Thailand and on Samui Island. SPF’s revenue is dependent on
the number of departing passengers from and flights to Samui
Airport. If the actual number differs from our assumptions,
SPF’s yield may be affected. But note that SPF has a guarantee
of minimum revenue of 6% of the Fund size from Bangkok
Airways, the Property Manager. This suggests an estimated
guaranteed dividend yield at about 6% at current price, given
that all airport maintenance and operating expenses are borne
