Result for the six months ended 30 September 2024
26 November 2024
• Total profit after tax of $2.324 million, up from $4.72 million loss in the prior corresponding
period.
• 35 Graham Street settlement to occur on 29 November 2024.
Asset Plus Limited (NZX: APL) announces its interim financial result for the period ended 30 September
2024, reporting a total profit of $2.324 million, up from a $4.72 million loss in the prior corresponding
period. Net operating performance was broadly in line with the prior corresponding period however the
prior period reflected an unrealised loss on the fair value of investment property.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO
1
) represented a loss of $0.35 million against a $0.23 million loss
in the prior corresponding period. The current period reflected a full period of Munroe Lane rent and
relevant finance costs.
Mark Francis, CEO Centuria NZ, commented “The result for the half year reflects a smaller portfolio and
the impact of vacancy. The imminent settlement of the vacant 35 Graham Street which is scheduled to
occur on 29 November 2024 will boost near term earnings as all debt is repaid.
The leasing of the Munroe Lane property remains the key priority as it will further improve our income
stream, WALE and, as a result, better position the asset for divestment.”
Key points:
• Portfolio occupancy of 42% which is unchanged from March 2024. This increases to 65% post
the 35 Graham Street settlement.
• WALE of 5.6 years down from 5.9 years at 31 March 2024. This improves to 8.9 years once 35
Graham Streets settles.
• An increase in the fair value of investment property (including property held for sale) of $2.79
million since March 2024, largely reflecting the unwind of the discount on Graham Street.
• The portfolio fair value now stands at $183.6 million but reduces to $116.2 million post the 35
Graham St settlement.
• Loan-to -value ratio (LVR) of 18.0%, which reduces to 0% post the 35 Graham Street settlement.
• Debt drawn remains at $32.97 million at balance date ($11.9m of the facility remains undrawn).
All debt is to be repaid following settlement of the sale of 35 Graham Street and the Company
will then hold approximately $27 million in cash reserves ahead of the intended special dividend.
• Net tangible assets (NTA) of 39.6 cents per share (cps), up from 38.9 cps as at 31 March 2024.
• Net revenues from the property portfolio increased by $0.54 million due to full half impact of
the Munroe Lane rental, offset by the Stoddard Rd divestment.

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
No independent valuation was commissioned as at 30 September 2024 as the Board determined there
was no material movement in the fair value of the property.
Leasing the balance of the space at Munroe Lane continues to be challenging in the current
environment, and these conditions are expected to subsist in the near term.
35 Graham Street deferred settlement
The 35 Graham Street settlement is contracted to occur on 29 November 2024. Immediately post
settlement all bank debt will be repaid and the Company will hold $27 million in cash reserves.
Special Dividend
The Board intends paying a 5 cents per share special dividend, subject to 35 Graham Street settling on
29 November. The dividend is expected to be declared on 2 December with payment on 18 December.
The NTA will reduce to 34.7 cps post the payment of the dividend. The quarterly dividend remains
subject to quarterly review.
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. 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.”

•Total profit for the period of $2.32 million against a loss of $4.72
million in the prior period to September 2023.
•Profit primarily impacted by $2.27 million unrealised gain on
revaluation of investment property. This was primarily driven by the
impact of the discount unwind at 35 Graham Street. Munroe Lane
was not revalued at half year.
•The result reflected the full half year impact of rental income derived
from Munroe Lane and higher interest costs.
•AFFO
1
loss of$0.35 million ($0.23 million loss in September 2023).
•Net rental income of $2.23 million, up from $1.69 million in the prior
corresponding period, primarily due to the full half year impact of the
Munroe Lane rental income.

Financial Performance

Financial Performance
•The impact of divestments was offset by the impact of a full
period of Munroe Lane net rental income (noting rental
commenced on 17 May 2023 in the prior period). Overall,
net rental income increased by $0.54 million.
•Management fees were lower due to a small performance
fee ($0.06 million) in the prior corresponding period.
•Net finance costs were higher by $0.42 million due to
higher average debt levels post the Munroe Lane
completion.
•Munroe Lane was not revalued as at 30 September 2024.
•The 35 Graham Street fair value increased $2.6 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.
•The AFFO reconciliation and waterfall is set out in
Appendix 1 and 2 respectively.

Net Rental Performance
•The Stoddard Road settlement occurred on 1 May 2023,
which was the sole reason for the reduction in net rental
income of $0.21 million.
•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 opex incurred.
•Munroe Lane rent commenced on 17 May 2023 in respect
to the Auckland Council lease. The current period
represents a full six months of trading.

Administration & Finance Expenses
•Management fees were slightly lower as the weighted
average portfolio value was marginally lower across the
half year. Management fees included a small performance
fee of $0.06 million in the prior period.
•Administration costs increased due to higher insurance.
•Finance costs increased by $0.35 million. The investment
facility debt profile was higher in the current period as the
Munroe Lane development facility converted to an
investment facility in July 2023 (hence a full half impact).
Until then finance costs on the development facility were
capitalised.
•Interest rates were broadly flat against the prior period.
•Interest income was lower by $0.07 million due to lower
funds held in the lockbox and on deposit.

Balance Sheet
•Investment property comprises Munroe Lane. No
independent valuation was engaged as at 30 September
2024.
•35 Graham St, which is held for sale has a fair value of $67.4
million which reflects the future settlement proceeds on a
discounted basis (applying a 9.0% discount rate). The sale
price is $68 million.
•Other assets include a $4 million cash lockbox held by BNZ.
This lockbox will be released once all debt is repaid. During
the period the Munroe Lane defects retention was released.
•Deposits which have been received in respect to 35 Graham
Street total $13.6 million or 20% of the sale price and are
recognised under other liabilities.
•NTA increased during the period to 39.6 cents per share
(cps) from 38.9 cps due to unrealised revaluation movement.
This was primarily due to the impact of the discount
unwinding at 35 Graham Street.
•Tax losses that are not recognised as a deferred tax asset
are currently $11 million as at 30 September 2024.
•LVR is 18.0% at balance date based on drawn debt.

Outlook
MUNROE LANE, AUCKLAND
•35 Graham Street settlement is scheduled to occur on 29 November 2024. All
external bank debt will be repaid post settlement.
•Key focus remains successfully leasing the balance of the Munroe Lane
development. Thereafter, we will look to sell Munroe Lane.
•We wish to emphasise that 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.
•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 Board intends to pay a special dividend of 5 cents per share post the
settlement of 35 Graham Street. This dividend is expected to be declared on 2
December, with payment on 18 December.
•Post the settlement of 35 Graham Street Asset Plus returns to a profitable
operating position. The quarterly dividend remains subject to quarterly review.

Notes to the Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 September 2024
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 2024 and the
comparative balances for the six months ended 30
September 2023 are unaudited. Comparative balances as at
31 March 2024 are audited.
2. Statement of Compliance and Basis
of Preparation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements
for the six months ended 30 September 2024 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 2024.
(a) Basis of Preparation
The interim 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 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 2024, 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 f rom 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 f rom
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 f rom 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:

Notes to the Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 September 2024
(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 f rom 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 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 consolidated statement of cash
flows on a net basis and the GST component of cash flows
arising f rom investing and financing activities is classified
as part of operating activities.
3. Material Accounting Estimates and
Judgements
The preparation of the 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 f rom
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.
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 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:
At 30 September 2024, the current liabilities of the
Group exceeded its current assets by $40,049,000
(31 March 2024: Net current liabilities $39,585,000)
because the loan is a current liability as the debt
facilities will expire on 31 March 2025.
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 Munroe Lane development completed in July 2023,
providing rental income and cash inflows f rom this point;
• 35 Graham Street, Auckland settles on 29 November
2024 at which point the debt will be fully repaid f rom the
proceeds of the sale;
• 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
tenant known 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--
For the half year ended 30 September 2024 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 2024, resulting in a net nil deferred tax balance sheet position,
in accordance with NZ IAS 12. As at 31 March 2024 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.

8. Other Financial Assets
Other 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 f reely 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 f rom cash and cash equivalents and presents as other financial assets.

Munroe Lane is measured at fair value as at 30 September 2024. The directors have determined that the external
independent valuation obtained as at 31 March 2024 of $116.2 million remains appropriate as at 30 September 2024 in light
of limited transaction activity in the market and that there is no material change to the property fair value. The fair value was
also adjusted to reflect the straight-line rent accrual and leasing costs amortisation as set out in the table above.

The independent valuation as at 31 March 2024 was $116.2 million. The fair value reflected $0.15 million of costs to complete.
The fair value was also adjusted to reflect the straight-line rent accrual and the capitalised leasing costs net of amortisation
as set out in the table above.
The valuation of Munroe Lane as at 31 March 2024 was 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.

26 November 2024
Dear Shareholder,
Throughout the first half of this financial year challenging economic conditions have persisted, however these
have now culminated in the Reserve Bank commencing reductions in the Official Cash Rate (OCR) which we
expect should see conditions stabilise and improve over time. We continue to work towards the company’s key
strategic priorities, being:
• The settlement of 35 Graham Street on 29 November 2024; and
• Leasing the balance of Munroe Lane.
Despite a number of inspections and proposals being made to prospective tenants, securing leasing
commitment has proved very difficult at Munroe Lane. Given the subdued market conditions and current
business confidence levels, we anticipate that leasing will remain challenging over the next 12 months.
The portfolio has not been revalued at half year, given the Board did not believe there had been any material
movement in the Munroe Lane valuation, and the pending settlement of 35 Graham Street.
A $2.32 million profit for the period compares with a $4.72 million loss in the prior corresponding period.
However Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) represented a loss of $0.35 million, down from a $0.23
million loss in the prior corresponding period. Once settlement of 35 Graham Street occurs, and the company’s
debt is fully repaid, the company is anticipated to hold cash reserves of approximately $27 million.
Subsequent to the settlement of 35 Graham Street, the company’s position will be materially different and the
Board has been considering the strategic options and opportunities that are available. In particular, features of
the business will include:
• The 6-8 Munroe Lane property 65% leased to Auckland Council with an 8.9 year WALE;
• The Company will have zero debt;
• Cash reserves of circa $27 million;
• Tax losses of approximately $12 million.
The Board has determined that there are currently no strategic opportunities of sufficient scale, that would be
compelling for shareholders compared to a return of capital to shareholders. Therefore, the Board intends to
apply the majority of these cash reserves to fund a one-off special dividend to shareholders once 35 Graham
Street settles and the sale proceeds are received.
Any subsequent steps to wind the company up, or pivot in a new direction will ultimately require shareholder
approval. Any decisions in this regard are unlikely to occur until such time as further leasing commitment is
secured at Munroe Lane.
In the meantime, the Management team and Board remain focused on delivery of our key objectives. We thank
you again for your continued support and look forward to communicating further with you shortly regarding the
intended special dividend.
Bruce Cotterill
Chairman
