AUSTRALIAN MARKET CONDITIONS – CAP RATES

Cap Rates vs. Historical Peak and Average:

June 2015

• Disconnect between capital markets and space markets highlighted in recent sector dynamics:

• cap rates have firmed while vacancy rates remain elevated and income growth is subdued

• prices being driven by weight of money not underlying real estate fundamentals

• Cap rates have fallen most for industrial – lowest spread from historical average

• Expect further cap rate compression in FY16 driven by weight of money

AUSTRALIAN MARKET CONDITIONS – RETAIL

Retail Sales vs. Consumer Confidence:

2002 – 2015

• Retail sales growth has improved but driven by household goods (impact of strong housing market)

• Consumer confidence remains weak – therefore cautious on spending

• However, lower confidence partly offset by strong population growth, rising house prices and equity values (the “wealth effect”)

Housing Finance by Type of Borrower:

1995 – 2015

• Investor activity is driving the residential market

• However, despite all the hype about apartments off-plan sales, investors are preferring established housing

• APRA macro-prudential controls on bank lending will impact the investor market

• Strong link between interest rates and housing sector – investors need to be cognisant of interest rate increases down the track

Multi-Unit Dwelling as % of Total

Dwelling Completions: 1986 - 2015

• Apartments now key part of the market – 41% of completions in year to March 2015 – due to lifestyle/demographic changes, affordability (apartments

28% cheaper than houses in Sydney) and planning changes

• Inner Melbourne, Inner Brisbane & South Sydney apartment markets heading for an oversupply – better value in middle/outer ring suburbs, mixed-use

developments and around transport nodes

• Land sales falling across Australia since peaking in 2013 – driven by Sydney where lot sales down 29.7% in March quarter and almost 50% below

record set in December quarter 2013

• Media lot price in Sydney now $365,000 - 64% higher than Melbourne ($222,000) and Brisbane ($228,000)

House and Apartment Approvals – NSW and Victoria:

1988 – 2015

• NSW approvals declined significantly between 2003 and 2008 – leading to current undersupply and price pressures

• VIC approvals continue to run ahead of long-term average and also ahead of NSW – better planning system

• Declining affordability, concerns of oversupply in some sub-markets, supply bottlenecks (Sydney planning) will see supply taper off in 2016

Performance of the Top Five A-REITs:

Year to June 2015

• More capital being allocated in both the listed and unlisted real estate markets to alternative assets such as early learning, medical/health and seniors living

• 4 of the top 5 performing A-REITs in the year to June 2015 were social infrastructure related

• Alternate sectors typically higher yields than office, retail and industrial, although yield gap closing due to growing investor interest in alternate assets

• Benefits of investing in social infrastructure typically include longer leases (often 10 years or more), net or triple net leases (whereby the operator/ tenant

pays outgoings and is responsible for repairs and maintenance), often government backed cash flows & lower volatility compared to other assets

A-REIT Sector EPU and DPU Yields vs.

10 Year Australian Bond Yields: 1990 – 2015

• Despite strong price performance of A-REITs, spread between A-REIT yields and 10 year bonds still wide - DPU spread circa 225 bps –

well above long-term average of 60 bps

• A-REIT yield very attractive relative to other major global REIT markets on both absolute yield and relative spread to 10 year bonds • a key reason for strong inflows into A-REITs from global investors

• High correlation with movement in bond yields – A-REITs could come under short-term pricing pressure if bond yields move up

SUMMARY

Australia’s economic growth to remain below trend

Wall of money chasing real estate assets, especially non-residential assets will continue

Biggest challenge for investors will be finding attractive investment opportunities in a competitive market place

Industrial and real estate related social infrastructure to outperform

Seniors living sector is expected to offer significant investment opportunities

Wide divergence in performance of Australia’s housing sub-markets to continue

Momentum in the Sydney and Melbourne residential markets is set to slow

Strong return from A-REITs in FY15 unlikely to be repeated – move back to long-term average

Investors need to identify and quantify the risk in their real estate portfolios and focus on the underlying real estate fundamentals

“This time it’s different” does not abolish the real estate cycle

FOLKESTONE’S FOCUS IN FY16

Specific investment opportunities rather than focusing on top-down sector calls

focus on mispriced assets;

where we can add value;

Look to manufacture ‘core’ product rather than relying on competition lender process

Focus on early learning, particularly developing centres within 15km radius of CBDs and outer growth corridors and look for

opportunities in the seniors living sector

Maintain conservative leverage levels and structures in our income and development funds

Continue to stress test assets under various interest rate scenarios
