  1. Barossa Money Show Lino Brolese (CEO) Aspen Parks October 2009 “Creating wealth through intelligent property investment”

  2. Property Market Overview Current state of the Property Market • In 2007 there was a substantial weight of funds chasing institutional grade assets with tightening investment parameters in a climate of rising interest rates and funding costs. • The landscape changed significantly in 2008 as a result of the GFC. Listed and unlisted property groups attempted to divest non-core assets to reduce gearing and ultimately reduce the cost of debt in a market with limited buyers. This resulted in a number of stressed sales showing significant softening in property values. • In a market with the absence of buyers and with loan to value ratios at critically high levels, many listed property trusts have recently completed capital raisings to reduce LVR. • Commercial property sales throughout 2008 and 2009 were down significantly on those levels experienced throughout 2007. • Leasing demand across all property classes has softened considerably over the past year which has impacted significantly on property values. Tenant default is also a real issue in the current market. • Given recent capital raisings and fund re-financing it would appear the property market has now stabilised with further dramatic falls in values across all classes unlikely.

  3. Property Market Overview (cont.) Going Forward • We anticipate that risk pricing (required investment yield) will in the short to medium term remain at a premium to those levels witnessed in 2007, however do not believe further softening will take place. • The low interest rate environment should have a positive impact in property values however availability of debt still remains relatively tight. • The recent interest rate rises and strengthening Australian dollar are signs that confidence is returning to the market. • Commercial property fundamentals such as low vacancy rates, rental rates, constrained supply and income growth potential still remain positive and are likely to strengthen with the recent announcements of planned resource projects throughout Australia (i.e Gorgon) • Property is an illiquid long term investment. The long term property fundamentals within the Australian property market have not softened.
