Just a quick and rough gauge on BSDREIT div.
From Bursa post on the deviation on earning, we get the following :-
For the year ended 31 December 2009, the forecast in the Prospectus dated 15 January 2007 was for a profit after taxation of RM34.8 million compared with the actual of RM83.2 million.
The positive deviation of 139.1% was mainly due to :-
(1) additional income from the fixed rental of RM11.9 million and performance-based profit sharing of RM17.8 million,
(2) reclassification of replanting expenditure of RM9.7 million as capital item,
(3) gain on disposal of investment properties of RM6.5 million,
(4) unrealised gain on valuation of investment in quoted shares of RM1.6 million
(5) recognition of unrealised fair value gain on revaluation of investment properties of RM12.5 million.
(6) the finance costs of RM4.6 million incurred during the year resulting from utilisation of Revolving Credit facility of RM95.0 million for acquisition of Bebar and Malakoff Estates
Based on the profit forecast during the ipo the fixed income distribution of 7.38 cents (3.69 x 2 times) can be attributed to 34.8 million.
The deviation for profit improvement is 83.2 - 34.8 = 48.4 million.
From the 48.4 million we take away all the unrealised gain and fixed income, i.e.
48.4 - 11.9 - 9.7 - 1.6 - 12.5 - 4.6 = RM 8.1 million
So the amount available for additional income distribution is 8.1 million.
If 34.8 million give 7.38 cents, than 8.1 million will give 1.72 cents.
From the bursa posting on income distribution :
Final distribution of 5.61 sen per unit, comprising of Fixed Dividend of 3.69 sen per unit and Variable Dividend of 1.92 sen per unit for the year ended 31 December 2009
HAHA, 1.72 cents compare to 1.92 cents. error of 10%
(1) i dun normalise the taxation effect properly since i am not an accountant
(2) some normalisation is not correct since BSDREIT increase the plantation asset compare to the time during listing.
(3) i think compare to listing and now, the share capital oso different.
May be some accountant can help ......
Anyway to answer to Sopol, 1.92 censt of additional income distribution is justified, and BSDREIT dun keep much cash.
Btw, M-REIT dun retain much profit coz if they distribute less than certain threshold (90% i think) than the REIT is subject to tax at REIT level (not the witholding tax at unit holder level).
U may refer the REIT listing guideline from SC or Bursa.
Ok back to BSDREIT, it is one of my portfolio, and it is a good proxy to palm oil stock and commodity play as well, u get decent div yield in normal year and when Palm Oil boom u get some extra income.
