CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Results & Operations

UOA REIT has recorded a marginal improvement in gross rental in financial year 2013 representing a slight growth of approximately 4.0% compared to the preceding year. As the occupancy rates for the properties remained stable, the marginal growth was mainly attributable to rental rate revisions.

The slight decline in the realised income before tax of approximately 3.4% was due to the gains from disposal of two parcels in UOA Centre and Wisma UOA II in the preceding year.

The Trust’s distribution per unit has increased by 1.8% to 10.67 sen from 10.48 sen in the previous year.

Significant Events

The refurbishment and upgrading of common areas in UOA Centre and Wisma UOA II were completed in the year 2013. The asset enhancement is expected to continue to keep these older buildings in a good tenantable condition to sustain the high occupancy rates at good commercial rental rates. The occupancy and rental rates for both UOA Centre parcels and Wisma UOA II parcels remained stable.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd (“Asset

Manager”), the Manager of UOA Real Estate Investment Trust (“UOA REIT” or “Trust”), I

am pleased to present the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Trust for the

financial year ended 31 December 2013.

The Asset Manager with the consent of the Trustee had, in year 2013, applied to Multimedia Development Corporation (“MDeC”) to obtain MSC Malaysia Cybercentre status for Wisma UOA Damansara I and Wisma UOA Damansara II (collectively, “UOA Damansara”). In January 2014, the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia approved the Stage 2 application for MSC Malaysia Cybercentre status of UOA Damansara subject to execution of the Cybercentre Manager Agreement between the Asset Manager and MDeC. The buildings are expected to appeal to a wider tenant base including MSC Malaysia and ICT-based companies upon receipt of the Stage 2 final approval.

The Future

On the back of healthy domestic economic growth and improving outlook of global economies, we are confident that the existing high occupancy rates of our properties will be sustainable with potential for further improvement. Our experience in managing office space coupled with the strategic locations of our portfolio of properties within prime areas of Kuala Lumpur remain our core strengths in maintaining our position as one of the leading office space providers in Kuala Lumpur. The Trust will continue to actively manage its existing portfolio of properties with prudent capital management while continuing to explore opportunities for potential yield accretive acquisitions.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my gratitude to all our staff for their dedication and effort in producing another successful result for the year. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our new and existing tenants as well as business partners for their continued support.

Finally, I would like extend my appreciation to our Unitholders for their confidence and continued support in the Trust and we shall continue to strive to deliver a sustainable income growth.

The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) are held by separate persons.

The Chairman leads the Board to ensure that members of the Board work together with the Manager in a constructive manner to address strategies, business operations, financial performance and risk management issues. The Chairman also takes a lead role in promoting high standards of corporate governance with the full support of the Board and the Manager.

The CEO is responsible for implementing the policies and decisions of the Board. The CEO also has full executive responsibilities over the business directions and operational decisions in managing UOA REIT.

The clear separation of roles of the Chairman and the CEO provides a healthy, independent and professional relationship between the Board and the management.

UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd, the Manager of UOA Real Estate Investment Trust (“UOA REIT”), has pleasure in presenting the Manager’s Report on UOA REIT together with the audited financial statements of UOA REIT for the year ended 31 December 2013 (“financial year”).

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY OF THE MANAGER

The Manager, a company incorporated in Malaysia, is a subsidiary company of UOA Corporation Bhd (an effectively 60% owned subsidiary company of UOA Holdings Sdn Bhd which in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary company of United Overseas Australia Ltd, a company incorporated in Australia and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and Stock Exchange of Singapore). The principal activity of the Manager is the management of real estate investment trusts. There has been no significant change in the nature of this activity during the financial year.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF THE TRUST

UOA REIT is a Malaysia-domiciled real property trust fund constituted under a Deed dated 28 November 2005 (“Deed”) by UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd (“Manager”) and RHB Trustees Berhad (formerly known as OSK Trustees Berhad) (“Trustee”).

UOA REIT commenced operations on 1 December 2005 and was listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 30 December 2005. The principal activity of UOA REIT is to invest in diversified portfolio of real estate and real estate-related assets used, or predominantly used, for commercial purposes, whether directly or indirectly through the ownership of single-purpose companies who wholly own real estate with the objective of achieving a stable return from rental income and long term capital growth. There has been no significant change in the nature of this activity during the financial year.

UOA REIT will continue its operations until such time as determined by the Trustee and the Manager as provided under Clause 26 of the Deed.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

During the financial year, the Manager continued to adopt the following strategies in achieving UOA REIT’s investment objective:

(I) Operating Strategy

UOA REIT’s operating strategy is to continue to enhance the performance of the Properties by increasing yields and returns from the Properties through a combination of retaining existing tenants, reducing vacancy levels, adding and/or optimising retail/office space at the Properties and minimising interruptions in rental income and operational costs. The Manager expects to apply the following key operating and management principles via the following:

(a) to optimise rental rates via active management of tenancies, renewals and new tenancies;(b) maintaining a close relationship with tenants to optimise tenant retentions;(c) actively working with the Property Manager to pursue new tenancy opportunities;(d) to optimise tenant mix and space configuration;(e) continuous review of tenant mix and if practicable, reconfigure lettable space; and(f) continually maintaining the quality of the Properties.

MANAGER’S REPORT (CONT’D)

(II) Acquisition Strategy

The Manager seeks to increase cash flow and enhance unit value through selective acquisitions. The acquisition strategy takes into consideration:

(a) location;(b) occupancy and tenant mix;(c) building and facilities specifications;(d) opportunities; and(e) yield thresholds.

The Manager has access to a network of and good relationships with leading participants in the real estate industry which may assist UOA REIT in identifying (a) acquisition opportunities that have favourable returns on invested capital and growth in cash flow; and (b) under-performing assets. The Manager believes that these deal-sourcing capabilities will be an important competitive advantage of UOA REIT.

The Manager intends to capitalise on the relationship with UOA Holdings Group, which is one of Malaysia’s leading property development, property investment, property management services and construction group of companies. This relationship is expected to accord UOA REIT competitive advantages and benefits towards achieving its long term objectives.

The Manager intends to hold the Properties on a long term basis. In the future where the Manager considers that any property has reached a stage that offers only limited scope for growth, they may consider selling the property and using the proceeds for alternative investments in properties that meet their investment criteria.

(III) Capital Management Strategy

The Manager aims to optimise UOA REIT’s capital structure and cost of capital within the borrowing limits prescribed by the Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT Guidelines”) and intends to use a combination of debt and equity funding for future acquisitions and improvement works at the Properties. Our capital management strategies involve:

(a) adopting and maintaining an optimal gearing level; and(b) adopting an active interest rate management strategy to manage risks associated with changes in interest rates

while maintaining flexibility in UOA REIT’s capital structure to meet future investment and/or capital requirements.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION

(a) Before the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position of UOA REIT were made out, the directors of UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd took reasonable steps:

(b) At the date of this report, the directors of UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd are not aware of any circumstances:

(i) which would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of UOA REIT inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(ii) which would render the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of UOA REIT misleading; or

(iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of UOA REIT misleading or inappropriate.

(c) As at the date of this report, there does not exist:

(i) any charge on the assets of UOA REIT which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or

(ii) any contingent liability of UOA REIT which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

(d) No contingent or other liability of UOA REIT has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the directors of UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd, will or may affect the ability of UOA REIT to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

(e) At the date of this report, the directors of UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd are not aware of any circumstances, not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements of UOA REIT which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

(i) the results of the operations of UOA REIT for the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature; and

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of UOA Real Estate Investment Trust (“UOA REIT”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in net asset value and statement of cash flows for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 45 to 78.

Manager’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Directors of UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd (“Manager”) of UOA REIT are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Deed dated 28 November 2005, the Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trusts, the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards and the International Financial Reporting Standards. The Manager is also responsible for such internal control as the Manager determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the Manager’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 Manager’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors of 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 opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

1. THE TRUST, THE MANAGER AND THEIR PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

UOA Real Estate Investment Trust (“UOA REIT” or “Trust”) was constituted under a Deed dated 28 November 2005 (“Deed”), by the Manager, UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd (“Manager”) and RHB Trustees Berhad (formerly known as OSK Trustees Berhad) (“Trustee”). UOA REIT commenced operations on 1 December 2005.

UOA REIT was listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 30 December 2005. The principal activity of UOA REIT is investment in real estate and real estate-related assets used, or predominantly used, for commercial purposes, whether directly or indirectly through the ownership of single-purpose companies which wholly own real estate. There has been no significant change in the nature of this activity during the financial year.

The Manager, a company incorporated in Malaysia, is a subsidiary company of UOA Corporation Bhd (an effectively 60% owned subsidiary company of UOA Holdings Sdn Bhd which in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary company of United Overseas Australia Ltd, a company incorporated in Australia and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and Stock Exchange of Singapore). The principal activity of the Manager is the management of real estate investment trusts. There has been no significant change in the nature of this activity during the financial year.

2. TERM OF THE TRUST

UOA REIT will continue its operations until such time as determined by the Trustee and the Manager as provided under Clause 26 of the Deed.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements of UOA REIT have been prepared in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Deed and the Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trusts.

The measurement bases applied in the preparation of the financial statements include cost, recoverable value, realisable value, and fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

013 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Fair value measurements are categorised as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also UOA REIT’s functional currency.

(b) Application of new or revised standards

In current year, the UOA REIT has applied a number of new or revised MFRSs, Amendments to MFRSs, Issue Committee Interpretation (“IC Interpretation”) and Amendments to IC Interpretation that become mandatory for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

Except as otherwise indicated below, the adoption of the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations does not have significant impact on the financial statements of UOA REIT.

MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

MFRS 13 sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. MFRS 13 is applicable to both financial instruments and non-financial instrument items, for which fair value measurement or disclosures about fair value measurements is required or permitted by other MFRS, except for MFRS 2 Share-based Payment, MFRS 117 Leases, net realisable value in MFRS 102 Inventories or value in use in MFRS 136 Impairment of Assets.

MFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. MFRS 13 have been applied prospectively from its effective date. Other than additional disclosures, the adoption of MFRS 13 does not have significant impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Amendments to MFRS 101 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The amendments to MFRS 101 require items of other comprehensive income to be categorised as, either, (i) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; or (ii) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. The amendments to MFRS 101 have been applied retrospectively. Other than changes in presentation of items of other comprehensive income, the adoption of amendments to MFRS 101 does not have significant impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Amendments to MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment

The amendments to MFRS 116 clarify that spare parts, standby equipment and should be classified as property, plant and equipment should they are held for own use and expected to be used for more than onefinancial period.

The changes in accounting policies have been applied retrospectively, and there is no significant impact to the financial statements.

(c) Standards issued that are not yet effective

UOA REIT has not applied the following MFRSs, Amendments to MFRSs, and IC Interpretation that have been issued by the MASB but are not yet effective:

New/Revised MFRSs, Amendments to MFRSs, Effective for financialIC Interpretations and Amendments to IC Interpretation periods on or after

Amendments to MFRS 139 Novation of Derivatives and 1 January 2014 Continuation of Hedge Accounting

IC Interpretation 21 Levies 1 January 2014

Except as otherwise indicated below, the adoption of the above new standard, amendments and interpretations are not expected to have significant impact on the financial statements of UOA REIT.

MFRS 9 Financial Instruments

MFRS 9 addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It replaces the parts of MFRS 139 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. MFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories, i.e. those measured as at fair value, and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the MFRS 139 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The adoption of MFRS 9 is not expected to have significant impact on the financial statements of UOA REIT upon its initial application.

(d) Significant accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the Manager to exercise judgement. It also requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at reporting date, and reported amounts of income and expenses during the financial year.

(i) Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, the Directors of Manager are of the opinion that there are no instances of application of judgement which are expected to have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material judgement to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as stated below:-

The useful lives and residual values of plant and equipment are estimated based on common life expectancies and commercial factors applied in the various respective industries.

Changes in expected level of usage, occupancy rates and economic development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets and hence future depreciation charges on such assets could be revised.

The Manager assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Manager considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of the receivables at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements.

The fair value of investment properties are derived from the Directors of the Manager’s assessment, which involve certain estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

(e) Plant and equipment

(i) Measurement basis

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

The cost of plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Trust and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised to profit or loss when incurred.

Plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the profit or loss.

(ii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the depreciable amount of plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The depreciable amount is determined after deducting residual value from cost.

The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:

Office equipment 10% Computer 20%

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

(f) Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both rather than for use in the production or supply of goods and services or for administrative purpose, or sale in the ordinary course of business.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.

Investment properties are derecognised upon disposal or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from their disposal. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(g) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument of another enterprise.

(i) Initial recognition and measurement

A financial instrument is recognised in the financial statements when, and only when, the Trust becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.

(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets or loans and receivables, as appropriate. Management determines the classification of the financial assets as set out below upon initial recognition. The Trust has only financial assets categorised as loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables

This category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

The subsequent measurement of financial assets in this category is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment losses.

All financial assets at amortised cost are subject to review for impairment.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprises financial liabilities that are held for trading, derivatives and financial liabilities that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition. These financial liabilities are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in the profit or loss.

The Trust only has financial liabilities categorised as financial liabilities at amortised cost which are measured using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received together with any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.

A financial liability or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in the profit or loss.

(h) Operating lease

A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.

Operating lease income is credited to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

(i) Income recognition

(i) Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the specific tenure of the respective leases. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

(ii) Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis.

(j) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss.

When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written off against carrying amount of the financial asset.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

(k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

0133. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(I) Taxation

The tax expense in profit or loss represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax.

Current tax is the expected income tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, estimated using the tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.

On the statement of financial position, a deferred tax liability is recognised for taxable temporary differences while a deferred tax asset is recognised for deductible temporary differences and unutilised tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in future against which the deductible temporary differences and unutilised tax losses can be utilised.

No deferred tax is recognised for temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of:

(i) goodwill; or

(ii) an asset or liability which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the asset or liability is expected to be recovered or settled, and based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or when the liability is settled.

Current tax and deferred tax are charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, whether in the same or a different period, directly to other comprehensive income.

(m) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

5. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (CONT’D)

The fair value represents the amount at which the properties could be exchanged on an open market basis between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date.

The fair values of the investment properties as at 31 December 2013 were assessed by the Directors of the Manager. Whilst a full valuation has not been conducted, the Board of Directors have obtained updated market values on the investment properties amounting to RM1,061,600,000 from PPC International Sdn Bhd in June 2013. In arriving at the updated market values, the Valuer has applied the Investment and Comparison Method to assess the market values of the investment properties. The existing book values of the investment properties as at 31 December 2013 was not materially different from the updated valuations performed, hence confirmed the assessment by the Directors of the Manager that the existing book values as at 31 December 2013 are fair. In view of the above and taking into account current market conditions, the existing book values of the investment properties as at 31 December 2013 were not adjusted and were taken to represent the fair value of the investment properties at the same date.

The fair value hierarchy of the investment properties as at reporting date is as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 RM RM RM

Freehold properties - - 765,429,340 Leasehold properties - - 296,000,000

013 30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

UOA REIT operates within clear defined guidelines as set out in the Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT Guidelines”). These REIT Guidelines seek to provide a regulatory framework that would protect the interests of the investing public. The Trust is exposed to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity and cash flow risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments.

Information regarding the Trust’s exposure to the above-mentioned risks and the Trust’s risk management policies, which ensure compliance with the spirit of the REIT Guidelines, are set out below:

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that a tenant or counter party may be unable to meet the terms of a contract in which the Trust has a gain position. At the reporting date, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position.

The Trust is not exposed to significant credit risks as it is not permitted to extend loans or any other forms of credit facilities. The risk of non-collectibility of monthly rentals is also mitigated with rental deposits collected from the tenants.

The ageing analysis of receivables as at the reporting date which is trade in nature is as follows:

Gross Impairment RM RM 2013

Less than 30 days past due 320,102 - Between 30 to 90 days past due 111,540 - More than 90 days past due 1,243,953 596,971

1,675,595 596,971

2012

Movements in the allowance for the doubtful debts of trade receivables are as follows:

2013 2012 RM RM At 1 January 376,048 260,722 Addition during the year 286,211 209,725 Allowance no longer required (65,288) (94,399)

At 31 December 596,971 376,048

(b) Interest rate risk

The Trust has no exposure to movements in market interest rates other than revolving credit facility and deposits with licensed financial institutions.

Financial assets

By placing its deposits on short tenures and at prevailing market interest rates, the Trust is able to reduce its exposures to interest rate fluctuations.

Financial liabilities

The Trust minimises its interest rate risk by borrowing as far as possible at a floating interest rate.

The information on maturity and effective interest rates on the revolving credit are disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements.

A sensitivity analysis has been performed based on the outstanding floating rate borrowings of the Trust as at the reporting date. If interest rates increase or decrease by 50 basis points with all other variables held constant, the Trust’s profit after tax would decrease or increase by RM1,889,000 (2012 : RM1,903,000), as a result of higher or lower interest expense on these borrowings.

(c) Liquidity and cash flow risks

The Trust ensures that there are adequate funds to repay the revolving credit in a timely and cost-effective manner. Sources of funds can be via issuance of units, internally generated funds or borrowings. As timing of these arrangements is critical, the Trust may be exposed to the risk of its investment properties being foreclosed in the interim. However, the Manager is of the opinion that the facility will be rolled over and remain available for the long term and there is no imminent obligation to repay.
