AIMS in the announcement: "Given AREOF’s great performance since inception in late 2017..."
So, APW invest $19m in AREOF in Dec-17, book an 'instant revaluation gain' of $1.3m on purchase of units in an associate, and come the latest Jun-19 financials the carrying value was $20.2m.
This is equivalent to an annualised return on book value of 4%, all of which comes from that bargain purchase trick.
Come on guys "great performance" - giving yourself a pat on the back for taking out some disgruntled unitholders in another one of your own vehicles at a discount to what you believe the assets are worth.
