Barramundi delivers record FY21 Profit


Highlights

• Net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2021 $52.3m

• Total shareholder return

1

+83.3%

• Dividend return +6.6%

• Adjusted NAV return (after expenses, fees and tax)

2

+37.6%


Barramundi Limited (NZX: BRM) announces a record net profit of $52.3m for the 12 month period

ended 30 June 2021, well ahead of last year’s net profit of $12.5m, noting that care needs to be

taken in the comparison with last year as Covid uncertainty materially impacted February, March

and April results which were then partly recovered during May and June 2020.


Key elements of the FY21 result include gains on investment of $53.9m, dividend, interest and other

income of $3.3m, offset by expenses, fees and tax of $4.9m


Chair Alistair Ryan noted that “The impact of Covid uncertainty on the prior year result (FY20) is

difficult to identify precisely and the FY21 result does inevitably include some recovery from the

previous year. Nevertheless, shareholders should be very satisfied with the record net profit of

$52.3m for FY21.”


Mr Ryan noted “Total Shareholder Return

1

was exceptionally strong at 83.3% and both Adjusted

NAV Return

2

(37.6%) and Gross Performance

3

(41.6%) were well ahead of the company’s benchmark

index

4

of 28.1%. Despite the uncertainty overhangs, this has been an excellent result for Barramundi

shareholders.”


Barramundi’s Manager, Fisher Funds, will be paid a capped performance fee of $2.5m including GST,

as the Barramundi portfolio achieved a return in excess of both the performance fee hurdle and the

High Water Mark. The performance fee earn rate was renegotiated down from 15% to 10% in FY19

and capped at 1.25%. The performance fee cap applies for FY21.

Senior Portfolio Manager Robbie Urquhart said “This has been a great year for Barramundi,

especially in the context of the global pandemic that continues to overshadow the globe.”

Mr Urquhart added “In the early part of the financial year, as the world remained mired in

lockdowns, our tech and online companies such as Wisetech, Carsales and Xero drove our portfolio

performance. From November 2020 onwards, when vaccines were approved and the global

economy began unlocking, our bank shareholdings took up the baton of portfolio performance. This

was helped by rising interest rates and rebounding credit growth. This highlights the value of having

some balance to the mix of high-quality companies across sectors in our portfolio. It reduces the

reliance of portfolio returns on any one specific economic environment.”

In accordance with Barramundi’s quarterly distribution policy (2% of average NAV per quarter), the

company paid a total of 6.00 cents per share to shareholders during the year ended 30 June 2021.

On 23 August 2021 the board declared a dividend of 1.69 cents per share, payable on 24 September

2021 with a record date of 9 September 2021.

1

Total Shareholder Return- the return combines the share price performance, the warrant price performance, the net

value of converting any warrants into shares, and the dividends paid to shareholders. It assumes all dividends are

reinvested in the company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and that shareholders exercise their warrants, (if they were in the

money), at warrant expiry date.

2

Adjusted NAV return- the net return to an investor after expenses, fees & tax.

3

Gross Performance Return – The Manager’s portfolio performance in terms of stock selection & currency hedging before

expenses, fees and tax.

4

S&P / ASX 200 index (hedged 70% to NZ$).


The total shareholder return, adjusted NAV return and gross performance return methodologies are described in the Barramundi Non-

GAAP Financial Information Policy. A copy of the policy is available at http://www.barramundi.co.nz/about-barramundi/barramundi-

policies/

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Note 1Basis of Accounting

Reporting Entity

Barramundi Limited ("Barramundi" or "the Company") is listed on the NZX Main Board, is registered in New

Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conduct

Act 2013.

The Company’s registered office is Level 1, 67-73 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna, Auckland.

Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 7 of the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013, the NZX Main Board listing rules and New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS) as appropriate to for-profit entities, and International Financial Reporting

Standards (IFRS).

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial assets and

liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The functional and reporting currency used to prepare the financial statements is New Zealand dollars, rounded

to the nearest one thousand dollars.

The operating expenses include GST where it is charged by other parties as it cannot be reclaimed.

The impact of COVID-19 on the Company's financial statements was considered and, other than the impact

of the post COVID-19 recovery on investment fair value gains, there have been no other impacts on the

Company's financial reporting.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

Foreign currency transactions are converted into New Zealand dollars using exchange rates prevailing at

transaction date. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into New Zealand dollars using the

exchange rates prevailing at the balance date.

Foreign exchange gains or losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net changes in fair value of financial assets

and liabilities".

BARRAMUNDI LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Note 2Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Given that the investment portfolio is managed, and performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis in

accordance with a documented investment strategy, Barramundi has classified all of its investments at fair

value through profit or loss.

Investments are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently revalued to reflect changes in fair value.

Net changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise Australian listed equity investment assets

and forward foreign exchange contracts with positive value.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise forward foreign exchange contracts with

negative value.

Forward foreign exchange contracts can be used as economic hedges for equity investments against

currency risk. They are accounted for on the same basis as those investments and are recognised at their

fair value.

All purchases and sales of investments are recognised at trade date, which is the date the Company commits

to purchase or sell the investment and transaction costs are expensed as incurred. When an investment is

sold, any gain or loss arising on the sale is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Realised

gains or losses are calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the

item.

The fair value of listed equity investments traded in active markets are based on last sale prices at balance

date, except where the last sale price falls outside the bid-ask spread for a particular investment, in which case

the bid price will be used to value the investment.

The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined by using valuation techniques based on

spot exchange rates and forward points supplied by The World Markets Company PLC via Refinitiv.

Dividend income from investments is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the

Company's right to receive payments is established (ex-dividend date).

Investments recognised at fair value are categorised according to a fair value hierarchy that shows the extent

of judgement used in determining their fair value. Where unadjusted quoted prices are used in an active market,

the investments are categorised as Level 1. When significant inputs derived from quoted prices are used, the

investments are categorised as Level 2. If significant inputs are not based on observable market data, they are

categorised as Level 3.

All listed equity investments held by Barramundi are categorised as Level 1 and all forward foreign exchange

contracts are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers between levels of

the fair value hierarchy during the year (2020: none).

There were no financial instruments classified as Level 3 at 30 June 2021 (2020: none).

Note 5

Taxation

Barramundi is a Portfolio Investment Entity ("PIE") for tax purposes.

Taxation expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the

taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at balance date, and any

adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised

as a liability or asset to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Deferred tax (if any) is recognised as the

difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts

used for taxation purposes. A deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent it is probable it will be utilised.

Imputation credits

The imputation credits available for subsequent reporting periods total $633 (2020: $94,149). This amount

represents the balance of the imputation credit account at the end of the reporting period, adjusted for

imputation credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as a receivable at 30 June 2021.

Note 6

Shareholders' Equity

Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares and

warrants are shown in equity as a deduction.

When shares are acquired by the Company, the amount of consideration paid is recognised directly in equity.

Acquired shares are classified as treasury stock and presented as a deduction from share capital. When

treasury stock is subsequently sold or reissued, the cost of treasury stock is reversed and the realised gain or

loss on sale or reissue, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is recognised within share

capital.

Barramundi has 213,764,688 fully paid ordinary shares on issue (2020: 208,719,740). All ordinary shares rank

equally and have no par value. All shares carry an entitlement to dividends and one vote is attached to each

fully paid ordinary share.

Buybacks

Barramundi maintains an ongoing share buyback programme. For the year ended 30 June 2021, Barramundi

did not acquire any shares (2020: 1,112,889 shares, $705,988) under the programme which allows up to 5%

of the ordinary shares on issue (as at the date 12 months prior to the acquisition) to be acquired. Shares

acquired under the buyback programme are held as treasury stock and subsequently reissued to shareholders

under the dividend reinvestment plan. There were no shares held as treasury stock at balance date (2020: nil).

Warrants

Page 8 of 14

On 5 October 2020, 52,532,918 new Barramundi warrants were allotted, and quoted on the NZX Main Board

on 6 October 2020. One new warrant was issued to all eligible shareholders for every four shares held on

record date. The warrants are exercisable at $0.70 per warrant, adjusted down for dividends declared during

the period up to the exercise date of 29 October 2021. Warrant holders can elect to exercise some or all of

their warrants on the exercise date. The net cost of issuing the warrants of $3,450 is deducted from share

capital.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Barramundi has a dividend reinvestment plan which provides ordinary shareholders with the option to reinvest

all or part of any cash dividends in fully paid ordinary shares at a 3% discount to the five-day volume weighted

average share price from the date the shares trade ex-entitlement. During the year ended 30 June 2021,

5,044,948 ordinary shares totalling $4,503,104 (2020: 6,502,038 ordinary shares totalling $3,925,414) were

issued in relation to the plan for the quarterly dividends paid. To participate in the dividend reinvestment plan,

a completed participation notice must be received by Barramundi before the next record date.

Note 7Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the

weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share assumes

conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares in determining the denominator. Potential ordinary shares

include outstanding warrants.

Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets at amortised cost and are initially recognised at

fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost less any provision for impairment. Receivables are

assessed on a case-by-case basis for impairment.

The trade and other receivables' carrying values are a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Related Party Information

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over

the other party in making financial or operational decisions.

Transactions with related parties

The Manager of Barramundi is Fisher Funds Management Limited ("Fisher Funds" or "the Manager"). Fisher

Funds is a related party by virtue of the Management Agreement. In return for the performance of its duties

as Manager, Fisher Funds is paid the following fees:

(i) Management fee: 1.25% (plus GST) per annum of the gross asset value, calculated weekly and payable

monthly in arrears. The fee reduces if the Manager underperforms, thereby aligning the Manager's interests

with those of the Barramundi shareholders. For every 1% underperformance (relative to the change in the NZ

90 Day Bank Bill Index) the management fee percentage is reduced by 0.1%, subject to a minimum 0.75% per

annum management fee.

(ii) Performance fee: Fisher Funds may earn an annual performance fee of 10% plus GST (2020: 15% plus

GST) of excess returns over and above the performance fee hurdle return (being the change in the NZ 90 Day

Bank Bill Index plus 7%) subject to achieving the High Water Mark ("HWM"). The total performance fee

amount is subject to a cap of 1.25% of the adjusted net asset value (prior to performance fees) and is settled

fully in cash.

The HWM is the dollar amount by which the net asset value per share exceeds the highest net asset value per

share (after adjustment for capital changes and distributions) at the end of any previous calculation period in

which a performance fee was payable, multiplied by the number of shares at the end of the period.

In accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, when a performance fee is earned, it is paid

within 60 days of the balance date.

Performance fees paid to the Manager are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive

Income and treated in line with a typical operating expense.

For the year ended 30 June 2021, excess returns of $43,716,564 (2020: $2,966,757) were generated and the

net asset value per share before the deduction of a performance fee was $0.87 (2020: $0.68), which exceeded

the HWM after adjustment for capital changes and distributions of $0.62 (2020: $0.57). Accordingly, the

Company has expensed a capped performance fee of $2,477,923 in the Statement of Comprehensive Income

for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $301,126).

(iii) Administration fee: Fisher Funds provides corporate administration services and a monthly fee is

charged.

Investment transactions with related parties

Off-market transactions between Barramundi and other funds managed by Fisher Funds take place for the

purposes of rebalancing portfolios without incurring brokerage costs. These transactions are conducted after

the market has closed at last sale price (on an arm’s length basis). Purchases for the year ended 30 June 2021

totalled $168,533 (2020: $3,388,954) and there were no sales (2020: $55,960).

GST refund

Page 11 of 14

On 30 April 2021, Fisher Funds received a GST refund plus use of money interest (UOMI) from the Inland

Revenue Department ("IRD"). The refund relates to the period 1 April 2004 to 31 July 2009 when the Manager

applied 15% GST on management fees, when a subsequent assessment confirmed the Manager was entitled

to charge only 1.5% GST on management fees. The total GST refund received by the Manager on behalf of

Barramundi is $491,502, being overcharged GST refunded of $481,644 plus UOMI of $9,858.

GST refund (continued)

The GST refund was received by Barramundi in May 2021.

Directors

The directors of Barramundi are the only key management personnel and they are paid a fee for their services.

The directors' fee pool is $157,500 (plus GST if any) per annum (2020: $157,500). The amount paid to

directors (inclusive of GST for three directors) is disclosed in note 4 under directors' fees (all directors earn a

director's fee).

The directors or their associates also held shares in the Company at 30 June 2021 and warrants during the year.

The table below shows a reconciliation of opening and closing share holdings and warrant holdings for all

directors or their associates:

Note 12

Financial Risk Management

The Company is subject to a number of financial risks which arise as a result of its investment activities,

including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Management Agreement between Barramundi and Fisher Funds details permitted investments. Financial

instruments currently recognised in the financial statements also comprise cash and cash equivalents, forward

foreign exchange contracts, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables.

Market Risk

All equity investments present a risk of loss of capital, often due to factors beyond the Company's control such

as competition, regulatory changes, commodity price changes and changes in general economic climates

domestically and internationally. The Manager moderates this risk through careful stock selection, diversification

and daily monitoring of the market positions. For corporate governance purposes there is also regular reporting

to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Manager has to meet the criteria of authorised investments within the

prudential limits defined in the Management Agreement.

The market risk of the Company is concentrated in Australia.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of gains or losses from changes in the market price of investments. The Company is

exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the underlying value of its listed portfolio companies. There were no

companies individually comprising more than 10% of Barramundi’s total assets at 30 June 2021 (2020: none).

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of movements in interest rates. Surplus cash is held in interest bearing Australian

and New Zealand bank accounts. The Company is therefore exposed to the risk of changes in interest income

from movements in both Australian and New Zealand interest rates. There is no hedge against the risk of

movements in interest rates.

Page 12 of 14

The GST refund and UOMI are excluded from any performance fee calculation, consistent with how they have

been treated in the past given they are not performance related income for the year.

BARRAMUNDI LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Note 12

Financial Risk Management (continued)

Market Risk (continued)

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an investment will fluctuate because of changes

in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds assets denominated in Australian dollars and it is therefore

exposed to currency risk as the value of these assets in Australian dollars will fluctuate with changes in the

relative value of the New Zealand dollar. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into forward foreign

exchange contracts as and when the Manager deems it appropriate. At any time during the year the portfolio

may be hedged by an amount deemed appropriate by the Manager.

Sensitivity Analysis

The table below summarises the impact on net operating profit after tax and shareholders' equity to reasonably

possible changes arising from market risk exposure at 30 June as follows:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to

the Company. In the normal course of its business, the Company is exposed to credit risk from transactions

with its counterparties.

The Company measures credit risk and expected credit losses using probability of default, exposure at default

and loss given default. Management considers both historical analysis and forward looking information in

determining any expected credit loss. At balance date, cash at bank was held with counterparties with a credit

rating of S&P AA- or equivalent. Trade and other receivables are normally settled within three business days.

Page 13 of 14

Management considers the probability of default to be close to zero as the counterparties have a strong

capacity to meet their contractual obligations in the near term. As a result, no loss allowance has been

recognised based on 12-month expected credit losses as any such impairment would be wholly insignificant

to the Company.

3

A variable of 10% was selected as this is a reasonably expected movement based on historic trends in exchange rate movements.

Australian listed equity investments are held by an independent custodian, Trustees Executors Limited. All

transactions in listed securities are paid for on delivery according to standard settlement instructions and are

normally settled within three business days. Dividends receivable are due from listed Australian companies and

are normally settled within a month after the Ex-Dividend date. The Company has cash and forward foreign

exchange contracts with banks registered in New Zealand and Australia which carry a minimum short-term

credit rating of S&P AA-.

1

A variable of 20% is considered appropriate for market price risk sensitivity analysis based on historical price movements.

2

A variable of 1% was selected as this is a reasonably expected movement based on historical volatility. The percentage movement for the

interest rate sensitivity relates to an absolute change in interest rate rather than a percentage change in interest rate.

BARRAMUNDI LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Note 12

Financial Risk Management (continued)

Credit Risk (continued)

The maximum credit risk of financial assets is deemed to be their carrying amount as reported in the Statement

of Financial Position.

Other than cash at bank, short term unsettled trades and dividends receivable, there are no significant

concentrations of credit risk. The Company does not expect non-performance by counterparties, therefore no

collateral or security is required.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the assets held by the Company cannot readily be converted to cash in order to

meet the Company's financial obligations as they fall due. The Company endeavours to invest the proceeds

from the issue of shares in appropriate investments while maintaining sufficient liquidity (through daily cash

monitoring) to meet working capital and investment requirements. All trade and other payables have contractual

maturities of three months or less.

Liquidity to fund investment requirements can be augmented through the procurement of a debt facility from a

registered bank to a maximum value of 20% of the gross asset value of the Company. There were no such

debt facilities at 30 June 2021 (2020: nil).

All derivative financial liabilities held by the Company have contractual maturities of three months or less.

There have been no subsequent events to suggest any issues with satisfying working capital and investment

requirements.

Capital Risk Management

The Company’s objective is to prudently manage shareholder capital (share capital, reserves, accumulated

deficits) and borrowings (if any).

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to

shareholders, return capital to shareholders, undertake share buybacks, issue new shares and secure

borrowings in the short term.

The Company was not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements during the year.

Since announcing a long-term distribution policy in August 2009, the Company continues to pay 2% of average

net asset value each quarter.

Note 13

Net Asset Value

The audited net asset value per share of Barramundi as at 30 June 2021 was $0.87 (2020: $0.68), calculated

as the net assets of $185,691,037 divided by the number of shares on issue of 213,764,688 (2020: net assets

of $141,516,499 and shares on issue of 208,719,740).

Note 14

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

There were no unrecognised contractual commitments or contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2021 (2020: nil).

Note 15

Financial Reporting by Segments

The Company operates in a single operating segment, being Australian financial investment.

The Company is managed as a whole and is considered to have a single operating segment. There is no

further division of the Company or internal segment reporting used by the Directors when making strategic,

investment or resource allocation decisions.

There has been no change to the operating segment during the year.

Note 16

Subsequent Events

The Board declared a dividend of 1.69 cents per share on 23 August 2021. The record date for this dividend is

9 September 2021 with a payment date of 24 September 2021.

On 1 July 2021 Barramundi appointed David McClatchy as an independent director. He replaced Carmel Fisher,

who retired from the board of directors on 6 August 2021.

There were no other events which require adjustment to, or disclosure, in these financial statements.

Independent auditor’s report

To the shareholders of Barramundi Limited

Our opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of Barramundi Limited (the Company) present

fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2021, its financial

performance and its 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).

What we have audited

The financial statements comprise:

●the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021;

●the statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;

●the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;

●the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

●the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other

explanatory information.

Basis for opinion

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

(NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are

further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our

report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1

International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence

Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards

Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International

Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA

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

Our firm carries out an agreed-upon procedures engagement for the Company in relation to the

performance fee calculation. The provision of this service has not impaired our independence as

auditor of the Company.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in

our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context

of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not

provide a separate opinion on these matters.

PwC
Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation and existence of Australian

listed equity investments

Australian listed equity investments (the

investments) are valued at $185.5 million

and represent 98% of total assets.

Further disclosures on the investments

are included in note 2 to the financial

statements.

This was an area of focus for our audit

and an area where a significant proportion

of audit effort was directed.

As at 30 June 2021, all investments were

in companies that were listed on the ASX

and were actively traded with readily

available, quoted market prices. The

market prices were quoted in Australian

dollars, and were then translated to New

Zealand dollars using the exchange rate

at 30 June 2021.

All investments are held by Trustees

Executors Limited (the Custodian) on

behalf of the Company. Trustees

Executors Limited also provides

administration services for the Company.

Our audit procedures included updating our

understanding of the business processes employed by

the Company for accounting for, and valuing, its

investment portfolio.

We obtained confirmation from the Custodian that the

Company was the recorded owner of all the recorded

investments.

We obtained copies of and assessed Trustees

Executors Limited’s Internal Controls Reports for

Custody, Investment Accounting and Registry services

for the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.

Trustees Executors Limited has confirmed that there

has been no material change to the control

environment in the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 June

2021.

We agreed the price for all investments held at 30

June 2021 and the exchange rate at which they have

been converted from Australian dollars to New

Zealand dollars to independent third-party pricing

sources.

No matters arose from the procedures performed.

Our audit approach

Overview

Materiality Overall materiality: $928,000, which represents approximately 0.5%

of net assets.

We chose net assets as the benchmark because, in our view, the

objective of the Company is to provide investors with a total return on

its assets, taking account of both capital and income returns.

Key audit matters As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being: Valuation

and existence of Australian listed equity investments.

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material

misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made

subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved

making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits,

we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other

matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material

misstatement due to fraud.

PwC
Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, i ndividually or in

aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on

the basis of the financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,

including the overall materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These,

together wit h qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature,

timing and extent of our audit procedures

and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually

and in aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.

How we tailored our audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit i n order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an

opinion on the financial statements of the Company as a whole, taking into account the structure of the

Company, the Company’s investments and the accounting processes and controls.

The Company appointed Fisher Funds Management Limited as the Manager to provide investment

management services and administration services. The Company’s investments are held by the

Custodian, who also provides accounting services.

In completing our audit, we performed relevant audit procedures over the control environment of the

Manager and the Custodian and to support our audit conclusions.

Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our

auditor's report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this

auditor's report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express

any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other

information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the

financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially

misstated.

When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material

misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our

professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements

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

the 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 financial statements that are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

PwC
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’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

Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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) and ISAs 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 financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the

External Reporting Board’s website at:

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditorsn- responsibilities/audit-report-2/

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Who we report to

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

undertaken so that we might state those matters which 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 Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our

audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Philip Taylor.
