Under the fair value model of FRS 140, the fair value of the investment property shall reflect market conditions at the balance sheet date (i.e. the investment property is revalued every year). As Axis-REIT has adopted the fair value model stipulated in FRS 140, Axis-REIT will be required to conduct a yearly revaluation on all its real estate properties.

The Revaluation is not subject to the approval of the Securities Commission (“SC”) but the valuation reports of all the abovementioned properties shall be deposited with the SC in accordance with the SC’s Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trusts issued on 21 August 2008 (“SC’s Guidelines on REITs”).

Based on the unaudited results as at 31 December 2009 (before Revaluation), the net asset value per unit of RM1.7661 will increase to RM1.7922 upon incorporation of the revaluation surplus of RM8,023,320.
