2017 Annual Report - Digital Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund Following the initial delivery of 3,000 telecommunications towers on 31 December 2014 and the final delivery of 6,000 telecommunications towers on 31 December 2015, the Fund had further negotiated with TRUE Corporations regarding the actual quantity of telecommunications towers delivered and the quantity specified in the delivery plan. The negotiation has allowed the Fund to generate higher net revenue from telecommunications towers rental (towers rental income deducting property rental fee) due to lower rental fee of property for telecommunications towers installation as TRUE has delivered more Ground Base Telecommunications Towers than expected. Meanwhile, property rental fee for this type of telecommunications towers is cheaper than that of Roof Top type. Hence, net property rental fee must be revised. 2.2.4 The Fund invested in the 2nd additional telecommunications infrastructure business assets in November 2017 The Fund invested in the 2nd additional telecommunications infrastructure business assets which included:(1) the right to receive net revenue derived from the lease of telecommunications infrastructure business assets of Asia Wireless Communication Co., Ltd.
