(6)Allowance for impairment of receivables in 3Q2009 pertained to the amounts receivable from a tenant of Cosmo Plaza. Please refer to section 8 page 17 for further details.

(7)Revaluations in all the investment properties were completed as at 30 September 2009, giving rise to a decrease in the fair values of these properties amounting to S$174.8 million for the financial period ended 30 September 2009. The downward revaluation in 3Q2009 of S$29.9 million arose from the adjustment of the carrying values of the properties.

The derivative financial instruments comprise foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps entered into by the Trust to manage its foreign currency and interest rate risks.
