* It is assumed that the Merger will become effective on November 1, 2023.

It is assumed that the New REIT will succeed the 97 properties of real estate and real

estate trust beneficiary interests held by KDO as of today (including the Harajuku

F.F. Building and the KDX Nagoya Sakae Building, which are scheduled to be sold

on November 1, 2023, the scheduled effective date of the Merger.), the 182 properties

of real estate and real estate trust beneficiary interests held by KDR as of today, the

70 properties of real estate and real estate trust beneficiary interests held by KRR as

of today, and York Mart Higashi-Michinobe, which is expected to be acquired by

KRR on September 25, 2023, and that the New REIT will acquire River City 21 East

Towers II, remm roppongi building and Akishima Distribution Center (Land) on

November 1, 2023, as of the scheduled effective date of the Merger.

Portfolio properties

Other than the above-mentioned properties, KDO currently holds an ownership

interests in a silent partnership. As stated in KDO's "Notice Concerning Sale of

Investment Asset (Silent Partnership Equity Interest)" dated April 20, 2023, KDO

has entered into an agreement ("Share Transfer Agreement") on April 20, 2023 for

the transfer of KRF43 Silent Partnership Equity Interest ("Equity Interest"). Based

on the Share Transfer Agreement, it is assumed that the New REIT will transfer the

Equity Interest on December 20, 2023.

Except for the above, it is assumed that there will be no changes in assets under

management (acquisition of new properties or sale of existing properties, etc.) by the

end of the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024.

This may change due to the acquisition of new properties or the sale, etc. of existing

properties.

Rental revenues are based on the leasing agreements in effect as of June 13, 2023,

taking into account seasonal and other variables based on past performance, and

recent real estate market trends.

As a result of the disposition of properties described in the press release, "Notice

Concerning Acquisition of Properties (River City 21 East Towers II and 2 Other

Properties) and Disposition of Properties (Harajuku F.F. Building and 1 Other

Property)" announced today, gain on sale of 1,505 million yen is expected to be

recorded in the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period).

Dividends receivables are expected to be 10 million yen for the fiscal period ending

April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period) in relation to dividends for the Equity Interest

described in "Portfolio properties" above.

The transfer of the Equity Interest (50.0% of equity in investment) is expected to be

completed on December 20, 2023, and the transfer is expected to result in a gain on

sale of securities of 545 million yen.

Forecasts are based on the assumption that there will be no rent in arrears or non-

payments by tenants.

Property-related operating expenses other than depreciation are calculated based on

historic data, reflecting variable costs including seasonal factors.

Property and facility management fees (property management and building

maintenance fees, etc.) are assumed to be 2,859 million yen for the fiscal period

ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period).

Property-related taxes are expected to be 3,051 million yen for the fiscal period

ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). Property-related taxes on the assets

acquired after January 1, 2023 are not expensed because property-related taxes are

settled with the previous owner at the time of sale, and the amount equivalent to the

Operating expenses

property-related taxes is included in the acquisition price. Property-related taxes for

the acquired properties are expensed from the following year of acquisition.

Depreciation is assumed to be 5,231 million yen for the fiscal period ending April

30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). The book value of the real estate, to be succeeded by

KDO from KDR and KRR on the effective date of the Merger has not been

determined as of today, and the actual depreciation amount may differ from those

assumed above.

Building repair expenses is expected to be 1,012 million yen for the fiscal period

ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). The amount assumed to be necessary is

recorded for each property, based on the asset manager's repair plan for each fiscal

period. However, repair expenses may be substantially different from the expected

amount due to certain unexpected factors.

In general, property related taxes for the purchase and sale of real estate is calculated

on a pro-rata basis with the previous owner and settled at the time of acquisition, but

KDO includes the amount equivalent to such settled amount in the acquisition cost.

Asset management fees are assumed to be 5,145 million yen for the fiscal period

ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). The details of asset management fees after

the Merger have not yet been finalized, and will be announced once they are

finalized. Asset management fees other than merger fees are assumed to be 2,245

million yen for the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period).

Expected extraordinary expenses incurred in the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024

435 million yen of asset management fees.

Interest expense and other debt-related expenses are assumed to be 2,349 million yen

for the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period), on the basis that 87

million yen will be added to interest expense as a reversal of prepaid expenses. Such

and KRR, totaling 1,166 million yen as of April 30, 2023 and as of March 31, 2023,

respectively. However, the final amount recorded may differ materially from the

above amount, as the final amount will be based on the market value as of October

31, 2023.

KDO has outstanding borrowings of 201,950 million yen and outstanding investment

corporation bonds of 13,000 million yen as of June 13, 2023.

In addition to the above, as of June 13, 2023, KDR has outstanding borrowings of

158,220 million yen and outstanding investment corporation bonds of 7,700 million

Of its current outstanding borrowings as of June 13, 2023, it is assumed that 35,000

period) will be refinanced in its entirety.

Of its current outstanding investment corporation bonds as of June 13, 2023, it is

assumed that 3,000 million yen which will mature by the end of the fiscal period

ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period) will be refinanced in its entirety.

It is assumed that 4,600 million yen will be newly borrowed in September 2023 and

6,800 million yen in November 2023 as part of the funds to acquire new assets, and

that there will be no significant change in the interest rate until then. However, the

actual total amount of borrowings may increase or decrease.

It is assumed that the total number of the new REIT's investment units outstanding

after the Merger will be 4,142,897, which is the sum of KDO's 848,430 units

outstanding units as of today, plus 848,430 units to be increased by KDO's

investment unit split (1-to-2 split), which is scheduled to take place on November 1,

2023 with the record date of the split being October 31, 2023, and 2,446,037 new

investment units to be issued by KDO in relation to the Merger. For details of the

investment unit split, please refer to the press release, "Notice Concerning Split of

Total number of

Investment Units" announced today by KDO.

investment units

The number of new investment units to be issued by KDO as a result of the Merger

has not been determined at this time and will vary depending on the status of exercise

of the rights to demand purchase of investment unit. The number of new investment

units issued will be announced as soon as they are determined after November 1,

2023, the effective date of the Merger.

Except for the above, it is assumed that the number of investment units outstanding

will not change until the end of the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal

period) as a result of new offerings and other reasons.

We estimate the gain on negative goodwill as a result of the Merger will be 25,281

million yen, and we plan to record this as an extraordinary income in the fiscal year

ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period) in accordance with the Accounting

Goodwill and

Standard for Business Combinations (ASBJ Statement No. 21, as amended on

January 16, 2019) ("Corporate Accounting Standards"). This amount is an estimated

negative goodwill

amount based on the assumption that KDR, classified as the acquired company under

the Corporate Accounting Standards, will receive total of 419,823 million yen in

assets, underwriting liabilities being 179,334 million yen, acquisition costs of Merger

being 219,102 million yen, and that KRR, classified as the acquired company under

4

the Corporate Accounting Standards, will receive a total of 312,892 million yen in

assets, with underwriting liabilities being 154,467 million yen, acquisition costs of

the Merger being 154,531 million yen (calculated based on the closing price of

305,500 yen on June 7, 2023 for an investment unit price of KDO, which is the

consideration amount for the Merger). The gain on negative goodwill as of the

effective date of the Merger has not been determined and may vary from the

abovementioned amount. In addition, goodwill may occur depending on the price of

KDO's investment units, instead of negative goodwill.

In the event that goodwill is generated as a result of the Merger, in accordance with

the Corporate Accounting Standards, the amount of goodwill will be recorded as

assets, and will be amortized over twenty years using the straight-line amortization

method.

Distribution amounts (distributions per unit) are calculated in accordance with the

distribution policy outlined in the New REIT's Articles of Incorporation.

For the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period), it is assumed that the

amount obtained by subtracting 25,028 million yen among negative goodwill of

25,281 million yen, which will be transferred to the reserve for temporary difference

Distribution amount

adjustments from net income, and adding the reversal of reserve for reduction entry

of 1,589 million yen will be distributed. The gain on negative goodwill has not yet

been determined, and the amount of reversal of reserve for reduction entry may

change depending on the operating conditions, etc.

Actual distributions per unit may fluctuate due to various factors such as fluctuations

in rental revenues caused by asset replacements or tenant replacements, unexpected

repairs, as well as fluctuations in number of investment units or fund raise.

Distributions in

There are no plans at this time for distributions in excess of earnings (distributions

excess of earnings per

unit

in excess of earnings per unit).

Forecasts are based on the assumption that there will be no amendments to the law,

taxation system, accounting standards, public listing regulations, requirements of the

Others

Investment Trusts Association, Japan, etc. which may affect the aforementioned

forecast figures.

Forecasts are based on the assumption that there will be no unexpected significant

changes in general economic trends, real estate market trends or other conditions.
