The firm’s unsolicited tender offer for TOC Co Ltd, real estate owner & manager, Tokyo, Affiliated with the New Hotel Otani Group, failed after offers by stockholders amounted to only about 34.6% of the outstanding shares, failing short of the 50% or more the firm had targeted..

With prices of existing buildings, real estate fund managers are diversifying their investments, acquiring properties undergoing or even before development.

The subject is signing purchases agreements with condominium and office building developers for properties still being built or for which construction has not even begun.  Acquisition costs can be kept lower than finished buildings.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Dec/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 13,021 million, a 1331.5% up from Yen 9,502 million in the previous term.  The steep rise is the results of making equity-method accounting system subsidiaries into fully consolidated subsidiaries.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 30,501 million and the net profit at Yen 9,124 million, respectively, compared with Yen 6,973 million recurring profit and Yen 4,481 million net profit, respectively, a year ago. 

 

(Jan/Sept/2007 results): Sales Yen 167,421 million, operating profit Yen 67,138 million (574.8%), recurring profit Yen 50,014 million (up 406.0%), net profit Yen 9,230 million (up 64.2%).  (% compared with the same period a year ago.)  The steep sales hike is the change in accounting method, wherein those funds which were treated under equity method accounting system have become consolidated subsidiaries.  Management fees rose by improved turnover of three funds.  Sale of Opportunity Fund and Core Fund also contributed, turning investment fees of Yen 7,871 million.

           

For the current term ending Dec 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 68,000 million and the net profit at Yen 11,200 million, on a 83.8% rise in turnover, to Yen 250,000 million.           Business is seen steadily rising.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,304.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount, US$79, is considered well within the firm’s financial capabilities.
