1. Status of Asset Management
- Status of Asset Management
(Overview of the Period ended September 30, 2021) i) Transition of KRR
KRR was established on October 3, 2014, under the Act on Investment Trusts and Investment Corporations of Japan (the "Investment Trust Act"). On October 30, 2014, KRR was registered with the Director-General of the Kanto Local Finance Bureau (registration number: Director-General of the Kanto Local Finance Bureau No. 97). KRR was listed on the Real Estate Investment Trust Securities ("J-REIT") Market of Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Tokyo Stock Exchange") (Securities code: 3453) on February 10, 2015. Subsequently, KRR raised funds through public offerings, including an international offering. As a result, the number of investment units issued at the end of the period ended September 30, 2021 was 582,177 units.
KRR seeks to invest primarily in neighborhood, community and other shopping centers that cater to the day-to-day needs of local area customers and have stable demand from retailers and customers, and also seeks to invest in distribution centers, which supplement shopping centers in providing goods to consumers, in order to provide stable investment returns over the long term. Sponsored by Kenedix, Inc., KRR entrusts its asset management and investment operations to Kenedix Real Estate Fund Management, Inc. ("KFM"), with the following strategies.
Note: For our management purposes and ease of classification, we define shopping centers for daily needs as retail properties that generally have the following characteristics: a. Retail trade area of approximately a one to ten km radius (and generally, a three to five km radius), with customers predominantly from local areas surrounding the
retail property
b. Operational capacity to accommodate certain daily local retail needs and strong customer traffic on both weekdays and weekends
c. Composed of various specialty stores to meet a range of day-to-day needs such as groceries, clothing and other daily goods and services
ii) Investment Environment
During the fiscal year under review, the Japanese economy continued to show signs of recovery, including improvements in corporate capital spending. However, conditions remained challenging with weak consumer spending, particularly in service spending, due to the impact of COVID-19 and the accompanying state of emergency declarations.
Shopping centers for daily needs, in which KRR focuses its investment, sales of service-oriented tenants including restaurants and some apparel stores have been declining amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but specialty stores such as supermarkets and home & garden stores that cater to the day-to-day needs of customers are expected to maintain steady demand. However, there have been some signs of instability, partly due to expectations of tapering of monetary easing in the United States.
In the real estate trading market, some investors initially took a cautious stance toward real estate investment due to the spread of the COVID-
19. However, investors' willingness to invest in real estate has been recovering against the backdrop of monetary easing policies in Japan and overseas, and active transactions are taking place.
- Management Performance
(A) Acquisition of Assets
KRR acquired four assets (Unicus Urawamisono (Land) with acquisition price (Note 1) of 732 million yen, Kitera Town Chofu with acquisition price of 10,500 million yen, Merado Daikai with acquisition price of 5,440 million yen and Apita Terrace Yokohama Tsunashima (49% trust beneficiary quasi co-ownership interests) with acquisition price of 5,667 million yen). KRR disposed of three assets (Daikanyama Address Dixsept (30% trust beneficiary quasi co-ownership interests) with sale price (Note 2) of 1,993 million yen (acquisition price was 1,617 million yen), Unicus Ina (20% trust beneficiary quasi co-ownership interests) with sale price of 1,048 million yen (acquisition price was 894 million yen) and Hankyu Oasis Hirakatadeguchi with sale price of 1,500 million yen (acquisition price was 1,280 million yen)).
As a result, the portfolio at the end of the period under review (September 30, 2021) consists of 66 properties with the total acquisition price of 245,274 million yen.
Note 1: "Acquisition price" represents the amount specified in the purchase and sale agreement for the trust beneficiary interests, exclusive of the various expenses (acquisition expenses, property tax, city planning tax, consumption tax, etc.) required in the acquisition of the asset.
Note 2: "Sale price" represents the amount specified in the purchase and sale agreement for the trust beneficiary interests, exclusive of the various expenses (sale expenses, property tax, etc.) required in the sale of the asset.
(B) Management and Operation of Assets
KFM provides property management services for all of the properties owned by KRR at the end of the period under review (September 30, 2021) (Note 1). By using the same company for both asset management and property management services, KRR aims to build stronger relationships with tenants and increase returns from its portfolio. Furthermore, by implementing retail property and distribution centers management that better reflects the needs of our tenants, KRR strives to accumulate know-how and improve tenant satisfaction.
KRR invests primarily in neighborhood and community shopping centers that cater to the day-to-day needs of customers. The portfolio is diversified in terms of properties, tenants and other characteristics with a goal to generate consistent long-term cash flows. At the same time,

KRR seeks to explore the upside potential (Note 2) for rental income by optimization of tenant composition and property expansion. By using these measures, KRR aims to pursue a portfolio that achieves both stability and growth.
As of the end of the period under review, portfolio as a whole performed well with an overall occupancy ratio of 99.6%. Furthermore, the portfolio is diversified in terms of tenants as there are 528 end-tenants (Note 3) in KRR's retail properties and distribution centers.
Note 1: On December 1, 2020, KRR disposed of a quasi-co-ownership interest (40% interest) in the trust beneficiary interest of Daikanyama Address Dixsept, and accordingly, the PM business of the property has been entrusted to a third-party other than the Asset Manager.
Note 2: "Upside potential" represents feasibility of rental income or cash flow growth.
Note 3: The number of end-tenants is the sum of the number of end-tenants in a pass-through type master lease and the number of master lessees in a sublease type master lease.
