of approximately RM427.0 million and a portfolio independently valued at RM808.0 million.

price and capital growth while maintaining an appropriate capital structure.
Investment Policies

Gross Revenue
For FY2021, KIP REIT recorded total gross revenue of RM74.2 million as compared to RM74.5 million in FY2020. Total gross
revenue is comprised of Gross Rental Income of RM65.0 million (FY2020: RM66.0 million) and revenue from contracts
with customers of RM9.2 million (FY2020: RM8.5 million). The slight decline of 0.4% from the previous financial year is
predominately due to amortisation of rental rebates granted to eligible tenants as assistance in FY2020, additional rental
assistance provided to affected tenants during FY2021 and a slight decline in occupancy rate during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The effect of the decline was partially cushioned by the step up rental at AEON Mall Kinta City.
The three contributors of total gross revenue are AEON Mall Kinta City at RM17.1 million (FY2020: RM15.0 million), KIPMall
Masai at RM15.6 million (FY2020: RM16.4 million), and KIPMall Tampoi at RM15.3 million (FY2020: RM16.5 million). The slight
decline in gross revenue at KIPMall Masai and KIPMall Tampoi is reflective of, among others, the transitional period during
the fitting out of mini-anchors Jalan Jalan Japan and Mr. Dollar and Mr. Toy at the respective malls.

Property Expenses
Total property expenses of each investment property are set out in the table below:
A total of RM17.6 million of property expenses was recorded in FY2021 as compared to RM18.5 million in FY2020. The decline
of 5.0% of property expenses is the result of factors including tighter fiscal management, a 10% discount on electricity
expenses granted to the properties as part of the Covid-19 package and a decrease in reimbursements costs following the
streamlining of workflow and structuring of headcount at the property management level.
Income Distribution
The Manager had recommended to the Trustee on 29 July 2021 and the Trustee had approved on 29 July 2021 a final
income distribution of 2.1 sen per unit totalling RM10.6 million. Four quarterly income distributions were declared with a
Distribution Per Unit of 6.84 sen per unit totalling RM34.6 million in total distribution, representing 90.3% of current year
realised distributable income. This translates to a distribution yield of 8.09% based on KIP REIT’s closing unit price of 0.845
as at 30 June 2021.

Trade Receivables
Trade receivables saw an increase from RM1.6 million to RM2.4 million during this financial year as a result of rising economic
challenges faced by tenants in view of the restrictions imposed. Countermeasures are being implemented to monitor the
ageing profile to maintain strict control over outstanding receivables. Overdue balances are regularly reviewed and ongoing
communication with tenants to closely follow up on rental arrears taking into consideration of current economic environment.
Total Borrowings
There were no material changes to the borrowing structure during FY2021. KIP REIT’s gearing ratio remains well below the
50% threshold under SC’s REIT Guidelines.
KIP REIT’s wholly owned subsidiary issued its maiden Medium Term Note with a nominal value of RM310.0 million with a
perpetual term of up to RM2.0 billion under the Medium Term Note Programme in July 2019 for the acquisition of AEON Mall
Kinta City. The issuance comprises of RM210.0 million of fixed borrowing rate and RM100.0 million of floating borrowing rate,
acting as a natural hedge against movement in interest rates. As a result, the latter portion has benefited from the cut in the
Overnight Policy Rate to 1.75 % as at 7 July 2021 lowering the blended effective rate accordingly.
KIP REIT’s Net Asset Value per unit after income distribution is 1.0160 as compared to RM1.009 in the previous financial year
reflecting an improvement from the higher realised profit after tax.

Tenancy Management
As at 30 June 2021, the total number of tenancies stood at 807 (FY2020: 855), which accounted for 1,349,901 square feet
of total Net Lettable Area, representing 91.10% of total Net Lettable Area of 1,481,761 square feet. The overall average
occupancy rate of the KIP REIT portfolio stood at 89.62% for FY2021.
Fluctuating numbers of Covid-19 infections throughout the financial year has resulted in restrictions being imposed from
time to time causing disruptions across the retail sector. The Manager expects that market uncertainties will likely exert
pressure on rental rates and rental renewals in the near-term future. As a result, targeted countermeasures have been put
in place including offering shorter term tenancies and short-term extensions to tenancies.
Tenancies expiring in KIPMall Tampoi contributes to the largest number of tenancies expiring in FY2022. For tenancies which
expired during FY2021, 71.3% renewal rate was achieved despite the challenging market conditions.

Bangi. The occupancy rate for KIPMall Tampoi and KIPMall Masai fell by 8.9 and 6.5 percentage point respectively due to
a transitionary period for fitting out works by anchor tenants during the financial year. AEON Mall Kinta City retains a 100%

remains with 5 retail complexes with a total space of 0.6 million square feet.
Retail in Perak
According to the property market report by Valuation and Property Services Department (JPPH), there are 75 existing
shopping complexes in Perak offering a total retail space of approximately 10.25 million square feet in the retail market.
Shopping centres are predominantly located in Ipoh. No new construction or approval has been recorded for shopping
complexes.
Prospects
The Manager remains cautious in the near term future as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to pose challenges to the
retail industry. Private spending is expected to continue to drive the Malaysian economy although consumer sentiments
remains subdued as a result of rising Covid-19 infections in Malaysia. Much of the retail sector will continue to be affected
by the Covid-19 pandemic with restrictions expected to be imposed from time to time and social distancing measures
to continue to be imposed in the near future. The Manager will continue to monitor the situation and adapt accordingly
to strike an appropriate balance between occupancy rates and rental reversion in addition to leveraging its “essential
goods and services” leasing strategies in the management of the respective KIPMalls. The Manager continues to seek
for acquisition opportunities that may arise in the coming financial year inclusive of industrial or commercial properties
including warehousing facilities, logistics facilities and manufacturing sites.

( b) to ensure that any current assets, other than debts, which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of business
including the value of current assets as shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Fund had been
written down to an amount which the current assets they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the Manager is not aware of any circumstances:-
( a) which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the
financial statements of the Group and of the Fund inadequate to any substantial extent;
( b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Fund
misleading; or
( c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and
of the Fund misleading or inappropriate.
No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve (12)
months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Manager, will or may affect the ability of the Group or
of the Fund to meet its obligations when they fall due.
( a) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Fund which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures
the liability of any other person; or
( b) any contingent liability of the Group or of the Fund which has arisen since the end of the financial year.
At the date of this report, the Manager is not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the
financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.
( a) the results of the Group’s and of the Fund’s operations during the financial year were not substantially affected by any
item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature; and
( b) there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction
or event of a material and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Group and of
the Fund for the financial year in which this report is made.
MATERIAL LITIGATION
The Manager is not aware of any material litigation as at the date of statement of financial position and up to the date of this
report.

Our opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements of KIP Real Estate Investment Trust (“KIP REIT” or “Fund”) and its subsidiary (“the
Group”) give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and KIP REIT as at 30 June 2021, and of their financial
performance and their cash flows for the financial year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting
Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial
statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group and KIP REIT, the accounting processes and controls,
and the industry in which the Group and KIP REIT operate.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon
The Directors of the Manager are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Corporate
Overview, Year in Review, Board of Directors and Management Team, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Statement,
the Manager’s Report and the Trustee’s Report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and KIP REIT and
our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and KIP REIT does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and KIP REIT, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
of the Group and KIP REIT or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
In preparing the financial statements of the Group and KIP REIT, the Directors of the Manager are responsible for assessing
the Group’s and KIP REIT’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors of the Manager either intend to liquidate the Group or
KIP REIT or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing,
we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
( a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and KIP REIT, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
( b) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and KIP
REIT’s internal control.
( c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Directors.
( e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and KIP REIT, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and KIP REIT represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
( f ) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors of the Manager regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Directors of the Manager with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Directors of the Manager, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the Group and KIP REIT for the current financial year and are therefore
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
OTHER MATTERS
This report is made solely to the unitholders of KIP REIT as a body and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility
to any other person for the content of this report.

1 GENERAL
KIP REIT is a Malaysia-domiciled real estate investment trust (“REIT”) established on 2 November 2016 pursuant to the
deed of trust dated 2 November 2016, an amended and restated deed dated 12 December 2019, and a supplementary
deed dated 29 September 2020 (collectively referred to as the (“Deed”) between the Manager and Pacific Trustees
Berhad (“Trustee”), listed on Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) on 6 February 2017
and regulated by the Securities Commission Act 1993, the Securities Commission Malaysia’s Guidelines on Real
Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT Guidelines”), the Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities, the Rules of Bursa Malaysia
Depository (“Depository”) and taxation laws and rulings. The addresses of the Manager’s registered office and principal
place of business are as follows:-
The principal investment policy of KIP REIT is to invest, directly and indirectly, in a portfolio of income producing real
estate used for retail purposes, and for industrial or commercial purposes, including, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, warehousing facilities, logistic facilities and manufacturing sites as well as real estate-related assets. The
nature of KIP REIT’s investment shall be long-term, with a period of at least five years.
The financial statements as at and for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 comprise KIP REIT and its wholly-owned
special purpose company, KIP REIT Capital Sdn. Bhd., a company incorporated in Malaysia, of which the principal activity
is to raise financing for and on behalf of KIP REIT.
The Manager’s key objective is to provide unitholders with regular and stable distributions, sustainable long term Unit
price and distributable income and capital growth, while maintaining an appropriate capital structure.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Manager on 12 August 2021.
KIP REIT entered into several service agreements in relation to the management of KIP REIT and its property operations.
The fee structures are as follows:-
In addition, the property manager is also entitled to full disbursement of costs and expenses properly incurred in the
operation, maintenance, management and marketing of the properties held by KIP REIT (“Permitted Expenses”) as well
as fees and reimbursements for Permitted Expenses payable to its service providers.
Pursuant to the Deed, the Manager is entitled to receive the following fees from KIP REIT, in the forms of cash,
new Units or a combination thereof at the election of the Management Company in its sole discretion:-
(i) a base fee (“Base Fee”) of up to 1.0% per annum of the Total Asset Value of KIP REIT (excluding cash and
bank balances which are held in non-interest bearing accounts).
(ii) a performance fee (“Performance Fee”) of up to 5.0% per annum of the Net Property Income of KIP REIT.
(a) in relation to an acquisition (whether directly or indirectly through the Trustee or one or more SPV of KIP
REIT) of any Real Estate or Real Estate-Related Assets, the transaction value (being the total purchase
price) of any Real Estate or any Real Estate-Related Assets purchased by KIP REIT or its SPV (pro-rated,
if applicable, to the proportion of KIP REIT’s interest); or
(b) in relation to an acquisition (whether directly or indirectly through one or more SPV of KIP REIT) of any
SPV or holding entities which holds Real Estate, the underlying value of any Real Estate (pro-rated, if
applicable, to the proportion of KIP REIT’s interest).
Any payment to third party agents or brokers in connection with the acquisition of any Real Estate and Real
Estate-Related Assets for KIP REIT shall not be paid by the Manager out of the acquisition fee received or to be
received by the Manager (but shall be borne by KIP REIT).
For the avoidance of doubt, no Acquisition Fee is payable with respect to the acquisition of the Subject Properties
in connection with the Listing of KIP REIT but acquisition fee is payable with respect to all other transactions
(which includes related party and non-related party transactions), including acquisitions from the sponsor.
(a) in relation to a disposal (whether directly or indirectly through the Trustee or one or more SPV of KIP
REIT) of any Real Estate or Real Estate-Related Assets, the transaction value (being the total sale
price) of any Real Estate or Real Estate-Related Assets disposed of by KIP REIT or its SPV (pro-rated, if
applicable, to the proportion of KIP REIT’s interest); or
(b) in relation to a disposal (whether directly or indirectly through one or more SPV of KIP REIT) of any
SPV or holding entities which holds Real Estate, the underlying value of any Real Estate (pro-rated, if
applicable, to the proportion of KIP REIT’s interest).
Any payment to third party agents or brokers in connection with the sale or divestment of any Real Estate
and Real Estate-Related Assets for KIP REIT shall not be paid by the Manager out of the divestment fee
received or to be received by the Manager (but shall be borne by KIP REIT).
The Divestment Fee is payable with respect to all transactions (which includes related party and non-
related party transactions), including divestments to the Promoters, as well as for compulsory acquisitions.
The payment of the Management Company’s management fee in the form of new Units will be in
accordance with the following formula:
For this purpose, “Market Price” means the volume weighted average market price of Units for the last 5
Market Days preceding the following events:
(i) in respect of the Base Fee and Performance Fee, the announcement of the relevant quarterly reports;
or
(ii) in respect of the Acquisition Fee and Divestment Fee, the completion of the relevant acquisition/
divestment,
With reference to any Book Closing Date, where the Trigger Event is before but the issuance of the new
Units relating to such Trigger Event is after the said Books Closing Date, the Market Price will be further
adjusted for the entitlement relating to such Books Closing Date.
The Management Company will make immediate announcements to Bursa Securities disclosing the
number of new Units issued and the Issue Price when new Units are issued as payment for Management
Fee. Payment of the Management fees in Units shall be subject to KIP REIT complying with the public
spread requirements stated in the Listing Requirements and there being no adverse implications under the
Malaysian Code on Take-Overs and Mergers 2010.
The trustee of KIP REIT Capital Sdn. Bhd., Malaysian Trustees Berhad, is entitled to receive a predetermined
annual fixed fee.
The financial statements of the Group and the Fund have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the
Deed, REIT Guidelines, Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) and International Financial Reporting
Standards. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing
Requirements of Bursa Securities.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the
summary of significant accounting policies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. It also requires Directors of the Manager to exercise their judgment in the process
of applying KIP REIT’s accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgment are based on the Directors
of the Manager’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ. The areas involving
a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the
financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
The Group and the Fund have applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for the financial
year beginning on 1 July 2020:
The adoption of new standards and amendments listed above did not have any material impact on the financial
statements in the current financial year or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.
The Group and the Fund intend to apply the following accounting standards, interpretation and amendments
from the annual period beginning on 1 July 2021 except Amendments to MFRS 141, Agriculture (Annual
Improvements to MFRS Standards 2018−2020), MFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, MFRS 17, Insurance Contracts and
MFRS 128, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Sales or Contribution of Asset between an Investor
and its Associate or Joint Ventures as it is not applicable to the Group and the Fund:
(i) MFRSs, Interpretations and amendments effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2021
The initial application of the above standards, amendments and interpretation are not expected to have any
material financial impacts on the Group’s and the Fund’s financial statements.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the period presented in these financial
statements by KIP REIT.
(a) Consolidation
KIP REIT applies predecessor accounting to account for business combinations under common control i.e.
combination involving entities or businesses under common control. Under the predecessor accounting,
assets and liabilities acquired are not restated to their respective fair values but at the carrying amounts
from the consolidated financial statements of the holding company. The difference between any
consideration given and the aggregate carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities (at the date of the
transaction) of the acquired business is recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. No additional
goodwill is recognised. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The acquired business’ results
and the related statement of financial position items are recognised prospectively from the date on which
the business combination between entities under common control occurred.
(ii) Subsidiary
Subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiary is fully consolidated
from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. It is deconsolidated from the date that control
ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration
transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred
to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration
transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration
arrangement and fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions,
measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis,
either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of
acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree
and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the
identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-
controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net
assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in
statement of comprehensive income.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity
interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and any gains or losses arising
from such re-measurement are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition
date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset
or liability is recognised in accordance with MFRS 9 in the statement of comprehensive income. Contingent
consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted
for within equity.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group and company
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the transferred asset.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the Group.
In the Fund’s separate financial statements, investment in subsidiary is carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. On disposal of investment in subsidiary, the difference between disposal proceeds and
the carrying amounts of the investment is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
The amount due from subsidiary of which the Fund does not expect repayment in the foreseeable future
are considered as part of the Fund’s investment in the subsidiary.
Investment properties are held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and are not
substantially occupied by the Group and the Fund.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including related transaction costs and borrowing costs if
the investment property meets the definition of a qualifying asset.
After initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value. Fair value is based on valuation using
an income method, where cash flows projections are capitalised using a capitalisation rate, which takes into
account the unexpired period, yield and sinking fund, where applicable. Valuations are performed as of the
financial position date by professional valuers who hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications and
have recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued.
The fair value of the investment property reflects the market conditions at the reporting date. It reflects, among
others, rental income from current leases and reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent what
market participants would assume about rental income from future leases in the light of current conditions. It
also reflects, on a similar basis, any cash outflows that could be expected in respect of the property. Some of
those outflows are reflected in liability whereas others relate to outflows that are not recognised in the financial
statements until a later date.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the Fund, and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an
investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
Changes in fair values are recognised in statement of comprehensive income for the period in which it arises.
Investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed of or when the investment property
is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Where the
Group disposes of a property at fair value in an arm’s length transaction, the carrying value immediately prior
to the sale is adjusted to the transaction price, and the adjustment is recorded within net gain from fair value
adjustment on investment property.
(c) Equipment
Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost also
includes borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of a qualifying asset.
Cost of equipment includes purchase price and any direct attributable costs. Cost includes the cost of replacing
part of an existing equipment at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the
costs of day-to-day servicing of the equipment.
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 item will flow to the Group and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other
repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the period in which
they are incurred.
Depreciation on capital work-in-progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis to write-off the cost of the assets to their expected residual
values over their estimated useful lives, summarised as follows:-
Residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. The
assessment of expected residual values and estimated useful lives of assets is carried out on an annual basis.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indications
exist, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is fully recoverable. A write-
down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Please refer to accounting policy on
impairment of non-financial assets (Note 3(e)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net disposal proceeds with carrying amount and
are included in net property income in the statement of comprehensive income.
(i) Classification
The Group and the Fund have applied MFRS 9 and classify the financial assets at amortised cost. The
classification depends on the Group and the Fund business model for managing the financial assets and
the contractual terms of the cash flows.
Financial assets are recognised on trade date, the date which the Group and the Fund commit to purchase
or sell the assets. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial
assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group and the Fund have transferred substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership.
(iii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group and the Fund measure a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a
financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’), transaction costs that are directly attributable
to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed
in the statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether
their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest (‘SPPI’).
Debt instrument
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s and the Fund’s business model for
managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group and the Fund reclassify debt
investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
The Group and the Fund classify its debt instrument into financial assets at amortised cost.
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent SPPI are
measured at amortised cost. The carrying amount of these asset is adjusted for any expected credit losses
that are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Interest income from these financial assets
is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain
or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income. The
Group and the Fund classify trade and other receivables (Note 8) and cash and cash equivalents (Note 9)
as financial assets at amortised cost.
The Group and the Fund assess on a forward looking basis the expected credit loss (‘ECL’) associated with
its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether
there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of MFRS 9, the identified
impairment loss was immaterial.
ECL represent a probability-weighted estimate of the difference between present value of cash flows
according to contract and present value of cash flows the Group and the Fund expect to receive, over the
remaining life of the financial instrument.
The Group and the Fund apply the MFRS 9 simplified approach to measure ECL which uses a lifetime ECL
for all trade receivables and contract assets. Note 23.1(b) sets out the measurement details of ECL.
General 3-stage approach for other receivables and non-trade intercompany balances
At each reporting date, the Group and the Fund measure ECL through loss allowance at an amount equal
to 12 month ECL if credit risk on a financial instrument or a group of financial instruments has not increased
significantly since initial recognition. For all other financial instruments, a loss allowance at an amount equal
to lifetime ECL is required. Note 23.1(b) sets out the measurement details of ECL.
The Group and the Fund consider the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether
there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period.
To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Group and the Fund compare the risk
of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial
recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportable forward-looking information.
The Group and the Fund define a financial instrument as default, which is fully aligned with the definition of
credit-impaired, when it meets one or more of the following criteria:
Quantitative criteria:
The Group and the Fund define a financial instrument as default, when the counterparty fails to make
contractual payment within 90 days of when they fall due.
Qualitative criteria:
The debtor meets unlikeliness to pay criteria, which indicates the debtor is in significant financial difficulty.
The Group and the Fund consider the following instances:
a. the debtor is in breach of financial covenants
b. concessions have been made by the lender relating to the debtor’s financial difficulty
c. it is becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation
d. the debtor is insolvent
Write-off
I. Trade receivables
Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there
is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a
repayment plan with the Group and the Fund, and/or legal action is taken against the debtor.
Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within net property income.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.
The Group and the Fund write off financial assets, in whole or in part, when it has exhausted all practical
recovery efforts and has concluded there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The assessment of no
reasonable expectation of recovery is based on unavailability of debtor’s sources of income or assets to
generate sufficient future cash flows to repay the amount. The Group and the Fund may write-off financial
assets that are still subject to enforcement activity. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written
off will result in impairment gains.
Equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount
of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less
costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels
for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).
The impairment loss is charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they are
incurred and any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income during the period in which they are incurred.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, deposits held
at call with licensed financial institutions, other short term and highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three (3) months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts, if any, are included in within borrowings in current liabilities
in the statement of financial position.
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Other receivables generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Group and the
Fund. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), they
are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they
contain significant financing components, where they are recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Other
receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs. Transaction costs include transfer taxes
and duties.
After recognition, trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less impairment allowance.
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business from suppliers or vendors. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due
within one (1) year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as
non-current liabilities.
Trade payables, deposits received from tenants and other payables are recognised initially at fair value, net of
transaction cost incurred, which include transfer taxes and duties, if applicable and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the Fund
after deducting all of its liabilities. Units are equity instruments.
Units are recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction costs. Units are
classified as equity. Distributions on units are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared and
authorised by the Trustee.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods,
borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method; any difference between proceeds
(net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income
over the period of borrowings. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group and the Fund have
an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve (12) months after the reporting date.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent
that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn-down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the
draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be
drawn-down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity and amortised over the period of the facility to
which it relates.
Borrowings costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of any qualifying asset are
capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or
sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended
use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are
incurred.
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the performance of services in
the ordinary course of the Group and the Fund’s activities. Revenue is shown net of rebates and discounts.
When assets are leased out under an operating lease, the asset is included in the statement of financial position
based on the nature of the asset. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
Lease income on operating lease is made up of base rent charges from tenants and turnover or percentage
rent charges from tenants. Base rent from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. Turnover or percentage rent is recognised based on sales reported by tenants. When KIP REIT provides
incentives to its tenants, the cost of incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a
reduction of rental income.
Rental rebates offered to tenants by the Group and the Fund which are not based on terms contained in the
original tenancy agreements are accounted for as a lease modification. The rental rebates are recognised as a
reduction to the rental income from the effective date of modification over the remaining lease term.
Revenue which represents income from the Group and the Fund’s principal activities within the ordinary course
of business and is recognised by reference to each distinct performance obligation promised in the contract
with customer when or as the Group and the Fund transfers the control of the goods or services promised
in a contract and the customer obtains control of the goods or services. Depending on the substance of the
respective contract with customer, the control of the promised goods or services may transfer over time or at a
point in time.
Revenue from sales of prepaid utilities reimbursement is recognised when services are being rendered. The
credits on prepaid utilities reimbursement from tenants can be deferred up to the point of utilisation, which such
amounts are recognised as income. Credits of prepaid utilities are recognised as revenue when services are
rendered. Unutilised credits of prepaid utilities reimbursement sold to tenants for which services are yet to be
rendered is presented as deferred income in the statement of financial position.
Rental of concession space such as promotional areas and other rent related income are included in other
income and are recognised in the accounting period in which the services being rendered.
Upon adoption of MFRS 15 and MFRS 9, interest income is recognised and accounted for based on MFRS 9
requirements. The disclosure of accounting policy below should be provided under “Interest income” (as it does
not arise from the scope of MFRS 15):
Interest income
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial
asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets
the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss
allowance).
Manager’s management fees are recognised in statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they
are incurred. If, the payment of the Manager’s management fees is in the form of new Units, such payment is
determined by reference to the market price of the Units as set out in Note 1(b).
Tax is recognised in statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
end of the reporting period.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts
expected to be paid to the tax authorities. This liability is measured using the single best estimate of the most
likely outcome.
Where investment properties are carried at their fair value in accordance with the accounting policy set out in
Note 3(b), the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured using the tax rates that would apply on the sale
of those assets at their carrying value at the reporting date unless the property is depreciable and is held with
the objective to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather
than through sale. In all other cases, the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected
manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying value of the Group and the Fund’s investment properties is assumed to be realised through
continuous use.
(m) Leases
i) Definition of a lease
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the
use of an identified asset, the Group and the Fund assess whether:
• the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and
should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset.
If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
• the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset
throughout the period of use; and
• the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset. The customer has this right when it has the
decision making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.
In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined,
the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset if either the customer has the right to operate
the asset; or the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose
it will be used.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group and the Fund
allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their
relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of properties in which the Group and the Fund is a lessee,
it has elected not to separate non-lease components and will instead account for the lease and non-lease
components as a single lease component.
(a) As a lessee
Leases are recognised as right-of-use (‘ROU’) asset and a corresponding liability at the date on
which the leased asset is available for use (i.e. the commencement date).
In determining the lease term, facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to
exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option are considered. Extension
options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is
reasonably certain to be extended (or not to be terminated).
The lease term is reassessed upon the occurrence of a significant event or change in circumstances
that is within the control of the Group and the Fund and affect whether the Group and the Fund
are reasonably certain to exercise an option not previously included in the determination of
lease term, or not to exercise an option previously included in the determination of lease term. A
revision in lease term results in remeasurement of the lease liabilities.
Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. Consideration in the contract is
allocated to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone prices.
ROU assets
ROU assets that are not investment properties are subsequently measured at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and impairment loss (if any). The ROU assets are generally depreciated
over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the
Group and the Fund are reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the ROU assets are
depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. In addition, the ROU assets are adjusted for
certain remeasurement of the lease liabilities.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid
at that date. The lease payments include the following:
• Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentive receivable;
• Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the
index or rate as at the commencement date;
• Amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees;
• The exercise price of a purchase and extension options if it is reasonably certain to exercise
that option; and
• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group and the
Fund exercising that option.
Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be
readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group and the Fund, the lessee’s
incremental borrowing is used. This is the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to
borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the ROU in a similar economic
environment with similar term, security and conditions.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged
to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant
periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income in the period in which the condition that triggers those payments occurs.
Lease liabilities are presented as a separate line item in the statement of financial position.
Interest expense on the lease liability is presented within the finance cost in the statement of
comprehensive income.
Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of twelve (12) months or less. Payments associated
with short-term leases and low value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense
in the statement of comprehensive income.
(b) As a lessor
As a lessor, the Group and the Fund determine at lease inception whether each lease is a finance
lease or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Group and the Fund make an overall assessment of whether the lease
transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset
to the lessee. As part of this assessment, the Group and the Fund consider certain indicators such
as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
Finance leases
The Group and the Fund classify a lease as a finance lease if the lease transfers substantially all
the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee.
The Group and the Fund derecognise the underlying asset and recognise a receivable at an
amount equal to the net investment in a finance lease. Net investment in a finance lease is
measured at an amount equal to the sum of the present value of lease payments from lessee
and the unguaranteed residual value of the underlying asset. Initial direct costs are also included
in the initial measurement of the net investment. The net investment is subject to impairment
under MFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. In addition, the Group and the Fund review regularly the
estimated unguaranteed residual value.
Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method so as
to reflect a constant periodic rate of return. The Group and the Fund revise the lease income
allocation if there is a reduction in the estimated unguaranteed residual value.
Operating leases
The Group and the Fund classify a lease as an operating lease if the lease does not transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee.
The Group and the Fund recognise lease payments received under operating lease as lease
income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When assets are leased out under an operating lease, the asset is included in the lessor’s
statement of financial position based on the nature of the asset.
Rental income on operating leases is recognised over the term of the lease on a straight-line
basis. Rental income is shown net of rebates and discounts. Rental income includes base rent,
percentage rent and other rent related income from tenants. Base rent is recognised on a straight-
line basis over the lease term. Percentage rent is recognised based on sales reported by tenants.
When the Group and the Fund provide incentives or rebates to the tenants, the cost of incentives
or rebates is recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rental
income. Initial direct cost incurred by the Group and the Fund in negotiating and arranging an
operating lease is recognised as an asset and amortised over the lease term on the same basis
as the rental income.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group and the Fund allocate
the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on the stand-
alone selling prices in accordance with the principles in MFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with
Customers”.
Items included in the financial statements of the Group and the Fund are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the Group and the Fund operate (“functional currency”). The financial
statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is Group and the Fund’s functional and presentation currency.
The Group and the Fund’s earnings per Unit (“EPU”) are presented on basic and diluted format.
Basic EPU is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to unitholders of the Group and the Fund by the
weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPU is determined by adjusting the comprehensive income attributable to unitholders against the
weighted average number of units outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential units.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the senior
management team.
The senior management team, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the
Manager, that makes strategic decisions.
In accordance with the REIT Guidelines, NAV is the value of the Group and the Fund’s assets less the value of
the Group and the Fund’s liabilities.
Distribution of income should only be made from realised gains or realised income in accordance with REIT
Guidelines.
Distribution of income should be made after the Manager has taken into consideration the total returns for the
period, income for the period, cash flow for distribution, stability and sustainability of income and the investment
objective and distribution policy of the Group and the Fund.
Liability is recognised for the amount of any distribution declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer
at the discretion of the Group and the Fund, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at
the end of the reporting period.
Distribution adjustments made in accordance with the REIT Guidelines are disclosed in Note 19.
(s) Realised and unrealised profit or loss analysis in statement of comprehensive income
In accordance with the REIT Guidelines, a charge or a credit to the statement of comprehensive income is
deemed as realised when it is resulted from the consumption of resource of all types and form, regardless of
whether it is consumed in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. A resource may be consumed through
sale or use.
Where a credit or a charge to the statement of comprehensive income upon initial recognition or subsequent
measurement of an asset or a liability is not attributed to consumption of resource, such credit or charge should
be deemed as unrealised until the consumption of resource could be demonstrated. Unrealised profit or loss
comprises mainly the changes in fair value on investment properties.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the Directors of the Manager and are based on historical
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
The Group and the Fund make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates
will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain
key variables that are anticipated to have material impact to the Group and the Fund’s results and financial position
are tested for sensitivity to changes in the underlying parameters. The estimates and assumptions that may have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year are outlined below.
The principal assumptions underlying estimation of fair value of investment properties are those related to term rental,
reversionary rental, other income, outgoings, capitalisation rate and allowance for void.
Investment properties are stated at fair value based on valuations performed by C H Williams Talhar & Wong Sdn. Bhd.
(2020: C H Williams Talhar & Wong Sdn. Bhd. ) (“the Valuer”), an independent professional valuer who holds a recognised
relevant professional qualification and has recent experience in the locations and categories of the investment
properties valued.
The valuations are compared with actual market yield data, actual transactions and those reported by the market, when
available. Assumptions used are mainly based on market conditions existing at each reporting date.
Sensitivity analysis on fair value of investment properties as valued by the Valuer is disclosed in Note 6.

KIPMall Masai, KIPMall Bangi and AEON Mall Kinta City (“AMKC”) are charged as a security for bank borrowings as
disclosed in Note 11.
Investment properties are stated at fair value based on valuations performed by an independent registered valuer, the
Valuer, who holds a recognised relevant professional qualification and have relevant experience in valuing investment
properties.
Based on the valuation reports dated 8 July 2021 issued by the Valuer, the fair values of the investment properties as at
30 June 2021 were RM808.0 million (2020: RM807.0 million).
Fair value is determined based on income approach method using Level 3 inputs (defined as unobservable inputs for
asset or liability) in the fair value hierarchy of MFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’. Under the income approach, the fair
value of the investment properties is derived from an estimate of the market rental which the investment properties
can reasonably be let for. Rental evidence may be obtained from actual passing rents commanded by the investment
properties if they are tenanted. Outgoings, such as quit rent and assessment, utilities costs, reimbursable manpower
costs, repair and maintenance, insurance premium, asset enhancement initiatives as well as management expenses,
are then deducted from the rental income. Thereafter, the net annual rental income is capitalised at an appropriate
current market yield to arrive at its fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income during the period in which they are reviewed.
There has been no change to the valuation techniques used during the financial year.

legal maturity date is 7 years from the issuance date. The transaction costs relating to the MTN issuance of RM310.0
million are amortised and charged to profit or loss over the expected tenure of the MTN.
The MTN is secured over the investment properties and pledged deposits as indicated in Note 6 and Note 9 to the
financial statements.
The STRC is to finance working capital of KIP REIT. The STRC is subject to annual review and repayable on demand. The
STRC bears an interests rate of 1.25% per annum above cost of funds (as determined by the Bank at the commencement

Pursuant to Section 61A of the Malaysian Income Tax Act, 1967 (“Act”), income of KIP REIT will be exempted from tax
provided that at least 90% of its total taxable income (as defined in the Act) is distributed to the investors in the basis
period of KIP REIT for that year of assessment within two (2) months after the close of the financial year. If the 90%
distribution condition is not complied with or the 90% distribution is not made within two (2) months after the close of
KIP REIT financial year which forms the basis period for a year of assessment, KIP REIT will be subject to income tax at
the prevailing rate on its total taxable income. Income which has been taxed at the KIP REIT level will have tax credits
attached when subsequently distributed to unitholders.
As income distribution to unitholders for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 is more than 90% of total distributable
income, no provision for income taxation has been made for the current year.
The calculation of EPU is based on total comprehensive income attributable to unitholders divided by the weighted
average number of Units.

The final distributable income for the 3 months ended 30 June 2021 is proposed to be 2.100 sen per unit for the period
from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2021, which was declared on 29 July 2021 and is payable on 27 August 2021. The financial
statements for the current year ended 30 June 2021 do not reflect this final distributable income. This will be accounted
in the statement of changes in net asset value as an appropriation of retained earnings in the next financial year ending
30 June 2022.
The calculation of PTR is based on the average value of total acquisitions and disposals of investments in KIP REIT for
the financial year to the average NAV during the financial year, which is in accordance with the REIT Guidelines.
Save for placement and upliftment of fixed deposits, there was no acquisition during the financial year.
Since the basis of calculating PTR can vary among REITs, there is no consistent or coherent basis for providing an
accurate comparison of KIP REIT’s PTR against other REITs.
The calculation of the MER is based on the Fund’s total operating expenses (Manager’s management fees, trustees’
fees and other trust expenses) incurred for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 to the average NAV (after income
distribution) as at 30 June 2021, which is in accordance with the REIT Guidelines.
Since the basis of calculating MER can vary among REITs, there is no consistent or coherent basis for providing an
accurate comparison of KIP REIT’s MER against other REITs.
22 SEGMENT REPORTING
The senior management team makes the strategic resource allocations on behalf of the Manager. The Manager has
determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the senior management team that are used to
make strategic decisions.
The primary segment reporting format is determined to be geographical segments as the Group’s risks and rates of
return are affected predominantly by differences in net property income (“NPI”) margin from different geographical
location.
The Group’s geographical segments are based on the location of the Group’s assets. The Group’s main geographical
segments operate in three main geographical areas:
(i) Central region – the operations in this region include KIPMall Bangi, KIPMall Melaka and KIPMall Senawang;
(ii) Southern region – the operations in this region include KIPMall Tampoi, KIPMall Masai and KIPMall Kota Tinggi; and
(iii) Northern region – the operations in this region include AMKC.
Revenues derived from the Northern region amount to approximately 23.1% (2020: 20.1%) of total gross revenue are
derived from a single tenant.
The Manager assesses the financial performance of the operating segments based on, including but not limited to, NPI
and NPI margin. The NPI enables financial performance benchmarking as such basis eliminates the effect of financing
and investment decisions which may not be made at operating level.

KIP REIT’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk (including fair value interest rate risk), credit
risk, liquidity and cash flow risk. KIP REIT’s overall financial risk management objective is to ensure that it creates value
for its unitholders. KIP REIT focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to mitigate potential adverse
effects on the financial performance of KIP REIT. Financial risk management is carried out through risk reviews and
internal control systems. The Manager regularly reviews the risk profile and ensure adherence to the KIP REIT’s financial
risk management policies.
KIP REIT’s exposure to changes in interest rates relate primarily to interest-earning financial assets and interest
bearing financial liabilities. Interest rate risk is managed by the Manager on an ongoing basis with the primary
objective of limiting the extent to which interest expense could be affected by adverse movements in interest
rate.
For the purpose of this disclosure, only the Group level interest rate risk is disclosed as the risk at Fund level
mirrors the Group exposure, being the exposure to the MTN (refer note 11 and 12 for more details).
The interest rate profile of KIP REIT’s significant interest bearing financial instruments, based on carrying amounts
as at the end of reporting period is as follows:-
Group
2021 2020
RM’000 RM’000
Fixed rate instrument
Medium term notes – rated 210,000 210,000
If the interest rates have been higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s income for
the following year would increase or decrease accordingly as a result from the Group’s exposure to interest rates
on its borrowing which is not hedged. The Group has performed the following interest rate sensitivity analysis to
show the Group’s sensitivity to interest rates exposure:
Group
2021 2020
RM’000 RM’000
Floating rate instrument
25 basis point increase 14,233 14,113
25 basis point decrease 13,733 13,613
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to KIP REIT if the tenants or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations. 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.
KIP REIT is not exposed to significant credit risk. The risk of non-collectability of monthly rentals is also mitigated
with rental deposits collected from the tenants. Other than AEON from AMKC, which contributes to 23.1% (2020:
20.1%) of the rental income, the Group and the Fund do not have any significant exposure to any individual or
group of tenants or counterparties.
The Group and the Fund apply simplified approach which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised
from initial recognition of the trade receivables. To measure the expected credit loss, the expected loss rates are
based on the historical payment profiles of tenants and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced.
The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on factors affecting the
ability of the tenants to settle the receivables. The Group and the Fund have identified the credit profile and sales
performance of tenants to be the most relevant forward looking factors, and accordingly adjusted the historical
loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. The Group and the Fund have determined the default
rate for trade receivables based on their historical default rate and applied the historical default rate on trade
receivables balance in the financial year.
Credit risk with respect to trade receivables and accrued billings is limited due to the nature of business which
is mainly rental related and cash-based. Furthermore, the tenants have placed security deposits in the form of
cash which act as collateral. In view of the above, no additional credit risk beyond amounts allowed for collection
losses is inherent in KIP REIT’s trade receivables.
Bank deposits are placed with licensed financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by credit rating
agencies. Hence, the risk of material loss in the event of non-performance by a financial counterparty could be
considered to be unlikely.
The other receivables impairment is assessed collectively to determine whether there was objective evidence
that an impairment had been incurred but not yet identified. Loss allowance is measured at a probability-weighted
amount that reflects the possibility that a credit loss occurs and the possibility that no credit loss occurs.
The analysis of credit risk exposure of trade and other receivables are as follows:-
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivables.
The rolling forecasts of liquidity requirements are monitored to ensure there is sufficient cash to meet operational
needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on the committed borrowing facilities (Note 11).
Adequate cash, cash equivalents and bank facilities are maintained and monitored to finance the operations, to
distribute income to unitholders, and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, the Manager
also monitors and observes the REIT Guidelines concerning limits on total borrowings of the investment trust.
Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2021 of RM20.2 million (2020: RM17.0 million) are expected to assist in
the liquidity and cash flow risk management.

The overall capital management objectives are to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern in order to
provide returns for unitholders and other stakeholders as well as to maintain a more efficient capital structure.
The Manager’s on-going capital management strategy involves maintaining an appropriate gearing level and adopting
an active interest rate management strategy to manage the risks associated with refinancing and changes in interest
rates. The Manager intends to implement this strategy by:
(i) diversifying sources of debt funding to the extent appropriate,
(ii) maintaining a reasonable level of debt service capability,
(iii) securing favourable terms of funding,
(iv) managing its financial obligations and
(v) where appropriate, managing the exposures arising from adverse market interest rates, such as through fixed
rate borrowings, to improve the efficiency for the cost of capital.

The total borrowings should not exceed 50% of the total assets at the time the borrowings are incurred in accordance
with the REIT Guidelines. The Group and the Fund complied with the borrowing limit requirement for the financial year
ended 30 June 2021. Amount due from a subsidiary (Note 12) is deemed as a borrowing as it represents advances of
MTN proceeds from the subsidiary.
The Deed provides that the Manager shall, with the approval of the Trustee, for each distribution period, distribute all (or
such other percentage as determined by the Manager at its absolute discretion) of KIP REIT’s distributable income. It is
the intention of the Manager to distribute at least 90% of KIP REIT’s distributable income on a quarterly basis (or such
other interval as determined by the Manager at its absolute discretion).
The assets and liabilities measured at fair value and classified by level of the fair value measurement hierarchy are as
follows:-
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly (Level 2); and
(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data i.e. unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Level 3
2021 2020
RM’000 RM’000
Recurring fair value measurements:
Investment properties 808,000 807,000
Level 3 fair values of the investment properties have been derived from the income approach method based on
valuations performed by the Valuer, who holds a recognised relevant professional qualification and has recent
experience in the locations and categories of the investment properties valued. The valuation techniques, significant
parameters and movement in fair values are as disclosed in Note 6.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities as at reporting date approximated their fair values except
as disclosed below. The fair value of tenants’ deposits received from tenants at the reporting date is not materially
different from their carrying value as the impact of discounting is not expected to be significant. For floating rate loans,
the carrying value is generally a reasonable estimate of fair value.
In determining the fair value of the medium term notes with fixed interest rate, the Group utilises the discounted cash
flow method. This involves the derivation of the present value of cash flows arising from payments of interest and
principal based on the current market interest rates.
For the purpose of fair valuing the borrowing facilities, a proxy market interest rate is derived by reference to the
floating market rate paid on the floating medium term notes issue for a borrowing facility of similar characteristics. This
represents the best estimate of the market rate for the borrowing facility.

c) Movement restrictions of varying degrees have been imposed throughout much of the financial year in response
to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Group and the Fund continued to offer rental rebate assistance to eligible tenants
affected by the movement control orders subject to fulfilling the criteria set. The total rental rebate offered amounted
to RM598,000 for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: RM3.5 million). RM1.9 million of the cumulative rental
rebate were amortised during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (see Note 3(k) for the applicable accounting
policy).
The Group and the Fund do not foresee significant increase in credit risks of the tenant that may materially jeopardise
the sustainability of the Group’s and the Fund’s business despite dampened consumer demand across the Malaysian
economy.
