• CIT increased its Acquisition Term Loan Facility from S$50.0 million to S$120.0 million. All-in debt cost is approx. 3.0% p.a.

Singapore, 28 April 2011 - Cambridge Industrial Trust Management Limited (“CITM”), the Manager (“Manager”) of CIT, announced that CIT registered gross revenue of S$19.3 million and a net property income (“NPI”) of S$16.6 million for its first quarter financial results ended 31 March 2011 (“1Q2011”).
The Trust has delivered a distribution per unit (“DPU”) of 1.001 cents to its Unitholders for 1Q2011, which will be payable to Unitholders on 14 June 2011.
1Q2011 DPU of 1.001 cents is 16.1% less than the DPU for 4Q2010. This is largely attributable to the distribution being diluted as a result of the recent Rights Issue. Unitholders who exercised their Rights, and as a result have been issued additional Units, will receive a distribution payment not affected by this dilution.
If the Rights Units had been excluded from the distribution calculation (as the capital raised did not contribute to the 1Q2011 earnings), the 1Q2011 DPU would have been 1.126 cents, which is 5.6% less than the previous quarter. This decrease is attributable to dilution from the equity raising in November 2010 and the time being taken to deploy the proceeds of this raise into income earning assets.

1Q result was bringing negative impact to Cambridge. CIT was 0.52cent before this announcement, but dropped to 0.5cent when investor learned about this news. I bought this counter at 0.5cent after the announcement. Many persons doubt that why I bought at this timing? Actually I did research and keep a close eye at this counter few months ago. According to my personal calculation, the fair value is 0.45 - 0.5 cent. Although this quarter is not doing well, but the overall performance is acceptable cum they just done their Right issues which collected S$56.7 million fund.

To me, Singapore property’s phenomenon is who has the cash, who win the profit! REIT needs to expand and acquire more properties to increase their revenue, income and distribution. Hence, now they collected funds, it is time to expand and grow! Work hard Cambridge!
