NZX release
Result for the six months ended 30 September 2023

28 November 2023


• Total loss after tax of $4.72 million, down from $0.29 million profit in the prior corresponding

period primarily driven by a downward revaluation at Munroe Lane.

• Sale of Stoddard Road for $36.75 million and funds applied as a debt repayment.

• Munroe Lane development completed in the period.

• 35 Graham Street settlement date formally extended to 29 November 2024.


Asset Plus Limited (NZX: APL) announces its interim financial result for the period ended 30 September

2023, reporting a total loss of $4.72 million, down from a $0.29 million profit in the prior corresponding

period. The result was significantly impacted by unrealised revaluation losses, however the net

operating performance was broadly in line with the prior corresponding period.


Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO

1

) represented a loss of $0.23 million, down from a $0.01 million

profit in the prior corresponding period due to the portfolio divestments, offset against the

commencement of Munroe Lane rental income.


Mark Francis, CEO Centuria NZ, commented “The result for the half year reflects a smaller portfolio due

to recent divestments. The Munroe Lane lease to Auckland Council has now commenced but the

company remains impacted by vacancy across the portfolio.


The leasing of the Munroe Lane development is the key priority as it will improve our income stream,

WALE and as a result better position the asset for divestment.”


Key points:

• Portfolio occupancy of 42%, which has increased from 37% as at March 2023. This is due to the

commencement of the Auckland Council lease, offset against the Stoddard Road sale.

• WALE of 6.2 years up from 1.2 years at 31 March 2023 driven by the Munroe Lane Auckland

Council lease commencement.

• A reduction in the fair value of investment property of $4.59 million or a 2.5% decrease.

• The portfolio fair value now stands at $180.6 million.

• Loan-to-value ratio (LVR) of 18.2%, down from 31.5% as at 31 March 2023 due to the Stoddard

Road sale.

• Debt drawn was $34.97 million at balance date which is reduced from $71.4 million as at 31

March 2023 due to the Stoddard Road sale ($9.9m of the facility remains undrawn).

• Net tangible assets (NTA) of 39.1 cents per share (cps), down from 40.4 cps as at 31 March

2023.

• Net revenues from the property portfolio decreased by $0.59 million due to the Eastgate and

Stoddard Road divestments, offset against the Munroe Lane lease commencement.

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 Group’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 Asset Plus' auditor, Grant Thornton New Zealand Audit Limited. A reconciliation of AFFO to Total

Comprehensive Income Net of Tax is included in the accompanying results presentation.



Munroe Lane lease commencement

Munroe Lane is now complete with the Auckland Council lease commencing on 17 May 2023. Practical

Completion was achieved on 13 July 2023 and the building formally opened on 26 July 2023. The

Auckland Council occupy 64% of the completed development.


An independent valuation was commissioned as at 30 September 2023. The capitalisation rate has

softened from 6.0% to 6.25% resulting in a valuation reduction from $126 million to $120 million,

which represents a further development loss of $5.5 million for the period.


Leasing the balance of the space at Munroe Lane continues to be challenging in the current

environment. We have had a number of potential tenants consider Munroe Lane but ultimately elect to

either remain in their existing premises or relocate into lower cost accommodation with decisions driven

by both price and location. This is despite the clear quality and sustainability benefits of Munroe Lane.

Given the current economic environment the challenging conditions will remain as we seek to lease the

balance of the space in the short term.


35 Graham Street deferred settlement

The 35 Graham Street settlement date has been extended to 29 November 2024. An additional deposit

of $7.1 million has been received and applied as a debt repayment. The purchase price has increased by

$3 million to $68 million.


Stoddard Road settled

The sale of Stoddard Road settled on 1 May 2023. The campaign was a success with three

competing bids received in the sales campaign. Net divestment proceeds of $36.35 million were

applied as a debt reduction with $3.0 million held within the facility limit to bolster working capital.


Dividend

The dividend remains subject to quarterly review. However, the dividend will likely remain suspended

until the future direction of the company is confirmed.


Outlook

Bruce Cotterill, Chairman, commented “The leasing of the balance of the Munroe Lane development

remains our core focus. Thereafter, we will look to sell Munroe Lane. If a sale of Munroe Lane occurs, it

will position the company to consider its options which includes a wind up or pivot in a new direction.

As previously stated, any steps to sell Munroe Lane, or to subsequently wind up the Company, will

require shareholder approval, and we would likely anticipate asking shareholders to vote on both

decisions at the same time.”

Financial Performance
6

Financial Performance
•The impact of the Eastgate and Stoddard Road settlements

reduced net rental income by $2.42 million.

•The impact of the above divestments was however offset

by the Munroe Lane net rental income of $1.78 million

which was recognised for the half year (noting rental

commenced on 17 May 2023). Overall, net rental income

reduced by $0.59 million.

•Management fees were marginally lower by $0.11 million

due to the impact of the Eastgate and Stoddard Road

divestments offset by the Munroe Lane development and a

small performance fee ($0.06 million).

•Net finance costs were lower by $0.42 million due to lower

average debt levels ($0.52 million) and higher interest

income ($0.24 million) offset against higher interest rates

($0.34 million) in the current half year.

•The Munroe Lane unrealised revaluation loss recognised

was $5.5 million as the cap rate softened from 6.0% to

6.25%.

•The 35 Graham Street fair value increased $0.92 million

due to the discount unwind.

•There is a tax loss for the period and a deferred tax asset

recognised to the extent of the deferred tax liability.

•AFFO reconciliation and waterfall is appended.

Net Rental Performance
•35 Graham Street was in line with the prior period. It

remains 99% vacant. A small amount of carpark income was

received which partially offset the opexincurred.

•The Eastgate settlement occurred in late August 2022,

which was the key reason for the reduction in net rental

income of $1.36 million at Eastgate.

•The Stoddard Road settlement occurred on 1 May 2023,

which was the sole reason for the reduction in net rental

income of $1.06 million.

•Munroe Lane rent commenced on 17 May 2023 in respect

to the Auckland Council lease. Net rental (including

unrecovered opexon the vacancy) of $1.78 million was

Administration & Finance Expenses
•Management fees were slightly lower as the weighted

average portfolio value marginally decreased due to the

divestments, offset by the Munroe Lane development.

•Management fees also included a small performance fee

of $0.06 million for the period.

•Finance costs decreased by $0.18 million. This was due to

divestments and a lower debt profile which represents a

saving of $0.41 million. There was also a saving on line

fees of $0.11 million as the facility limit has reduced. This

was however offset by higher interest rates during the

period ($0.34 million).

•Interest income was higher by $0.24 million due to funds

held in the lockbox as well as the Munroe Lane retention

funds held in trust, and higher deposit rates achieved.

•The development facility converted to an investment

facility on 13 July. Until then finance costs on this facility

have been capitalised.

Funding Update
11

Funding
•Cash lockbox in place. Initially $5 million but is to equate to

the actual EBIT shortfall to an ICR of 1.5x. The lockbox can

reduce over time if the ICR shortfall is less than $5 million.

The lockbox was reduced to $4 million post balance date

and the ICR measurement threshold reduced to 1.25x.

•APL still reports EBIT and leasing updates to the bank so

that lockbox sizing can be tested. There is no ICR covenant.

•The Development facility converted to investment facility

on Munroe Lane practical completion being 13 July 2023.

The LVR covenant is now <45%.

•No hedging is in place due to the 35 Graham Street exit on

29 November 2024.

•The base interest rate as at balance date is 5.7% before

margin and line fees.

•Drawn debt as at28 November 2023 is $35.0 million which

is unchanged from balance date.

•The facility limit has reduced to $44.9 million as a result of

the additional 35 Graham Street deposit of $7.1 million.

•$9.9 million of the facility limit remains undrawn.

•The loan facilities maturity date is 31 March 2025. All debt

will however be repaid post the 35 Graham Street

settlement on 29 November 2024, absent a sale of Munroe

Lane ahead of that date.

Divestment of 35 Graham Street
35 GRAHAM STREET, AUCKLAND | ARTIST’S IMPRESSION

•Unconditionally sold, with a deferred settlement date of

29 November 2024 as the purchaser has notified APL that

they wish to extend settlement by 12 months.

•As the settlement is extended the total deposit received is

now $13.6 million and the sale price has increased to $68

million (from $65 million). The second deposit of $7.1

million was received on 29 September 2023 and the funds

were applied as a debt repayment.

•As the settlement is deferred, the current net present

value is $62.6 million (based on the discounted forecast

settlement cash flows). A 9% discount rate has been

applied.

Outlook

Outlook
MUNROE LANE, AUCKLAND

•The company is forecast to still be in an operating loss position post the Munroe

Lane completion, absent further leasing, up until the 35 Graham Street

settlement on 29 November 2024.

•Key focus remains successfully leasing the balance of the Munroe Lane

development. Thereafter, we will look to sell Munroe Lane.

•We wish to emphasisethat the leasing of Munroe Lane will influence the timing

of such decisions, while market conditions at the time are likely to dictate the

ultimate outcome.

•Ultimately, if Munroe Lane was to sell, the Board anticipates being in the unique

position of the Company having zero debt and significant cash reserves with

which to consider a range of options. This includes a wind-up and return of

capital or pivoting in a new direction.

•Any steps to sell Munroe Lane, or to subsequently wind up the Company, will

require shareholder approval, and we would likely anticipate asking shareholders

to vote on both decisions at the same time.

•The dividend remains suspended which is subject to quarterly review. It is likely

to remain suspended until the future direction of the company is confirmed.

1. Corporate Information

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements

comprise of Asset Plus Limited (the “Company”) and its

subsidiary (collectively the “Group”).

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated

and domiciled in New Zealand whose shares are listed on

the New Zealand Stock Exchange. The Company is an FMC

Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013. The registered office is located at Level 2, Bayleys

House, 30 Gaunt Street, Wynyard Quarter, Auckland.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the

Group are investing in commercial property in New Zealand.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements

for the six months ended 30 September 2023 and the

comparative balances for the six months ended

30 September 2022 are unaudited. Comparative

balances as at 31 March 2023 are audited.

2. Statement of Compliance and Basis

of Preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements

for the six months ended 30 September 2023 have

been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted

Accounting Practice in New Zealand (“NZ GAAP”), the

requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

and the Main Board listing rules of the New Zealand

Stock Exchange. They also comply with the New Zealand

Equivalent to International Accounting Standard NZ IAS 34

“Interim Financial Reporting”.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements

have been prepared under the assumption that the Group

operates on a going concern basis and are presented in

New Zealand dollars with all values rounded to the nearest

thousand dollars ($’000), except where otherwise indicated.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements

do not include all the information and disclosures required

in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should

be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated

financial statements as at 31 March 2023.

(a) Basis of Preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements

have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted

Accounting Practice in New Zealand (“NZ GAAP”), the

Companies Act 1993, the requirements set out in section

7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Main

Board Listing Rules of the NZX. The interim condensed

consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a

historical cost basis, except for investment properties which

have been measured at fair value.

Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those

of the most recent annual consolidated financial statements

for the year ended 31 March 2023, except where accounting

standards which have been issued and are effective for the

current reporting period, or which are issued but not yet

effective and may be early adopted, have been adopted

for the first time. Certain comparative information has been

reclassified to conform with the current reporting period's

presentation. There are no new standards adopted in the

current period.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements

incorporate the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses

and cash flows of the entities controlled by the Company

at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any

entity over which Asset Plus Limited has the power to direct

relevant activities, exposure or rights, to variable returns

from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use

its power over the investee to affect the amount of investor

return. The existence of potential voting rights that are

currently exercisable or convertible are considered, if those

rights are substantive, when assessing whether a Company

controls another entity.

In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial

statements, subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the

Group gains control until the date on which control ceases.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared

for the same reporting period as the parent company,

using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the

interim condensed consolidated financial statements, all

intercompany balances, transactions, unrealised gains and

losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends

have been eliminated in full.

The table below represents the Company's investment in its

subsidiary as at each reporting date:

(c) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenue and expenses are recognised net of the amount of

GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods

and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority,

in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of

acquisition of the item as applicable.

All items in the interim condensed consolidated statement

of financial position are stated net of GST, with the

exception of receivables and payables, which include GST

invoiced. Cash flows are included in the interim condensed

consolidated statement of cash flows on a net basis and the

GST component of cash flows arising from investing and

financing activities is classified as part of operating activities.

3. Significant Accounting Estimates

and Judgements

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated

financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires

Directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions

that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies

and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and

expenses. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made

are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set

of circumstances available to the Group.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on

an ongoing basis. Although the Group has internal control

systems in place to ensure that estimates can be reliably

measured, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the

period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects

only that period, or in the period of the revision and future

periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Notes to the Interim Condensed

Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 30 September 2023

Key Judgements

The areas involving a high degree of judgement or areas

where assumptions are significant to the Group include

the following:

• Determination of Fair Value of Investment Property (Note 9)

• Classification of Investment Property Held for Sale (Note 10)

• Deferred Taxation (Note 6)

Going Concern

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements

have been prepared under the going concern assumption,

which assumes the Group will be able to pay its debts as

they fall due in the normal course of business. As part of

management's assessment of the Group's ability to continue

as a going concern, the following uncertainties relating to

events or conditions have been taken into account:

The Board has considered all information available at the

date of signing the interim condensed consolidated financial

statements and is of the opinion that the Group is a going

concern based on:

‐The debt facility maturity is 31 March 2025;

‐The Munroe Lane development was completed in July

2023, providing rental income and cash inflows during

the period;

‐35 Graham Street, Auckland settles on 29 November 2024;

‐Available liquidity levels, undrawn and available debt on

the loan facilities and forecast cashflows for at least 12

months being sufficient to cover future obligations when

they fall due; and

‐ Forecast cashflows have taken into consideration known

tenant circumstances, costs to be incurred in respect to future

leasing, expected future expenses and provisions to fund any

anticipated cash requirements in the current environment.

Deferred Taxation--

As at 30 September 2023 Asset Plus Limited is in a tax loss position. It is not considered probable that Asset Plus Limited will

utilise these tax losses in the near-term. As such, a deferred tax asset has only been recognised to the extent of the deferred

tax liability balance as at 30 September 2023, resulting in a net nil deferred tax balance sheet position, in accordance with NZ

IAS 12 Income Taxes. As at 31 March 2023 the company was also in a tax loss position and accordingly the deferred tax asset

is only recognised to the extent the losses will be utilised.

7. Segment Reporting

The principal business activity of the Group is to invest in New Zealand properties. Investment properties have similar economic

characteristics, methods of management and are under leases of various terms. Segment reporting is presented in a consistent

manner with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, the Board. The Board receives internal financial

information on a property by property basis, assesses property performance and decides on the resource allocation. The Group

operates only in New Zealand. On this basis all of the Group’s properties have been aggregated into a single reporting segment

to most appropriately reflect the nature and financial effects of the business activities. The Group has no unallocated revenue,

expenses, assets or liabilities and this approach has been applied to comparative periods.

10
8. Other Financial Assets

Other financial assets relates to restricted cash balances which are held on term deposit. This cash held on term deposit

is considered restricted on the basis that the funds do not have the same level of liquidity as cash and cash equivalents on

the basis that the funds are not freely able to be withdrawn at any time and is not available to be used to meet short-term

commitments. Therefore the restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents and presents as other financial assets.

Munroe Lane WIP (work in progress) was reclassified on practical completion which was achieved on 13 July 2023.

Munroe Lane is measured at fair value, which includes cost to complete, as at 30 September 2023 and is determined by the

independent valuation using the capitalisation and discounted cashflow approach. The independent valuation was conducted

by an independent registered valuer who is a member of the Institute of Valuers of New Zealand. The valuer is experienced in

valuing commercial properties.

The independent valuation as at 30 September 2023 is $120 million. The fair value reflects $2 million of costs to complete. The

fair value is also adjusted to reflect the straight-line rent accrual and the capitalised leasing costs net of amortisation.

(1) WIP (work in progress) relates to costs incurred in relation to current or future development work which were not included in

the inputs to the most recent external valuation calculation by the independent valuers. These costs include design, consents

and other direct costs capitalised as development costs.


The independent valuation is adjusted for the carrying value of capitalised lease incentives and capitalised leasing fees as in

determining the carrying amount of investment property under the fair value model, an entity does not double count assets

or liabilities that are recognised as separate assets or liabilities.

On 1 May 2023 Stoddard Road was sold for $36.75 million and the net sale proceeds were $36.33 million.

35 Graham Street is measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value has been determined based on the forecast

future discounted cash flows of the sale up to the settlement on 29 November 2024 including the deposits received of $13.6

million. A discount rate of 9.0% has been used as at 30 September 2023 which reflects the assumed weighted average cost of

capital. The increase in the fair value is due to the impact of the discount unwind offset against the extended settlement date.

Independent Auditor’s
Review Report

To the Shareholders of Asset Plus Limited

Report on the Review of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Conclusion

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”)

of Asset Plus Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprise the

interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2023, and the interim

condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, interim condensed consolidated statement

of changes in equity and interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended on

that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying

financial statements on pages 1 to 13 do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of

the Group as at 30 September 2023, and of its financial performance and cash flows for the period ended

on that date, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim

Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements

Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are

independent of the Group 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.

Other than in our capacity as assurance practitioner we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Group.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Group, for the preparation and fair presentation of the

financial statements in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Accounting Standard

34: Interim Financial Reporting issued in New Zealand by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board,

and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair

presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or

error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the 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 financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance

with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and

International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

A review of the financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance

engagement. We perform procedures, 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 consequently does not enable us to obtain

assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on those

financial statements.

Restriction on use of our review report
This review report on the financial statements is made solely to the shareholders, as a body. Our

limited assurance work has been undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders, as a body

those matters which we are required to state to them in an independent 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 Company and the shareholders, as a body, for our work, for this review report or for the

conclusion we have formed.

Dear Shareholder,



During the first half of the financial year we have continued to see a number of external factors providing

an increasingly challenging business environment. Notwithstanding, we are pleased to confirm that

despite these factors, the company has successfully delivered on a number of our objectives, including:


• Completion of the Munroe Lane development

• Commencement of the Auckland Council lease at Munroe Lane

• The sale and subsequent settlement of 22 Stoddard Road


The now completed Munroe Lane development adds a:


• newly constructed

• highly specified

• sustainable

• well located decentralised office building

• with extensive campus style floor plates


to the portfolio with a blue-chip tenant covenant in Auckland Council across two thirds of the property.


Whilst the balance of the property has proven difficult to lease in the wake of Covid-19, and the

subsequent economic environment, we remain confident that the fundamentals of the building will

attract tenant commitment in due course. With the building now completed, leasing enquiry and

inspections have increased, with a number of potential tenants considering Munroe Lane. Unfortunately,

the majority of these tenants have elected to remain in their existing premises or relocate into lower cost

accommodation with decisions driven by price, despite the clear quality and sustainability benefits of

Munroe Lane. Given the current economic environment the challenging conditions will remain as we

seek to lease the balance of the space in the short term.


The Auckland Council lease at Munroe Lane commenced on 17 May 2023, bolstering the income to

partially offset prior period divestments, and the vacancy at 35 Graham Street. As a result, Adjusted

Funds From Operations (AFFO) reduced from a $0.01 million profit in the prior period to a $0.23 million

loss for the period.


The high inflationary environment and tightening monetary policy has adversely impacted the fair value

of assets in the period with a $4.59 million reduction in the fair value of the assets of the company. This

was primarily driven by the valuation for the completed Munroe Lane property reducing by $5.5 million

as a result of the market softening, with a 0.25% expansion in the capitalisation rate. As a result, NTA

has reduced from 40.4 cps as at 31 March 2023 to 39.1 cps as at 30 September 2023.


The Stoddard Road property was sold and settled earlier this year after a successful on market campaign

that attracted three comparable offers. The property transacted quickly and settled in May with the sale

proceeds being applied towards debt reduction.





The purchaser of the 35 Graham Street property has now also formally exercised their right to extend

settlement until 29 November 2024. A further deposit of $7.1 million has been received and applied as

a debt repayment. The purchase price has also increased by $3.0 million increasing the total purchase

consideration to $68.0 million.


The development finance facility has converted to an investment facility with the practical completion

of Munroe Lane in July. There remains $9.9 million of undrawn funds for completion and leasing of the

Munroe Lane development. The lockbox of $5 million has also subsequently reduced to $4 million post

balance date as a result of testing in accordance with covenants.


The company’s key focus remains leasing the balance of the Munroe Lane development. As signalled

previously following further substantive leasing at Munroe Lane, the company will look to divest that

property, subject to market conditions at the time.


If a sale of Munroe Lane occurs it will position the company to consider its options, including a wind up

of the company, or a pivot into a new direction. As previously indicated, any steps to sell Munroe Lane

or to subsequently wind up the Company will require shareholder approval, and we would likely

anticipate asking shareholders to vote on both decisions contemporaneously.



Thank you as always for your continued support.




Regards,





Bruce Cotterill

Chairman

AFFO stands for ‘Adjusted Funds From Operations’, and 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. A reconciliation of AFFO to Total Comprehensive Income Net of Tax is included in
