Distribution 38,072 19,050 100%
  1. FY06 is a 12 month period to show like for like results. However the comparative period per the statutory accounts includes 25 days in June 2005

  2. Net rental income from CHPT directly owned properties. Increase mainly due to additional properties acquired and rental growth in existing portfolio

  3. Represents distribution income from co-investments. Increase is due to launch of CPOF/CPIF/CPRF/CHUF. FY06 represents DPF distributions only

  4. Increase due to higher fund management, performance and development management fees

  5. Corporate overheads increase due mainly to higher salaries expense due to higher staff numbers (38 to 53 – or 40% increase, most have been senior executive appointments)

  6. Increase mainly due to cash temporarily held as a result of two equity raisings

  7. Non cash tax expense on the unrealised gain on CHL’s investment in Axiom Properties Limited Relates to revaluations of the following: • direct properties • investments in unlisted funds • Axiom revaluation • Mark to market hedge

Reconciliation of Underlying EPS to DPS

FY07 Cps
Underlying EPS 1 9.51
Wyllie distribution 2 0.17
DPF valuation gain 3 0.04
Procurement fee (on IPO assets) 4 0.29
20% of CPOF/CPIF valuation gain 5 0.43
DPS 10.44
  1. AIFRS EPS adjusted for AIFRS non cash expenses being mainly the share based remuneration expense and the tax expense on the unrealised gain in the investment in Axiom Properties Limited

  2. 18m securities were issued to Wyllie Group on 11 December 2006. Wyllie received a distribution for the full 6 month period to 31 December 2006. Wyllie repaid (in February 2007) the proportion of the distribution relating to the period pre issue of the securities. This has been distributed in the 2H.

  3. Represents the increase in value of CHPT’s investment in DPF.

  4. As disclosed in the PDS forecasts the procurement fee on IPO assets has been spread over 2 years from June 2005 and distributed in FY06 and FY07. The fee has been fully recognised to 30 June 2007.

  5. Represents 20% of the increase in value of CHPT’s investment in CPOF/CPIF. As new equity is issued in unlisted funds at a unit price that varies daily based on changes to asset values, CHC is distributing no more than 20% of the annual change in the value of these investments. As new equity is invested in such funds at the daily unit price, the potential to transfer such investments at the daily unit price exists. This strategy rewards CHC investors with a small portion of annual movement in value of investments held in CHC managed funds.

  3. Increase due to higher debt which increased $81m

  4. Increase mainly due to the June 2007 placement – raised $133m (note 30 June 2007 distribution is a provision and hence decreases net assets)

  5. Increase due additional CHPT assets -> eg. Bunnings portfolio and Dunedin less Tullamarine transferred to CPIF
