(Reference) | Forecast of net profit per unit for the full fiscal year: JPY 2,054 (Calculated using the forecasted average number of investment units, 2,674,377 units, during the fiscal period) |

For operating forecast with full year impact of the three properties acquired (scheduled to be acquired) during the current fiscal year, see below " |
(*5) | Amount less than JPY1M is rounded down, and the second decimal place of variance ratio is rounded off. |
3. Rationale for revising the operating forecast and forecast of dividend
The major causes of variance in comparison with the previously announced operating forecast and forecast of dividend for fiscal period ending December 2014 and for the midterm of the fiscal period ending December 2014 are as follows:
(1) Fiscal period ending December 2014 (January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014)
a) Increase in variable rents, etc. of existing properties
The operating income is expected to rise JPY273M compared with the previous forecast as a result of JPY192M increase of variable rent due to the increase in GOP(*2) of HMJ's five hotels(*1) and JPY81M increase in income from the management contract, etc. due mainly to sales increase in the lodging sector supported by strong leisure demand both domestic and abroad.
Please refer to "
HMJ's five hotels.
b) Operating expenses, financial expenses, etc. associated with existing properties
Operating expenses, financial expenses, etc. are expected to be approximately at the same level as the previous forecast.
JPY74M of finance-related expenses (one-time amortization of borrowing handling expenses, etc.) in association with early repayment is expected, reserve for dividend from negative goodwill will be allocated for the amount since said expense is a non-cash item.
c) Impact of three property acquisitions
In fiscal period ending December 2014, although increase of JPY429M in operating income, JPY259M in operating profit and JPY166M in current net profit due to three property acquisitions, reserve for dividend
from negative goodwill is planned to be allocated since dilution of investment units due to issuance of new
investment units is expected. See below "
For the operating forecast with full year impact of said three property acquisitions, see below "
(Note 1) HMJ's five hotels are namely Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel, Oriental Hotel tokyo bay, Namba Oriental Hotel, Hotel Nikko Alivila, and Oriental Hotel Hiroshima.
(Note 2) GOP (Gross Operating Profit) is a representative management index for hotel operational abilities. Total

departmental profits of hotel business (e.g., room sales, food and beverage sales, sales of goods and others) - Non allocated operating expenses (Administrative expenses such as labor cost or utilities cost that are not included in operating expenses of each department)
(2) Midterm of the fiscal period ending December 2014 (January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014)
a) Increase in variable rents, etc.
The operating income increased JPY228M compared with the previous forecast as a result of JPY179M increase of variable rent due to the increase in GOP of HMJ's five hotels and JPY49M increase in income from the management contract, etc. due mainly to sales increase in the lodging sector supported by strong leisure demand both domestic and abroad.
b) Decrease in operating expenses, financial expenses, etc.
Operating expenses decreased JPY73M and non-operating expenses decreased JPY71M due to reduction of operating expenses compared with the previous forecast, carrying forward of operating expenses and expenses related to borrowings to the second half of fiscal year, etc.
(Note)
The above is the operating forecast as of today, and actual dividend per unit may fluctuate. This forecast does not guarantee the amount of dividend shown above.
