Dasin Retail Trust

When we buy REIT, many people only look at the Gearing Ratio and DPU (dividend). Many information provided to us during the REIT earning report and annual report but we overlook it. We trust the management will handle well the REIT, so that we can relax and collect our dividend yearly. They are the experts in the property market. No! We need to check and assess them during their quarterly or semi- annually earning report. We need to check if the REIT is still healthy or debt ridden or badly manage or any other issue. Don’t forget it’s our hard earn money.

Auditor's Comments of Accounts on April 2022

Going concern basis of preparation of financial statements (Use of estimates and judgements)

MINUTES OF THE 5th ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING held on 26 APRIL 2022

Qn: Is there a need to divest two properties to the buyout funds? With SHIQI Mall being valued at RMB 2.8B (SGD 596m), taking a haircut of 20% which will amount to RMB 2.24B (SGD 476m), is this still not enough with the remaining outstanding to be satisfied by rights/forgo of dividends/existing cash?

Reply: The MOU was entered into with the aim of providing for the long-term interests of Unitholders and an action for the sustainability of the Trust. (same as no reply)

In addition, the offshore syndicated term loan facility of up to the equivalent of $132.9 million relating to acquisition of Shunde Metro Mall and Tanbei Metro Mall is due on 15 July 2022, and the offshore syndicated term loan facility relating to acquisition of Doumen Metro Mall of up to equivalent of S$105.7 million is due on 19 September 2022. The Trustee-Manager will be working closely with the banks to secure the refinancing of these facilities.

Summary: If Dasin Retail Trust management will to divest Shiqi Metro Mall and Xiaolan Metro Mall, this trust is as good as gone case liao. There are few warning signals since the earnings report release on May 2020. High debts maturity concentration while the management not able to negotiation for refinancing or a new loan. The management only able to extend when the loans are due.
