  • Net Property Income increased by 8.2% year-on-year to S$87.3 million.
  • Distributable income of S$63.1 million is 3.5% higher year-on-year.

  • The Trust has an average term of debt maturity of 3.5 years and a well balanced debt maturity profile such that only about 39.7% of its total debts outstanding are due for refinancing over the next three years until 2013.
  • As at 30 June 2010, A-REIT’s aggregate leverage was 34.1%.
  • The weighted average cost of funding is 3.93%. All of A-REIT’s floating interest rate exposure is fixed for the next 2.9 years.
  • The  Transfer  Books  and  Register  of  Unitholders will be closed at 5.00 pm on 26 July 2010 for the purpose of determining unitholders’ entitlements to distribution.  
  • The distribution that will be paid on 26 Aug 2010.
Author's Note
The DPU, expected to be 3.37 cents, will be paid on 26 Aug 2010. The actual DPU will depend on whether there is any conversion of the convertible collateral loan due February 2017 into A-REIT Units on or before the book closure date.

The DPU was 2.73 cents in the previous quarter.
