Yes I noticed that too PT. It appears nothing was learned from the GFC. One of the main issues in regard to finance companies coming unstuck was what you're alluding too, capitalising interest, (usually on property development loans). This coming in a week when the Reserve bank expressed concern with the additional $3.5 billion of new farm loans raised this year.

This strikes me as a quasi home equity release type product, perhaps some sort of veiled acknowledgement the HER division has underperformed expectations ?
One would hope the LVR limits have been set at a far more conservative level than the rest of their rural book at 61% otherwise with capitalising interest and declining farm prices it won't take long for Mr and Mrs Farmer to be underwater.

One would presume that as the liquidators report was in May 2015 and there's little prospect of any money being recoverable that HNZ would have written this off as part of their specific bad debt's in FY15.

Chris Mace (Director) buying on market 713k shares. not bad.

Not surprised... Heartland's trading at a huge discount, directors/management see this, amazing Mr Market doesn't (similar to ARV)...

What is surprising is that Aussie banks are all doing very well today and heartland's barely keeping in the green...
