PLP – Property valuation reassessment

PLP – Orchard maturity review leads to reduction in current value

26 June 2023

A report has been received recently on the Northland based kiwifruit orchard held by the Private Land
and Property Portfolio (the wholesale fund into which the PLP invests). The report provided an
independent assessment on the orchard including the maturity of the vines. Their assessment is that due
to the adverse weather conditions earlier in the year (which had an impact on the management of the
orchard), it is unlikely to reach its full productive capacity until later than originally expected.

As a result of this, the Manager has reviewed its valuation of the property. The Manager’s estimated
value of the property includes a portion related to the relative maturity of the vines, and is recognised
over the time it is expected for the vines to reach full productive capacity. While the assessment of the
vine’s productive capacity on maturity and the ‘at maturity’ value of the property remains consistent with
that provided by the last independent valuation, the delay in reaching full maturity has caused the
Manager to consider a reduction in its current carrying value to be warranted.

The Manager has adopted a reduction in the current carrying value of the property of $1.3 million, which
represents a reduction of 0.94% to the net asset value of the PLP, reducing the most recently issued net
asset value (NAV) per unit from $1.4131per unit to $1.3998, which on an ex-distribution basis is $1.3916
(PLP’s price is quoted on the NZX on an ex-distribution basis from 21 June 2023).
