"The Heads of Agreement between vendor & purchaser provides for a proposed sale price of RM629 million and RM401 million for Starhill Gallery and Lot 10 respectively to be satisfied by cash and/or Convertible Preference Shares in Starhill Global REIT. The selling prices are pretty near current book value. This is what the Manager says:
The adjusted net book value of the Properties based on the audited financial statements as at 30 June 2009 and after adjusting for the value of 42% or 490 of the existing car park bays in Starhill Gallery to be retained by J.W. Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur is RM1,055.5 million. Accordingly, on completion of the Proposed Disposal,
Starhill REIT is expected to realise a net loss on disposal of RM25.5 million for the financial year ending 30 June 2010. The original cost of investment of Starhill Gallery and the Lot 10 Property by Starhill REIT was RM480.0 million and RM341.0 million, respectively. Starhill REIT completed the acquisition of the Properties on 16 December 2005 on the listing of Starhill REIT on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The Proposed Disposal will unlock the value of the Properties as it is expected to
realise an estimated distributable income of RM228.9 million for the financial year ending 30 June 2010."
So is it a loss or gain for STAREIT ?
Also, what properties can be potentially be injected ? I presume its other YTL Hotels.

The issue of loss and gain come from which I guess is (if I am not mistaken, as not read through the whole proposal nor the deal is finalised yet)
Previously your own a property that worth RM500 million, after 3 years, revalue then become RM600 million, so now your NAV in book is RM600 million, but now you dispose at the price of RM580 million, so in this deal, you suffer RM20 million loss, but realise the 80 million gain.
