Fair point, drzzt. Unless the Chinese asset was in a prime location (sounds like it was) and the Korean asset was in a B grade location (not sure about that). Then we need to understand their FX hedging strategy...

Which one will Cache spend its money on - asset from parents or third party asset ?

CWT earned $6.86 million in the latest China sale and leaseback deal with Cache valued at approx $14.5 million. There is a quite a number of properties in the ROFR and development assets coming online in the next 2 years. Would it make better sense to purchase CWT for the potential boost in earnings and book value going forward or Cache for its stable income backed by master leases from CWT ?

Nick - where did you get the $6.86 million profit for CWT from in this deal with Cache?

"Based on the aggregate net assets of the Group Companies of S$6.65 million and the relevant costs of the sale, the Company will realise a total gain of approximately S$6.86 million, of which S$5.15 million will be accounted for as a one-time gain and the balance of S$1.71 million will be accounted for as deferred gain, to match off against the leaseback commitment, in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard FRS 17."

Personally my thinking would be more bias towards CLT though I'm vested in both at the moment. In fact, I'm thinking of partially divesting my CWT stake to put into CLT; but your point about potential boost to CWT's book values from divesting more properties is well noted.

When in doubt, buy both!
