1. AFFO stands for ‘Adjusted Funds From Operations’, and is 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. The calculation of AFFO has not been reviewed by Asset Plus’ auditor, Grant Thornton.

Asset Plus 2020 Annual Meeting
Impact of COVID-19
-
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided material future uncertainty in the real estate market.
-
As a result the investment property portfolio materially reduced in value by $19.1m as at 31 March 2020.
-
Rental abatements and relief applied to the April – June 2020 quarter has impacted operating earnings by $0.59m ($0.42m after-tax), equivalent to approximately 4% of the current annualised gross rental income.
-
Majority of rental abatements are now agreed and all key tenants are back on full rent. However regular monitoring of smaller retail operator performance continues.
-
This lost revenue will be partially offset by the reintroduction of building depreciation in the next financial year.
-
The full impact of COVID-19 will not be known for some time.
-
While upfront rental abatement and relief has been granted, preservation of longterm value is also a key strategy, which includes ensuring the continuing operations of all retail tenants.

Bargain Chemist committed to a 6 year lease at the Centre from 13 May 2020. Several tenancies have been combined to meet the circa 800m² space requirements for the tenant.
-
Seismic upgrade works for “The Warehouse” building were carried out and completed. All buildings at Eastgate are now a minimum of 67% NBS.
-
A number of lease expiries in 2020 have been allowed to holdover on a monthly basis to provide flexibility with potential redevelopment options.
-
Marketing for both internal and external areas of the Centre continues. Negotiations are well advanced for a standalone fast-food restaurant adjacent to the KFC site. Internally, management continues to focus on sourcing another internal anchor tenant in addition to Bargain Chemist.
• COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the March 2020 valuation. COVID-19 has brought an amount of uncertainty to the retail market which has softened the capitalisation rate, and other valuation inputs. • Moving Annual Turnover (MAT) was up January-March, however has been down slightly post lockdown. Pedestrian counts have also been slightly subdued post lockdown.
