Introduction
We are pleased to present our latest acquisition – a significant Commercial and Bulky Goods Retail Complex in the Adelaide suburb of Noarlunga Centre.
OUR 5 REASONS FOR CHOOSING TO PURCHASE
THE NOARLUNGA COMMERCIAL COMPLEX
1. FAIR VALUE
The property has been purchased for $17,750,000 at a passing,
2. LOCATION
The Noarlunga Commercial Complex is ideally located in the heart of the Noarlunga Centre retail precinct. The population of Noarlunga Centre is forecast to increase by almost 85% over the coming 20 years, underpinning future increases in rental income.
3. TENANT MIX
The property offers 9 separate tenancies, including an attractive mix of commercial and retail spaces. The commercial spaces are soundly let to government and
4. INCOME
Based on our forecasts, the net income of the Noarlunga Unit Trust is expected to average 10.6% p.a. over the next 5 years. We propose to make monthly income distributions at the rate of 9.2% p.a. leaving adequate cash reserves for capital outlays and contingencies.
5. CAPITAL GROWTH POTENTIAL
Arises from two principal sources – future increases in rental income and the prospect of extending the building by the addition of a second level of office accommodation.
We welcome your interest in the Noarlunga Unit Trust. You will be assured of our ceaseless attention to managing and optimising the value of the property and the returns on your investment.
Sincerely
Tom Borsky
Director - Peak Equities Pty Ltd

The Noarlunga Area
The Noarlunga Commercial Complex is centrally positioned in the Adelaide suburb of Noarlunga Centre, home to some of the country’s most prominent retailers – Anaconda, Petbarn, Amart, Good Guys, BCF, and Harvey Norman, each of which is located in close proximity to the subject property. Noarlunga Centre also offers a range of cultural and civic amenities, and houses the City of Onkaparinga Civic Centre and Offices within in the ‘Colonnades’ site, located only 700 metres to the east.

The ‘Colonnades’ shopping centre, which recently sold for $150m (50% share) *(JLL Shopping Centre Investment Review Feb 2013), is a drawcard for the entire Noarlunga Centre, with 200+ specialty retailers and various amenities on site.
Noarlunga Centre is a destination in Southern Adelaide, attracting consumers from a large surrounding area, with impressive forecast population growth. The closest competing shopping districts are; Westfield Marion, some 19 kilometres north of Noarlunga Centre, and the privately owned Aldinga Shopping Centre, some 20 kilometres south.
The City of Onkaparinga, comprising some 52,000 hectares is the most populous Local Government Area in South Australia. Reputed demographers, Forecast.id are predicting growth of 84.9% in the suburb of Noarlunga
Centre in the next 20 years to 2036.

Risk Factors
Intending Investors should be aware of the following attributes of an investment in the Trust:
•Units in the Trust will be illiquid for a period of five years, in that they may not be readily
saleable, and may be converted to cash only when the investment property is sold or when otherwise provided in the Unitholders Deed.
•The Manager has no obligation to purchase or redeem Units during the first 5 years of the life
of the Syndicate. There is no established secondary market for Units and transfers may only be effected in accordance with the Constitution
Whilst the revenue forecasts provided in this Information Memorandum have been carefully formulated based on current market conditions and reasonable assessment of future conditions, unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances may arise during the term of the Fund which adversely affect the projected income streams and/or future capital values. There is no guarantee the financial forecasts in this IM will be achieved. There
are a number of risk factors which could impact on the projected income, the tax effectiveness of any distributions, and the return of capital or capital growth.
An investment of this nature carries a certain level of commercial risk, and the performance of the Fund may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside the control of the Manager. Some of the significant risks and the way the Manager aims to manage those risks are set out in the sections below. Please note the Manager cannot eliminate all risks and cannot promise that the way it manages them will always be successful.
Property risks
All property investment by its nature involves risk, and an investment in the Fund is no different. The Manager cannot guarantee the occupancy rate of the property, nor the income available for distribution to investors. Neither can the Manager warrant that the eventual sale of the property will generate capital gains to the investors.
12
Insurance risks
The Manager will insure the Property for full replacement value. However, the circumstances of a particular
loss or the specific provisions of the insurance policy may preclude a claim being accepted by the insurer. Additionally, there is a risk that the insurance money received may not be adequate to compensate the Trust.
Forecasting risks
The Manager does not guarantee the indicated earnings and rate of distribution set out in this IM. Investors should make their own reasonable enquiries and form an independent opinion of the future performance
of the Fund. The forecast financial information has been derived from financial models which have been developed by the Manager. There is a risk that the models may not accurately predict future distributions available from the Trust because one or more assumptions prove to be incorrect. Assumptions are generally only a best estimate at a point in time.
Borrowing risks
It is intended to partially fund the purchase of the property with debt and the Manager has received an indicative offer for finance from both CBA and NAB to provide a loan facility. Whilst an indicative offer has been obtained there is no guarantee the debt funding will ultimately be made available by the bank. The Manager will be required to meet various conditions before the funding can be drawn down. If the debt funding is not provided the Manager will need to seek an alternative lender and/or raise additional equity
Debt funding will be secured against the Property, with no recourse to investors. A default under the loan documents may lead to the financier exercising its security and selling the Property for a price lower than that which might have been achieved in normal circumstances. This may have a negative impact on the performance of the Trust and potentially a loss of capital.
Interest rate risk
The Trust will be exposed to interest rate movements on any variable rate borrowings that it has. Increases in interest rates could have the effect of reducing the availability or increasing the cost of finance for the Trust.
General Economic Risks
These relate to the overall risk of a broad range of investments. The returns on all commercial investments are affected by various economic factors including changes in interest rates, exchange rates, inflation and the general state of the economy.
Regulation and Taxation risks
Changes in Federal and/or State government policy or legislation, may adversely affect the Trust or Investors. The effects of tax may vary depending on the status of Investors, but may affect the accessibility of income, the deductibility of expenses, and the treatment of Trust income or impose additional expenses on the Fund.
