The occupancy and average rental rates of the properties in the portfolio have continued to be stable with occupancy rates ranging from 85% to 99% as at the end of the financial year 2015.

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 ("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 whol y owned subsidiary company of United Overseas Australia Ltd, a company incorporated in Australia and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and the 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

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 historical cost, recoverable value, realisable value, and fair value.

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 sel ing it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont'd)
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
MFRS 9 addresses the classification, recognition, derecognition, measurement and impairment of financial assets and financial liabilities, as wel as general hedge accounting. It replaces MFRS 139. MFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories, i.e. at fair value and 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 changes in an entity's own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. MFRS 9 contains a new impairment model based on expected losses (as opposed to ‘incurred loss' model under MFRS 139), i.e. a loss event needs not occur before an impairment loss is recognised, which will result in earlier recognition of losses.
The Manager is currently assessing the impact to the financial statements upon adopting MFRS 9, and intends to adopt MFRS 9 on the mandatory effective date.
(d) Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the Manager to exercise judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. It also requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, and reported amounts of income and expenses during the financial year.
Although these estimates are based on the Manager's best knowledge of current events and actions, historical experiences and various other factors, including expectations for future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may ultimately differ from these 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.

(d) Significant accounting judgements and estimates (cont'd)
Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies The fol owing are judgements made by Directors of the Manager in the process of applying the accounting policies that have the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements: For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities arising from investment properties that are measured using fair value model, the Manager reviews the investment properties and concluded that the investment properties are held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantial y al the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time. Therefore, in making judgement, the Manager has determined that the presumption that the carrying amounts of investment properties measured using the fair value model are recovered entirely through sale is not rebutted.
Accordingly, UOA REIT recognises deferred taxes in respect of the changes in fair value of investment properties. The final tax outcome could be different from the deferred tax liabilities recognised in the financial statement should the investment properties subsequently be disposed rather than consumed substantially all of the economic benefits embodied over time.
(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources associated with estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows: 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.
UOA REIT measures its investment properties at fair value with any change in fair value recognised in the profit or loss. Significant judgement is required in the determination of fair value which may be derived based on different valuation method. In making the judgement, the Manager determines based on past experience and reliance on the work of specialists. UOA REIT engages an independent professional valuer to determine fair value.
Information regarding the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value is disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements.

(e) Plant and equipment
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 wil 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 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 purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of business.
Investment properties are measured initial y 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 profit or loss 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. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the profit or loss.

(g) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. 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 initial y, 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 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.
A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established general y by regulation or convention in the marketplace. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date accounting.
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 al owance for impairment losses. Al 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 specifical y 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.
Al other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Trust only has financial liabilities categorised as financial liabilities at amortised cost.

(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement (cont'd) 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 substantial y al 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 substantial y al 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
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.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis.
(j) Impairment of financial assets
Al financial assets, except for financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss, are assessed at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. Financial assets carried at amortised cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets 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 discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an al owance account. The impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss.
When the asset becomes uncol ectible, 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 substantial y al 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.
(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 substantively 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 wil 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: 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 fol ow 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. Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont'd)

The fair value represents the amount at which the properties could be exchanged on an open market basis between a knowledgeable wil ing buyer and a knowledgeable wil ing sel er in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date. The investment properties as at 31 December 2015 are stated at fair value based on valuations conducted by an independent firm of professional valuers registered with the Board of Valuers, Appraisers & Estate Agents Malaysia using the investment and comparison method of valuation.
The fol owings assumptions have been applied in the valuation: The investment method entails the determination of the probable gross annual rental the property is capable of producing and deducting therefrom the outgoings to arrive at the annual net income.
The comparison method entails comparing the property with comparable properties which have been sold or are being offered for sale and making adjustments for factors which affect value such as location and accessibility, size, building construction and finishes, building services, management and maintenance, age and state of repair, market conditions and other relevant characteristics. The fair value of investment properties is classified under Level 3 and was determined using investment method.

23. PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RATIO
Portfolio Turnover Ratio ("PTR") (times) PTR is the ratio of the average sum of acquisition and disposal of the Trust for the financial year to the average value of the Trust fund for the financial year calculated on a weekly basis.
As there were no acquisitions and disposals of investment properties during the financial year, hence PTR is nil.
Since the average value of the Trust fund is calculated on a weekly basis, comparisons of the PTR of the Trust with other real estate investment trust which uses a different basis of calculation may not be an accurate comparison.
24. MANAGEMENT EXPENSE RATIO
Management Expense Ratio ("MER") MER is calculated based on the total administrative expenses incurred by the Trust divided by the average value of the Trust fund for the financial year calculated on a weekly basis.
Since the average value of the Trust fund is calculated on a weekly basis, comparison of the MER of the Trust with other real estate investment trust which uses a different basis of calculation may not be an accurate comparison.

Financial Liabilities
Payables (see Note 8) Borrowings – revolving credits (see Note 9) Total financial liabilities (b) Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and borrowings approximate fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments.

29. 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: 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-col ectibility of monthly rentals is also mitigated with rental deposits col ected from the tenants.
The ageing analysis of receivables as at the reporting date which is trade in nature is as follows: Less than 30 days past due Between 30 to 90 days past due More than 90 days past due Less than 30 days past due Between 30 to 90 days past due More than 90 days past due Movements in the allowance for the doubtful debts of trade receivables are as follows: Addition during the year Allowance no longer required Bad debts written off Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont'd)
29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES (CONT'D)
(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.
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/profit rates on the revolving credits 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 al other variables held constant, the Trust's profit after tax would decrease or increase by RM1,892,000 (2014 : RM1,897,000), as a result of higher or lower interest expense on these borrowings.
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, internal y 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 wil be rol ed over and remain available for the long term and there is no imminent obligation to repay.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of financial liabilities at the reporting date based on contractual undiscounted cash flows.
