Over-paying distribution and have done so for a long time. Not a big fan of senior management. They are more financial engineers. Cautious of this name.

COMMENT
High yield of around 9%. Had been doing a lot of growth. Not much institutional support. Has been significant concern that the CEO has been taking very good care of himself on the financing. They claim they're going to be improving that. Looks safe right now but the market will be watching very carefully.

COMMENT
CEO’s contract is like no other. He takes fees both coming in and going out. Has pushed some good product and has done a lot of stuff well. Hasn't looked at this one closely although he has a little bit.

COMMENT
Recently sold a large part of his holdings. Bothers him that CEO’s compensation is based on growth rather than profitability. Also making more acquisitions outside of Canada and hopes they can transition these into accretive acquisitions. Doesn't expect much growth.

WEAK BUY
Have done a significant job of diversifying. Brought their payout ratio down from about 130% to 117%. A definite Caveat Emptor so don't invest too much.

COMMENT
Over distribute over their AFFO (Adjusted Funds from Operations). Leverage is higher than industry standard. Good properties. Management is on target and appropriately aggressive. Will have to issue more equity or buy more properties to get the 12% distribution on side.

DON'T BUY
Just acquired a number of properties on the Hwy 427 corridor in the Toronto area. Don't own the entire asset, which enables them to boost returns by charging asset/management property fees. He would like to see a couple of quarters of them operating. Too much over distributing and over leveraging for him.
