BOQ COVERED BOND TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2019

 

 

1. Significant accounting policies

 

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Manager on 15 November 2019.

 

The registered office of the Manager, B.Q.L. Management Pty Ltd, is Level 6, BOQ Village,100 Skyring Terrace, Newstead Queensland, 4006.

 

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of these financial reports are set out below:

 

(a)           Statement of compliance
 

In the opinion of the Trust Manager, the Trust is not a reporting entity.  The financial report of the Trust has been drawn up as special purpose financial report to satisfy the requirements of the Establishment Deed.

 

The special purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ('AASB's') adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB'), subject to the exceptions noted below, and the requirements of the Establishment Deed and the Corporations Act 2001. 

The financial report does not include the disclosure requirements of all AASBs except for the following minimum requirements:

AASB101               Presentation of financial statements

AASB107               Statement of cash flows

AASB108               Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

AASB1048             Interpretation and Application Standards

AASB1054             Australian Additional Disclosures

 

(b)           Basis of preparation

 

The BOQ Covered Bond Trust (the Trust) is a Trust domiciled in Australia.

 

The Trust was established with the purpose of carrying on a business to provide funds for the purchase of a cover pool of assets by equitable assignment and to guarantee the covered bonds issued by Bank of Queensland Limited (BOQ). The Trust funded the purchase of the cover pool of assets through the issue of a Covered Bond Issuance and an Intercompany Demand Note which represent the debt of the Trust.

 

The Trust was established by the Establishment Deed between the Trust Manager (B.Q.L. Management Pty Ltd), Issuer, Seller and Servicer (Bank of Queensland Limited - "the Bank"), the Covered Bond Guarantor (Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited) and the Security Trustee (P.T Limited) and the Trust Deed between the Issuer (Bank of Queensland Limited - "the Bank"), the Trust Manager (B.Q.L. Management Pty Ltd) , the Covered Bond Guarantor (Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited) and the Bond Trustee (BNY trust Company of Australia Limited). 

 

In accordance with the Establishment Deed, the trust was constituted on 24 April 2017.

 

The Trust entered into an Intercompany Note Subscription Agreement dated 4 May 2017 with BOQ to fund the purchase of the Demand Note by equitable assignment. The Intercompany Note and the Demand Note loan collectively represent the debt of the Trust.

 

The financial report has been presented in Australian dollars and prepared on the historical cost basis

 

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with AASB's requires the Manager to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

 

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

 

BOQ COVERED BOND TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2019

 

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(b)           Basis of preparation (continued)

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision effects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision effects both current and future periods.

 

Those areas which involve significant estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies and have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial report is impairment of financial assets as described in Note 1(c) Implementation of new Australian accounting standards - Impairment

 

 

(c)           New accounting standards and amendments

 

The following are the amendments to standards and interpretations applicable for the first time in the current year, and the impact of these on the Trust:

 

●           AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions;

●           AASB 2016-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Applying AASB 9 Financial Instruments with AASB 4 Insurance Contracts;

●           AASB 2017-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transfers of Investment Property, Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle and Other Amendments;

●           AASB 2017-3 Amendments to Australia Accounting Standards - Clarifications to AASB 4;

●           AASB Interpretation 22 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration;

●           AASB 9 Financial Instruments - The impact of implementing this new standard is disclosed below; and

●           AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - The impact of implementing this new standard is disclosed below.

 

The Trust has reviewed the impact of the above and, apart from AASB 9 and AASB 15, determined there to be no material impact.

 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9)

The standard became mandatory for the Trust in this financial year commencing 1 September 2018 and replaces the guidance under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139). AASB 9 introduces changes in the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, in addition to a new expected credit loss model for impairment and requirements with respect to hedge accounting.  The Trust has elected, as a policy choice permitted under AASB 9, to continue to apply hedge accounting in accordance with AASB 139.  

 

Classification and measurement

AASB 9 introduced new requirements which determine how financial assets are classified and measured. Financial assets, except equity instruments and derivatives, are classified according to their contractual cash flow characteristics and the business model in place for managing the financial asset.

 

 

 

 

BOQ COVERED BOND TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2019

 

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(c)           New accounting standards and amendments (continued)

 

The AASB 139 measurement categories of financial assets (fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity and loans & receivables) have been replaced by:

 

 

   Amortised cost - From 1 September 2018, the Trust only classifies financial assets as amortised cost when both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model where the objective is to hold them in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI).
The Trust has the following financial assets in this category: cash and cash equivalents, demand note loan and receivables.

 

●       Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - a financial asset is classified at FVOCI when both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model where the objective is achieved by holding them in order to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that meet the SPPI test. These instruments largely comprise assets that had previously been classified as financial assets available-for-sale under AASB 139.
The Trust does not hold any financial assets in this category.

 

●       Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) - Financial assets in this category are those that are held for trading and have been designated by management upon initial recognition or are mandatorily required to be measured at fair value under AASB 9. These instruments largely comprise assets that had previously been classified as financial assets held for trading under AASB 139. The Trust does not hold any financial assets in this category.

 

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities continue to be measured at amortised cost.

 

Impairment

The adoption of AASB 9 has resulted in a change in the impairment methodology by replacing AASB 139's incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach. The impairment requirements have been adopted from 1 September 2018 and an allowance for ECLs has been recorded for all receivables, where applicable. The Trust does not hold any impairment provisions.

 

Transition

There are no changes in the classification and measurement of financial assets of the Trust or financial liabilities.

 

The Trust does not have any transition adjustments to its opening balance sheet or retained earnings at 1 September 2018 from the impact of the adoption of AASB 9.

 

AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (AASB 15)

AASB 15 was adopted by the Trust on 1 September 2018, replacing the previous guidance under AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. 
AASB 15 establishes a single comprehensive five step revenue recognition and measurement model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Five steps of the revenue model include:
 
1. Identification of the contract with a customer;
2. Identification of the separate performance obligations in the contract;
3. Determination of the transaction price under the contract;
4. Allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in Step 2; and
5. Recognition of revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
 
Where there is variable consideration in calculating a transaction price, revenue will only be recognised if it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods.
 

 

BOQ COVERED BOND TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2019

 

 

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(c)           New accounting standards and amendments (continued)

 

Revenue arising from items such as financial instruments and leases are outside the scope of AASB 15 and continues to be accounted for in accordance with the relevant applicable standard. The revenue within the scope of AASB 15 includes other income.

 

Transition

The Trust has reviewed the other income within the scope of AASB 15 and determined that there is no material impact on transition to AASB 15. 

 

AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16)

The following standard is applicable to the Trust in future financial periods and the impact of this standard has not been applied in these financial statements.

 

AASB 16 Leases introduces a single on-balance sheet accounting model for lessees for recognising and measuring lease arrangements and will replace AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117). It will become mandatory for the Trust in the financial year commencing 1 September 2019. Lessor accounting under AASB 16 remains largely unchanged from AASB 117.

 

For lessees on transition, the standard requires identification of leases that provide the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time. For these leases, the Trust is required to recognise on balance sheet a right-of-use (ROU) asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing the future lease payment obligations.

 

From the assessment undertaken to date, no material impacts on the Trust's financial statements have been identified.

 

(d)           Demand Note Loan

 

The Demand Note Loan represents the Trust's interest in the cover pool assets purchased from BOQ by equitable assignment. The sale of the cover pool assets from BOQ to the Trust does not qualify for derecognition in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments because the sale is deemed to have failed to transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.  Consequently, BOQ continues to recognise the covered pool assets and recognises a corresponding financial liability to the Trust on its statement of financial position. In turn, the Trust recognises a financial asset due from BOQ, comprising of interest in the residential mortgages and a corresponding financial liability to BOQ under the Intercompany Note Subscription Agreement.

 

The transfer of substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership is evaluated by comparing the entity's exposure, before and after the transfer, with the variability in the amounts and timing of the net cash flows of the transferred asset. An entity has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset if its exposure to the variability of the future net cash flows from the financial asset does not change significantly as a result of the transfer. 

Under the sale agreement, the Trust assumes any variability of principal cash flows from the cover pool, while the variability of the revenue cash flows, as a result of the interest rate swap agreement (refer note 1(e)) and the ownership of the income unit (refer note 9), remains with BOQ. 

 

As a result, after considering all reasonably possible variability in net cash flows, with greater weight being given to those outcomes that are more likely to occur, BOQ is deemed to have failed to transfer substantially all of the risk and rewards.

 

The Covered Bond has a Pass Through structure which has the feature of "Dual Recourse", meaning that in the event of a default of the Bank, an investor has recourse on the Bank and on the underlying mortgages.

 

(e)           Derivative financial instruments

 

The Trust enters into interest rate swaps with BOQ.  The purpose of these swaps is to align the basis of revenue from the cover pool assets purchased under equitable assignment from BOQ (note 1(d)) to the interest expense under the financial liabilities.  The interest rate swaps convert the revenue from the variable and fixed rate mortgages to a floating rate basis.

 

As a consequence of BOQ's sale of cover pool assets to the trust not qualifying for derecognition (note 1(d)), AASB 9 Financial Instruments also denies the Trust from separately recognising derivatives that prevent a transfer of financial assets.  Therefore, the Trust has not separately recognised internal interest rate swaps in the statement of financial position and no gains or losses have been recognised in the profit or loss.

 

 

 

 

 

BOQ COVERED BOND TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2019

 

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(e)           Derivative financial instruments (continued)

 

The Trust enters into external cross currency swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate and currency risk.  These derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date.  The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. The Trust designates certain derivatives as either hedges of the fair value of recognized assets, or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedges), or hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flows).

 

Hedge Accounting

The Trust designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives, in respect of interest rate risk, as cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Trust documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an on-going  basis, the Trust documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

 

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of 'cash flow hedging reserve'.  The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the 'other gains and losses' line item, when applicable.

 

Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss, in the same line of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as the recognised hedged item. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

 

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Trust revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.  Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in profit or loss.   When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 

(f)            Income tax

 

Under current legislation the Trust is not subject to income tax as the taxable income, including the assessable realised capital gains, is distributed in full to the unitholder. The Trust fully distributes its distributable income, calculated in accordance with the Establishment Deed (as amended) and applicable taxation legislation, to the unitholder who is presently entitled to the income.

 

(g)           Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution and highly liquid investments with short periods to maturity which are readily convertible to cash at the Trust Manager's option and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

(h)           Income and expenses

 

Income and expenses are brought to account on an accruals basis.

 

The Trust Manager and the Covered Bond Guarantor are entitled under the Bond Trust Deed, to be paid for certain expenses incurred in administering the Trust.  The basis on which the expenses are paid is defined in the Establishment Deed. The amount paid is disclosed in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and was calculated in accordance with the Establishment Deed.

 

BOQ COVERED BOND TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2019

 

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(i)            Revenue recognition

 

Interest revenue

Interest income is recognised using effective interest rate on the financial asset. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.  When calculating the effective interest rate, the Trust estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but not future credit losses.  The calculation includes all amounts paid or received by the Trust that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, including transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.  Transaction costs include mortgage loan acquisition costs such as commissions paid to intermediaries.

 

(j)            Receivables

 

Receivables are carried at their amortised cost.

 

(k)           Payables

 

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for services received. Accounts payable are non-interest bearing, stated at amortised cost and are normally settled within 30 days.

 

(l)            Interest bearing liabilities

 

Interest bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

(m)          Goods and services tax

 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ('GST'), except where the amount of GST incurred (or portion of GST incurred) is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office ('ATO'). In these circumstances the irrecoverable GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

 

(n)           Rounding             

 

The Company is an entity of the kind referred to in the ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 dated 24 March 2016 and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in this financial report and Directors' report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
2. Auditor's remuneration

 

 

The auditor's remuneration for the Trust is paid by the parent entity, the Bank. The following amounts were attributable to the Trust in relation to the audit, transaction testing and the securitisation set up fees for the Trust.

    Demand Note loan

2,775,660

1,381,647

The balance of the Demand Note loan represents the outstanding balance of the mortgage loans in the cover pool. The collateral against the cover pool held by BOQ is in the form of mortgage interests over Australian residential property. Estimates of fair value are based on the value of collateral assessed at the time of origination, and generally are not updated except when a loan is individually assessed as impaired.

The potential for impairment of the secured loan reflects the potential impairment of the underlying cover pool assets managed by BOQ. Given the credit quality of the mortgage loans including the current level of collateral held against the cover pool, no assets are deemed impaired for the Trust as at balance date. No allowance for impairment is currently deemed necessary for the Trust. Interest on all loans continues to be taken to income, including those which are past due but not impaired.
