I have to admit to being a bit unimpressed by this deal.
The $1.7m starting lease payments reflect an 8.5% cap rate on the $20m consideration.

A sale figure between $25m and $28m was my initial expectation when the idea was first announced earlier this year.

I guess the relatively muted price they received reflects the fact that there weren't too many natural buyers of this particular property (where I sense the nature of the buildings and structures do not provide much in the way of flexibility for different tenancy arrangements, outside of MCE).

Still, the deal provides much-needed funds to invest in working capital when and if the demand for MCE's products and services recover.

But, as stated before, I don't want to be holding the baby when the next downturn eventuates.

Because this company can't even turn a profit at the bottom of the current cycle, at a time when it is its own landlord. So I shudder to think what the financials will look like when the business has to absorb an additional rental impost as well.

Hi Adam,

Just wondering if you still holding this one?
Cheers,
