2. RATIONALE FOR REVALUATION

The Revaluation was conducted to determine the current market values of Subang Parade, Mahkota Parade and Wetex Parade for accounting purposes as per Financial Reporting Standard ("FRS") 140. Based on the fair value method from FRS 140, the fair value of the investment property shall reflect market conditions at the balance sheet date. This necessitates the revaluation of investment properties on an annual basis.

Since it has adopted the fair value method from FRS 140, Hektar REIT will undertake an annual revaluation of all investment properties under its portfolio.

Pursuant to the amended Clause 10.03 of the Securities Commission ("SC")'s revised Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT Guidelines"), which was released on 21 August 2008, the Revaluation must be conducted by an independent valuer and in accordance with the Malaysian Valuation Standards or other applicable valuation standards. A copy of the Revaluation report must be submitted to the SC, together with the annual report of the fund as required pursuant to clause 10.10 (c) (ii) of the REIT Guidelines.
