Background |
||
LEX Property Fund is a direct property fund investing in a retail centre comprising the largest single-tenant retail store (27,077.7 sqm) in Perth which is occupied by the IKEA franchisee, together with additional showroom, retail and office space (2,921.8 sqm) adjacent to the new IKEA store. |
||
| Practical completion of the main IKEA Perth store was achieved on budget and ahead of schedule in early February 2008 enabling the tenant to open for business to the public on 14 February 2008. | ||
| The four adjacent perimeter buildings achieved practical completion between March 2008 and June 2008 and are fully tenanted (including national tenants Kathmandu and Pumpkin Patch). | ||

The fund successfully completed a capital raising of $31.2 million in March 2007 and has performed well since inception, paying cash distributions to its investors to date as follows: * 30 June 2008 - 2.75 cents per unit ("cpu")* 30 June 2009 - 8.25 cpu * 30 June 2010 - 8.75 cpu All income distributions paid to 30 June 2010 were 100% tax deferred. |
||
| As at 30 June 2010, the fund's property was independently valued at $120.0m. This represents a 6.2% increase in value since 30 June 2009 and also compares favourably to the Fund's forecast at completion valuation of $110.5m assessed in January 2007. | ||
| Based on this updated property value, the unaudited net asset backing per unit at 30 June 2010 is $1.18 from the 30 June 2009 net asset backing of $1.04 and also representing an increase from the original allotment price of $1.00 per unit paid by investors in March 2007. | ||
