Through the asset enhancement, we were able to secure better
rental rates for the e-business space compared to conventional

of MITs continual commitment to rejuvenate existing assets
through innovative initiatives.
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

MIT the technical know-how and experience to leverage on.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
29
Corporate
Governance
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
31
Corporate
Governance
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.
Prompt fulfillment of statutory reporting requirements is but one way to maintain the stakeholders
confidence and trust in the Managers capability and integrity.
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
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.
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.

Policy and Practices (Contd)
The Standards set by the IIA cover requirements on:
independence & objectivity;
proficiency & due professional care;
managing the internal audit activity;

performing engagement; and
communicating results.
IA staff involved in Information Technology (IT) audits are Certified Information System Auditors
and members of the Information System Audit and Control Association (ISACA) in the USA. The
ISACA Information System Auditing Standards provide guidance on the standards and procedures
to be applied in IT audits.
To ensure that the internal audits are performed by competent professionals, IA recruits and employs
qualified staff. In order that their technical knowledge remains current and relevant, IA identifies and
provides training and development opportunities to the staff.
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.
35
Strategy
Key Objective
To provide Unitholders with an attractive rate of return for their investment through regular and stable
distributions to Unitholders and achieving long-term growth in DPU and Net Asset Value per unit, while
maintaining an appropriate capital structure.
Key Strategies
The Managers strategies for growth 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
41

Property Market Overview

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.

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.

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.

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.

5.3 Rents of business park space
URAs data show that monthly median rents of business park space had recovered by 8.1% in 2010
on the back of a rebound in demand, following a negative 22.0% correction in 2009, to end 2010 at
S$3.60 per sq ft (S$38.75 per sq m). In 1Q2011, median rents inched up by another 5.6% QoQ to
S$3.80 per sq ft (S$40.90 per sq m) as of March 2011, supported by strengthening demand driven by
improved business confidence and a recovering global economic environment.

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.

Independent Auditors Report to the
Unitholders of Mapletree Industrial Trust
(Constituted under a Trust Deed in the Republic of Singapore)
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2011
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.
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.
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).
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:
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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:
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.
(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.
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
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.
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.

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.

7. Income tax
(a) Income tax expense
Group and MIT
2011 2010
$000 $000
The tax expense on the results for the financial year differs from the amount that would arise using the Singapore standard
rate of income tax due to the following:
Group

$000 $000
Total return before tax 361,099 91,664
MIT
2011 2010
$000 $000
Total return before tax 356,202 91,664
The income tax liabilities refer to income tax provision based on taxable income made when MIT and MSIT were held as
taxable private trusts.
Diluted earnings per unit is the same as the basic earnings per unit as there are no dilutive instruments in issue during the
financial year.
99
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2011
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.

13. Plant and equipment (Contd)
On 21 October 2010, the Group acquired 100% of the equity interest in Mapletree Singapore Industrial Trust (MSIT). The
principal activity of MSIT is to invest in a diverse portfolio of properties with the primary objective of achieving an attractive
level of return from rental income and for long-term capital growth. From the Groups perspective, the transaction has been
accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities.
Details of the consideration paid, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the effects on the cash flows of the Group,
at the acquisition date, are as follows:
(a) Purchase consideration
Cash paid comprising:
$000

The Group has entered into interest rate swaps which effectively converted its floating rate borrowings of $568.0 million (2010:
$568.0 million) for the duration of the swaps to fixed interest rates (Note 20).
The movement in the deferred income tax assets and liabilities (prior to offsetting of balances within the same tax jurisdiction)
during the financial year is as follows:
104
19. Unitholders loan
The loan taken while MIT was a private trust is interest free and not repayable on demand unless otherwise approved by
the private trusts Management Committee. The Unitholders loan has been repaid during the financial year upon the public
listing of MIT.
Period when the cash flows on cash flow hedges are expected to occur or affect the Statements of Total Return
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.

24. Commitments
(a) Capital commitments
Capital expenditures contracted for at the balance sheet date but not recognised in the financial statements are as follows:
The operating leases are subjected to revision of land rents at periodic intervals. For the purpose of the above disclosure, the
prevailing land rent rates are used.
Some of the operating leases are subject to revision of lease rentals at periodic intervals. For the purpose of the above
disclosure, the prevailing lease rentals are used.
106
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.
(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.
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
1,614 2,135
107
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2011
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)
86 58
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.
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

The table below analyses the Group and MITs derivative financial instruments for which contractual maturities are essential
for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period
from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual
undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is
not significant.
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.
109
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2011
There were no changes in the Groups approach to capital management during the financial year.
The Group is in compliance with externally imposed capital requirements for the financial year ended 31 March 2011.
(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.
The carrying value of trade receivables and payables, borrowings and Unitholders loan approximate their fair values.

26. Significant related party transactions
For the purpose of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to MIT when MIT has the ability, directly or
indirectly to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice
versa, or where MIT and the party are companies that are under common control with a Unitholder that has significant influence
over the Group. The Manager (Mapletree Industrial Trust Management Ltd.) and the Property Manager (Mapletree Facilities
Services Pte Ltd.) are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of a substantial Unitholder of MIT.
During the financial year, other than those disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements, the following significant related party
transactions took place at terms agreed between the parties as follows:

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.
