Future Operations of the Company

Tosei mainly operates in Tokyo area, but with its current acceleration in acquisitions, it has been stepping up its investment targets to also include suburban income-generating properties in prime location like the area around stations, while closely looking at the area’s characteristics and the property’s occupancy ratio, etc.
The Company will continuously work to acquire more properties for sale, in an effort to achieve its annual acquisition target of ¥50 billion.

The above acquisitions will have minor effect on the Company’s operating performance of the current fiscal year, as most of the properties are scheduled to be sold after the end of the year.
