NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20<strong>11</strong><br />

A$’000<br />

<strong>Campus</strong> <strong>Living</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>10</strong>/<strong>11</strong><br />

<strong>Campus</strong> <strong>Living</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> Fund<br />

Revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective 1 July 2012). In June 20<strong>11</strong>, the IASB made an amendment to<br />

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The AASB is expected to make equivalent changes to AASB <strong>10</strong>1 shortly. The<br />

amendment requires entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income into two groups, based on<br />

whether they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. It will not affect the measurement of any of the items<br />

recognised in the balance sheet or the profit or loss in the current period. The Fund intends to adopt the new standard<br />

from 1 July 2012.<br />

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 20<strong>11</strong><br />

reporting period other than those mentioned above. The Fund has assessed the new standards and interpretations as<br />

unlikely to have a material impact.<br />

2. Financial risk management<br />

The Fund’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, which include market risk (currency risk and cash flow interest<br />

rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Fund’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of<br />

financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Fund.<br />

The Fund uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to mitigate cash flow interest rate risk.<br />

The Fund uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include<br />

sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and foreign exchange risk; age analysis for credit risk; and cash flow<br />

forecasts for liquidity risks.<br />

The Fund holds the following financial instruments:<br />

a) Currency risk<br />

Subsidiaries of the Fund are located in Australia, the US, NZ and the UK and operate and source external financing in their<br />

local currencies. Management of the Fund monitors the exchange rate fluctuations between the Australian Dollar and the<br />

local currencies of the foreign subsidiaries on a regular basis. If the exchange rates fluctuated by <strong>10</strong>% the loss after tax<br />

would vary by $2.3m and the net assets would vary by $63.2m.<br />

Management have not utilised any derivative financial instruments to date to hedge the foreign currency risk of earnings<br />

from subsidiaries in accordance with an agreement with the unit holders of the Fund. Management will institute the<br />

appropriate action and utilise the necessary derivative financial instruments should there be a change in agreement with<br />

the unit holders. Forward exchange contracts are utilised to hedge currency risk on the equity portion of capital projects.<br />

Loans are made during the year between entities within the Fund for purposes of providing funding for capital<br />

expenditure or the net investment in subsidiaries. The currency of the loan is generally denominated in the currency of the<br />

lender and the loans are valued at balance sheet spot rate at each reporting date.<br />

b) Credit Risk<br />

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with major banks and financial institutions, as well as credit<br />

exposure to students and universities, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Credit granted to<br />
