Property for Industry, which has a portfolio of 55 industrial properties, reported little-changed first-half profit as rentals rose and the company took one-time adjustments for a drop in the value of interest rate swaps.

Profit was $3.42 million, or 1.59 cents a share, in the three months ended March 31, from $3.44 million, or 1.62 cents a year earlier, the company said in a statement today. Rental income rose 3.2% to $8.19 million.

The investment group managed by AMP Capital Investors held its dividend unchanged from a year earlier at 1.55 cents a share. PFI’s properties were 98.6% occupied as at March 31, it said.
