewed by the Board.
Minutes of each Committee meeting are forwarded to all members of the Board, who are all entitled to attend any Committee
meeting. Management may only attend committee meetings at the invitation of the Committee.
Each Committee is empowered to seek any information it requires from employees in pursuing its duties and to obtain
independent legal or other professional advice. The membership and performance of each Committee is reviewed annually. From
time to time, special purpose committees may be formed to review and monitor specific projects with senior management.
Audit, Risk Management & Sustainability Committee (ARMS Committee)
The role of the ARMS Committee is to assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the Companies Act 1993 and the
Financial Reporting Act 2013 regarding accountancy practices, policies and controls relative to the Turner’s financial position and
make appropriate enquiry into the audits of the Turner’s financial statements. This responsibility includes providing the Board
with additional assurance about the quality and reliability of the financial information issued publicly by Turners. All matters
required to be addressed and for which the Committee has responsibility were addressed during the reporting period.
The Committee is comprised solely of non-executive Directors of Turners, has three members, has a majority of independent
Directors and has at least one director with an accounting or financial background. The Chair of the committee is not the Chair
of the Board and does not have a long-standing association with Turners’ external audit firm as a current, or retired, audit partner
or senior manager at that firm. Management and employees may only attend meetings at the invitation of the Committee and the
Committee routinely has Committee-only time with the external and internal auditors without management present. The
Committee Charter is available as Appendix B in the Turners Corporate Governance Code.
Members as at 31 March 2021 were John Roberts (Chair), Antony Vriens and Alistair Petrie. It met three times during the financial
year.
Lending and Credit Committee
The Lending and Credit Committee reviews the lending and credit policies of Turners’ Finance subsidiary company. It is also
responsible for the approval of lending policies, the approval/decline of loan applications in terms of approval authority and
reviews the recovery of overdue loans and doubtful debt provisions in order to ensure that provisioning is satisfactory.
The Lending and Credit Committee members as at 31 March 2021 were Matthew Harrison (Chair), Alistair Petrie and John
Roberts. It met eighteen times during the financial year.
Takeovers
Turners prepared in the event of a takeover. The Board has adopted a written Takeover Response Policy (contained within the
Turners Corporate Governance Code) to follow in the event that a takeover notice or scheme of arrangement proposal is
imminent. This policy would involve Turners forming an Independent Takeover committee to oversee disclosure and response,
and engage expert legal and financial advisors to provide advice on procedure.
PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE
The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of
corporate disclosures
Turners’ directors are committed to keeping investors and the market informed of all material information about Turners and its
performance, and ensuring compliance with applicable legislative and the NZX Listing Rules. The release of material information
is guided by the Reporting and Disclosure section in Turners Corporate Governance Code, and the Turners Continuous
Disclosure Policy, which are available to view on Turners’ website.
Copies of other key governance documents are also available on Turners’ website.
In addition to all information required by law, Turners also seeks to provide sufficiently meaningful information to ensure
stakeholders and investors are well informed, including financial and non-financial information.
Financial information
The Board is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Turners
and have been prepared using appropriate accounting policies, consistently applied and supported by reasonable judgements,
estimates and for ensuring all relevant financial reporting and accounting standards have been followed.
The Group Financial Controller holds the role of Company Secretary. In all accounting and secretarial matters, the Board ensures
that the Secretary’s reports are objective and that the Secretary has unfettered access to the chair and the ARMS committee,
without reference to the CEO.
For the financial year ended 31 March 2021, the directors believe that proper accounting records have been kept which enable,
with reasonable accuracy, the determination of the financial position of Turners and facilitate compliance with Part 7 of the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. The Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer have
confirmed in writing to the Board that Turners’ external financial reports present a true and fair view in all material aspects.
Turners’ full financial statements and half year results are available on Turners’ website.
Non-financial information
The Board recognises the importance of non-financial disclosure and in particular, environmental, social and governance (ESG)
matters. Turners has an Environmental, Social and Governance Policy in section 14 of Turners Corporate Governance Code. A
number of initiatives underway which supports Turners’ focus in these areas. The company is also in the process of establishing
and measuring emissions targets.
Turners is committed to using its resources responsibly and will look for opportunities to reduce any negative environmental risk
or impact from business operations, products and services. Turners is committed to providing fair and responsible products and
services that includes adherence to the Responsible Lending Code, the Responsible Credit-Related Insurance Code, Insurance
(Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 and various other Acts.
The Board will encourage diversity and will not knowingly participate in business situations where Turners’ could be complicit in
human rights and labour standard abuses.
Turners discusses its strategic objectives and its progress against these in the Chair and CEO’s commentary in shareholder
reports, and at other investor events during the year including investor presentations and the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.
The Board promotes the alignment of the interests of the directors, the CEO and management with the long term interests of
shareholders. Remuneration policies and structure are reviewed regularly to ensure remuneration of management and directors
is fair and reasonable in a competitive market for the skills, knowledge and experience required by Turners.
The Board recognises that it is desirable that executive (including executive director) remuneration should include an element
dependent upon the performance of both Turners and the individual, and should be clearly differentiated from non-executive
director remuneration.
Details of directors and executives’ remuneration and entitlements for the 2021 financial year are detailed on pages 75 and 87 of
the Annual Report.
The Remuneration Policy is included in section 10 of Turners Corporate Governance Code. Turners does not have a
Remuneration Committee and matters pertaining to remuneration are dealt with by the full Board.
Director Remuneration
The total remuneration pool available for Directors is fixed by shareholders. The Board determines the level of remuneration paid
to Directors from the approved collective pool. Directors also receive reimbursement for reasonable travelling, accommodation
and other expenses incurred in the course of performing their duties. The annual fee pool limit is $665,000 and was approved by
shareholders at the annual meeting in September 2018. Any proposed increases in non-executive Director fees and remuneration
will be put to shareholders for approval. If independent advice is sought by the Board, it will be disclosed to shareholders as part
of the approval process. Board policy is that no sum is paid to a director upon retirement or cessation of office.
While there is no formal requirement, all of Turners’ directors either directly or indirectly own shares in the company. Details of
shareholdings are on page 87 of the 2021 Financial Statements.
Board Remuneration
• Chairman $150,000
• Non-executive Director $75,000
• Chair of DPL Insurance Limited $35,000
• Chair of DPL Insurance Limited for duties as a non-executive director for TRA $75,000
• Chair of ARMS Committee $15,000
• Chair of Credit and Lending Committee $15,000
DPL Insurance is legally required to operate a separate board because it holds an insurance license with the Reserve Bank of
New Zealand. Antony Vriens is the current chairman of the DPL Insurance board and is also a non-executive director of Turners.
Details of individual Directors’ remuneration are detailed on page 87 of the 2021 Annual Report.
Turners does not pay fees upon retirement of directors.

Executive Remuneration
Executive remuneration consists of a fixed base salary, a variable short term bonus paid annually and a long term incentive,
being a Share Option Plan. Bonuses are paid against targets agreed with executives at the commencement of the year and are
based on profitability, growth and personal objectives.
Details of executives’ remuneration and entitlements are detailed under Key Management Compensation on page 75 and
Remuneration of Employees information on page 88 of the 2021 Financial Statements.
Details of the Group’s Share Option Plan are detailed on page 73 and 74 of the 2021 Financial Statements.
CEO Remuneration
The review and approval of the CEO’s remuneration is the responsibility of the Board. The CEO’s remuneration comprises a fixed
base salary, a variable short term bonus payable annually and a long term incentive, being participation in the Group’s Share
Option Plan.
The CEO’s remuneration can be summarised as follows:
Salary Benefits Subtotal Pay for Performance Total
Remuneration
FY21 539,117 56,434 595,552 300,000 100% 895,552
FY20 543,761 50,224 593,985 - - 593,985
Short term incentive: A short term bonus is paid against profit targets agreed at the commencement of the year.
In July 2020, the CEO was granted 1,000,000 options at an exercise price of $2.00 under the Group’s Share Option Plan. The
grant is split into 4 tranches of 250,000 options with the following vesting dates; 1 June 2021, 1 June 2022, 1 June 2023 and 1
June 2024. Each tranche expires two years after the vesting date.
The weighted average fair value of the options granted, using the Binomial Tree option pricing model, was $0.31 per option.
If a participant in the Group Share Option Plan leaves (by any means and for any reason) the employment of the Company or
any applicable subsidiary, the participant’s options which have reached their vesting date, together with any other options as may
be nominated at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company in extraordinary circumstances (such as the redundancy,
permanent disablement or death of a Participant), may be exercised within a period of 60 days (following which they will lapse)and
the participant's other Options will lapse immediately.
PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT
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.
Turners is committed to proactively managing risk. While this is the responsibility of the entire Board, the ARMS Committee
assists the Board and provides additional oversight in regards to the risk management framework and monitoring compliance
with that framework.
The Board’s approach to risk management is incorporated into ARMS Committee Charter which is included as Appendix B in
Turners Corporate Governance Code. The Board delegates day to date management of the risk to the Chief Executive. The
executive team and senior management are required to regularly identify the major risks affecting the business and develop
structures, practices and processes to manage and monitor these risks. Individual risks are discussed with the Board in detail as
required.
Key financial and non-financial risks are included in note 5 of the 2021 Financial Statements.
The Board is satisfied that Turners has in place a risk management process to effectively identify, manage and monitor Turners’
principal risks. Turners maintains insurance policies that it considers adequate to meet its insurable risks.
Health and Safety
The Board recognises that effective management of health and safety is essential for the operation of a successful business, and
its intent is to prevent harm and promote wellbeing for employees, contractors and customers.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that the systems used to identify and manage health and safety risks are fit for purpose,
being effectively implemented, regularly reviewed and continuously improved.
Turners has a Health and Safety Policy which is monitored by a Health and Safety Committee assisted by Health and Safety
coordinators in each business unit. Health and Safety reports for all business units are included in the compliance section of
Board papers.
PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.
The Board’s approach to the appointment and oversight of the external auditor are outlined in Turners’ External Audit Policy
(section 9 of the Turners Corporate Governance Code) and ensures that audit independence is maintained, both in fact and
appearance, such that Turners external financial reporting is viewed as being highly reliable and credible.
The ARMS Committee provides additional oversight of the external auditor, reviews the quality and cost of the audit undertaken
by the Company’s external auditors and provides a formal channel of communication between the Board, senior management
and external auditors. The Committee also assesses the auditor’s independence on an annual basis.
Procedures are detailed in the ARMS Committee Charter (Appendix B of the Turners Corporate Governance Code).
For the financial year ended 31 March 2021, Baker Tilly Staples Rodway was the external auditor for Turners Automotive Group
Limited. Baker Tilly Staples Rodway were first appointed as external auditor in 1999 and were automatically re-appointed under
the Companies Act 1993 at the 2020 Annual Shareholder Meeting. The last audit partner rotation was in the 2020 calendar year.
All audit work at Turners is fully separated from non-audit services, to ensure that appropriate independence is maintained. The
amount of fees paid to Baker Tilly Staples Rodway for audit and other services is identified on page 57 of the 2021 Annual Report.
Baker Tilly Staples Rodway has provided the Turners’ Board with written confirmation that, in their view, they were able to operate
independently during the year.
Baker Tilly Staples Rodway attends the Annual Shareholder Meeting, and the lead audit partner is available to answer questions
from shareholders at that meeting. Baker Tilly Staples Rodway attended the 2020 Annual Shareholder Meeting.
Turners has a number of internal controls overseen by ARMS Committee, including controls for computerised information system,
security, business continuity management, insurance, health and safety, conflicts of interest, and prevention and identification of
fraud. Turners does not have a dedicated Internal Auditor role.
PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS
The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that
encourage them to engage with the issuer.
The Board is committed to open dialogue and to facilitating engagement with shareholders. Turners has a calendar of
communications and events for shareholders, including but not limited to:
• Annual and Interim Reports

Shareholders are encouraged to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and may raise matters for discussion at this event.
The company live streams the annual meeting, which is accessible worldwide. In 2020, due to COVID-related disruption, the
meeting was held online only.
In accordance with the NZX Corporate Governance Code, the Board ensured that the notice of the 2020 Annual Shareholder
Meeting was posted to Turners’ website as soon as possible, and at least 20 working days prior to that meeting.
Shareholders have the ultimate control in corporate governance by voting directors on or off the Board. Voting is by poll, upholding
the ‘one share, one vote’ philosophy.
