Property Acquisition The Trust successfully acquired the office building and land at 16 Marie Street Milton, Brisbane, Queensland on 18 March 2015 for $21.710 million, including transaction costs (such as stamp duty, registration and due diligence costs).

The equity funds raised by the Trust in order to settle the acquisition of the Property were a mixture of ordinary units and Unity Pacific’s underwrite units.

Unity Pacific, as the manager and responsible entity of the Trust, secured debt finance consistent with the disclosures in Information Memorandum. Further information on the debt facility is provided below.

Debt Finance and GearingThe Manager used debt finance to fund the balance of the property purchase price. The debt finance was provided to the Trust by National Australia Bank Limited (NAB). Under the terms of the debt facility with NAB, the manager borrowed 40% of the Property’s purchase price which equates to a debt facility of $8.17 million.

The Trust’s primary debt facility, was fully drawn to $8.17 million as at 30 June 2015.

As foreshadowed in the IM, to achieve interest rate certainty and to reduce the potential variability of future results and distributions, the Trust entered into a 4 year fixed interest rate swap for all of the debt facility. The Trust’s primary $8.17 million debt facility expires on 18 March 2019.

A $0.2 million overdraft facility has also been established to manage the Trust’s working capital requirements. The overdraft facility was undrawn as at 30 June 2015.

The Trust complied with all financial covenants required by its financier, NAB, during the year and as at 30 June 2015.

The following table provides key information regarding the Trust’s debt position with NAB as at 30 June 2015.

LeasingThe Property currently has 261m2 of vacant space located on Level 1. Property agents have been engaged for the leasing of this space over which the vendor of the Property provides rental support. To assist with leasing, a speculative fitout has been created within this vacancy to enable potential tenants to visualise the vacant area as a workplace. This is common practice recommended by leasing agents to lease difficult areas.

The commercial office leasing market in the Brisbane CBD and fringe office markets like Milton remains challenging.

CapexOther than the fitout of suite 1B, described above, no major capital works have been undertaken at the Property since the acquisition date.

Outlook

The Milton PrecinctThere is currently considerable development activity in the Milton area. The development is predominantly medium to high density residential with a particular focus around Milton train station which is located approximately one kilometre from the Property. According to the Brisbane City Council’s Milton Station Neighbourhood Plan, the design principles for the redevelopment of the area are;

“ Milton will be a high density transit oriented community where people can live, work and play in close proximity to public transport, and in a pedestrian and cyclist friendly environment. Milton will be well connected to the Central Business District (CBD) and neighbouring suburbs by transit and include high quality public spaces and recreation areas.”

Supporting the development in the Milton area, the Brisbane City Council opened the new Milton CityCat terminal in January 2015. The terminal is approximately 100 metres from the Property providing further improved transport links to the Milton area.
