Valuation of investment properties (Refer to Note 5 to the financial statements) Risk: The Group’s investment portfolio comprises investment properties located in Singapore, Australia and Germany. Investment properties represent the largest category of assets on the statements of financial position. In accordance with the accounting policy adopted by the Group, investment properties are stated at fair values based on independent external valuations.

The valuations are sensitive to these key assumptions, including capitalisation rates, discount rates, terminal yield rates and future cash flows. A change in any of the key assumptions could have a significant impact on the valuation. 172 CAPITALAND INTEGRATED COMMERCIAL TRUST
