AVJennings Limited ABN 44 004 327 771 – Page 4 30 June 2010 Preliminary Final Report

Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2010 Your Directors present their Report on the Company and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2010. DIRECTORS

The names of the Company’s Directors in office during the year and until the date of this Report are as below. Directors were in office for the entire period unless otherwise stated. Mr Simon Cheong (Chairman) Mr Jerome Rowley (Deputy Chairman) Mr Peter K Summers Mrs Elizabeth Sam Mr Herman R Hochstadt Mr Bobby Chin Mr Bruce G Hayman REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Financial Performance The Company increased Net Profit after Tax by 176% to $9.6m for the full year to 30 June 2010. Net Profit from Continuing Operations was $14.2m, an increase of 166%, while the Discontinuing Operations (Contract Building sold to Sekisui House Australia) returned a loss of $4.6m for the full year – a 74% improvement on the previous year’s loss of $18.1m. The last 18 months have been challenging and there are still some hurdles to overcome, but the Company is back on track to profitability. The sale of the Contract Building Division to Sekisui House Australia is an indicator of the Board and Management’s strategy to focus on our core skills of Land, Integrated Housing and Low-Rise Apartment Buildings. Business Performance Increasing levels of uncertainty in the market and a desire to re-position the Company for the future resulted in the Company taking a conservative view in the last 12 months. This included the postponement in the commencement of some projects. These projects are now underway and will contribute to improved revenues towards the second half of FY11. However, some uncertainty remains in relation to the upcoming State and Federal government elections, the end to the First Home Owner’s Grant, recent increases in interest rates, inadequate government planning, excessive government charges and the lack of co-ordinated land release strategies. Victoria has performed strongly. While the Company has benefited from the state’s strong migration program and reasonable planning and approval processes, the major factor has been the Company’s ability to create high quality projects in strong growth areas. New South Wales continues to be slow, though it has improved on 2009. The removal of stamp duty for sales off the plan under $600,000 is expected to be positive in the medium to long-term – however it has reduced housing starts as there is a substantial disincentive to start construction without pre-sales. The results for the year benefited positively from the Erskineville apartment project. Key components of the project’s success were the location, and the mix of high-quality affordable housing constructed – both essential in the still subdued Sydney market.

AVJennings Limited ABN 44 004 327 771 – Page 5 30 June 2010 Preliminary Final Report

Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2010 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued) Business Performance (continued) The Queensland market has not been as buoyant as other states. However, good revenue streams are anticipated as the Company has a number of projects in good locations and at price points that are attractive to buyers. The South Australian market and the Company’s performance within that market has been satisfactory. The Company’s flagship project, the redevelopment of the Cheltenham Racecourse, is being undertaken as a joint venture with Urban Pacific Limited. Development will commence in the coming months, and the project will be an important new revenue stream. Land and Integrated Housing Land development is, and will continue to be, an important element of the Company’s operations. However, the Company’s skill in delivering high quality Integrated Housing has been a key factor in its ability to respond to demanding times in recent years. This skill will be even more important as planning approval processes become more complex and the need to deliver affordable housing in spite of rising land prices increases. Contract Building Following a number of years of losses and a detailed operational review in the early part of FY10, the Board was optimistic that the Division could be turned around. However, the unsolicited approach by Sekisui House Australia in December 2009 provided the opportunity for the Company to form an alliance with this leading international residential builder. The transaction, which settled on 2 August 2010, resulted in the Company selling the assets of its Contract Building Division – including freehold and leasehold displays, house designs and the right to manage all existing contracts. In return, the Company received payments of approximately $20.0m. Sekisui will also pay royalties for the right to use the AVJennings brand for its contract building operations for the next 3 years. Financial Strength and Funding Capital management has been a key focus of the Board and Management, particularly over the last 2 years. This is reflected in the continued strengthening of the AVJennings Balance Sheet through the reduction of bank debt. As at 30 June 2010, Net Debt, including a proportionate share of joint venture debt, was $81.4m, a 35% reduction over the previous year, and a 58% reduction from 2008 when Net Debt was $194.3m. Consequently, the Company is well placed to capitalise on new growth opportunities that are starting to emerge in the residential sector. The Company has received offers from its bankers to renew its main facilities. Over the year, it has also introduced new financial institutions allowing the Company greater project funding flexibility.

AVJennings Limited ABN 44 004 327 771 – Page 6 30 June 2010 Preliminary Final Report

Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2010 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued) Management Structure The full year results reflect the total review of the Company’s operations undertaken early in 2009. The outcome has been a stronger management team, with more responsibility and more accountability for their own areas of control and expertise. The focus on building a strong national management team has resulted in greater planning and project monitoring, reduced costs and better workflow control at the local level. Outlook The major focus for the next 12-18 months is sustained, consistent improvement. The Company has a solid base of some 9,400 developable lots in its pipeline, the benefit of the AVJennings brand and, coupled with improved internal structures, a stronger management team and strengthened financial resources. Consequently, challenging goals have been set. Despite slow land release processes in parts of Australia, the Company is actively looking to build its pipeline in the coming 12-18 months. The Company will continue to adopt the same prudent investment criteria in assessing acquisition opportunities. DIVIDENDS Reflecting confidence in the refocussed AVJennings, Directors have resumed dividends, declaring a final dividend of 1.5 cents per share, fully franked (2009: Nil). It was also decided to suspend the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. COMPARATIVE FIGURES To enable meaningful comparison, some comparatives have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS The Consolidated Entity’s main banking facilities mature on 30 September 2010. As a result, the borrowings under these facilities are shown as a current liability on the Statement of Financial Position at 30 June 2010. As mentioned in the Review of Operations, subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company has received approval from its bankers to renew its main banking facilities. On 10 June 2010, AVJennings Limited entered into a contract to sell its Contract Building Division to a Japanese listed company, Sekisui House Limited (via its wholly owned Australian subsidiary Sekisui House Australia Holdings Pty Limited). The transaction was conditional upon approval of the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) and other regulatory approvals. These approvals were subsequently received and the transaction settled on 2 August 2010.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2010 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The Financial Statements of AVJennings Limited and its subsidiary companies (‘the Consolidated Entity’) for the year ended 30 June 2010 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 12 August 2010. The Company is incorporated in Australia and limited by shares, which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Consolidated Entity are described in Note 9, Operating Segments. These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listing rules. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES These general purpose condensed Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2010 have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. The Statements have been prepared on a historical basis except for derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. The condensed Financial Statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual Financial Statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Consolidated Entity as the full financial statements. It is recommended that these Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2009 and considered together with any public announcements made by AVJennings Limited during the year-ended 30 June 2010 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules. These Financial Statements are presented in Australian Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated under the option available to the Company under Australian Securities and Investments Commission Class Order 98/0100. The Company is an entity to which the class order applies. The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2009. The following amending Standards have been adopted from 1 July 2009. Adoption of these Standards did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Consolidated Entity. • AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

arising from AASB 8. • AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised September 2007), AASB 2007-8

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101. • AASB 123 Borrowing Costs (revised), AASB 2007-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting

Standards arising from AASB 123. • AASB Interpretation 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate. • AASB 1039 Concise Financial Reports (revised). • AASB 2007-10 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101. Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2010. These are not expected to have any significant impact on the Financial Statements or performance of the Consolidated Entity.

6. DISCONTINUING OPERATIONS

(a) Details of operations held for sale On 10 June 2010, AVJennings Limited entered into a conditional contract to sell its Contract Building division to the Japanese listed company, Sekisui House Limited (via its wholly owned Australian subsidiary Sekisui House Australia Holdings Pty Limited). The arrangement will also see the two companies form an alliance around land and the use of the AVJennings brand, ownership of which will remain with AVJennings Limited. The contract became unconditional subsequent to the year end and was settled on 2 August 2010. On completion, AVJennings received a payment of approximately $20 million under the arrangement which equates to the net asset value of the business on 31 July 2010. The total payment is subject to adjustment when final accounts are completed. The Contract Building division forms part of the Contract Building segment. At 30 June 2010 the Contract Building division was classified as a disposal group held for sale. AVJennings will retain ownership of the AVJennings brand and continue to use this brand for its Developments operations. It has licensed to Sekisui House the “AVJennings” brand and associated trade marks for use in the Contract Building business in return for a royalty based on the revenue and profit for the business for an initial three year term.

9. OPERATING SEGMENTS Identification of reportable segments The Consolidated Entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief operating decision makers in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The operating segments are identified by management based on the nature of the products sold and services provided. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported on a monthly basis. The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the products produced and sold and services provided, as these are the sources of the Consolidated Entity's major risks and have the most effect on the rates of return. Types of products and services The Consolidated Entity operates primarily in residential development and contract building and reports by operating segment. Accounting policies and inter-segment transactions The accounting policies used in reporting segments are the same as those contained in note 2 to the Financial Statements and those used in the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2009. Operating segments Land Development Builders buy land from AVJennings onto which they package their building products, or end customers buy land from an AVJennings estate and choose their own builder. Integrated Housing and Apartments Development The customer buys a completed home, townhouse or apartment within an AVJennings development. Contract Building The customer contracts to build a home with AVJennings on land they have sourced themselves. Other This includes the Home Improvements business where AVJennings carries out work on renovating a customer’s house. This segment operates in South Australia only.
