NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

30 JUNE <strong>2017</strong><br />

ABACUS PROPERTY GROUP<br />

22. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

(c) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)<br />

AASB 2016-1, AASB 2016-2, AASB 2014-10, AASB 2016-5 and IFRIC 23 are applicable to the <strong>Group</strong>, however<br />

will have no significant impact on the <strong>Group</strong>.<br />

AASB 2016-4, AASB <strong>2017</strong>-2, AASB 2016-6 AASB <strong>2017</strong>-1, AASB interpretation 22, AASB 2016-8 and AASB 17<br />

will have no application to the <strong>Group</strong>.<br />

(d) Basis of consolidation<br />

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of AGHL and its subsidiaries, AT and its<br />

subsidiaries, AGPL and its subsidiaries, AIT and its subsidiaries, ASPT and its subsidiaries and ASOL and its<br />

subsidiaries collectively referred to as the <strong>Group</strong>.<br />

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the <strong>Group</strong> has power over the investee such that the <strong>Group</strong> is able<br />

to direct the relevant activities, has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee<br />

and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.<br />

The adoption of AASB 10 resulted in the consolidation of <strong>Abacus</strong> Hospitality Fund, <strong>Abacus</strong> Diversified Income<br />

Fund II and <strong>Abacus</strong> Wodonga Land Fund. This is due to the combination of the <strong>Group</strong>’s role as responsible entity<br />

and its exposure to variable returns arising from its collective equity and loan investments in these funds and<br />

certain guarantees.<br />

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using<br />

consistent accounting policies with adjustments made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may<br />

exist.<br />

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits from intra-group transactions, have been<br />

eliminated in full and subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the <strong>Group</strong> and<br />

cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the <strong>Group</strong>. Where there is a loss of<br />

control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period<br />

during which the <strong>Group</strong> has control.<br />

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method<br />

of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and<br />

the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.<br />

Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the consolidated income statement and<br />

are presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity of the<br />

owners of the parent.<br />

Non-controlling interests represent those equity interests in <strong>Abacus</strong> Hospitality Fund, <strong>Abacus</strong> Wodonga Land<br />

Fund, <strong>Abacus</strong> Jigsaw Trust, Lutwyche City Shopping Centre Unit Trust and <strong>Abacus</strong> Independent Retail <strong>Property</strong><br />

Trust that are not held by the <strong>Group</strong> and are presented separately in the income statement and within equity in<br />

the consolidated statement of financial position.<br />
