Debt funding Currently investigating securitisation of major portion of long-term debt Initial indications: significant interest savings possible
Liquidity Stated strategic objective to extend unitholder base and improve liquidity Exercise still under way, but progress already made
Liquidity: volumes
Prospects Market conditions likely to remain favourable Portfolio enhancement will provide strong foundation for organic rental growth Barring the unforeseen, real growth in distributions forecast for coming year
