Offsetting these strengths are Goodman's earnings contributions from more-volatile property development and asset sales, a growing debt burden located in the group's equity-accounted associates and joint-venture entities, and a limited track record in growing the group's recently acquired funds management and development platforms in the U.K. and Europe, which are expected to contribute a substantial proportion of group earnings. The group's half-year results to Dec. 31, 2007 confirmed the sizeable spike in debt from recent acquisitions and the warehousing of assets.
