3. Borrowings

The Trust beneficially restructured its debt during August 2014. The weighted average cost of debt increased from 7.5% 
as at 31 August 2013 to 8.0% as at 31 August 2014 as a result of higher market interest rates and the increase in the 
portion of debt hedged against interest rate increases.

10. Strategy

Fountainhead has continued to build a platform for sustainable long-term growth despite the uncertain economic and
tough trading conditions. The Trust has successfully implemented a strategy that will see it reduce its exposure to
smaller riskier assets and significantly improve the quality of its portfolio through the development and refurbishment 
of core properties. The Trust’s strategy extends beyond quality retail investments to large properties in metropolitan areas
in other sectors that offer low-risk growing income streams and add value opportunities as illustrated by the acquisition
of Robor and CIB and the redevelopment of AMR. 

11. Prospects

Fountainhead expects to produce growth in distribution of 5% to 6% from its current portfolio for the 12 months to 31
August 2015 reflecting the challenging environment and the strategy to improve the quality of the portfolio. The
forecast is the responsibility of the directors of the manager and has not been reviewed or reported on by Fountainhead’s 
auditors.
