support, tailored to the unique needs of each

individual. We provide a diverse range of living

options, including retirement villas, care suites,

palliative care, respite care, and support for young

disabled individuals, offering invaluable assistance

to families and communities alike.

Trust forms the cornerstone of our approach.

Chair’s report.
The last year has been an important one for our

business, as we built upon the work of preceding years

to create a strong foundation for growth.

Notably, we refreshed and strengthened our Board

and leadership team with the appointment of highly

qualified, experienced and passionate individuals. At

Board level, I was pleased to join as Chair of Promisia in

July 2023, with Jill Hatchwell also joining at that time

as an Independent Director and chair of Promisia’s

Risk Assurance and Audit Committee. I would like to

acknowledge and thank Helen Down, who stepped in as

Acting Chair for 12 months until my appointment, for her

time, support and valued contributions to Promisia.

The resignation of Promisia’s previous CEO in June last

year provided the opportunity for the Board to consider

the structure and executive needs of our business.

We appointed Karen Lake as Promisia’s new Group

General Manager in August 2023. Karen has extensive

experience in the aged care, retirement and healthcare

sectors, having worked for NZX listed providers,

Oceania and Ryman Healthcare for a number of years.

She brings a passion for excellence, innovative thinking

and extensive industry knowledge.

The Board also appointed Francisco Rodriguez Ferrere

as the new GM Finance, where he has made significant

improvements to our financial operations. Additionally,

Blesster Saga was appointed to Clinical and Quality

Manager. This newly created role separates clinical and

operational management of our business, with long

standing team member, Virginia Dyall-Kalidas, taking

on the role of Group Operations Manager.

Not only has the leadership team been reinvigorated,

but a number of new roles and appointments have also

been made to the facilities management teams, which

ensures a more specialised focus on those areas that

are important to us – quality care, positive clinical

outcomes, and staff, resident and family satisfaction.

We took the opportunity of new leadership to

revisit our strategy and commercial objectives. We

have reconfirmed our four strategic pathways and

management has set out a strong plan to achieve our

goals, which has been endorsed by the Board.

Increasing strength and performance

The work we have been doing is resulting in improved

resident and employee satisfaction, an enhanced

reputation and growing occupancy.

In particular, we saw positive traction in the second half

of the year with the new leadership team at the helm.

Revenue and profit increased year on year, and

Underlying EBITDAF (which is a key metric for the

company) significantly improved in 2H 2024 and was up

27% on the first half.

“In FY24, Promisia made

excellent progress on the

fundamentals, putting the

business in a strong position

for growth.”

Rhonda Sherriff, Chair

Following the rebuilding of the finance team in Q2
FY24, solid progress has been made to strengthen

Promisia’s financial footing, with a focus on lowering

debt, enhancing cashflow and improving reporting.

Notably, Promisia has successfully extended its banking

facilities with improved terms, enabling the repayment

of all second-tier lending on the Aldwins Road land

acquisitions in 2023 and reduced interest costs.

The valuations for the Group’s four facilities increased

13% overall. Net Tangible Assets per share increased by

37% in the year to 0.126 cents.

More information on financial performance can be

viewed on page 20.

Strategic progress

Stronger business

While the first half of the year was a time of transition as new leadership was recruited, the second six months has been

an intense period of activity. Much of this was carried out behind the scenes, as financial and operating processes and

systems were improved and efficiencies enhanced.

The recent appointment of a Quality Project Manager supports the senior management team to deliver on Promisia’s

strategic goals to enhance clinical and quality standards, raise brand and profile awareness, increase employee skill

and knowledge base, deliver on initiatives to promote village sales and raise overall occupancy levels, and to contribute

to the realisation of financial projections.

The Promisia Roster

Over the past six months, a particular focus has been on

implementing a Promisia Roster, attached to the Primary

Nursing Care Model, into Aldwins House. This is already

showing improved resident and staff satisfaction. Under

this model, nurses and caregivers are assigned to a

particular group of residents, building trust and creating

stronger relationships and improved care outcomes.

Rostering schedules have been aligned to the new

system, resulting in better schedules for staff, increased

efficiency and significant savings.

The call system has also been revamped with investment

into a digital call system that directs calls to smart

devices assigned to the resident’s specific group of care

providers. Hallway enunciators have been silenced and

care staff are only alerted to the calls from their group of

residents and to emergency calls.

9

Maximising occupancy
We have good levels of occupancy across our facilities,

with strong local demand from residents who wish to

remain close to family and in the communities in which

they live. One of our key strengths is the ability to

respond and reconfigure our facilities to meet the needs

of our communities. Many of our beds are dual purpose,

allowing us to quickly adapt to provide for a range of

care needs, from low level to high needs and other

specialist care services.

We invested in increased sales resource in 2023,

resulting in strong sales of the new villas at Ranfurly

Manor, which are now all sold and occupied or

under contract.

Building occupancy at Aldwins House in Christchurch

has also been a focus. Innovative thinking is what we

do best and we recently extended our care offering with

certification for Young Person Disability services for 40

of the 144 beds for both permanent and respite care.

These beds also remain certified for aged residential

care to enable flexibility of admission in accordance with

the need in the community.

The quality innovation members of the senior leadership

team are currently working on other initiatives to

maximise occupancy in all villages.

New Zealand’s Ageing in Place policy has now

been operating for over 20 years, supporting

people to remain living at home instead of

entering residential care.

This means that many of our residents are

older, frailer or requiring higher levels of care

when they come into our facilities. This trend

will continue and we expect increasing levels of

demand for higher level hospital care.

We have an amazing team of carers, who

possess a remarkable blend of compassion,

expertise and dedication. They not only provide

physical assistance but emotional support and

companionship during the most vulnerable

moments, while ensuring dignity and comfort

for their residents. They approach their work

with empathy and sensitivity, and make an

invaluable difference to the lives of our residents

and their loved ones.

10

Diverse revenue streams
Aged care funding remains challenging, with cost

inflation and continuing wage competition for registered

nurses from the public sector. Pay equity with the public

health sector is essential to attract and retain these

vital and qualified members of our team. Without them

and our other dedicated carers, we would be unable to

deliver the high levels of care we believe all older New

Zealanders deserve.

We continue to work closely with the aged care sector

to encourage appropriate funding which will allow older

people to receive quality care where and when they

need it. Although a funding increase was received from

Manatū Hauora Ministry of Health in 2023 to enable pay

parity, a pay increase to public sector nurses shortly

after has subsequently led to yet another wage gap.

We offer a competitive rate to our registered nurse

workforce and find that many of them prefer the culture

and environment of working in one of our facilities.

Given the funding challenges, it is critical that we

continually consider additional or new revenue streams

that reduce our reliance on government funding.

For example, in addition to our standard care and

accommodation offers, we offer premium care suites,

which carry an additional supplement in return for

greater space, amenities and aesthetics.

We also benefit from the sale of occupational rights

agreements for independent living units, additional

services paid for by the resident, and deferred

management fees. The new YPD service is another

example of our strategy to create diverse revenue

streams for our business.

Dementia care – meeting a growing need
We are looking at ways to respond to the national

demand for more specialist dementia care services.

While the Government’s Ageing in Place strategy has

supported older New Zealanders to remain in their

own homes for longer, the demand for dementia care

services is increasing.

New Zealand’s ageing population means more Kiwis

will require specialist dementia care. As Alzheimer’s

New Zealand reports, nearly 70,000 already live with

dementia mate wareware, with that number projected to

reach 170,000 by 2050.

The risk of dementia increases with age, doubling

every five years after 65 (National Institute of Ageing).

Statistics NZ predicts the over-65 population will hit one

million by 2028. Coupled with New Zealand’s average

lifespan of 82 years, this paints a clear picture of the

growing need in the years to come.

Promisia recognises that the shape of dementia care

is changing globally with more consideration being

given to enhancing quality of life, whilst balancing

safety and a person’s right to live a full and satisfying

life with their diagnosis.

We are well placed to consider our care offering in

this field further, with a high level of dementia care

expertise at all levels of the organisation, from senior

management to our invaluable team members who

work alongside our residents on a daily basis.

12

Network expansion
As a group, Promisia has an innovative and

entrepreneurial mindset with an ability to move quickly

and take advantage of emerging opportunities. A focus

on growth alongside confidence in the quality of our

product puts us in an ideal position.

The development at Ranfurly Manor is now complete,

with all new villas sold or under contract. Given the

success of this development, we will continue to

consider opportunities to develop more independent

living options with occupational rights agreements

(ORAs) and management fees paid for by the resident.

We are also shifting to offering assisted living packages

in the independent apartments to maximise sale of

ORAs within the main building at Ranfurly. Residential

care will continue to be offered in these apartments.

We announced three small but important greenfield

sites abutting existing properties just prior to FY23 year

end which offer development potential, and continued

to identify and assess further potential acquisitions

throughout the year.

13

Our team
Every day, our incredible team of carers, nurses and

support staff provide our residents with joy, friendship

and personalised care. Our team is a mix of local and

international and we have a strong, long standing

workforce which helps to create the family environment

that is such an important part of who we are.

We value our people and work hard to provide an

enjoyable and rewarding workplace. The addition of two

new roles to our management team has enhanced our

focus on quality, clinical care and continuous training,

and the planned recruitment of a new Human Resources

Manager will provide further support for our team.

Health and Safety of our team is of paramount

importance and we are doing all we can to protect

both our own people and others who are a part of

our communities.

We continue to invest in training for our

Caregiving staff through Careerforce and the

development of inhouse education to imbue Promisia

values and culture consistently in the practice of all team

members. We have supported International Registered

Nurses through the CAP courses and our Registered

Nurses through internal and external training. Three

of our Facility Managers are enrolled in the Business

Diploma course through Careerforce and there is also

an extensive internal education programme available for

staff. A member of our Leadership Team is also currently

undertaking a Masters of Nursing.

Creating a sustainable business
While a smaller business, we still take sustainability

seriously, whether that be investing in our people,

supporting our communities, or looking after our

environment. This is not just a moral imperative but also

makes good business sense.

Community minded

Our biggest focus is on our people – we believe that

if we invest in and look after our people, they in turn

will deliver excellent care and service to our residents.

Ultimately, this will drive demand for the services and

accommodation we offer, creating a positive cycle

where the success of our business aligns seamlessly

with the fulfilment of our social responsibilities.

Our facilities are an important part of their local

communities and we actively encourage engagement

with both families and friends, and the wider community

alike. At Aldwins House in Christchurch, a close

partnership with the local high school sees students

engaging with residents on a weekly basis. Students are

currently working a business initiative with residents

where they are collaborating to develop artwork for tote

bags, with sharing of sale proceeds. Both residents and

students are benefiting from this relationship.

Environmentally conscious

Promisia is not a climate related reporting entity under

the New Zealand climate reporting regime, however,

environmental care is important to us. We separate

waste and recycling, dispose of chemical waste in line

with protocols, and have initiatives supporting a

circular economy within our facilities, such as Market

Days where residents can swap and sell clothing and

other items.

Our primary source of carbon emissions stems from

electricity consumption, which is exclusively generated

from renewable sources. Our largest waste product is

single use continence products (pads) which are sent

to landfill. There is limited availability of commercially

viable products which reduce the environmental

impact relating to production and disposal, however,

we will continue to assess new products as they come

to market.

When designing and creating new accommodation and

facilities, we will keep sustainability in mind, working

with contractors to enable the reduction of construction

waste where possible, and looking to embed sustainable

elements into our designs, such as solar panels and

grey water recycling.

15

Sector dynamics and Promisia’s outlook
Like many countries around the world, New Zealand has an ageing population, with a growing proportion of people

aged 65 years or older, and increasing life expectancy. Many older people live with a disability and as they age,

demand for aged care services, including residential care, increases. New facilities will need to be built to meet

demand and existing facilities expanded.

Promisia is positioning itself to meet this need with a particular focus on care, while also offering an attractive

independent living environment with support and services for residents.

During FY24, we established a strong foundation for our business. Over the next year, we will continue to strengthen

our business platform, while investing in growth. The work already done this year and the strong focus on occupancy,

quality of care and financial rigour, gives the Board and management confidence in our continued momentum.

We remain committed to building value for our shareholders and expect double digit growth in operating earnings in

FY25 as we deliver on our strategy.

On behalf of the Promisia Board and management, we’d like to thank our shareholders, residents and partners for your

support and belief in our future. We’d also like to thank Promisia’s team for helping us deliver a successful year.

Financial
performance.

The Group reported a FY24 net profit after tax of

$1.6m, an increase of $0.9m year on year. There

was a further fair value increase to properties, not

classed as investment properties, of $3.1m bringing

comprehensive income for the year to $4.8m.

At 31 March 2024, total assets increased by 17.5%

to $84.3m, reflecting the completion of the Ranfurly

Manor Village expansion and subsequent recognition

of villas following the successful sale of newly created

occupational rights agreements. In addition, valuations

for the Group’s four facilities increased 13.4% overall.

Cash and cash equivalents were $0.5m as at

31 March 2024, with debt of $29.2m, a 5.6% reduction

from last year.

As at 31 March 2024, Net Tangible Assets per share

were 0.126 cents, an increase of 37.0% year on year.

Results for the FY24 financial year reflect the

transition to new leadership in Q2 2024, with a

notable improvement in performance in the second

half of the year.

Income for the year increased by 10.3% to $26.3m

(H1: $12.9m, H2: $13.4m). This increase was driven by

increased government-funded bed rates from 1 July

2023, and an increase in deferred management fees

from villa sales.

Revenue is sourced primarily from Government funding

(approximately 61%) with the remainder from private

payment. Promisia is strategically shifting the mix

of revenue to generate a greater share from private

payment for care suites, assisted and independent

living units. During the year, there were 17 new sales

and 13 resales of occupation rights agreements

(ORAs) completed.

Administration expenses increased by $1.0m to $3.7m

(H1: $2.0m, H2: $1.7m), however a large portion of

the increase is considered to be one-off in nature as it

relates to the recruitment of the leadership team and

additional consultant costs during the transition period.

Operating expenses were 7.9% higher, in an

environment of inflationary pressure.

Earnings excluding fair value movements (EBITDAF)

were $3.6m for the year (H1: $1.6m, H2 $2.0m), an

increase of 2.9% on FY23. Underlying EBITDAF, which

excludes non-trading and one-off transactions, was

down 8.5% to $3.8m, reflecting one-off costs incurred

during the leadership transition period.

Notes to the
consolidated

financial statements

for the year ended

31 March 2024.

NOTE 1: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

The consolidated financial statements cover Promisia Healthcare Limited and its

consolidated entities (the “Group”). Promisia Healthcare Limited is a company limited

by shares, incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. Promisia Healthcare Limited is

a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Promisia Healthcare Limited’s principal activities are the ownership and operation of

retirement villages and rest homes for the elderly within New Zealand.

Promisia Healthcare Limited is a Financial Markets Conduct Act reporting entity under

the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The following are the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the

preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements. The accounting

policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

Compliance with IFRS

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with

Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (‘NZ GAAP’). These

consolidated financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting

Standards (IFRS).

Historical Cost Convention

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost

convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for investment properties and

certain classes of property, plant and equipment.

Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain

estimates and judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies. Those

estimates and judgements significant to the financial report are disclosed in Note 2 to

the consolidated financial statements.

27

(b) Going concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,

which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of

assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group has a significant working capital deficit as at 31 March 2024, primarily due to

borrowings which are due for repayment within the next 12 months totalling $24m.

The Group has entered into discussions with its principal lender, BNZ, to secure

additional financing and amend existing credit facilities to provide sufficient liquidity

for its ongoing operations. Management believes that these discussions will result in

a successful outcome, thereby alleviating concerns regarding the Group’s ability to

continue as a going concern.

The Directors are comfortable that based on the historic performance, detailed cash

flow projections, and the support provided by Directors, the Group will be able to meet

its cash flow requirements as they fall due. The Group has reported a net profit before

tax of $3.598m (2023: $0.463m).

It is the continuing opinion of the Board of Directors that there are reasonable

grounds to believe that its operational and financial plans in place are achievable, and

accordingly the Group is able to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as

and when they fall due. Accordingly, use of the going concern assumption remains

appropriate in these circumstances.

(c) Material accounting policy information

The Group adopted

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to NZ IAS 1) from

1 April 2023. Although the amendments did not result in any changes to the accounting

policies themselves, they impact the accounting policy information disclosed in the

consolidated financial statements.

The amendments require the disclosure of ‘material’, rather than ‘significant’,

accounting policies. The amendments also provide guidance on the application of

materiality to disclosure of accounting policies, assisting entities to provide useful,

entity-specific accounting policy information that users need to understand other

information in the consolidated financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in NZ IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting

policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is

immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material

because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the

amounts are immaterial.

Management reviewed the accounting policies and made updates to the information

disclosed in Note 1, Material Accounting Policy Information (2023: Significant

accounting policies) in certain instances in line with the amendments.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

(a) Income tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the assumption that no adverse change

will occur in the income tax legislation and the anticipation that the group will derive

sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with

the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as

management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to

utilise those temporary differences.

(b) Management fee revenue recognition

Management fees are recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis. This requires

management to estimate the period of occupancy for units.

If actual occupancy periods differ significantly from the estimates, village contributions

and exit fees shown in the financial statements will be affected accordingly. However

this is unlikely to cause a material adjustment.

28

(c) Fair value of investment property, freehold land and buildings
The fair value of the investment property, freehold land and buildings is appraised

annually by an independent external valuer. The valuer has provided an assessment

of the amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date

between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper

marketing where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without

compulsion. The valuer has also considered the highest and best use of the asset that is

physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible in its principle market.

Significant judgement is required relating to the assumptions made in order to assess

the carrying value.

NOTE 3: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group is exposed to the following financial risks in respect to the financial

instruments that it held at the end of the reporting period:

(a) Interest rate risk

(b) Credit risk

(c) Liquidity risk

The Board of Directors have overall responsibility for identifying and managing

operational and financial risks.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

- Cash and cash equivalents1182,059

- Receivables1,3411,435

- Borrowings29,15530,872

- Occupancy rights agreements22,01215,459

54,92650,201

29

(a) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings. Interest rate risk

is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as

a result of changes in market interest rates. The Group manages it interest rate risk by

maintaining a mix of variable rate and fixed rate borrowings.

The interest rates applicable to the bank loans are a mixture of a fixed and variable and

are reviewed at maturity of each fixed term loan. There is $9.84m (2023: $13.87m) of

bank debt that is floating interest rate. A 1% increase in interest rates would cost the

Group an additional $0.098m (2023: $0.139m) in interest expenses annually.

Sensitivity

The Group is primarily exposed to interest rate risk.

If interest rates on all borrowing were to increase/decrease by 50 basis points from the

rates prevailing at the reporting date, assuming all other variables remain constant,

then the impact of profit for the year and equity would be as follows:

20242023

$000$000

+ / ‑ 50 basis points

Impact on profit after tax146154

Impact on equity--

(b) Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other

security, at balance date of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of

those assets, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in

consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial

statements.

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or

group of counterparties under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

There is no significant concentration of credit risk as trade debtors are either individual

residents or government agencies.

(i) Cash deposits

Credit risk for cash deposits is managed by holding all cash deposits with major New

Zealand banks.

(ii) Trade receivables

Credit risk for receivables from contracts with customers is managed by transacting

with a large number of customers, undertaking credit checks for all new customers and

setting credit limits for all customers commensurate with their assessed credit risk.

Outstanding receivables are regularly monitored for payment in accordance with credit

terms.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations

associated with financial liabilities.

The Group manages liquidity risk on occupancy advances through the contractual

requirements in the occupancy rightly agreement. Following a termination of the

agreement, the occupancy advance is repaid on receipt of the new occupancy advance

from the incoming resident.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Directors, who have

built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the

Group’s short, medium, and long-term funding.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities,

and reserve borrowing facilities, and by regularly monitoring forecast and actual cash

flows and maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The following table outlines the Group’s remaining contractual maturities for

non-derivative financial instruments. The amounts presented in the table are the

30

undiscounted contractual cash flows of the financial liabilities, allocated to time bands
based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

Occupancy rights agreements figures above have been calculated based on average

occupancy years formulated by the valuer in determining investment property fair

values at 31 March 2024.

The Group renews its facilities annually to ensure an appropriate portion matures on a

regular basis.

NOTE 4: OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group operates a number of rest homes and retirement villages. These facilities all

provide a similar product to a similar customer in the same regulatory environment.

The Group operates in one operating segment being the provision of aged-care in

New Zealand. The chief operating decision maker, the Board of Directors, reviews the

operating results on a regular basis and makes decisions on resource allocation based

on the review of Group results and cash flows as a whole. Therefore, it is appropriate to

report solely on the Group performance.

Village service fees15889

Other revenue297299

25,51823,465

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised in accordance with NZ IFRS 15. Deferred management fees and

rental income are considered leases under NZ IFRS 16, and therefore excluded from the

scope of NZ IFRS 15. None of the Group’s revenue, as defined by NZ IFRS 15, contains

significant financing components.

A contract for care fees is in place with all care residents by means of an admission

agreement. The resident receives the benefit as the care is administered and each

resident incurs a contracted daily care fee set each year by the Government. Rest home

and hospital service fees are recognised at the point in time the services are received.

31

Deferred management fees are for the right to occupation and share in the use of
community facilities and are payable by residents of the Group’s units and apartments

under the terms of their ORA. Deferred management fees are typically payable on of

the ORA up to a maximum percentage of a resident’s occupation license for the right

to share in the and enjoyment of common facilities. The timing of the recognition of

deferred management fees is a critical accounting estimate and judgment. The deferred

management fees are recognised on a straight-line basis over the average expected

occupancy of the relevant accommodation being:

Internal Apartments 3.7 - 4.0 Years (2023: 3.7 - 4.0 Years)

External Villas 6.8 - 7.0 Years (2023: 6.8 - 7.0 Years)

Estimates of expected occupancy are reviewed periodically. Where a change is made,

it is the Group’s policy to recognise the aggregate impact of this change in the period in

which the change is estimate occurs.

The Group has a contractual right to management fees in the first two years of

occupancy. The timing difference in the contractual right to receive the management

fees and the accounting recognition of the revenue over the estimated expected

occupancy gives rise to a liability for revenue in advance. As at 31 March 2024 revenue

received in advance of $2.29m (2023: $1.47m) was recorded, not yet released to the

profit or loss. See Note 16.

Village service fees are charged to residents to recover a portion of the village operating

cost associated with services provided including staff wages, rates, and electricity.

Village services fees are recognised as services are rendered.

Other revenue

Other income includes other services to residents, training income for students, other

rent received and administration income on the settlement of ORAs. This revenue is

recognised as services are provided.

*Deferred Tax Impact on changes to commercial building depreciation rates

A deferred tax liability of $2,538,570 was recognised, this was relating to a change

in commercial building tax depreciation rates in the 2024 year. The Taxation (Annual

Rates for 2023–24, Multinational Tax, and Remedial Matters) Act 2024 included the

removal of commercial building depreciation from the 2024-25 income year onwards.

The removal of depreciation on buildings has resulted in the tax base of those buildings

reducing to zero under NZ IAS 12, while the accounting base remains at its previous

value. A deferred tax liability arises on the tax effect of this amount. The deferred tax

liability and deferred tax expense is recognised in the year ended 31 March 2024 as the

33

law change was enacted on 28 March 2024, even though the law change will not be
effective until 1 April 2024.

The deferred tax liability will not impact future cash outflows, and will only affect

deferred tax expense when the deferred tax liability is derecognised in the future

periods.

Deferred tax on investment property

Deferred tax on investment property is assessed on the basis that the asset value will be

realised through use (“Held for Use”).

The Group’s ORAs compromise two distinct cash flows, being a ORA deposit upon

entering the unit and the refund of this deposit, less deferred management fee, on

exit. The Group considers it appropriate to recognise and measure the tax base and

associated deferred tax based on the contractual entitlements over the ORA periods as

this best represents the Group’s liabilities to residents as at the reporting date.

Trade and other receivables

Consistent with both the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets

and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the assets, trade and other receivables

are measured at amortised cost less an allowance for expected credit losses.

Loss allowances relate solely to expected credit losses arising from contracts with

customers. The amount of credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect

changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

An expected credit loss is determined based in historic credit loss rates, adjusted for

other current observable data that may materially impact the Group’s future credit risk,

including customer specific factors, current conditions and forecast of future economic

conditions.

Trade and other receivables arise from the Group’s transactions with its customers. The

amounts are unsecured and are normally settled within 30 days.

Debtors are non-interest bearing, although the Group has the right to change interest

on overdue settlements of occupancy advances or overdue care fees. Trade receivables

principally compromise amounts due for care fees.

Property

Freehold land and buildings are measured at revalued amounts, being the fair value

at the date of the revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any

accumulated impairment losses. The carrying amount at which both freehold land and

buildings would have been carried had the assets been measured under historical costs

is $15.29m (2023: $15.79m).

The carrying value of freehold land and buildings is the fair value as determined by an

independent valuation report prepared by registered valuers CBRE Ltd as at 31 March

2024 using a combination of:

• the capitalisation of proforma net cash flow profit/EBITDAR; and

• direct comparison approach based on value per bed.

The major assumptions used are as follows:

• Capitalisation rates: 12.5% to 13.25% (2023: 12.0% to 12.5%)

• Average occupancy: 90.0% to 95.6% (2023: 95.0% to 96.0%)

Plant and equipment is measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any

accumulated impairment losses.

The carrying value of investment property is the fair value as determined by an
independent valuation report prepared by registered valuers CBRE Ltd as at 31 March

2024. This report combines discounted future cash flows and occupancy advances

received from residents for retirement villages units, for which there is a licence to

occupy.

Key assumptions

The fair values were based on a discounted cash flow model applied to expected

future cash flows generated by the investment properties and by a direct comparison

approach based on value per bed.

The major assumptions used are as follows:

Growth rates 2.73% to 3.86% (2023: 1.96% to 2.39%)

Target IRR 16.0% to 18.0% (2023: 16.5% to 18.0%)

Average occupancy 75.7% to 86.4% (2023: 86.5% to 89.5%)

Discounted cash flow period 20 years (2023: 20 years)

Capitalisation rates 12.0% to 13.5% (2023: 12.0% to 13.0%)

Sensitivity

A 0.5 percent decrease in the capitalisation rate would result in a $0.48 million higher

fair value measurement (2023: $0.15 million). Conversely, a 0.5 percent increase in the

capitalisation rate would result in a $0.45 million lower fair value measurement (2023:

$0.14 million).

Other inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Group’s investment property

portfolio include the average age of residents and the occupancy period. A significant

increase in the average age of entry of residents or the long-term nominal house-price

inflation rate would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement. Conversely,

a significant decrease in the average age of entry of residents or the long-term nominal

house-price inflation rate would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

Security

Residents make interest-free advances (occupancy advances) to the retirement villages

in exchange for the right to occupy retirement village units, refer Note 17. Under the

terms of the occupancy agreement, the resident receives a first mortgage held over the

individual title by the statutory supervisor.

A reconciliation summary between the valuation amounts and the amount recognised

on the Statement of Financial Position as investment property is as follows:

NOTE 14: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
(a) Fair Value Hierarchy

The following table provides the fair value classification of those assets and liabilities

held by the group that are measured either on a recurring or non-recurring basis at

fair value or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and any

accumulated impairment losses.

Total non financial assets --65,86765,867

Investment properties are not depreciated and are at fair value. Freehold land and

buildings are measured at revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of the

revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated

impairment losses. As the fair value of investment property, freehold land and buildings

are determined using inputs that are unobservable, the Group has categorised

investment property, freehold land and buildings as Level 3 under the fair value

hierarchy in line with NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements.

Occupancy rights agreements confer on residents the right of occupancy of the

retirement village for life, or until the resident terminates the agreement. These are

considered as leases under NZ IFRS 16.

Occupancy advances are amounts paid to the Group by a resident on being issued the

right to occupy one of the Group’s units or services apartments under an occupation

right agreement (“ORA”). The ORA confers a right of occupancy until such time is

terminated.

Upon signing of an ORA the resident has a cooling off period. Revenue and the

corresponding receivable is not recognised until the end of the cooling off period.

Occupancy advances are non-interest bearing and are repayable to the exiting resident,

net of any amount owning to the Group, whereby a new ORA for the unit or services

apartment may then be issued to an incoming resident.

Promisia Healthcare Limited

Independent auditor’s report to the Shareholders


Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Promisia Healthcare Limited and its subsidiaries

(the Group ), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2024, 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 for the year ended 31 March 2024, including material accounting policy information.


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the

consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2024, and of 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).

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 International Code of 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’

International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards)

(IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled 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 we have no relationship with, or interests in, Promisia Healthcare

Limited or any of its subsidiaries.

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 period. 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.





Investment Properties

Area of focus (Refer also to Note 13) How our audit addressed it

The Group owns significant Investment

Property which has been recorded at fair

value at 31 March 2024 of $ 61m. The net

revaluation gain recognised in the

consolidated statement of comprehensive

income is $3.6m .

The valuation of the Group’s retirement

village portfolio is inherently subjective

and is based on unobservable inputs.

The property valuations were performed

by an independent third party and

registered valuer, CBRE Limited. The

valuer is reputable, with extensive

experience in the sector in which the

Group operates.

A small variation of certain assumptions

could result in a material adjustment to

the carrying values which is why we have

given specific audit focus and attention to

this area.

Our audit procedures included:

- We reviewed the independent valuer’s reports and

tested their calculations to ensure that the valuation

methodology was in compliance with relevant

accounting standards

- We held separate discussions with management to

gain an understanding of the assumptions applied and

estimates used

- We engaged an independent third-party expert to

review the valuation methodologies and the key

assumptions

- We completed a benchmark analysis on other

valuations reported in the sector the Group operates

- We assessed the valuer’s qualifications, expertise and

their objectivity, and we found no evidence to suggest

that was impaired

- We e nsured appropriate disclosure has been included

in the consolidated financial statements

Property, Plant and Equipment – Land and Buildings at fair value

Area of focus (Refer also to Note 12) How our audit addressed it

The Group owns significant Land and

Buildings which is recorded at fair value at

the date of revaluation less any

subsequent accumulated depreciation

and impairment losses. The net book

value of the Land and Buildings as

reflected in note 12 is $ 20.1m. The

revaluation gain recognised in the

consolidated statement of comprehensive

income is $3.1m .

The valuation of the Group’s Land and

Buildings is inherently subjective and is

based on unobservable inputs. The

property valuations were performed by an

independent third party and registered

valuer, CBRE Limited. The valuer is

reputable, with extensive experience in

the sector in which the Group operates.

A small variation of certain assumptions

could result in a material adjustment to

the carrying values which is why we have

given specific audit focus and attention to

this area.

Our audit procedures included:

- We reviewed the independent valuer’s reports and

tested their calculations to ensure that the valuation

methodology was in compliance with relevant

accounting standards

- We held separate discussions with management to

gain an understanding of the assumptions applied and

estimates used

- We engaged an independent third-party expert to

review the valuation methodologies and the key

assumptions

- We completed a benchmark analysis on other

valuations reported in the sector the Group operates

- We assessed the valuer’s qualifications, expertise and

their objectivity, and we found no evidence to suggest

that was impaired

- We e nsured appropriate disclosure has been included

in the consolidated financial statements

47





Going concern

Area of focus (Refer also to Note 1 (b) ) How our audit addressed it

The Group has negative working capital

as at 31 March 2024 of $24.2m. Current

liabilities exceed current assets, mainly

due to borrowing facilities of $17.4m with

BNZ and $6.5m with Senior Trust

Retirement Village Income Generator

Limited being due for repayment within

the next 12 months. The Group has

entered into discussions with its principal

lender, BNZ, to secure additional

financing and amend existing credit

facilities to provide sufficient liquidity for

its ongoing operations.

The existence of these events and

conditions requires us to consider

whether there is a material uncertainty

regarding the entity’s ability to continue as

a going concern.

Our audit procedures included:

- We have assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of

management’s plans to obtain extended borrowings.

- We held separate discussions with management to

gain an understanding of management plans.

- We evaluate d the appropriateness of management’s

use of the going concern basis of accounting in the

preparation of the financial report and whether a

material uncertainty exists about the entity's ability to

continue as a going concern.

- We e nsured appropriate disclosure has been included

in the consolidated financial statements to comply with

accounting standards.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and

Auditor’s Report Thereon

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

included in the Annual Report on pages 2 to 21 and pages 49 to 67, 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 not 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.

Directors’ Responsibilities

The directors are responsible on behalf of the entity for the preparation of consolidated financial statements

that give a true and fair view in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the

preparation of 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 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 Consolid ated 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.


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

External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:

This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.


The engagement director on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Richard Dey.

Restriction on Distribution and Use

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

so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters which we are required to state to them

in 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.

Corporate
governance.

Strong governance is fundamental to the

performance of Promisia Healthcare Limited and

Promisia’s Board is ultimately responsible for

ensuring that Promisia and its subsidiaries

maintain high ethical standards and corporate

governance practices.

Statement of compliance

Promisia is committed to enhancing investor confidence through good corporate

governance practice and accountability in accordance with the Promisia Group

Corporate Governance Code. This corporate governance statement provides an

overview of Promisia’s governance framework and discloses Promisia’s practices in

relation to the recommendations contained in the NZX Corporate Governance Code

(1 April 2023) (NZX Code). The information contained in this corporate governance

statement has been prepared in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 3.8.1(a).

The Board considers that for the 12 months ended 31 March 2024 (FY24), Promisia’s

corporate governance practices and policies have been appropriately aligned with the

NZX Code. Any exceptions are identified at the end of this governance report.

Key governance policies including Committee charters and the Code of Conduct are

provided on the Company website: www.promisia.co.nz/investor-centre/#governance-

&-policies

PRINCIPLE 1: ETHICAL STANDARDS

“Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and

hold management accountable for these standards being followed throughout the

organisation.”

1.1 Code of Conduct

Promisia maintains high standards of ethical behaviour by which the Directors,

employees, contractors for personal services and advisers of Promisia are expected to

conduct themselves. These standards are described in Promisia’s Code of Conduct,

attached as Appendix B in Promisia’s Corporate Governance Code.

At this point in time, Promisia does not have a formal training schedule. New and

existing employees are encouraged to read and review the policies outlined in the Code

of Conduct and available on the Company website.

General principles within the Code of Conduct and Group Corporate Governance Code

include (but are not limited to) requiring all Directors and employees to:

49

• act honestly and with personal integrity in all actions;
• in the case of Directors, give proper attention to the matters before them and

exercise their powers and duties with a due degree of care and diligence;

• not make improper use of information acquired as a Director or employee, or

of assets or resources of Promisia; and

• comply with Promisia’s internal policies at all times.

Whistleblower Policy

Promisia encourages employees to speak out if they have concerns that Promisia’s

policies have been breached, including any breach of ethics. The avenues for doing so

are detailed in the Protected Disclosures (Whistleblowers) Policy.

1.2 Securities Trading Policy

All Directors and employees including secondees, contractors and consultants of

Promisia and its subsidiaries are subject to Promisia’s Securities Trading Policy,

which outlines the prohibition on dealing in Promisia securities while holding inside

information. Promisia’s Directors and employees must abide by this policy whenever

they deal directly or indirectly in Promisia securities.

In particular the policy provides:

• Directors and employees are prohibited from trading in Promisia securities

during “blackout periods” unless an exemption is provided by the Board.

These blackout periods run from 1 October until the date Promisia’s half

year results are announced and from 1 April until the date Promisia’s full year

results are announced. Additional blackout periods may be implemented at

the Board’s discretion.

• Directors and employees may trade in Promisia securities outside of a

blackout period so long as they are not in possession of material information.

• Restricted Persons (being Directors and certain employees) may trade

in Promisia securities only after notifying the Chair of the Board of their

intention to trade in Promisia securities, confirming they are not in

possession of material information and that there is no known reason to

prohibit trading.

There have been no dealings in Promisia’s securities other than as disclosed in Note 19.

Details of matters entered into the Interests Register by individual Directors during

FY24 are outlined on pages 62 and 63 of this report.

PRINCIPLE 2: BOARD COMPOSITION & PERFORMANCE

“To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills,

knowledge, experience and perspectives.”

2.1 Board Roles and Responsibilities

Promisia’s Corporate Governance Code sets out the roles and responsibilities of the

Board and the Board’s relationship with management. The main functions of the

Board, committees of the Board, and senior management positions in the direction

and management of Promisia are described in Promisia’s Group Corporate Governance

Code. This details the roles and responsibilities of the Board, such as:

• reviewing and approving Promisia’s strategic, business and financial plans

and monitoring and overseeing Promisia’s performance and results against

these plans to evaluate management’s effectiveness;

• ensuring Promisia has adequate management to achieve its objectives,

including through selecting, supporting, setting delegated authorities for

and, if necessary, replacing senior management;

• reviewing and approving material transactions, investment and divestment

decisions and capital expenditure decisions that the Board has determined

require Board approval prior to implementation;

• ensuring ethical behaviour of Promisia, the Board, management and

employees including compliance with Promisia’s constitution, NZX Listing

Rules and regulations and relevant laws, auditing and accounting principles;

• fostering an appropriate corporate culture, including by acting in such a

way that Board meetings and discussions promote focused debate in a

supportive team atmosphere; and

• overseeing the financial and operational controls of the business including

risk management policies and strategies.

50

2.2 Nomination and appointment process
The nomination process for new Director appointments is the responsibility of the

Board as a whole. The Board may engage consultants to assist in the identification,

recruitment, and appointment of suitable candidates.

The Board asks for Director nominations each year prior to the Annual Shareholders’

Meeting in accordance with the constitution of Promisia and the NZX Listing Rules.

In accordance with the NZX Listing Rules, Directors will retire and may stand for re-

election by shareholders at least every three years. A Director appointed since the

previous Annual Meeting holds office only until the next Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

but is eligible for re-election at that meeting.

Directors’ selection is based on the value they bring to the Board table including

their skills, commercial experience, strategic thinking and general business acumen.

The composition of the Board is reviewed regularly to ensure the Board maintains

an appropriate balance of skills, experience and expertise. The Board has developed

a skills matrix and takes into account a number of factors including qualifications,

experience and skills.

In 2022, the Board engaged external advice to identify the optimum mix of skills,

experience and independence required for executing the Company’s growth strategy

and operating in the New Zealand aged care sector. This process was completed in

2023 and identified that the collective Board skillset would be strengthened with more

experience and skills in the areas of Finance and Audit, Board leadership, Governance

and Clinical Governance. In line with this, Jill Hatchwell and Rhonda Sherriff were

appointed as Independent Directors to the Board in FY24 with Rhonda Sherriff

becoming Chair of the Board and Jill Hatchwell becoming Chair of the Risk Assurance

and Audit Committee.

The review also identified a need to strengthen governance in respect of Te Tiriti o

Waitangi to ensure that Promisia’s delivery of care for Māori residents can achieve

optimal health outcomes, cultural safety and Māori health equity. To help address this,

each Director has completed Te Tiriti o Waitangi training, Te Tiriti is a standing Board

agenda item and Promisia has adopted a Strategic Direction for Māori Health which is

being implemented across all Promisia aged care facilities.

The Board believes the current Directors offer valuable skill sets and experience to

Promisia and that each Director has the necessary time available to devote to the

position. The current Board will have held office for 12 months in September 2024 and,

following that time, the Board intends to develop a new skills matrix, self-evaluate the

Board against that matrix and report that matrix in its FY25 Annual Report.

2.3 Letters of Appointment

All Directors have entered into written agreements with Promisia establishing the terms

of their appointment including:

• a description of their role as Director;

• the expected time commitment to their role;

• remuneration and other entitlements; and

• indemnity and insurance arrangements.

Newly elected Directors are expected to familiarise themselves with their obligations

under the constitution, Board Charter and the NZX Listing Rules.

2.4 Director Details

As at 31 March 2024, the Board comprised of four Directors:

Rhonda Sherriff Independent Board ChairAppointed 13 July 2023

Thomas Brankin Non-independent Executive DirectorAppointed 7 May 2013

Craig PercyIndependent DirectorAppointed 19 August

2022

Jill HatchwellIndependent DirectorAppointed 28 August

2023

The details of each Director along with their experience, length of service,

independence and ownership interests and attendance at Board meetings are included

in this Annual Report. Director profiles are also available to view on Promisia’s website

at https://www.promisia.co.nz/investor-centre/#governance-&-policies.

51

The Board has regard to the NZX Listing Rules in any determination of Director
independence. In determining the independent status of Rhonda Sherriff, Craig Percy

and Jill Hatchwell, the Board assessed whether the Directors had any disqualifying

relationship or interests, including relationships or interests of the kind listed in Table

2.4 of the NZX Code and whether any of the Directors held an executive role in Promisia

within the last three years prior to their appointment.

The Board has determined that Thomas Brankin is a non-independent Director.

Thomas Brankin has an interest in approximately 53% of the shares in Promisia

Healthcare Limited. He also holds an Executive role within the Company, which is

described further under Principle 5 (Remuneration).

Directors are required to notify the Company of any interests they have that could

impact an assessment of their independence or their ability to act in the best interests

of Promisia. The Company has processes in place to manage any conflicts of interest

with Directors.

Interests Register

Directors are required to notify Promisia of any interests they have that could impact an

assessment of their independence or their ability to act in the best interests of Promisia.

Promisia has processes in place to manage any conflicts of interest with Directors who

are interested in a matter. These are detailed in Promisia’s Corporate Governance Code.

2.5 Diversity

Promisia is committed to diversity in its employment practices and across all aspects

of the business. For Promisia, diversity includes but is not limited to characteristics

such as cultural background and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age,

differences in physical abilities, languages and education.

Promisia’s approach to diversity is outlined in the Diversity and Inclusion Policy publicly

available on its website, which sets out how Promisia will meet its commitment to

creating a diverse workforce and inclusive workplace environment.

For the 12 months ended 31 March 2024, the Board is comfortable that Promisia’s

employment practices and HR processes and practices were in line with the intent of its

Diversity and Inclusion Policy.

As at 31 March 2024, females represented 50% of Directors and senior managers of

Promisia. This is a 25% increase on the percentage of female Directors and senior

managers of Promisia in the last reporting period (FY23: 25%). Promisia has 312

employees of which 18% are male and 82% are female. The following table outlines the

gender composition of Directors and senior managers as at 31 March 2024:

As at 31 MarchFY24 MaleFY24 FemaleFY23 MaleFY23 Female

2.6 Director Training and Performance

Promisia 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. The Board also facilitates regular visits to Promisia’s facilities,

meetings with senior management and engagement with Promisia’s external advisers

to ensure Directors are involved in and understand the needs of Promisia’s business.

Promisia continues to invest in ensuring its Board has the optimum mix of skills,

experience and independence required for executing Promisia’s growth strategy.

52

2.7 Board evaluation
The Chair of the Board regularly engages with individual Directors to evaluate

and discuss their performance and professional development. The most recent

external evaluation of Board performance and governance was carried out in

2023. Recommendations have been actioned to further improve Promisia’s board

performance.

2.8 and 2.9 Director Independence

The majority of Promisia’s Directors are independent. As at 31 March 2024, the Board

comprised of three Independent Directors, and one non-independent executive

Director, Tom Brankin. Promisia’s Chair, Rhonda Sherriff, is an Independent Director.

2.10 Separation of Chair and Senior Management

The Board supports a separation of the roles of Chair from senior management.

PRINCIPLE 3: BOARD COMMITTEES

“The Board should use Committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key

areas, while still retaining Board responsibility.”

The Board has two standing committees, being the Risk Assurance and Audit

Committee and the Remuneration Committee (established in FY24). Each committee

operates under a charter addressing purpose, constitution and membership, authority,

reporting procedures and evaluation of the committee. The committees enhance the

effectiveness of the Board through closer examination of issues and more efficient

decision making, however, the Board retains ultimate responsibility for the functions of

its committees, its members and the chair, and determines their responsibilities. The

committee chair has the responsibility of reporting committee recommendations to the

Board.

The Board regularly reviews the charters of each Board committee, the committees’

performance against those charters and membership of each committee.

The Board believes that committee charters, committee membership and roles of

committee members comply with the recommendations in the NZX Code.

The Board meets as often as it deems appropriate including sessions to consider the

strategic direction of Promisia and forward-looking business plans. Video and/or phone

conferences are also used as required.

The table below sets out Director attendance at Board and Committee meetings during

FY24.

3.1 Risk Assurance and Audit Committee
The Board has established a Risk Assurance and Audit Committee to act as a delegate

of the Board on financial reporting, internal control and risk management issues. The

Risk Assurance and Audit Committee is responsible for:

• assisting the Board in carrying out its responsibilities concerning accounting

practices, policies and controls relative to the Company’s financial position.

• making appropriate enquiries into any audit of Promisia’s financial

statements, including providing the Board with additional assurance about

the quality and reliability of any financial information issued publicly by

Promisia from time to time;

• reviewing the operation and effectiveness of Promisia’s internal controls and

risk management practices in consultation with senior management (see

Principle 6 (Risk Management) below);

• providing an avenue of communication between auditors and Directors,

particularly in relation to financial reporting and risk management matters;

and

• otherwise maintaining Promisia’s relationship with external auditors (see

Principle 7 (Auditors) below.

The Committee operates under the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee, which is

published on the Company’s website, and is comprised of non-executive Directors,

being Jill Hatchwell (Chair), Craig Percy and Rhonda Sherriff. Jill Hatchwell is an

independent Director and is not the chair of the Board.

The Board has appointed the members of the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee

due to their accounting, financial and industry sector knowledge. Jill Hatchwell, as

committee chair, has extensive financial and governance experience in both public and

private companies and is, or has been, a member of audit and risk subcommittees for

numerous entities. Craig Percy has substantial practical knowledge and experience with

managing the financial management of aged care facilities and his expertise has been

very useful in his role in the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee.

Rhonda Sherriff has worked in the aged care sector for over 30 years in governance,

senior leadership, clinical, quality and operational management roles with acute

knowledge of the risks associated with operating in the aged care sector.

3.2 Meeting attendance by non‑committee members

Directors who are not members of the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee are able to

attend Risk Assurance and Audit Committee meetings as they wish. Employees may only

attend those meetings at the invitation of the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee.

Directors who are not members of the Remuneration Committee are able to attend

Remuneration Committee meetings as they wish. However, an executive Director may not

attend or participate in deliberations relating to their own remuneration. Management can

only attend Remuneration Committee meetings at the invitation of the Committee.

3.3 Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee was established in FY24 to assist the Board in evaluating

the performance of the senior executives of the Company, setting the remuneration

packages for senior executives, and recommending to the Board the remuneration of

the senior executives and Non-executive Directors.

The Committee also assists the Board with governance matters, including ensuring

appropriate Board performance and composition and in appointing Directors.

The Committee operates under the Remuneration Committee Charter, which is

published on the Company’s website, and is comprised of non-executive Directors,

Craig Percy (chair), Rhonda Sherriff and Jill Hatchwell.

3.4 Nomination Committee

Due to the Company’s size, Promisia does not have a standalone nomination

committee, however as advised under Principle 2.2 above, the nomination process for

new Director appointments is the responsibility of the Board as a whole. The Directors’

selection is based on the value they bring to the Board table including their skills,

knowledge and experience to contribute to effective direction of Promisia, whether they

54

can exercise an informed judgement on matters which come to the Board and whether
they are free of any business or other relationship that may interfere with the exercise of

that judgement. The composition of the Board is reviewed regularly to ensure the Board

maintains an appropriate balance of skills, experience and expertise.

The Board evaluates all nominations of Directors, and consider whether they would be

independent, and may recommend candidates to Shareholders.

3.5 Other Committees

The Board may establish other committees as required.

3.6 Takeover Protocols

In the case of a takeover offer, Promisia will form an Independent Takeover Committee

to oversee a response to the offer and engage expert legal and financial advisors to

provide advice and ensure compliance with the Takeovers Code.

PRINCIPLE 4: REPORTING & DISCLOSURE

“The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the

timeliness and balance of corporate disclosures.”

4.1 Continuous Disclosure

The Board focuses on providing accurate, adequate and timely information both to its

shareholders and to the market generally. This enables all investors to make informed

decisions about Promisia. All significant announcements made to NZX, and reports

issued, are posted on Promisia’s website.

Promisia has procedures in place to ensure that it complies with its continuous

disclosure requirements under the NZX Listing Rules so that:

• All investors have equal and timely access to material information

concerning Promisia, including its financial situation, performance,

ownership and governance.

• Company announcements are factual and presented in a clear and balanced

form.

• Accountability for compliance with disclosure obligations is with the Chair,

Senior Management and the Company Secretary.

• Significant market announcements, including the preliminary announcement

of the half year and full year results, the accounts for those periods and any

advice of a change in earnings forecast are approved by the Board.

Promisia’s Continuous Disclosure Policy governs the responsibilities and procedures for

releasing material information to the market.

4.2 Key Governance Documents

Copies of the key governance documents, including the Continuous Disclosure

Policy, Code of Conduct, Securities Trading Policy and Board and Committee

Charters are available on Promisia’s website at https://www.promisia.co.nz/investor-

centre/#governance-&-policies.

4.3 Financial Reporting

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair

view of the financial position of Promisia 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 Risk Assurance and Audit Committee oversees the quality and integrity of external

financial reporting, including the accuracy, completeness, balance and timeliness

of financial statements. It reviews Promisia’s full and half year financial statements

and makes recommendations to the Board concerning accounting policies, areas

of judgement, compliance with accounting standards, stock exchange and legal

requirements, and the results of the external audit.

All matters required to be addressed, and for which the Committee has responsibility,

were addressed during the reporting period.

55

For the 12 months ended 31 March 2024, the Directors believe that proper accounting
records have been kept which enable, with reasonable accuracy, the determination

of the financial position of Promisia and facilitate compliance with the Companies Act

1993 and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. Promisia’s full and half year financial

statements are available on Promisia’s website.

4.4 Non‑financial Reporting

Promisia 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. The Board encourages diversity and will not knowingly participate in

business situations where Promisia could be complicit in human rights and labour

standard abuses.

Promisia discusses its non-financial objectives and its progress against these

objectives in the Chair and senior management’s commentary in shareholder reports,

and at other investor events during the year including investor presentations and the

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

Given Promisia’s size, the Board has elected not to adopt a formal environmental, social

and governance framework. The Company remains aware of changes to non-financial

reporting standards, particularly the introduction of the climate-related disclosures

(CRD) regime. Promisia’s market capitalisation is below the threshold to be deemed a

Climate Related Entity and therefore it is not required to report against the CRD regime.

PRINCIPLE 5: REMUNERATION

“The remuneration of Directors and executives should be transparent, fair and

reasonable.”

5.1 Remuneration of Directors

Shareholders fix the total remuneration available for Directors. Approval is sought for

any increase in the pool available to pay Directors’ fees, and any recommendations

to shareholders regarding Director remuneration are provided for approval in a

transparent manner. The current Director fee pool was approved by shareholders in

2020. The Board obtained legal advice in FY23 to ensure Director remuneration was

benchmarked appropriately against Directors fees for comparable listed companies and

companies operating in similar sectors to Promisia.

The Directors fees were reallocated between the Directors upon completion of the

review, effective on and from 1 October 2022. Promisia believe the fees are set at a fair

market rate as a result.

The amount payable currently to each non-executive Director is $45,000 per annum

(other than the Chair). The Chair is paid $75,000 per annum. Additional fees may be

paid to Directors for work undertaken outside their Director’s duties, as approved by the

Board.

Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for cost directly associated with carrying out

their duties, including travel costs. Board policy is that no sum is paid to a Director upon

retirement or cessation of office.

Details of Director remuneration in FY24 is detailed below.

See commentary below.

56

Fees for Additional Services
Thomas Brankin was paid $120,000 for his executive services to Promisia during FY24.

These services included various due diligence investigations on potential acquisitions,

work on negotiating and documenting the conditional acquisition of Golden View

Lifestyle Village and Ripponburn Lifestyle Village (announced subsequent to balance

date) and investigating other development initiatives at Promisia’s existing facilities.

Promisia believe the fees paid as above reflect a fair market rate for the services

provided to Promisia.

Disclosure under Rule 5.2.2(e)

The Board continues to invest a significant amount of time into identifying opportunities

for future growth. This includes researching various sites and facilities, meeting with

potential partners and undertaking due diligence on promising opportunities.

To assist in the identification of further opportunities, Promisia entered into an

agreement to provide services (Agreement) with Design Care Group Limited under

which Thomas Brankin is to provide executive and strategic services to Promisia

in order to grow its operations and property holdings in the aged care sector. The

Agreement commenced on 1 April 2023 and continues until terminated by either party

on one month prior notice. Under the Agreement:

• Thomas Brankin is paid a monthly fee of $10,000 plus GST. This payment

replaced Director fees previously paid to Thomas Brankin.

• A transaction fee is to be paid upon Promisia acquiring or disposing of any

aged care business or real property as a result of Mr Brankin’s services.

The transaction fee will be the lesser of $75,000 plus GST and 1% of the

aggregate purchase price paid or payable (or in the case of a disposal,

received or to be received) by Promisia in respect of the transaction (plus

GST).

Promisia relied on the exception under Rule 5.2.2(e) of the NZX Listing Rules to enter

into the Agreement.

5.2 Remuneration of Executives

Executive remuneration consists of a salary (including KiwiSaver contributions from

Promisia) with the ability to participate in Promisia’s key personnel restricted share unit

scheme (RSU Scheme).

The Remuneration Committee is developing a Remuneration Policy outlining the

processes and framework for remuneration of senior management and employees,

including the relative weightings of remuneration components and performance

criteria.

The review and approval of Executive remuneration is the responsibility of the Board.

The Board believes that Executive remuneration is currently fair to shareholders

of Promisia and the Company, and reflects the performance requirements and

expectations of the role.

RSU Scheme

In August 2023, Promisia implemented the RSU Scheme that replaced Promisia’s

previous unpaid share scheme from 26 April 2022. The RSU Scheme is a long term

incentive scheme established with a core purpose of retaining senior management.

The restricted share units (RSUs) offers under the RSU Scheme are a separate class

of equity securities to ordinary shares and are not quoted on the NZX Main Board until

the RSUs vest and convert into ordinary shares in Promisia. The shares issued upon

conversion of the RSUs are issued on the same terms and rank equally in all respects

with Promisia’s shares quoted on the NZX. Vesting period are typically up to three years

in length in total.

The RSUs are issued directly to the senior executives under terms and conditions

outlined in the RSU Scheme rules and an individualised letter of invitation. The RSUs

will vest according to an individualised vesting timetable. If the senior executive ceases

to be employed by Promisia, any unvested RSUs automatically lapse and are cancelled

from the date the senior executive ceases employment.

Stuart Bilbrough resigned as CEO on 30 June 2023.

When the former CEO of Promisia resigned during FY24, the Board then disestablished

the CEO role and created a new Group General Manager role that, while being akin to

the CEO role, has a key focus on the delivery of care services across the Group. Karen

Lake was appointed to that role in August 2023 bringing extensive experience in senior

leadership, clinical, quality and operational management roles in the aged care sector.

After disestablishing the CEO role, the Board also established the senior management

role of General Manager – Finance. Previously the CEO role had included direct

responsibility for the financial management of Promisia. Francisco Rodriguez Ferrere

was appointed to this new Finance role in October 2023. He has a chartered accounting

background and extensive experience in financial management roles in New Zealand

and overseas.

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.”

6.1 Risk Management Framework

Promisia is committed to managing risks proactively. The Risk Assurance and Audit

Committee assists the Board in carrying out its risk management responsibilities by

providing additional oversight regarding Promisia’s risk management framework and

monitoring compliance with that framework.

The Board delegates day to day management of the risk management framework

to senior management. 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 risks are set out on pages 29 to 31 of the financial statements.

Non-financial risks have been summarised as:

Government fundingThe facilities receive residential care subsidy funding from

Te Whatu Ora which may be subject to change. Any loss in

aged care facility funding will have a material adverse effect

on financial performance.

Changes to legislationAged care providers need to meet standards set by the

Health and Disability Services Standards and all facilities

that offer occupation right agreements need to comply

with the Retirement Villages Act 2003. Significant changes

to certification standards and requirements of retirement

village operators may create additional obligations

and costs on aged care operators. Any such additional

obligations and cost may have a material adverse effect on

financial performance.

Labour availability,

cost and turnover

Aged care facilities rely on the staffing of care and non-care

positions. These positions are paid at the lower end of pay

scales, primarily due to underfunding by Te Whatu Ora.

Labour availability and cost makes attracting staff to the

aged care sector difficult.

Infection controlProcesses and procedures to manage the risks of viruses

such as norovirus and Covid-19 to both staff and residents

have been developed and implemented successfully. The

company will use its proven infection control policies and

practices, amended as required, to manage any new viral

outbreaks.

58

OccupancyTo generate revenue and cover its costs, Promisia must
maintain certain levels of occupancy at its facilities. Any

significant drop in occupancy will have a financial impact on

Promisia’s earnings.

Property MarketA downturn in the national or regional property market

could impact the demand for and Promisia’s ability to sell or

re-sell units and, to a lesser extent, care suites, as well as

the value that can be achieved on the sale or resale of a unit

or care suite and the timeframe to complete such sales. As

Promisia’s village units and care suite portfolio increases

in size, a sustained downturn in the national or regional

property market could have a material adverse effect on

financial performance.

Property DevelopmentPromisia’s aged care facilities have opportunities to expand

and/or be altered to offer the type of accommodation or

care that meets the demands of each facility’s local market.

In addition Promisia is routinely investigating potential

acquisitions and is attracted to acquisitions that present

development opportunities. Promisia must manage the

risks associated with undertaking such developments (such

as construction and financing risks) when instigating and

implementing these development opportunities.

The Board is satisfied that Promisia has in place a risk management process to identify,

manage effectively and monitor Promisia’s principal risks. Promisia maintains insurance

policies that it considers adequate to meet its insurable risks.

6.2 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. Promisia’s health & safety risks

are monitored on a daily basis and any issue that is deemed a moderate or high risk is

documented and provided to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. This includes

a clear directive action plan to resolve. The Board is responsible for ensuring that the

systems used to identify and manage health and safety risks are fit for purpose, being

implemented effectively, reviewed regularly, and improved continuously.

Health and Safety reports, including incident reports, for all business units are included

in the compliance section of Board papers. There were no incidents during FY24 that

were notifiable to WorkSafe.

PRINCIPLE 7: AUDITORS

“The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.”

7.1 External Auditors

The Risk Assurance and Audit Committee Charter governs the Board’s relationship

with its external auditors. Promisia’s compliance with the Risk Assurance and Audit

Committee Charter ensures that:

• audit independence is maintained, both in fact and appearance, such

that Promisia’s external financial reporting is viewed as being reliable and

credible.

• free and open communication between the Directors and external auditors is

maintained.

• In relation to Promisia’s relationship with external auditors, the Risk

Assurance and Audit Committee is responsible for: Reviewing and enquiring

into Promisia’s financial statements, including providing the Board with

additional assurance about the quality and reliability of any financial

information issued publicly by the Company from time to time.

• Approving the auditor’s engagement letter and setting audit fees.

• Pre and post audit meetings, including any meetings with auditors or senior

management as required.

59

• Reviewing the Company’s annual audit plan and audit timetable.
• Reviewing the management letter, auditor performance and ensuring

rotation of the audit partner.

• Approving any non-audit engagements performed by the audit firm.

For FY24, William Buck Audit (NZ) Limited (“William Buck”) was the external auditor

for Promisia Healthcare Limited. William Buck was first appointed as auditor on 31 May

2019. Rotation of the audit partner occurs every five years.

All audit work at Promisia is separated from non-audit services, to ensure that

appropriate independence is maintained. William Buck has only provided audit work in

FY24. The amount of fees paid to William Buck during FY24 is identified on page 32.

William Buck has provided the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee with written

confirmation that, in its view, it was able to operate independently during the year.

7.2 Auditor attendance at the Annual General Meeting

William Buck is available to attend each Annual Meeting of the Company (either virtually

or in person), and the Audit Director is available to answer questions from shareholders

at that Meeting.

7.3 Internal Audit

Promisia does not have a dedicated Internal Auditor role. Promisia has several internal

controls overseen by the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee, including controls

for computerised information system, security, business continuity management,

insurance, health and safety, conflicts of interest, and prevention and identification of

fraud.

PRINCIPLE 8: SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS & RELATIONS

“The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive

relationships with shareholders that encourage them to engage with the issuer.”

8.1 Access to information

Promisia is committed to ensuring that its shareholders are kept up to date with key

activities and are provided with relevant information about the Company and its

performance. The Company communicates with shareholders during the financial year

through annual and half year reports and at the Annual Shareholders Meeting.

Promisia maintains an investor relations section on the Company’s website available

to access at https://www.promisia.co.nz/investor-centre/. This provides access to

key corporate governance documents, copies of all major announcements, Company

reports and presentations.

8.2 Investor communication

Written communications and reports are available on the Company’s website, as well as

emailed to shareholders that elect to be emailed. All shareholders are given the option

to elect to receive electronic communications from the Company.

NZX announcements are also available on the NZX website www.nzx.com/companies/

PHL/announcements.

In addition to shareholders, Promisia has a wide range of stakeholders and maintains

open channels of communication for all audiences, including the investing community,

Promisia’s staff and residents and parties involved in the aged care industry.

8.3 Voting on major decisions

In accordance with the NZX Listing Rules, shareholders have the right to vote on major

decisions which may change the nature of the Company. Each shareholder has one vote

per share and voting is conducted by polls.

60

8.4 Additional equity offers
Should Promisia consider raising additional capital, Promisia will structure the offer

having regard to likely levels of shareholder participation and optimising and enhancing

the ability to maximise the level of capital raised. The Board will look to give all

shareholders an opportunity to participate in any capital raising.

8.5 Notice of meetings

Promisia aims to provide at least 20 working days of the notice of the Annual

Shareholders Meeting, which is posted on Promisia’s website, announced on the NZX

and sent to shareholders prior to the meeting each year. In August 2023, due to Board

changes, only eleven days’ notice was provided.

The Board remains very conscious of managing costs for shareholders. Therefore,

the 2023 Meeting was an in-person only event. The Board will review the format of the

Meeting each year, taking into account shareholder feedback and cost to shareholders.
