The Manager of the Private Land and Property Portfolio (the wholesale fund into which the PLP invests) has reassessed the carrying value of its avocado producing land following the receipt of an independent valuation on a comparable property.
Based on the information in this independent report , the Manager considers a reduction in the value of its avocado orchards to be appropriate at this time.
The Manager has commissioned an independent valuation to be undertaken for the specific avocado orchards held by the Private Land and Property Portfolio. In the meantime, a reduction of $883,000 has been made to the carrying value of the land, which represents 0.67% of the net asset value of the PLP, resulting in a reduction of the most recently issued net asset value (NAV) per unit from $1.4016 to $1.3923.
Following the receipt of the independent valuation, the Manager will review its carrying value, with the potential for a further adjustment (which could be positively or negatively).
