Dear Unitholders,

We are pleased to present the inaugural Annual Report of


Mapletree Industrial Trust for the financial year 2010 ended
31 March 2011 (FY2010).

INDUSTRIOUS BEGINNINGs
On 21 October 2010, Mapletree Industrial Trust was listed
on the Main Board of the SGX-ST as Singapores largest REIT
IPO. Gross proceeds of approximately S$938.6 million1 were
raised, drawing overwhelming response from the market with

2010 from 1 January to 31 March 2011 (4QFY2010) with
unrest in the Middle East and uncertainty of impact to the retail investors
global economy after the Japan earthquake and tsunami,
MITs unit price ended firm at S$1.05 for FY2010.

With a market capitalisation of S$1.54 billion as at 31 March


2011, MIT is the third largest industrial REIT listed on SGX-ST.

UNIQUE ROBUST ORGANIC OPPORTUNITIES


For the period from Listing Date to end of FY2010, DPU of
3.45 cents beat the Forecast by a margin of 11.3%. Net
Property Income was S$66.8 million, representing a 6.3% DPU for FY2010
increase over Forecast. Net Asset Value per Unit increased of 3.45 cents
to S$0.95 from S$0.86, due mainly to gains from revaluation
of MITs investment properties. We are pleased to deliver exceed
results exceeding Forecast on the back of healthy rental
revenue growth and continued active management on Forecast

by 11.3%
MITs portfolio has benefited from a buoyant Singapore economy
which saw Gross Domestic Product grow by 14.5% in 2010
and 8.3% in the first quarter of 2011 on a year-on-year basis2.

Average passing rental rates continued the uptrend to reach


S$1.49 per square foot per month (psf/mth) for 4QFY2010.
Average occupancy for the same period was 93.2%, the
highest level over the last preceding ten quarters. The improved

Unitholders

As a result of the portfolios relatively short WALE and improving


market sentiments, we should see rental rates for these
properties moving closer to market rates over the next 3 years.

LARGE, DIVERSIFIED AND RESILIENT PORTFOLIO


MITs 1,617 tenants (as at 31 March 2011) represented a

Diverse portfolio with


broad and diverse mix. The top 10 tenants contributed 20.5%
of the portfolios monthly gross rental revenue and no single

1,617 tenants trade sector accounted for more than 13.2% of MITs rental
revenue. MITs large and diversified portfolio with limited
dependence on any one particular trade sector had helped
to ensure stability of DPU to Unitholders.

MIT is one of the largest private industrial landlords in Singapore


with properties across various key industrial locations. The
size and scale of its portfolio offer cost and operational
advantages. MIT is also able to meet the real estate needs of
existing and new tenants with its broad offering of business
space ranging from generic multi-tenanted clusters to specialised
Built-to-Suit facilities.

RELEVANCE THROUGH ACTIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT


In February 2011, MIT completed its first asset enhancement
initiative INNO CENTRE, which involved the conversion of

Light Industrial Building,


Tata Communications Exchange

12
a flatted factory floor to e-business space at Redhill 2 cluster.
Through the asset enhancement, we were able to secure better
rental rates for the e-business space compared to conventional
flatted factory space. The conversion was a demonstration
of MITs continual commitment to rejuvenate existing assets
through innovative initiatives.

In addition to renewal of assets, we have begun assessing


the opportunity of developing available land and under-utilised
plot ratios within the current portfolio to increase gross floor
area. For selected projects, we are in the pre-marketing phase
to seek initial commitment from prospective tenants.

REPUTABLE SPONSOR
Tata Communications Exchange, a six-storey data centre and
corporate headquarters for leading global telecommunications
company, Tata Communications International Pte. Ltd., was
completed in April 2010. Tata Communications Exchange received
the Gold Award from the prestigious Leadership in Energy and Awards for Tata
Environmental Design (LEED) and Green Mark Gold Award by
Building and Construction Authority of Singapore (BCA) for
Communications Exchange
exceeding the standards for sustainability in buildings. LEED Gold
The successful development represents the ability of the Award and
Manager to rely on the Sponsors expertise in developing
Built-to-Suit projects where the design and construction of
BCA Green
industrial facilities is tailored to specialised business needs. The
Sponsors experience in developing and managing more than
Mark Gold
S$15.4 billion (as at 31 March 2011) of office, logistics, industrial, Award
residential and retail/lifestyle properties across Asia provides
MIT the technical know-how and experience to leverage on.

PROACTIVE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


As at 31 March 2011, MIT maintained gross borrowings of
S$837.0 million with staggered loan maturities between two
to five years. To diversify the source of debt funding, a medium
term note programme is being established. As of 31 March
2011, about 68% of MITs floating rate borrowings had been
hedged into fixed rate borrowings through interest rate swaps.

Since listing, MIT had also entered into relevant forward start
interest rate swaps transactions to extend the existing hedges.
The average cost of debt remained low at 2.3% during the period
after listing. The gearing ratio was reduced slightly to 36.1%, due
to the positive revaluation of MITs investment properties.

FOSTERING TENANT RELATIONSHIPS


Over the year, we have launched various initiatives to foster
stronger tenant relationships. The first issue of Citrus, a
Mapletree Industrial newsletter, was launched in July 2010 to
bridge the information gap through the illustration of news around
various property clusters, promotion of tenants businesses,
raising awareness of safety issues and other building matters.
The second issue of Citrus was published in February 2011
where electronic copies went out to almost 3,000 subscribers,
including tenants, business partners and the general public.

grow steadily with the general economy. We anticipate the


demand for industrial properties in Singapore to remain
healthy in the next 12 months. MIT will focus on growing the
portfolio organically through positive rental reversions to market
while seeking suitable asset enhancement and investment
opportunities.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We would like to thank all Unitholders for their support, both
at the IPO stage and post listing. The strong signal from the
market is a vote of confidence in the Managers ability to
grow the portfolios assets under management and deliver
sustainable returns. We would like to pay a special tribute to
the staff, many of whom have been managing the portfolio
properties for several years prior to the IPO. Reaching
this milestone would not have been possible without their
commitment and hard work.

Corporate
Governance

The Manager is mandated with the general powers of management of the assets of MIT. The Managers
primary responsibility is to manage the assets and liabilities of MIT for the benefit of Unitholders in
accordance with the terms of the trust deed constituting MIT (Trust Deed) as well as the applicable laws
and regulations. The terms of appointment of the Manager are set out in the Trust Deed.

The strategy of MIT is set by the Manager and the Manager gives recommendations to DBS Trustee
Limited, as trustee of MIT (the Trustee), on acquisition, divestment or enhancement of assets of MIT, in
accordance with the investment objective and mandate.

The Board of Directors of the Manager is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Manager,
taking into account the basic principles and spirit of the Code of Corporate Governance (the Code). Internal
control processes have been developed to both comply with the Code and meet the Managers business
needs in the best interests of MITs Unitholders.

All directors and employees of the Manager are remunerated by the Manager, and not by MIT.

The Manager is licensed for REIT Management with a Capital Markets Services License by the Monetary
Authority of Singapore.

1 BOARD MATTERS
Boards Conduct of its Affairs
Principle 1: Every company should be headed by an effective Board to lead and control the company.

Policy and Practices
The Manager is committed to the principle that an effective board for the Manager is one constituted
with the right core competencies and diversity of experience to enable them in their collective
wisdom to contribute effectively. Every director shall act in good faith, provide insights and consider,
at all times, the interests of MIT.

The key roles of the Board are to:


guide the corporate strategy and objectives of the Manager;
ensure that senior management discharges business leadership with the highest quality of
management skills including integrity and enterprise; and
oversee the proper conduct of the Managers affairs.

The positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) are held by two separate persons in
order to maintain effective oversight.

The Board comprises 9 directors, of whom 8 are non-executive directors and 3 are independent.

The following sets out information regarding the directors:


Mr Wong Meng Meng, Chairman and Non-Executive Director
Mr Soo Nam Chow, Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee and Independent Director
Mr Seah Choo Meng, Independent Director
Mr Wee Joo Yeow, Independent Director
Mr John Koh Tiong Lu, Non-Executive Director
Mr Hiew Yoon Khong, Non-Executive Director
Mr Wong Mun Hoong, Non-Executive Director
Mr Phua Kok Kim, Non-Executive Director
Mr Tham Kuo Wei, Executive Director

The Board comprises business leaders and professionals with distinguished banking, business, financial
and legal backgrounds. Profiles of the directors are found on pages 18 to 22 of this Annual Report.
They meet regularly, at least once every quarter, to deliberate the strategies of MIT, including funding
and hedging activities, approve the annual budget and review operational and financial performances
of MIT. Four board meetings were held for the period from 21 October 2010 to 31 March 2011.
28
1 BOARD MATTERS (Contd)
Boards Conduct of its Affairs (Contd)
Policy and Practices (Contd)
The Manager believes that contributions from each director are manifested beyond the reporting of
attendance of each director at Board and committee meetings. A director would have been appointed
on the strength of his calibre, experience, stature, and potential to give proper guidance to the Manager
and its businesses.

Each director contributes in many different ways, including managements access to him for guidance
or exchange of views outside the formal environment of Board meetings. In addition, each director
brings experienced perspicacity and strategic networking relationships that further the interests
of MIT.

The Board has approved a set of internal controls which sets out approval limits at the Board level
for capital expenditures, investments and divestments, bank borrowings and cheque signatory
arrangements. Approval sub-limits are also provided at various management levels to facilitate
operational efficiency.

Changes to regulations and accounting standards are overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee.
To keep pace with regulatory changes, where these changes have an important bearing on the
Managers or the directors disclosure obligations, directors are briefed either during Board meetings
or at specially-convened sessions conducted by professionals or by way of legislative updates
prepared by the management.

Newly-appointed directors are given briefings by the management on the business activities and
strategic directions of the Manager and MIT.

All directors are also provided with relevant information on the Managers policies and procedures
relating to governance issues including disclosure of interests in securities, prohibitions on dealings in
MITs securities, restrictions on disclosure of price sensitive information and the disclosure of interests
relating to certain property transactions.

Board Composition and Balance


Principle 2: There should be a strong and independent element on the Board, which is able to
exercise objective judgment on corporate affairs independently, in particular, from management. No
individual or small group of individuals should be allowed to dominate the Boards decision making.

Policy and Practices


The Manager is committed to the principle that at least 1/3 of its directors are independent and
the majority of its directors are non-executive. This enables the management to benefit from their
external, diverse and objective perspective on issues that are brought before the Board. The Board
interacts and works with management through a robust exchange of ideas and views to help shape
the strategic process of MIT. This, together with a clear separation of the role of the Chairman and
the CEO, provides a healthy professional relationship between the Board and management with
clarity of roles and oversight as they deliberate on the business activities of the Manager and MIT.

The Board is supported by the Audit and Risk Committee. Membership of the Audit and Risk
Committee is managed to maximise the effectiveness of the Committee and foster active participation
and contribution. Diversity of experience and appropriate skills are also considered.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer


Principle 3: There should be a clear division of responsibilities at the top of the company the working
of the Board and the executive responsibility of the companys business which will ensure a balance
of power and authority, such that no one individual represents a considerable concentration of power.

29
Corporate
Governance

1 BOARD MATTERS (Contd)


Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (Contd)
Policy and Practices
The Manager is committed to the principle of a clear separation of the roles and responsibilities
between the Chairman of the Board and the CEO of the Manager. The Chairman, who is non-executive,
is responsible for the Board and is free to act independently in the best interests of the Manager and
MITs Unitholders. The CEO is responsible for the running of the Managers operations.

The Chairman is responsible for the overall management of the Board as well as ensuring that the
members of the Board and the management work together with integrity, competency and moral
authority, and that the Board engages the management in constructive debates on strategy, business
operations, enterprise risk and other plans.

The CEO is a Board member and has full executive responsibilities over the business directions and
operational decisions in the day-to-day management of the Manager. The CEO, in consultation with the
Chairman, schedules Board meetings on a regular basis and finalises the preparation of the meeting
agenda. He ensures the quality and timeliness of the flow of information between the management
and the Board. He is also responsible for ensuring compliance with corporate governance guidelines.

Board Membership
Principle 4: There should be a formal and transparent process for the appointment of new directors
to the Board. As a principle of good corporate governance, all directors should be required to submit
themselves for re-nomination and re-election at regular intervals.

Policy and Practices


The Manager is committed to the principle that the Board renewal is an ongoing process to ensure
good governance and maintain relevance to the changing needs of the Manager and MITs business.

The CEO, where he is also a Board member, must also subject himself to retirement and re-election.

Board Performance
Principle 5: There should be a formal assessment of the effectiveness of the board as a whole and
the contribution by each director to the effectiveness of the board.

Policy and Practices


The Manager is committed to the principle that the Boards performance is ultimately reflected in the
performance of the Manager. The measure of Boards performance is measured through its ability
to lend support to the management especially in times of crisis and to steer the Manager in the
right direction.

The Board has used its best efforts to ensure that directors appointed to the Board possess the
background, experience and knowledge in technology, business, finance, legal and management
skills critical to the Managers business and that each director, through his or her unique contributions,
brings to the Board an independent and objective perspective to enable balanced and well
considered decisions to be made.

Access to Information
Principle 6: In order to fulfill their responsibilities, Board members should be provided with complete,
adequate and timely information prior to Board meetings and on an ongoing basis.

Policy and Practices


The Manager is committed to the principle that the Board shall be provided with timely and complete
information prior to Board meetings and also as and when the need arises.

New Board members are fully briefed on the businesses of the Manager and MIT. The management
is required to provide adequate and timely information to the Board on the affairs and issues of MIT
that require the Boards decision as well as ongoing reports relating to the operational and financial
performances of MIT.

30
1 BOARD MATTERS (Contd)
Access to Information (Contd)
Policy and Practices (Contd)
The Board has separate and independent access to the management team and the Company
Secretary, as well as to all statutory records of the Manager. The Joint Company Secretary attends to
the administration of corporate secretarial matters and attends all Board and committee meetings.

The Board takes independent professional advice as and when necessary to enable it or the
independent directors to discharge their responsibilities effectively. The Audit and Risk Committee meets
the external and internal auditors separately at least once a year, without the presence of management.

2 REMUNERATION MATTERS
Procedures for Developing Remuneration Policies
Principle 7: There should be a formal and transparent procedure for fixing the remuneration packages
of individual directors. No director should be involved in deciding his own remuneration.

The Manager is committed to the principle that remuneration matters are structured and benchmarked
to good market practices. This enables the Manager to attract suitably qualified talents to grow and
manage MITs business.

Level and Mix of Remuneration


Principle 8: The level of remuneration should be appropriate to attract, retain and motivate the
directors needed to run the company successfully but companies should avoid paying more for this
purpose. A proportion of the remuneration, especially that of executive directors, should be linked
to performance.

Disclosure on Remuneration
Principle 9: Each company should provide clear disclosure of its remuneration policy, level and mix
of remuneration, and the procedure for setting remuneration, in the companys annual report.

Policy and Practices


The Manager is committed to the principle that remuneration for the Board and key executives
should not be taken in isolation. It should be linked to the development of management bench
strength and key executives to ensure that there is robust talent management and renewal of
strong and sound leadership for the continued success of the Manager and MITs business. The
Executive Resource and Compensation Committee (ERCC) of the Sponsor at group level serves
the crucial role of helping to ensure that the Manager is able to recruit and retain the best talents to
drive the business forward.

The members of the Sponsors ERCC are:


Mr Edmund Cheng Wai Wing (Chairman)
Mr Paul Ma Kah Woh (Member)
Ms Chan Wai Ching, Managing Director, Temasek International Pte Ltd (Co-opted Member)

All the members of the ERCC are independent of the management. The Chairman is a non-executive
director who is independent of the management, with a clear separation of his role from the management
in deliberations of the ERCC. From time to time, the Manager may co-opt an outside member into
the ERCC to provide a global perspective of talent management and remuneration practices.

The ERCC oversees executive compensation and development for the Manager, with the aim of
building a capable and committed management team through competitive compensation, focused
management and progressive policies which can attract, motivate and retain a pool of talented
executives to meet the current and future growth of the Manager.

2 REMUNERATION MATTERS (Contd)


Disclosure on Remuneration (Contd)
Policy and Practices (Contd)
Specifically, the ERCC will:
approve the renumeration framework (including directors fees) for non-executive directors;
establish compensation policies for key executives;
approve salary reviews, bonuses and incentives for key executives;
approve key appointments and review succession plans for key positions; and
oversee the development of key executives and younger talented executives.

The ERCC conducts, on an annual basis, a succession planning review of the CEO and selected key
positions in the Managers operations. Potential internal and external candidates for succession are
reviewed for different time horizons of immediate, medium term and longer term needs.

The ERCC has access to expert professional advice on human resource matters whenever there is
a need to consult externally. In its deliberations, the ERCC takes into consideration industry practices
and norms in compensation. The CEO is not present during the discussions relating to his own
compensation and terms and conditions of service, and the review of his performance.

The CEO as executive director does not receive directors fees. He is a lead member of the
management. His compensation consists of his salary, allowances, bonuses and share appreciation
awards. The latter is conditional upon his meeting certain performance targets. Mr Hiew Yoon Khong,
Mr Wong Mun Hoong and Mr Phua Kok Kim, respectively the Group Chief Executive Officer, the
Group Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer, Industrial of the Sponsor, also do not
receive directors fees for serving as directors of the Manager.

3 ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT


Accountability
Principle 10: The Board is accountable to the shareholders while the management is accountable to
the Board.

Policy and Practices
The Manager is committed to the principle to promote best practices so as to build an excellent
base to deliver maximum sustainable value to MITs Unitholders and is accountable to MITs
Unitholders for MITs performance.

Prompt fulfillment of statutory reporting requirements is but one way to maintain the stakeholders
confidence and trust in the Managers capability and integrity.

Audit and Risk Committee (AC)


Principle 11: The Board should establish an AC with written terms of reference which clearly set out
its authority and duties.

Policy and Practices


The Manager is committed to the principle that the AC shall have at least 3 members, all of whom
must be non executive and the majority of whom must be independent.

The AC consists of 3 members. They are:


Mr Soo Nam Chow, Chairman
Mr Seah Choo Meng, Member
Mr John Koh Tiong Lu, Member

32
3 ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT (Contd)
Audit and Risk Committee (AC) (Contd)
Policy and Practices (Contd)
The AC members bring with them invaluable managerial and professional expertise in the financial
and business domains. The AC has a set of Terms of Reference defining its scope of authority which
includes review of the annual audit plan, the adequacy of the internal audit process, results of audit
findings and the managements response, the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls as
well as Interested Person Transactions. The AC reviews quarterly, half-yearly and annual financial
statements and the appointment and re-appointment of auditors before recommending them to
the Board for approval. The AC also approves the compensation of the external auditors as well as
considers the nature and extent of non-audit services and their potential impact on the independence
and objectivity of the external auditors.

The AC meets with the external and internal auditors, without the presence of the management,
at least once a year to discuss the reasonableness of the financial reporting process, system of
internal control, significant comments and recommendations.

The Manager has implemented a Whistle-Blowing Policy, which was approved by the Board, and
the AC is tasked with the review of arrangements by which staff may, in confidence, raise concerns
about possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting or other matters. The objective is to
ensure that arrangements are in place for independent investigations of such matters and for
appropriate follow-up actions.

The Managers policies and procedures relating to Risk Management can be found on pages 65 to 66
of this report.

One AC meeting was held for the period from 21 October 2010 to 31 March 2011.

Internal Controls
Principle 12: The Board should ensure that the management maintains a sound system of internal
controls to safeguard the shareholders investments and the companys assets.

The Manager is committed to the principle of a sound system of internal controls, including rules for
the dealings in MIT units by Board members and employees.

As a matter of internal policy, the directors and employees of the Manager are prohibited from dealing
in MIT units:
in the period commencing one month before the public announcement of MITs annual and
semi-annual results and MITs property valuations;
in the period commencing two weeks before the public announcement of MITs quarterly results
and MITs property valuations; and
At any time whilst in possession of price-sensitive information.

Each director is required to give notice to the Manager of his acquisition of MIT units or of changes
in the number of MIT units which he holds or in which he has an interest, within 2 business days
of such acquisition or change of interest.

Generally, all employees of the Sponsor are required to send a pre-trading notification email to the
compliance officer through a designated pre-trading email account, before trading in any units of
Mapletree REITs, including MIT.

The Manager has also established an internal control system to ensure that all related party
transactions are undertaken only on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the
interests of the MIT Unitholders. As a general rule, the Manager must demonstrate to the AC that
such criteria are followed and this would entail obtaining one or more valuations of properties,
where appropriate, from independent professional valuers. The AC regularly reviews all related party
transactions to ensure compliance with the internal control system as well as with relevant provisions
of the Listing Manual and the Property Fund Guidelines. In addition, the Trustee also has the right
to review such transactions to ascertain that the Property Fund Guidelines have been complied with.
33
Corporate
Governance

3 ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT (Contd)


Internal Controls (Contd)
Further, the following rules will be adhered to:
transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with other related party
during the same financial year) equal to or exceeding S$100,000 in value but below 3.0% of
the value of MITs net tangible assets will be subject to review by the AC at regular intervals;

transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with other related party during
the same financial year) equal to or exceeding 3.0% but below 5.0% of the value of MITs net
tangible assets will be subject to the review and prior approval of the AC. Such approval shall only
be given if the transactions are on normal commercial terms and are consistent with similar types
of transactions made by the Trustee with third parties which are unrelated to the Manager; and

transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with other related party during
the same financial year) equal to or exceeding 5.0% of the value of MITs net tangible assets will
be reviewed and approved prior to such transactions being entered into, on the basis described in
the preceding paragraph, by the AC which may, as it deems fit, request advice on the transaction
from independent sources or advisers, including the obtaining of valuations from independent
professional valuers. Further, under the Listing Manual and the Property Fund Guidelines, such
transactions would have to be approved by the MIT Unitholders at a meeting of the MIT Unitholders.

The fees and charges payable by MIT to the Manager under the Trust Deed and to the Property
Manager under the Master Property Management Agreement (collectively, the Exempted Agreements),
constitutes related party transactions. However, in accordance with the disclosure made in the IPO
Prospectus dated 12 October 2010, these fees and charges are deemed to have been specifically
approved by the MIT Unitholders upon their subscription for the Units and are therefore no longer
subject to Rules 905 and 906 of the Listing Manual.

The Trustee has the ultimate discretion under the Trust Deed to decide whether or not to enter into
a transaction involving a related party of the Manager or MIT. If the Trustee is to sign any contract
with a related party of the Manager or MIT, the Trustee will review the contract to ensure that it
complies with the requirements relating to interested party transactions in the Property Fund Guidelines
and the provisions of the Listing Manual relating to interested person transactions as well as the Trust
Deed and such other guidelines as may from time to time be prescribed by the Monetary Authority of
Singapore and/or the SGX-ST.

Principle 13: The company should establish an internal audit function that is independent of the
activities it audits.

Policy and Practices


The Manager is committed to the principle of a system of internal audit to check on processes of
internal controls to safeguard MIT Unitholders interests, MITs assets, and to manage risks. Apart from
the AC, other Board committees may be set up from time to time to address specific issues or risks.
The Internal Audit Department (IA) of the Sponsor reports directly to the Chairman of the AC of both
the Manager and the Sponsor.

The mission of IA is to conduct internal audit work in consultation with, but independently of, the
management and its plan is submitted to the AC for approval at the beginning of each year. The AC
must also meet with the IA at least once a year without the presence of the management.

IA is a corporate member of the Singapore branch of the Institute of Internal Auditors Inc. (IIA),
which has its headquarters in the USA. IA subscribes to, and is guided by the Standards for the
Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) developed by the IIA and has incorporated
these standards into its audit practices.

provides training and development opportunities to the staff.

4 COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS


Principle 14: Companies should engage in regular, effective and fair communication with shareholders.

Greater shareholder participation


Principle 15: Companies should encourage greater shareholder participation at Annual General
Meetings, and allow shareholders the opportunity to communicate their views on various matters
affecting the company.

Policy and Practices


The Manager is committed to the principle of regular and timely communication with MITs
Unitholders to promote better understanding of MITs business, and to cultivate a system of effective
disclosure to its key stakeholders.

The Manager regularly communicates major developments in MITs businesses and operations to
the Unitholders, analysts, the media and its employees. The Manager issues announcements and
press releases on MITs latest corporate developments on an immediate basis where required under
the Listing Manual, and all announcements as well as press releases are available on its website.
Where immediate disclosure is not practicable, the relevant announcement is made as soon as
possible to ensure that all stakeholders and the public have equal access to the information.

The Manager has its own Investor Relations department which works with the Legal and Corporate
Secretariat Department of the Sponsor to ensure MITs compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements applicable to listed companies/REITs, as well as to incorporate best practices in its
investor relations programme.

The Manager communicates with MITs investors on a regular basis and attend to their queries.
The summary annual report is sent to Unitholders. The annual report is also sent to Unitholders
upon request without charge. The AGM notice is also published via SGXNET. The CEO, Chief Financial
Officer (CFO) and senior management of the Manager are present at such communication sessions
to answer questions.

The first AGM will take place on 19 July 2011 and the Manager plans to solicit feedback in order to
better plan and prepare for future AGMs.

The Manager always announce MITs financial results via SGXNET first. The Manager also holds
analysts briefings of its financial results for its half-year and full-year results. The full year briefing is
also available via webcast to the media, public and all Unitholders via MITs website to ensure that
there is fair and equal disclosure of information.

1 Active Asset Management Strategy


The Managers primary strategy is the maximisation of the organic potential of the portfolio through
active asset management. Key areas of focus include proactive leasing and marketing, delivering
quality service and customised solutions, improving operational efficiency to reduce operating cost
and implementing asset enhancement initiatives.

Proactive Leasing and Marketing Initiatives


When engaging tenants for renewal of their leases, the Manager considers the tenants business
needs and nature of operations, as well as their payment track record. The Manager employs proactive
leasing and marketing initiatives which include:

negotiating renewals 6 months in advance of lease expiry to minimise downtime and opportunity cost;
identifying expiring leases which are below market rents and re-contracting them at higher levels
upon renewal of these leases;
identifying growing trade sectors and hunting for prospects in these trade sectors;
monitoring rental arrears to mimimise defaults; and
attracting tenants in similar or complementary businesses to the same properties so as to increase
tenant stickiness.
36
Deliver Quality Service and Customised Solutions
The Manager intends to continue providing high quality services to tenants. This includes customising
solutions for existing and prospective tenants. Other initiatives include:

providing high quality asset management services to maintain high tenant retention rate;
providing additional value-added services for tenants, such as transportation services and on-site
amenities;
improving responsiveness to tenants feedback and enquiries;
reviewing facility management services regularly to ensure service standards are met; and
accommodating tenants with changing business needs by offering alternative locations within the
portfolio.

Improve Operational Efficiency to Reduce Operating Cost


In an inflationary environment, the Manager is cognizant of rising costs and tries to improve operational
efficiency and minimise operating costs through the following ways:

leveraging on the large portfolio to achieve economies of scale and cost savings through bulk
sourcing of services and supplies;
monitoring the portfolios overall energy needs, consumption patterns and operational efficiency of
equipment; and
embarking on new energy saving initiatives to reduce the overall energy consumption and improve
cost efficiency.

Implement Asset Enhancement Initiatives


Reviewing the need for asset enhancements is an ongoing process for the Manager. Dedicated
Asset Managers are assigned to manage each property cluster and explore asset enhancement
initiatives to continually improve the product offering. Initiatives include:

enhancing/upgrading existing business space with improved specifications;


reconfiguring unusable space to increase leasable area;
improving exterior signages, lighting, restroom facilities and other aesthetic aspects of the
buildings; and
improving surrounding infrastructure and amenities.

2 Acquisition Growth and Selective Development Strategy
The Manager plans to selectively explore acquisition and development opportunities and will target
projects which add value or provide strategic benefits to the existing portfolio. The considerations
include potential of enhancement of returns, improvement of tenant profile and quality, portfolio
diversification and strengthening of competitive position. Periodically, the Manager will further review
the feasibility of divesting properties which have reached a stage of limited income growth. Sale
proceeds from such divestments can be reinvested in better opportunities. The Manager will actively
source for acquisition and development opportunities through its network of real estate industry
players, public agencies, referrals from existing tenants as well as from the Sponsor.

Acquisition Growth Strategy


The Manager will focus on the following investment criteria to evaluate the viability of potential
acquisitions:

impact on distributions focusing on properties with income yields above its weighted average
cost of capital and sustainable long term growth prospects;
location identifying properties which are located in established industrial precincts and with
close proximity to major roads, expressways or MRT stations;
lease expiry profile focusing on properties with longer leases to extend the weighted average
lease expiry of the Portfolio;

37
Strategy

asset enhancement potential considering properties where there is potential to add value to the
properties by increasing occupancy, incurring capital expenditure selectively and/or undertaking
other asset enhancement initiatives;
building and facilities specification selecting properties with quality specifications. These
specifications will depend on the type of property and may change over time due to market
developments and tenant demands. Such specifications may include, but are not limited to,
adequate floor load capacity, sufficient clear usable ceiling heights, regular floor plates and
adequate power provision;
tenant composition identifying properties which have (i) tenants with good credit quality particularly
for master lease/purpose built properties, (ii) diverse sector mix for multi-tenanted properties and
(iii) established and reputable tenants; and
land lease tenure focusing on properties with longer underlying land lease tenure to extend the
underlying land lease maturity profile of its Portfolio.

Selective Development Strategy


On a selective basis, the Manager will undertake developments which add value to the existing
Portfolio. The Manager will explore Built-to-Suit developments that can cater to prospective tenants
operational requirements. Such developments usually come with long term leases which will help
to extend the lease expiry profile of the Portfolio. The Manager will also consider development of
unutilised gross floor area within the Portfolio to unlock real estate value. In carrying out development
activities, the Manager will consider, among other things, development and construction risks, as
well as the overall benefits to Unitholders and the tenants.

3 Capital and Risk Management Strategy


The key objectives of the Managers capital management strategy are to:

maintain a strong balance sheet;


employ an appropriate mix of debt and equity in financing acquisitions;
diversify funding sources to access both financial institutions and capital markets;
optimise cost of debt financing; and
adopt appropriate interest rates hedging strategies to minimise exposure to market volatility.

MITs gross borrowings of S$837.0 million were structured with staggered loan maturities of two,
three, four and five years from 27 September 2010 with weighted average expiry of 2.9 years as at
31 March 2011. As at 31 March 2011, about 68% of MITs floating rate borrowings have been hedged
into fixed rate borrowings through interest rate swaps. Since listing, MIT has also entered into
forward start interest rates swap transactions to extend the expiry dates of the existing hedges.
MITs aggregate leverage ratio was reduced from 38.5% at IPO to 36.1% as at 31 March 2011,
driven by the positive revaluation of MITs investment properties. The average cost of debt remained
low at 2.3% per annum. To diversify the sources of debt funding, the Manager is in the process of
establishing a medium term note programme.

1 MACROECONOMIC TRENDS
1.1 Review of economic performance in the past year
Singapores Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 14.5% year-on-year (YoY) in 2010, according to
the Ministry of Trade & Industry (MTI). This was a strong rebound from a 0.8% contraction in 2009,
in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

The Singapore economy continued to grow by 8.3% YoY for the period January to March 2011
(1Q2011), based on the latest figures released by the MTI. Growth was led by the 13.1% YoY
expansion in the manufacturing sector which was driven by the biomedical manufacturing, precision
engineering and electronics clusters on the back of a pick-up in value-added production and business
investments in the region.

1.2 Economic outlook


Singapore could face downside risks, including the increasing risks of inflationary pressures, global
supply disruptions due to natural calamities, increasing oil prices due to the political turmoil in the
Middle East and North Africa region as well as the rising uncertainties from euro zone sovereign debt
crisis. However, external macroeconomic conditions are expected to remain supportive of growth in
2011. Coupled by the above-trend and broad-based expansion in the 1Q2011 and the expected
boost to growth from industry-specific factors for the rest of the year, the MTI has upped its GDP
growth forecast for 2011 from 4.0% - 6.0% to 5.0% - 7.0%.

2 MULTI-USER FACTORY MARKET OVERVIEW


2.1 Existing and potential supply
Singapore held a total of 8.4 million square metres (sq m) of multi-user factory space as of
4Q2010, after the completion of 136,000 sq m in 2010, according to data sourced from the Urban
Redevelopment Authority (URA). In 1Q2011, a further addition of 69,000 sq m of space brought
the total tally of multi-user factory space to about 8.5 million sq m as of end-March 2011. Based
on URAs statistics and Colliers Internationals estimates as of 1Q2011, some 0.9 million sq m1 (net
floor area) of new multi-user factory space is projected to be completed between 2Q2011 and 2015.

Note that the level of potential supply could increase due to new projects that may be proposed in the next one to
two years.

2.2 Demand and occupancy


Buoyed by increased needs of businesses for multi-user factory space due to booming economic
conditions, net new demand for multi-user factory space amounted to 241,000 sq m in 2010, exceeding
the net new supply of 136,000 sq m in the same period.

Strong demand for multi-user factory space continued into 2011 with net new demand totalling 84,000
sq m and outpacing the 69,000 sq m completed in 1Q2011. Occupancy rates for multi-user factory
space hence increased to 90.0% by 1Q2011, from 88.3% in 1Q2010.

2.3 Rents of multi-user factory space
According to rental data from the URA as of 4Q2010, the monthly 25th percentile2 rents of multi-user
factory space rebounded by 7.1% in 2010 to reach S$1.50 per sq ft (S$16.15 per sq m), on the back
of strengthening demand. In 1Q2011, the monthly 25th percentile rents remained stable at S$1.50
per sq ft (S$16.15 per sq m), while the monthly median and 75th percentile3 rents stood at S$1.80
per sq ft (S$19.38 per sq m) and S$2.20 per sq ft (S$23.68 per sq m), respectively.

2.4 Outlook
The healthy economic and manufacturing growth forecast for Singapore in 2011 could spur new facility
set-ups and business expansion plans by firms, and in turn provide support for a boost in demand for
multi-user factory space.

In the light of this, and despite the slight increase in potential supply averaging about 200,000 sq m
annually between 2011 and 2015, compared to the ten-year annual average of 148,000 sq m from
2001 to 2010, occupancy levels are expected to remain at healthy levels. Additionally, an estimated
50% of the new supply from 2011 to 2015 is expected to be from strata-titled projects for sale and
hence less likely to compete directly in the leasing market and any downward pressure on rents is
expected to be muted. Multi-user factory rents are expected to remain robust, and to strengthen
by up to 15% in 2011.

3 STACK-UP FACTORY MARKET OVERVIEW


3.1 Existing and potential supply
Based on Colliers Internationals estimates as of 1Q2011, Singapore held a total of 474,140 sq m
of stack-up factory space, representing 5.6% of total multi-user factory space. There were no new
additions of stack-up factory space in 2010.

As of 1Q 2011, the only stack-up factory development in the pipeline is the 105,136 sq m West Park
BizCentral that is scheduled for completion in December 2011. Once completed, it will boost the
stock of stack-up factories by 22.2% to 579,276 sq m.

2
As the stock of multi-user factories comprises developments with varying building specifications to which
rents are sensitive, the 25th percentile rents from URAs Real Estate Information System (REALIS) would be
reflective of conventional flatted factories with basic specifications.
3
The median and 75th percentile rents would be reflective of those commanded by high-tech and high-
specifications multi-user factories, respectively.

3.2 Demand and occupancy


According to estimates by Colliers International, as of 1Q2011, approximately 443,100 sq m of stack-
up factory space was occupied, which translated to an occupancy rate of 93.5%.

3.3 Rents of stack-up factory space


As of 1Q2011, stack-up factory space in Singapore is estimated to command average monthly gross
rents of around S$1.10 per sq ft (S$11.84 per sq m) to S$2.20 per sq ft (S$23.68 per sq m), depending
on the location, age, as well as design and functional specifications of the stack-up factory buildings.

3.4 Outlook
Given that occupancy for current stack-up factory space remains healthy, and demand for new stack-
up factories spaces is expected to outpace limited upcoming supply, this will lend support for rents to
edge up by up to 15% in the whole of 2011.

4 SINGLE-USER4 FACTORY MARKET OVERVIEW


4.1 Existing and potential supply
Singapores islandwide stock of single-user factory space stood at 20.9 million sq m as of end 2010,
a 1.6% increase from 4Q2009. As of 1Q2011, the stock of single-user factories expanded to some
21.0 million sq m, following the net addition of 70,000 sq m of space during the quarter. According to
the URA and Colliers Internationals estimates as of 1Q2011, about 1.1 million sq m5 (net floor area) of
new single-user factory space is expected to be completed between the rest of 2011 and 2015.

4.2 Demand and occupancy


Underpinned by an expansion in manufacturing output production, which gave rise to the need for
more single-user factory space, islandwide demand for such space increased by 565,000 sq m in
2010, to total 19.9 million sq m as of 4Q2010. The strong economic growth in 1Q2011 supported an
additional take-up of 125,000 sq m of space by businesses in the same period. With net new demand
outpacing the net new supply of 70,000 sq m in 1Q2011, islandwide occupancy rates of single-user
factories strengthened to 95.5% as of 1Q2011 from 95.2% in 4Q2010.

4
Single-user factories are occupied predominantly by a single party and used for purposes solely related to that
occupier. These are typically land-based properties comprising a mix of standard factories or purpose-built facilities.
Land-based properties are often the preferred building forms for firms engaged in the manufacturing or storage of bulky
goods. The single-user factory market may be used as a benchmark for MITs portfolio of light industrial buildings.

Note that the level of potential supply could increase due to new projects that may be proposed in the next one to
two years.

4.4 Outlook
The outlook for the demand of single-user factory space in Singapore remains positive, on the back
of healthy economic fundamentals as well as the governments continued commitment to stimulate
growth in the manufacturing sector and provide a pro-business environment. Meanwhile, with net new
supply of single-user factory space slowing down to around 227,000 sq m per annum between 2011
and 2015, compared to the average of 376,000 sq m yearly between 2001 and 2010, occupancy rates
are expected to continue to strengthen. Rents of single-user factory space are expected to strengthen
by up to 10% in 2011.

5.1 Existing and potential supply
URAs latest data showed that, with the addition of some 196,000 sq m of new business park space
in 2010, the islandwide stock of business park space amounted to 1.4 million sq m as of end 2010. In
1Q2011, an additional 28,000 sq m of new business park space was completed, bringing the total
stock to 1.43 million sq m as of 1Q2011.

According to URAs statistics and Colliers Internationals estimates as of 1Q2011, an estimated 430,000

5.2 Demand and occupancy


The business park market has increasingly been positioned as an alternative to office space, particularly
when office rents sped off on the back of robust demand.

After a demand contraction in 2009, net new demand for business park space increased by 85,000 sq m
in 2010. In 1Q2011, an additional 54,000 sq m of business park space was absorbed amid a slower
increase in supply by 28,000 sq m during the period. Islandwide occupancy rate of business park space
hence increased to 77.8% by 1Q2011, up from 75.5% as of end 2010.

5.4 Outlook
Demand for business park space is expected to continue to improve as increasing number of
companies and businesses progress up the value chain. The strength of the finance and business
services sectors is also expected to provide support for business parks as companies increasingly
choose to locate and expand their supporting businesses in business parks instead of traditional office
premises, given the expected widening rental gap and the narrowing gap in offerings between the two
types of spaces.

With new supply of business park space averaging about 92,000 sq m per annum between 2011 and
2015, slightly lower than the average annual net new supply of 95,000 sq m between 2003 and 2010,
demand and occupancy is expected to remain fairly resilient. As such, median rents of business park
space could strengthen by about 5% to 10% in 2011, barring any unforeseen external shocks.

and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements; whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by the Manager, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MIT and of the Group
as at 31 March 2011, the total return, amount distributable and movements in Unitholders funds of MIT and the Group
and consolidated cash flows of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2011 in accordance with the Statement of
Recommended Accounting Practice 7 Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts issued by the Institute of Certified Public
Accountants of Singapore.

Investment properties comprise a portfolio of industrial buildings that are leased to external customers.

The carrying amounts of the Singapore investment properties were based on independent valuations as at 31 March 2011. The valuations
were undertaken by Colliers International Consultancy and Valuation (S) Pte Ltd, an independent valuer. Colliers International Consultancy and
Valuation (S) Pte Ltd has appropriate professional qualifications and experience in the location and category of the properties being valued. The
valuations of the investment properties were based on the income capitalisation method, discounted cash flow method and direct comparison
method. The net movement in valuation has been taken to the Statement of Total Return. It is the intention of the Group and MIT to hold the
investment properties for the long term.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2011

2. Significant accounting policies


2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Accounting Practice 7
(RAP 7) Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts issued by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore, the
applicable requirements of the Code on Collective Investment Schemes issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore
(MAS) and the provisions of the Trust Deed.

These financial statements, which are expressed in Singapore Dollar and rounded to the nearest thousand, have been
prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with RAP 7 requires management to exercise its judgement in the
process of applying the Groups accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and
assumptions. Information about an area involving a higher degree of judgment, where assumptions and estimates are
significant to the financial statements, is disclosed in Note 12 Investment Properties. The assumptions and estimates were
used by the independent valuers in arriving at their valuations.

Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2010


On 1 April 2010, the Group adopted the new or amended Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) and Interpretations
to FRS (INT FRS) that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Groups accounting policies have
been made as required, in accordance with the relevant transitional provisions in the respective FRS and INT FRS.
The following are the new or revised FRS and INT FRS that are relevant to the Group:

FRS 103 (revised) Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009).

Please refer to Note 2.5(a)(ii) for the revised accounting policy on business combinations. The adoption of this revised
accounting policy does not have any impact on the financial statements for the current financial year.

FRS 27 (revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009).

The revisions to FRS 27 principally change the accounting for transactions with non-controlling interests. Please refer to
Notes 2.5(a)(iii) for the revised accounting policy on changes in ownership interest that results in a loss of control and 2.5(b)
for that on changes in ownership interests that do not result in loss of control.

The adoption of these new or amended FRS and INT FRS did not result in substantial changes to the Groups and MITs
accounting policies and had no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior financial years.

2.2 Revenue recognition


Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the rendering of services and is presented
net of goods and services tax, rebates and discounts.

Revenue is recognised as follows:


(a) Rental income and service charges from operating leases
Rental income and service charges (net of any incentive given to the lessees) from the investment properties are
recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(b) Interest income


Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(c) Dividend income


Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

90
2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)
2.3 Expenses
(a) Property operating expenses
Property operating expenses are recognised on an accrual basis. Included in property expenses are Property Managers
fees which are based on the applicable formula stipulated in Note 1(D).

(b) Managers management fees


Managers management fees are recognised on an accrual basis using the applicable formula stipulated in Note 1(B).

2.4 Income tax


Taxation on the return for the year comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognised in the Statements of
Total Return.

Current income tax for current and prior periods are recognised at the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities,
using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from
the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred income tax is determined using
tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply
when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) has issued a tax ruling on the taxation of MIT for the income earned
and expenditure incurred after its listing on the SGX-ST. Subject to meeting the terms and conditions of the tax ruling which
include a distribution of at least 90% of the taxable income of MIT, the Trustee will not be taxed on the portion of taxable
income of MIT that is distributed to Unitholders. Any portion of the taxable income that is not distributed to Unitholders will
be taxed on the Trustee. In the event that there are subsequent adjustments to the taxable income when the actual taxable
income of MIT is finally agreed with the IRAS, such adjustments are taken up as an adjustment to the taxable income for the
next distribution following the agreement with the IRAS.

Although MIT is not taxed on its taxable income distributed, the Trustee and the Manager are required to deduct income tax
at the applicable corporate tax rate from the distributions of such taxable income of MIT (i.e. which has not been taxed in the
hands of the Trustee) to certain Unitholders. The Trustee and the Manager will not deduct tax from the distributions made out
of MITs taxable income to the extent that the beneficial Unitholder is:

An individual (excluding partnerships);


A tax resident Singapore-incorporated company;
A body of persons registered or constituted in Singapore (e.g. town council, statutory board, registered charity, registered
co-operative society, registered trade union, management corporation, club and trade and industry association); and
A Singapore branch of a foreign company which has presented a letter of approval from the IRAS granting waiver from
tax deduction at source in respect of distributions from MIT.

The above tax transparency ruling does not apply to gains from sale of real properties. Such gains, if they are considered as
trading gains, are assessable to tax on the Trustee. Where the gains are capital gains, the Trustee will not be assessed to tax
and may distribute the gains without tax being deducted at source.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2011

2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)


2.5 Group accounting
(a) Subsidiaries
(i) Consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has power to govern the financial
and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, generally accompanied by a shareholding giving
rise to a majority of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable
or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on
which control ceases.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions
between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment
indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(ii) Acquisition of businesses


The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair value of the assets transferred,
the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes
the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in
the subsidiary.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with
limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the
date of acquisition either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquirees net
identifiable assets.

The consideration transferred (including the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree)
and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree less the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired
is recorded as goodwill.

(iii) Disposals of subsidiaries or businesses


When a change in MITs ownership interest in a subsidiary results in a loss of control over the subsidiary, the assets
and liabilities of the subsidiary including any goodwill are derecognised.

Any retained interest in the entity is remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the
retained investment at the date when control is lost and its fair value is recognised in the Statements of Total Return.

Please refer to the paragraph Investments in subsidiaries for the accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries in
the separate financial statements of MIT.

(b) Transactions with non-controlling interests


Changes in MITs ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control over the subsidiary are accounted
for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. Any difference between the change in the carrying amounts of the
non-controlling interest and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within
equity attributable to the Unitholders of MIT.

92
2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)
2.6 Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses (Note 2.12) in MITs balance sheet.
On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the
investment is recognised in the Statements of Total Return.

2.7 Financial assets


Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those expected to be realised later than 12 months after the
balance sheet date which are presented as non-current assets. Loans and receivables include cash and cash equivalents
and trade and other receivables except for non-current interest-free loans to subsidiary which have been accounted for in
accordance with Note 2.6.

These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less accumulated impairment losses.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired
and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists.

Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy and default or significant delay in
payments are objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired.

The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account which is calculated as
the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original
effective interest rate. When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent
recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the same line item in the Statements of Total Return.

The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through the Statements of Total Return in a subsequent period when
the amount of impairment loss decreases and the related decrease can be objectively measured. The carrying amount of the
asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying amount does not exceed the amortised cost had
no impairment been recognised in prior periods.

2.8 Borrowing costs


Borrowing costs are recognised in the Statements of Total Return using the effective interest method except for those costs
that are directly attributable to the construction or development of properties. This includes those costs on borrowings
acquired specifically for the construction or development of properties, as well as those in relation to general borrowings
used to finance the construction or development of properties.

The actual borrowing costs incurred during the period up to the issuance of the temporary occupation permit less any
investment income on temporary investment of these borrowings, are capitalised in the cost of the property under development.
Borrowing costs on general borrowings are capitalised by applying a capitalisation rate to construction or development
expenditures that are financed by general borrowings.

2.9 Investment properties


Investment properties are properties that are held for long-term rental yields and/or for capital appreciation.

Investment properties are accounted for as non-current assets and are initially recognised at cost. Investment properties
are subject to renovations or improvements at regular intervals. The costs of major renovations, improvements and initial
direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases are capitalised and the carrying amounts of the replaced
components are written off to the Statements of Total Return. The costs of maintenance, repairs and minor improvements
are charged to the Statements of Total Return when incurred. Investment properties are subsequently carried at fair value.
Fair values are determined in accordance with the Trust Deed, which requires the investment properties to be valued by
independent registered valuers at least once a year, in accordance with the Code on Collective Investment Schemes issued
by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

93
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2011

2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)


2.9 Investment properties (Contd)
Changes in fair values are recognised in the Statements of Total Return.

On disposal of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is taken to
the Statements of Total Return.

If an investment property becomes substantially owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, and its
fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purpose.

For taxation purposes, MIT may claim capital allowances on assets that qualify as plant and machinery under the Income
Tax Act.

2.10 Cash and cash equivalents


For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand
and deposits with financial institutions which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

2.11 Plant and equipment


(a) Measurement
Plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of an item of plant and equipment initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly
attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management.

(b) Depreciation
Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts
over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment 3 years

The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted
as appropriate, at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are included in the Statements of Total Return for
the financial year in which the changes arise.

(c) Subsequent expenditure


Subsequent expenditure relating to plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying
amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard
of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent
expenditure is recognised as an expense during the financial year in which it is incurred.

(d) Disposal
On disposal of an item of plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount
is taken to the Statements of Total Return.

94
2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)
2.12 Impairment of non-financial assets
Plant and equipment
Investments in subsidiaries
Plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or
indication that these assets may be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-
in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent
of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to
which the asset belongs.

If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the
asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is
recognised as an impairment loss in the Statements of Total Return.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the basis used to determine the assets
recoverable amount or if there is a change in the events that had given rise to the impairment since the last impairment loss
was recognised. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation)
had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in
the Statements of Total Return.

2.13 Borrowings
Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least
12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the Statements of Total
Return over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

2.14 Trade and other payables


Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction cost) and subsequently carried at amortised
cost, using the effective interest method.

2.15 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities


A derivative financial instrument is initially recognised at its fair value on the date the contract is entered into and is
subsequently carried at its fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative
is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates each hedge as
a cash flow hedge.

Fair value changes on derivatives that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in the
Statements of Total Return when the changes arise.

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged
items, as well as its risk management objective and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also
documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives designated as
hedging instruments are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items.

The carrying amount of a derivative designated as a hedge is presented as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining
expected life of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability if the remaining expected life of
the hedged item is less than 12 months. The fair value of a trading derivative is presented as a current asset or liability.

95
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2011

2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)


2.15 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (Contd)
Cash flow hedge
(i) Interest rate swaps
The Group has entered into interest rate swaps that are cash flow hedges for the Groups exposure to interest rate risk
on its borrowings. These contracts entitle the Group to receive interest at floating rates on notional principal amounts
and oblige the Group to pay interest at fixed rates on the same notional principal amounts, thus allowing the Group to
raise borrowings at floating rates and swap them into fixed rates.

The fair value changes on the effective portion of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are recognised in
the hedging reserve and transferred to the Statements of Total Return when the interest expense on the borrowings is
recognised in the Statements of Total Return. The fair value changes on the ineffective portion of interest rate swaps are
recognised immediately in the Statements of Total Return.

2.16 Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilities


The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques.
The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance
sheet date. Where appropriate, quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used. Valuation techniques,
such as discounted cash flow analyses, are also used to determine the fair values of the financial instruments.

The fair values of interest rate swaps are calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at
actively quoted interest rates.

The fair values of current financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate their carrying amounts.

2.17 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more
likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can
be made.

2.18 Leases
(a) When the Group is a lessee:
Leases of assets where substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessor are classified
as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are taken to
the Statements of Total Return on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the
lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.

(b) When the Group is a lessor:


Leases of investment properties where the Group retains substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are
classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessees) is recognised
in the Statements of Total Return on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.19 Currency translation


(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The financial statements are presented in
Singapore Dollars, which is the functional currency of MIT.

(b) Transactions and balances


Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (foreign currency) are translated into the functional currency
using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Currency translation differences resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
at the closing rates at the balance sheet date are recognised in the Statements of Total Return.

96
2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)
2.20 Issue expenses
Issue expenses relate to expenses incurred in issuance of units in MIT. These expenses are deducted directly from the net
assets attributable to the Unitholders.

2.21 Segment reporting


Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Management who is
responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

2.22 Distribution policy


MITs distribution policy is to distribute 100% of its Adjusted Taxable Income, comprising substantially its income from the
letting of its properties and related property services income after deduction of allowable expenses and allowances, as well
as interest income from the placement of periodic cash surpluses in bank deposits, for the period from 21 October 2010 to
31 March 2012. Thereafter, MIT will distribute at least 90% of its Adjusted Taxable Income. Distributions, when paid, will be in
Singapore Dollars.

Investment properties are stated at fair value based on valuations performed by independent professional valuers. In determining
fair value, the valuers have used valuation methods which involve certain estimates.

The fair values are determined using the income capitalisation method, discounted cash flow method and direct comparison
method. The income capitalisation and discounted cash flow methods involve the estimation of income and expenses, taking
into account expected future changes in economic and social conditions, which may affect the value of the properties. The
direct comparison method involves the comparison of recent sales transactions of similar properties. The Manager is of the
view that the valuation methods and estimates are reflective of the current market conditions.

Details of the investment properties are shown in the portfolio statement.

15. Loan to subsidiary


MIT has extended an interest-free loan to its subsidiary amounting to $179,794,000 (2010: Nil). This loan to subsidiary forms
part of the consideration paid for the acquisition of assets held by MSIT. The initial loan to subsidiary was $183,294,000
(Note 14) and the loan was partially repaid during the year with a balance of $179,794,000 as at 31 March 2011. This loan
has no fixed terms of repayment and is intended to be a long-term source of additional capital for the subsidiary. Settlement
of this loan is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future.

As a result, management considers this loan to be in substance part of the MITs net investment in MSIT and has accounted
for this loan in accordance with Note 2.6.

In the previous financial year, the Group put in place interest rate swaps that would effectively fix the interest rates for 2
tranches of $284.0 million of the unsecured bank loan to 1 January 2012 and 1 July 2012 respectively.

During the financial year, the Group has entered into forward interest rate swaps of $200.0 million to extend the interest
rate swaps which are maturing on 1 January 2012 for 2 years to 1 January 2014. The Group has also entered into forward
interest rate swaps of $50.0 million to extend the interest rate swaps which are maturing on 1 July 2012 for 1.5 years to
1 January 2014.

Fair value gains and losses on the interest rate swaps recognised in the hedging reserve are transferred to the Statement
of Total Return as part of interest expense over the period of the borrowings.

25. Financial risk management
The Groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates.

Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Manager. The Manager provides written principles for overall
risk management as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Risk
management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Groups activities.

(a) Market risk cash flow and fair value interest rate risks
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Group has no significant interest bearing assets, the Groups
income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group monitors
the interest rate on borrowings closely to ensure that the borrowings are maintained at favourable rates.

The Groups exposure to cash flow interest rate risks arises mainly from variable-rate bank borrowings. The Group
manages these cash flow interest rate risks using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps.

The Groups and MITs borrowings at variable rates on which effective hedges have not been entered into are
denominated in SGD. If the SGD interest rates increase by 0.50% (2010: 0.50%) and decrease by 0.20% (2010:
0.50%) with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the profit after tax will be lower by $1,802,115
and higher by $720,846 (2010: $4,147,554) as a result of higher/lower interest expense on these borrowings. The
hedging reserve attributable to Unitholders would have been higher by $4,442,989 (2010: $4,905,220) and lower by
$1,865,574 (2010: $4,972,662) mainly as a result of higher/lower fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash
flow hedges of variable rate borrowings.

(b) Credit risk


Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to
the Group. The major classes of financial assets of the Group and MIT are bank deposits and trade receivables. For
trade receivables, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with customers of appropriate credit history, and obtaining
sufficient security where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. For other financial assets, the Group adopts the policy of
dealing with high credit quality counterparties.

(i) Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are substantially companies with a good collection track
record with the Group. Bank deposits that are neither past due nor impaired are mainly deposits with banks with high
credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

(ii) Financial assets that are past due and/or impaired


There is no other class of financial assets that is past due and/or impaired except for trade receivables.

The age analysis of trade receivables past due but not impaired is as follows:

Group
2011 2010
$000 $000

Past due < 3 months 1,223 1,190
Past due 3 to 6 months 62 268
Past due over 6 months 329 677

1,496 2,135

The carrying amount of trade receivables individually determined to be impaired and the movement in the related
allowance for impairment are as follows:
Group and MIT
2011 2010
$000 $000

Gross amount 442 589
Less: Allowance for impairment (356) (531)

Beginning of financial year (531) (321)
Allowance reversed/(made) 28 (469)
Allowance utilised 147 259
End of financial year (356) (531)

The Group believes that no additional allowance is necessary in respect of the remaining trade and other receivables
as these receivables are mainly arising from tenants with good records with sufficient security in the form of bankers
guarantees, insurance bonds, or cash security deposits as collaterals.

(c) Liquidity risk


The Group and MIT adopt prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash to fund its working capital
and financial obligations.

The table below analyses the maturity profile of the non-derivative financial liabilities of the Group and MIT based on
contractual undiscounted cash flows prospectively for the next 5 years. Where it relates to a variable amount payable, the
amount is determined by reference to the last reference rate contracted.

(d) Capital risk


The Managers objective when managing capital is to optimise the Groups capital structure within the borrowing limits
set out in the Code on Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to fund future
acquisitions and asset enhancement works. To maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Manager may issue
new units or source additional borrowing from both financial institutions and capital markets.

The Manager monitors capital based on aggregate leverage limit. Under the CIS, all Singapore-listed real estate investment
trust (S-REITs) are given the aggregate leverage limit of 60% of its deposited property if a S-REIT has obtained a credit
rating from a major credit rating agency.

The aggregate leverage ratio is calculated as total borrowings plus deferred payments divided by total assets. The Group
does not have deferred payments.

(e) Fair value measurements


FRS 107 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);

(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(is as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) (Level 2); and

(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is made up of interest rate swaps obtained from an independent
bank. Valuation techniques using assumptions based on market conditions existing at balance sheet date are used in the
determination of the fair value of the interest rate swaps.

28. Segment information


Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Manager that are used
to make strategic decisions. The Manager comprises the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and Head of
Asset Management.

The Manager considers the business from a business segment perspective. Management manages and monitors the
business based on property types.

Management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of Net Property Income (NPI).
Interest income and borrowing costs are not allocated to segments, as the treasury activities are centrally managed by
the Group.

(a) Segment assets


The amounts provided to the Management with respect to total assets are measured in a manner consistent with that
of the financial statements. For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between
segments, the Management monitors the trade receivables and investment properties attributable to each segment. All
assets are allocated to reportable segments other than cash and cash equivalents, other current assets and receivables
and plant and equipment.

(b) Segment liabilities


The amounts provided to the Management with respect to total liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that
of the financial statements. These liabilities are allocated to the reportable segments other than income tax liabilities,
borrowings, Unitholders loan, derivative financial instruments and trade and other payables.

The segment information provided to Management for the reportable segments for year ended 31 March 2011 is as follows:

29. New or revised accounting standards and interpretations


Below are the mandatory standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that have been published, and
are relevant for the Groups accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2011 or later periods and which the Group has
not early adopted:

Amendments to FRS 24 Related party disclosures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011)
INT FRS 119 Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments (effective for annual periods commencing on or
after 1 July 2010)
Amendments to FRS 12 Income taxes (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012)

The management anticipates that the adoption of the above FRSs, INT FRSs and amendments to FRS in the future periods
will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of MIT in the period of their initial adoption,
except for the amendments to FRS 24 Related party disclosures.

The amendment clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party. However, the revised definition of a related party will
mean that some entities will have more related parties and will be required to make additional disclosures.

Management is currently considering the revised definition to determine whether any additional disclosures will be required.

30. Authorisation of the financial statements


The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Manager and the Trustee on 6 June 2011.
