AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT's property income slid 3%

Blame it on loss of rental income.

According to a release, AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT Management Limited as Manager of AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT announced a distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.58 cents for the quarter ended 31 December 2012, representing a 3.2 percent increase compared to the previous quarter but a slight decrease of 0.8 percent year on year.

The distribution to unitholders for Q3 FY2013 was S$11.6 million, a 3.5 percent increase from the previous quarter, and a 0.5 percent increase year on year.

The DPU of 2.58 cents represents a payout of 100 percent of taxable income available for distribution, in line with the Manager’s policy to pay at least 90 percent of AA REIT’s taxable income.

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT CEO, Mr Nick McGrath, said: “We are pleased to deliver a DPU of 2.58 cents to unitholders. During the quarter, we reached the significant milestone of achieving the Temporary Occupation Permit for Phase One of 20 Gul Way within budget and ahead of schedule. We expect a full quarter’s rental incom contribution from this asset in the March 2013 quarter. We also renegotiated leases at higher rental rates, prudently managed capital and identified new opportunities to unlock portfolio value, such as the S$25.4 million redevelopment of 103 Defu Lane 10.”

The Trust reported gross revenue of S$25.7 million for the quarter, a result which included the recovery of the amended assessed property tax of S$4.1 million at 27 Penjuru Lane.

Excluding this one off property tax recovery, gross revenue for the quarter would have been S$21.6 million, a result in line with the previous quarter and 1.7 percent higher than the previous corresponding period.

This result was driven by positive rental reversions and recoveries at 8 & 10 Pandan Crescent, 1 Bukit Batok St 22 and 29 Woodlands Industrial Park E1, which offset the loss of rental income from the sale of 31 Admiralty Road.

Net property income of S$14.7 million for the quarter was in line with the previous quarter but down 3 percent compared to the previous corresponding period. This slight fall year on year was due largely to the loss of net rental income following the divestment of 31 Admiralty Road.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
