opportunities, including acquisition
and other growth opportunities, with a
combined value of approximately
$100 million. Investore continues to
explore portfolio growth opportunities
in what is currently a very active and
competitive market, however at this time
these opportunities remain subject to
further investigation and due diligence.
Investore intends to continue exploring
growth opportunities over the remainder
of FY21. The Investore Board will seek
to ensure that any such acquisitions
support Investore’s objective of
maximising distributions and total
returns to shareholders over the medium
to long term.
As shareholders are aware, Investore’s
dividend policy, as declared by the
Board, is to target a cash dividend to
shareholders that is between 95% and
100% of distributable profit. The Board
reconfirms annual cash dividend guidance
of 7.60 cents per share to shareholders
for FY21, assuming no further
deterioration in economic conditions due
to COVID-19.
On behalf of the Board, we thank investors
for their continued support of Investore.
Mike Allen
Chair of the Board
Chair and
Manager’s Overview
Dear Investors,
The Board of Directors of
Investore Property Limited
(Investore) is pleased to
present Investore’s interim
report for the six months
ended 30 September 2020
(HY21), a period that has
been dominated by the
impacts of COVID-19.
Investore is well placed
to manage these impacts
given its focus on large
format retail property,
with nationally recognised
tenants focused on
“everyday needs”, and a
geographically diversified
portfolio.
Investore has had a very positive first
half of FY21, with profit after income tax
of $91.0 million, up $80.1 million from
the six months to 30 September 2019
(HY20), largely due to a strong revaluation
movement which is testament to
Investore’s singular focus on large format
retail property.
Investore has also seen a positive increase
in net rental income of $3.3 million to
$27.4 million, largely due to the addition
to Investore’s portfolio of the three
properties acquired from Stride Property
Limited (SPL) on 30 April 2020. This
positive movement was partially offset
by increased finance expense due to the
cost of breaking swaps following the
issue of the listed bonds in August 2020,
the net proceeds of which were used to
repay some of Investore’s bank debt. This
resulted in profit before income/(expense)
and income tax of $12.2 million, slightly
down from $12.9 million for HY20.
Investore is pleased to report higher
distributable profit
1
after current income
tax for HY21 of $13.7 million,
$4.0 million higher than HY20, largely
due to the increased rental income. This
is notwithstanding that distributable
profit for HY21 has been impacted
by COVID-19 rent abatements, which
resulted in distributable profit before
current income tax for this period being
approximately $1 million lower than it
would otherwise have been.
Due to the active management of rent
abatement arrangements with tenants,
Investore currently expects the impact of
COVID-19 to result in a reduction in gross
rent receivable for FY21 of approximately
$1 million, at the lower end of the
previously estimated range of between
$1 million and $2 million. This current
figure includes rent arrangements agreed
or forecast to be agreed with tenants in
relation to the most recent COVID-19
restrictions imposed by the Government in
August 2020, but assumes no significant
further restrictions on activity.
In many cases Investore has been able to
negotiate an extension to the lease term
or early renewal of a lease along with rent
abatement or deferral arrangements, with a
weighted average lease extension of
seven months being achieved across
COVID-19 rent arrangements. This,
together with lease renewals agreed
during the period in review, has resulted
in a largely stable WALT
1
for Investore’s
portfolio of 10.2 years (compared with
10.4 years as at 31 March 2020
2
).
This is an improvement from what
would otherwise have been the case at
30 September 2020, all other things being
equal, as WALT naturally declines over time
as remaining lease periods reduce.
Investore’s singular focus on large
format retail property and relative
resilience to the impacts of COVID-19
has been demonstrated in the very
positive revaluation gains seen in
Investore’s portfolio in the six months to
30 September 2020. Investore’s portfolio
of 43 properties is now valued at
$980.3 million
3
, a gross valuation increase
for the six months to 30 September
2020 of approximately $85.3 million or
9.5%
4
, and a net valuation increase of
$83.7 million or 9.4%
4
.
Investore’s average portfolio
capitalisation rate has compressed,
due to the attractiveness of large format
retail property in the investment market.
As at 30 September 2020 the average
portfolio capitalisation rate was 5.53%,
representing a decrease of 55 basis points
from 31 March 2020
5
. This reduction in
the capitalisation rate is the primary driver
of the revaluation movement in Investore’s
portfolio for HY21.
The benefits of Investore’s singular focus
on large format retail property, including
the predictable and stable cash flows
derived from Investore’s long term leases,
have also been reflected in its share price,
with Investore delivering total shareholder
returns of 36.2% over the six months to
30 September 2020 (or 24.6% in the
nine months since 31 December 2019),
outperforming the gross S&P/NZX 50
Index by 16.3% over the same period (or
22.3% since 31 December 2019) and the
gross S&P/NZX All Real Estate Index by
15.4% (28.3% since 31 December 2019).
The first six months of FY21 have been
very active for Investore, in addition to
managing the impacts of COVID-19 and
the varying needs of Investore’s tenants
during that period. Investore has taken
advantage of market opportunities
created by COVID-19 to undertake a
capital raise in April and May 2020, raising
$105 million in gross proceeds. The net
proceeds of the capital raise were used to
pay down debt, reducing Investore’s loan
to value ratio and providing significant
available debt facilities to pursue
Investore’s strategy of targeted growth.
In August 2020 Investore issued its
second tranche of listed bonds, issuing
$125 million of 7-year bonds with a fixed
interest rate of 2.4%. The net proceeds
of the bond issue were used to repay
bank debt, extending the weighted
average tenor of Investore’s debt
to 4.4 years (as at 30 September 2020),
and providing Investore with a balance
between bank debt and listed bonds.
Following the revaluation of Investore’s
portfolio as at 30 September 2020,
Investore’s loan to value ratio has reduced
to 28.3%
6
. The capital raise and listed
bond issue have ensured Investore has a
stable financial position, with a low loan to
value ratio, which, aligned with Investore’s
resilient portfolio, positions Investore well
for the future.
Investore has $166 million of undrawn
debt facilities as at 30 September 2020
to pursue opportunities to grow its
portfolio, as they arise. Investore has also
arranged an additional $30 million bank
facility following the interim balance date,
providing it with nearly $200 million of
undrawn debt facilities (on a pro forma
basis, as at 30 September 2020).
In addition to these capital management
initiatives, Investore actively seeks to
manage its portfolio, including securing
early renewals of leases where possible.
During HY21, Investore’s largest tenant,
Countdown, renewed its lease at
Mt Wellington Shopping Centre in
Auckland for a further six years, to
2026. The Warehouse recently vacated
Investore’s property in Johnsonville at
the end of the lease. Investore is actively
exploring options for this property, which
represents 0.6% of the portfolio’s net
lettable area, and is confident that a
successful outcome will be achieved,
as the property is well-located and
represents an attractive proposition for a
number of tenants.
Investore is pleased to have welcomed
Adrian Walker to the Investore Board
on 3 April 2020, with the majority of
the Board of Directors of Investore now
comprising directors that are independent
of the Manager, Stride Investment
Management Limited (SIML). In addition,
Investore has elected to participate in the
Institute of Directors’ “future directors”
programme, which seeks to encourage
directorship by giving aspiring directors
the opportunity to observe a company
board and receive mentoring from
experienced directors. Emma McDonald
joined Investore as a future director on
17 April 2020 for a period of two years.
In August 2020, at the time of the
listed bond offering, Investore stated
that it was then considering portfolio

COVID-19 Update
Due to its focus on owning large
format retail properties, Investore’s
portfolio has fared relatively well during
the lockdown situations implemented by
the New Zealand Government in response
to COVID-19.
A high proportion of Investore’s tenants
are classified as “essential businesses”
on the Government’s covid19.govt.nz
website, meaning that they are able to
remain open under all Alert Levels. This
includes supermarkets, pharmacies, and
hardware stores, which supply “everyday
needs” for New Zealand consumers and
tradespeople.
Investore’s portfolio is also well
diversified geographically, meaning
that regional restrictions, such as the
escalation to Alert Level 3 in Auckland in
August 2020, affect a limited proportion
of Investore’s portfolio, with a small
number of tenants unable to trade in
regions with restrictions, given the high
proportion of Investore’s portfolio that
are “essential businesses”.
Investore has previously stated that it
expects reduced gross rent receivables for
FY21 as a result of COVID-19 of between
$1 million and $2 million. This was prior
to the most recent restrictions imposed
in August 2020. Investore now expects
that figure to be approximately $1 million.
This assumes no further restrictions are
imposed as a result of COVID-19, although
the Board notes that, as stated above,
Investore remains well-placed to manage
the impacts from restrictions due to its
focus on large format retail property and
tenants that supply everyday needs, which
to date have proven to be resilient under
lockdown restrictions.
The reintroduction of building
depreciation deduction claims for
commercial properties at a level of
two percent a year on diminishing value,
starting in April 2020, is expected to
provide a reduction in current tax of
approximately $2.2 million for FY21,
more than offsetting the rent abatement
arrangements agreed with tenants.
In addition, supermarkets have seen
increased demand in the year to date as
a result of the COVID-19 restrictions,
and accordingly Investore expects
improved turnover rent for FY21 from its
Countdown-branded stores.
Investore has also experienced a benefit
to its WALT
1
from the rent arrangements
agreed in respect of COVID-19. In
many cases, Investore has received
an extension of the lease term or the
tenant has renewed its lease early, in
consideration for rent abatement and
deferral arrangements agreed between
Investore and the tenant, resulting in a
weighted average lease extension of
seven months being achieved across
COVID-19 arrangements.

Active Portfolio
Management
Investore’s strategy is to
invest in quality, large format
retail properties throughout
New Zealand, and actively
manage investors’ capital,
to maximise distributions
and total returns over the
medium to long term.
Investore focuses on owning
well-located properties with
long lease terms and high
occupancy, with nationally
recognised quality tenant
brands, and maintaining
strong and enduring tenant
relationships that support
the portfolio.

1. Countdown is owned by Woolworths NZ.
Investore is the only NZX listed company with a singular focus on the large format retail
property asset class. Large format retail property delivers a number of positive benefits,
especially in the current environment impacted by COVID-19, compared to other forms of
retail in New Zealand.
Optimisation of
the Portfolio
Investore looks to develop
existing properties to
meet the needs of tenants
and the surrounding
catchment, which may
include acquiring sites
adjacent to existing assets,
to provide development
options for the future.
Investore collaborated with Countdown
1
to refurbish the supermarket in Fenton Street,
Rotorua, as part of the ongoing refurbishment programme conducted jointly by Investore
and Countdown. Countdown completed a full internal store refurbishment of this
supermarket, including new fresh food, bakery, and delicatessen areas, as well as installing
new checkouts. At the same time, Investore supported its tenant to achieve a refreshed
and vibrant customer experience through improving the parking amenity of the property,
installing a new energy efficient heating and ventilation system, improving the entry to
the store and undertaking other building improvements. As a result of this partnership,
the supermarket has been transformed into an easy to access, attractive and convenient
place to shop, which Investore and Countdown expect to drive improved sales. Investore
targets co-investment opportunities with its tenants to improve the portfolio and which
benefit Investore and the tenant through attracting higher sales, driving improved rental for
Investore over the long term.
As reported in Investore’s FY20 annual report, Investore acquired a small corner property
adjacent to its existing Countdown supermarket in Papakura, Auckland. This site had a
retail structure on it which was at the end of its useful life. Investore has now completed
the transformation of this site to provide an expanded car parking amenity, as well as
improved access and overall sight lines for the supermarket and Investore’s nearby
tenant. Investore receives improvement rent from Countdown on its investment in these
works. In addition, Investore and Countdown expect improved customer amenity to drive
an increase in customer visitations to the property, resulting in improved sales at the
Countdown supermarket, which again is expected to deliver improved rental for Investore
over the long term.

Proactive Capital
Management
Investore’s strategy
is to proactively
manage its capital to
maintain a healthy
and flexible balance
sheet for growth, while
preserving sustainable
returns to investors.
Key transactions undertaken in the six months to 30 September 2020:
• Capital raising conducted in April and May 2020, raising $105 million in gross
proceeds, through a fully underwritten placement and a share purchase plan. In
order to ensure that the capital raising was as fair and equitable as possible to all
shareholders, Investore invited eligible shareholders to subscribe under the share
purchase plan for up to $50,000 worth of shares each, which would have enabled
almost all shareholders to maintain their proportionate holding in the company. In
addition, the price to be paid by shareholders under the share purchase plan was set
at the lower of the price paid by investors in the placement ($1.65 per share), and a
2.5% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Investore’s shares
over the five business day period prior to the closing date of the share purchase
plan. Ultimately, the price was set at $1.65 per share, which was lower than the
alternative.
• Listed bond issuance, with $125 million of 7-year listed bonds being issued in
August 2020, at a fixed interest rate of 2.4%.
• $80 million of new bank debt facilities secured (including $30 million post interim
balance date), and $101 million of bank facilities extended to June 2024.
The net proceeds of the capital raising and the bond issuance were used to repay bank
debt, positioning Investore to continue its strategy of growing its portfolio through
considered acquisitions to enhance Investore’s portfolio and support delivery of
Investore’s overall objective of maximising distributions and total returns to investors
over the medium to long term. The listed bond issue also enabled Investore to further
diversify its debt sources, and extended the weighted average maturity of Investore’s
debt facilities to 4.4 years (as at 30 September 2020), given the longer WALT of
Investore’s portfolio.
As at 30 September 2020, some of Investore’s key debt metrics are:

28.3% loan to value ratio

47% of debt facilities from

Financial
Statements
Contract Rental
Contract Rental is the amount of rent payable by each tenant, plus
other amounts payable to Investore by that tenant under the terms of
the relevant lease as at the relevant date, annualised for the 12-month
period on the basis of the occupancy level for the relevant property as at

(loss) before income tax, adjusted for determined non-recurring and/
or non-cash items (including non-recurring adjustments for incentives
payable to anchor tenants for lease extensions) and current tax. Further
information, including the calculation of distributable profit and the

The loss allowance balance of $75,000 as at 30 September 2020 relates to tenants adversely affected by COVID-19.
Other non-recoverable property operating expenses represent property maintenance and operating expenses not recoverable from tenants and property
leasing costs.
1.5 COVID-19 impacts
The global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting impacts on credit and property markets has increased the level of uncertainty around certain estimates in these
financial statements.
Investore has previously disclosed to the market that it has made allowances to provide its tenants with rental support as a result of COVID-19, with an
expected cost to Investore in aggregate of between $1 million and $2 million for the year ending 31 March 2021. As at 30 September 2020, Investore has
provided rent abatements of $0.8 million and rent deferrals of $0.1 million. Rental abatements have been accounted for as lease modifications. In addition,
Investore has provided for $141,000 rental income abatements yet to be formally agreed with the affected tenants.
As at 31 March 2020, the independent valuations of Investore’s portfolio were reported on the basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’, meaning less certainty
and a higher degree of caution should be applied. As at 30 September 2020, Investore undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio. The ‘material
valuation uncertainty’ clause has been removed on all but one of the independent valuations (refer note 2.2).
1.6 Significant events and transactions
The financial position and performance of Investore was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the reporting period:
Acquisition of three properties from Stride Property Limited (SPL)
On 30 April 2020, Investore settled on the acquisition of three large format retail properties from SPL for $140.75 million (refer note 2.2).
Capital raise
During April and May 2020, Investore undertook a capital raise which resulted in a gross amount of $105 million raised, with 63,636,364 shares issued at
$1.65 per share (refer note 5.4). The net proceeds were used to repay $102 million of Investore’s bank borrowings.
Issuance of fixed rate bonds
On 31 August 2020, Investore issued $125 million of fixed rate bonds with a 7-year term, paying an interest rate of 2.40% (refer note 5.1). The proceeds were
used to repay $119 million of Investore’s bank borrowings.
Bank refinancing
Effective from 16 April 2020, Investore refinanced $101 million of debt facility, extending this facility for a further three years to 9 June 2024. In addition,
Investore secured a new $50 million, 5-year facility with its banking group, which now includes China Construction Bank, New Zealand Branch (refer note 5.1).
Revaluation of investment properties
Investore undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio as at 30 September 2020, which resulted in a net change in fair value of investment
properties of $83,744,000 (30 Sep 19: $886,000) which includes ($26,000) (30 Sep 19: ($138,000)) in relation to the change in the fair value of the lease
liabilities (refer note 2.2).
1.7 Non-GAAP measures
The statement of comprehensive income includes two non-GAAP measures; Profit before net finance expense, other income/(expense) and income tax; and
Profit before other income/(expense) and income tax. These non-GAAP measures have been presented to assist investors in understanding the different
aspects of Investore’s financial performance.
Note 3.2 sets out Investore’s calculation for distributable profit and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) which are both non-GAAP measures.
Distributable profit is presented to enable investors to see an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Investore’s underlying and recurring earnings
from its operations. AFFO is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance. Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of
maintaining a building’s grade/quality, but not expensed as part of distributable profit after tax, is adjusted to reflect cash earnings for the period.
These non-GAAP measures do not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to information presented by other entities.

completed on 30 April 2020. Under the sale and purchase agreement, SPL is to complete seismic works of $7 million and has provided a rental guarantee of
$0.5 million. As at 30 September 2020, the seismic works had not commenced and $0.1 million of the rental guarantee had been utilised.

(Colliers), Colliers International (Wellington Valuation) Limited (Colliers Wellington), Jones Lang LaSalle Limited (JLL), Savills (NZ) Limited (Savills) or CBRE
Limited (CBRE) as indicated. The valuations are dated effective 30 September 2020.

2.2 Investment properties (continued)
As at 31 March 2020, the valuations were provided on the basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’ meaning less certainty and a higher degree of caution should
be applied to the valuations. As at 30 September 2020, the ‘material valuation uncertainty’ remains only in the valuation of the property at 35 MacLaggan Street,
Dunedin, due to the expiry of the tenant lease in July 2021 and the unlikelihood of renewal.
In determining the valuations as at 30 September 2020, the valuers took into account:
• occupancy (leased area as a proportion of the total net lettable area) on individual investment properties (average is 99.7% at balance date) (31 Mar 20:
99.7%);
• average lease term (weighted average lease term (WALT) at balance date is 10.2 years (31 Mar 20: 11.5 years));
• discount rates (ranged from 3.88% to 9.50%) (31 Mar 20: 4.75% to 9.50%); and
• capital expenditure works of $0.6 million at 3 Averill Street, Auckland, relating to the carpark works.
Capitalisation rates ranged from 4.25% to 10.25% (31 Mar 20: 4.88% to 11.25%).
The estimated sensitivity of the fair value of the total investment property portfolio to changes in the market capitalisation rate and discount rate, assuming the
capitalisation rate or discount rate moved equally on all the properties, is as follows:

2.3 Capital expenditure commitments contracted for
As at 30 September 2020, Investore had committed to $0.337 million (31 Mar 20: $0.576 million) in total for various capital expenditure works to be
undertaken on investment properties over the next 12 months.
With regards to the property at 2 Carr Road, Auckland, Bunnings is planning to undertake an expansion of the trade zone and associated improvements along
with the planned seismic upgrades funded by SPL. Investore will contribute approximately $6 million towards the expansion and improvement works with an
associated improvements rental and a new 10-year lease on completion.
Investore has no other material commitments as at balance date.
This section sets out Investore’s earnings per share and how distributable profit is calculated. Distributable profit is a non-GAAP measurement
and is used by Investore to calculate profit available for distribution to shareholders by way of dividends.

3.2 Distributable profit
Accounting Policy
Investore’s dividend policy is to target a cash dividend to shareholders that is between 95% and 100% of its distributable profit. Distributable profit is
presented to enable investors to see an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Investore’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations.
Distributable profit is a non-GAAP measure and consists of profit/(loss) before income tax, adjusted for determined non-recurring and/or non-cash items
(including non-recurring adjustments for incentives payable to anchor tenants for lease extensions) and current tax.
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) is also a non-GAAP measure and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance. Although
there is no standard meaning or measure per GAAP, AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia.
Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of maintaining a building’s grade/quality, but not expensed as part of distributable profit after
current income tax, is adjusted to enable the investors to see the cash generating ability of the business.

SIML(737)
(617)
Investore has appointed SIML as its exclusive provider of ongoing real estate investment management services. Investore does not have any employees,
accordingly, there are no senior managers of Investore who have a relevant interest in the shares of Investore.
The performance fee expense is calculated and payable on a quarterly basis as 10% of the actual increase in shareholder returns (being share price, adjusted
for dividends, and other changes in capital structure), which is above 2.5% and under 3.75% in a quarter. Where shareholder returns exceed 3.75% in a
quarter, no payment is due for the actual amount of the return above 3.75% but the amount of the return above 3.75% is carried forward and added to the
calculation of shareholder returns in the next seven quarters. However, if shareholder returns are less than 2.5% in a quarter, the deficit is carried forward and
subtracted from the calculation of shareholder returns in the next seven quarters.
SIML received a performance fee of $775,494 for the quarter ended 30 June 2020 (quarter ended 30 June 2019: $523,110) and is due to receive a
performance fee of $670,205 for the quarter ended 30 September 2020 (quarter ended 30 September 2019: $484,808). The carried forward return for the
performance fee calculation for the quarter ended 31 December 2020 is 28.38% (31 Mar 20: carried forward return for the quarter ended 30 June 2020 was
3.16% deficit) which has been calculated in accordance with the management agreement.
As part of Investore’s $105 million capital raise (refer note 5.4), SPL paid Investore $16,522,301 to acquire 10,013,516 shares on 5 May 2020. Following that
capital raising SPL’s shareholding in Investore became 18.8%, being 69,201,977 shares (31 Mar 20: 19.4%, being 59,188,461 shares).

Bank borrowings
Investore’s bank borrowings are via syndicated senior secured facilities with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, Bank of New Zealand, Commonwealth Bank of
Australia, Westpac New Zealand Limited and China Construction Bank, New Zealand Branch.
In April 2020, Investore refinanced $101 million of debt facility extending this facility for a further three years to June 2024 and secured a new $50 million,
5-year facility. On 31 August 2020, following the receipt of $125 million from the retail bonds, Investore cancelled $99 million of bank facility that was due to expire
in June 2021.
Fixed rate bonds
On 31 August 2020, Investore issued $125 million of retail bonds with a 7-year term, expiring on 31 August 2027, paying an interest rate of 2.40%. The bonds
are quoted on the NZX Debt Market and their fair value is based on their listed market price as at balance date.
Interest on IPL010 is payable quarterly in April, July, October and January in equal instalments, whilst interest on IPL020 is payable quarterly in August,
November, February and May also in equal instalments.
Security
The bank borrowings and fixed rate bonds are managed through a security agent who holds a first registered mortgage on all the investment properties owned
by Investore and a registered first ranking security interest under a General Security Deed over substantially all the assets of Investore.

Investore enters into interest rate swaps that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rate, reset dates, payment dates, maturities and
notional amount. Investore hedged 100% of its floating rate borrowings as at 30 September 2020 (31 Mar 20: 94%). As all critical terms matched during the
period, the economic relationship was 100% effective, with the exception of the $25 million fixed rate receiver interest rate swap.
On 21 March 2018, Investore entered into a $25 million forward start fixed rate receiver swap for the duration of the fixed rate bonds with the effect of
converting a portion of the IPL010 $100 million fixed rate bonds to floating interest rate. The life to date ineffective portion on the receiver swap, due to
the misalignment to the fixed rate bonds as a result of the bonds commencing on 18 April 2018, is a fair value loss of $27,754 (31 Mar 20: fair value loss of
$68,346), resulting in a fair value gain movement of $40,592 (31 Mar 20: fair value loss movement of $18,026) being recognised in the current period in the
statement of comprehensive income.
On 25 November 2019, Investore broke interest rate derivative contracts with a notional value of $30 million for a cost of $1,562,453. Of the total swap
break expense incurred, $161,915 was recognised as finance expense in the period ended 31 March 2020 and $1,400,538 had been recognised in equity
as other reserves as at 31 March 2020. Following the repayment of bank debt on the receipt of the $125 million from the retail bonds and the cancellation
of the $99 million bank facility, the amount remaining in other reserve has been expensed in the current period to finance expense as the hedged future
cashflows are no longer expected to occur.
On 31 August 2020, Investore broke interest rate derivative contracts with a notional value of $40 million for a cost of $2,152,916. This cost has been expensed
to the statement of comprehensive income as the hedged future cashflows are no longer expected to occur.
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by independent treasury advisors using valuation techniques classified as
Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (31 Mar 20: Level 2). These are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturities of
each contract and the current market interest rates as at balance date. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties.
The valuations were based on market rates at 30 September 2020 of between 0.31%, for the 90-day BKBM, and 0.51%, for the 10-year swap rate
(31 Mar 20: 0.49% and 0.91%, respectively). There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the reporting period.
As at 30 September 2020, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives was a net asset of $163,726, including an accrued interest liability of $47,033
(31 Mar 20: liability of $2,549,350, including an accrued interest liability of $113,085).
Gains and losses recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve in equity on interest rate derivative contracts as at 30 September 2020 will be reclassified in the
same period in which the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss, until the repayment of the underlying borrowings.

In the current period, the income tax benefit of $392,280 arising from the swap break expenses in the cash flow hedges in the prior year has been recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income.
As part of its COVID-19 support package the New Zealand Government has reintroduced a 2% diminishing value depreciation deduction for commercial
properties, starting in April 2020 for Investore. This is estimated to provide a reduction in current tax to Investore of approximately $2.2 million for the year ending
31 March 2021.

Report on the interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Investore Property Limited (the Company), on pages 15 to 34 which comprise the statement of financial
position as at 30 September 2020, and the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the
six months ended on that date, and significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these accompanying interim financial statements of the Company do not
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 30 September 2020, and its financial performance and cash flows for the
six months then ended, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to
International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed
by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of
the interim financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor, our firm carries out other
services for the Company in the areas of other assurance services over operating expense audits. The provision of these other services has not impaired our
independence.
Directors’ responsibility for the interim financial statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim financial statements in
accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of
interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether
anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in
accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement.
We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical
and other review procedures.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (New Zealand) and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s
shareholders those matters which we are required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we
do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we
have formed.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Samuel Shuttleworth.

Investore Property Limited | HY21 Interim Results Update
v
Update on COVID-19
Investore’sportfolio continues to
demonstrate resilience given the high
proportion of tenants that are
essential businesses
•Investore has worked with its tenants to support them through
the impact of COVID-19 throughout the year
•Investore’sapproach in assisting tenants has been focussed
on providing rental support through a combination of
abatements and deferrals, often in return for granting
extensions to lease terms, resulting in a weighted average
lease extension of seven months being achieved across
COVID-19 arrangements
•Investore expects
1
reduced gross rent receivable for FY21 to
be approximately $1m, compared with the previous forecast
of $1m-$2m
•Balanced against the reduced gross rent receivable for FY21,
Investore will benefit from the reintroduced building
depreciation deduction claims for property owners with
commercial properties at a level of 2% of diminishing value a
year, starting in April 2020. This is estimated to provide a
reduction in current tax of approximately $2.2m for FY21
1.Assuming no further deterioration in economic conditions due to COVID-19 and no significant further restrictions on activity.
