The past 12 months has been a period of ongoing

transition for Asset Plus, including the change to an

external manager, Augusta Funds Management, but

also implementation of the new value-add strategy.

The first step to that strategy has now been taken

with the 35 Graham St acquisition in FY20.

The Manager and the Board have actively pursued a

number of potential acquisitions, however the

current market is highly contested which at times is

driving unattractive target financial deal metrics.

The Manager is exploring all property classes,

including non-traditional sectors, and deal sizes in

order to seek better value creation opportunities for

shareholders.

Successful exit of non core assets – Heinz Watties.

___

Strategic Update

The Board is committed to growing

the portfolio in a disciplined manner,

with a primary focus to close the gap

between share price and net tangible

assets..

*AFFO is a non-GAAP financial information, calculated based on guidance issued by the Property Council of Australia. Asset Plus considers that AFFO is a useful measure for shareholders and management because it assists in

assessing the Company’s underlying operating performance. This non-GAAP financial information does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial information

prescribed by other entities. The calculation of AFFO has been reviewed by the auditors. A reconciliation of AFFO to net profitafter tax is included on page 14 of the Annual Report.

Heinz Watties Distribution Centre, Hastings

>

This asset is now sold unconditionally and will

settle in December 2019

The previously proposed redevelopment including a

warehouse extension and concurrent lease

extension is no longer proceeding in the near term.

On this basis the asset no longer aligns with Asset

Plus value-add strategy.

Given the asset is no longer core and regional, but

with 7.9 years of lease term still remaining at

balance date, it was determined that this property

should be divested now with the opportunity to

achieve book value.

A total of 7 lease renewals were completed during

the year.

The total rent from the renewals equate to

$0.57m, or 21.5% of the total rental income for the

centre, taking the centre WALT from 3.76 years in

March last year to 4.02 years currently.

The future focus is to secure upcoming lease

renewals and further boost the WALT of the

property.

Recent tenant retention is a positive signal and we

expect this trend to continue.

Mt Roskill is a sought-after area, with significant

government-led residential development currently

underway and planned for in the future.

funded taking current gearing to 38% (excluding

Heinz Watties divestment).

Contracted gross rental of $3.975m.

Leased to Auckland Council for a term two years.

Funding for the development phase will be

contingent on the Company’s balance sheet at the

through the recycling of existing assets, future

Initial focus post acquisition has been on

appointment of project manager and leasing

agent.
