“Locked-in" low interest rates

  • On 15 December 2014 the Fund entered into a five year interest rate swap to hedge 100% of its drawn debt at IPO at an all in interest rate of approximately 4.1%

Leasing success at 9 Help Street, Chatswood

  • The Fund has reached agreement with CH2MHill Pty Ltd to extend its lease over its core premises of 1,815 sqm for three years to 31 March 2019 (previous expiry 31 March 2016)

  • As part of the agreement CH2MHill have surrendered 1,102 sqm of surplus space, a portion of which (588 sqm) has since been leased to a division of Lend Lease for use as project space

  • These transactions have increased the building's weighted average lease expiry ( WALE ) from 1.7 years at ASX listing to 1.9 years as at 31 March 2015

Lodgement of draft master plan and new independent valuation at 3 Carlingford Road, Epping:

  • The Fund, together with the owners of certain properties surrounding 3 Carlingford Road, lodged a draft master plan with Parramatta City Council to pursue re-zoning and development approval at 3 Carlingford Road and certain surrounding properties

  • 3 Carlingford Road was independently revalued as at 31 March 2015, resulting in a $4.5 million or 27% increase on prior book value

MARKET UPDATE: RE-STATEMENT OF PDS FORECAST

==> picture [74 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

  • The Fund has entered into an agreement with CH2MHill to extend the lease over its core premises for three years to 31 March 2019

  • As part of the agreement CH2MHill have surrendered 1,102 sqm of surplus space in return for partial upfront payment to the Fund

  • This upfront payment from CH2MHill has had the effect of bringing forward into FY15, earnings that would previously have been recognised in FY16

  • The Fund has also entered into a lease agreement with a division of Lend Lease over a portion of the surrendered space (588 sqm), which has offset the impact of a marginal discount given to CH2MHill for early prepayment

  • The CH2M Hill transaction is earnings neutral for the Fund, noting the Fund has:

  • recognised and received cash earlier than previously forecast; and

  • increased the amount of time it has to lease the vacated area creating potential to increase earnings compared to the original PDS

  • The Fund's re-stated PDS forecast over FY15 and FY16 (Forecast Period) is shown below[(1)] :

Adjusted forecast for CH2MHill surrenderpayment FY15 FY16
Net surrenderpayment impact +$0.4m ($0.5m)
Re-leasingspace to a division of Lend Lease +$0.1m -
Net impact +$0.5m ($0.5m)
Re-stated Distributable Earnings $7.5m $12.4m
Re-stated Distributable Earningsper Stapled Security 10.5c 17.3c

(1) The re-stated PDS forecast does not include the impact of the Acquisitions and Entitlement Offer.

(2) Distributable earnings reflects timing of actual ASX listing and Stapled Securityholder entitlement to income from 9 December 2014. FY15 distributable earnings reflects an 8.80% annualised yield on IPO issue price, and is in-line with PDS forecast.

CONCLUSION

==> picture [74 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

CMA continues to offer investors strong financial metrics with an attractive quarterly distribution, a conservative capital structure, low gearing and the potential for capital growth

The Acquisitions are in line with the Fund's strategy to invest in office and industrial assets in Australian metropolitan markets which generate income returns and offer the potential for capitalgrowth through active management

The Acquisitions are accretive to distributable earnings from settlement and the Fund is forecasting FY16 distributable earnings of 17.9 cents per Stapled Security which reflects an 8.5% yield on the issue price and represents a 3.5% increase on PDS[1] guidance

The Entitlement Offer provides an opportunity for all CMA Stapled Securityholders to participate in the transaction and the continued growth of the Fund

Expected increased liquidity and market capitalisation improves the Fund's eligibility for future ASX300 Index inclusion

(1) Restated forecast of 17.3 cents per Stapled Security as outlined on slide 5

APPENDIX B

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

26

Forward-looking statements are by their very nature subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are outside the control of CPFL. Please refer to Appendix B (Key Assumptions) and Appendix C (Key Risks)

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Key best estimate general assumptions include:

  • the Entitlement Offer completes and the Acquisitions settle by 30 June 2015;

  • CPI of 2.75% from 30 June 2015 to 30 June 2016;

  • no acquisitions or disposals of investment properties over FY16 ( Forecast Period );

  • no material contract disputes or litigation over the Forecast Period;

  • no material change in the competitive operating environment during the Forecast Period;

• no significant change to the legislative regime and regulatory environment in the jurisdictions in which the Fund operates during the Forecast Period;

  • no significant change to the Fund's capital structure over the Forecast Period;

  • no material change in credit markets;

  • all existing leases are enforceable and are performed in accordance with their terms;

  • no material changes to applicable Australian Accounting Standards, other than mandatory professional reporting requirements and the Corporations Act during the Forecast Period;

  • no material changes to Australian income tax legislation; and

• no movement in the fair value of investment properties or other financial assets which includes any mark to market movements in relation to any new interest rate swaps entered into by the Fund. CPFL does not believe these movements can be reliably forecast.

==> picture [74 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Key best estimate specific assumptions include:

Gross property income and direct property expenses

Gross property income, direct property expenses and outgoings have been forecast on a property by property basis based on existing leases and CPFL’s assumptions for future occupancy rates, tenant retention and market rentals.

Gross property income is post all rent free or abatement incentives offered to tenants, other than existing incentives adjusted for upon settlement. Where incentives are given, CPFL forecasts that incentives apply to all tenants (new or existing) and that incentives are split between abatements (25-85%) and the reimbursement of fitout costs (15-75%).

Reletting and vacancy

Letting up periods, retention rates, lease incentives and leasing commissions have been forecast on a property by property basis. Key assumptions for office tenants include:

  • Renewal probability: 50 - 75%

  • Letting up periods: 9 – 12 months

  • Lease incentives: 20 – 30%

  • Leasing commissions: 6.5 – 24.4% (5 year term)

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure forecasts are based on reports provided by independent consultants, with additional allowances made where considered appropriate by CPFL.

Rental guarantee

The vendor of 60 Marcus Clarke Street, Canberra has provided the Fund with a rental guarantee in respect of 1,331 square metres of space and 12 car parks. The rental guarantee is from settlement to 31 January 2016. The Fund's letting up assumption on this asset is consistent with letting up periods across the portfolio. The rental guarantee is assumed to cover part of the letting up period.

CPFL's fee

As responsible entity of the Fund, CPFL is entitled to a management fee of 0.55% of GAV. CPFL's management fee as responsible entity will be calculated and paid monthly by the Fund.

Finance costs

The Fund's borrowings under its debt facilities are expected to incur an average interest rate of 4.0% for FY16.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs include stamp duty, property due diligence and other costs such as offer management costs and advisor fees.

KEY RISKS

Forward-looking statements are by their very nature subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are outside the control of CPFL. Please refer to Appendix B (Key Assumptions) and Appendix C (Key Risks)

KEY RISKS

==> picture [74 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

An investment in the Fund is subject to risks, both specific to the Fund and more general risks. Many of these risks are beyond the control of CPFL and if they were to eventuate, may adversely affect the future performance of, or value of an investment in, the Fund. This section identifies a number of relevant and key risks associated with an investment in the Fund. However it is not intended to be exhaustive.

Before making an investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider the risks outlined below together with the other information in this document and publicly available information on the Fund (such as that available on the websites of the Fund and the ASX). Prospective investors should have regard to their own investment objectives, financial situation and needs before deciding making an investment decision.

Risks specific to an investment in the Fund

Rental income and Distribution risks

Distributions made by the Fund will be largely dependent on the rents received from tenants across the Fund's portfolio and expenses incurred during operations, which may be affected by a number of factors, including; overall economic conditions, the financial condition of tenants (including tenant arrears or default), ability to extend leases or replace outgoing tenants with new tenants, increase in rental arrears and vacancy periods, reliance on a tenant which leases a material portion of the Fund's portfolio, an increase in unrecoverable outgoings, and supply and demand in the property market. Any negative impact on rental income has the potential to decrease the value of the Fund and consequently have an adverse impact on distributions or the value of Stapled Securities or both.

Tenant concentration

Some of the properties in the Fund's portfolio are single tenanted, exposing the performance and value of each of those properties to the ability of those tenants to continue to meet their obligations under the respective leases. In aggregate on completion of the Acquisitions, approximately 60% of gross income will be generated from ten tenants. Of the eight properties currently in the Fund's portfolio, three of these properties have a single tenant (two of the four properties being acquired are also single tenanted). There is a risk that if one or more of the major tenants ceases to be a tenant, the Fund may not be able to find replacement tenants on lease terms that are at least as favourable as current terms. Should replacement tenants lease the property on less favourable terms this will result in a lower rental return to the Fund and the overall performance of the Fund will be impacted.

The ability of CPFL to secure lease renewals or to obtain replacement tenants may also be influenced by any leasing incentives granted to prospective tenants and the supply of new industrial properties in the market, which, in turn, may increase the time required to let vacant space.

The forecasts included in this presentation assume all existing leases are performed in accordance with their terms. Failure to do so may cause the Fund’s distributions and the value of its assets to be materially less than those assumed in the forecasts in this presentation.

Re-leasing and vacancy risks

There is a risk that expiring leases may not be renewed. This may result in a reduction in the Fund’s profits and distributions and a decline in the value of the assets of the Fund.

Property market valuations

The ongoing value of the properties held by the Fund may fluctuate due to a number of factors. Those relevant to determining value include rental, occupancy levels and Capitalisation Rates all of which may change for a variety of reasons including those set out above in respect of these particular risks. In addition, the value of property is influenced by general property market conditions including supply and demand. Valuations represent only the analysis and opinion of qualified experts at a certain point in time. There is no guarantee that a property will achieve a capital gain on its sale or that the value of the property will not fall as a result of the assumptions on which the relevant valuations are based proving to be incorrect.

29

Forward-looking statements are by their very nature subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are outside the control of CPFL. Please refer to Appendix B (Key Assumptions) and Appendix C (Key Risks)

KEY RISKS

==> picture [74 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Risks specific to an investment in the Fund

Property liquidity

Property assets are by their nature illiquid investments. The Fund may not be able to realise the assets within a short period of time or may not be able to realise assets at valuation. This may affect the Fund’s NTA or Stapled Security price.

Capital expenditure

The forecast capital expenditure represents CPFL’s current best estimate of the associated costs in maintaining the Fund's portfolio. There is a risk that the required capital expenditure exceeds the current forecasts which could lead to increased funding costs and impact distributions. In addition, any requirement for unforeseen material capital expenditure on the properties could impact performance of the Fund.

Asset risk

Any property in the Fund's portfolio may be damaged or destroyed by flood, fire, earthquake or other disaster. Whilst CPFL will insure the properties in the Fund's portfolio against such risks, insurance coverage may prove to be insufficient or not available in some circumstances.

Completion risk

CPFL has entered into agreements to acquire the new properties referred to in this document. Failure of a third party to comply with the agreements or the sale contracts could result in a delay in, or failure to complete, the acquisition of the properties. The acquisition of the property at Grenfell Street, Adelaide is subject to securityholder approval by ordinary resolution at a meeting of securityholders of the Fund under ASX listing rule 10.1. There is a risk approval may not be granted in which case the Entitlement Offer but not the acquisition of the Grenfell Street property would proceed.

Reliance on third parties

CPFL may engage third party service providers in respect of a part or the whole of the property portfolio, being Centuria Property Services Pty Ltd or third parties outside the Centuria Group. These services will be subject to contractual arrangements between Centuria and the relevant third parties.

Failure of a third party to discharge its responsibilities as agreed may adversely affect the management and financial performance of Centuria and therefore returns to investors.

Funding

CPFL may fund future refinancing, capital expenditure and acquisitions from either debt or equity markets. Its ability to do so on favourable terms (including fees and interest rate margin payable) will depend on a number of factors including general economic conditions, the state of debt and equity markets, as well as on the reputation, performance and financial strength of the Fund. Changes to any of these underlying factors could lead to an increase in the cost of funding, limit the availability of funding, as well as increasing the Fund’s refinancing risk for maturing debt facilities. A lack of funding on favourable terms could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to acquire new properties and to fund capital expenditure.

Gearing

The Fund intends to utilise debt in the future where appropriate, including as a source of funding for the acquisitions of the new properties referred to in this document as well as future acquisitions. The Fund’s gearing is targeted to be 25% to 35%. On completion of the Entitlement Offer and settlement of the Acquisitions, gearing is expected to be approximately 25%. Gearing is expected to be approximately 19% if the acquisition of Grenfell Street, Adelaide is not approved by Stapled Securityholders. The level of gearing exposures the Fund to movements in interest rates and increases the Fund’s exposure to movements in the value of the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund’s gearing during the Forecast Period differs from that assumed in the forecast in this document, then distributions may also differ from the forecasts in this document . Higher gearing over the term of the Fund's debt facilities may also give rise to refinancing risk as the facility approaches expiration.

KEY RISKS

==> picture [74 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Risks specific to an investment in the Fund

Breach of covenants

A decline in rental income or the value of the Fund's portfolio may cause the Fund to breach covenants under its debt facilities.

A breach of debt facilities may result in the debt financier enforcing its security over the relevant assets of the Fund's portfolio . The financier may enforce repayment of the facility, which could result in early sale of a property or properties in the Fund's portfolio at a price less than the optimal sale price, additional equity being required or distributions being reduced or suspended to accelerate pay down of the debt facility.

Refinancing risks

The Fund’s ability to refinance or repay its debt facilities as they fall due will be impacted by market conditions, the financial status of the Fund and prevailing economic conditions, including interest rates, at the time of maturity or refinancing. There is a risk that the Fund may be unable to repay or refinance its debt facilities upon maturity, resulting in the Fund having to raise further equity, dispose of assets for a lower market value than could otherwise have been realised, or enter into new debt facilities on less favourable terms.

Interest Rates

Interest payable on the Fund's debt facility will depend on the interest rate which is comprised of a base interest rate plus interest rate margin. In order to reduce exposure to the impact of moving interest rates, CPFL has entered into a five-year interest rate swap to hedge 100% of its drawn debt at listing of the Fund. CPFL will target interest rate hedging of between 50% and 100% of drawn debt.

Derivatives

CPFL will use derivative instruments to hedge the Fund's exposure to interest rates. The mark-to-market valuation of derivative instruments could change quickly and significantly. Such movements may have an adverse effect on the financial performance and financial position of the Fund.

Sector concentration

The Fund is invested in office or industrial properties in Australian metropolitan markets. As a result of this exposure, the Fund's performance depends, in part, upon the performance of the Australian office or industrial metropolitan property markets themselves. In addition, if any of the sub-markets in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide or Canberra experiences a downturn in activity, the Fund’s performance may be adversely impacted.

Reliance on Centuria

The Fund will be reliant on the management expertise, experience, support and strategies of the key executives of Centuria. As a result, the Fund’s performance depends largely on the performance of those executives. As a consequence, loss of key personnel at Centuria could have an adverse impact on the management and performance of the Fund and therefore returns to Investors.

Environmental issues

Unforeseen environmental issues may affect any of the properties in the Fund's portfolio. These liabilities may be imposed irrespective of whether or not the Fund is responsible for circumstances to which they relate. The Fund may also be required to remediate sites affected by environmental liabilities.

The cost of remediation of sites could be substantial. In addition, if the Fund is not able to remediate the site properly, this may adversely affect its ability to sell the relevant property or to use it as collateral for future borrowings. Material expenditure may also be required to comply with new or more stringent environmental laws or regulations introduced in the future, for example in relation to climate change.

KEY RISKS

==> picture [74 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Risks specific to an investment in the Fund

Insurance

CPFL will ensure that insurance coverage is maintained in respect of each property within the Fund's portfolio (including insurance for destruction or damage to the property and public risk liability) where that coverage is available on commercial terms. Insurance coverage will include differing levels of cover for material loss or damage items such as accidental damage, flood and demolition and removal of debris. Some risks are not able to be insured at acceptable premiums. Examples of losses that are generally not insured against include war or acts of terrorism and natural phenomena such as an earthquake or hurricane.

Any losses incurred due to uninsured risks, or a loss in excess of the insured amounts, may adversely affect the performance of the Fund, and could lead to a loss of some of the capital invested by the Fund. Increases in insurance premiums may affect the performance of the Fund. Any failure by the company or companies providing insurance (or any reinsurance) may adversely affect the Fund’s right of recovery under its insurance.

Insolvency

In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Fund the claims of the Fund’s creditors will rank ahead of those of its Investors. Under such circumstances the Fund will first repay or discharge all claims of its creditors. Any surplus assets will then be distributed to the Fund’s Investors. All Investors will rank equally in their claim and will be entitled to an equal share per Stapled Security.

Development

Speculative development will not be undertaken within the Fund. However, in certain circumstances, the Fund may be exposed to development risk, resulting from the refurbishment of properties or additions and extensions to properties. Property development carries a number of risks, including: issues surrounding planning and authority approvals, which can result in delays or require amendments both of which may result in increased costs, time delays and impact the commercial viability of the development; delivery and contractual issues with building contractors; and unforeseen circumstances which cause project delays or increases to project costs.

A number of factors affect the earnings, cash flows and valuations of commercial property developments, including project costs, scheduled completion dates and securing tenants at estimated rental income.

Occupational health and safety

There is a risk that liability arising from occupational health and safety matters at a property in the Fund's portfolio may be attributable to CPFL as the landlord instead of, or as well as, the tenant. To the extent that any liabilities may be incurred by the Fund, this may impact upon the financial position and performance of the Fund (to the extent not covered by insurance). In addition, penalties may be imposed upon CPFL which may have an adverse impact on the Fund and/or CPFL.

Dilution

Investors who do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, or do not take up all of their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, will have their investment in the Fund diluted and receive no value for their entitlement. Investors may also have their investment in the Fund diluted by future capital raisings by CPFL on behalf of the Fund. CPFL may issue new Stapled Securities to finance future acquisitions or pay down debt which may, under certain circumstances, dilute the value of an Investor's interest. CPFL will only raise equity if it believes that the benefit to Investors of acquiring the relevant assets or reducing gearing is greater than the short term detriment caused by the potential dilution associated with a capital raising.

Disputes and litigation

In the ordinary course of its operations, the Fund may be involved in disputes and possible litigation. While the extent of any disputes and litigation cannot be ascertained at this time, any such dispute may be costly and impact earnings or the value of the Fund’s assets.

KEY RISKS

==> picture [74 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Risks specific to an investment in the Fund

Compliance

CPFL is subjected to strict regulatory and compliance arrangements under the Corporations Act and ASIC policy. If CPFL breaches the Corporations Act or the terms of its Australian Financial Services Licence, ASIC may take action to suspend or revoke the licence, which in turn would adversely impact the ability of CPFL to operate the Fund.

ASX listing

The Fund being listed on the ASX imposes various listing obligations with which the Fund must comply on an ongoing basis. While CPFL must comply with its listing obligations, there can be no assurance that the requirements necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.

General risks of an Investment in the Fund

General Investment

There are risks associated with any financial market investment. These include: There can be no assurance that Stapled Securities will trade at any particular price or that any capital growth of the Fund's assets will lead to a higher trading price for Stapled Securities. Past performance of Stapled Securities provides no guidance as to the future performance of Stapled Securities. The market price of Stapled Securities may be at a discount to the Fund’s NTA per Stapled Security and there can be no assurance that liquidity will be maintained in the market for the Stapled Securities as the number of buyers and sellers of Stapled Securities will vary. Changes in liquidity may affect the price at which investors are able to sell their Stapled Securities. If CPFL issues new Stapled Securities in the Fund, an existing investor's proportional interest in the Fund may be reduced, if an Investor does not reinvest their distribution while a distribution reinvestment plan is operating, then their interest in the Fund may be diluted and the market price of the Stapled Securities may be affected by factors unrelated to the operating performance of the Fund, such as those referred to under the heading ‘Macro-economic risks’ below, investor sentiment, Australian and international financial market conditions, and the performance of other property businesses and assets. The security prices for many listed entities have in recent times been subject to wide fluctuations, which in many cases may be a reflection of a diverse range of influences not specific to those listed entities.

Macro-economic

Changes in the general economic outlook both in Australia and globally may impact the performance of the Fund and its portfolio.

No guarantee of Distribution or capital return

Neither CPFL nor any other person gives a guarantee as to the amount of any income or capital return from the Stapled Securities or the performance of the Fund, nor do they guarantee the repayment of capital from the Fund.

Taxation

There may be tax implications arising from applications for Stapled Securities, the receipt of distributions (if any) and returns of capital from the Fund, and on the disposal of Stapled Securities as well as the tax regime applicable to the Fund. The Fund or an investment in the Fund can also be subject to tax risks on the basis that tax laws (including income tax, GST or stamp duty legislation) and relevant administrative practices are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. Taxation law may change due to changes in legislation, case law in Australia, rulings and determinations issued by the tax authorities.
